Yingyuan Fairy Island is a third-level fairy island that is as ordinary as a grain of sand in the vast inland ocean.
There are no decent resources, but the environment is not as harsh as the open sea.
It is just like a small county town near the imperial city in the mundane world. You say it is bad, but it does not have as much competition as the third-level fairy island in the outer sea, and the monks on the island live quite well; you say it is good, but it is not much better because of the siphoning of fourth- and fifth-level fairy islands.
Even some sea beasts in the sea usually don't like to come here to search for blood food.
Peaceful and tranquil but nothing good.
The biggest wish of the monks on the island is to become a foundation-builder, then accumulate some spirit stones, and ride on the waves to a larger fairy island.
That's what Shen Jie is like.
If he was born on Yingyuan Fairy Island, he would most likely die on Yingyuan Fairy Island in the future. Or, if things got more dramatic, he would encounter a sea beast that was rarely seen in decades or even centuries, struggle a bit, and become blood food in its mouth, which would become a horror story that would circulate on the fairy island for a while.
On this day, a store opened in the most prosperous area of the fairy island, but it also did not attract much attention.
Chen Jie had some minor skills. The three methods of making talismans passed down by his ancestors allowed him to have enough food and clothing, and he was also well-known in the neighborhood where he lived. With the resources obtained from his skills and the nourishment of the third-level spiritual veins, he reached the peak of the chain qi at the age of forty.
"Old Shen, the price of water shield charms has gone up a bit recently, let's make some more."
"Okay, I see. Is there anything exciting happening on the street?"
Chen Jie has a Taoist partner and two children. Chain Qi monks are always like this. When they seem to have no hope for the future, they will try their best to give birth to a few children in the hope that they can make some breakthroughs.
He just draws talismans at home, and his partner sells them on the streets. They have been doing this for more than 20 years, and they have a tacit understanding in their cooperation.
He heard the noise on the street a while ago but was too lazy to go and see. Even though it might delay his work for a while, it was actually a waste of a lot of time. Drawing talismans requires a calm mind and concentration.
It's hard to say how long it takes to adjust. Sometimes I can get into the state quickly, and sometimes it takes most of the day. I can't afford to delay. I need spiritual stones to support my family, and the ambition buried deep in my heart also needs spiritual stones.
"A new shop has opened. They say it's some kind of money house."
"If you deposit spirit stones or some cultivation resources in it, they will give you interest."
"Haha, if you ask me, it's all a scam. The buyer is not as smart as the seller. We have been doing business for so many years, don't you know that? How could there be a fool who would give you benefits for free? Most likely, they are eyeing the things deposited in the account."
Shen Jie agreed with his Taoist partner's words.
Who does business to lose money? Don't miss the free benefits. If you want them, you will have to pay a higher price.
He was well past the age of innocence and knew that everything had a price.
He didn't take this matter to heart at first, but half a year later, his Taoist partner suddenly came to the place where he usually made talismans, and mysteriously took out two spirit stones from her arms and placed them in front of him.
"What? From the looks of you, did you pick it up while walking?"
It was originally a joke, but I didn't expect my Taoist partner to nod seriously, "It's not an exaggeration to say that I found it!"
Chen Jie stopped writing the talisman and looked at his Taoist partner. He knew from their years of tacit understanding that there must be something going on.
Sure enough, the Taoist companion whispered, "Do you remember that bank?"
"I have some impression of him, he's the one who gave you the spirit stones for free... Could this be him?"
“Yes, they really do!”
As she spoke, she took out another storage bag.
"Don't we have some talisman paper and spiritual ink that we don't need for the time being? I thought I wouldn't need it for the time being, so I took some out and deposited it in the bank for fifty spiritual stones. The interest for half a year is two spiritual stones!"
Chen Jie was a little annoyed at first, after all, how could he use the food he was eating to do such a thing? But when he heard that the Taoist partner only took a part of it, he felt relieved. The Taoist partner was very careful in his actions.
Secondly, he didn't know what to say. Although these two spirit stones seemed insignificant, they had already somewhat overturned his cognition.
Is there really such a fool?
"Sister Luo, she is the Taoist partner of the alchemist in front of us, you know her, right?"
"Yeah, I think I've seen it before."
"She has stored some hard-to-sell elixirs for over a thousand spirit stones. Guess what?"
"Won't......"
"We went to get it together today! I saw it with my own eyes. She brought back 43 Spiritual Stones! You don't have to do anything, just store these resources that you don't normally use, and you can pick up Spiritual Stones for free!"
Shen Jie always felt that it was a bit far-fetched, but the facts were in front of him and he had to believe it.
"I heard from Sister Luo that this time I went back to discuss with the alchemist and planned to save more, while others are still afraid to spend more, and save for three to five months. As long as we withdraw in time, we can always get some benefits for free."
Chen Jie understood that this was because Sister Luo and her Taoist partner were not so confident about this matter. After all, which businessman could really give away such abundant spiritual stones? Even if there were spiritual stones, they could not be wasted like this. Sooner or later, they would be used up.
I also guessed what my Taoist partner was thinking, which was to make some money before others deposited it, and then withdraw in time if the wind was not blowing.
"Isn't this too dangerous?"
"Don't worry, I have a plan. I will just store the things we don't need on a regular basis in there. I won't put the spirit stones and important items in there. Even if there is some danger, the loss won't be that serious."
"I'll set up the stall nearby. If anything goes wrong, we can get out of here the first time. Those items are usually just there, so this is really a chance to pick up spirit stones for free. We can't miss it."
Shen Jie was a little moved.
"What's more, I know you've always wanted to give it a try. You didn't dare to think about getting the Foundation Establishment Pill before, but now you can give it a try. It only takes a few years and some capital, and you'll have the Foundation Establishment Pill!"
Chen Jie was convinced, but still a little worried, so he followed his Taoist partner to the bank the next day.
The decoration here is very special, he has never seen it before.
A very long counter divides the venue into two. The counter is not so tall that you need to crane your neck to reach it, but only reaches the waist. There are chairs on it. Opposite the counter are some beautiful female monks.
He stood aside without saying a word, listening to his fellow Taoist and the female cultivator talking.
"...The total price is 1,700 Spiritual Stones. See if you can accept it."
"Accept it. Accept it."
The Taoist couple was extremely happy. Chen Jie had never thought that some useless things and the unused things left by his parents were actually so valuable.
There was a magic weapon inside. It seemed that he had pawned it at a pawn shop before, but gave up because the offer was too low. Here, he was offered a price that was less than 10% lower than the market price of a brand new one.
What a conscience! What a conscience!
"Here is your voucher, please keep it. By the way, Madam, we have a new business recently. We can apply for a short-term credit spirit stone loan, which can be used for turnover. Do you think you need it?"
