Mu Xun's happy face suddenly turned dejected, and Mu Hang said with a flushed face, "We want to buy it, we really want to buy it, but we can't afford it."
Lin Qianqian pointed slyly at the mushrooms and said, "Didn't you say before that another batch of braised pork mushrooms would ripen in four months? We'll be staying here for more than five months, so you'll have another chance to trade. Bring more relatives and friends to come and see."
"However, even the next batch of ripe braised pork mushrooms won't be enough to trade for a single cultivation technique."
Mu Xun felt even more guilty, blaming himself for being so useless, unable to save up enough money to buy his brother a cultivation technique, even though his brother had such good aptitude.
Lin Qianqian sighed. She had given such a clear hint, but he still hadn't gotten it.
"Didn't you guys ever think about buying the cultivation technique together?"
"Group purchase?"
The two brothers looked at each other, seemingly understanding the meaning of the words, yet also seemingly not.
Lin Qianqian was truly exasperated; she had already explained it directly, yet the man still didn't understand.
“You can find someone to buy it together. Find someone in a similar situation to you, someone who has a lot of low-grade Qionglin delicacies, but whose level is not high enough to buy cultivation techniques. You can discuss it first, and I can give you a back door, using quantity to offset quality. You can buy the cultivation techniques and share them between two or more families. Don’t tell me you don’t know anyone like that.”
The two brothers both agreed that it made perfect sense.
"Yes, we have such relatives and friends. We'll go back and discuss it with them right away."
After saying that, the two brothers ran off, but before they even got out of the door, they turned back, embarrassed.
"Boss Lin, we haven't received the boat yet."
Lin Qianqian waved her hand with amusement, letting the robot take them to sail away.
For the next two weeks or so, nothing outrageous happened.
Every day, people are hung on the vines by the door. Lin Qianqian makes them pay something to redeem themselves, otherwise they will be hung there indefinitely.
This is a considerable sum of money, but unfortunately the system also taxes these ransom payments, which is really a rip-off!
Families and large merchants from nearby cities arrived one after another after receiving the news, and a considerable amount of goods were sold.
The transaction value on the system panel has reached 6000.
That day, Wang Mingcheng brought someone to the mall.
The man was in his thirties, with a refined and noble appearance and a tall and straight figure, but his hair was snow-white.
Wang Mingcheng treated him with great respect, even to the point of being extremely cautious.
"Boss Lin, this is Lei Qingqiu, the chairman of our Mainland Food Alliance."
Lin Qianqian had heard Lu Nanzhe mention this leader of the alliance, who was said to be a famous cultivation genius in the Gourmet Continent.
He is also the person with the highest cultivation level in the Central Continent, having reached the ninth level fifty years ago.
However, he came from a commoner background, and although the Lei family rose to prominence because of him, their foundation was relatively shallow.
He is said to be over 200 years old, but he still looks so young.
It seems that in this world, breaking through to the ninth level can also reverse aging and maintain eternal youth.
Lin Qianqian welcomed the person into the reception room.
Lei Qingqiu appeared relaxed when she sat down.
But as soon as Yunze stepped into the reception room, his nerves suddenly tightened for no reason, and his mind raced with thoughts.
"Why didn't I notice this person when they entered the mall?"
It's good that you can't detect it; Yunze usually conceals his aura.
But once they see him in person, no one will treat him like an ordinary person.
Yunze followed her into the conference room and even revealed a bit of his own strength in order to support Lin Qianqian.
After all, the ninth-tier cultivators in this world are no less powerful than Lin Qianqian, who is at the Nascent Soul stage.
Soon, Wen Mingyue and Luo Zexuan also entered the conference room. They would take over the rest of the negotiations and transactions.
As expected of the chairman of the alliance, he immediately provided several gourmet islands and countless high-end delicacies. Lin Qianqian's favorite was a four- or five-meter-tall sour and spicy pomegranate tree.
This tree is similar in shape to the pomegranate tree on Earth, but its trunk is smooth and translucent, its leaves are emerald green with a halo, its fruits are red like they are made of gemstones, and its flesh is crystal clear.
The effects of spicy and sour pomegranates are also quite miraculous, namely, they can make you have a sour child and a spicy child!
Lin Qianqian could imagine how crazy those desperate for children would go if this thing were brought back to Earth.
And it can also be placed in certain dimensions...
The downside is that there's only one.
She needs to ask the system in advance how it will deduct taxes.
"Boss Lin, I know your store sells items with spatial storage. I'd like to buy some. Please name your price."
"I'm sorry, spatial magic items are rare and not for sale."
"Don't rush to refuse. Take a look at what I'm going to use for the transaction before you decide."
Lin Qianqian's pupils dilated slightly as she looked at what Lei Qingqiu had taken out, and she readily took out an empty bead.
After completing the transaction with Lei Qingqiu, the transaction value on the system jumped to 9000, and this time travel mission will soon be completed.
After completing the transaction with the Alliance Chairman, she planned to put away the items from the supernatural world and no longer trade them unless someone offered a very high price.
As for cultivation techniques, after much consideration, Lin Qianqian also decided to stop trading them.
After all, no matter how abundant the world's resources are, it's not a good thing if everyone cultivates immortality.
Currently, only five families possess cultivation techniques: Lu Nanzhe, the Wang family, Lei Qingqiu, and the Qin family, which has the largest business in the Central Continent.
There's also a very close friend of Lu Nanzhe, the shy little boy Xiang Chengguang who was the first to call Lin Qianqian "sister".
Although Lu Nanzhe demonstrated his cultivation techniques in front of his group of cronies.
However, Lu Nanzhe was only a beginner, and the fire spell he cast was just a small flame.
Even if people have watched movies and videos, not many truly believe that cultivating immortality can turn the world upside down and grant eternal life. Some who do believe in it give up because it's too expensive.
However, Xiang Chengguang was deeply fascinated by Lu Nanzhe's description of cultivating immortality.
Like Lu Nanzhe, his background is somewhat dramatic.
Xiang Chengguang was born into the prominent Xiang family, and was a posthumous child. His mother also came from a distinguished family, and their marriage was arranged through a family alliance.
After his father died, his mother abandoned him after giving birth to him, remarried her first love, and no longer cared about him.
Xiang Chengguang was raised by his family. He didn't have a good childhood, but he was never hungry or cold.
After he came of age, he inherited his father's estate from his family. Although the clan withheld a lot of it, he still obtained two intermediate-level gourmet islands.
Despite pressure from his clan, he traded two islands to the marketplace for a Heavenly Water Technique.
Because he has three spiritual roots: water, metal, and wood, with the water spiritual root being the purest.
However, having water-based techniques is useless without corresponding offensive spells, but he simply couldn't offer anything to exchange.
Unexpectedly, Lu Nanzhe was very loyal and took out his complete basic spellbook, picking out all the water, metal, and wood spells, and let Xiang Chengguang copy a copy for free to learn.
Xiang Chengguang was so moved that he burst into tears and vowed to repay Lu Nanzhe's kindness.
Xiang Chengguang was very ambitious and could endure loneliness to cultivate diligently. Although he had three spiritual roots, he entered the path of cultivation within ten days and became a Qi Refining cultivator.
Yesterday, Lu Nanzhe called to say that Xiang Chengguang had mastered several spells.
Lin Qianqian knew that Xiang Chengguang's future achievements would be remarkable.
