The three rested for a long time, but their hearts still pounded relentlessly, as if a vengeful spirit were knocking on their chest.
Xu Ni, who was lying on the ground, suddenly sat up and exchanged a glance with Shen Xian'er, who was sitting on the couch, and Jiang Xiaoyue, who was leaning against the door. They both laughed at the same time.
"Shall we begin the inventory?" Xu Ni asked in a low voice.
“Yes!” Jiang Xiaoyue nodded firmly.
Shenxian'er swallowed hard, got off the couch, and sat on the ground, looking on with anticipation.
The fish basket was left unattended; as a flying boat used for fishing and also Hua Lingshi's room, it naturally had a water storage tank.
The lake water that is sucked up automatically fills it, and there is a simple air exchange system inside to ensure that the fish do not lack oxygen.
They were taking inventory of the belongings of the five robbers.
The following are the findings:
Two low-grade first-tier magic swords;
One low-grade first-tier magic artifact (gold brick);
One first-tier medium-level magic artifact (Golden Net).
A first-tier low-grade robe, with built-in dust-cleansing, temperature-controlling, and mind-concentrating effects. After being fully absorbed by spiritual energy, it will trigger a water bullet when attacked by magic.
142 water-repelling talismans;
42 Water Arrow Talismans;
Nine Water Shark Talismans;
23 Lightness Amulets;
44 amulets;
56 Cleansing Talismans, 45 Water Sound Talismans (after being pasted, sound can travel through water), 6 Silence Talismans, 12 Fire-Attracting Talismans, and 5 Detection Talismans;
Three pieces of water and gold, each the size of a fist;
15 spirit stones;
Three books: "Three Essentials for Beginners in Weapon Refining", "Three Hundred Kinds of Monsters Around Shuijinfang", and "The Secret to Maintaining Youthful Appearance with Magic Power Without Using Beauty Pills";
A pioneering jade talisman;
The rest were worthless gold, silver, and pearls; I didn't look closely, but they probably weighed about ten kilograms.
"Gulp." The three swallowed hard.
Jiang Xiaoyue's breathing was hot and rapid as she asked, "Nizi, can you calculate how much it can sell for?"
Xu Ni's dream is to become a middleman, so she naturally has a clear understanding of prices.
She estimated the amounts one by one and said, "At least three hundred spirit stones!"
Three hundred spirit stones are worth 50 hanged ghosts—if a hanged ghost can be sold for 6 yuan, imagine the scene of 50 hanged ghosts, and even the immortal would be breathless.
After deducting expenses, farming yields a surplus of 2 spirit stones per year. To farm 300 spirit stones would take 150 years. Jiang Xiaoyue's hands trembled slightly.
Xu Ni said fiercely, "These are the prices at Qingyuefang. If talismans, water-gold, and magic artifacts were sold at Humingfang, they would cost at least 500 yuan!"
Murder for treasure, murder for treasure... The god's head was ringing like a bell.
We're rich! We're rich!
Xu Ni's expression gradually turned ferocious: "And if you add the anchovies and silver ringed snakes! Around eight hundred and fifty yuan!"
"...Oh my god." Shenxian'er was stunned.
Jiang Xiaoyue muttered expressionlessly, "Eight hundred spirit stones, 283 per person, plus 3 spirit crystals..."
Xu Ni looked like she wanted to devour someone, her five fingers clenched into claws: "Let's go to Humingfang to sell the talismans, water gold, and magic artifacts, then use the money to buy monster meat, and sell it at Qingyuefang when we get back!"
She paused.
"At least a thousand dollars!"
The room was deathly silent.
"No, no," Jiang Xiaoyue shook her head vigorously, "We can't go to Humingfang, it's too dangerous!"
“I have connections.” Xu Ni slowly put away her ferocious expression. “The shopkeeper’s younger brother is a squad leader of a caravan. We can go with them to Humingfang. I’ve already found out the price: one hundred spirit stones per trip.”
Jiang Xiaoyue shook her head again.
“He can protect us from the threat of rogue cultivators, but he himself is a threat. We’d rather earn less than take any more risks,” she said worriedly.
Xu Ni said urgently, "We can use magic swords and magical artifacts first, and we can also carry talismans with us. Unless someone is proficient in magic and has money, who are we afraid of?"
After she said that, things seemed really feasible, and Jiang Xiaoyue hesitated.
"Xian'er," she looked up, "what do you think?"
"I—" Shenxian'er was undecided.
She calmed herself, pondered for a moment, and slowly said:
"I can go, but first you need to give me spirit stones so I can buy a high-level talisman book. The deity promised me that he could quickly master any first-tier talisman, and with enough high-level talismans..."
“One is enough!” Xu Ni interrupted her. “Golden Light Talisman, Tier 1, Level 9, legend has it that it can withstand an attack from a Foundation Establishment cultivator!”
Shenxian'er looked at Jiang Xiaoyue.
Jiang Xiaoyue countered, "Are you confident?"
The fairy grasped the branch: "My Lord God?"
【Here's what we'll do, Fairy, give me some of your magic power, and I'll knock the other moon down from the sky. Then you'll have more faith in me, and you won't keep asking me questions.】
The deity is boasting again.
The fairy blushed: "I believe that a first-tier, level-nine talisman is no problem for you, my lord!"
"As long as it works..." Jiang Xiaoyue's resolve grew stronger, "we'll go!"
Xu Ni clenched her fist excitedly: "This is my first time reselling! With this money, I will definitely expand my business to the entire Wangyue Lake area, and even Zhuri Mountain!"
Jiang Xiaoyue said, "Distribute the magical artifacts and try to master them before Xian'er draws the golden light talisman."
"good!"
Two magic swords, one for Shen Xian'er and one for Xu Ni, and Jiang Xiaoyue took the gold brick as a hidden weapon.
The two originally intended to give the robes to the immortal, as a talisman master, they needed to be safer.
Shenxian'er refused, as she possessed a shield spell and gave the robe to Xu Ni.
“Nizi,” she said, “you will be dealing in goods in the future, enduring wind and rain, and living in the most dangerous conditions. Having a robe is essential, whether for cleansing or for safety.”
After repeatedly declining, Xu Ni happily accepted the robe.
