In the end, Yang Zhen did not admit her identity as an illegitimate child, but this did not prevent Manager Cui from making up his own mind:
If he wasn't related to the Wang family, how could he call a member of the Wang family "Uncle Sixteen"?
If he didn't have a deep relationship with the Fourth Elder, how could he possibly take out the gift given to him by the palace?
It should be the romantic debt caused by the fourth elder back then. I heard that this gentleman was a romantic man and married many wives and concubines after he retired.
Isn't it because he doesn't recognize it now to facilitate transactions with the palace?
Thinking of this, he no longer underestimated Yang Zhen and began to seriously discuss his proposal.
After some haggling, the two quickly settled on the purchase price of Xuanyang Wood, which was 330 copper coins, of which 30 copper coins went to Manager Cui. According to Yang Zhen's request, half of the payment was divided into spirit stones and gold coins.
He told Manager Cui the rental address and agreed to pay with one hand and deliver the goods at noon tomorrow. The two said goodbye to each other and left.
…
The next morning, when Yang Zhen arrived at Chen Fugui's residence, she asked Wang Shaohe, who was accompanying him, to go back first. He would be here today and he could just pick him up in the afternoon. Wang Shaohe agreed and left.
Then, he walked toward the rented yard alone. At this point, he can only act alone. Xuan Tie Ling and the snow silk clothes were all put on to prevent any accidents.
Fortunately, it was a smooth journey. After entering the yard and seeing no one around, he took out the bluestone and Yiyi immediately got out.
As a bunch of spirit drops came out, everyone started busy preparations in the yard.
Yang Zhen followed Yiyi's instructions and rearranged the stones in the yard.
Yiyi followed suit and began to cast spells to set up the magic array. Compared with two months ago, not only was her strength greatly improved, but she also had spiritual drops to replenish her mana at any time, and she didn't have to be in such a hurry. After the magic array was set up, she only felt slightly tired, but she didn't need to sleep for several days like last time.
After doing this, she returned to the bluestone space. After a while, she heard a muffled "bang" sound.
Ten thousand pieces of Xuanyang wood have appeared in the illusion array.
After all preparations were made, Yang Zhen began to wait for the arrival of Manager Cui.
…
Just after noon, several carriages appeared at the entrance of the alley, the first one carrying people, and the following ones pulling goods.
Manager Cui got off the first carriage and came over in person for the first transaction between the two parties.
The person who got out of the car at the same time as Manager Cui was a middle-aged monk in green clothes with a sinister look in his eyes, as if he was refusing to let strangers in.
Yang Zhen couldn't help but worry: Did Manager Cui do a background check last night?
But even if you investigate, you won't find any flaws. Everyone in the Wang family only sees that they are very popular, but how many people know the real reason?
As for going to Xuyang to investigate, let alone whether there is enough time. Even if they find out that their biological mother is Jin, how can they determine whether Jin met Wang Rui back then?
In short, the story I made up is half true and half false, so I should be able to fool him.
Yang Zhen thought to herself, but with a bright smile on her face, she greeted Manager Cui. In front of all his subordinates, Manager Cui was obviously more dignified than last night, and he just gave a slight hum.
The others stayed outside, and Manager Cui and the monk in Tsing Yi were introduced into the courtyard by Yang Zhen.
"Why don't you have any servants in your yard?" Manager Cui asked as he stepped forward. Yang Zhen was two steps behind.
Soon, the three of them entered the illusion formation and immediately started shouting:
"Why are there all stones in here? Young boy from the Yang family, what are you doing?"
"This is a phantom formation! Manager, follow me carefully!"
Yang Zhen said "Ah" and hurriedly shouted: "I'm sorry, I forgot to turn off the formation. Please wait a moment."
He moved the two stones away, the magic array disappeared instantly, and the yard returned to its original appearance.
The three of them immediately saw the tall piles of Xuanyang trees in the middle of the yard.
"I'm sorry." Yang Zhen explained: "The elders in the family arranged the formation to prevent accidents, but they forgot to close it."
Manager Cui snorted, a little unhappy. The monk's face was gloomy. He didn't know how to break the illusory formation just now. This child opened it easily. Although it was taught by his elders, it made him embarrassed.
Yang Zhen sneered in her heart. Of course, he did this on purpose. The purpose was to show his strength and make Manager Cui think that there were monks following him at all times to prevent them from having any bad intentions.
After this episode passed, Manager Cui took out two pieces of Xuanyang wood, inspected the goods, and asked the monk to count the quantity. There was no problem.
He signaled, and the monk took out a storage bag: "Here is the payment, what do you want to put it in?"
Yang Zhen took out the sack that had been prepared: "Just pour it in here."
His unconcerned look made the monk speechless. Soon 1,500 gold coins and 150 spirit stones were poured into the bag, and the total weight was less than thirty kilograms.
Yang Zhen issued a receipt for 1,800 gold coins and 150 spirit stones, stamped it with Xingdetang's seal, and the transaction was completed.
He said goodbye to the two of them calmly: "You can move here slowly, and when you are done, just give the key to Chen Fuzhen in the workshop."
There is nothing in this room except xuanyang wood and stone. It doesn't matter if the door is not closed.
From this transaction, after deducting the purchase price and the cost of renting the house, he earned a total of 250 spiritual stones.
More importantly, we have established a long-term cooperation with Mr. Cui. From now on, you can trade like this every month or even half a month.
Zhoucheng consumes tens of millions of Xuanyang wood every year, and his small amount will not cause much interference to the market.
…
Returning to Wang's house in the afternoon, Yang Zhen was in a happy mood. The biggest task of the trip was finally completed.
The next step is to consider the profitability of Yuezhen Pavilion.
His cultivation of the third level of the Body Training Technique, even if he added the more than 400 spirit stones stored at his grandma's place, he was still short of more than 300.
According to his shareholding in Yuezhen Pavilion, he would need the profit of nearly a thousand spiritual stones to make up for this shortfall.
He couldn't make up for it with the profits from Xuanyang Wood because he couldn't explain the origin of these spiritual stones to them.
He plans to spend most of the spiritual stones earned by Xuanyang Mu on clothes.
Spirit stones are no longer Yiyi's first choice for absorbing spiritual energy. She can now collect the Zhao family's spiritual energy in the medicine garden, but the spiritual stones can also buy many things that are useful to her.
For example, the Quiet Soul Bead is a bead that contains a large number of soul fragments. Usually when executing criminals or monks who have committed heinous crimes, the sect will collect their dissipated souls on the spot, and use specific magical instruments to purify the ferocious energy in them, turning them into completely unconscious pure soul fragments to ensure that the souls of these people are not destroyed. They will become evil ghosts and resentful spirits, causing trouble.
This kind of soul fragment can help monks enhance their spiritual consciousness and strengthen their souls, and the same is true for Yiyi.
The price is naturally high, and the lowest level requires one hundred spirit stones.
In addition, there are many, many good things, and spiritual stones are never enough.
Just when he was thinking hard about Yuezhen Pavilion's big money-making opportunities, Wang Shaohe called him over, but it was the fourth elder who came to him.
