"Fellow Daoist Qin, why are you here?"
The figure in a plain robe walked quickly to the stall and saw Qin Gengyun, a smile appeared on his sweat-stained face.
This is a female monk, with red phoenix eyes, slightly wider cheeks, and slightly thick lips. She is not very beautiful.
But his legs are slender, his figure is strong, his teeth are white under his bright smile, his long hair is pulled into a single ponytail, and he is swaying as he moves around, looking very heroic.
The plain robe she wore was very ordinary, the cheapest among the clothing stalls in the night market.
However, a small orchid was embroidered on the left shoulder of the robe, which gave this cheap dress a bit more charm and made her smile a bit more energetic.
This is the female neighbor who lives opposite Qin Gengyun. She is on the second floor of Qi training and a first-level talisman master.
Mo Xiaolan.
As her name suggests, this female talisman master loves orchids the most, so she embroiders an orchid on each of her clothes.
In her words: When you are tired, looking down at the blooming orchids will give you the strength to continue working hard.
At this time, Qin Gengyun saw that her forehead was covered with sweat, he smiled and held his hands in his hands: "Fellow Daoist Mo, please do your work first, I will talk about it later."
Noila Mo raised her hand to wipe the sweat casually with her sleeve and said with a smile:
"Someone just asked for ten breath-masking charms and asked me to send them over. I'm not busy now. You must have something to do with me, so tell me."
Qin Gengyun smiled. He and Mo Xiaolan were quite familiar with each other, so he stopped being polite, pulled her aside and whispered:
"Fellow Daoist Mo, you are familiar with the night market. Can you help me ask if there is anyone selling second-hand alchemy furnaces and spiritual fans?"
At the end, he added: "It's best to be cheaper and usable. Don't be too particular about appearance and quality."
Noila Mo looked at him carefully for a moment and asked, "Fellow Daoist Qin, have you made a breakthrough?"
Qin Gengyun looked around and said in a low voice: "Well, I have realized something recently. I just broke through to the third level of Qi training and advanced to the first level alchemist."
Noila Mo held her hand in her hand and her smile bloomed like an orchid: "Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Qin!"
Qin Gengyun also handed over: "Thank you! But you also know my situation. Even if I make a breakthrough, I can't afford the alchemy furnace and the spiritual fan."
"I understand." Noila Mo pinched her chin, thought for a while, and said to Qin Gengyun:
"Fellow Daoist Qin, follow me."
After saying that, she asked fellow Taoist Huang next door to help her look at the stalls, and then led Qin Gengyun through the bustling crowd to the east of the night market.
This side of the East Market is relatively remote, and the number of people is gradually decreasing. The two of them came to a stall at the back. Noila Mo pointed to a male cultivator in ragged clothes and an unshaven beard who was lying on his back sleeping on a rocking chair, and whispered to Qin Gengyun. :
"This person has the most connections in the night market. Let me ask him."
After saying that, he stepped forward and shouted with a smile: "Friend Dao Zheng, business is booming."
The sloppy male cultivator opened his eyes and yawned: "Fellow Daoist Mo, what are you doing here? That person who wants to marry you as a concubine is here again in the middle of Qi training?"
Noila Mo turned back to look at Qin Gengyun, and said to the sloppy male cultivator: "Fellow Daoist Zheng, I want to buy a second-hand alchemy furnace and a low-grade spiritual fan. Do you have a way?"
"Alchemy furnace? Spirit fan?"
Fellow Daoist Zheng sat up from the rocking chair and looked Qin Gengyun up and down:
"He wants to buy it?"
Mo Xiaolan smiled and said: "Zheng Daoyou, I'm the one buying it. Your price is more reasonable."
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Mo, you are also lucky. Someone happened to hang a bronze furnace and a low-grade spiritual fan in my place yesterday."
Fellow Daoist Zheng stood up, leaned into Mo Xiaolan’s ear, and whispered:
"This one is eager to take action. The alchemy furnace and the spiritual fan only cost a total of forty spiritual stones."
Mo Xiaolan chuckled: "Zheng Daoyou, don't fool me. Most of the things you sell here have unknown origins. It's risky for me to buy them. Forty spiritual stones, I might as well go to Fuyuan Pavilion, where the origins are clear. Don’t worry about subsequent trouble.”
Fellow Daoist Zheng chuckled: "Friend Daoist Mo, a second-hand bronze furnace in Fuyuan Pavilion costs one hundred spiritual stones, so you should go for it."
Noila Mo held her chin and thought for a moment, then seemed to finally make up her mind:
"Okay, it's better to spend more spirit stones than get into trouble. I'll go to Fuyuan Pavilion."
After saying that, he pulled Qin Gengyun and turned around to leave. Qin Gengyun was about to speak when a voice of condolences sounded behind him:
"Hey, friend Mo, why are you so anxious? The price can still be negotiated."
Noila Mo blinked at Qin Gengyun, Danfeng's eyes showed a bit of playfulness, she put her finger on her lips to signal him to stop talking, and then turned around and walked back.
"Fellow Daoist Zheng, I have something to do at my stall. It's inconvenient to stay for a long time. I'll give you a fixed price, including an alchemy furnace, a spiritual fan, and ten spiritual stones."
Qin Gengyun almost screamed out, and quickly lowered his head to hold it in.
Fellow Daoist Zheng’s eyes, which were still stained with eye droppings, widened:
"Fellow Daoist Mo, your bargaining is too much. If you only sell ten spirit stones, I will have to pay the price to my employer. You are going to kill me!"
"Fellow Daoist Zheng, my life is difficult, and gathering ten spirit stones will cost my life!"
Noila Mo stopped pressing forward, and her heroic face was filled with bitterness, looking pitiful:
"Fellow Daoist Zheng, could you give me a way to survive for the sake of our long acquaintance?"
The sloppy vendor was speechless and pointed at Noila Mo:
"Fellow Daoist Mo, you are worthy of being the king of price bargaining in the night market. That's all. My pill furnace and spiritual fan, twenty spiritual stones, can't be any less!"
"Thirteen spiritual stones!"
"eighteen!"
"Fourteen spirit stones!"
"fifteen!"
"make a deal!"
"..."
Noila Mo clapped her hands and laughed, and said to the depressed and sloppy vendor:
"Fellow Daoist Zheng, this price requires the alchemy furnace and spiritual fan to be intact. You have to let me see the goods first."
"Of course I know this. When the seller finds a time to bring something here, you can bring your mistress to check it out."
Fellow Daoist Zheng did seem a little annoyed. He glanced at Qin Gengyun who was standing aside and tried to make excuses.
"Ha, don't be angry, Boss Zheng. I will come to you next time if something good comes up."
Noila Mo didn't say much, pulled Qin Gengyun away, and after leaving Dongshi, she explained:
"Fellow Daoist Qin, although Zheng Peipi has a dark heart, he has always had a good reputation. You don't have to worry. Even if something goes wrong with the things he sells, he can't find you."
Qin Gengyun said quickly: "Of course I trust fellow Taoist Mo. If it weren't for you just now, how could I have purchased the alchemy furnace and the spiritual fan at such a low price! Thank you very much!"
"You're welcome, Fellow Daoist Qin. By the way, what medicinal materials do you need to make elixirs? I'll help you keep an eye on them."
Noila Mo shook her head and smiled, the sunshine was still bright.
"I plan to refine Qingfeng Powder, and I need a Qingling grass and poison-removing insect flower." Qin Gengyun replied.
These two kinds of medicinal materials are sold in the Danfu Building, which specializes in materials for alchemists and talisman masters, but the prices are not low, so it is naturally cheaper to buy them at the night market.
Mo Xiaolan tilted her head and thought for a moment: "I can ask Daoist Huang, he should have it. You don't have to worry about the price."
"Thank you very much!" Qin Gengyun said happily.
Noila Mo smiled and waved her hand: "I'm going back to look at the stall. If there is any news from the alchemy furnace, I will let you know immediately."
"Okay, Fellow Daoist Mo, I will go back then."
Separated from Mo Xiaolan, left the night market and returned to Zhaiyu Alley.
As soon as I walked in, I smelled a strange smell. If I wanted to describe it, it was the smell of heather from the previous life mixed with stinky tofu.
"came back?"
I saw Qiu Zhihe sitting at the table, getting up slowly, wearing a black velvet plum skirt, her petite and plump figure became more and more prominent.
"Let's eat."
Qin Gengyun took a look and saw Qiu Zhihe taking out the entire cooking pot and placing it on the table.
The pot was steaming hot, and the thick purple liquid was still bubbling.
Qin Gengyun wiped the sweat from his forehead and pointed at the unknown mucus in the pot:
"What... is this?"
Qiu Zhihe said expressionlessly:
"Shiquan Datong Porridge can replenish insufficient qi and blood and weak physical strength."
