The 10 spirit stones from the trade were insignificant.

Each month, simply by selling the Golden Light Talismans and Fire Spirit Talismans purchased at cost price, one can earn a large sum of spirit stones.

But this was necessary, as trading was the most dangerous activity, and the three of them had already experienced it.

Fairy Girl—

As a Tier 1, Level 9 Talisman Master, one can earn at least 1,000 spirit stones for the market each month and receive half of the profits.

The market provides them with ten reams of talisman paper and ten bottles of talisman ink every month.

Equip it with a top-tier first-order rune pen.

If you plan to learn second-tier talismans, the market will fund the purchase of the necessary talisman paper, ink, brush, and book. If you fail to draw a single second-tier talisman within six months, half of the investment will be refunded. The training slots also require confirmation from three people.

"Fishing?" the fairy asked.

Jiang Xiaoyue had already thought about it, and said:

"Fish are a resource of the market, and no one is allowed to catch them privately. Every time we catch fish, we will buy a Thunder Talisman from Xian'er at the market price. If there are other methods in the future, we can also use spirit stones."

“Each of us must fish once a month, and only once. Of the spirit stones we sell, each of us gets 10%, and the remaining 70% goes to the market.”

As for the spirit stones in the market, they are used to purchase magic arrays, spirit contracts, train craftsmen, and so on.

The three of them receive a bottle of Qi Nourishing Pills every month, also paid for by the market—and upon advancing to the late stage of Qi Refining, they receive Qi Condensation Pills.

In addition, the standard robes and ritual implements also represent an expense.

When the market becomes wealthy in the future, it will gradually open shops and purchase flying boats.

As for food, training methods, and so on, they would pay for them themselves.

Ultimately, only one question remains—

"What should we do about Senior Shui Zhongyue?" Xu Ni asked in a low voice.

It's difficult to arrange.

They are in the Qi Refining stage, so it's impossible to assign tasks to Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. Since she doesn't do tasks, giving her spirit stones would be a waste.

"Xian'er, why don't you go and ask?" Jiang Xiaoyue whispered.

Don't be fooled by her eloquent speech in front of Shen Xian'er and Xu Ni; that's because they are her friends. In essence, she is still just a "mud seller" and wouldn't dare to knock on the door of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

Shenxian'er was also a young girl, and she dared not do the same, but she had a tree branch at her waist, which gave her unparalleled confidence.

Even Shui Zhongyue dared not underestimate her.

The fairy nodded: "I'll go ask."

She wasn't too afraid; she knocked on the young mistress's door every day.

Under their watchful eyes, she arrived at the Water Moon Cave, gripping a tree branch with her left hand and nervously touching the array with her right.

The rich blue light shone through the curtains, which were usually open.

"Come in."

Shenxian glanced back at the two men, who were encouraging her. She gritted her teeth and crawled into the cave.

She came out soon after.

"What do you mean?" the two asked quickly.

"Senior Shui said she doesn't want spirit stones unless she opens up a profitable channel or entrusts us to sell supplies, with the profit sharing calculated according to our agreement."

"That's good, that's good." Jiang Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wasn't she told anything about obligations? She did use the stone tablet of a divine senior." Xu Ni was slightly unwilling.

"I...I didn't dare mention it," Shenxian'er stammered in reply.

“That’s fine,” Jiang Xiaoyue nodded with satisfaction. “We can talk about the volunteer work when we reach the Foundation Establishment stage. This will also encourage us to seize the time to cultivate.”

“Then let’s begin our cultivation!” Xu Ni said.

Everyone had just received Qi-Nourishing Pills, and with the abundant spiritual energy in the cave, everyone naturally had to put in some effort.

Jiang Xiaoyue hesitated for a moment, then said apologetically, "I have to find a way to bring Xiao Mei over. Leaving her at the Lake Mingfang Inn is a waste of spirit crystals, and I'm not at ease with her."

“I’ll go with you,” said the fairy. “Little Sheep saved me.”

"Then I'll go too!" Xu Ni quickly said. "What if the vengeful ghost comes after us if you all leave!"

The fairy asked curiously, "Isn't Senior Moon in the Water here?"

Xu Ni said in a voice as soft as a mouse, "What if... what if the senior goes into seclusion and doesn't care about anything?"

After discussing it, the three decided to catch fish again and fill all three storage bags.

The scaled carp that were stunned by the Thunder Note yesterday have all woken up, so I had to use another Thunder Note.

Afterwards, the spirit stones will be given to Shenxian'er at the market price.

In addition, they discovered that some of the fish had been broken into rotten flesh, which was shrouded in a sinister, ghostly aura.

"It's a vengeful ghost!" Shen Xian'er immediately recognized the aura.

"It seems she hasn't left; she's still nearby," Jiang Xiaoyue said in a deep voice.

"I hope she goes to the cave and gets killed by Senior Shui with a single palm strike!" Xu Ni was both hateful and a little afraid.

The three of them rode on the Water King Lotus, carefully making their way to Lake Mingfang, which took half a day.

As soon as they entered the lake bay surrounded by two arms, law enforcement disciples approached them with a photo stone and questioned them.

"Never seen it before." The three shook their heads.

The enforcement disciple repeated himself: as long as there is news, one will receive full support from the seven major sects and will definitely advance to the Golden Core stage.

After the enforcement disciples left, Xu Ni whispered excitedly, "How was it? Did it look good?"

"Hmm..." Shenxian'er remained silent.

"Nizi, aren't you going to become a nun?" Jiang Xiaoyue teased.

"I'm asking you! Would you want me as your husband?!" Xu Ni shouted.

Neither of them spoke.

"Tch, don't be shy. I sold some fish today, so I bought a photo stone to secretly watch tonight."

"Keep your voice down," Jiang Xiaoyue continued teasingly.

Shenxian'er didn't react for a moment, but then she suddenly remembered the story from last night and knew what Xu Ni was going to do.

this......

[This!] Li Changzhou himself was speechless and decided to keep a close eye on Xu Ni tonight and make sure she didn't do anything reckless.
