Chapter 10: A Small Windfall
I am laughing to death
One of the army aviators had a headache and was secretly cursing in his heart
Well
Begin to wait by the stump for the hare
Fifty spirit coins, Brother Hang, please make your selection
The guardian of Ziyun Town ranks just below the three major families and the four elder officials. Although he does not often appear in public, he still holds a certain level of deterrence over ordinary cultivators and their families. However, this guardian is quite stingy in his daily dealings, reluctant to purchase spiritual fruits and spiritual springs from outside. He only ventures out to make purchases when presenting gifts to the four elder officials, and he is very meticulous about the prices.
Although Daniu was unclear about how to turn the Lingguo for such a profit, he had always trusted Lu Hang's words and followed his advice without asking too many questions, focusing on his work.
Lin Baogui, relying on having a brother who is an apprentice to a cultivator, has taken advantage of the young servants in the market quite a bit. Daniu has tried several times to sell the spiritual fruits, but in the end, they were all sold at a low price to Lin Baogui
In a moment, one was in a state of utter anxiety and restlessness
Nine boxes
Lin Baogui's gaze and expression clearly conveyed this meaning, but when it came to his lips, he tactfully swallowed it back, painfully rummaging out two boxes of spirit fruits and fifteen spirit coins, lamenting: "It's all here."
Linggu Ordinary
Ah, wait for me
Holding the heavy 1,300 Ling Coins in hand, Lu Hang suppressed the almost overwhelming urge to laugh out loud and walked away.
This snow hare was originally worth 100 spirit coins, but now that you have dropped it like this, its value has at least halved. If you wish to survive, you need to make up the difference of 50 spirit coins
The five individuals were immediately taken aback
Lin Baogui finally came to his senses, gritted his teeth, and dug out five spirit coins from his pocket
The aviation department has not been contacted
The passing monks coincidentally lingered for a while at the collar of the aviator's garment, and then inquired about the price
As soon as the eye of the land aviation turned, it suddenly understood
Haha ... ...
Money is insufficient, very insufficient
So little
For ordinary mortals, this is undoubtedly a catastrophic disaster that leads to the destruction of families and the loss of lives
The best is still the spiritual fruit, pleasing to the eye, sweet and flavorful, reasonably priced, suitable for all ages
In addition, Daniu instructed those few individuals to return home and report to the host family, to arrange for a batch of inventory, and to spend all the spirit coins they had on hand, accumulating the number of spirit fruits to a total of exactly 9 boxes
As noon approached, there were only a few stalls left in the market, and the remaining spiritual fruits were already scarce, with most of them not being of the highest quality. Daniu managed to acquire three boxes of spiritual fruits for just 56 spirit coins.
How many spiritual fruits are there
Dropping a low-grade spirit stone and a small pouch containing seventy spirit coins, the two assistants standing behind Feng Ru cooperatively snatched away the nine boxes of spirit fruits, leaving the two no chance to react, and turned to leave.
Yesterday, at the Zhu residence's banquet, it was heard that many spiritual fruits from the market were purchased at a high price. The host mentioned that this year's stock is all here, and this is all there is, with prices significantly higher than usual
Big Bull, immediately contact those main households and collect the spiritual fruits at the usual price, spend all the spiritual coins
A group of people is running while crying
Although the recent transaction contained elements of deception, it has always been the case that every newly appointed minister is greeted by a throng of gift-givers. Among the most fashionable gifts, one item is indispensable—spiritual fruit
Hmph
It is no longer possible for the big bull to take control of the situation, especially when facing genuine cultivators and raising prices; that would be an act of seeking death
Good luck
In addition, Daniu also obtained fifteen boxes of spiritual fruits from his master, which was nearly all of his master's stock.
Lin Baogui and the other four were instantly as if granted a great reprieve, and they took to their heels and ran away
The emotions of the two individuals are stirred
Unknowingly, I have returned to the most familiar marketplace again
Despite having paid an additional 90 spirit coins, it is of no concern at all for a guardian.
In a moment of inspiration, Lu Hang secretly pulled the great bull to the corner of the alley and whispered a few words in his ear. He then slipped a wallet into his hand, instructing him to go out and purchase all the spiritual fruits available in the market.
Interestingly, as the spiritual fruits were about to be sold out, the last five boxes were snatched away at a high price of six spirit coins each
At present, Lu Hang holds the status of a first-grade cultivator, remaining calm and expressionless in the face of the probing gazes of these cultivators.
The small seal script on the lapel is exceptionally striking
One must think of other ways to make money
The background becomes effective at such times
With a gritted jaw, Feng Ru stepped between the two and said firmly
The personal stall set up by the Army Aviation
Offend the Zhu residence
Lin Baogui and the other four were scared half to death and had long returned to their homes in tears, leaving behind a rare moment of tranquility and harmony in the market
Everyone is searching for the spiritual fruit as a gift
Although they were feeling down, they truly did not intend to get angry over a mere few dozen spirit coins at a young servant with the background of the Zhu family—within the confines of Ziyun Town
It is very expensive
Feng Ruben had finally spotted someone selling spiritual fruits, and in a rush, he hurried over, just in time to overhear the conversation between the two, which immediately left him drenched in sweat.
It must be said that these few young men have quite a bit of private wealth; they casually gathered together and took out fifty spirit coins, which greatly moved Lu Hang.
Get lost
Unexpectedly, before that person could arrive, a young man intercepted him
Spirit liquor, spirit fruit, spirit grain, spirit spring, each must not be lacking
Harvested twenty spirit fruits and seventy spirit coins, which amounts to half a low-grade spirit stone.
Wuwu... I do not want to die
Even if Lin Baogui is arrogant, he knows that his brother, a mere apprentice cultivator with half-baked skills, cannot possibly save him. In the eyes of the Zhu family, an apprentice cultivator is merely an ant, just a slightly stronger ant.
That being said
What? Is it so expensive?
Is my brother not even better than a rabbit
Isn't the person inquiring about the price Lu Hang?
I will take all of these spiritual fruits!
The five individuals simultaneously displayed expressions of seeing the dawn, quickly pooling their money together. At that moment, one straightforward person was about to argue about the price of the snow hare, but before he could finish speaking, he was struck by Lin Baogui with a resounding slap, causing blood to flow profusely.
As Lu Hang came to a halt, he recognized that the person before him was Feng Ru, the steward in charge of Ziyun Town, responsible for all procurement matters, and he could be considered a significant client from the past
Thinking of several children who were driven to death by Lin Baogui, Lu Hangzhi's heart suddenly hardened, and he coldly said in a condescending tone
Look at them like that ... haha ... it's so satisfying!
The big cow cautiously extended a finger
Lin Baogui handed over 50 spirit coins, revealing a flattering and ingratiating smile, "Brother Hang, look, I've lost the spirit coins as well, can we..."
The spring water is tasteless
The Lord of the Guard has decided to visit the newly appointed Minister of the Imperial Guard tonight; how can it be done without the spiritual fruit
Lu Hangzhi does not intend to conclude this transaction
The plot twist came too quickly; Daniu was still immersed in the world of "Hurry Up and Run, Hang," when unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, five adversaries knelt on the ground, each one transformed into a wailing child, standing there in a daze, at a loss for what to do
Forget it, I'll take two boxes
Very good
In the past, I was unaware of the details regarding the - diagram - and the book. However, yesterday, the three ministers had just reached an agreement and decided on the selection of the fourth minister. It was certain that the ministers had a meeting and a banquet yesterday, and today, they are scheduled to meet at the Wei camp for the handover. It is expected that tomorrow will be the turn of ordinary cultivators to come and present their gifts.
At that moment, a young servant came running with a package in hand, vaguely shouting the words "spiritual fruit," and was instantly filled with joy and surprise
At that moment, a group of people hurriedly passed by, and the leader among them looked very familiar, murmuring something under his breath
On the way back to Ziyun Town, a compassionate female cultivator took a liking to the half-conscious snow rabbit in his arms, paying fifty spirit coins to take the rabbit away. As a result, the spirit coins in Lu Hang's hand surged to one hundred and twenty-three, along with twenty spirit fruits, bringing the total value close to that of a low-grade spirit stone
The poor steward Feng, after wandering around the market, discovered that the young servants in the neighborhood were becoming increasingly scarce, and not a single piece of fruit remained, causing him to break out in a sweat like rain
"Shh! This is a little insider information." The big bull leaned in mysteriously, lowering his voice, "I have heard that quite a few cultivators plan to send gifts to the Wei Ying Pavilion's old home today. All the spiritual fruits in the market are sold out, and some have even contacted their families. As a result, everyone is preparing to send gifts and not selling anymore! This is the last batch; if you don't buy now, it might double in price tomorrow."
Nonsense! Of course it cannot compare!
A box of spiritual fruit costs 40 spiritual coins, with a minimum purchase of two boxes
This matter should not be known to the Zhu residence. Even if the cultivators behind them become aware of it, whether intentionally or unintentionally, they would not hesitate to take action and execute, in order to extinguish the wrath of the Zhu residence.
Can this group of unruly children not see that their purpose is to force them to pay a hush fee
No wonder there are no spiritual fruits in the market; it turns out that the spiritual fruits have been sold out
In a short while, several contacts were made, exchanging the spirit coins and spirit stones for fifteen boxes of spirit fruits
Feng Ruyang was in high spirits, saying, "Fortunately, my quick wit and decisiveness saved the day; otherwise, the gifts for tonight would surely not be ready."
Eh?
Completed
The thought of the resources required to care for the spirit fruit tree immediately cast a faint shadow over Lu Hang's otherwise pleasant mood
It was as if a mute button had been pressed, and the five young servants fell silent in unison, wanting to cry but daring not to, casting timid glances over.
Luhang weighed the money bag with satisfaction
However
This is a disaster
Before long, after the two deliberately spread rumors, more and more figures of cultivators indeed began to appear in the market one after another
Spiritual liquor and spiritual tea are too expensive
I am going to die
Five young servants sat on the ground with pale faces, utterly at a loss, tears streaming down their cheeks incessantly
If you want to die, keep howling
However, the army aviation did not intend to continue to attract attention here, so they picked up the snow hare and left
Most likely, this steward Feng is following the orders of the garrison to go out and purchase gifts such as spiritual fruits and spiritual springs to present to a certain minister.
This is quite something
The big bull stood there motionless from beginning to end, as if watching a movie, observing the usually arrogant and domineering Lin Baogui surrendering spirit fruits and spirit coins, nearly stripping off his pants to prove his innocence, holding back laughter all the while, until he finally couldn't contain himself and burst out laughing.
Lu Hang fell into deep contemplation
With the first fool, the subsequent individuals readily accepted the price of one spirit fruit for four spirit coins, and the thirty boxes of spirit fruits quickly diminished
Lu Hangzhi accepted the spirit coins, chuckled coldly, and pointed at the large bull not far away, saying, "Did my brother Lu Hangzhi let you beat him for nothing? Isn't this slapping my face, but also the face of the Zhu family?"
A young servant began to cry, and along with him, the other four were overwhelmed by sorrow, all weeping in despair and helplessness
Three spirit coins for one, right? Here you go
Do you want to leave
Wuwu ... ...
