In that short time, Lin Qianqian thought of many ways to deal with the situation and asked the system if she was absolutely safe in the mall.
The system's answer was: Absolutely safe.
The power of this world cannot break the system's protective rules.
Hearing this affirmative answer, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the Fifth Elder Qi Xiuhan, who was opposite her, withdrew his gaze from her and asked again, "Do you have any secret methods for planting and maintaining peach trees? If so, please sell them to me. You can name your price."
"Yes, yes, let me look for it. As an apology, I'll sell you the planting and maintenance methods cheaply; you can just give me any beast core."
Lin Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief. So that's what he was asking. Thank goodness.
She quickly took out her tablet and showed him the relevant videos.
Qi Xiuhan didn't take advantage of Lin Qianqian and tossed her an eighth-level beast core.
The fist-sized blue crystal is so beautiful and dazzling that you'll be captivated by it after just a few glances.
This is the highest-level beast core she has received so far.
The procurement for the headquarters of the Superpowered Individuals Guild is not something an elder like him needs to handle; the people who came with him will be responsible for it.
After leaving the follow-up matters to his subordinates, Qi Xiuhan focused intently on watching the video.
The headquarters of the Superpowered Guild is much wealthier than the Yuecheng Guild. Although it can't compare to the royal family, the items it offers for exchange are of a very high level.
Next was the deal with the Sky Slash Squad. Krell was a rough and bold man.
According to Tang Yingying, that little gossip, Krell only advanced to the eighth rank last year.
He is powerful and speaks directly.
This time, however, he didn't rush to talk to Lin Qianqian about buying things right away. Instead, he gave her a gift first.
They were a pair of wind-type Pegasus calves, which their team had captured by chance on a grassland during a mission not long ago.
At the time, their parents were resting by the river, while the two cubs were chasing butterflies and playing by themselves. They wandered off and were caught by the Sky Slash Squad.
It is said that if these Pegasus are fed natural plants from a young age, they can rise to the ninth rank and grow a unicorn, becoming a unicorn, and their intelligence will also become very high.
However, no one in the supernatural world can feed it natural plants indefinitely. Even wealthy and powerful families only feed it natural plants occasionally, so the highest level it can advance to is level six.
After capturing the cubs, they were kept by their team for a few days, and they haven't had time to find buyers yet.
When Krell came out this time, the team's strategist insisted that he take the two cubs with him.
He also instructed that if the online store was indeed as advertised on the channel, the pair of little Pegasus horses should be given to the store's owner.
First, build a closer relationship so you can buy more and better things.
These Pegasus pups were incredibly beautiful, with snow-white fur, large, bright eyes, long eyelashes, and tiny, snow-white downy wings. Their stunning looks immediately captured Lin Qianqian's heart.
Sure enough, everyone loves cute things. Others might not be able to afford to raise such a cub, but Lin Qianqian can.
Not to mention eating natural plants, you can even eat rare herbs and fruits.
After enjoying a fine meal and seeing the variety of goods at the mall, Krell resisted the urge to shop.
He remembered his strategist's words: if you want something done, you must first offer gifts. Only by building a good relationship will the shop owner give their team more preferential treatment.
Lin Qianqian was indeed someone who felt indebted to others, but she was too embarrassed to accept such an expensive gift for nothing, so she immediately reciprocated by giving them five cherry trees laden with fruit, as well as several large bags of candy and pastries.
Krell was overjoyed to receive the cherry tree and candy. He immediately unwrapped three lollipops and put them in his mouth, and then handed one to each of his men who had come with him.
Lin Qianqian thought it was a great deal to get something so cute for only a few trees and a few bags of candy!
The Sky Slash Squad felt they had made a profit, exchanging something they grabbed casually for so many treasures.
Both sides were very satisfied and felt they had gotten a great deal.
As it turned out, cultivating relationships was effective. Lin Qianqian provided them with numerous advantages; their team exchanged the same items for more and better-value goods, resulting in a very pleasant transaction for both parties.
The others, seeing this, beat their chests in frustration, secretly regretting that they hadn't thought of the gift-giving tactic. Krell, that muscular guy, certainly wouldn't have thought of such tricks; the idea must have come from their team's cunning strategist.
The most difficult part was the deal with the Sikong family. Sikong Yi agreed to trade the Empty Pearl, but refused to hand over the Empty Mulberry Tree and its cultivation method, saying that this was the foundation of their family's existence.
Even if Lin Qianqian assured him that if she cultivated and produced an empty pearl, she would never sell it in this realm, it still wouldn't work.
Lin Qianqian had initially thought the deal was off and was ready to give up. But unexpectedly, Sikong Yi suddenly took out a spirit stone and asked her if she recognized it.
"Spirit stones? How do you have spirit stones?"
Sikong Yi didn't answer the question. Instead, he excitedly stood up from the stool. "So you really do know about spirit stones."
He laughed loudly, excitedly spinning around in circles, "Hahaha, the Sikong family is saved!"
Seeing his excited outburst, Lin Qianqian didn't disturb him. Instead, she took the opportunity to communicate with the system in her mind: "System, are there spirit stones in this plane? I've never seen anyone take them out before, so I thought they didn't exist."
"Host, you must understand that spirit stones are actually crystals of spiritual energy. The spiritual energy in this plane is unstable and violent, making it impossible for spirit stones to precipitate and form."
"It seems that the Sikong family must have had some extraordinary encounter to possess spirit stones."
After Sikong Yi had finally finished laughing and calmed down, he took the initiative to explain the whole story before Lin Qianqian could ask.
It turns out that their family's ancestor who originally cultivated the Kongsang tree was a ninth-level spatial ability user.
During a trip, he unexpectedly saved a visitor from another world. It is said that the person came from a cultivation world and claimed to be a cultivator.
That person was accidentally caught in a spacetime turbulence while exploring a secret realm.
Fortunately, he possessed a high-level magical artifact with powerful protective capabilities, which allowed him to barely survive the temporal turbulence. He eventually ended up in the world of supernatural beings, but he was severely injured.
After bringing the man back, the ancestor of the Sikong family invited famous doctors to treat him and tried every means to cure him, but he still died a few years later.
After that person died, he left his storage bag and the remaining items and spirit stones in it to their ancestor, including a jade slip for cultivating spirit trees.
His ancestor, with his intelligence and wisdom, combined with the actual situation in the world of supernatural abilities, improved the cultivation method in the jade slip and finally artificially cultivated the hollow mulberry tree.
However, this cultivation method requires the use of spirit stones.
So many years have passed, and the spirit stones left behind by that cultivator have been almost completely used up.
In recent years, the number of empty beads released by their family has been decreasing, and many forces have begun to suspect that there is something wrong with their family's empty mulberry tree.
The reason he tested Lin Qianqian in this way was because of his elder brother, Si Kongling, the current patriarch of the Si family.
After communicating with Ma Bozhou, he deduced from Ma Bozhou's description that Lin Qianqian might be the cultivator described in the ancestral notes, so he sent him over.
No wonder Lin Qianqian sensed pure spiritual energy in the empty pearl; it must be because of those spirit stones.
"So you want to trade spirit stones?"
