Family Cultivation: Rise of the Wilderness

Chapter 338 Shipping
Lingmi is even more exaggerated.

Since spirit rice is sold by weight, selling spirit rice using a storage bag with limited space won't earn you many spirit stones.

Generally speaking, such bulk commodities are handled by mortal caravans, with cultivators at most acting as lookouts.

Li Xiangming was well aware of this. He looked at the carts behind Li Jihu and the others. The boxes piled up on these carts were much higher than the "mountain" he had extorted.

Of course, most of them are low-value medicinal herbs.

Li Xiangming believed that this batch of spiritual herbs was most likely stolen from Green Cloud Cave.

The Luoyang Mountains themselves produce spiritual herbs, and it won't be easy for Song Kui to sell them in a short time.

Li Xiangming looked around and put the valuable portion of it into his storage bag.

His storage bag came from Fairy Green Cloud and was quite extraordinary, equivalent to five ordinary small storage bags.

Then he took out the three storage bags from the disciples of the Star Absorbing Village and filled them all.

Nevertheless, several carts were left behind.

Li Xiangming gave Li Jihu a wink.

Li Jihu, who had been eagerly anticipating this, immediately coughed and said, "Brothers, you decide what to do."

"Thank you, Hall Master Li, thank you, Commander!"

"We've struck it rich! This time it's really big!"

Song Ye and the others danced with joy.

While they were in the warehouse, they had already secretly made a small profit.

This was something Li Jihu tacitly agreed to.

They thought they had already made a fortune, but they didn't expect Li Xiangming to be so generous as to give them a storage bag.

You should know that in the warehouse, people would only plunder some spirit stones and hide them, and at most carry a few bottles of pills with them.

Even if you take it, how much can you take?
But with storage bags, things are completely different.

In just a few moments, Song Ye and his men swept away the three carts, leaving them completely empty.

Everyone has a happy smile on their face.

"gone!"

Li Xiangming gave a signal and withdrew the Black Water Serpent.

Judging by the time, Song Kui should be back soon.

In terms of methods, he believed he was no less capable than Song Kui.

However, his magical power was somewhat affected by the presence of the human pill, and he did not want to fight Song Kui.

The reason they dared to swagger into the Star Absorbing Village was because they were certain that Song Kui was not there.

This guy should be being led around by Li Chenggeng right now.

According to the Li family's plan, they wanted to get rid of Song Kui, this scourge, for Li Xiangming.

However, Li Xiangming had already decided to deploy Green Cloud Cave in Pu County. Song Kui's Star Absorbing Village could no longer threaten him, so it was better to keep this sworn enemy and give the Green Cloud Cave disciples a good jolt to see if one or two Foundation Establishment cultivators could emerge.

In fact, what Li Xiangming really wanted to provoke was Zhang Min.

His senior sister has a soft personality and her devotion to the Tao is not strong enough.

This ordeal may bring about some changes.

Of course, even if none of the disciples of Green Cloud Cave establish their foundation, Star Absorbing Village won't fare much better.

Because Zhao Yue also harbored hostility towards them.

Li Xiangming had already asked around, but no one present could provide any clues about the remains of Fairy Shanyun.

Some speculate that a batch of corpses were burned at the Star-Absorbing Village, and Fairy Shanyun might have been among them.

Zhao Yue must find this result hard to accept.

With her talent and the guidance of the True Man Xuanli, she is on the verge of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

Song Kui, life isn't easy!
In addition, Li Xiangming specifically mentioned Shao Zhen during this operation.

Although it is clear to everyone that Li Xiangming and others have nothing to do with Shao Zhen.

But Li Xiangming plundered almost all of the wealth of the Star Absorbing Village. This resentment and hatred cannot be swallowed.

Shao Zhen will inevitably become the primary outlet for the pent-up frustrations of the Star Absorbing Village disciples.

This person likes to play mind games, and Li Xiangming also plans to annoy him.

Soon, Li Xiangming and his group left triumphantly.

The disciples of the Star Absorbing Village on the ground remained kneeling, utterly dejected.

After an unknown amount of time, a few sobs were heard, which then grew louder and louder until they turned into wailing. They were crying because their wealth was gone, and they were crying because of the uncertain future ahead.

"This is... difficult to sell!"

Dendrobium Market, Muxiangzhai.

A middle-aged cultivator with a goatee carefully squatted in front of a large box. The box was custom-made, made of iron on the outside and jade on the inside, with four jade compartments in the middle, each compartment further divided into grids, containing various kinds of spirit ores.

The goatee-bearded cultivator took out one of the pieces, shook his head and sighed, "Two pounds of this kind of yellow sand iron is only worth one spirit stone. This piece is less than the size of a fist, tsk tsk!"

Li Qian, standing nearby, said with a dark face, "Old Xiong, I invited you here to give them an appraisal, not for you to judge them."

Old Cao smiled slightly: "If I don't explain their value clearly, Old Li, you might not be satisfied with my offer, right?"

"In front of our leader, Manager Xiong should quote a price that satisfies everyone."

Li Qianxiong grunted.

Upon hearing this, Xiong Chengzhou glanced at Li Xiangming, who was standing silently to the side, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

He and Li Qianchang were old acquaintances, so he naturally knew that the other party came from the Li family of Jinguang Lake.

They also knew about the Li family's relocation.

Li Qianchang did not follow his family to Puxian County, but chose to stay in Haoxian County. His status in the family would undoubtedly drop a level.

But no matter what, this guy has been operating in the Dendrobium Market for two or three decades, so he's definitely a veteran.

However, his new leader was surprisingly young.

Judging from Li Qianchang's attitude, the other party seemed to be quite authoritative.

This truly piqued Xiong Chengzhou's curiosity.

Although he was still thinking about it, Xiong Chengzhou didn't hesitate to say it aloud, cupping his hands and smiling, "Please rest assured, Hall Master Li, our Tingquan Pavilion is well-known among our peers in the Dendrobium Market, and the prices we offer are absolutely fair!"

Li Xiangming nodded: "Of course I trust Manager Xiong."

Just then, a young cultivator burst in.

He looked around, but when he saw Xiong Chengzhou, he didn't dare to speak.

"Just tell me, it's okay."

Li Xiangming waved his hand.

The young cultivator quickly approached and whispered, "The Luo Yan Merchant Guild has sent someone over."

Luoyan Chamber of Commerce?

Xiong Chengzhou, who had been listening intently, immediately changed his expression.

Li Xiangming chuckled lightly, "Uncle Qianchang, please entertain Manager Xiong properly. Excuse me for a moment."

"Yes!"

Li Qianchang nodded with a smile, then grabbed Xiong Chengzhou's arm: "Come on, Lao Xiong, don't just stand there, there's still so much to see!"

Xiong Chengzhou's expression was gloomy and uncertain.

If his Tingquan Pavilion is somewhat famous in Dendrobium Market, then the Luoyan Chamber of Commerce is very well-known.

It's not just Dendrobium Market!
In the entire Zhangning Prefecture, the Luoyan Chamber of Commerce is one of the top chambers of commerce.

Why would they visit Muxiangzhai?

After thinking about it for a while, Xiong Chengzhou felt somewhat discouraged.

The Li family is not a small family lacking connections; they have a long history in Hao County.

It's not surprising that they were able to summon the person in charge of the Luoyan Chamber of Commerce in Dendrobium Market.

The thought of losing his business to the Luo Yan Chamber of Commerce made Xiong Chengzhou feel extremely uncomfortable.

He wasn't interested in the boxes of ore in front of him, but rather in a batch of magical artifacts in the Li family's possession.

Tingquan Pavilion has a wide range of businesses, selling everything, making it a veritable "general store," but it is much larger than an ordinary general store and enjoys a high reputation among independent cultivators.

The cultivators of Hao County all know that among the Dendrobium Market, the magical artifacts from Shuiyuexuan are of the best quality.

This is because they have not only gained the favor of several major chambers of commerce, but have also established good cooperative relationships with many local weapon refiners.

But good things come at a higher price.

The disciples of those sects and families naturally had no worries and immediately took action.

However, most independent cultivators are unwilling to spend money at large establishments.

They would then settle for second best and go to some grocery stores.

Xiong Chengzhou targeted this market and "transformed" Tingquan Pavilion into a general store.
