Starting from the scattered cultivator family, daily intelligence

Chapter 19, Lingxiang, Qu Family
Quyou Pavilion

More than a quarter of an hour later, Mu Yunsheng and Mu Kehua arrived at Qihefang Market, in front of a quiet and elegant three-story attic. The attic was built with golden agarwood that was worth a fortune in the secular world. A faint and elegant fragrance emanated from the attic.

Outside the attic, there are clusters of flowers and rare plants, which occupy a large area in the Qihefang market where every inch of land is precious. Among the flowers and rare plants, there are even four pig-sized spiritual beasts, fragrant deer, which wander and play among them without fear of people.

"Yun Sheng, you wait outside first. I will go and ask Manager Tang of Quyou Pavilion." Mu Kehua said to Mu Yunsheng, then he carefully tidied his clothes and walked into Quyou Pavilion with a smile on his old face.

"Yes, uncle." Mu Yunsheng replied, looking at the four spiritual beasts, the fragrant deer, among the flowers and rare plants outside Quyou Pavilion. This was a first-class mid-grade monster, the River-stepping Deer.

Although it looks only the size of a guinea pig, its speed is far beyond that of ordinary Qi-refining cultivators. It can even walk on the river in the air, use earth and wood magic to hurt the enemy, and its sharp mind can sense malicious intent.

If an ordinary cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining encounters this beast, without special means or magical weapons, he will not even be able to defeat this mid-grade monster, the River-Stepping Heavenly Deer.

Once the cultivator it encounters has malicious intentions, the Heavenly Deer will run away without even a trace left.

"Yun Sheng, come in." Not long after, Mu Kehua walked out of Quyou Pavilion and shouted to Mu Yunsheng. The smile on his old face was much happier than the flattering smile he had when he first came in.

"Hmm~" Mu Yunsheng nodded, feeling happy, and walked into Quyou Pavilion with Mu Kehua.

"Come with me, don't touch the things in the pavilion. You will suffer the consequences if you damage anything." There were not many monks coming and going in Quyou Pavilion. A middle-aged man with a two-foot-long beard reminded Mu Yunsheng and Mu Kehua as they walked in.

He was the Manager Tang that Mu Kehua had mentioned earlier. He was a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator who married into the Qu family and served as a second-level manager in Quyou Pavilion.

"Yes, yes... Thank you for the reminder, Master Tang. Master Tang is kind-hearted and doesn't want to see us low-level cultivators being punished. We will definitely keep it in mind and not touch anything." Mu Kehua hurriedly bowed and made a witty promise.

Mu Yunsheng also followed and bowed to Manager Tang.

"Well, let's go." A smile appeared on Manager Tang's face with a two-foot-long beard, and he took Mu Yunsheng and Mu Kehua to the reception room on the first floor of Quyou Pavilion.

Mu Yunsheng followed and saw that on the first floor of Quyou Pavilion, there were various kinds of spiritual incense with different functions, all made of spiritual materials or spiritual jade.

It fully demonstrates the luxury and heritage of the Qu family, one of the Seven Great Masters of the Qianyuan period.

"You two just wait here. I'll go tell Young Master Shang not to run around." Manager Tang led Mu Yunsheng and Mu Kehua into a guest room and gave them instructions before walking out and closing the door.

It took more than two quarters of an hour before Manager Tang came in with a young man about thirty years old.

The young man had a handsome face and was wearing a Qu family uniform with a purple jade Shang character embroidered on it. The aura he exuded was something Mu Yunsheng and Mu Kehua could not sense.

This shows that this Qu family member, who is called Young Master Shang by Master Tang, has either a higher level of cultivation than Mu Yunsheng and Mu Kehua, or he is wearing some magical instrument that hides the aura of his cultivation.

"Where is the mutated spiritual plant?" After entering the pavilion, Master Shang asked Mu Yunsheng and Mu Kehua without any extra words.

"Young Master Shang is here." Mu Yunsheng quickly stood up and handed him the mutated water elemental rice plant in the package.

Young Master Shang took it and observed it carefully for a moment. Then he used his true energy to explore the mutated water elemental rice plant and nodded.

"It is indeed a mutated Water Element Spiritual Rice plant, but this type of mutation has already appeared in other Water Element Spiritual Rice plants. I can only offer thirty low-grade spirit stones."

After saying that, Young Master Shang returned the mutated water elemental rice plant to Mu Yunsheng, and then looked at him.

"Thirty low-grade spirit stones." Mu Kehua's old eyes brightened up. Sometimes it was difficult for him to earn a net profit of thirty low-grade spirit stones in a year.

"Sure!" Mu Yunsheng said with a smile, his face growing even wider as he handed the transformed Water Spirit Rice plant to Young Master Shang again. Water Spirit Rice was only a first-grade, low-grade spiritual rice, priced at three to four pounds per low-grade spirit stone in the Qihe Market. A single Water Spirit Rice plant could only produce about four ounces of Water Spirit Rice at most.

It was calculated that this mutated Shui Yuan Ling rice plant was sold for the price of 300 kilograms of Shui Yuan Ling rice, which was the output of 700 Shui Yuan Ling rice plants.

This is almost half an acre of spiritual field, and the income from growing Shuiyuan spiritual rice. The key is that there is no need to apply fertilizer or plant seeds, which would take a year of hard work.

The price of a first-grade mid-grade spiritual medicine is only about twenty to fifty low-grade spiritual stones.

"Manager Tang, go get thirty low-grade spirit stones for him and put them under my account." Young Master Shang took the mutated Shuiyuan Lingmi plant and instructed Manager Tang beside him, then turned around and said to Mu Yunsheng.

"If you find any unusual spiritual plants in the future, or any spiritual plants you haven't seen before, you can come find me."

After saying this, Young Master Shang took the mutated Water Yuan Ling Rice plant and left without asking Mu Yunsheng's name or where he got the mutated Water Yuan Ling Rice plant.

"Let's go, both of you. I'll go to the counter to get the spirit stones for you." Manager Tang bowed respectfully and watched Young Master Shang leave. Then he stood up and spoke calmly to Mu Yunsheng and Mu Kehua.

"Okay~ Thank you, Master Tang, thank you, Master Tang." Mu Kehua smiled and bowed to Master Tang to express his gratitude, then followed Mu Yunsheng.

After tea time.

Mu Yunsheng and Mu Kehua walked out of Quyou Pavilion. Mu Kehua was holding a wooden box the size of a dressing box, which contained thirty low-grade spirit stones.

Spirit stones are the common currency used by monks for transactions. Another type of currency is spirit rice. Each spirit stone is the size of an egg and contains spiritual energy, which can help monks practice.

It can also arrange magic arrays, restore true essence, drive magic tools, and puppets.

Without special magical instruments, it would be inconvenient for Mu Yunsheng and Mu Kehua to take away the thirty low-grade spirit stones, so they could only put them in a wooden box.

"Yun Sheng, do you have anything else to do in Qihe Market? If not, let's go buy some bitter spirit wheat for you to practice with."

"I don't know what happened in the past few days, but there are many more cultivators from different families buying bitter spirit wheat in Qihe Market, including the children of the Seven Families."

"This has caused the price of Bitter Spiritual Wheat in the market to go up a bit, but with these thirty low-grade spirit stones, we can buy a lot of Bitter Spiritual Wheat for you to cultivate for a while."

Mu Kehua asked Mu Yunsheng and handed the wooden box containing thirty low-grade spirit stones to Mu Yunsheng.

The price of bitter wheat in Qihe Market used to be that one could buy twelve to thirteen pounds of bitter wheat with one low-grade spirit stone. Although the price of bitter wheat in the market has increased, it is still around ten to eleven pounds of low-grade spirit stones.

Thirty low-grade spirit stones can buy at least three hundred kilograms of bitter spirit wheat, which is enough for Mu Yunsheng to practice for half a year.

Mu Kehua and the second elder of the Mu family, Mu Mengshu, had long ago stopped their own cultivation and no longer used cultivation resources to maintain their own cultivation of the Great Dao.

The reason why he was still working hard in Qihe Market was just to earn more cultivation resources for the Caoyang Mu family, as the foundation of the Caoyang Mu family, and leave it to the younger generations of the family.

"I also need to buy defensive talismans, offensive talismans, first-grade mid-grade detoxification pills, and first-grade mid-grade anti-toad poison pills." Mu Yunsheng said with a smile.

If a cultivator in the middle or early stage of Qi Refining suddenly encounters a demon beast at the sixth level of Qi Refining, it will be very troublesome and may even put his life in danger.

However, if a cultivator in the middle or early stage of Qi Refining is well prepared and takes the initiative to encounter a monster beast in the sixth level of Qi Refining, it will save a lot of trouble.
