Chapter 13 Negotiation
Leng Youran discovered something interesting as soon as she stepped into the mission hall. The shop didn't look big from the outside, but as soon as she entered, she found that there was a space formation inside. The place inside looked several times larger than the outside. The spacious hall was divided into two sides, and the entire west wall was occupied by an extra-large screen. Various tasks were displayed on the huge screen, which scrolled every quarter of an hour, constantly displaying the completion status of various tasks and new tasks. It looked very much like the scrolling electronic devices in her previous life. She didn't expect to see similar devices from her previous life here, which made her feel like crying. She suppressed her thoughts and looked in the direction of the screen. Several people were choosing tasks that suited them. She wrote down the tasks she liked first, and then went to the task counter to negotiate after choosing.
There were two counters on a wall at the back of the hall. One was the counter for the mission wall, and the other looked a bit small, not as big as the one at the mission hall. There was only one person standing behind the counter. The sign on the counter said "Cave Rental". Leng Youran saw the counter for renting a cave and walked up to it, asking how to rent the cave. Standing behind the counter was a middle-aged cultivator who looked to be in his thirties. He had the cultivation base of the eleventh level of the Qi training period and a soothing smile on his face. He saw a little boy of eight or nine years old walking towards him. He was wearing top-grade magic weapons. He should be the young master of a big family who came out to train. A young master who came out alone like this usually had someone protecting him in secret. After all, it was not easy for a big family to train a disciple. The young master's clothes showed that he was highly valued in the family, so he didn't dare to be presumptuous. He asked with a smile, "Little boy..." "Daoist, do you want to rent a cave residence?" Leng Youran nodded. The cultivator behind the counter took out a cave residence rental map, input the spiritual energy and expanded it, and introduced it to Leng Youran. "The spiritual energy in this white area is similar to that in the city, and it costs ten low-grade spirit stones a month. The spiritual energy in the green area is much denser than the white area, and it costs fifteen low-grade spirit stones a month. The spiritual energy concentration in the golden area is twice as high as here, and it costs twenty low-grade spirit stones a month. If you want to stay here for a short period of time, the white and green areas are more suitable. The golden area is rented by cultivators who are in seclusion to break through the levels. Little Daoist, do you have thought about renting that kind of cave residence?" "Then let's have the green area! I'll rent it for three months first, which is forty-five low-grade spirit stones." Leng Youran thought for a while, took out a spirit stone from the storage bag and handed it to the cultivator. The middle-aged cultivator was more certain of her identity when he saw her take out the spirit stone without hesitation.
If Leng Youran knew what he was thinking, she would have said, "Uncle, you're overthinking it!" After paying the spirit stones, she followed the waiter assigned by the middle-aged cultivator to the cave he had rented. The place she rented was in the south of the city. After a quarter of an hour's walk, she arrived at the cave's door. The doorplate read "Green 128." The waiter handed her a jade token and said, "Daoyou, if the time is up and you want to renew your lease, please come to the shop and pay the spirit stones. If you don't want to renew your lease, just crush the jade token when you leave." Leng Youran nodded at him, and he turned and left.
She took the jade token and opened the courtyard. The courtyard was two acres in size, with three main rooms, a kitchen, a training room on the left, a room on the right that she planned to use as an alchemy room, and a reception room in the middle. Both sides of the courtyard could be used as medicinal fields. She planned to plant some spiritual herbs that could be harvested in the short term, so that she could also earn spiritual stones. Thinking of this, she turned and left the cave and headed towards the market. She first went into a shop that bought monster materials and sold all the monster materials she had on her. She made a total of 300 low-grade spiritual stones, mainly because the third-level wind wolf sold for 150 low-grade spiritual stones. She then went into an elixir shop and went to the spiritual medicine counter to sell some spiritual herbs she had planted over the years and mature spiritual herbs she had picked in the woods. Because they were all low-grade spiritual herbs, she got 500 low-grade spiritual stones, mainly because the quantity was a bit too much. Then she bought a low-grade alchemy furnace and some spiritual herbs she didn't have at the store. They were all low-grade spiritual herbs used to refine first- and second-grade elixirs, totaling 480 low-grade spiritual stones. The guy put the things he wanted and twenty low-grade spirit stones in a storage bag and handed it to her. He watched her transfer the things to his own storage bag, and then said to Leng Youran as usual, "If you need to sell the pills you made, you can come to our shop. We will give you a fair price." Leng Youran nodded and turned to leave. He walked to the shop selling talismans and bought two hundred pieces of talisman paper, a total of 20,000 sheets, and some cinnabar. He didn't buy much cinnabar, because he had left a lot of blood from the monsters he killed during this period. The monster blood is more useful than cinnabar. The talismans made with monster blood are of much higher quality than those made with cinnabar.
Under the shopkeeper's astonished gaze, he turned and left the shop. He knew that Leng Youran had suffered from the loss of talisman paper before, so he didn't dare to use a lot of talisman paper. Therefore, the quality of the talismans he made could not be improved, so he bought more at one time.
In fact, there are quite a few talismans in her space, but she has no intention of selling them, because she feels safe only when she has the talismans on her.
The most lively place in the market town is where the independent cultivators set up stalls. It is a place specially set aside in the city for these independent cultivators to set up stalls. They only need to pay spirit stones to the deacon who manages the market town to get a stall. Leng Youran walked around the market town and looked around. He asked about anything strange that he didn't recognize. He stopped at a stall selling spiritual medicine seeds, asked about it, and bought some species that were not found in the space or the medicine garden. He also saw a strange purple seed and asked curiously, "Daoyou, what kind of seed is this? Why is it so strange?" The person selling spiritual medicine seeds The one who was looking after her was a middle-aged woman with a very gentle temperament and the eighth level of Qi training. Seeing her curiosity, she began to explain. It turned out that these were two thunder bamboo seeds, which her husband had obtained occasionally during his training. This thunder bamboo was very difficult to grow. Not only did it require a lot of spiritual energy, but it also required a very high age. Generally, a hundred-year-old thunder bamboo could only be sold for two or three hundred low-grade spirit stones. If it was more than a thousand years old, it could be sold at a sky-high price. If it was ten thousand years old, it would be hard to come by. Leng Youran was very excited when she heard this. He had all these conditions. If he planted it in the space for a few years, he could harvest thousand-year-old thunder bamboo.
Moreover, she had heard from her mother that her father seemed to have thunder spiritual roots, so she said to the middle-aged woman, "I want these two too. It would be nice to take them back and plant them in the family." The middle-aged woman was happy to sell more. Leng Youran picked out a lot of spiritual medicine seeds and paid a total of twenty-six low-grade spirit stones. She stood up and walked forward, with several tails following her all the way.
Someone like her, young and with a low level of cultivation, was a fat sheep in the eyes of those casual cultivators! Furthermore, she was wearing a top-grade hair garment, and even her shoes were top-grade magical instruments. They really liked cultivators like her who were small and had a lot of spirit stones.
But these people were destined to be disappointed. After Leng Youran walked around these stalls, he saw a stall selling spiritual peaks. They were all ordinary spiritual peaks. Leng Youran bought a nest of spiritual peaks and two beehives, and left the place where the casual cultivators set up stalls. On the way back to the cave, he passed by a grocery store and bought two hundred jade bags to hold low-level spiritual medicines. One jade bag could hold two hundred spiritual medicines. He also sold two hundred jade boxes to hold high-level spiritual medicines.
She bought a thousand jade bottles for medicinal pills, two hundred wine jars, and five hundred jade bottles for monster blood, spending a total of three hundred and twenty low-grade spirit stones. The spirit stones she earned from selling things today were not enough to cover her purchases. Fortunately, her mother gave her a few hundred low-grade spirit stones before she left.
She didn't care about the little tail following behind her! She walked out of the market and returned to her temporary cave. The people behind her followed her all the way back to the cave, and when they realized there was no chance, they dispersed. After entering the cave, Leng Youran planted all the spiritual medicine seeds she had just bought today in the space, and picked all the mature spiritual medicines in the space, preparing to use some to practice alchemy. As for the spiritual energy in the yard, she saw that it was not bad, so she planted a batch of spiritual rice. After doing all this, she began to learn to refine pills. She did not leave the cave for three months.
