Chapter 109 Passerby Affected by the Cultivation Novel (15)
Well, as soon as this man opened his mouth, Jiang Yue felt that there was a big business deal to be made. Jiang Yue first invited the man to sit down, sent the shop assistant to buy dinner, and after the man left, Jiang Yue said, "Hello, sir, we buy all kinds of spiritual herbs and ores." Then Jiang Yue continued, "My name is Qian Duoduo, may I ask how you are addressed?"
"Jun Moxie".
After hearing what the cloaked man said, Jiang Yue was taken aback for a moment, but her expression remained unchanged. Wasn't this the protagonist's alias? Was the protagonist here to sell spiritual herbs in her shop? It seemed that some kind of butterfly effect had occurred. But this was good, as Jiang Yue had been regretting that she couldn't buy some spiritual herbs from the protagonist. Now the opportunity had come: "It's Brother Jun. Please have a seat, brother."
Then Jiang Yue poured a pot of tea for the protagonist: "Brother Jun, is this your first time visiting our shop? I wonder if you have heard about it before? Our shop has always been honest and fair to all, and we offer very reasonable prices. We are also very discreet. No one who has ever done business with us has ever had a bad word to say about us. You have come to the right place."
"Hehe, shopkeeper, you have a good eye. This is indeed my first time here, and I came because I know this place has a good reputation." Chen Changsheng deliberately changed his voice, and you could tell that he was being a bit deliberate, but Jiang Yue didn't call him out on it.
"Whether it's your first time here or not doesn't matter. I believe you'll choose our shop again after your first transaction. I'll definitely make sure you're satisfied," Jiang Yue said confidently. Well, Jiang Yue was just going to use money to sway people.
After chatting for a while, the protagonist took out a small wooden box from his storage bag. He didn't open it directly, but pushed the box in front of Jiang Yue. Jiang Yue nodded to the protagonist, and after opening the box, she saw a herb. Jiang Yue searched her memory and found that it was Huangjingzhi. After checking for a while, Jiang Yue confirmed that it was real and that it was probably over a thousand years old. Jiang Yue pursed her lips and then closed the box.
"Brother Jun, you are truly a man of few words! The item is genuine. May I ask how you wish to proceed with the transaction?"
Instead of directly asking what he wanted to exchange, the protagonist asked Jiang Yue, "Manager Qian, what do you have here?"
"I have several types of items available for trade: First, spirit stones; I'm willing to offer 5,000 low-grade spirit stones. Second, cultivation techniques; you can choose from various spells I have in my collection. Third, magic artifacts; I even have a set of top-grade magic artifacts for the Qi Refining stage. Fourth:..."
Jiang Yue paused, took a sip of tea, and said, "If you have multiple spiritual herbs that are over a thousand years old, or one spiritual herb that is over three thousand years old, I am willing to exchange it for a Foundation Establishment Pill."
After Jiang Yue finished speaking, the protagonist's hand trembled, and he spilled his tea: "You really have Foundation Establishment Pills?" Jiang Yue waved her hand, and the Foundation Establishment Pills appeared on the table: "Genuine Foundation Establishment Pills, purchased from the Universal Chamber of Commerce. I have a purchase receipt, and you can verify the goods. You know the Universal Chamber of Commerce, right?"
The protagonist nodded, completely unable to calm down this time. He had originally wanted to manipulate Jiang Yue, but unexpectedly, he was the one being manipulated. He watched helplessly as Jiang Yue put the Foundation Establishment Pill back, and the little look in his eyes almost made Jiang Yue laugh. It took the protagonist a while to calm down: "Sigh, the Foundation Establishment Pill is good, but unfortunately I only have one thousand-year-old spiritual herb, and I only obtained it by chance and with a life-or-death experience."
Jiang Yue watched the protagonist spout nonsense without pointing it out, and even nodded in agreement. Did she think, "I know you just sleep at home and water the plants every day, and you grow a thousand-year-old spiritual herb?" In the end, the protagonist exchanged for a copy of "The Five Elements Technique," a magic robe, and some spirit stones. Both parties were quite satisfied. The protagonist put the items away, and Jiang Yue also put the spiritual herb into her spatial storage, where time was paused and she wasn't afraid of time passing.
Before leaving, Jiang Yue reminded the protagonist, "Brother Jun, if you can obtain more spiritual herbs within the next six months, you can come to me. After six months, I will leave the Taixu Domain, and it won't be easy for you to find a buyer like me who abides by the rules again." After hearing Jiang Yue's words, the protagonist didn't say anything, just nodded and left. Jiang Yue didn't know if there would be another transaction, but having a thousand-year-old spiritual herb was not a loss.
After a while, the shop assistant returned, carrying a lunchbox. Seeing that the main character wasn't there, she asked Jiang Yue curiously, "Boss, did the business go well?"
Jiang Yue smiled and nodded. The shop assistant, having set out the food, came over and asked, "Boss, was it a big job? I could tell from the customer's attire. Usually, these kinds of people do big business. How was it? How much did you make?"
Jiang Yue looked at the gossipy shop assistant and pushed her head away: "You're just a kid, don't ask so many questions. Remember, if this person comes again, remember to let me know if I'm not around."
"Oh, okay, I remember now."
After eating, Jiang Yue went back to her room to cultivate. She hoped the protagonist would come more often. In this day and age, people with high cultivation levels would not lack spirit stones, but high-quality medicinal herbs would always be in short supply. Jiang Yue wanted to exchange all the spirit stones in her space for medicinal herbs, which would be a valuable currency when she went to other places.
For the next two months, the main character didn't come. Jiang Yue introduced the shop assistant to Wanbaoge, where she became a contracted talisman master. This way, if something happened in Taixu Domain, she could escape in advance with the protection of a powerful force. During the day, Jiang Yue tidied up the shop and said goodbye to Manager Zhang and the shop assistant. Tomorrow, Jiang Yue would go to the branch to wait for the flying boat. Jiang Yue planned to go early, just in case something happened and she was delayed on the way.
Just as the shop was about to close for the night, the protagonist finally arrived. Jiang Yue breathed a sigh of relief, thinking there was no hope. The two then entered the shop. This time, the protagonist probably brought out all the stock: one four-thousand-year-old spiritual herb and five thousand-year-old spiritual herbs.
In the end, the protagonist chose the Foundation Establishment Pill and some spirit stones. Jiang Yue didn't know the price of the four-thousand-year-old spiritual herb. Even if the herb wasn't very precious, it was definitely cheap after four thousand years. Looking at the glowing spiritual herb, Jiang Yue felt that she wasn't cut out to be a ruthless merchant. She gave the protagonist all the magical artifacts she used during the Qi Refining stage, as well as some second-tier talismans and puppets.
After the transaction, Jiang Yue said to the protagonist, "I don't know the price of a four-thousand-year-old spiritual herb. I guess I got a good deal this time. I'll give you all these magical artifacts. And when you trade spiritual herbs to others in the future, remember not to do it like this. It looks like it was just unearthed not long ago, and the medicinal properties are still intact. Only I could do this. If it were anyone else, you wouldn't even be able to walk into this shop."
The protagonist felt a chill run down his spine after hearing Jiang Yue's words, fearing that she might also kill and rob him. Seeing that Jiang Yue didn't seem to have any such intention, he wiped away his cold sweat. After completing the transaction, Jiang Yue handed the protagonist several contact talismans: "These are talismans to contact me. I'm leaving here tomorrow. If you go to the Central Region in the future and have any spiritual herbs to sell, contact me. I accept rare ores, spiritual herbs, and special cultivation techniques."
