Junior Sister Haitang asked expectantly, "Excuse me, Lord City Lord, do you have any second spiritual springs for sale in your shop?"
Chen Dadan shook his head and said, "No."
Junior Sister Haitang's face was filled with frost: "You still want me to ask if you don't have any?"
Chen boldly said, "According to the procedure, you should have asked!"
With a puff of laughter, Prince Yuexi said, "The Lingquan treasure can only be found in ancient ruins. However, the ancient ruins are too dangerous, and even Jindan masters dare not easily enter. Therefore, it has always been a rare item. It is a great fortune for this city lord to be able to sell a portion."
Chen Dabao said, "I haven't finished yet. The rules of this store are that we only sell one bottle of Lingquan every day until it's sold out. You can come back the next day to buy more."
"Can I come back to buy it the next day?" Junior Sister Haitang asked, "Will you have spiritual springs in your store tomorrow?"
Chen Dabao said, "That's right. We'll sell one per day until they're sold out. If you still want to buy, then hurry up tomorrow! By the way, please queue up in order. If you violate the order, you will be disqualified from purchasing."
Prince Yuexi said, "If there's still spiritual springs to sell, there's no need to wait until tomorrow. I'll take as many as you can get."
Junior Sister Haitang said, "I want some too. I'll take as many as I can."
Chen Dadan shook his head and said, "Our store is closed today. We are not doing business. Nan Huanuo, please show up."
Nan Huanuo responded crisply, "Alright, please come in, sisters. I'm going to close the shop."
Prince Yuexi and Junior Sister Haitang looked at each other, and at Nan Huanuo's urging, they walked out of the shop and watched it close.
Junior Sister Haitang asked, "Why don't you reveal your identity? Is that mortal really the new Lord of Piaomiao City?"
Prince Yuexi said, "I haven't figured out the situation yet! Let's wait and see. Does he really have a second spiritual spring? We'll see tomorrow."
Leaving aside the inn where the two of them stayed, Nan Huanuo asked in confusion inside the shop, "Sir, these two women must be wealthy, considering their origins. Why did you suddenly set a new rule, limiting the sale to only one serving of spiritual spring water per day?"
Chen Dadan said, "They have extraordinary origins, but also unknown ones. You told me that the seven empires of the Jiuzhou Continent could go to war at any time. If a war really breaks out, the spiritual springs will be a vital strategic material. If a large amount of spiritual springs is sold to the enemy, it will be aiding the enemy and disadvantageous to the State of Zhao. But we can't not sell them either. We need spiritual stones, so we came up with this rule on the spur of the moment. Only one piece can be sold per day. This gives us time to find out their origins."
Nan Huanuo's face was full of admiration: "Sir, you are really smart."
Chen Dabing chuckled and said, "Let's go find your master. She might know the origins of these two women."
Fairy Nishang has been practicing diligently and has sufficient resources for practice. She is now in the second stage of the Foundation Establishment Period. After hearing their description, she was also confused and had no idea where the two people came from.
"Master, this is a top-grade spirit stone of excellent quality. I used to manage a spirit mine, so I recognize it." Nan Huanuo took out a stone that was longer and larger than ordinary spirit stones, and was crystal clear and colorful. It was the stone that was traded today.
Fairy Nishang examined it carefully and said, "It is indeed a top-grade spirit stone. It is a rare commodity. Our mines can only produce one in several years. Only rich mines produce more."
Chen Dabao asked, "Is it faster to practice with this?"
Fairy Nishang said: "At least the speed of cultivation will be increased several times, but because it is expensive, one thousand ordinary spirit stones can be exchanged for one high-grade spirit stone, so consuming high-grade spirit stones for cultivation is too extravagant. Even a Jindan master would not dare to do so."
Chen Dadan said, "This shows that those two women are indeed of extraordinary status."
"I will personally receive them tomorrow. Since Nan Huanuo cannot see through their cultivation, they must be at a very high level, or they are wearing equipment that can conceal their cultivation."
The next morning, the shop opened. Nan Huanuo opened the door and saw two women already lined up. Prince Yuexi was in front, and Junior Sister Haitang was behind. The latter stomped her feet and said, "Senior Sister, how can you be so disregarding of your status! You...are already lining up before daybreak."
Prince Yuexi said: "Haha, what does status mean in the face of interests? Junior sister, you are still too young."
"Huh? There's a beautiful female Foundation Establishment cultivator in the shop. Could she be the new city lord?"
Fairy Nishang still couldn't see through them, so she bowed humbly and said, "My name is Nishang, and I'm the leader of the Red Robe Sect in Yuexi County. I haven't asked you two seniors for advice yet."
Junior Sister Haitang said, "This Nishang Sect Master is really polite. Yesterday we were chased out by a little girl!"
Prince Yuexi said, "I remember that the leader of the Red Clothes Sect was still in the Qi Training Stage not long ago, but now he is in the second stage of Foundation Establishment. His progress is amazing! I guess it must be the effect of the spiritual spring."
Fairy Nishang was even more humble. You couldn't see through her, but she could see through you at a glance. It was obvious that her cultivation was far superior to hers. She said, "My success in building my foundation is due to the effect of the spiritual spring. Senior, you already purchased a portion of the spiritual spring yesterday. If you purchase again today, please identify yourself."
"Oh?" Prince Yuexi was very curious. "If I don't reveal my identity, I can't buy anything? Does your store have such a rule?"
Chen Dabing was not so good-tempered. He said, "This is a new rule of our store. Whoever reveals his identity first will be eligible to make a purchase today."
Junior Sister Haitang spoke quickly and said, "I am Haitang, a disciple of Kunlun Mountain."
Kunlun Mountain is one of the largest sects in the Jiuzhou Continent, oh no, it should be called the Immortal Sect. Compared with the six major sects in Piaomiao City, this is the holy land for immortal practitioners. The leader of the Immortal Sect is said to be a land immortal, with tens of thousands of disciples.
The immortal sects are transcendent forces that run parallel to the imperial forces. Some immortal sects exclusively support one empire, some support several empires at the same time, and some even support all empires.
This is easy to understand. If you support one country exclusively, you will prosper and suffer together. If you support several empires at the same time, it means you are putting your eggs in several baskets. No matter which empire becomes stronger, you will benefit. Only those who support all empires are truly abiding by the rules of the immortal gate.
The immortal sect does not care about worldly affairs and does not fight for power. It is just a holy place for cultivating immortals. As for which force the disciples join, it does not matter. Kunlun Mountain is such a holy place.
Fairy Nishang immediately became more respectful and said, "The Kunlun Mountain family is a famous and righteous sect, and they are from the same lineage as the queen of this dynasty. They can be sold to her."
Chen Dabing didn't waste any words and gestured to Nan Huanuo to take out a portion of spiritual spring.
Junior Sister Haitang was overjoyed and also took out a high-grade spirit stone. They happily completed the transaction and then asked, "Will your store still sell spirit springs tomorrow?"
Chen boldly said, "Sell it. One a day, until they sell out."
Junior Sister Haitang didn't wait for him to see her off. She took Senior Sister's hand and walked out, saying, "I understand. We have to get up early tomorrow so we can queue up."
Prince Yuexi was about to say something, but Junior Sister Haitang whispered, "Senior Sister, you're not going to reveal your identity, are you? You're the queen. If your subjects knew you queued up to buy the spiritual spring this morning and still didn't get it, you'd be so embarrassed."
Prince Yuexi also sent a message: "Since I have nothing to do, let's wait and see! I'm even more curious about this new city lord."
