Chapter 96: Big Purchases In those transactions, no matter how normal it seems...
In those transactions, seemingly normal conversations all had one purpose: to obtain information!
That's really funny. No wonder Wei Mubai was so sure that nothing major happened in the Demon Realm four years ago.
With the intelligence gathering capabilities of tens of thousands of cultivators, what else can the demons do that can escape the detection of the Wei family?
I guess it's the same for the Mu family and the Gongyang family. Small matters are fine, but they must keep each other informed of major events.
Sure enough, when I followed Wei Mubai to the office area at the back, a Nascent Soul cultivator came to receive me.
After Wei Mubai gave a few instructions, he brought out a large amount of sorted information, which amounted to more than a thousand jade slips.
It contains all the major and minor events that happened in various realms four years ago, as many as hundreds of thousands of items, but they have all been indexed, so basically most of them can be eliminated with just a scan of the spiritual sense.
Xu Hui looked at a few of them with great interest, then paused.
The contents of this jade slip are about the mortal realm in the human world, and some of them are actually related to the Xu family.
Yes, the Xu family of the original owner Xu Shan!
Xu Hui glanced at Wei Mubai, so her identity was actually exposed the first time she appeared in front of him?
In fact, she had guessed this. Apart from anything else, with Wei Muheng's abnormal calculation level, how could he possibly hide it?
Without saying anything, she looked directly at the situation of the Xu family.
The first is Xu Shan’s biased grandparents and the situation of their family.
Because Xu Lan entered the Mu family with the help of the original owner, Xu Shan's grandparents and their family also caught the attention of the Xu family, and more resources were allocated to them.
This had already attracted the attention of other branches. In addition, they thought that with Xu Lan around, the family was going to rise, so they couldn't help but act arrogant, which caused some people to dislike them.
When the news of Xu Lan's death got back, people started to cause trouble. The resources that had been allocated were snatched away, and Grandfather Xu's cultivation was also wasted.
He was already old, and his family's hopes of rising to prominence were dashed. In a fit of anger, his illness worsened and he died.
During his illness, in order to save him, the only supporter of the Xu family, after all, apart from him, there was no one else with spiritual roots in the Xu family, all the family assets were spent.
After his death, the remaining two families fell apart and left Xujia Village to make a living. It is estimated that after leaving the Xu family's sphere of influence, their descendants will always be ordinary people, and even if they have spiritual roots, they will have no chance to test them out.
After all, how could other families be kind enough to test them?
But I have to leave, because the people I offended before may cause trouble, and staying may lead to the destruction of my family.
As for Grandmother Xu, neither family cared about her and left her in Xujia Village. The two families packed up their things and secretly ran away in the middle of the night.
She was able to survive thanks to the charity of her sixth cousin.
Before Xu Hui left, she left the original owner's spiritual field and seven-leaf Epiphyllum to her sixth uncle's family. They were very kind and returned them to Grandmother Xu.
It’s just that Grandma Xu is old, and it’s extremely difficult for her to take care of the house, just like the original owner when she was a child. But in order to survive, she can only endure it day by day.
Seeing this, Xu Hui couldn't help but smile. This was probably retribution.
She didn't know whether the original owner was happy to see Gao, but she was quite happy anyway.
Grandfather Xu was very selfish and sacrificed the original owner's family for the so-called family interests.
But before he died, he gave up all hope. The Xu family will never rise again!
Grandma Xu was also heartless. She watched helplessly as the original owner, a child, struggled to survive, and now she had to live such a life too.
In addition, there are the two families of the original owner's uncles and aunts. Uncle Xu is the father of Xu Lan and the one who benefited from it. However, because Xu Lan became proud, his leg was broken.
Uncle Xu was not physically injured, he was just very poor.
Xu Hui asked the Nascent Soul cultivator if there was any follow-up to the Xu family?
The Nascent Soul cultivator immediately took out a jade slip from his storage bag.
Xu Hui wanted to laugh. After all, her origin was probably an open secret.
It is hard to say whether the Xu family's miserable situation was the result of her rise. Anyway, the Xu family's treatment of the original owner was the cause, and she does not need to feel burdened.
The content on the jade slip was even simpler. Uncle Xu ran to the next city and became a tenant farmer of a newly emerging small family.
This family has no background, and the land they have just allocated is rather barren. It is okay for the family members to share it, as long as they pay three levels, the rest will be theirs.
But the tenant farmers had to pay 70%, which basically meant they were in a state of just barely starving to death. Moreover, each contract was for a hundred years, limiting the future of three generations.
As for Uncle Xu's family, they followed Aunt Xu into her family's family.
That was also a branch of a small family. As married women who came back to be included in the family tree, they brought their families with them. They had to contribute to the family for fifty years.
In other words, it will take fifty years, basically until their grandchildren's generation, to officially become members of that family. Before that, they are similar to ordinary tenant farmers.
Seeing the fate of these people, Xu Hui was very satisfied, and she believed that the original owner must be very happy too.
Look, abandoning her family will only bring her a more difficult and hopeless future!
This would cause them more pain than letting them die.
"Have you finished reading it?" Wei Mubai smiled heartily when she put down the jade slip. Without asking any questions, he simply said, "If you don't want anything you gained from the Demonic Sea Abyss, you can give it to him and exchange it for spirit stones or supplies."
"Okay," Xu Hui only kept a portion of the top-grade magic crystals and gave the rest to the Nascent Soul cultivator.
He took it and took out a few jade slips. "These are all the items in the warehouse of the trading city. Miss Xu, you can take a look. If there is anything you want, I will ask someone to get it. If not, I will exchange them for points."
He still needs to go back and calculate the exact value of these things.
"Okay, you go ahead, I'll take a look first," Xu Hui nodded, and swept her spiritual sense across the place, discovering that there was indeed a dazzling array of things inside, with everything. Most of them she had never heard of, so she had no idea how to choose, so she had to look to Wei Mubai for help.
He took a few jade slips, glanced at them, and while ticking off the items, he instructed her, "The ones I prepared for you have all been used up. You may not be used to the ones Yi Qingxue used. It's better to choose new ones that are more suitable for your spiritual roots."
Xu Hui's eyes lit up. Yes, she had the five spiritual roots of chaos, so there were neither too many nor too few items that were suitable for her. She directly eliminated nine-tenths of them.
"First, defensive ones. You have the Shark's Silk, but we'll be entering a secret realm filled with dangers. The more defensive magical instruments, talismans, and arrays, the better. These dozen or so are suitable, so keep them for now. For the rest, go back and place an order with the Mu family. One hundred should be enough."
Xu Hui opened her mouth wide. One hundred pieces? Are they going to arm her into a human-shaped fortress?
Wei Mubai glanced at her and said, "Accidents happen from time to time. For example, you spent a lot of money in the Quining Cave Mansion before."
"That was to save people," Xu Hui defended herself. She didn't spend that much money herself, and she earned it back several times over later.
Wei Mubai smiled and said meaningfully, "Maybe you can save more."
Xu Hui was struck by his smile and blurted out, "It's enough as long as I can save you."
Wei Mubai was stunned, his smile suddenly widened, and he looked a little happier. His voice was soft and gentle, "Well, I need your help too, so it's worth preparing more!"
Xu Hui's face began to turn red again, and her mood became cheerful. "Well, okay."
"Then there are the seeds. Since you can extract the vitality of plants within the space, plant more before entering the secret realm. No matter what they are, it's a way out. Even if you can't use them, you can sell them when the plants grow up."
"Okay, hey, isn't that a medicinal plant?" She pointed to one of the plants Wei Mubai had selected. It was a common weed in the world of cultivation, found everywhere and without any effect.
Wei Mubai explained, "This is a mutated seed. Its vitality is stronger than the weeds outside. As long as there is a little spiritual energy, it can quickly grow into a large area."
"How fast?" Xu Hui roughly understood. These weeds also absorb spiritual energy to grow. They are naturally full of vitality. They grow fast like leeks and can grow one after another.
If something unexpected happens and she drains away all the plant life in the space, the weeds will quickly grow out and provide her with a second wave of life.
This is something that other plants, especially precious medicinal plants, do not have.
Therefore, when planting weeds in the medicinal planting space, it is better to plant a large area, preferably a few hills, which is hers. The space is large and you can plant as much as you want.
"One day is enough," Wei Mubai chuckled.
Xu Hui nodded vigorously, "Plant!"
What are you waiting for if you don’t plant this? So she is pretty amazing, she also has the ability to turn waste into treasure, ahahaha!
Xu Hui was very happy. She pointed at other plant seeds and asked about them one by one. After she had a clear idea, she quickly arranged where to plant them in the space.
These plants are not for medicinal value, they only need puppets, and she doesn't have to worry about them at all, so the more the better.
There are more than 7,000 kinds of seeds alone, tens of thousands of tons!
It is only here that it can be taken out easily.
No wonder after leaving the Abyss of the Demon Sea, Wei Mubai could have taken her directly back to the Wei family, or sent Chen to the Buddhist sect, but he came here first. The supplies stored here are no less than those in the Wei family's immortal palace.
You have to leave some somewhere for others to redeem, but you don’t need it here.
In Wei Mubai's words, after redeeming them today, she can put another batch into the warehouse tomorrow. Instead of transporting them back and forth, she might as well digest them first.
Very good! Xu Hui was addicted to shopping. She took out all of Yi Qingxue's things and exchanged them for what she wanted.
Four years after traveling through time, she finally did something that all time-traveling women like to do, which is to stockpile supplies in the space, countless supplies.
Speaking of which, she was really unqualified before. She had the space, but she only developed a small piece of spiritual field to grow the spiritual plants that Wei Mubai needed, and she did nothing herself.
"These are all your favorite spiritual fruits, vegetables and rice. They have grown and borne fruit and are about to mature. Circle them together and be careful to avoid them when you extract vitality later," Wei Mubai instructed.
"Okay," Xu Hui nodded heavily. She felt that she needed to build a large warehouse to collect all the ripe fruits. She loved to eat them anyway.
Then came the spiritual swords and magic weapons. Wei Mubai knew that she preferred those magic weapons that could explode. Although it was a bit of a waste to use these expensive magic weapons to explode, they did have amazing destructive power.
Since there is no shortage of spirit stones, just prepare more. They can afford it anyway!
When Xu Hui saw the effects of the magic weapons introduced, she smiled and said, "Tsk tsk, there are so many of them, it's like having an entire ammunition depot."
