"Little friend Zhang Liang, come on, come on, please come inside."
Shopkeeper He, who had been nonchalant just now, now welcomed Zhang Liang into the inner room with a smile on his face.
I heard Shopkeeper He say: "Have the spirit shrimps migrated?"
Jiang is still old and spicy, Zhang Liang cannot hide this matter, if he wants to take action all at once, it will inevitably arouse suspicion. With the experience of an old fox like Shopkeeper He, it is impossible not to guess the migration of spiritual shrimps.
Zhang Liang nodded: "Shopkeeper He has a keen eye. It is indeed the migration of spiritual shrimps."
"Tsk tsk! Now that the spirit shrimps are migratory, the price of the spirit shrimps is no longer what it used to be. If I wait a little longer, the price of the spirit shrimps may drop significantly! How about two of them for one spirit coin?"
The corner of Zhang Liang's mouth twitched. He used to have one spirit coin each, but this old guy really cut off half of it?
However, Zhang Liang had already known that Shopkeeper He would lower the price, and immediately said: "Shopkeeper He, your Lingxian Tower is spread all over the Thousand Islands to communicate with each other. Our Qingfeng Island has spiritual shrimps migrating, but there are no other islands! Even if you charge the original price, , you can only make a profit but not a loss. Moreover, I know a place where the spirit shrimps are densely populated... Of course, you have the final say as to the specific price."
Shopkeeper He laughed and said, "In that case, seven cents for a spirit coin is already a high price. There are over a thousand fishermen on Qingfeng Island, so sooner or later there will be no shortage of spirit shrimps. But Zhang Xiaoyou was the first to come and informed me in advance. , I can’t help but sell this face.”
"good!"
In the world of cultivating immortals, ten spirit coins can be worth one low-grade spirit stone. Spirit coins are theoretically the smallest unit. But if you insist on dividing it down, you can also turn the spiritual coins into ten points, but there is no specific physical currency.
Zhang Liang finally took out 522 spiritual shrimps, which were converted into 35 spiritual stones in total, which was his largest harvest so far.
Shopkeeper He: "If nothing happens to Xiaoyou Zhang, I'll go prepare and collect the shrimps."
"Shopkeeper He, wait a moment."
"Um?"
However, Zhang Liang hesitated for a moment and took out a black squid that was more than two meters long: "Shopkeeper He, this is a first-level mid-grade sea monster. I can feel the monster aura. Take a look, what is the price?"
In the world of immortal cultivation, at least on Qingfeng Island, everyone calls sea monsters and ferocious beasts into different categories. There is still a certain difference between the title of Siren himself.
"Oh? Siren?"
Shopkeeper He suddenly became interested and quickly stepped forward to identify it. He couldn't help but said in surprise: "It is indeed a sea monster, or a sea monster that can transform. It was killed by the green sword talisman. The ink sac is intact and the amount of ink is sufficient. Tsk, you are so awesome!"
Zhang Liang said, I filled two ink sacs together, of course it is enough.
The most valuable thing about squid-like creatures, whether they are sea monsters or ferocious beasts, is their ink sacs. This object is a talisman-making spiritual object and is of great value.
Shopkeeper He could only hear the admiration: "No wonder, it seems that you discovered this monster last time and didn't take action until today. I won't cheat you, this ink sac is indeed good, this alone is worth 40 spiritual stones. The rest are It’s not very valuable. The squid bone, the rare blood essence, the two squid eyes, and this huge body will give you 15 spiritual stones in total, no more.”
"good!"
Zhang Liang did not bargain and agreed.
But now that he has a huge fortune of 90 spiritual stones, he does not dare to leave Fangshi at will. This money is hot to hold and must be spent.
Just listen to Zhang Liang say: "Shopkeeper He, I want to buy some magic weapons, talismans, or elixirs."
Shopkeeper He smiled and said, "Of course, tell me your requirements."
Zhang Liang: "I want 5 green sword talismans and 10 small thunder talismans."
Shopkeeper He nodded slightly: "25 spirit stones."
Zhang Liang: "I want to buy a magic weapon and spiritual garment."
Shopkeeper He: "Our store has a medium-grade magic weapon called Haichanyi, which can resist several power attacks in the middle stage of Qi training. If it reaches the peak of Qi training in the middle stage, it also has a certain protective effect. Moreover, the clothes do not touch water and can avoid swords, guns and fish scales. Price 30 spirit stones.”
Zhang Liang nodded. He had wanted a Haichanyi for a long time, but he had no money before.
Zhang Liang: "I want two bottles of spiritual liquid. Can it be cheaper?"
The so-called spiritual liquid is a liquid of spiritual energy, which can provide a large amount of spiritual energy in a short period of time to assist in practice. It is generally used when clearing levels.
Shopkeeper He chuckled: "20 spirit stones."
Zhang Liang actually has many things he wants, such as offensive spiritual weapons, healing elixirs, and offensive spells.
Unfortunately, his funds are really limited.
Finally, Zhang Liang sighed: "I want a storage bag that's about the same size."
Shopkeeper He smiled and said: "10 spirit stones."
Zhang Liang finally looked at Shopkeeper He eagerly and said: "Shopkeeper He, can it be cheaper? I also want to go next door to upgrade the Green Snake Network."
Shopkeeper He nodded slightly: "Then I will allow you to owe 5 spiritual stones for now, and you will make up for it later. 10 spiritual stones are enough to upgrade your Green Snake Net to a mid-level magic weapon."
…
After coming out of Lingxian Tower, Zhang Liang breathed a sigh of relief. Although all the spiritual stones were spent, he was happy! Many things that I had no money to buy before are now available.
Moreover, with a large number of green sword talismans and small thunder talismans in hand, no one who is interested would dare to take action rashly.
The key is that after purchasing the spiritual liquid, you can try to sprint to the fourth level of Qi training. If the bottleneck really disappears, then today will be the day when I will be promoted.
An hour later.
Before Zhang Liang left Qingfengxianfang, he saw a middle-aged man hurriedly walking towards Lingxian Tower.
"Is anyone coming back so soon?"
Zhang Liang still underestimated these fishermen and farmers. Maybe others also discovered the migration of spiritual shrimps. If they arrived late, the price might be reduced.
It's a pity that no matter how fast you come back, you can't come back faster than me.
Sure enough, not long after, I saw the middle-aged man at the door of Lingxian Building, his face turned red: "Why do you want me to sell it at half price? You don't have to suppress the price like this."
"There are just over two hundred of them. You can sell them if you like."
Shopkeeper He didn't even leave the door, his voice was cold.
…
Zhang's Weapon Refining Workshop.
A man was forging a magic sword, and in front of Zhang Liang, a beautiful woman was weaving a green snake net for Zhang Liang.
This is the weapon-refining room of a husband and wife team, which accounts for almost half of Qingfeng Island's weapon-refining business. The boss’s surname is Zhang and his given name is Zhang Wanquan. This beautiful woman is naturally his wife, named Chen Yuan.
Just listen to Chen Yuan say: "Little friend Zhang Liang, do you know what is discounted by half the price?"
Zhang Liang smiled and said: "It's a spiritual shrimp."
This matter will spread soon, so Zhang Liang doesn't mind telling others.
Chen Yuan smiled and said: "It seems that Zhang Liang has sold a lot of shrimps! Otherwise, Lao He wouldn't have lowered the price so much."
"I'm afraid the price will be lower later."
Zhang Wanquan, who was refining the magic weapon, said without raising his head.
Chen Yuan nodded slightly: "I'm just a little curious. It's only been five years since the last spiritual shrimp migration. Logically speaking, it's not the time for the spiritual shrimp migration yet."
Zhang Liang couldn't help but be stunned: "Then how often does this shrimp usually migrate?"
Chen Yuan raised her head and smiled: "You are young, so it is normal for you not to understand this pattern. Spirit shrimps migrate once every seven years. Of course, this pattern may have changed now."
"five years ago?"
Zhang Liang followed his memory. At that time, his predecessor was just on the second level of Qi training, and the island was indeed lively for a while. The predecessor's parents also went to sea that year and never returned.
Thinking about the past, Zhang Liang felt a little depressed, but he didn't care too much.
At this moment, Zhang Wanquan suddenly snorted coldly: "Daughter-in-law, we can't get involved in this matter. Don't forget how Lao Li died back then."
"Old Li?"
Zhang Liang's head moved. "Old Li, this title seems to have left an impression on me."
Wait, Lao Li? Isn't Lao Li the previous manager of Qingfeng Dockyard? It is said that this person was appreciated by the owner of Qingfeng Island and transferred to his side. But according to Zhang Wanquan, this person is dead?
…
A moment later, at Qingfeng Shipyard, the house steward was lying on a rocking chair, holding a teapot, drinking tea, and enjoying himself.
"Housekeeper, I want to register to go to sea."
Manager Fang opened one eye and said in confusion: "Huh? Didn't your kid just come back? Why are you going to sea again?"
Manager Fang realized something was wrong and immediately sat upright. As soon as Zhang Liang came back, he rushed into Qingfeng Xianfang. It had only been less than two hours and he was going to sea again. Is it reasonable?
The room manager said leisurely: "Zhang Xiaoyou, have you found a good place to sell goods in Xianhai?"
Zhang Liang pretended to be honest and said: "Housekeeper, the shrimps are migrating. I have to catch them quickly."
"Pfft~"
The room steward spit out a sip of tea and stood up in shock: "Spirit shrimps migrate? Really?"
Zhang Liang nodded seriously and said: "Manager Fang, not many people know this news yet. Apart from those who have gone to sea, there is also shopkeeper He. You are the second to know."
"really?"
The room manager was so excited that his voice changed. If he was the second to learn the news, he would use the migration of spirit shrimps as information, quickly inform the public, and finally deduct some money on the way...
"Hiss~"
The house steward felt the rolling spiritual stones coming towards his face.
On the surface, the manager of the house laughed and patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder and said: "Uncle, I know you are sensible. In this way, your kid's fish tax will never be an extra spirit coin in the future. Spirit shrimps are migrating, hurry up, Hurry up..."
"Alas~"
After Zhang Liang drove the boat away, the house manager sneered: "Silly boy, you have no idea what you missed."
On top of the Dharma boat, Zhang Liang said with a smile: "Old Fang, Old Fang, just be a monster! If you dare to interfere in this kind of thing, you are a relative of the island owner, and I'm afraid he won't tolerate you."
The house manager has been managing Qingfeng Dockyard for too long. He has been doing small tricks for many years and has become unable to stop.
But what does this have to do with Zhang Liang?
