Chapter 34: Xuanling Sanren [Regarding August's monthly ticket] Old Man Ye also nodded. Every year on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, there would be a large rally in Qinghefang Market that would last for three days. By then, all the major Qi-cultivating immortal clans in the Qinghe Islands, as well as homeless wandering cultivators, will go there to buy New Year's goods and take this opportunity to sell some useless treasures. At that time, Qinghe Market will be crowded with people. They will take this opportunity to sell chalcedony rice, and the possibility of being targeted will be smaller. In addition, there are many treasures at the big gathering, which are by no means comparable to the small gathering once in March, and their possibility of buying cheap materials will also greatly increase. Thinking of this, Old Man Ye smiled and said, "I'll go with you to avoid being targeted by others." Early the next morning, Old Man Ye loaded three hundred kilograms of spiritual rice with Nahai shells, and then took Ye Linyuan on board the boat. This time, they not only brought chalcedony rice, but also loaded several hundred kilograms of miscellaneous rice on the boat. The value of the mixed spiritual rice is low, only one-thirtieth of that of chalcedony rice, but it still has a relatively thin spiritual energy. It is the staple food of menial disciples in the foundation-building immortal sect. Some casual Qi-refining cultivators and small Qi-refining clans can also afford it. Now that the Ye family has chalcedony rice, they will no longer be interested in these miscellaneous spiritual rices and plan to take this opportunity to sell them off in exchange for some broken spiritual stones.
Because they were carrying several hundred kilograms of mixed spiritual rice, Old Man Ye and his companions slowed down a lot, and it took them nearly seven days to arrive at Qinghe Xianfang. Fortunately, the journey was calm and there was no danger. After docking the boat, Old Man Ye carried several hundred kilograms of mixed spiritual rice onto the dock, and then rented an ox cart to pull the mixed spiritual rice to Qinghe Xianfang. When they arrived at Qinghe Xianfang again, Ye Linyuan found that it was no longer Jiang Qingyan who was guarding the gate. They did not waste any more time and went straight into Qinghe Xianfang. Compared with the previous time, this time the Qinghe Immortal Square was packed with people. The two came to the market and found that there were thousands of cultivators here. Most of the more than 300 stalls in the market are basically full. "There are still some stalls left. It looks like we're not too late." Old Man Ye said this and then rented a remote stall. Coinciding with the annual grand gathering, the price of renting a stall has increased a lot. A day in a good location often costs two or three Broken Spirit Stones, and a day in a remote location costs only one Broken Spirit Stone. Under normal circumstances, this price would be enough to rent for ten days or half a month. Old Man Ye was reluctant to spend money, so he rented a stall in the corner using a piece of broken spirit stone, but even so he was content. After renting the stall, Old Man Ye put the chalcedony rice and miscellaneous rice on the stall. Whether it is Chalcedony Rice or Miscellaneous Spirit Rice, they are hard currencies in Qinghe Xianfang and the demand for them is huge. The mixed spiritual rice sold very quickly. In just one morning, it was bought up by independent cultivators and some Qi-refining families. In the Qinghe Islands, mixed spiritual rice is the most basic spiritual item that ordinary cultivators and small families can access. Although the Ye family regarded the mixed spiritual rice as a treasure before, those Qi training families with deeper foundation regarded the mixed spiritual rice as the staple food of the cultivators in the family. After all, mixed spiritual rice is not expensive. One spirit stone can buy three thousand kilograms of it, which is enough for a Qi training family to eat for a whole year. Compared to the miscellaneous spiritual rice, the sales speed of chalcedony rice is much slower. After all, the price of chalcedony rice is thirty times more expensive than that of the miscellaneous spiritual rice, and ordinary Qi training families simply cannot afford it. If a Qi-cultivating cultivator consumes chalcedony rice all year round, although his cultivation speed can be greatly increased, the annual consumption will be more than three spirit stones.
Families in the late stage of Qi training would often only purchase enough for one or two people, to cultivate the family's direct descendants and for use in the late stage of Qi training. Fortunately, the New Year is approaching, and many Qi-training families have gritted their teeth and purchased a small amount of chalcedony rice in order to have a good new year. This store bought three to five catties, that store bought ten catties, and some casual cultivators gritted their teeth and only bought one or two catties. Before they knew it, they had sold more than a hundred catties. Seeing that more than a hundred catties of chalcedony rice had been sold in one morning, Old Man Ye smiled. Because it was the end of the year, they sold the chalcedony rice at a higher price this time. One piece of broken spirit stone could only buy nine taels and five pieces of chalcedony rice, which increased their profits significantly. In fact, the Ye family was already selling it at a low price. The Qinghe Xianfang shop was already selling it for nine taels of a broken spirit stone. Because of this, their sales speed is not slow. "It looks like we can sell out this batch of spiritual rice tomorrow morning." After seeing off another guest, Old Man Ye couldn't help but count the broken spirit stones in his hand, and a smile appeared in his eyes. Just at this moment, Ye Linyuan suddenly felt a unique breath coming, and he frowned and looked up to the distance. But among the crowd at the stall, a handsome man in blue clothes walked over. The man looked no more than thirty years old, with an exceptionally handsome and elegant appearance. He just walked over calmly, and the people around him made way for him. But when the man came to the stall, he glanced at Ye Linyuan and Old Man Ye calmly, then smiled and said, "I heard that you sell chalcedony rice here?" "It's him." Old Man Ye raised his head, took a look at the man, and suddenly his expression changed. He quickly stood up and bowed, saying with great respect, "It turns out that it is Master Xuanling who is here in person. I am honored to meet you." Ye Linyuan's heart was slightly shaken when he heard this. Master Xuanling is also known as Xuanling Sanren. He is a well-known independent cultivator in the Qinghe Islands. Legend has it that he is only in his early forties, but his cultivation has reached the eighth level of Qi training. He is the most famous independent cultivator in the Qinghe Islands. The most important thing is that Xuanling Sanren has extremely high talent and is a first-class top-grade spiritual plant husband. As a first-class, top-grade spiritual plant husband, Xuanling Sanren controls the most basic and critical means of production. His status and reputation are quite honorable, and all the cultivators in the late stage of Qi training and those who have mastered the hundred arts of cultivation in the entire Qinghe Islands treat him as a guest of honor. It was even rumored that even the foundation-building ancestor of the Qinghe Immortal Sect looked up to him and even wanted to take him in as his disciple. But for some reason, Xuanling Sanren never became a disciple of a foundation-building cultivator. But no matter what, as a first-grade top-grade spiritual plant husband, Xuanling Sanren has a very noble and extraordinary status. In the entire Qinghe Islands, his cultivation level might not rank among the top ten casual cultivators, but the wealth he possesses is enough to rank among the top three among casual cultivators. Why would such a person come to their stall? "Could it be that our sale of spiritual rice has affected Xuanling Sanren's business?" Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, but quickly rejected this idea.
It’s the end of the month, and I hope everyone can give this book your monthly votes next month. There is fierce competition for new books now, and I hope to get your support.
