Chapter 10: Taking the Brothers and Sisters to Town to Sell Sika Deer

That night, Chen Xingyun stewed wild boar meat early. After adding peppercorns, star anise and other seasonings, the fishy smell was indeed covered up a lot and the taste was much better.

The two consecutive meals consisted of white rice and meat. The brother and sister were so happy that they wanted to cry. They never thought that they would be able to live such a life one day.

Even if I let them die now, I think it's worth it.

At this moment, they both thought of their younger brothers and sisters. It would be great if they could also eat such food. They wondered how they were doing now.

"Let's go to town together tomorrow."

After dinner, Xiao Ying said casually.

"Mom, can we go too?"

Chen Xingyun's eyes were filled with excitement. In her entire life, she had actually only been to the town a few times.

"Well, we have a lot to do tomorrow."

Xiao Ying didn't elaborate, but he had already made plans in his mind.

The brother and sister looked at each other and showed some joy. They no longer thought too much about it. They just wanted to follow their mother.

That night, Xiao Ying still entered the space. She had to hurry up to improve her strength, as the first level of Qi Refining was still too weak.

According to the current progress, if you practice for eight hours every night (four hours in the outside world), and use spiritual spring water, spiritual rice and other assistance, you will be able to enter the second level of Qi Refining in about seven or eight days.

The first three levels are also called the initial stage of Qi Refining, and can basically be achieved successfully through accumulation.

There is a small bottleneck between the third and fourth levels of Qi Refining, which is also the dividing line between the early and middle stages of Qi Refining. The speed may be slower at that time.

Once you enter the second level of Qi Refining, you can start learning spells. These things are easy for Xiao Yingying.

She worked for an hour, harvesting all the remaining spiritual rice and piling them in the wooden house. She only meditated and practiced after she had exhausted her spiritual power.

One benefit of this is that it will increase the amount of spiritual power that can be accommodated, and it is also a form of cultivation.

The field after the rice was harvested naturally could not be left empty, so she planned to wait until tomorrow night to deal with it.

At that time, you can directly burn the straw as fertilizer and sow the seeds for planting again.

The next morning, Xiao Ying returned outside.

She thought she had come out early enough, but she didn't expect Chen Xingyun to have already prepared breakfast.

After dinner, the three of them prepared to set off. They even changed into cleaner clothes, but they were still worn out.

Xiao Ying carried a large backpack and placed the sika deer in it.

The immortal palace was filled with rich spiritual energy, which had a preservative effect. Therefore, even after a night, the sika deer still looked like it had just died.

"Mom, let me carry it."

Chen Xinghai volunteered, as he was the only male in the family.

"No, just carry this."

Xiao Ying was really afraid that he would be crushed, as this sika deer was quite heavy.

She handed a basket to Chen Xinghai. There was a piece of cloth under the basket, and a black box was placed inside. The box was covered with another piece of cloth.

The brother and sister didn't ask what was in the box, but they could guess that it must be something good.

"Okay, mother."

Chen Xinghai carried the basket like a baby, feeling a little excited.

When the three of them reached the village entrance, an oxcart going to the town was already waiting there.

The driver was called Zhao Qing, who was about the same age as Xiao Ying. He was rather dull and quiet, but he was a very good driver.

Hongye Town only has a market on even-numbered days. Whenever there is a market, the town becomes very lively, especially during the leisure time.

Therefore, Zhao Qing's business is pretty good.

A one-way trip costs only two cents, which is affordable for most people. After all, if you rely on your own two feet, it will take more than an hour to walk there.

Xiao Ying naturally would not be stingy with the money, so he gave eight cents, and three people plus a deer all sat on it.

There were already four or five people on the ox cart, and with the three of them included, it was almost full. Zhao Qing didn't wait any longer and set off directly.

If you are fast, you can make another trip.

As soon as Xiao Ying got on the car, she closed her eyes to avoid being nagged by the other people. Seeing her like that, they could only stop thinking about it. However, some people were still talking quietly and looking at the sika deer from time to time.

An oxcart is far from comfortable. Xiao Ying thought about buying a horse carriage when he had enough money so that he could go anywhere conveniently.

The morning breeze, filled with the fragrance of green grass, blew towards her face. She took a few deep breaths and felt refreshed.

Feeling the faint spiritual energy in the air, she suddenly had a question: Are there monks in this world?

But even if there is, the strength will definitely not be that strong, because the spiritual energy limits the upper limit.

Therefore, she was not too worried. She had an immortal palace, which put her ahead of everyone else.

The ox cart swayed and moved for less than half an hour before arriving at Hongye Town.

Zhao Qing stopped outside the entrance, waited for everyone to get off the car, and then immediately turned around to pick up the second wave.

"Let's go to the pharmacy first."

Xiao Ying carried a backpack and took the two of them into the town.

There are two relatively large pharmacies in the town. Xiao Ying didn't know which one was better, so he went to the first one he came across.

This pharmacy is called Renxin Pharmacy. It specializes in medicinal materials. The shop is very large and there are four or five clerks in it.

Seeing that the three men were dressed in tattered clothes, they didn't want to pay any attention to them. However, when they saw the sika deer in Xiao Ying's backpack, their eyes lit up and they rushed over.

In the end, it was snatched away by the oldest one.

The waiter, who was in his early twenties, smiled broadly. "Are you selling this sika deer, ma'am? You've come to the right place."

"If you sell it to a butcher for meat, it won't be worth much. But here, the antlers alone are worth at least ten taels of silver."

Xiao Ying put down the backpack, picked up the sika deer and placed it on the ground.

The guy was stunned and his eyes changed slightly. He didn't expect that this lady was so strong that she could lift a sika deer weighing more than 100 pounds with one hand.

He examined the sika deer carefully and became more and more satisfied the more he looked at it.

The sika deer was injured on its hind legs and neck, but the rest of its skin was intact. This skin is worth a lot of money.

The antlers are growing very well, and I estimate they weigh about three pounds.

"Auntie, please sell the whole thing to our pharmacy. How about this price?"

He held up two fingers, representing twenty taels of silver.

Xiao Ying said nothing, but Chen Xinghai and his sister were very excited. They didn't expect that the sika deer was so valuable.

With this money, my mother can pay off her gambling debts and will never be harassed by those thugs from the gambling house again.

"Auntie, this price is not low. How about I calculate it carefully for you?"

Seeing that Xiao Ying was indifferent, the guy became a little anxious.

"Your sika deer weighs about 150 jin (approximately 20 wen) per jin (approximately 20 wen) for the meat and bones, which makes three liang (approximately 100 jin) of silver."

"This skin is well preserved. I'll give you 800 coins. And the deer whip, about 500 coins."

"The most valuable item is this pair of deer antlers, which weighs about three pounds. We buy them at 500 wen per liang, so that's 15 liang of silver."

"All this adds up to less than twenty taels. No matter where you go, the price won't be higher than this."

The guy was also counting on his fingers. After listening to him, Xiao Ying felt that it was about the same and the other party did not deliberately lower the price, so he nodded.

The guy was immediately delighted: "Then it's settled. I'll go get the money for you."

"No rush."

Xiao Ying suddenly spoke, took the basket from Chen Xinghai, and opened the box.

"Look at this again."

The man's eyes suddenly lit up and he was delighted. In the box lay a ginseng of perfect quality, which looked to be at least fifty years old!
