It looks expensive, but it is indeed the lowest price.
If these Qian Yuan Grasses were priced normally in Wanbaoge, each one would sell for at least 200 taels of silver.
However, at this time, Shang Yanting's entire property, including the eight hundred taels lost by the head steward, amounted to a total of nine hundred taels of silver.
As the saying goes, even a hero can be brought down by a penny.
Shang Yanting silently turned to look at Jia Xitong.
Who would have thought that the system would be even fatter than the host? ︿(￣︶￣)︿
Jia Xitong took out several hundred-tael silver notes from his pocket.
She had more than just silver; after returning a month's worth of talismans to the true system, she had also accumulated a small sum.
Among them are 22 Zhuyou talismans, 45 Explosion talismans, 8 Solidification talismans, and 9 Mixu talismans (2 of which are newly drawn).
In addition, there are still 20,000 sheets of cinnabar paper left unused. If it weren't for the fact that her passive cultivation time has increased recently, she might have been able to draw even more.
The Qian Yuan grass is placed in Wanbaoge. The manager will find someone to make ink for it, and we can pick it up in half a month.
However, Shang Yanting was now completely penniless.
Following her senior brother's advice, Jia Xitong prepared the best insect repellent powder for him. There was no need for wound medicine; nothing beats the effectiveness of a talisman.
Jia Xitong refused the boss's enthusiastic sales pitch, but suddenly remembered that the Zhuyou talisman could not cure colds and typhoid fever.
She also prescribed typhoid medicine.
It might rain in the wild, and the giant raincoat is now soaring high on the wall...
We also need to buy raincoats and umbrellas.
There are also thick cotton-padded coats for keeping warm.
Thinking that her fellow students were stingy and poor and probably couldn't afford it, she generously placed an order for 20 people.
You still need to cook outdoors... You need pots, bowls, ladles, basins, and seasonings too.
The impoverished host and his extravagant fake system went on a shopping spree down a street.
Later, when nearby merchants saw them approaching, they proactively offered their goods and enthusiastically promoted them.
Among these enthusiastic merchants was even Wanbaoge!
The supplies piled up like a small mountain cost her nearly one hundred taels of silver.
"They actually spent so much money!"
Jia Xitong did the math and was a little shocked.
Shang Yanting glanced at them and said, "Return them all; the talisman won't fit."
"It can fit."
Shang Yanting paused, then picked up the raccoon with one hand. "How can you fit it in?"
"...You still have the talisman of the Buddha?"
Not only that.
Nine left!
Jia Xitong looked at him innocently.
Seeing her expression, Shang Yanting suddenly realized something, and his face turned cold.
That's true. Even a small animal, if it understands human nature, will have selfish desires.
What happens when you have selfish motives?
Desire will devour all emotions.
There are no eternal partners in this world; everyone will eventually betray each other for their own benefit!
His steps slowed, his breathing grew heavier, and his fists clenched silently. A thought that hadn't surfaced in a long time re-emerged in his mind—only inanimate objects are unwavering!
"Dear host, would you like a mount?"
Jia Xitong's attention was drawn to a monster that looked like a rhinoceros in the bustling city.
The monster had limbs as thick as an elephant, and its back was wide enough to fit a bamboo chair. It was tied to the fence with a hemp rope as thick as two fingers, and it was mooing.
Giant rock rhinoceros.
A relatively common type of Warcraft.
They are thick-skinned, have a large appetite, and move slowly; they are generally used for long-distance passenger and cargo transport.
"Don't you think it's really cool?"
Moreover, they are even bigger than the mounts of the aristocratic disciples I saw in Lianxin Pavilion!
Shang Yanting's fingers trembled slightly. "Why do you suddenly want to buy this?"
"Because what others have, the host must also have."
Jia Xitong hooked Shang Yanting's clothes with her raccoon paws and pulled him in front of the vendor, crossing her paws and looking expectantly at him.
Ever since being mistaken for a Saint-level contracted beast by the senior brothers of Qing Shuang Peak, Jia Xitong has never spoken in public to avoid being mistaken for a Saint-level contracted beast and causing unnecessary trouble. Everything is communicated within Shang Yanting's sea of consciousness, and he then inquires on her behalf.
Everything is expensive in the world of cultivation.
Even a tamed ordinary magical beast would cost at least seven hundred taels.
Suddenly her savings were emptied, and she went from being penniless to being penniless twice.
"You'll never need this; it's a waste of money."
Shang Yanting said, holding the reins.
"It's alright. If we run out of food in the future, we can use it as a reserve."
Jia Xitong touched the giant rhinoceros rock; it was indeed a huge piece of meat!
Puppets don't need to eat...
In an instant, he recalled the time he spent on the cliff.
A system notification sounded in my ear.
[Male lead's trust level decreased by 10, current trust level 55/100]
[Congratulations to the mission participant for gaining 12 trust points from the male lead. Current trust points: 67/100]
Jia Xitong: ... She's gotten used to these ups and downs.
##
afternoon
The disciples who had bought their purchases gathered together and saw the giant beast that Shang Yanting had brought back, and then... they were all dumbfounded.
"Holy crap!"
"This is... amazing!"
"It's good to be rich!"
The second senior brother turned his envious gaze to Jia Xitong, "Xitong, your senior brother would like to borrow a few hundred taels of silver from you."
Buy the same vehicle and then pay it off in installments over a lifetime.
"I have no money left."
Jia Xitong patted her newly bought mount, "I bought this for everything."
What?
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback for a moment.
My junior brother's giant beast was actually bought by Little Raccoon?
A contracted beast buys a mount for its master?
