【Chapter 79】Settling the family
【Chapter 79】Settling the family
After turning left and right and crossing several large rocks, Jun Han disappeared from everyone's sight. Nangong Suhao, who followed him, took a step forward and disappeared in front of everyone.
Seeing this, Ye Xian took two steps forward. The imagined scene of entering the market town did not appear, and he appeared ten steps away on the left.
Ye Yuncheng, who was about to move forward, silently withdrew his foot.
Ye Xian looked around and asked in confusion, "Why am I here?"
Nangong Chenyu's formation level is only level one or two. He could only see that the market town was shrouded in a formation, but he couldn't tell what kind of formation it was. However, he was not surprised at all that Ye Xian was unable to enter the market.
The formation of the market town is just like some secret realms. People who do not meet the requirements are not allowed to enter.
Just as he was about to step forward, he saw Jun Han coming out of the market.
After taking a look at the scene outside, Jun Han had an idea in his mind. Before, he had only heard that mortals could not enter the market, but he had never seen it with his own eyes.
"Everyone hold hands, I will lead you in."
Ye Yuncheng immediately reached out a hand and grabbed Jun Han's sleeve. He didn't dare to grab hands or anything like that. The other hand held Ye Xian who had just returned.
Then he said to Ye Yixin: "Little sister, you go in with Gefu and the others."
Ye Yixin stepped aside.
Ye Xian then grabbed Xiaoliu, and Xiaoliu grabbed Runan.
Under Jun Han's leadership, Ye Xian and his companions successfully entered the market town.
"Let's go in too!" As he said that, Nangong Chenyu pulled Ye Yishen to the entrance of the market town. Ye Yixin hurriedly grabbed her eldest brother's arm.
Everyone who enters the market must hand in ten low-grade spirit stones. Jun Han, who entered the market first, handed over everyone's spirit stones.
Before, when people walked on the streets of the city, they could not feel the gap between monks and mortals. Now that they have entered the market town, Ye Xian and the other mortals clearly feel that this place is out of place for them.
The things sold in shops of all sizes are all things used by monks. What people are selling on the roadside are no longer sesame cakes, candied haws, etc., but cultivation techniques, treasure maps, talismans, etc.
Although they were curious, everyone did not look around. They all followed Jun Han forward without looking around.
Soon, Jun Han brought a few people to a shop.
"Wait for me here."
After saying that, he walked into the shop in front of him.
After a few minutes, he came out of the shop again.
"Everyone follow me."
He walked to the closed shop next door, pressed the jade slip in his hand on the groove on the door, and explained to the others: "The function of this jade slip is to unlock the restriction on the door."
The door opened and a group of people walked into the store one after another.
The shop is divided into two parts. The front is the storefront where things can be sold, and the back has a small courtyard with six rooms for people to live in.
After everyone had finished looking, Jun Han asked, "Uncle Ye, what do you think of this place?"
Ye Xian nodded with satisfaction: "Very good."
"Then Uncle Ye, you will live here from now on. The manager of the market town lives next door. If you have any emergencies in the future, you can ask him for help." As he said that, Jun Han handed the jade slip for opening the door to Ye Xian.
Ye Xian took the jade slip and asked carefully, "How much is the rent here?"
Jun Han waved his hand: "You can live here peacefully, you don't have to pay rent."
"No, no, you've already helped us a lot, how can we still ask you to pay the rent for us?" Ye Xian winked at Ye Yisheng.
Ye Yisheng took over the conversation: "Brother Jun, please tell me how much rent you need first. If I don't have enough spirit stones, I can only owe you the money first, and I will give it to you when I have more spirit stones."
Jun Han really doesn’t need these few spirit stones, but the Ye family obviously doesn’t want to owe him anything. He reported a number: "Two hundred low-grade spirit stones a month, just give me one month first."
He was afraid that he would ask for too much, and Ye Yisheng didn't have enough spirit stones.
The minimum lease term for shops in the market is ten years.
The original rental price was four hundred low-grade spirit stones per month, but he rented it using the identity of a direct disciple and the price was halved.
Ye Yisheng silently counted the spiritual stones in his space ring and said, "Brother Jun, I will give you one year's rent first. When I have enough money, I will give you the rest."
He didn't ask Jun Han how many years he had rented the house, and he probably wouldn't tell him even if he asked. This is a shop specially rented out to monks, so I guess the minimum rental period is quite high.
After all, a monk could go into seclusion for several years or even decades. When he has spirit stones in his hand, he will go and ask the manager next door.
In order to make Ye Xian's family live in peace, Jun Han did not refuse the spirit stones given by Ye Yishen.
"Stay here for one night first. I'll take you to Yunjue Palace tomorrow." Jun Han said to Nangong Chenyu and the other two, then looked at Ye Xian and the others: "Uncle Ye, see if you guys need anything else. Make a list. I'll go to Moshi City later."
After a pause, he continued, "You guys pack up first, I'll take Su Hao to visit the market."
Ye Xian: "Okay, thank you for your help along the way."
Jun Han took Nangong Suhao out of the shop, and the rest of the people went to the small courtyard at the back.
There are six rooms, except for one which is the alchemy room, all the others can be lived in. The area of each room is about the same. Ye Xian and his four sons each have one room, and Xiaoliu and Runan share a room.
Ye Yishen went to the rooms of several people one by one and took out the valuables that they had packed in Ye Mansion from the space ring.
When he came, Ye Xian also packed a set of cooking utensils. They also brought a lot of food, enough for several people to eat for one or two years.
There were no stoves in the houses here, so Nangong Chenyu used magic to build one in the yard. After he finished building the stove, he remembered that he needed firewood to cook.
However, houses like this with shops attached to each other are not suitable for burning firewood.
Nangong Chenyu went to a restaurant not far away. After asking around, I found out that they use a kind of smokeless charcoal to cook. So he spent spirit stones to buy some.
Seeing him coming back, Nangong Suhao asked, "Xiao Yu, you're back just in time. Did you find out what kind of firewood people here use to cook?"
"Yes, I bought some back." As he said that, Nangong Chenyu took out a wooden frame, which was filled with red charcoal.
Nangong Suhao: "Jun Han and I bought some spiritual rice. We will eat spiritual rice for lunch today."
Xiaoliu weakly interjected, "Well, Master, Young Master Nangong, we don't know how to cook."
The Ye Mansion has special chefs who are responsible for taking care of the eldest young master's daily life. I learned how to read and do accounting from the eldest master, but I didn't learn how to cook.
Nangong Suhao asked in confusion: "Then what is Uncle Ye doing with all the extra food here?"
Ye Xian: “…I can do it.”
When he was a child, he was taught by Old Lady Ye how to do everything from washing clothes to cooking and housework.
Nangong Chenyu stroked his chin and made arrangements: "Today's lunch will be given to my eldest brother and father-in-law. Xiaoliu and Runan will help out and learn how to cook at the same time."
Although they can take fasting pills, Ye Yixin and Ye Yuncheng are only thirteen years old, so it is better for them to eat more grains.
Nangong Suhao patted Nangong Chenyu on the shoulder and gave him a look that said "you're awesome" for even daring to make arrangements for his father-in-law.
"Okay." Ye Xian agreed readily.
An hour later, eight dishes and a soup were served on the table.
Looking at the delicious dishes, Nangong Chenyu took a bite and couldn't help but give Ye Xian a thumbs up: "My father-in-law's cooking skills are comparable to the chefs in the Ye Mansion."
“I was the one who taught the chef in the mansion how to cook.” Ye Xian said proudly.
Nangong Suhao couldn't help but praise: "Uncle Ye is really amazing!"
He had wanted to cook a few dishes just now, but after Ye Xian cooked the first dish, he knew that his cooking skills were not up to par and he didn't dare to show off. He was afraid that no one would eat what he cooked.
"Father, your cooking skills are so good, why didn't you cook for us before?" Ye Yuncheng asked.
Ye Xian said angrily: "You little bastard, do you want to tire your father to death so that you can inherit my inheritance?"
Ye Yuncheng quickly begged for mercy: "How dare I, I hope you live a long life."
Ye Yixin corrected him, "Living a hundred years is not enough. You have to live a thousand years, ten thousand years, or even longer."
Ye Yuncheng: "I suddenly thought of the Ten Thousand Year Turtle."
Ye Xian's face was full of black lines.
"Second brother, eat more vegetables and talk less." Ye Yixin picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and gave it to Ye Yuncheng.
Ye Yisheng changed the subject: "It is indeed magical rice. It tastes better than ordinary rice."
Jun Han: "We bought low-grade spiritual rice, which is suitable for ordinary people to eat. We also have high-grade spiritual rice, black rice, yellow rice, etc., which are specially for monks to eat."
Everyone ate and chatted.
A quarter of an hour later, the nine people had eaten up all the food on the table.
After Xiaoliu and Runan had packed up, Nangong Chenyu told them the mantra for drawing Qi into the body, and also transmitted to them a set of mental methods that were compatible with any cultivation method.
Afterwards, Ye Yuncheng and a few others stayed in the house and tried to draw the qi into their bodies. Ye Xian watched them, while Nangong Chenyu, Ye Yishen, Jun Han and Nangong Suhao went shopping in the market.
Passing by a shop that collects monster materials, Nangong Chenyu suddenly remembered something: "I have some monster materials to sell."
Jun Han looked at the name of the shop, Xu Family Magical Instruments, which purchased various refining materials.
The Xu family is a family of weapon refiners.
"You can go in and ask first."
When they walked into the store, Ye Yishen and Nangong Suhao were immediately attracted by the display cabinets in the store. There were all kinds of magical instruments placed in the display cabinet.
Immediately, a waiter came forward and called out, "What kind of magical instruments do you want to buy, fellow Taoists?"
"I have monster materials to sell." Nangong Chenyu said.
"Please follow me, fellow Taoist." The waiter took the few people to the backyard and notified the store manager.
The backyard seemed small, but when the four of them walked in, they found that it was as big as a football field.
When the steward appeared, Nangong Chenyu took out the skin of one of the ice bear armors.
The steward came forward to take a look, and then quoted a price: "Three hundred low-grade spirit stones."
Nangong Chenyu didn’t know the price of Lingyuan Continent, so he looked at Jun Han, hoping he could give some advice.
Jun Han had never sold anything outside before, so he didn't know whether the price offered by the manager was appropriate. In the past, he would bring back the monster materials he hunted when he went out and exchange them for contribution points at Yunjue Palace.
"The skin of this ice bear armor is not damaged at all." The implication is that three hundred is too little.
"How much do you think is appropriate, fellow Taoist?" the steward asked with a smile.
Jun Han: “…”
Seeing that Jun Han didn’t know the price either, Nangong Chenyu put away the ice bear armor skin. He winked at the three of them and said, "Let's go."
The manager was a little dumbfounded.
It was the first time he encountered a monk who did not follow the routine.
"Don't leave yet." He walked quickly to the four people and made a five gesture: "This is the maximum. Although the Ice Bear Armor is rare, it is only level 2. I dare say other stores will not offer a higher price than mine."
Two hundred more in a flash.
Nangong Chenyu took out the skins of the three ice bear armors.
The steward's mouth twitched slightly, it seemed that the ice bear armor skin he took out earlier was just a test.
He looked at Nangong Chenyu with a smile: "Daoyou, if you have other monster materials, I guarantee that the price will be fair."
Nangong Chenyu waved his hand, and a pile of monster materials appeared on the open ground: "If you offer a fair price, I will keep them all."
The steward immediately went forward to check.
He quoted the same price for the same product.
Nangong Chenyu took note of it silently in his heart.
After checking, the manager quoted the total price: "All the materials cost 14,830 low-grade spirit stones."
"Rounding off, just give me fifteen thousand." Nangong Chenyu said.
The manager hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, all the materials I calculated for you are already the highest price."
Ye Yisheng chimed in: "With so many materials, if all of them were refined into finished products, the price would definitely increase several times."
The steward said with a bitter face: "During the refining process, it is inevitable that some materials will be scrapped."
Ye Yisheng: "When you hand over the materials to the refiners, tell them that these materials were bought at a high price and ask them to be careful when making them. If you say this, it may increase their success rate."
The manager thought about it and realized that this was indeed possible.
"Okay, fifteen thousand is fifteen thousand."
After the two sides settled the money and goods, the steward began to promote his own magic tools: "You can go outside to take a look at the magic tools. The magic tools refined by my Xu family are of absolutely good quality. If there is any damage, we can help repair it for free."
Nangong Chenyu: “Then let’s take a look.”
