"Since you won't let me return them, then I can't accept these spirit stones either," Lin Jingge said seriously.
Seeing that Lin Jingge was determined, Tang Cheng could only put the spirit stones away, but her eyes remained fixed on Lin Jingge.
"I only have grape seeds."
Spiritual plants are quite different from ordinary seeds. These grape seeds were specifically purchased by Lin Jingge for the purpose of cultivating spiritual fruits.
However, it seems like a mutation has occurred, or it could be because her cultivation level has improved, which has led to an increase in the spiritual energy contained in the grapes.
"What a pity, I thought I had some good oral nutrition..." Tang Cheng said with some disappointment, and then popped another grape into her mouth.
When I reached for the bunch of grapes on my lap, I found they were gone.
She spat out the last grape seed from her mouth.
Seeing Lin Jingge had returned to her quiet reading mode, a thought suddenly struck him, and he slammed his hand on the table and stood up: "Gege, I know how to get the seeds!"
"How do I obtain it?" Lin Jingge looked up from the book and glanced at it.
“We can trade at the night market!” Tang Cheng smiled, her eyes crinkling.
"night market?"
Before Lin Jingge could react, Tang Cheng grabbed her hand and ran outside.
The evening clouds on the horizon indicate dusk; it will soon be dark.
"Where are we going?" Lin Jingge was practically being dragged along by Tang Cheng.
"Let's go to the night market! Sister Wan told me this secretly before she left. The things at the night market are much more reliable than the stalls we see at the entrance."
After sunset, a large, flat area behind the Trial Tower became lively.
When Lin Jingge and her companion arrived, both sides of the area were almost completely occupied.
Those who are particular will set up a stall, while those who are less particular will simply lay a rag on the ground and start placing their things on it.
"There's an empty seat over there, let's go!" Tang Cheng had sharp eyes and spotted the empty space not long after they walked.
She pulled Lin Jingge along and ran over.
"Where are we...?" Lin Jingge looked around and asked hesitantly.
Just then, someone walked by.
The person had initially intended to walk straight ahead upon seeing others, but stopped after hearing Lin Jingge's words.
He said, "If you're not selling anything, then give this place to me."
"We're here to sell things, you should go somewhere else," Tang Cheng quickly said.
The person didn't say anything more and went straight to find an empty seat.
"What we sell...you don't want to..."
"Yes! Just what you think! We'll sell spirit fruits. You're short of spirit stones, so we can also exchange them for some spirit plant seeds."
Lin Jingge glanced at Tang Cheng and smiled helplessly: "But all I have are grape seeds."
"Then let's sell grapes!" Tang Cheng made the decision, then took out a cloth and spread it on the ground. She also took out two stools for Lin Jingge to sit on.
Seeing that her movements were swift and seamless, Lin Jingge smiled and shook her head, but didn't say anything to her.
After sitting down on the stool, he took out two seeds of the Spirit Grape.
Just as she was about to encourage the sprouting, Tang Cheng stuffed a lot of spirit stones into her arms.
"These are for you to replenish your spiritual energy," Tang Cheng said with a smile, sitting next to Lin Jingge.
Looking at the spirit stones in her arms, this amount was probably all that Tang Cheng had left.
"You have to trust me so much to give me your entire fortune, aren't you afraid of losing money?"
"No way! As long as there's a bunch of grapes, we won't lose money!"
Lin Jingge stopped talking and focused on encouraging the grapes to grow.
Grapes grown with the help of spiritual power are not like spiritual plants planted in the soil; they do not have a sustainable growth cycle.
After the grapevine bears fruit, it withers quickly, and each seed will only produce one bunch of grapes.
This is the result of Lin Jingge's several attempts; such grapes contain a lot of spiritual energy.
Tang Cheng glanced sideways at Lin Jingge's actions.
What was originally a tiny seed gradually sprouted in Lin Jingge's hands, and soon vines grew, then flowered and bore fruit. The vines withered quickly, leaving only a bunch of dark purple grapes.
The grapes fell into Lin Jin's hands, and the green light in his hand disappeared the moment the grapevine withered.
"Here, you try some first." Lin Jingge held up the bunch of grapes and waved it in front of Tang Cheng's eyes.
"You're so fast!" Tang Cheng said in surprise, reaching out to pick one and taste it.
Her almond-shaped eyes sparkled as she looked at Lin Jingge: "That's right! It's still the same taste!"
After saying that, he turned around and saw that there was already a person standing in front of him.
Judging from their appearance, they had obviously been standing there for a while.
"Are you selling these grapes?" He had watched with his own eyes as Lin Jingge used her spiritual power to help the grapes grow.
It seems to be similar to the practices of the elders worshipped in his family.
Thinking of the spiritual fruit that the elder had nurtured, he subconsciously swallowed.
"Sell, sell, sell!" Business was coming in, and before Lin Jingge could say anything, Tang Cheng quickly spoke up.
"How many spirit stones would this whole string cost?"
When asked about the price, Tang Cheng hesitated again.
He took the grapes from Lin Jin, looked at them, and for a moment didn't know what price to set.
However, level four spirit fruits are generally priced at over a hundred mid-grade spirit stones.
This bunch of grapes is so big, and it tastes much better than the level four spiritual fruits she's eaten before.
"Three hundred mid-grade spirit stones!" Tang Cheng hesitated for a moment before giving this price.
"Wow, that's expensive?!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Cheng glanced at the other person several times.
That shouldn't be the case. This person is wearing very expensive-looking robes and is one of the wealthiest people among the new students.
You think 300 mid-grade spirit stones is expensive?!
"Not expensive at all. These grapes are level four or higher spiritual fruits, and such a big bunch. How can you say it's expensive at only three hundred mid-grade spirit stones? If you weren't my classmate, I would have asked for five hundred mid-grade spirit stones." Tang Cheng lied without batting an eye.
Lin Jingge, who was sitting next to her, was picking out seeds in her palm. When she heard Tang Cheng's bluffing, she couldn't help but look up at Tang Cheng.
Seeing the other party's oval face full of smiles, showing no sign of guilt in trying to deceive people, he seemed very much like a shrewd businessman.
Lin Jingge only glanced at it and then stopped looking. She didn't say anything, letting Tang Cheng sell grapes while she continued to select seeds. However, she put her ears together, wanting to hear how Tang Cheng would try to fool the other party.
"A level four spirit fruit?! You're not kidding me?" The man was skeptical. Although he said he didn't believe it, he had already started taking out spirit stones.
"Of course I'm not lying to you. Sell it and eat it in front of me, then see if it's really a fourth-grade item. If it's not, I'll give you back double the spirit stones!"
Tang Cheng spoke up.
Since that's what they've said, the man didn't hesitate. He paid the spirit stone, took the grape, picked one, and popped it into his mouth.
