Chapter 75 I Don't Want to Be a Kept Man

Bo Yiyan and Hongyuan were both very curious about what method Xi'er would use to make money, but she kept her mouth shut the whole way and refused to reveal a single thing.

After the flying boat finally arrived at Star-Picking City, Xi'er found a local guide who led them to the city's mission hall for cultivators.

"Heh, I thought you had some good ideas, but it turns out you've just come to the mission hall." Hong Yuan sneered.

"My mother once said that if you want to settle down in a strange place, you should go to a talent exchange center."

There's definitely no talent exchange center here, so we should come to this mission hall.

"Only in places like this can you find opportunities to make money," Xi'er said confidently.

Bo Yiyan's lips curled up. Although this girl's method wasn't particularly good, it at least proved that she had the ability to survive independently.

Since he was accompanying her through this experience, he naturally remained silent, observing from the sidelines and watching how she would choose.

He would only lend a helping hand when she needed it.

Xi'er stood in the mission hall, patiently watching the scrolling messages on the recording stone.

This is the cultivation interface. Although it doesn't have the large electronic screens of the technological world, the scrolling information on these memory stones is still very convenient.

In the cultivation interface, the tasks posted in the task hall are nothing more than requests to purchase demonic beasts, old spiritual herbs, special refining materials, and so on.

Suddenly, Xi'er saw a purchase request—

Seeking spider silk from the Giant Spider on the Cliffside. Price: five high-grade spirit stones per foot. The more the better!

"Uncle Bo, look, look! We can make a small fortune!" Xi'er pointed to the purchase request and said excitedly.

“I didn’t expect that it would be so rare and valuable here, since nobody in Jiyang Town recognized its worth.” Bo Yiyan nodded.

When he killed the giant spider on the cliff, he didn't even notice the broken spider silk. It was Xi'er who insisted on collecting the spider silk, adhering to the principle of diligence and thrift.

Unexpectedly, those worthless junk items in his eyes would be worth so much in Star City.

With the first piece of information that could make money, Xi'er's confidence soared, and she continued to carefully read through each piece of information one by one.

About fifteen minutes later, just as she was about to lose patience and decide to leave to complete the spider silk transaction, she suddenly saw another message—

Looking to purchase spirit wine, graded as low, medium, high, and top, with corresponding prices of 500 spirit stones per jin for each grade: low, medium, high, and top.

"This, this, Uncle Bo, let's make wine!" Xi'er said excitedly.

She remembered her mother saying that back on Algae Star, her mother earned a lot of silver coins by brewing rice wine.

Her mother had told her about the brewing method. In the Misty Heaven Realm, she had tried it with spirit rice out of curiosity.

Unexpectedly, she had excellent comprehension and succeeded on her first attempt, brewing spirit rice wine.

Although the quality was only of the lowest grade, it was only the first time, and she was only four and a half years old at the time!

Over the years on the Dust Continent, due to the scarcity of resources and the relative difficulty of cultivation, she had not been willing to use the harvested rice and wheat to brew wine.

But now that she's in Yunyuan Shangjing, she had already inquired in Jiyang Town and found that there was no shortage of spirit rice and spirit wheat here; as long as you had money, you could buy them.

Having found two useful pieces of information, Xi'er was greatly encouraged.

Hong Yuan couldn't help but look at her with new respect. In his mind, most human females were delicate and charming.

Even female cultivators mostly rely on their fathers, brothers, and husbands to provide cultivation resources.

Unexpectedly, this human girl who dared to confess her feelings to him and was reluctantly accepted by him was so capable that she could find ways to earn spirit stones on her own!

Hongyuan felt that he had to work hard, otherwise he might be ridiculed in the future as a male who lived off a woman.

He doesn't want to be a gigolo, okay?

So, Hongyuan also started to stare at the information on the task bar.

Just as Xi'er accepted these two tasks and was preparing to complete the spider silk transaction first, and then go to the market to buy spirit rice and spirit wheat to brew wine, Hong Yuan finally discovered a piece of information—

Looking for a formation master to team up with to break the entrance formation of a small secret realm. Once you successfully enter the small secret realm, you can enjoy 30% of the rewards within.

“Xi’er, I want to take that mission!” Hong Yuan said, pointing to the message.

"What? Do you know about formations?" Xi'er asked.

“I don’t understand, but besides being able to tear through space, I can also freely pass through any barrier. The so-called array is nothing more than using some special method to create a barrier that can prevent people from entering or leaving,” Hong Yuan said.

“What you said seems to make a lot of sense, but you can get in, but others can’t!” Xi’er said.

“I can bring one person in,” Hong Yuan said, raising his head.

Xi'er: Is this even possible?

She suddenly realized that the little guy she had casually rescued was actually quite an extraordinary little guy.

Of course, if she knew that the little guy had already accepted her as his chosen female partner, she would jump for joy.

Having accepted three tasks at once, Xi'er decided to stop browsing.

You have to eat one bite at a time, and you can only earn money one bite at a time. Greed will never end well.

First, she went to complete the spider silk transaction.

The buyer received a notification from the staff in the mission hall and arrived fifteen minutes later.

The buyer and seller were led by staff into a private room with excellent privacy, where the transaction would not be observed by anyone.

Xi'er took out two-thirds of the spider silk at once, and she wanted to keep the rest for later use.

Even if it's only two-thirds, it's still over a hundred feet long, and the spider silk she obtained was from an adult female spider, of extremely high quality.

The buyer was very satisfied and settled the bill for her with 1800 high-grade spirit stones.

Because of this result, Xi'er decided that from now on, she would collect all kinds of spoils of war.

Getting rich starts with accumulating wealth little by little.

After obtaining so many spirit stones, she immediately went to the market and bought high-quality spirit rice and spirit wheat.

She has many recipes for brewing wine. Her mother taught her how to brew rice wine, and she succeeded on her first try.

Then Panda searched for many winemaking methods for her. Panda is a biology expert and has a habit of collecting all kinds of information related to plants and animals.

In his view, brewing is a qualitative change produced by yeast acting on plants, which falls under the category of biology.

Xi'er decided to try brewing the two wines with the most beautiful names first—Daughter Red and Bamboo Leaf Green.

Daughter Red is brewed from rice, while Bamboo Leaf Green is brewed from wheat. She has both of these recipes, but now she has simply replaced them with spirit rice and spirit wheat.

As for whether it can be successfully brewed?

The word "failure" doesn't exist in Xi'er's dictionary!
