Ziwei Immortal Path

Chapter 9 Mysterious Seller
Fei Wenyu looked a little sleepy, half lying on the beauty couch, with a cup of sake and a small pile of red hawthorns on the low table next to her.

He had just picked up a hawthorn from the fruit box and was about to put it into his mouth.

Suddenly, the guard came in and whispered:

"Manager, the guy who sold the Soul-Enriching Pill last time is back again!"

"here we go again?"

Fei Wenyu frowned slightly, his hand hanging in the air, then threw the hawthorn back and said in a deep voice,

"Have you checked?"

"I checked! Last time he was wearing a bird-beak mask and a brown leather coat, this time he's wearing a green satin gown and a demon mask, but his figure and tone of voice are the same as last time."

The guard spoke cautiously and carefully.

"You idiot! Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

Fei Wenyu sat up, looking somewhat annoyed, and shouted,

"Since you've come to report me, why are you still talking nonsense? I'm asking you if this person has been here before."

The guard was startled and whispered, "I don't know much about this guy... I'm not sure. There must be at least thousands of people who have come to the Ghost Market before, but this guy does look a bit like the guy sent by the Ding family from Fengqing Town!"

"Ding Tianshi?"

Fei Wenyu's pupils shrank slightly, his eyes were heavy, and he said decisively,

"Impossible! He, Ding Tianshi, is just like me, a disciple of a small sect. Even if he has some connections with the immortal sect and can get some elixirs, elixirs like the Soul-Enriching Pill are not something that can be accessed by someone of his level!"

After hearing this judgment, the guards dared not say anything and lowered their heads in obedience.

"Forget it, what kind of pills did he bring tonight?" Fei Wenyu waved his hand.

"I sent someone to listen. Ten... Soul-Yunling Pills..." The guard spoke in a lower and lower voice.

"What? Ten? Soul-enriching Pills?"

Fei Wenyu was shocked, his mouth was open and he couldn't close it for a while, the more he asked, the louder he got.

"Did you hear correctly?"

"Manager, no, I sent someone to listen and then I went to listen myself. Not only are there ten... Soul-Yunning Pills, there are also two... Soul-Awakening Pills." The guard lowered his head and said timidly.

"what?"

"Spirit-awakening pill?"

Fei Wenyu simply thought he was hard of hearing and had misheard. He suddenly stood up and took two steps closer, staring at the guard with an incredible look on his face, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Is it really the Qiling Pill? Have you taken a good look?"

"I've been following you for years, how dare I deceive you? It's absolutely true!"

The guards didn't know what the Qiling Pill was, but from the tone of voice, they were afraid that something big was going to happen, so they quickly expressed their loyalty and explained the relationship.

Fei Wenyu stood there blankly, his face changing from gloomy to bright. After a moment, cold sweat broke out on his temples, and goose bumps appeared all over his body.
"Could it be that my Fei family has offended some immortal cultivator, and they deliberately sent a small cultivator to cause trouble, so that they can find an excuse to bring bad luck to Lou Fushan?"

"Could it be someone from the Wuyin Chen family? They've been fighting with the Jinguang Lin family for Jianshui's territory, so what does it have to do with my family?"

"The ancestor has already closed the mountain gate to avoid disaster, and all the major and minor clans have retreated to the mountain. However, he cannot bear to part with this ghost market and ordered me to garrison here. Could it be that his Chen family has the intention of swallowing up my family?"

The more Fei Wenyu thought about it, the more frightened he became. He just wanted to get the shuttle immediately and go back to the mountain, but just as he turned around, another thought flashed through his mind.

"No, if I go back and report without knowing the truth, what if the ancestor comes down in person and that person just walks away? Then I will be in big trouble. It is better to keep him here and find out the truth first. It will not be too late to report later."

"Yes, first take the pills from him. If you take these pills south or across the Huai River, their price will at least double. Although those casual cultivators in the ghost market don't know the value of them, if someone is so foolish as to take them, it will be a huge loss!"

Fei Wenyu pondered this and felt even more terrified. He waved his hand and whispered, "Come here!"

The guard hurriedly bowed and took small steps forward.

Fei Wenyu took out a jade seal and whispered:
"Take my seal, go to the storehouse, and get... three hundred spirit stones! No! Four hundred!"

The guard was panicked when he heard this. He swallowed his saliva and nodded. Just as he turned around, he was grabbed by Fei Wenyu again. He only heard his vicious voice coming from his ear:

"Remember! Don't tell anyone about this, or you'll have to find your own grave first!"

Xu Boyang was a little discouraged and a little irritated. He went around for a while tonight but didn't sell a single Soul-Enhancing Pill. As for the Soul-Activating Pill, no one knew what it was.

"This is really a lesson for me. Next time, I must ask about the types and effects of these pills. Otherwise, I've been busying myself for nothing. I also asked about the pills I need to take. This way, I can last longer."

Xu Boyang walked while thinking to himself.

"Fellow Taoist, please stay."

A slightly light and familiar voice came from behind.

Xu Boyang felt like a thorn in his back for a moment, and immediately turned around and glanced over.

“Fei Wenyu?”

Xu Boyang was a little surprised.

Fei Wenyu was seen standing on the busy street of the ghost market with one hand behind his back and a folding fan in the other, smiling happily.

Looking for trouble again?

This was Xu Boyang’s first reaction.

He then asked, "Manager Fei, what's the matter?"

Fei Wenyu's heart trembled. He had good eyesight and recognized Xu Boyang at a glance.

Of course, this is not because he has supernatural powers.

The main reason was that Xu Boyang wore the fanged devil mask again.

In fact, Fei Wenyu is not very old, only twenty-three years old, but he is already at the eighth level of the Condensation Stage and his spiritual awareness is not low. It has only been half a year since the last time, so he will definitely not forget it.

"So it's the guy from last time. Yes, he was also the one reselling the Bone-Growing Pill, but I remember he was just a mortal when he came last time."

"Could he really be from the Ding family of Fengqing Town? But why is he practicing again after not seeing him for several months?"

Fei Wenyu's eyes rolled and he smiled, "So it's you, young master. I'm sorry to bother you. I heard you're selling elixirs tonight, and this is exactly the kind of elixir my family needs. I wonder if you could spare me a moment to talk?"

Does the Fei family still need elixirs?
After hearing this, Xu Boyang found it hard to believe. The Fei family had been operating the ghost market for many years, and the elixirs and spirit stones must have piled up like a mountain. Yet, there was actually a time when they needed to buy elixirs.

I guess it's because these two kinds of elixirs are scarce! Oh right! Fei Wenyu is also from the Fei family, so isn't it a good opportunity to ask him about the Construction Bank?

Xu Boyang pondered for a moment, then made up his mind. He nodded and extended his hand, saying, "That's all right. Please lead the way, Manager Fei."

"please!"

Fei Wenyu was very polite and immediately led the way. The two of them walked through the tents in the ghost market and arrived at a house not far away. The outside looked unremarkable, but the inside was magnificent.

After Xu Boyang sat down, someone brought him tea and fruit. Fei Wenyu smiled and said,
"I wonder where you are from, sir?"

"You're not asking about the elixir, but the directions? I'm afraid you don't want to buy the elixir, right?"

Xu Boyang was secretly shocked, but he kept silent. He picked up the tea, lifted a corner of his mask, took a sip, and said lightly:
"Manager Fei, your words don't seem to conform to the rules of the Ghost Market, but the Ghost Market is owned by your family. How should I answer you?"

"He's definitely not a good person!"

Fei Wenyu's heart sank, and he looked a little embarrassed. He immediately sneered and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for talking too much. I wonder if I could take a look at the elixir you have this time."

"Of course you can. Your reputation is well-known."

Xu Boyang was not afraid that he would take it all by himself. If he did, it would not be Xu Boyang's business alone.

Xu Boyang didn't think Ziyi's family background was worse than Fei's.

After saying that, he took out a bottle of Yunling Pill and a bottle of Qiling Pill from his bag and held them in his palm.
"Thank you."

Fei Wenyu laughed, stepped forward and took it with both hands, scanned it with his spiritual consciousness, and then his face changed slightly. He opened it and looked at it, and laughed.
"Sir, what a great elixir! What a great elixir!"

He quickly handed it back with both hands and asked, "I wonder how much you want for it?"

Seeing that Fei Wenyu was actually talking about pills and asking about their prices, Xu Boyang's guard dropped a little and he simply said, "Yuling Pills are 15, Qiling Pills are 20!"

The price he offered was not high, it could be said to be very low, and he simply sold the Qi Ling Dan at the same price without adding any profit.

Firstly, Xu Boyang thought that he might need help from others for the business, and secondly, he just hoped that Fei Wenyu would buy a few more bottles. After all, there were too many Yunling Pills, which was beyond his ability.

"Good boy! You really came to my house to pick a fight with such a low price! If I buy it, I'm afraid it won't be long before the Huang Ting Yu Shi comes to call me to task!"

Fei Wenyu's heart was filled with huge waves of emotion, but he didn't dare to show any expression on his face. He glanced at Xu Boyang and began to hesitate.

Just now, he used his spiritual consciousness to scan it, and found that the pill itself had some obstructions. After opening the pill and taking a look, he was very sure that these pills could not have come from an ordinary foundation-building family, but at least from a feathered priest of the [Huangting Stage]!

Each realm of immortal cultivation has its own title. Those in the Condensation Stage can be called minor cultivators or Taoist priests, those in the Foundation Establishment Stage can be called Taoist priests or Taoist priests, and those in the Huangting Stage are honored as Feathered Priests!

How could this Huang Ting Yu Shi be just an ordinary person? Most of them are high-ranking figures from the immortal sect!
When Fei Wenyu thought of Huang Ting Yushi, he couldn't help but shudder. He quickly pulled his thoughts back, looked at Xu Boyang, smiled, and said softly:
"Sir, this price..."

Xu Boyang felt disgusted when he saw him, and thought to himself:

"Most likely because you think they're too expensive. Even if you buy them all, I'll only make a profit of twenty coins. The question is, will you buy them all?"

He couldn't help but frown slightly, thinking that he might as well lower the price of the Soul-Enriching Pill by one. If the price goes any lower, he won't sell it. Otherwise, it would be meaningless. There are still three months left anyway, so he can just grind it out slowly.

"too low!"

Fei Wenyu slapped his thigh and said loudly, "Young Master, although our Ghost Market isn't as open and aboveboard as Xinyue Lake, when it comes to trading spiritual objects, it's always fair and just, based on mutual consent. Otherwise, how could so many independent cultivators be so interested in it? Young Master, such a low price is practically a reward. How can we take it for free? Young Master, no, absolutely not!"

what?
Xu Boyang opened his eyes wide, looked carefully through the mask, and was sure that it was Fei Wenyu who was speaking.

Is there anyone in this world who thinks doing business is cheap?
Not interested here?

Xu Boyang understood instantly and became a little angry. He came here for nothing and just had a sip of tea. Now he had nothing to do and was making fun of me?

Suddenly he stopped and stared blankly at Fei Wenyu taking out a small box.

After opening it, it shines brightly!
A whole small box of spirit stones!

One by one, neatly arranged!

"Sir, since this is our first meeting, the price should be based on the market price. It's fair and just. 31 Soul-Enriching Pills, 41 Soul-Awakening Pills. I'm adding a round number. Just to make friends, 400 Spirit Stones. Please order."

what happened?

When Xu Boyang saw the scene in front of him, he did not feel ecstatic, but instead wondered if there was some trap.
Is Fei Wenyu crazy?

Four hundred spirit stones... wouldn't that mean I'd have made a profit of two hundred and thirty?!
Xu Boyang swallowed his saliva, said nothing, and stared at the small box of fluorescent spirit stones.

Because Xu Boyang was wearing a mask, Fei Wenyu couldn't see his expression. Seeing that he was unmoved, she groaned inwardly:

"Four hundred spirit stones are not enough? Could this be the illegitimate child of some immortal cultivator? Is he deliberately coming to my house to extort money?"

"Yes, he's only at the second level of the Condensation Stage. It's not very elegant for him to go out with a box of spirit stones like this. How could I have forgotten?"

He smiled and said, "If you think the amount is okay, I'll put it in the storage bag!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, and a moment later someone brought up an exquisite and small storage bag.

Xu Boyang lowered his head, coughed, and chuckled softly, "Brother Fei is really a quick-witted person!"

As soon as he said this and changed the address, Fei Wenyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Excuse me, sir. We are a small place with crude customs, and we can't compare to the complicated formalities of big cities. So, is this matter settled?"

"Wait a minute!"

Xu Boyang said lightly.

Fei Wenyu's heart immediately jumped to his throat again, his face turned pale, and he stopped moving. He only heard Xu Boyang laugh dryly and said, "Brother Fei, please pack 200 pieces. I will pack the rest myself."

After saying that, he lowered his head and took out the pills one by one from his bag.

"Yes, he can't use the storage bag. Send two hundred back home, and use two hundred for yourself."

Fei Wenyu understood instantly and nodded quickly, "I understand! I understand!"

After the payment and goods were settled, and the four hundred spirit stones were in his pocket, Xu Boyang was instantly filled with gratitude towards Fei Wenyu, and his favorability towards him increased greatly. He simply clasped his fists and said, "Brother Fei is indeed straightforward!"

Fei Wenyu replied, "I'm not afraid, but I wonder where you're going, sir. Do you need me to give you a ride on my shuttle?"

"No need, I will stay in Dongke tonight, but I have something else to trouble you, Manager Fei." Xu Boyang thought about it and just said it directly.

"He's not someone you can easily get rid of..."

Fei Wenyu felt bitter in his heart, and just said, "It's okay, please speak."

"I'd like to set up shop in Dongke Town and do some ordinary business that doesn't involve the immortals. I wonder if you could help me?"

Xu Boyang tried his best to make things simple and easy to understand.

"Ordinary business?"

Fei Wenyu was a little confused. He had never heard that a cultivator would do ordinary business. Aren't cultivators supposed to be submissive, cultivate their nature, and seek the path to immortality?

What other business are you doing?
Xu Boyang looked at Fei Wenyu with a strange expression, paused, and asked:

"Not available?"

Fei Wenyu laughed heartily: "Convenient, convenient! Sir, you're joking, how could it not be convenient?"
