Chapter 27 Cang Li clenched his fists, continuously…
Cang Li clenched his fists, constantly telling himself that it wasn't worth getting angry. He should first find out why the price had increased; it couldn't have increased for no reason, could it?
Taiqing looked at Cangli. The human leader in front of him seemed to be in a great emotional state, and he seemed to have gotten angry for no reason just now.
Are all humans such capricious creatures?
Taiqing was puzzled.
Cang Li opened the shuttle, and this time there was a more detailed explanation.
[Shuttle: It can weave the clouds in the sky into cloth, which, once made into clothing, has the effect of flying and self-defense; it is an acquired magical weapon.]
Cang Li: ...The only thing she knows that can weave clouds into cloth is the Weaver Girl's shuttle. Could this be the Weaver Girl's shuttle?
Okay, let her try it out later. It's a magic weapon after all, 40 points is fine.
Cang Li swapped out the shuttle, mainly because she was afraid its price would go up again. After this experience, Cang Li felt that this collector was quite cunning. Was she afraid that she would keep the items and not replace them? She did indeed save some and kept one without replacing it, so that she would always have the right to use the collector's backpack and identification function.
But now it seems she has to switch, otherwise she'll lose money if the price goes up.
Most importantly, this is the primordial world, a world where cultivation is possible, and the backpack function can be completely replaced by a storage bag.
Cang Li thought for a moment and exchanged the potato and sweet potato seeds for a slanted loom. Although she didn't need it for the time being, what if the price went up later?
After replacing the slant loom, Cang Li regretted it a bit. The slant loom was just an ordinary one, and the price increase might have been a good thing.
Cang Li hesitated for a while, then decided that since she couldn't return the item, she might as well exchange it.
After the exchange, there were 143 gathering points left. Cang Li glanced at the Mist Mother Heart Sutra and Xuanyuan Sword on the fifth page. This time, clicking on them showed detailed information, indicating that this collector would be updated.
[Mist Mother: A superior spiritual treasure, shaped like a curtain, nine feet long. When unfolded, it's like opening a steamer, releasing mist that covers a hundred miles and envelops the universe. When retracted, all the mist returns.]
[Cultivation Method: This cultivation method is directly bound to the host upon redemption. It cultivates nature, and every action increases cultivation level.]
[Xuanyuan Sword: An innate magical treasure, originally a supreme artifact of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan. It can be used by the host after being exchanged.]
Cang Li thought the Mist Mother was a good thing, as it could conceal her tracks, so she had to get it. As for this cultivation method, Cang Li hadn't cared much about whether she cultivated it or not before, thinking it was from the primitive society. She didn't want to suffer for thousands of years. But now that she knew it was the prehistoric world, Cang Li's thoughts naturally changed. Moreover, judging from the introduction, the cultivation method was a good thing, and she wouldn't have to put in any effort to cultivate it.
Cang Li quickly exchanged the Mist Mother and the Heart Sutra. As for the Xuanyuan Sword, it was obviously meant for her to rent for 100 gathering points, and she would have to return it when the Yellow Emperor appeared, so there was no rush to exchange it.
After changing the items, Cang Li casually changed the remaining 8 matches on the first page, effectively clearing out the items on pages 1, 2, and 4. There were still 75 salt items on the third page, and the Xuanyuan Sword was left on the fifth page. There were also 55 gathering points remaining.
Cang Li clicked on the newly unlocked sixth page and took a look.
Threshing machine: used for threshing rice and wheat, limited to one purchase, 8 collection points.
Cang Li took a look and realized that this thing was the kind of manual rice threshing machine she had seen in her village when she was a child. You step on a pedal, hold the harvested rice ears on it, and use the toothed axle inside to remove the grains from the rice ears. It was quite suitable for her current needs.
Semi-open fan cart: Cleans dust and grass clippings mixed in with crops, limited to one purchase, eight collection points.
This fan is what working people call a windmill; it's a farm tool that they use.
Education Ruler: The holder is responsible for education. Limited to one purchase per person. 100 collection points.
Cang Li was stunned for a moment. This thing that looks like a ruler is so expensive!? It's the same price as the Xuanyuan Sword, so it must be a good item, but she can't afford it right now. Cang Li thought for a moment and decided to exchange it all for the items once she had enough gathering points.
Dragon Bone Waterwheel: Irrigation tool, limited to one purchase, 6 collection points.
1000 grams of corn seeds, collected at 6 points.
100 grams of chili seeds, collected at 3 points.
On the sixth page, there were three farm tools, a strange educational ruler, and seeds for two kinds of crops. Cang Li was a little worried. She should make a wish before clicking on the sixth page.
Cang Li doesn't need to exchange these items yet, because the rice and wheat haven't been harvested yet, and the chili peppers and corn will have to wait until they're harvested before exchanging them.
After turning off the collector, Cang Li pondered for a while. Just as he was about to take out his cultivation manual before the children got up, he looked up and saw Tai Qing.
Cang Li: ...
Cang Li patted his clothes, stood up, and said:
"You haven't left yet?"
Taiqing snapped out of her reverie and asked, "Has the young lady never thought about strengthening the human race?"
Cang Li shrugged: "I want to, but my mom won't cooperate."
Taiqing was silent for a moment, still not quite comfortable with the fact that the "mother" Cangli mentioned was his junior sister Nuwa.
Cang Li added, "So you can go back first, and come back decades later when my mother has come to her senses."
Taiqing glanced at the mountain opposite and said gently, "There isn't that much time."
Cang Li: ?
"What do you mean there isn't that much time left?" Cang Li couldn't help but ask curiously. Wasn't it said that time didn't count in the primordial world? A few decades was just a blink of an eye for the people of the primordial world.
Taiqing sighed, "The way of Heaven is predetermined, and Junior Sister Nuwa should not be lazy."
Cang Li pouted; she didn't care, it had nothing to do with her...
The thought had barely crossed Cang Li's mind when he suddenly felt a pang of fear. He looked around warily, but found nothing.
A cheerful voice came running out from behind: "Sister!"
Cang Li turned around and reached out his hand, saying, "What's the rush? Slow down."
Jie suddenly looked at Cang Li in horror: "Sister! Your hand!"
Cang Li looked down at her hands, and saw that her hands were beginning to appear and disappear, as if they were about to vanish.
Cang Li: ?
Taiqing followed their gaze, frowned slightly, raised her hand and grasped Cang Li's wrist, saying in a low voice, "Excuse me."
Cang Li didn't struggle. This sudden situation was a bit strange for her. This handsome white-haired guy was, after all, a future sage and skilled in calculation. It wouldn't be a loss to take a look.
After reading it, Taiqing seemed to understand something and said to Cangli with a pointed remark:
“Young lady, this matter is also related to you. No matter where you come from, you are still a human. If the human race had never existed in the first place, you would also go with the flow.”
The implication is that it's related to you; without humans, you wouldn't exist.
Cang Li understood perfectly and retorted defiantly:
"So what if it doesn't exist? It's not like I care."
Taiqing was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Is that really so?" Could it be that Heaven has made the wrong choice? Has a person who is completely unattached and impervious to reason truly arrived?
Cang Li hesitated, not because she didn't care, but because she had actually met many kind people in the process of paying off her debts: the landlady who reduced her rent, the sister who introduced her to part-time work, and the traffic policeman who helped her up when she accidentally fell while delivering food...
If what Taiqing said is true, then these people will no longer exist?
As if in response to Cang Li's thoughts, Cang Li's hand became increasingly transparent.
She was still hoping to cultivate herself to achieve immortality and live for a long time before seeing these people again.
Taiqing lowered her head slightly and looked at Cangli, saying, "Miss, the Tao follows nature, and all things follow the heart. You should follow your heart."
Cang Li snorted: "Don't you advocate governing by doing nothing?" She remembered the ideas of the Hundred Schools of Thought.
Taiqing smiled slightly: "How do you know that this is not inaction?"
Cang Li changed her mind; she wanted to keep the handsome white-haired man.
"Are you asking me to help persuade my mother?"
Cang Li asked Tai Qing directly. In her opinion, Tai Qing also wanted to become a saint, but he could not become a saint without human beings. So Tai Qing must need her help. Since he needed her help, he shouldn't be surprised if she made conditions.
Taiqing wanted to object, but seeing the slightly smug look in Cangli's eyes, Taiqing nodded and spoke somewhat hesitantly:
"Yes, I need your help, young lady."
There was a hint of amusement in his tone.
Cang Li raised her chin and said, "Fine, as long as you stay and serve me, I'll help you with this favor. My mother can't do anything about this rebellious daughter of mine."
Yes, Cang Li was a very perceptive person. She knew that Nuwa liked her and even loved her with maternal affection. Nuwa would grant her every request. People who are loved are always fearless, and Cang Li was not worried at all.
Taiqing didn't mind Cangli's use of the word "command," nodded in agreement, and then, as if they were old friends, took a stroll around the human territory and chose a small cave next to the large cave where Cangli lived as his residence.
Cang Li was truly amazed. He and the five children watched as Tai Qing stood on the mountain wall, casually pointed, and opened up a new cave. The expressions of the six of them were all very similar.
After Taiqing finished opening the cave, he cleared away the rubble inside, placed a futon on the stone bed in the cave, and turned around to see five curious little heads peering into the cave, as well as a human leader who was trying to cover up his presence by standing three feet away, pretending not to look, but actually stealing glances at him.
Noticing Taiqing's gaze, Cangli casually looked away.
Er is an outgoing person and couldn't help but ask:
"Brother, what's in your cave?" Taiqing looked not much older than Cangli. Er didn't know Taiqing's name, so he just called him "brother," a title Cangli had taught him before.
Taiqing withdrew his gaze from Cangli, looked at the few curious children in front of him, and stepped aside to make way, saying:
"You can go in and take a look for yourselves."
Taiqing was not a harsh or stingy cultivator; these few humans were the targets he wanted to teach, and also an opportunity.
Er dragged the curious group inside, but soon came out disappointed. There was nothing in the cave except a stone bed, without even any dry grass. This brother was really pitiful.
I crawled around inside, not afraid of bumping into things.
Jihejie also went in curiously for a stroll, then dragged Yu out, looking at Taiqing with a hint of sympathy. This person is so pitiful; he has no older sister, and there is no comfortable dry grass to sleep on in the cave.
