Chapter 113 High-Grade Spirit Stones! Old Li's Anxiety! The Temperament of the 8th Elder!
Chapter 113 High-Grade Spirit Stones! Old Li's Anxiety! The Temperament of the 8th Elder!
Upon hearing this, the old eunuch changed the subject.
Old Li knew the other party was being sensitive!
Afraid of losing his customer, he quickly smiled apologetically:
"Brother Wei, Baicaotang lacks everything, but it has no shortage of spirit stones. I'll take as many as you have, no cheating!"
Chen Fan nodded slightly.
Without further ado, he took out another storage bag and said:
"Here are 20,000 sweet potatoes, please count them..."
How many?
Twenty thousand sweet potatoes?
Old Li's face turned red!
He thought the other party was just joking, but he never expected that the old eunuch was actually serious!
"Old Li, you can't afford to accept this, can you?" Chen Fan asked instinctively when he saw Old Li's expression change.
"What are you saying..."
Old Li felt a little depressed.
In order not to offend this major client, he had no choice but to continue the business.
You should know that what the Eighteenth Elder wanted was radish, not sweet potato!
But remembering the instructions of the Eighteenth Elder, Old Li couldn't care less about anything else.
"Twenty thousand sweet potatoes cost a total of eighty thousand low-grade spirit stones, which is equivalent to eight thousand mid-grade spirit stones, and then eighty high-grade spirit stones... Please wait a moment."
High-grade spirit stones?
Watching Old Li go inside, Chen Fan felt a surge of excitement.
Having never touched a high-grade spirit stone before, he was still somewhat looking forward to it.
After all, a mid-grade spirit stone is worth ten low-grade spirit stones, while a high-grade spirit stone is worth as much as one hundred mid-grade spirit stones, a huge difference.
Soon, Old Li came out of the house.
Holding a storage bag in his hand, he said with a slight pain in his eyes:
"Keep this safe, here are eighty high-grade spirit stones..."
Chen Fan took it and examined it, a glint of shrewdness appearing in his eyes.
These high-grade spirit stones contained ten times the spiritual energy of mid-grade spirit stones and a hundred times that of low-grade spirit stones.
If that overflowing spiritual energy were used for daily cultivation, Chen Fan estimated it would take him ten days to absorb enough.
Feeling like he'd struck gold, he smiled and then joked:
"Bai Cao Tang is indeed very generous. I will definitely come here often in the future."
Hearing the old eunuch's words, Old Li breathed a sigh of relief.
As if reassured, a smile returned to his face.
"Come visit often... It's been so long since we last met, come have some tea..."
Chen Fan did not refuse.
After that, he chatted with Lao Li in fits and starts.
The two discussed the recent events in the Great Abyss and the cultivation market in Luoyang.
From the conversation, Chen Fan learned some information that he couldn't hear in the palace.
For example, because of this rebellion, the Changchun Sect conscripted an additional 100,000 laborers to mine in the Great Abyss Dynasty, and disciples of the Changchun Sect began selecting immortal seedlings in various parts of Great Abyss.
This desperate measure is clearly intended to punish Da Yuan.
When Chen Fan learned about this, he felt that all this fussing and making a fuss would ultimately only cause suffering for ordinary people.
Secondly, there's the matter of Luoyang's market districts.
This market town is different from the previous ones, as it now includes Longshan City.
Therefore, its scale is much larger than before.
There will be a significant increase in both the items for sale and the various rare treasures auctioned.
Upon learning all this, Chen Fan was deeply moved.
After chatting for a few more minutes, he bought some Qi Condensation Pills and Spirit Connection Pill ingredients and then left the Hundred Herbs Hall.
After the person left.
Old Li couldn't wait to go into the inner room.
Having not contacted the Eighteenth Elder for a long time, he felt somewhat uneasy.
After straightening the bronze mirror, Old Li gently placed a spirit stone on it and waited quietly.
Soon, silver light began to emerge from the bronze mirror, and then a majestic figure appeared in the mirror!
"You still have the nerve to contact me? Li Fugui, you'd better come back to headquarters next month! You've really infuriated me!"
"I really don't know what use you are to me! You can't even keep one person, you're such a good-for-nothing, a complete waste..."
He listened to the eighteenth elder's barrage of insults.
Old Li's face was full of grievance.
Not daring to argue back, he simply took out a radish and said:
"Elder, there are radishes to eat..."
The sound in the mirror stopped abruptly.
"The person is back? How many radishes did they buy?" The Eighteenth Elder asked excitedly!
"Not many, ten thousand..." Old Li said shyly.
"Great! Ten thousand sticks are enough to eat!" the Eighteenth Elder exclaimed excitedly.
"Li Fugui, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. Keep up the good work, and when you return to headquarters next month, I'll personally entertain you..."
"Thank you, Elder..." Old Li said with a smile.
"But Elder, besides the radishes, this eunuch also sold us some sweet potatoes... Look..."
"Sweet potatoes? What do we need sweet potatoes for?" the eighteenth elder asked.
"Wait, how many sweet potatoes did you buy?"
"Not many, 20,000... the same price as radishes!" Old Li said, his voice trembling.
"What?! Twenty thousand sweet potatoes!" the eighteenth elder shrieked.
"Li Fugui, that's eighty high-grade spirit stones! Are you crazy?"
"Elder, I'm doing this to retain talented guests..." Old Li smiled bitterly!
"Fool! What's the use of buying radishes? What's the point of buying sweet potatoes?" the Eighteenth Elder practically roared.
"How could I have ever fallen for a good-for-nothing like you? You're infuriating!"
"Elder, why don't you take a look first..." Old Li, who was trembling all over, sighed and then took out a sweet potato and placed it in front of the bronze mirror.
When the eighteenth elder saw the sweet potato, he immediately fell silent!
After a moment of silence!
A voice came from the mirror:
"Li Fugui, I'll take as many sweet potatoes as you have!"
……
After leaving Baicaotang.
Chen Fan went straight to the restaurant to buy wine.
He hadn't had any spirit wine for almost half a month and was really craving it.
Furthermore, Chen Fan discovered that drinking the spirit wine was quite helpful for his sword practice.
Now that he has no wine to drink, he finds practicing swordsmanship utterly boring!
After buying the spirit wine, Chen Fan also bought some monster meat and some spirit rice seeds.
He also bought some materials for the formation at the market.
All these items, big and small, cost less than one hundred mid-grade spirit stones in total.
For Chen Fan, who is now rolling in money, this is nothing.
He needed to return to the Imperial Horse Stables, so he immediately left the market.
Just like Chang'an Street Market.
Chen Fan appeared outside Luoyang City.
After looking around, he quickly went to find Black Wind's trail.
However, when Chen Fan found the horse, the scene before him made his face turn black!
Suddenly, Black Wind found a mare from somewhere, and they were riding together sweetly and galloping away!
hiss…
It didn't stop when it saw the old eunuch arrive; it even barked defiantly.
It was as if they were mocking Chen Fan for being useless.
Enraged, he gritted his teeth and used his gravity spell to forcibly separate them!
The startled mare paused for a moment, then disappeared into the dense forest.
hiss…
The black wind, bound to its spot, howled with resentment.
"Instead of focusing on your cultivation, all you do is think about these trivial matters... what kind of future do you expect to have..."
Chen Fan ignored it and muttered curses:
"Having eggs doesn't make you special. If you piss us off, believe me, we'll cut them off!"
Black Wind was taken aback, then obediently shut up...
