Shu Chen's expression changed slightly, but when Weiwei looked over, she regained her warm demeanor.
Zhu Yi sighed, "That's why men in courtship are all such drama queens."
Wen Ji stared intently without any attempt to hide his gaze, while Shu Chen subtly made some small expressions.
As an outsider, based on her limited experience with romance dramas, she concluded that Weiwei was very beautiful, came from a very elegant family, and had a pure and refined temperament. Her clear and gentle eyes occasionally flashed with an alluring desire, and coupled with her beautiful and graceful figure, she was a heartthrob.
This feeling is strange. Li Mei was clearly a top beauty before, but Zhu Yi could clearly feel that Li Mei was not this popular.
Unconsciously, Weiwei asked in a low voice with concern, "Junior Sister, what brings your family here?"
"They're just looking for trouble, they can't stand to see me doing well!" Zhu Yi didn't take it to heart, not caring about the people from the Zhu family, but instead thinking about today's profits.
Xue Shan brought over the ledger and gave Zhu Yi a brief overview: "Today we sold a total of 540 gift packs, which is over 100,000 low-grade spirit stones. That's equivalent to 1,074 mid-grade spirit stones, plus some low-grade spirit stones."
"Luckily, my junior sister asked me to exchange a lot of low-grade spirit stones before, otherwise we wouldn't even have enough change for today!" Xue Shan said excitedly. It was indeed better to work with Zhu Yi to earn spirit stones.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, and after Shu Chen and Mu Yu left, Zhu Yi and the others discussed the costs and divided the profits in front of everyone.
After deducting the purchase cost of 300 mid-grade spirit stones, Zhu Yi gave Lin Hengjin and Wen Ji 150 mid-grade spirit stones each. They spent four consecutive days working hard in the weapon-refining room, forging iron and assembling small items. It was no easy task.
Weiwei and Xue Shan agreed, noting that the profit-sharing process was more harmonious since everyone was on the same side. Zhu Yi had explained the risks to everyone before the business started, so everyone was mentally prepared for the possibility of failure and was extra careful in preparing for the business.
Of the remaining 474 mid-grade spirit stones, Zhu Yi distributed 100 each to Weiwei, Xue Shan, and herself, and kept an extra 120 as the cost of the soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, and other supplies she had brought out.
Finally, Zhu Yi had more than fifty mid-grade spirit stones left, which she decided to use as capital for her next business venture.
"I really didn't expect my junior sister to give me so many spirit stones!" Lin Hengjin was a little excited, holding his mid-grade spirit stones in his hand and counting them repeatedly. Doing this job with his junior sister was more than he could earn by doing half a year's worth of tasks on his own.
Wen Ji didn't care; his goal wasn't to earn spirit stones. He just wanted to appear in front of Weiwei more often...
Lin Hengjin knew his brother's little scheme, and on the way back, the two of them kept giving Wen Ji advice, "How about, Brother Wen, you give Weiwei a hairpin?"
"It's common knowledge that Junior Sister Weiwei's hairpin looks ordinary, but I recognize it. It's made of fire jade that was refined during the Phoenix Divine Beast's rebirth! Although Weiwei's fire jade hairpin isn't of the purest quality, it's still a rare treasure in the current cultivation world!"
Wen Ji frowned and shook his head, rejecting the idea.
Lin Hengjin raised an eyebrow, not realizing that the jade hairpin his junior sister Weiwei wore every day was so special. He asked in surprise, "Is that jade hairpin really that special?"
“Our Wen family, although not as prosperous as the Wei family, still has some wealth. When I was a child, I saw a real Phoenix Marrow Fire Jade. The fire element was pure and scorching, and it was warm to the touch. The key is that the treasure was also spiritual. People with malicious intentions cannot wear it.”
"What does that have to do with Junior Sister Weiwei's Fire Jade Hairpin?" Lin Hengjin didn't understand. There were many rare and precious materials in the cultivation world, so it was normal for him not to recognize many treasures.
Wen Ji scratched his head, thought seriously for a moment, and said, "It's like this: Weiwei's Fire Jade Hairpin was made from scraps, while the Phoenix Marrow Fire Jade is the purest piece of the entire divine jade."
Then, Wenji became a little discouraged: "The spirit stones I just earned aren't even enough to buy Weiwei a hairpin. It's really distressing!"
This is true. Although the Wen family is not prosperous and its family business is not very deep, it is still a well-known cultivation family in the cultivation world. Its family foundation is incomparable to that of a mortal cultivator like Lin Hengjin.
The most respected cultivator in the entire Wen family is Elder Han Yang of the Weapon Sect of the Tianlan Sect, Wen Ji's uncle.
Wen Ji himself is a physical cultivator. Although it may not sound very useful, Wen Ji can refine weapons and is a pretty good weapon refiner. He himself has good aptitude.
Among the six great families of the cultivation world, the Wei family is the least powerful and the most laid-back. Compared to the ambitious and enterprising spirit of the other five great families, the Wei family members are the most relaxed and carefree. It is rare to hear of Wei family elders demanding that their children's cultivation level reach a certain level...
Strangely, no matter how the rankings of the top five families change, the Wei family has always managed to maintain its sixth position for the past hundred years.
"Oh, this is so worrying. Even if Weiwei is a concubine's daughter of the Wei family, and not as noble as the legitimate daughter, it would still be a great honor for me to marry her! If I could get a piece of pure Phoenix Marrow Fire Jade to give to Weiwei, that would be more worthy of her!"
