Two uninvited guests came to Piaomiao City that day. They were two women, wearing loose robes and thick veils on their heads. Their age and appearance could not be seen.
"Senior Sister Yuexi, as a county prince, you are in charge of nine cities. Do you have to personally inspect every change of mayor in every city?"
"I don't care about the change of city lords, but the tax revenue from these cities is the foundation of Yuexi County. I must keep a firm grasp of it, so it is necessary to check it out at this time."
"No wonder Yuexi County is so powerful. Master said you are the most outstanding disciple in Kunlun Mountain."
"Junior Sister Haitang, you are Master's most proud disciple. What do you think? Do you have any ideas for establishing a new prince?"
"I want to be the queen, but now all the cities in the Jiuzhou Continent have been divided up. Where can I establish a county king? Unless Senior Sister can lend me a few cities, such as a barren place like Piaomiao City. When I grow stronger, I can return a wealthy city to you."
"Haha, I've said before, these cities are the foundation of Yuexi County, so we won't lend them to you. If you want, just send troops to attack them."
"Oh, how dare I start a war with you, Senior Sister? Putting aside our fellow disciples' friendship, Yuexi Commandery is ranked first in the State of Zhao. Who would be so foolish as to attack you?"
"That may not be the case. In recent years, the seven empires have been constantly fighting each other in their fight for spiritual vein resources. A large-scale war is very likely to break out. If Junior Sister Haitang makes arrangements in advance and intervenes at a critical moment, she may be able to get a share of the spoils."
"Senior Sister Yuexi is really stingy, but the information you provided is very solid. Then I will go and borrow a few cities from Senior Brother Geli."
"Haha, Senior Brother Ge Li is not necessarily more generous than me. As I said before, if you want cities, the only way is to start a war and seize a few cities from other princes."
"My life is so difficult. I just started my career and wanted to do something, but I found that there is no place for me in this big world."
"You can come and help me! I will make you a general and prime minister, second only to the emperor and above everyone else."
"I'm unwilling to accept this. Master has only accepted three disciples in his life. The eldest brother and the second sister are both princes. I, the last disciple, can't be too bad!"
"Haha, then Junior Sister Haitang, you must work hard."
…
As they were talking, the two arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion and quickly noticed the sign.
"Spiritual Spring Treasure! When did such a valuable commodity appear in this barren land?"
"Could it be a scam? Let's go in and take a look. If they are blatantly deceiving people in front of the City Lord's Mansion, then this matter will be a big deal."
Inside the shop, Chen Dabing was lying on a throne, rocking. Beside him was a beautiful girl in her twenties, who was peeling grapes and feeding them to him. It was Nan Huanuo.
Although she also consumed spirit stones to practice every day, she was not as hardworking as Ting'er, so she was always the one who stayed with Chen Dadan.
"Shopkeeper, you have a spiritual spring treasure for sale. Is it real or fake?"
Nan Huanuo quickly stood up and said, "This shop is run by the City Lord's Mansion. This is the new City Lord. I guarantee you we will never cheat anyone."
She looked at the two women and felt that they were unfathomable and impossible to see through. She couldn't help but feel a little wary and asked, "You two sisters look unfamiliar. Are you from outside?"
"Yes, we came here while traveling and saw a sign saying that spiritual springs were for sale. We were curious and asked if we could inspect the goods?" Yuexi replied.
Chen Dadan also stood up and said, "The Lingquan treasure is indeed for sale, but it is expensive. You need to be able to pay a thousand spirit stones to inspect it."
Recently, there are always people who take the excuse of inspecting the goods and feel the surging spiritual energy. In fact, they can't afford a thousand spirit stones. Therefore, Chen Dadan established a rule to inspect the spirit stones first and then the goods.
Anyway, it's an exclusive business, so service attitude is not important.
"Hey, Senior Sister, the City Lord is worried that you can't come up with a thousand spirit stones!"
Yue Xi sneered and said, "I don't have any ordinary spirit stones. I wonder if this can be used to buy your spirit spring?"
She took out a stone that was longer, bigger and more crystal clear than the spirit stone.
Chen Dadan shook his head and said, "Our store only accepts spiritual stones and no other stones. I'm not a member of the Strange Stone Collection Association..."
Nan Huanuo beside him interrupted him and said, "We'll take it." She pulled Chen Dabing and whispered, "This is a top-grade spirit stone. It can only be found in rich mines. It's very rare. One top-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for a thousand ordinary spirit stones in the market, and even more on the black market."
"Wow! So valuable." Chen Dabing also whispered: "You have to look carefully, these two don't look rich, don't be fooled."
"Haha!" Junior Sister Haitang laughed, "Senior Sister, did you hear that? The City Lord said we are poor."
Prince Yuexi was also speechless. He threw the high-grade spirit stone to Nan Huanuo and said, "Little sister, you know the goods. Check it carefully!"
Nan Huanuo took the top-grade spirit stone and immediately felt the rich spiritual energy contained in it. He said to Chen Dadan, "Sir, this is a genuine top-grade spirit stone."
Chen Dadan's eyes lit up, not minding the awkwardness of looking down on others just now. This was a fat sheep coming to his door! He said, "Okay, take out the spiritual spring and inspect the goods."
Nan Huanuo took out a small jade box and opened the lid. Suddenly, a surge of spiritual energy overflowed, and the bottleneck that had been imprisoned for many years showed signs of loosening... Oh no, it was too exaggerated to describe it like this in front of the Golden Core Queen. The spiritual spring was most effective for the Qi training stage, but had no effect on the foundation building stage, let alone the Golden Core stage.
However, Prince Yuexi's eyes still lit up. The Lingquan treasure was a rare item no matter what. The queen herself had no need for it, but it was very valuable for training her subordinates.
As one of the three princes under Emperor Zhao, she founded Yuexi County, and had a group of ministers and a large number of personal guards under her.
In fact, the mayors of the nine cities and the clan leaders under them are also her subjects, but they are not her confidants. The real confidants are the royal guards, who are loyal enough to follow her in rebellion.
So he immediately said, "I want this spiritual spring."
Nan Huanuo closed the small jade box, handed it to her, and took the top-grade spirit stone into his pocket.
Junior Sister Haitang said anxiously, "It's actually a real spiritual spring treasure. Senior Sister, you have so many talented people under you, you shouldn't mind having one more foundation-building cultivator. I'm eager to recruit talented people, so please give me this spiritual spring!"
Prince Yuexi immediately pocketed the small jade box and said, "Junior sister, you are wrong. I am also eager to recruit talented people. The loyalty of a Foundation Establishment cultivator cultivated by myself and one recruited from outside is incomparable. Therefore, the Spiritual Spring Treasure is something you can only come across by chance. Once you come across it, I will buy it no matter how much it costs."
Junior Sister Haitang stamped her feet anxiously: "Senior Sister, you are so stingy. If I had known earlier, I should have bought it first."
Chen Dadan said from the side: "You are so anxious, why don't you ask me if I have a second spiritual spring for sale?"
