Chapter 34 The Storage Ring Has Arrived
Gou Sheng, Zhang Qiang's number one henchman, followed Zhang Qiang's orders and began to lead his other henchmen to visit one brigade after another under the pretense of looking for relatives.
The Red Star Brigade was some distance from the commune, and they didn't know its name, so they could only inquire based on Zhang Qiang's description. If they came across someone who seemed similar, they would report to Zhang Qiang, who would then confirm it.
Because they hadn't found the Red Star Brigade yet, Ning Xuan and the others were unaware that trouble was on its way.
Ning Xuan was excitedly selecting novels at this moment.
That's right, Yunxi from the cultivation world has made a move again.
.
Yunxi never expected that the sketchbooks she bought would actually save her life.
After deciding to go on her training, Yunxi refused her master and senior brother's request to take her junior sister with her. She simply reported her departure at the sect's mission hall and left.
However, Yunxi did not expect that just a few days later, she would accidentally fall into a secret realm, and then in the secret realm, she would unexpectedly trigger a test of inheritance.
Since triggering the inheritance trial, she could not use the items in her storage ring, nor could she use spiritual power to cultivate. She was required to stay here for ten years without being able to cultivate. The inheritor even thoughtfully prepared enough fasting pills for ten years.
Surprisingly, Yunxi discovered that the trading system was actually usable, and she could retrieve the sketchbooks she had previously purchased from the warehouse within it.
She had three new picture books that she had just acquired through a trade and was preparing to go out and gain experience, so she decided not to take them out yet. She also put the ones she had finished reading before back into the system's warehouse. Unexpectedly, they helped her out.
Yunxi has a fiery temper but is also very straightforward. Because she couldn't open her storage ring, she felt that she didn't have anything the other party needed to trade, so she never thought of trading with Ningxuan again.
During the 10 years she spent in the test of passing on her skills, she repeatedly looked through these sketchbooks again and again.
Interestingly, Yunxi discovers something new every time she watches it. For example, the first time she watched it, she only noticed the plot involving the male and female leads, but the second time she watched it, she found that the supporting characters were also very interesting.
She thought that later on, she would discover that some villains also had righteous and praiseworthy aspects, which was very contradictory.
She could even imagine long stories for those cannon fodder characters or passersby who only appeared in a few lines.
Aside from reading, although she couldn't cultivate, she could move her body and simply practice spell techniques. When she got tired, she would look at picture books, balancing work and rest. Time actually passed quite quickly.
With the help of the fasting pills left by the test takers and these few picture books, Ning Xuan managed to stay in a small, dark place devoid of spiritual energy for ten years. Then she successfully passed the test, obtained the inheritance of an ancient alchemist, and acquired many rare pill formulas that had been lost for a long time.
Once Yunxi received the inheritance, she realized that there was actually a spacetime array set up here. She had undergone a ten-year test, while only 10 days had passed in the outside world.
According to the test taker, only by losing one's cultivation and enduring the monotony in an environment devoid of spiritual energy, and by maintaining one's true nature, can one withstand the repetitive and tedious process of alchemy. One's temperament is more important than one's cultivation level, which is why Yunxi successfully passed the test.
So as soon as Yunxi left the secret realm, she immediately contacted Ningxuan. She wanted to buy more sketchbooks, and she wanted to use up the three times a day that she could use up, each time she could put three squares in the sketchbook.
So Ning Xuan excitedly flipped through novels, and when she found one she thought was good, she sent the synopsis to Yun Xi so that Yun Xi could choose.
In the end, Ning Xuan not only traded several more fantasy novels to the other party, but also palace intrigue and domestic drama novels.
There was a little incident during the process. When Ning Xuan was scanning, she accidentally scanned the packaging of spicy snacks that she had placed aside. Yun Xi saw it and guessed that after spending ten years in the secret realm and eating fasting pills for ten years, Yun Xi suddenly felt like trying something from the mortal world, so she told Ning Xuan.
Ning Xuan was surprised that she wanted to eat mortal food that would produce turbid energy, but then she thought that eating just a little bit shouldn't be a problem, so Ning Xuan recommended desserts and milk tea from her warehouse.
The transaction went smoothly. This time, Ning Xuan used more than a dozen novels, as well as spicy strips, desserts, and milk tea to successfully trade for three storage rings that mortals could use, three Rejuvenation Pills, three Beauty Pills, and several talismans that could be used without the need for spiritual energy, such as invisibility talismans, immobilization talismans, and nightmare talismans.
These low-level talismans were drawn by Yunxi when she suddenly felt like learning to draw talismans, but later her master told her not to be greedy just because she had good spiritual roots and high talent.
They said that since she had a talent for alchemy, she should study it properly and be more down-to-earth, so she put down the talisman-making skills again.
After ten years of trials in the inheritance process, Yunxi felt that she might be able to pick up the art of talismans again. This was also some of the insights she gained from the stories. The path of cultivation does not necessarily have to be boring; one can also cultivate happily.
Ning Xuan was unaware of Yunxi's insights. She was overjoyed as she looked at the items she had acquired in the transaction; they were all valuable treasures.
She planned to keep the talismans and such for herself as a precaution. If she had more to trade with Yunxi in the future, she would consider trading them with partners from other planes. She could also share her storage bag and pills.
Ning Xuan first used her blood to bind her storage ring to her, and then she felt a stronger connection between herself and the storage ring.
Ning Xuan slipped the ring onto her finger, and it automatically shrank to fit her finger perfectly. Then, with a thought, the ring disappeared, but she could still feel its presence.
After playing with the storage ring for a while and moving most of the items in the warehouse into it, Ning Xuan began trading with other planes.
.
In the Great Jin Dynasty, seeing how magical the things Ning Xuan gave her were, clearly something only immortals could use, Wang Erya felt both grateful and somewhat apprehensive. She felt that she wasn't worthy of possessing these things because she couldn't offer anything of value in exchange.
So she selected some expensive and beautiful jewelry from the pile of spoils she had previously received and traded it to Ning Xuan.
Looking at her dwindling spoils, Wang Erya felt she couldn't just sit around and do nothing. But she was illiterate and didn't have any special skills, so she didn't know what she could do in this city.
Taking advantage of this transaction, Wang Erya told Ning Xuan about her doubts.
Ning Xuan expressed her understanding after hearing this, and she gave Wang Erya several suggestions:
First, if you have money on hand, buy estates, fields, and shops; you need to acquire some fixed assets.
Secondly, you can do business, but if you don't have the talent for business or your family's circumstances are not suited for business, then buying more shops and collecting rent is just as good.
Third, literacy. You can hire someone to teach you to read and write, as well as to manage accounts. That way, as your family's assets grow, you won't be deceived by servants.
Wang Erya found Ning Xuan's words very reasonable and immediately decided to follow suit. She would first find a broker to buy land and estates, as well as shops and hire a fortune teller, all of which the broker could help her find.
With so much business coming in all at once, the broker's smile became even more genuine, and knowing that Wang Erya could acquire so many assets at once, he bowed even lower.
These things couldn't be done in a day or two. Fortunately, Wang Erya had quite a bit of money. She even took the glass cups that Ning Xuan had traded to a pawn shop, which were worth a lot of money. This gave her another way to make money, but she didn't dare to do it too often.
