Chen Xiao was a Feng Shui master before his death. He changed his fate to save his master, but died of old age.
When he opened his eyes, he came to a world of immortal cultivation where there...
Li and Zhou immediately asked happily: "Why? You have used all my medicines? Tell me how they worked!"
Chen Xiao briefly told Li and Zhou how they used a powerful itching agent to fight a large group of black-tailed bat monkeys in the Bailing Fruit Forest, and how they used a powerful odorant to deal with poisonous vipers.
Li Yuzhou was very happy to see that his achievements had such a great effect. At the same time, he was also amazed that Chen Xiao had gone through such a thrilling experience in such a short time.
Chen Xiao asked Li Yuzhou why he was here. Li Yuzhou said, "I was originally from Taishen Heaven Realm. I went there because there was a medicinal ingredient that only Gengsheng had. And Gengsheng's expenses are less than Taishen. Once I have some research, I will live there for a while."
Chen Xiao finally understood. After the conversation, Li and Zhou heard that Chen Xiao had a batch of ice velvet to sell, and hurriedly asked: "Brother Xiao, can you sell me some of this ice velvet? I just need it to prepare a new medicine."
Chen Xiao nodded without hesitation: "Of course."
"That's great!" Li and Zhou rubbed their hands excitedly.
The clerk who had just returned from the store got anxious. This was just a way of cutting him off right in front of him! "Master Li, you can't be so dishonest!" Li and Zhou lived on Yingxian Island, so the clerk naturally knew this alchemist.
The shopkeeper next to him was calmer than him. He just smiled and asked Chen Xiao: "My dear, are you still going to sell your ice velvet to our store?"
Chen Xiao asked Li and Zhou, and they told him that he didn't need much ice velvet grass, only about ten kilograms would be enough. So the rest was sold to Zhencaotang smoothly.
Because this batch was of good quality, and some of them were of top quality, they were sold for more than 400 spirit beads. When leaving Zhencao Hall, Tong Nuonuo was a little disappointed with the price: "This ice velvet grass is so precious, but it is not as valuable as the white spirit fruit."
Tang Ru rolled his eyes at him unhappily: "You should be content! How many Bai Ling fruits did you have before, and how much Ice Velvet Grass do you have now?" It is a rare opportunity in a hundred years to clear out all the ripe fruits in the Bai Ling Fruit Forest.
Chen Xiao was very generous and sold it to Li Yuzhou at the same price as Zhencaotang, which saved him a lot of money. He was so happy that he couldn't contain himself and couldn't wait to run home to make new medicine. "Brother Xiao, I'll go ahead. See you here at noon in ten days. I will bring all the medicines you want by then."
Chen Xiao shouted at his back: "If you have any new powerful potions, you can bring them!"
Li and Zhou responded from a distance.
Chen Xiao divided the four hundred spirit beads into four parts, and Tong Nuonuo and Tang Ru carefully kept their shares.
"Okay, now that we're done with the business, we can go for a good walk. Nuonuo, do you have any good suggestions?" Chen Xiao said.
Tong Nuonuo thought for a moment and said, "There are five major shops on Yingxian Island. Qianxiufang and Wanjin Pavilion are closed now. We have been to Zhencaotang. The remaining places are Zuixian Winery and Jianzhai."
"What are these two running? It's not true that one sells wine and the other sells swords?" Chen Xiao asked.
Tang Ru shook his head, "Of course not. Zuixian Winery sells wines and food that are full of spiritual energy. Although Jianzhai has the word "Jian" in its name, it actually mainly sells refining items, including weapons, magic clothes, and accessories."
"Accessories." Chen Xiao's mind moved, "Let's go to this sword studio and take a look."
This surprised Tong Nuonuo. He said, "I thought you would go to Zuixian Winery first."
Chen Xiao coughed violently, "Hey... don't you still have some ice stone ore? You collected a lot of it yourself, but you can't use it, and I don't have any money to keep it, so I might as well go to Jianzhai and sell it."
If he told Tong Nuonuo right now, he might get angry and beat him up because he was thinking about going to Zuixian Winery alone with his elder brother. Chen Xiao felt a little guilty for putting love before friendship. But he quickly put it aside. Anyway, no one knew about it except him, so why should he feel guilty?
Tang Ru had no objection. Although Tong Nuonuo disliked weapon refiners, he had to admit that their works were still useful in some ways. His master had taken him to Jianzhai before, so of course he couldn't expect him to lead the way. Chen Xiao walked and asked along the way, and after half an hour, he successfully arrived at the area where Jianzhai was located.
It was quite obvious. As soon as you walked over here, you could see waves of smoke like mist. The smoke was produced by the refiners smelting minerals. However, the workshop behind the sword room was covered by a barrier, so the smoke would not spread.
If Zhencaotang is like a botanical garden, then Jianzhai is like a heavy metal fantasy garden. On both sides of the road, there is a huge forging furnace at intervals, or metals of unknown materials are placed in strange shapes.
Chen Xiao was amazed, but Tong Nuonuo curled her lips in disdain and muttered, "What's so great about it? It's just a show for the sake of attracting attention."
Chen Xiao looked at him with a look of laughter and tears, and also put away the surprise on his face. Tang Ru didn't care about Tong Nuonuo's jealousy, and said with emotion: "Weapon refiners are indeed a large group in the world of heaven, with a deep foundation. Just look at this sword studio, and you can see it."
Chen Xiao nodded silently. Just looking at these forging furnaces, they were not handed down from the same period. Moreover, these furnaces were not for decoration. Each of them showed signs of wear and tear.
Tong Nuonuo pouted but didn't say anything sarcastic. She just quickened her pace. Chen Xiao and Tang Ru were afraid of losing him, so they didn't bother to look at the various types of furnaces and ores and quickly chased after him.
In front of Jianzhai is a tall three-story building, each floor mainly sells different types of magic tools. The first floor is magic clothing, the second floor is accessories, and the third floor is weapons.
Tang Ru also had a large sum of money on him, so he planned to buy a set of robes. Although Tong Nuonuo and Chen Xiao had no need for anything, they accompanied him in a gentlemanly manner.
This made Chen Xiao couldn't help but smile bitterly. From ancient times to the present, girls in past and present lives seem to be born with the characteristic of spending time constantly comparing and selecting. Tang Ru put the selected pieces together, kept wearing them, looking for them in front of the dressing mirror on the first floor, and had to ask the two people for their opinions.
After spending nearly three quarters of an hour accompanying him, Chen Xiao finally gave in. He said to Tang Ru, who was still full of energy, "I'll go upstairs to take a look. Let Nuonuo stay here with you."
Tang Ru glanced at Tong Nuonuo, who was drowsy in the chair, and seemed a little dissatisfied. She nodded: "Go ahead, I will take good care of Nuonuo."
Chen Xiao gave a dry laugh and said nothing else. He quickly stood up and walked towards the stairs under the guidance of the waiter.
After going up to the second floor, the number of people in sight suddenly decreased a lot. In the world of immortal cultivation, magic equipment is a must, and except for martial arts cultivators, ordinary immortal cultivators will not choose magic weapons. As for accessories, there are offensive and defensive types, but they are not affordable for ordinary immortal cultivators.
The cultivators who could go up to the second floor were all either rich or noble. As soon as Chen Xiao stepped onto the floor, a graceful and pretty waitress came towards him. The waitress bowed to Chen Xiao and said, "Master, I am here to greet you." She stood up and said in a gentle voice and calm manner, "I wonder if this guest needs anything?"
Chen Xiao was very satisfied with the waitress's service attitude. He said, "I think I want to give it to someone. Are there any accessories suitable for men?"
The waitress extended her hand and made a gesture of invitation. Chen Xiao walked over and whispered softly, "There are several categories of accessories suitable for male practitioners. There are hair accessories, earrings, necklaces, collar buckles, chest buckles, bracelets, finger rings, waist pendants, nose rings, nipple rings, navel rings..." Xiaoman's voice was not loud, but very clear. She listed them all, without stopping, and listed more than a dozen kinds.
Chen Xiao was stunned when he heard this. He really didn't know that men could wear so many kinds of accessories. He could understand normal ones like hair accessories, necklaces, collar buttons, etc., but there were also such heavy-handed ones as nose rings, nipple rings, and belly button rings!
Once again, Chen Xiao felt that his three views were shattered.
"Well... don't use the ones on your body, normal ones will do." Chen Xiao gritted his teeth and interrupted Xiaoman's plan to continue expanding his knowledge.
Xiaoman stopped obediently and smiled: "Xiaoman probably understands the guest's intention. Please come this way."
The second floor provides one-on-one VIP service. Xiaoman led him to an empty seat, then walked away for a while and came back with a tray.
Chen Xiao took a closer look and was relieved. There was nothing heavy on the items, just some hair accessories, earrings, necklaces and the like.
"Can I get started?" Chen Xiao asked.
Xiaoman stretched out her hand and made a gesture: "Guests, please feel free to help yourself."
Chen Xiao glanced at the things on the tray, and then he reached out and picked up a pair of one-dollar coin-sized ornaments, which were connected by a chain. "What is this?"
Xiaoman said gently: "What the customer is holding is a breast button."
Chen Xiao pondered for a moment. Was it something like a brooch? He looked up at Xiaoman standing beside him and asked, "How do you wear it?"
Xiaoman pointed to the chest with her hand and said, "Usually male cultivators wear an open long gown. This chest buckle is used to fix the cardigan to prevent it from being blown open by the wind or swinging too much during activities."
Chen Xiao immediately thought of Xi Yunting's dressing style. He often wore a long robe with a drapey feel inside and a flowing gown outside. So he immediately decided to give his elder brother a pair of chest buttons.
"Let's take this chest buckle, and get a few more styles. It has powerful functions, and the attributes are gold, fire, or something similar." Chen Xiao said.
Xiao Man bent down to take away the tray that was used as a sample for Chen Xiao to see. "So, in terms of price, what are the customer's requirements?"
Chen Xiao said: "Pick up the expensive ones!"
Xiaoman couldn't help but smile: "Okay, please wait a moment."
After Xiaoman, more than a dozen pairs of chest buckles of different colors and shapes were presented. These chest buckles were not only made of high-quality materials, but also had buff effects and contained magic.
Chen Xiao picked out a pair at a glance. The middle one was an obsidian-like gem that was cut to be as bright and brilliant as the gem in his previous life. The outside was wrapped with silver-gray metal wire, and the hanging chain was made of small obsidian-like gems.
Xiaoman told him that this pair of chest buckles was one of Jianzhai's top magic weapons, and was extremely suitable for cultivators with fire attributes. Not only could it enhance the recovery and attack speed of fire essence, but the gemstone called Fire Shining Stone also contained powerful attack spells. The energy contained in one chest buckle could attack three times, and a pair could attack six times.
