Chapter 25: Trading Accounts
"Okay, okay, fellow Taoist, no, boss, this way please."
The young man hurriedly led the way: "The place I'm talking about where you can buy spiritual soil is my own sect."
"Just call me Fellow Daoist. Your address is quite up to date. It seems that there are capable people in the sect."
Gu Sanqiu did not intend to reveal his real name. Nowadays, the Xuanmen's understanding of incense burners has probably demonized them. Holding the precious talisman paper and saying that his surname is Gu, even if he denied it ten thousand times, the guy in front of him would probably be certain that he is the successor of the incense burner.
"Hehe , there are a lot of young people here, so the elders in the sect will just let it go. It's not a bad thing for the sect to absorb some new things."
The young man chuckled and said, "My Taoist name is Douyun. It is said that before my master accepted me as his disciple, he fetched a cloud from the sky to make an elixir, hence my Taoist name."
The corner of Gu Sanqiu's mouth twitched slightly. If the young man in front of him was not flowing with authentic Xuanmen magic power, he would almost think that the other party had joined some strange organization.
However, since this guy's Taoist name is so casual, it proves that the sect he belongs to should not be one of those old monster sects that have been passed down since ancient times.
The sects that strictly follow seniority in their Taoist names are really outrageous, but their strength is also quite strong. Basically, all the disciples are able to control thunder and lightning at the same stage.
During the Demon-God War, the Gu family brought a large number of disciples from the old sects down the mountain, and almost lost their inheritance.
However, it was because all the human beings in Liyue worked together that they were able to win the war on the mortal level and establish the vast and peaceful land of Liyue today.
So, now each sect is hiding in Minlin and doing their own things. Occasionally they come down the mountain to look for disciples, or cooperate with the official to exorcise demons or something, and the Seven Stars just turn a blind eye.
"Fellow Daoist, the place ahead is where our sect is stationed. Please wait for a moment while I go and tell the elders in the sect."
Dou Yun ran into the small village ahead in a hurry. Gu Sanqiu could even hear the other party shouting something like "Big business is coming", and it was obvious that he was still not calm.
Soon, Dou Yun ran out with a slightly plump Taoist priest, or a fairy-tale version of a social animal, with a circle of purple-black marks clearly visible around his eye sockets.
"My fellow Taoist, I am truly sorry. When our disciples go down the mountain, they all have some small tasks to perform to gain experience."
The social animal slapped Douyun on the head and said, "This brat's job is to sell some of the goods collected by the sect. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."
"It's okay. I just heard Dou Yun say that your sect has spiritual soil to sell, right? I wonder if you need to transfer it from the sect headquarters, or if you have it here."
As Minlin has a vegetation coverage rate of 80 to 90 percent, the buildings are basically made of wood and stone. It's not that Gu Sanqiu looks down on people, but this place really doesn't feel like a place to store spiritual soil.
"Spiritual soil, right? Yes, there is."
The social animal Taoist priest patted his chest and said, "I have a full cubic meter of spiritual soil here. If you still want some, I guess you can only wait for the sect to urgently ship it."
Urgent delivery?
You talk as if you could fly it to me.
Restraining the urge to complain, Gu Sanqiu began to calculate how long this piece of spiritual soil would last him.
The purpose of his trip was to find high-quality soil such as spiritual soil and start trying to cultivate the things he took out from the golden finger.
When he had just learned how to use the golden finger, Gu Sanqiu had tried a similar method, but either the fertile soil he had found turned into dust, or it turned into extreme elemental products.
He remembered that he had gotten a flame rose and originally planned to put it in his home as a potted plant to please the eye.
Who would have thought that when I woke up the next day, I found that the soil that I had spent a lot of money to get from the farmer, along with the flowerpot, had all turned into a ball of burning flames.
If the Gu family compound wasn't so special, he felt that he would have become a roast duck in a hanging oven and been served on the dining table that night.
After much thought, it seems that only spiritual soil can meet my requirements.
One cubic meter of spiritual soil is only about one cubic meter, which is far from enough for Gu Sanqiu's plan.
"Not enough. I told you, I'll take as much spiritual soil as you have."
Seeing the expression of the Taoist priest who was about to speak but hesitated, Gu Sanqiu said: "I know that there must be hard red line indicators for this kind of scarce resources in the sect. I won't embarrass you."
"I'll take as much as you can. If you're not satisfied with the talisman paper, I can exchange it with other things."
"Of course, if you need Mora, I can give it to you."
As Gu Sanqiu spoke, he reached around his waist for something.
Five pieces of talisman paper, three bottles of precious pills, and a stack of high-denomination silver bills issued by Liyue Bank...
Both the Taoist priest and Dou Yun were sweating profusely. Who on earth is this guy? Why are these good things to him just like cheap goods that can be found at any time at a street stall?
Apart from anything else, just the bottle of elixir, the faint fragrance emanating from it made the Taoist priest, a social animal, tremble with fear, and the magic power in his body kept sending out desires like "I want it".
If it weren't for the fact that the Xuanmen practice pays more attention to things like character, if it were those strange unorthodox practitioners in the past, they might have already snatched it away.
Of course, since the other party can offer so many good things, whether you dare to rob them and whether you will survive to get them after robbing them is also a question.
"You, please wait a moment, I will send a message back to the sect right away."
When the Taoist priest saw Dou Yun drooling over the elixir, he couldn't help but get angry and slapped his nephew in the face.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and pour tea for this Taoist priest! Can you afford to neglect the distinguished guest of the sect?"
…
The logistics transportation this time did not take too much time. Due to the huge amount, this emerging sect in the past few hundred years directly sent five elders and dozens of law enforcement disciples to escort.
"We have brought you the spiritual soil you need. There are a total of fifteen cubes of spiritual soil here. I'm sorry that this is all our sect can offer at the moment."
The five elders first confirmed the authenticity of the talisman paper and the elixir, and then their eyes suddenly became hot when they looked at Gu Sanqiu, as if they saw a well-behaved grandson bringing his girlfriend home to meet his elders.
"I wonder if you have any intention to cooperate with our sect for a long time. If you need it, we can contact other sects to help you purchase the necessary goods."
"No thanks, you're welcome."
Gu Sanqiu smiled and cupped his hands: "Then, see you again if we are destined to meet again."
Put all the brocade boxes or chests containing the spiritual soil into the large cart given by the other party as a gift.
Gu Sanqiu coughed lightly, and a whirlwind appeared out of nowhere, carrying people and goods away.
"call--"
Several elders breathed a sigh of relief at the same time: "When dealing with this person, you really have to be careful about your words and actions at all times, if our guess is correct."
"Haha, who said it wasn't true? That person may not want to reveal his identity, but he probably doesn't know much about certain situations in the circle now."
An elder picked up a bottle of pills, his eyes showing a fascinated look.
"It's just a bottle of Yunhai Pill. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, let alone spiritual soil , I think it will be no problem to exchange it with those old guys for secret techniques."
"Tell the others to pay more attention. Xiangjun's appearance this time may be an opportunity for us!"
