Chapter 120 Life is a series of ups and downs
On the bustling street, a little girl in a light purple dress nimbly jumped over a bamboo basket and ran into the crowd, followed by a long-haired cat that was also baring its teeth.
Ao Bai: "Why are there people handing out flyers everywhere?!"
Huali moved nimbly in a serpentine pattern, taking advantage of the confusion behind her to casually grab a mask from a nearby stall and pretend to examine it. "This is the wisdom of the working people. It can only be said that there are business opportunities everywhere in the immortal realm, and there is no end to learning."
Ao Bai narrowed his eyes, "You wouldn't be thinking of...?"
Once she realized the pursuers were far away, Huali shrugged. "It would take time, too." They'd already wasted several days on the road, and now there were only two days left before the selection of the scattered cultivators began.
"Little fairy, do you want these two? Each one is a mid-grade spirit stone."
Hua Li gasped. Are prices in Tianlan City really that high?
The vendor, seeing that the girl was well-dressed, assumed she was wealthy. However, to his surprise, she put down her things and turned to leave without hesitation after hearing his words, saying, "Well, I'll go get the spirit stones first and then we'll talk."
Those who know, know. Generally, the chances of getting a reply after saying this are zero, and the vendor immediately loses interest and becomes too lazy to respond.
However! Huali wasn't lying! She really did have something important to take care of when she entered the city ahead of schedule!
First, obtain the spirit stone.
Second, exchange spirit treasures for spirit stones!
Tianlan City within the Lingjian Sect and Fufeng City within the Buddhist Sect are both popular cities in the cultivation world, so both have offline stores of Xianbo.
She needed to quickly withdraw her 300,000 spirit stones.
When she handed over the Tata Beast in Fufeng City, the shop promised to pay the balance in three days, but she didn't expect it to be delayed until now.
How can you let your money sit in someone else's pocket? Holding it in your own hands is the only way to go!
Huali quickly found out the address of Xianbo's offline store and walked in knowing the way.
The cacophony of voices suddenly filled the air.
In the center of the Immortal Expo Hall, hundreds of semi-transparent portraits of cultivators were hanging, their figures lifelike. Hua Li immediately spotted the beautiful young lady from the Hehuan Sect.
Could this be a fan support event for their idol? Hua Li looked around, feeling both confused and impressed, and unexpectedly, she actually saw some familiar faces: Mo Ziyan, Tang Wanwan, and... Rong Xing.
Ao Bai exclaimed, "Why is there no one in the middle?"
Looking down the rosewood, one sees a scroll unfurled in the center, but it is completely blank.
"Fifty high-grade spirit stones to suppress Mo Ziyan of the Spirit Sword Sect!"
A crisp clinking sound echoed in the hall as the female cultivator slammed her gleaming Qiankun bag onto the long wooden table.
At the same time, the bell hanging under the beam moved automatically without wind, and a ray of blue light shone on the hanging Mo Ziyan scroll, and the female cultivator's name immediately appeared at the bottom of the scroll.
"Then you're definitely going to lose money. If you ask me, the winner of this secret realm will definitely be a demon. I've heard that the Demon King's cultivation has greatly increased and he has already reached the Tribulation Transcending stage."
Some disagreed, arguing that "the high cultivation level of the Demon King does not mean that the demons entering the secret realm this time are also capable."
"Don't forget, this time only Golden Core cultivators are allowed to enter the secret realm. Everyone else can only watch from the square using the water mirror."
"If you ask me, the Lingyin Sect won last time, and it will be similar this time. I'm betting on Bingyue."
"Bingyue of Lingyin Sect and Shao Siming of Hehuan Sect are the most popular candidates in this generation, as well as Zhanli, the heir of the Wu Clan, and Yuling, the young master of Tiangong Workshop. Just to be on the safe side, I'd better buy some stocks."
The female cultivator who spoke split the spirit stone into four, and her name was displayed simultaneously in the four portraits.
Huali finally understood.
It seems they're betting on who will win the Dream Realm event; these few are clearly the current favorites.
After understanding, Huali turned around and said, "We can talk about these things later. The most important thing is to get the spirit stones out first."
“You’re all wrong. The biggest dark horse this time should be that one.” One of them pointed to the blank scroll in the center.
"Last time, Canglan Prefecture was busy sealing the evil spirits in the Tianshan Mountains of the Northern Frontier and did not participate. But this time, I personally saw several heavenly horses flying from there."
"But that person..."
Everyone looked at each other, wondering who had the best chance of winning. But did anyone dare to bet spirit stones? Even the Immortal Expo only dared to use a blank cover, which was truly... indescribable.

As soon as Huali arrived at the second window to explain the reason, the young female clerk inside immediately nodded, "Yes, Tata Beast has a record of this. We owe you thirty high-grade spirit stones as the final payment."
Hua Li's eyes lit up and she immediately patted Qing Linzhui, "Did you hear that? I'll take you out for a nice meal later." She smiled and reached out her hand, "Then I'll take them all out now."
To everyone's surprise, the young female teller shook her head, flashing her perfect eight teeth, and said, "It can't be taken out."
Karin: "?"
"Customer, your credit score has dropped to a negative number. You won't be able to withdraw a single spirit stone until the score returns to normal."
Huali was taken aback. "Why? Didn't I hand over the Tata Beast on time?"
The teller waved with ease, and the water mirror in the window immediately displayed the back-end page.
“Fairy, look here. On the same day you delivered the Tata Beast, you accepted another task, but you failed to complete it within the time limit.”
Karin was startled, Karin hesitated, Karin vaguely remembered, and Karin was shocked!
After receiving twenty high-grade spirit stones, she was in a hurry to find an inn. It seems! Indeed! She had accepted a quest in the low-level quest section. But before she could even begin, Madam Xu's baby was lost.
She had just found Xiaobao when she ran into Lianzhuo, and this interruption made her completely forget about the mission.
a bolt from the blue!
Huali swayed, then tremblingly opened the Xianbo backend. Sure enough, a line of bright red characters was prominently displayed on the unfinished tasks list.
"Find the Mysterious Ginseng, and you will be rewarded with one hundred high-grade spirit stones."
Xuanming Ginseng! She had it in Qinglin's Treasure Vase!!!
Huali immediately turned her head, "Has anyone done this task yet? How did I manage to get my reputation points back?"
"No one has done it yet, but the publisher has automatically withdrawn it."
"You can choose to continue taking on other tasks to regain your reputation. If you are in a real hurry, we can try to contact the poster for you. If he agrees to reactivate the task, you can continue to complete it."
"One high-grade spirit stone for each contact."
She could tell the difference between one and thirty, so Huali handed over the spirit stones directly, "Contact them!"
The sound transmission array was activated the instant Huali finished speaking.
"Hello, this is the Tianlan City Xianbo branch. We found that the Cold Jade Bone Ginseng quest you posted has expired. The person who accepted the quest is right here. Do you still need it?"
A moment of silence followed, then a cold laugh, like shattered ice falling onto a jade plate, came from within the formation: "You have the nerve to ask the requester after failing the mission? Do you think Xuanming Ginseng is a radish from the ground?"
Huali immediately stuck her head out, "Isn't Xuanming Ginseng used for bone healing and wound repair? I also have lightning-struck wood as compensation, you—"
The other person's voice rose at the end, carrying a casual sharpness, "A fire poker as an apology?"
"By the time your meager grave is full of grass that's three meters long."
