Chapter 111 Desire So, in one afternoon, they actually...
So, in the whole afternoon, they only walked less than half a street and didn't buy anything. Each of them only bought one or two items they liked, and spent all their time bargaining.
Wei Mubai and Lei Xiao followed behind them, completely speechless, their expressions blank.
They would rather the three of them spend money like water, pay the spirit stones for whatever they like and leave, rather than stand in front of a stall and haggle with the stall owner.
It’s not a question of face, it’s really...their time is precious!
How many important matters had Young Master Lei handled in this afternoon? How many high-level elixirs had Wei Mubai refined?
Aren’t those much more than the spirit stones they saved by bargaining?
But apart from what Wei Mubai said at the beginning, the two of them remained silent for the rest of the time, neither expressing any opinions nor making any suggestions.
Xu Hui and the other two don't need it either. Wouldn't it be better to ask people of the same sex instead of asking them?
The emotional value that girls provide is something they will never be able to understand. They won’t understand that kind of harmony! They will never understand!
Anyway, the three of them were having a great time strolling around. Since they were all monks, they had no problem with their physical strength, so they decided to continue strolling around.
Anyway, the inside of the magic instrument is as bright as a hundred days, and there is no difference between night and day.
"There are desserts over there, wow, so beautiful." How can you go shopping without eating? Wan Moxiao spotted the stall that specialized in selling beautiful desserts at a glance and pulled the two of them over.
There are quite a few female cultivators here, and everyone is very satisfied with the food. The food looks delicious.
Wan Moxiao didn't hesitate and asked the stall owner to take one of each. He then ran to other stalls and collected a lot of delicious food.
The five of them occupied a large square table, which was filled with various foods, some with spiritual power and some ordinary food, all of which looked very good without exception.
Yes, Wan Moxiao chose the food based on its appearance. She didn’t buy anything that didn’t look good but tasted good.
Monks can go without food for a long time. Since they have already practiced fasting, they can eat a lot and use their spiritual power to digest it at any time. They are the kind of big eaters that modern people envy the most, who can "never gain weight"!
Xu Hui and Wan Moxiao never had such an opportunity in their previous life. Now that they finally had the chance, they just ate to their heart's content.
Their attitude inspired Wei Muyan, and she also shared with them enthusiastically.
As for Lei Xiao and Wei Mubai, one was unwilling to eat these and waste his spiritual energy on purification, while the other was completely uninterested and lived a pure and simple life.
But they are not spoilers. When they enthusiastically share their food, they will give them a bite to give them some face and then make their comments.
What can I say about the review? It is precise and to the point, very literary, and the emotional value is also full.
The meal lasted two hours, and they had rested enough, so they continued their stroll.
This time, I am not just bargaining, but looking for something I like and buying it directly if I think it looks good. After all, I have already bargained for an entire afternoon, and it would be boring to play with it any further.
Xu Hui passed by a hair accessories stall and fell in love with a wooden comb at first sight.
For some reason, there was a comb next to it that was more beautiful, made of better material, and had a more unique shape, but she fell in love with it at first sight.
And there was a thought in her mind urging her: this is it! Buy it!
She even felt an itch in her heart. She had to get it! If she didn't buy it, she would regret it. The huge panic made her rush to the stall.
He stretched out his hand, his eyes fixed on the wooden comb.
Wan Moxiao was puzzled and pulled her, but failed to distract her at all.
Wei Mubai looked over and saw that they were just some ordinary hair accessories, so he didn't take them seriously.
Xu Hui's hand finally touched the wooden comb, but the next second, she picked up the jade hairpin shaped like a comb next to it, "How many spirit stones does this cost?"
"Daoyou really have good taste. This jade hairpin is not only beautiful in shape and made of special material, but also has a magical function."
"Oh?" Xu Hui looked around but didn't see anything magical.
"It can be inserted into the hair to fix the hairstyle. No matter what posture you use to fight, even if you fall into the water, as long as the hair is dry, it will return to the original hairstyle. How about it? Isn't it amazing?" The stall owner laughed.
Xu Hui couldn't help but nod. The hairpin that sets the makeup is really magical!
To say it is practical, not really, but for those who are lazy but love beauty, it has a bit of the effect of semi-permanent makeup and hair.
"Well, do you have any more? Give me one too," Wan Moxiao's eyes lit up.
As a modern person, she envied the various beautiful hairstyles in ancient times, but she was clumsy and couldn't learn them.
Every time she goes out, she asks her maid to help her comb her hair, but most of the time she is away for ten days, half a month, or even a year or two. She can't always bring a maid to comb her hair with her, right?
Moreover, fighting is inevitable in the world of cultivation, and hairstyles can easily become messy.
Xu Hui understood her distress and pulled her aside, whispering, "How about we customize a puppet that can style various hairstyles?"
Wan Moxiao's eyes suddenly lit up, "Only children make choices. I want both!"
Seeing that what they were talking about was interesting, Wei Muyan also joined in the fun, "I want one too."
"Then bring out all the fixed hairstyles you have," Wan Moxiao said generously, "We'll take care of them all."
"Okay," the stall owner's eyes lit up, and she immediately took out dozens of pieces from the storage space. These were originally just for her practice, and the shapes were relatively simple. She didn't expect to meet someone who knew the business.
It doesn’t matter if it’s simple, the simpler the better, because various styles need to be matched with various jewelry and magical instruments, and this simple one will not overshadow the others.
It's just because it's simple, there's not much difference between buying one and buying several. Even if it breaks, you can find a weapon refiner to customize it, and you can get a better one. It's even possible to design your own hairstyle.
But they still divided it up and bought it all, mainly for fun.
The stall owner was seldom met such straightforward people, especially since they appreciated her ideas and concepts. She became even more enthusiastic and started to promote her products. "I also have products that can fix makeup, make clothes spotless, and change the color of vestments..."
"Is there no change in the style of the robes?" Wan Moxiao asked.
"Look at what fellow Taoist said, the robes are covered with array patterns, so they cannot be easily changed. After wearing them, it is still possible to simulate the color," the stall owner said with a smile.
Her stuff is really thoughtful and she is also good at speaking.
Following her introduction, the three of them bought a bunch of miscellaneous items.
During this time, Xu Hui couldn't help but look at the comb. The voice in her heart kept urging her: Get it! I must get it!
Monks all believe in intuition, especially this strong intuition.
So Xu Hui endured it again and again, but finally couldn't hold it back anymore and asked, "What kind of wood is this comb made of? Does it have any special effects?"
The stall owner looked at her pointing at the wooden comb and quickly introduced it with a smile, "Daoyou have amazing vision. This wooden comb is not ordinary. It is made of Holy Soul Wood. I accidentally got a small section of it at the beginning. I thought of refining it into a cushion. People can sit on it to meditate and practice, which can calm their minds and achieve twice the result with half the effort. I didn't expect it to succeed and it turned into a comb. However, the effect of this comb is also extraordinary. Using it to cleanse the head can keep the mind clear and inspire inspiration. Refining tools, refining elixirs, and drawing talismans does not require inspiration. Even comprehending the skills requires inspiration. So it can also be considered a magical tool. Wearing it on your head will make you feel spiritual."
Xu Hui suddenly realized, isn’t this the effect of increasing understanding?
No wonder she was so eager to get it. Xu Hui now lacked nothing except understanding. There was no way. She had poor talent and few things to increase her understanding, and they were often only useful the first time.
"How many spirit stones does it cost?" Xu Hui asked.
"Hehe, this is also a unique item, one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones," the stall owner said with a smile.
"Can you give us a discount?" Xu Hui replied casually, "Look, we bought so much, we are regular customers, so you can give us a discount."
"Yes, and these too. If we buy them together, you can get a discount," Wan Moxiao, who cooperated with her tacitly, immediately joined in.
Wei Muyan also interrupted with a smile, "I think that lily hairpin is also good. Boss, give it a chance and let's pick one."
These were all the bargaining tactics that Wan Moxiao learned this afternoon, and she really knew how to put them into practice.
The stall owner smiled bitterly. "It's not that I don't want to sell it. It's just that this Holy Soul Wood was not easy to come by. A lot of fine materials were used in its refinement, so it's really not cheap. If I didn't need healing pills, I really wouldn't be willing to sell it for money."
Wei Muyan immediately understood what he meant. This was a pity to raise the price, so she immediately brought out another set of words, "Look, we have spent a lot of spirit stones here. At our age, we are under strict control by our families and have limited pocket money. One hundred thousand is not a small amount."
Seeing that she wanted to play, Xu Hui and Wan Moxiao did not interrupt her and let her talk.
Of course, this statement can only fool laymen. The stall owners, big or small, are graduates of design schools, and it is obvious that they are all wealthy.
That robe alone must be worth hundreds of thousands of mid-grade spirit stones, right?
But she couldn't bargain like that, so she said in a roundabout way, "Some time ago, my father went to the fish bone pile to look for materials and was injured by a raw bone fish. He hasn't recovered yet. I really need a second-level raw bone pill. That pill is not cheap. Three ladies, the price cannot be reduced. I am still waiting for the pill to save my life."
"How about this, I'll exchange the second-grade top-grade bone-growing pill with you, which costs about 80,000 low-grade spirit stones, and we'll make up the remaining 20,000. How about that?" Wei Muyan said excitedly.
The price of Shenggu Dan in the market is indeed 80,000, but in the Wei family, it is only worth 50,000, and Wei Muyan can refine it by herself, and the material cost does not exceed 10,000 or 20,000.
Of course, this is when her pill success rate is extremely high, almost reaching 90%.
Like most low-level alchemists, one furnace can only produce two or three pills, and the cost is about 50,000, but there is still some profit.
Therefore, the Wei family is very good to their own children, and they sell the pills at cost price.
Of course, the Wei family's alchemists are very powerful. They can make double or even several times the profit based on the cost price. That is their real skill and there is nothing to say.
The stall owner thought about it, felt it was feasible, and was about to nod.
However, before she could finish her words, a hand reached out from the side, took the wooden comb, and threw down 110,000 spirit stones. "I raised the price, and now it's mine."
"Hey, why are you like this?" Wei Muyan was dissatisfied. Seeing that the deal was about to be completed, someone intervened.
"You pay with one hand and receive the goods with the other. Who is like you? You are so stingy that you can't even bear to give up 100,000 spirit stones?" The woman said with contempt, then turned around and left.
Wei Muyan's face darkened and he was about to take action when Xu Hui stopped him.
She was surprised, "Didn't my sister-in-law want it?"
Xu Hui frowned. The feeling of wanting to snatch it back was particularly strong, so strong that... it was abnormal, and even a feeling of violence arose from the bottom of her heart.
Kill her and take it away!
