There weren't many people coming and going at the time, and everyone cast curious glances at the two unfamiliar people who came in.
A female cultivator approached and asked, "What would you two like to buy?"
Qing Xuanzi said, "We would like to exchange some talisman paper. Does anyone know who is in charge of the exchange?"
The female cultivator pointed to a middle-aged man behind the counter and said with a smile, "That's Senior Brother Zhang Yan, who's in charge of exchanging items. You can go find him."
Qing Xuanzi nodded and led Rong Jiaojiao toward the counter.
When Zhang Yan saw them approaching, he smiled kindly and asked, "What would you two like to exchange for?"
Qing Xuanzi took out the pills and talismans refined by Rong Jiaojiao and placed them on the counter: "How many high-grade talisman papers can these be exchanged for?"
When Zhang Yan saw the bottles of pills and the large pile of talismans, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Do we have to replace all of these?"
Qing Xuanzi nodded: "We want to exchange all of them. In addition, we have two spiritual herbs that we would like to exchange for top-grade talisman paper."
After inspecting the items one by one, Zhang Yan said, "Three thousand high-grade talismans and one hundred and twenty top-grade talisman papers."
Qing Xuanzi slowly calculated the conversion and felt it was fairly fair, so he nodded in agreement to the conversion.
Zhang Yan took out a large box from behind the counter. When he opened it, stacks of talisman paper were neatly arranged inside, emitting faint spiritual energy fluctuations.
He took out three thousand high-grade talisman papers and one hundred and twenty top-grade talisman papers and handed them to Qing Xuanzi: "These are the talisman papers you requested. Each one has been carefully made and the quality is guaranteed."
Qing Xuanzi took the talisman, examined it carefully, and nodded: "Not bad, the quality is indeed very good. Thank you."
Zhang Yan smiled, returned the same number of jade bottles to Qing Xuanzi, and said, "You're welcome. Welcome to come again next time."
Qing Xuanzi told Rong Jiaojiao to put the talisman away, and then said to her, "You can look around and see if there's anything you need."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded and started walking around the shop. After looking around, she found that it was full of pills and talismans, all of which had clearly marked prices.
However, there are two prices: one is spirit stones, and the other is secular paper money, but the price of paper money is ridiculously high.
A low-grade fasting pill costs twenty yuan, and a low-grade vital energy cultivation pill costs three thousand yuan...
A well-processed century-old ginseng costs 12,000 yuan...
Rong Jiaojiao suddenly realized that becoming a rich woman couldn't be easier.
However, she still felt she should exchange some money for tickets, otherwise it would be really inconvenient to go anywhere.
He sent a telepathic message to Qing Xuanzi, who asked him to pluck a hundred-year-old ginseng, which he would then exchange for.
Rong Jiaojiao followed his instructions, processed the ginseng within the small secret realm using her divine sense, and handed it to Qing Xuanzi.
After taking the century-old ginseng from Rong Jiaojiao, Qing Xuanzi walked to the counter and said to Zhang Yan, "Fellow Daoist, could you please tell me how much banknotes this century-old ginseng can be exchanged for?"
Zhang Yan took the ginseng, examined it carefully, and said, "This is a high-quality, century-old ginseng. According to our exchange rate, it can be exchanged for 11,000 yuan in banknotes."
When Rong Jiaojiao heard the number, she was a little disappointed. She felt that her ginseng was much better than what they had displayed.
Qing Xuanzi smiled and said, "Add some more, and also give some nationally valid grain coupons, meat coupons, etc."
Zhang Yan was somewhat speechless, but seeing that he seemed ready to take the ginseng back at any moment, he thought for a moment and added a little more: "Fellow Daoist, national grain coupons are not very common now, but considering that the things you brought are of good quality, I can add another two thousand yuan in paper money, and also give you one hundred catties of nationally valid grain coupons and twenty catties of meat coupons, how about it?"
Qing Xuanzi felt that was enough, so he nodded and said, "Okay, that's all for now."
Zhang Yan took out thirteen stacks of money and an envelope from the counter drawer and handed them to Qing Xuanzi: "This is thirteen thousand coins, one hundred catties of grain coupons, and twenty catties of meat coupons. Fellow Daoist, please count them."
Qing Xuanzi took the envelope and money, scanned it with his divine sense, and handed it to Rong Jiaojiao: "Jiaojiao, this is your money and food coupons, keep it safe."
Rong Jiaojiao said, "Master, I don't need that much. You can have half and I'll have half."
After taking a stack of money, Qing Xuanzi said, "Keep the rest. This will last me a long time."
Rong Jiaojiao then waved her hand to put away the money and tickets. Seeing that everything was alright, Qing Xuanzi left with Rong Jiaojiao.
After returning home, Qing Xuanzi sought help again and bought Rong Jiaojiao a train ticket to Taiyuan County.
When I returned, I handed Rong Jiaojiao a letter of introduction and a train ticket to her.
Upon seeing that it was a sleeper berth, Rong Jiaojiao asked, "Did you have someone buy it for you, Master?"
Qing Xuanzi nodded: "After that, you won't be able to buy sleeper tickets anymore, so be careful when you travel."
"I know, Master!"
"Well, there are still two days left, so you can stay here and have some fun."
"OK!"
Thinking that Qing Xuanzi's injuries were almost healed, she wondered if he would still be stationed here after he recovered, so she asked.
Qing Xuanzi said, "We need to stay here for at least another year."
Rong Jiaojiao pursed her lips and asked with some worry, "Master, after you recover, will you still have to go to the Demon Sealing Array?"
"Maybe, we'll see how the sect arranges it then."
Rong Jiaojiao said, "Master, tell me before you go back, and I will give you all the talismans I made."
Seeing her worried expression, Qing Xuanzi's heart softened, and he smiled and said, "Alright, I'll tell you!"
Rong Jiaojiao then smiled and said, "Master, I want to drink your chicken soup."
Qing Xuanzi chuckled: "Have you finished eating the cooked food we made earlier?"
Rong Jiaojiao nodded: "Master is really amazing, you guessed it right away. We've finished what you made, but I made some too."
"It's not convenient to do much here, so you'll have to do it yourself from now on."
"It's alright, Master. I can cook anywhere. I'll leave all the cooked food for you later. I'll cook whenever I want to eat it."
Qing Xuanzi waved his hand: "Keep it for yourself, I don't want to bother anyone."
"Then, shall I leave the fasting pill with you?"
"Okay, you can keep some of this."
Upon hearing his agreement, Rong Jiaojiao immediately took out ten jade bottles and handed them to Qing Xuanzi: "Master, here are ten bottles of fasting pills. These are the best quality ones I've selected. Please keep them safe."
Then he took out other pills, two bottles of each, and said, “Master, these are the best quality healing pills and other pills that I have refined. You can keep them. Even if you don’t need them yourself, you can sell them.”
Qing Xuanzi said with a kind expression, "You can leave yourself enough for your own use."
"I'll keep it, Master, please put it away quickly."
Qing Xuanzi then carefully put away the pill. Although it was of a low grade and he might not need it, it was his disciple's filial piety, so he naturally accepted it.
His face lit up with a smile: "I'm enjoying the good fortune of having a disciple!"
Rong Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Master, you've been so good to me, of course I have to repay you."
"Alright, come on, Master will make you some chicken soup!"
"OK!"
Over the next two days, Qing Xuanzi prepared various delicious meals for his disciple. The aroma attracted the others who were not on missions. In just two days, he got them to put down their cultivation whenever it was time to eat.
