Chapter 37 Special Storage Bag
The early morning sunlight shines on the bamboo house, illuminating the lush greenery in the courtyard.
A slender monk with a mustache stood in front of the fence gate, looking at the thriving garden full of vegetables and fruits, a smile appearing on his lips.
He had just come from Lao Huang's house when Lao Huang introduced him to a junior brother who also wanted to sell spirit grains.
Having purchased yellow sprout rice in the Bishui Lake area for many years, he roughly knows which Lingnong grows Lingnong rice of good quality.
Lower-quality Linggu has even lower profit margins, so there's no need to acquire it.
Upon learning that the other party was a new disciple, he was initially reluctant to come, but he reluctantly agreed to come out of respect for Lao Huang.
Now that he saw the lush vegetables in the yard, he understood why Old Huang had such a meaningful smile on his face when he said goodbye.
Before becoming the family steward, he was also a highly skilled spirit farmer. He could tell at a glance that the owner of the courtyard had excellent planting magic, no less than Old Huang.
This piqued his curiosity. How could such a talented spiritual farmer appear among the new disciples? He thought to himself that the sect was more attractive to talents than a cultivation family.
Unfortunately, the Golden Spirit Sect excels in weapon crafting and beast taming, so the opponent will not receive much attention.
If the other party were to join Falling Maple Valley, renowned for its formations and alchemy, they would likely have a better life.
"Is this Fellow Daoist Ji An's residence?"
Ji An was practicing the Sharp Metal Technique inside the bamboo house. Today was the day Old Huang had arranged, and he was staying at home obediently.
Divine sense is extremely important to cultivators, and techniques for cultivating divine sense are very rare.
He didn't have the relevant cultivation method, but by practicing the Sharp Metal Technique, a spell that requires a high level of spiritual awareness, he could passively improve his spiritual awareness to some extent.
Although the improvement was extremely slow, he enjoyed it immensely.
Hearing someone calling, Ji An opened the window and looked out. Seeing someone standing outside the door, he hurriedly went out.
"I am Ji An. May I ask, fellow Daoist?"
Seeing that the newcomer's Taoist robe had no sect markings and that he addressed himself as a fellow Daoist, Ji An guessed that he must be the one who came to acquire the Spirit Valley.
The sleeves of the robes worn by disciples of the Golden Spirit Sect have a golden thread.
"Li Changqing of the Li family of White Ape Mountain, I heard from Fellow Daoist Huang that Fellow Daoist Ji is also selling Yellow Sprout Rice?"
"Indeed, please follow me, fellow Daoist."
Ji An stepped aside and gestured for them to proceed, then walked towards the bamboo house first.
"I have some acquaintance with your esteemed family's Senior Brother Li Changfeng. Fellow Daoist and Senior Brother Changfeng are from the same clan, so you must be quite close, right?"
Cultivation families all have family trees, and you can tell from the name that the other person is of the same generation as Li Changfeng.
“I am Changfeng’s cousin, but I am only from a collateral branch of the Li family, and my status is not as noble as Changfeng’s.”
Li Changqing responded with a smile, saying that many spirit farmers claimed to be familiar with Li Changfeng when they traded with him, in order to get a few more crystals in the end. He had seen it many times.
My cousin Changfeng is a direct descendant of the main lineage. He is only twenty-one years old this year and has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. The reason he has not yet reached the Foundation Establishment stage is that he wants to solidify his foundation.
If one can open more branches of the immortal veins and expand them as much as possible, one can forge a superior Dao foundation, thereby greatly improving one's aptitude through the advancement of a higher realm.
He only learned of these secrets after he became the manager.
"Senior Brother Li once gave me a jade pendant, saying that I could get a discount if I went to Li's shop in Qingyun Immortal City."
Unfortunately, I never left the sect and therefore never received any preferential treatment.
Ji An smiled and took out the jade pendant from his bosom, handing it to Li Changqing.
You can't enjoy discounts if you don't buy anything, and you can't bargain down prices when you sell something!
Earning an extra spirit crystal is always good; save when you should, and take the benefits you're entitled to.
Li Changqing was slightly taken aback. He took the jade pendant, covered it with his hand, and brought it close to his eyes, as if he was carefully examining it.
Secretly, he used his family's unique incantation to channel spiritual energy into the jade pendant.
In the center of the pure white jade, a green character the size of a fingernail, "Li," is revealed, with two other characters the size of rice grains beside it—"Changfeng."
Hey, this guy really does have connections with Changfeng.
Li Changqing knew that Changfeng was on duty in the General Affairs Hall and also had the task of finding outstanding spiritual farmers for the family.
Many old spirit farmers who could no longer stay in the sect would receive invitations from the Li clan of White Ape Mountain.
These spiritual farmers, once they arrive at White Ape Mountain, can still contribute for at least another one or two decades.
Unable to resist glancing at Ji An a few more times, Li Changqing wondered why the other party had won Changfeng's favor.
At such a young age, his cultivation has already reached the fourth level of Qi Refining; it's still a long way from leaving the sect.
"It is indeed a token of Changfeng, Fellow Daoist Ji, please accept it."
When he arrives in Qingyun Immortal City, he will be entitled to all the benefits he deserves.
Li Changqing's tone became more polite.
Ji An smiled as he accepted the jade pendant, carefully placing it in his robes, and pointed to the pile of cloth bags:
"Please inspect the goods, fellow Daoist. All of these have been sold."
All the food rations were left in the rice bin.
Li Changqing took out a scale and a copper pipe from his storage bag and laughed:
"The necessary procedures still need to be followed. I'll check the quality."
Ji An nodded slightly: "It is only right."
Li Changqing untied the cloth bag, grabbed some spirit rice to observe its color and smell its aroma, then put a few grains in his mouth and chewed them carefully, nodding secretly.
He inserted the copper tube into the cloth bag, opened the mechanism, and the spirit rice in the middle and bottom of the bag leaked into the copper tube.
After repeating the previous steps, he inspected all the cloth bags and laughed:
"Fellow Daoist's spiritual grain is of excellent quality!"
The purchase price for spirit rice is one spirit crystal per kilogram. I'll make the decision: 105 spirit crystals for 100 kilograms of yellow sprout rice. What do you think?
With this quality of spirit rice, if transported to Qingyun Immortal City, it would earn 10 spirit crystals per 100 jin and there would be no shortage of buyers.
"Can."
"Okay."
Li Changqing quickly weighed the spirit rice and said:
"Exactly 1100 catties of spirit rice. Fellow Daoist, do you think this number is correct?"
"It's exactly the same as my measurement."
Ji An smiled, thinking to himself that this was more cost-effective than selling it to a sect.
Aside from the land rent that must be paid with spirit rice, it would be better to sell all the spirit rice in the future and exchange it for spirit stones to convert into contribution points.
The other party doesn't shortchange you and even offers a discount, so there's no need to overthink the decision.
Thinking about this, he realized that some people within the sect must have some kind of exchange of interests with these families who were buying spirit rice, otherwise they wouldn't have allowed these people to enter the sect to buy spirit rice.
Li Changqing counted the crystals and handed them out:
"A total of 11 spirit stones and 55 spirit crystals, fellow Daoist, please accept them."
Ji An took the spirit stones, counted them again, and put them away.
"The number is not a problem."
He sighed inwardly, realizing he had never been so wealthy before, but he knew he wouldn't be able to keep these crystals for more than a few months.
Purchasing spirit-capturing arrays and exchanging spell jade slips both require a large amount of spirit stones.
Li Changqing took out another storage bag and put the spirit rice into it.
Ji An stared intently at the other person's storage bag containing spirit rice:
"The Li family of White Ape Mountain is so extravagant. I wonder how many kilograms of spirit rice this storage bag can hold?"
The larger the storage bag, the more expensive it is. If the amount of rice being purchased is less than several hundred thousand kilograms, it's not worth making such a long trip.
The other party doesn't know how many high-grade storage bags they need to prepare, but that doesn't make sense, since spirit rice is of low value and not worth doing so.
"Fellow Daoist may not know, but I used a special magical restriction when I refined the storage bag I used to hold the spirit rice."
Although it has a large capacity, it can only hold various kinds of spirit rice; it cannot hold anything else.
All large-volume transactions require the use of these specially designed storage bags.
Li Changqing paused, then asked:
"Will I come to buy spirit rice on this day again in the future?"
"Can."
I will try to release it as early as possible tomorrow, and I look forward to reading it tomorrow.
I hope to read it enough to get it recommended.
Thank you everyone.
