Chapter 50: Market

Since rotation is inevitable, we can only grit our teeth and accept it.

The Xianlai Sect could indeed provide 3,000 crystal stones, but this was indeed not a small amount. When they thought about giving it away for free and not being able to learn anything useful, they all felt angry. Because of the anger, everyone was practicing very diligently, and Mo Jiuwei also began her days of "taking turns to accompany".

Today I will accompany Uncle Liu to practice, tomorrow I will accompany Brother Hu to make talismans, and the day after tomorrow I will accompany Sister Ji to practice swordplay...

If we were to say who in the Xianlai Sect is the least diligent in practicing, it would probably be Chen Lan.

Her problem lies not elsewhere, but in her own poor condition. There is always something missing when she practices, which makes her efficiency less than half of that of others.

Mo Jiuwei had no choice but to accept this. The matter of Chen Lan's daughter had dealt her too great a blow. She had to figure it out and let it go by herself. No one else could help her.

"Chen Lan, take these things to the market and try to sell them for a good price." Liu Feng said, pointing at the pile of things on the table.

This is the result of the work that Hu Jiu and the other two have achieved over the past few days.

Because they are novices, what they refined are only very basic things. Everyone cannot use so many, and it would be a waste to keep them. It is better to sell them in the market and exchange them for crystals.

"No problem, leave it to me." Chen Lan said with a smile.

"If it can be sold, sell it. If it can't be sold, package it and sell it to the shop. You can handle the specific situation." Liu Feng has great confidence in Chen Lan's ability and knows that there is no problem leaving this matter to her.

"good."

[And me, take me with you! ] Mo Jiuwei was excited.

It's great to be going out again.

She wants to go to the market to set up a stall too!

After hearing this, Liu Feng looked at Chen Lan calmly and asked her what she thought.

"Jiuwei, come with me. I'll take her to see the excitement outside." Chen Lan tapped Mo Jiuwei's nose lovingly.

Jiuwei is not an ordinary child. She won’t cry or cause trouble. She just stays quietly, and she knows a lot more.

It can be said that everyone is willing to take her with them and no one will dislike her.

"I'll go with you guys." Ji Qingqing also said, "I've been practicing sword skills these days and my eyes are a little blurry. I want to take a short break."

So the three of them formed a group.

There are two types of shops in the market: one is a fixed shop with a storefront, and the other is a popular roadside stall.

If they want to run a large and long-term business, it would be suitable to rent a shop, but for a small business like theirs, they naturally have to rent a small stall.

This kind of stall can be rented by the day, half a month, or month. Because they didn't know the situation at the moment, they only rented it for one day.

"Here, No. 39, East Fourth Lane, this is your stall. From now until this time tomorrow, if you stay more than a quarter of an hour later, you will be charged an extra day's rent."

The servant from the market brought them to the place, explained everything to them and then turned and left.

However, before leaving, he looked at Mo Jiuwei twice more, obviously surprised that someone would set up a stall with such a young child.

"Hey, is this child your daughter?"

The stall next to them was run by an old man selling tea. His hair was completely white and his business was not very good, so he was just looking around idly. When he saw them coming, he started chatting with them.

"No, she's my junior sister." Chen Lan explained.

Her face didn't look very good, not because of the old man's words, but because of something else.

She raised her eyes and looked towards a shop diagonally in front of her, her eyes were filled with dark clouds and heavy.

Not only her, Ji Qingqing also had a stern face and gritted her teeth when she looked at the shop.

After the old man asked this question, seeing their expressions, he didn't dare to say anything else, but just half-closed his eyes and took a nap.

[What's wrong with you two sisters? Is there something wrong with that shop?] Mo Jiuwei also noticed it and couldn't help but feel confused.

However, the senior sisters who had always been in tune with her did not speak to explain the matter this time. They just quickly looked away and began to take out things and put them on the ground.

The shop on their right was still empty and no one had rented it.

There were not too many monks passing by at this time, and the berth they were assigned was not in a prime location and was not a must-pass place for pedestrians.

So after waiting here for a while, no one stopped to ask, let alone anyone came to buy.

"Senior Sister, we can't fail to close even one deal, right?" Ji Qingqing was quite expectant at first, but became frustrated after waiting for a while.

"It's normal that we can't make a deal. What we sell isn't that special. People can buy it anywhere." The old man on the left said, "Unless you sell it at a really low price."

"That won't do." Ji Qingqing said, "Our things are not easy to come by, we can't sell them cheaply."

If it is sold at a low price, wouldn’t the hard work of the three senior brothers and sisters be wasted?

Besides, these things also cost money, and buying materials costs money!

Even if they cannot be sold for the time being, they cannot lose money.

The old man laughed after hearing this and said, "It's always like this at the beginning."

"You must have been setting up your stall here for a long time, right?" Chen Lan turned her head and asked the old man.

"It's been quite a long time, on and off, about ten years or so." The old man nodded, then picked up the cup and sipped the tea in it.

"So long? Did you make any money?"

"I don't make much money, but it's quite interesting, much more fun than staying at home," the old man said with a smile.

Chen Lan looked at the tea at the old man's stall. These were not spiritual teas, but the most common teas. They might taste good, but they were not a necessity for cultivators. However, the price was cheap.

Chen Lan's expression was a little strange——

Can these teas really be sold?

The old man didn't chat with them anymore. Instead, he tilted his head and started talking to the lady selling hairpins on his left.

"Excuse me, how much is the elixir this time?"

After a while, a young male cultivator hurried past, then stopped and asked.

"One 10-crystal stone." Chen Lan said.

This price is a little cheaper than the normal market price, but it is not the cheapest because when they came, they saw another store selling 9 crystals.

However, the quality of that pill was a little worse, and it looked like it was made by a beginner.

From this we can see that Du Yue has a good talent in alchemy. Although she is also a beginner, her finished pills look better than others.

The male cultivator pursed his lips after hearing this, "I want five, can I have 45 crystals?"

"45 is not okay, 47 is fine." Chen Lan said readily.

The male cultivator hesitated for a moment, but finally paid the money, took the pills and left in a hurry.

The old man was quite surprised to see this scene, "Great, it's open so soon?"

"It's just luck." Chen Lan said, "It looks like he's going on a long journey, so he has to buy this pill."

The old man nodded and went back to talking to the old lady.
