Fusang Sword Heart Diagram

Chapter 129: Raising the price from the ground up
Ning Fusang was still pondering the price when Yu Qiao, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but say for her, "Fifty spirit stones per stone."

"Cough cough..." A coughing sound came from under the cloak, and the cultivator almost gritted his teeth as he questioned, "Why don't you just rob it?"

This is outright price gouging!

Yu Qiao felt no guilt whatsoever. He sneered, "Robbing is not my intention, but business is about mutual consent. If you are not willing to do this business, you are welcome to leave."

He was a disciple of the Miaokong Sect, specializing in the art of theft. As for dangerous things like robbery, Yu Qiao believed that he did not have the ability to do so, nor was it in line with his cultivation.

The man remained silent for a moment, then looked at the girl in black.

She is the stall owner.

Yu Qiao seemed to have just remembered this incident and secretly transmitted his voice to Ning Fusang, "Fellow Daoist Shu Guang, you can't be soft-hearted. It's not easy to find a sheep to slaughter. Whether it's fat or lean, you can always come up with fifty spirit stones."

Ning Fusang was certainly not a kind-hearted person.

There's no need for Yu Qiao to remind them.

Things are valued for their rarity, so is it a problem if her blood-clotting pills are sold at a higher price?

no problem.

She was just struggling with the price, but since Yu Qiao had spoken first, it saved her the trouble of figuring it out herself. At this point, Ning Fusang didn't need to undermine him.

"Fifty spirit stones per stone, no bargaining." The girl's attitude became even more firm.

The cultivator was completely passive. After a long while, he squeezed out a single word from his throat: "Okay."

"Give me three Blood Clotting Pills."

Ning Fusang accepted the spirit stones and then asked, "Would you like some healing pills?"

The cultivator took the Blood Coagulation Pill, swallowed one, then paused upon hearing this, and said coldly, "You're raising the price on the spot, isn't that enough?"

"Healing pills aren't only available at your stall."

Ning Fusang said very sincerely, "I can give you a discount."

Monk: “…”

Does he look like a sucker?

Seeing that he didn't believe her and was about to try to reason with him, Ning Fusang snorted, gave a cold laugh, and left without saying another word to the unscrupulous merchant.

Huangyun City doesn't have a market closure policy; in fact, it gets even more lively around midnight. The stalls are almost overflowing.

"Fellow Daoist Shuguang, are you packing up to leave already?"

Ning Fusang hummed in agreement, still holding onto her previous idea: "Would you buy it all as a package?"

Yu Qiao pretended not to hear.

Ning Fusang had no choice but to put all the remaining unsold items into her storage bag.

The Southern Star Sword Sect also has a market, where she can package and sell items to Fei Qi.

In Ning Fusang's mind, Fei Qi was quite like a junk collector. But in reality, Ning Fusang also knew that Fei Qi was a shrewd and resourceful man, a real talent.

The long night was dreamless.

The next morning, while Ning Fusang was having breakfast in the lobby downstairs, Zhi Xiaocao and Li Yeshan came out one after the other.

"Senior Sister Ning, when did you get back? I didn't notice at all." Zhi Xiaocao had dark circles under her eyes, clearly indicating that she hadn't slept well.

After slowly finishing the last spoonful of porridge, Ning Fusang said, "Do I need to knock on the door to let you know I'm back?"

"No need—" Zhi Xiaocao hesitated for a long time before finally uttering two words.

He discovered that Senior Sister Ning had a penchant for making sarcastic remarks.

However, Zhi Xiaocao was quite used to it and spoke in that tone.

Since the outer sect competition ended, former classmates have become distant and indifferent, almost like outsiders.

He was just lucky to be assigned to live with Li Yeshan, so he could have an acquaintance for company.

A year is enough to change many people. But even after becoming a direct disciple, Senior Sister Ning treated him and Li Yeshan the same as before. Perhaps that's just the kind of person Senior Sister Ning is.

Recalling the past, Zhi Xiaocao couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and then she couldn't stop talking, "Senior Sister Ning, do you still remember Ruan Sanniang?"

Strangely enough, the relationship between him, Li Yeshan, and Ruan Sanniang was actually quite good.

"She's in the outer sect, and life isn't easy for her."

Zhi Xiaocao didn't think much of it; she just mentioned it unconsciously.

Ning Fusang listened without any reaction.

Everyone has their own difficulties; the only way to overcome them is through self-reliance.

When Li Yeshan returned with the food he and Zhi Xiaocao had bought, he overheard Zhi Xiaocao talking about Ruan Sanniang, so he picked up the conversation:

"Third Sister's roommate is not easy to get along with, but Cai Lian is dead, and only Jin Xue is left. She can't cause any trouble, so there's no need to worry too much."

Ning Fusang heard a familiar name: "Cai Lian is Ruan San Niang's roommate?"

She probably already knew about Ruan San Niang's situation. Cai Lian despised her and was willing to make a deal with demons to kill her. Ruan San Niang was her former roommate, so it wasn't surprising that Cai Lian would target her.

only--

"Cai Lian is a menial disciple, how could he live under the same roof as Ruan San Niang?"

Zhi Xiaocao looked at Ning Fusang in surprise: "Senior Sister Ning, do you know Cai Lian?"

“We have a history of conflict,” Ning Fusang said briefly.

Li Yeshan was also a shrewd man. He didn't delve into the so-called "grudges." He stopped Zhi Xiaocao from saying something and said, "Although the outer disciples' residences are drawn by lot, the stewards won't interfere. Everyone can exchange courtyards privately."

"There is no clear distinction between the residences of servant disciples and outer disciples, and there is a lot of room for maneuver. Cai Lian changed places with someone and moved to live with her little sister Jin Xue, so she ended up living under the same roof as Ruan San Niang."

Although Ning Fusang had also done odd jobs, she really didn't know this.

"Jiang Xin is on good terms with Ruan San Niang, didn't she stand up for her?"

Ning Fusang asked casually.

Cai Lian knew her personality; it was impossible for him to treat Ruan San Niang differently just because he had lived with her for three years. Therefore, Cai Lian's targeting of Ruan San Niang was purely due to his twisted personality.

With no irreconcilable conflicts and with inner disciples backing Ruan San Niang, Cai Lian would naturally restrain himself.

But from what Zhi Xiaocao and Li Yeshan said, Cai Lian and Jin Xue seemed quite unscrupulous.

Li Yeshan said, "Inner disciples are busy with cultivation and have heavy tasks. They don't have time to care about outer sect matters."

"Moreover, Jiang Xin is not the type to use her power to oppress others, and Ruan San Niang is not the type to bully others by relying on her power."

In Li Yeshan's memory, Jiang Xin's appearance was rather vague. He only remembered that she was a quiet, reserved girl with a low profile.

Ning Fusang neither confirmed nor denied this.

Jiang Xin is considered quite talented among ordinary people, but Ning Fusang has seen too many geniuses, and Jiang Xin's talent is far from worth mentioning.

He achieved fame at a young age and was full of vigor and ambition.

Holding a rainbow sword, he crossed the sea to slay whales.

Jiang Xin has never reached any of those heights.

Like Li Jinzhen of the Southern Star Sword Sect and the eldest daughter of the Autumn Frost Sword Sect, who were known as the "Twin Beauties of Swordsmanship," Yang Ruo's senior brother, Liang Heng, once killed a demon causing trouble in Yuzhong County with a single sword, making him famous for a time.

As Zhi Xiaocao and Li Yeshan finished their meal and were about to leave, Ning Fusang asked, "Where's the little monk from Kongyun Temple? Did he leave on his own?"

Zhi Xiaocao knew about this matter. He lowered his voice and whispered, "Master Kongsheng has gone to collect the bodies on the city wall. We will meet outside the city later."

Ning Fusang: "..."

She thought the little monk had changed his ways.

However, he knew that if he did this secretly and didn't cause any trouble, Ning Fusang wouldn't have any objections.
