Chapter 110: Bargaining with the Little Fairy Begonia
Qiu Haitang has come this far and encountered countless difficulties, but she relied on her superb wisdom to overcome them bit by bit and also provided opportunities for countless sisters.
She could certainly take her current sisters to the Mu family to live a comfortable life, but it would only be them.
Qiu Haitang has her own aspirations. She knows how difficult life is for a female cultivator.
Since she has the ability to hold an umbrella for others, why not give it a try?
Anyway, with her qualifications, it would be difficult for her to ascend even with the resources of the Jing family, so she simply didn't pursue that.
The elixirs of the female cultivators of the Wei family were also rejected for similar reasons. They can only allow a few female cultivators to form infants, and their lifespans have indeed been increased, but what about the remaining independent cultivators?
Perhaps some people are born with divinity, and Begonia is one of them.
So she chose the city proposed by the Mu family and chose to shelter more female cultivators!
This is also the reason why she insisted on choosing Yuyang Mountain to build a city. The spiritual power is thin, so no one will come to grab it!
There are also high-level monks sent by the noble families to look after the ore, so safety is guaranteed!
The Mu family did not disappoint her expectations. Not only did they build six cities at the foot of Yuyang Mountain with top-notch equipment and took great pains to introduce spiritual energy vortexes into the cities, they also exchanged benefits to make other families agree that the Moonlight Stone would always be the property of Yuyang City headed by Begonia, and other families could not snatch it away.
Yes, Qiu Haitang did not establish a family, nor did he leave any descendants. Instead, after building the city, he used Moonstone as the pillar industry of Yuyang City.
In fact, rather than saying that Moonstone is the pillar, it is better to say that their design-oriented services are the reason for the booming development of this city.
There are only three types of people in the six cities of Yuyang: high-level monks who stay here to protect the magnolia veins, miners who stay here to mine magnolia ore and moonstone, and the rest are all designers.
But apart from the students of the design school who live in Yuyin City, most of the other designers are scattered around the world and only come back here for exchange meetings.
This time, Yuyang City has booked nearly one-tenth of the site at Venue 18 to showcase their outstanding designs this year, which is quite a big deal.
Those who were invited were students from design schools scattered across the country. They brought out their most proud works, rented stalls near the Yuyang City booth, and sold their masterpieces.
So it is not an exaggeration to say that Venue 18 is a gathering place for artists.
There is no female cultivator who doesn't like to shop here, no matter whether the things sold are practical or not, beauty is enough.
What's more, they are not only beautiful, but also colorful and have unique shapes. They are really a good place to broaden your horizons.
Wan Moxiao was busy setting up the wine tasting arena and had not had time to visit venue 18. When he saw Xu Hui, of course he wanted to take her with him.
When shopping like this, you naturally have to go with your bestie. It’s like modern girls holding hands and going to a jewelry store. Whether they buy anything or not is another matter, but they definitely have to go shopping.
And I only feel that way when I’m with girls!
Although Xu Hui and Wan Moxiao are not best friends yet, they are still better than others.
So she strongly invited her, and Xu Hui was still at the age of going shopping in jewelry stores with her best friends, so she naturally agreed.
Wei Muyan didn't grow up naturally, so she didn't understand how to get along with girls like this, not to mention that there was a generation gap between them.
But seeing that both of them looked excited, he also became interested.
Venue No. 18 did not disappoint them. As soon as they entered, it was colorful and beautiful.
The sunlight penetrates the thin layer of spiritual energy and transforms into wisps of fairy light, which falls on the dazzling stalls. Every item shines with extraordinary brilliance.
Every stall was so charming, and the merchandise was both beautiful and interesting. They looked at each one and were reluctant to leave.
Countless items such as accessories, robes, and magical instruments all exude unique charm and spiritual fluctuations.
Some stalls display ornaments carved from rare spiritual materials, which transform into light feathers that dance in the wind, or into lively spiritual beasts that appear lifelike. Not only are they extremely beautiful, they also have the miraculous effect of enhancing cultivation and warding off evil spirits.
The vestments area is even more dazzling. The materials are extraordinary and can resist external intrusions. After incorporating complex formations and runes, it also has the ultimate beauty.
The wearer can adjust the flow of spiritual power at will, gaining benefits while looking very beautiful.
They come in various styles, some are as ethereal as fairies, some are majestic and solemn, and each one is fascinating.
The magical instruments are not to be missed. From the small and exquisite flying swords and magic beads to the huge and complex formation plates and tripods, they are all made to be both practical and beautiful.
Before, Xu Hui had only seen Wei Mubai making elixirs, so she thought that alchemy furnaces were all that deep brown, large and heavy, very practical, and not beautiful enough.
But when I got here, I realized that I was really ignorant.
The materials include bronze, clay, crystal, amethyst, animal bone...
The styles are even more bizarre, from the traditional tripod furnace to the kitchen stove style, the volcanic eruption shape, the fish body, the dragon body, the phoenix body...
Xu Hui was surprised. "Is there any special reason for designing it like this?"
The stall owner was puzzled, "Isn't it pretty?"
"...Does it look good?" she asked uncertainly.
"It's all good-looking," the stall owner affirmed. "Don't you feel happy when you see such a beautifully shaped alchemy furnace? If you're in a good mood, your success rate will go up! Fellow Daoist, alchemy is a very boring job. You have to learn to adjust your work!"
Xu Hui was speechless. "Didn't you add the Happy Flame Stone to make it feel so good?"
The Flame Stone is a mineral that can soothe people's hearts and make them feel happy. It is the companion stone of the Flame Beast and grows on its back. When it covers the entire back, the Flame Beast will jump into the magma from which it was born.
The Flame-Loving Stone will be vaporized and become magma, and the Flame-Loving Beast is a unique spiritual beast born from the magma, and it cannot leave the magma range in its entire life.
After leaving, the flames in your body will gradually go out and eventually turn into a handful of ashes.
The body of the Flame-Happy Beast is thousands of degrees hot, making it very difficult to catch. It is also difficult to dig the Flame-Happy Stone out of its back while it is still alive, because it will die if dug out.
Therefore, this Happy Flame Stone is very rare, but its ability to keep people in a happy mood makes monks flock to it.
Who doesn’t want to be happy all the time? As long as you are happy, you will have fewer inner demons.
Monks usually carry the Happy Flame Stone with them or place it in their caves for practice, but few people use it to refine weapons.
But his idea is also good. Refining weapons, making elixirs, drawing talismans, etc. are all boring and tedious tasks. Sometimes they require sleepless nights for several months. Having this thing can help him stay in a good mood, which is indeed not bad.
"So, fellow Daoist, take a look at this alchemy furnace. The purple crystal phoenix, when the fire is burning, is like a phoenix reborn from the ashes. It is magnificent and beautiful. At the end, it will emit a cry, indicating that the elixir is ready. That feeling is indescribable, indescribable!"
Yes, that is really beautiful. The red flames and the transparent amethyst body of the phoenix are simply beautiful.
Xu Hui really wanted to try it, and before she knew it, she reached out, "How much?"
"Not expensive, just 20,000 low-grade spirit stones," the stall owner immediately smiled happily.
"How much?" Xu Hui couldn't believe it. "This is just a first-grade alchemy furnace!"
You can only refine elixirs below the Foundation Establishment Stage, yet you want 20,000 spirit stones from me. Do you think that’s outrageous?
She quietly withdrew her hand, "It's not necessary to refine this pill."
She lives in the Wei family and has a fiancé named Wei Mubai, who has so many pills that she can't finish them all.
In fact, she rarely takes pills. Apart from healing her wounds, she has no other needs. Her cultivation level is increasing fast enough, so there is no need to rely on external objects, right?
Seeing that she was about to back out, the stall owner quickly stepped up his promotion, "It's not just beautiful, it also has a high yield rate. There's an eighth-level chance of producing a top-grade pill, and very few waste pills. Why do you think I want to refine it into the shape of a phoenix?"
"Is it just for looks?" he asked himself, his voice surging with passion. "No! It's to borrow a trace of phoenix energy to create the elixir. Because of this unique shape, the quality of the refined elixir is exceptionally good!"
Xu Hui was very suspicious that he was making false advertising!
But Wei Muyan believed it and pulled Xu Hui's sleeve, "Sister-in-law, it is indeed very beautiful. How about we buy one?"
Xu Hui turned to look at her and asked a soul-searching question, "Do you want to learn alchemy?"
"Yes, I'm a member of the Wei family," Wei Muyan blinked innocently.
Behind him, Wei Mubai asked calmly, "Is the sixth-grade alchemy furnace I gave you not working?"
"It works," Wei Muyan stuck out her tongue guiltily, "but it's not pretty!"
Xu Hui, "Buy!"
She understood Wei Mubai's straight male aesthetic, which must be the kind of heavy earthy color design. It must also be that he spent a lot of time and effort to collect countless high-quality materials and finally refined it.
But she understands the little girl's thoughts better. Who doesn't want something pretty?
Why sit in front of a dusty furnace all day when you can make the elixir beautifully?
Wei Mubai just glanced at her, then looked away without saying a word.
Xu Hui’s random interpretation: I don’t understand, but I respect!
She extended her index finger and said, "One price, ten thousand spirit stones, I'll buy it!"
The stall owner's face immediately fell, "Auntie, I added the Happy Flame Stone to this. Ten thousand spirit stones are not enough to buy the materials."
"It's the Xiyan Stone Powder, right? Just 10,000, no more!" Wan Moxiao also came from the modern era, so of course he knew the principle of bargaining for half the price, so he immediately helped out.
"No! No! This is absolutely not possible!" The stall owner shook his head repeatedly.
Wan Moxiao immediately turned around and said, "That one over there looks like a Vermillion Bird, it's also very beautiful. Or maybe that koi fish? I think koi fish have the best luck. Why not buy that one? With the koi fish's luck, the success rate will definitely be higher!"
"That's true," Xu Hui nodded repeatedly. Using magic to defeat magic, Wan Moxiao used the stall owner's rhetoric to leave the stall owner speechless.
So they went to the stall with the koi furnace.
The stall owner looked troubled and entangled, his face almost wrinkled into a bun. Finally, when they were about to approach, he reluctantly said, "Thirteen thousand, no less!"
Xu Hui and Wan Moxiao exchanged a glance, then turned their heads and said in unison, "Ten thousand!"
The stall owner immediately sat down and ignored them, obviously having given up on the business.
"What should I do? Do you want more?" Wan Moxiao winked at her.
Xu Hui glanced at Wei Muyan and asked in a low voice, "Do you like it?"
Wei Muyan found it very strange and lowered her voice and said, "I like it!"
Maybe she would only use it once or twice after buying it. After all, it takes a long time to develop a feel for a suitable alchemy furnace.
She already had the best; the rest were just additions or collections.
But this experience of shopping with girls and helping each other bargain is really rare.
She is the third daughter of the Wei family, how could she have experienced this!
It doesn’t matter whether the item is worth it or not; the most important thing is the pleasure of bargaining when buying it!
Xu Hui said, "My sister really likes it, and I can't refuse her. Give me a fair price, and I'll take it away at 110,000."
"Twelve thousand! No less!" the stall owner gritted his teeth!
"Deal!" Xu Hui blinked, paid the money, took the goods and left.
Not far away, the three of them looked at each other and couldn't help but burst out laughing. Saving one or two thousand spirit stones was just a drop in the bucket for them.
But the fun of bargaining during shopping is really interesting.
At least, Wei Muyan, the fairy-like character, was aroused by them and bargained enthusiastically all the way. It didn’t matter what she bought, the bargaining experience was great!
