Danfu Tower is the largest trading organization for alchemy masters and talisman master materials within the Zhenyang Sect's sphere of influence. Even for this small branch in Yunling Town, the number of transactions every day is astonishing.
So Qin Gengyun had expected such a situation before coming.
It's not that the shopkeeper looks down on people or is deliberately making things difficult.
Because of their scale, even if they want to collect low-grade elixirs, they will do so in batches and not in scattered purchases.
Qin Gengyun was already prepared for this. He took out a bag of Qingfeng Powder and said to the mustache shopkeeper:
"Shopkeeper, my Qingfeng Powder is of a higher grade than ordinary ones. Why don't you take a look?"
The shopkeeper looked at him and finally took the bag of Qingfeng Powder, opened the bag and looked inside.
Then, the shopkeeper's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Qin Gengyun again, and his smile became a little more sincere:
"Fellow Taoist, how many Qingfeng Powders of this quality do you have?"
Qin Gengyun replied: "There are two bags."
The shopkeeper returned the bag to Qin Gengyun, and after thinking for a moment, he said:
"How about three spirit stones and one bag?"
Qin Gengyun was startled, but he didn't expect the other party to be so cheerful.
Moreover, the price was similar to what I had expected. Considering that Danfulou’s business was so big, I had no intention of scheming against such a small casual cultivator.
Agree immediately.
The shopkeeper didn't hesitate and immediately took out six spiritual stones.
Qin Gengyun handed two bags of Qingfeng Powder to the shopkeeper and accepted the spirit stone.
The mustache shopkeeper said: "Fellow Taoist, if you still have Qingfeng San of this quality, you can come over at any time."
"Okay, thank you shopkeeper!"
Qin Gengyun walked out of the Danfu Tower and touched the spirit stone in his arms, but his heart felt more at ease than ever before.
He earned six spiritual stones in one night.
This is his income from Lingdanfang for two whole months!
No wonder everyone wants to be an alchemist, this profession is so lucrative!
Qin Gengyun walked on the lively Caifeng Street and felt a little lighter all over.
After thinking about it, I went to the Lingmi Shop and bought ten kilograms of spiritual rice. When I passed by the Fatty Pavilion, I hesitated and walked in.
"Fellow Taoist, do you want to buy toiletries?"
A lady with exquisite makeup walked over with her waist twisted. When she saw Qin Gengyun, her warm smile suddenly stopped.
Qin Gengyun also recognized that this lady was his first blind date in the Marriage Pavilion that day.
She is the female cultivator who earns two spiritual stones a month, but requires her Taoist companion to earn ten spiritual stones a month, plus three hundred spiritual stones and a spiritual palace as a betrothal gift.
When the two met again, they were both a little embarrassed. Qin Gengyun could only laugh and said:
"Fellow Taoist, I want to buy a hosta."
"Okay, this guest, please come with me." The female cultivator once again showed a business-like smile on her face, and showed Qin Gengyun several hostas.
The things in Rouge Pavilion are indeed beautiful, but they are also expensive.
The cheapest hosta also costs a spiritual stone.
As far as Qin Gengyun knew, the female cultivators who lived in Zhaiyu Lane rarely entered Rouge Pavilion once a year because the things inside were too expensive.
The female cultivator dutifully introduced Qin Gengyun, paused, and suddenly asked:
"Fellow Daoist Qin, who are you planning to buy this hairpin for?"
Qin Gengyun said: "I bought it for my wife."
The female cultivator was startled for a moment, then regained her smile and picked up a hairpin with a white jade lotus flower pierced through it:
"This is a white jade lotus hairpin. It is most suitable for a married woman to wear. It is elegant, dignified, gentle and virtuous."
Qin Gengyun took a look and found that this hairpin was indeed much prettier than the wooden hairpin that Qiu Zhihe usually wore.
He nodded immediately: "Just buy this."
I paid 1 spirit stone and 50 spirit baht to buy this lotus hairpin. I was about to walk out of Rouge Pavilion when the female cultivator behind me suddenly said:
"Fellow Daoist Qin, how much gift did your wife ask for when she married you?"
Qin Gengyun turned around and said with a smile, "My wife didn't ask for any gift."
After saying that, he walked out of the door.
The female cultivator watched his figure quickly walk away and murmured:
"Don't want a bride price? Is his wife a fool? Or is she too ugly?"
Qin Gengyun returned to Zhaiyu Lane, entered his house, and immediately said loudly:
"Fellow Daoist Qiu, I bought spiritual rice. Let's cook spiritual rice porridge tonight."
Qiu Zhihe came out of the kitchen, looked at the spiritual rice in his hand, and nodded lightly.
Qin Gengyun scratched his cheek, feeling a little embarrassed.
I usually eat ordinary rice, so I am very happy to have a meal of spiritual rice today.
But looking at Qiu Zhihe's cold reaction, it looked like she had had enough.
But think about it, after all, she once practiced in a serious sect. Even her dowry was an alchemy furnace. She must have seen a lot of the world.
Qiu Zhihe took the bag of spiritual rice from his hand and carried it into the kitchen with one hand.
Today, Qiu Zhihe wore a black plum blossom gauze pattern robe, which was quite close to the body. It swayed up and down as she walked, making it appear more exquisite and convex.
Qin Gengyun followed her in and stood behind her, watching her skillfully cut meat, make fire, and cook porridge.
The bronze stove was placed next to it. Qiu Zhihe was leaning sideways when cooking, which was quite restrictive. Qin Gengyun said:
"Fellow Daoist Qiu, those two bags of Qingling grass were sold for six spiritual stones. After I continue to refine the elixirs and sell them, and earn the spiritual stones, we can rent a larger house in the future."
Qiu Zhihe said nothing, but Qin Gengyun was used to it. Suddenly he took two steps forward. Qiu Zhihe turned back, a cold light flashed in his apricot eyes:
"what you do?"
Qin Gengyun stopped quickly and took out the white jade lotus hairpin from his arms:
"I bought it for you, and I just wanted to put it on for you."
Qiu Zhihe looked at the white jade lotus on the hairpin, and her cold eyes instantly froze.
"Fellow Daoist Qiu, you don't like it?"
Qin Gengyun saw her expression was different and asked quickly.
Qiu Zhihe looked at him coldly: "I don't like lotus flowers."
"Ah?" Qin Gengyun was startled: "Then...should I go to Rouge Pavilion tomorrow to get a replacement?"
Qiu Zhihe turned back and continued cooking porridge, ignoring him.
Qin Gengyun had no choice but to walk out of the kitchen.
He bought a hairpin and gave it to Qiu Zhihe. Firstly, he was grateful to Qiu Zhihe for giving him the alchemy furnace and Qingling grass, and secondly, he wanted to use it to cultivate the relationship between the couple.
When a husband gives his wife a gift, she will usually be happy.
But seeing Qiu Zhihe like this, there was no joy at all.
All this thought was in vain.
Qiu Zhihe cooked the porridge and brought it out, and the two of them finished the meal in silence.
Qin Gengyun went to wash the dishes and came out to see Qiu Zhihe sitting by the bed. He coughed and said:
"Fellow Daoist Qiu, I have something to discuss with you."
Qiu Zhihe looked up at him, and Qin Gengyun continued:
"Can you cultivate a few more Qingling Grasses of the same quality as last night? Danfu Tower seems to have a lot of demand for high-quality Qingfeng Powder. I want to refine some more and sell them."
Qiu Zhihe put his hands on his knees, and the black plum blossoms embroidered on the gauze robe tightly wrapped the undulating curves, but his eyes were still cold:
"So you just bought me a hairpin today and you want to exchange it with me for the spiritual grass?"
Qin Gengyun said quickly: "Fellow Daoist Qiu, you misunderstood. If you feel that you are at a loss, I can buy it on credit from you at the price of 1 spirit stone and 50 spirit baht. When I sell the Qingfeng Powder and earn the spirit stones, I will return it to you immediately. "
"It's time to sleep."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Zhihe raised his hand and flicked out the candle.
"Fellow Daoist Qiu? Ah..."
Thirty-five breaths later.
Qin Gengyun lay on the bed in disbelief, feeling pleasantly surprised.
I am actually over thirty breaths old?
Oh my god, I'm successful!
Qiu Zhihe had already turned his back. After a moment, he suddenly said:
"Tomorrow, I'll give you the Qingling grass... no need for spiritual stones."
Qin Gengyun was startled, but saw illusory words appearing in front of his eyes:
