Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 136

Chapter 136: The Feeling of Being Wealthy

Jiang Hao set up his stall in the same place, and Shi Xin didn’t rush to leave.

Instead, he stayed and set up his stall with things that weren’t very valuable.

Jiang Hao’s decision not to leave surprised him.

……

By noon.

Jiang Hao sighed as he saw that many items hadn’t been sold.

He had thought he could sell for two thousand spirit stones.

In the end, he only sold for one thousand.

Now he had twelve thousand seven hundred spirit stones.

“The purchasing power at this market is quite limited,” Jiang Hao shook his head.

“It’s because the items you have are too good, not everyone can afford them,” Shi Xin explained from the side.

Jiang Hao nodded.

He had Healing Talismans and Pain Relieving Talismans; in the end, all the Pain Relieving Talismans were sold, but only a few Healing Talismans were sold.

Not to mention the Hundred Thousand Swords Talisman.

It costs dozens of spirit stones, and few Qi Refining cultivators can afford it.

And as for those at the Foundation Establishment level, they are rarely seen here.

So far, he had only seen one person in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

That was Shi Xin, who had bought his Heaven Replenishing Pill.

Packing up his things, Jiang Hao planned to leave.

“If you want to sell everything, you could go to Yunshang Pavilion inside. Their prices are quite fair. Of course, if you continue to set up your stall, you could probably sell out by tonight,” Shi Xin kindly reminded him.

“Are there more people at night?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Indeed, there will be many more people at night, but with the crowd comes chaos, and it’s easy to be bumped into by some ignorant young masters and mistresses,” Shi Xin sighed.

Jiang Hao hesitated and then asked, “Zuo Lan starts selling in the afternoon, right?”

“Yes, but there might not be any stalls available at night,” Shi Xin nodded.

“Can I reserve a stall?”

“You can’t, but if you want to set up tonight, I can wait here for you.”

“Thank you.”

Jiang Hao nodded and added, “If I have to leave for some reason, you don’t have to wait for me.”

“Okay,” Shi Xin nodded.

Jiang Hao left the stall area and made his way to the Yunshang Pavilion that Shi Xin had mentioned.

It was a loft located in the center of the street.

He had seen it before.

Without hesitation, he entered the loft.

There were a few people moving around inside.

The interior of the loft was quite exquisite, though it couldn’t compare to the Xuelian Pavilion of the Tianyin Sect.

He approached the counter and asked, “Do you buy items?”

“We do, but what do you want to sell? We don’t take very common items,” the fairy at the counter said with a smile.

Jiang Hao sensed a trace of confidence in her eyes, as if working here was a significant achievement.

After thinking about it, he felt that might be true.

After all, most of the cultivators here were at the Qi Refining stage.

Without further thought, he took out a spirit sword and a bottle of Foundation Establishment cultivation pills.

“Items like these.”

He didn’t plan to sell the talismans.

He could sell those through normal channels without having to accept a lower price.

He had too many spirit swords and planned to sell some.

Even if the price was lower, it was better than using several swords to kill.

“Spirit Building Pill?” The fairy at the counter was a bit surprised after checking the bottle.

This pill wasn’t very expensive, but having such pills suggested that the person might be a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

After speculating, she immediately stood up, somewhat flustered, and said:

“Senior, please come inside.”

Jiang Hao nodded, indifferent to the reaction.

Soon, he was led to a room inside, where a beautiful woman was present.

After the guiding fairy explained Jiang Hao’s intention, she respectfully left.

“Are you looking to sell a spirit sword and Spirit Building Pills?” Chen Sisi checked the pills and, finding no issues, said,

“The quality of these pills is average; we’ll take them for thirty spirit stones per bottle.”

Thirty was a bit low; Spirit Building Pills were suitable for the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and a bottle contained ten pills.

The Tianyin Sect’s selling price should be between forty and fifty.

However, every Foundation Establishment disciple could receive one bottle per month.

“That’s fine.”

Jiang Hao nodded, then took out other pills and said, “Continue with the appraisal.”

He also brought out some Golden Core stage pills.

He wanted to sell everything he could.

The person before him, at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, should have some discernment.

Otherwise, how could she dare to sit here?

“Golden Core level pills? Where did you get these?” Chen Sisi suddenly became a bit uneasy.

“Can you take them?” Jiang Hao countered.

She fell silent for a moment, then began to appraise the items.

After going through various items, she offered a total price of nine hundred and eighty spirit stones.

Jiang Hao sighed lightly; although he hadn’t brought out the talismans, he had brought the pills he had obtained from Po Lang.

In the end, the total didn’t even reach a thousand.

If this place was considered fair, how much more would others rip him off?

Without dwelling on these thoughts, he picked out a spirit sword and asked,

“How much for this?”

“This spirit sword is well-crafted; we’ll take it for five spirit stones,” Chen Sisi replied.

Jiang Hao was silent for a moment, then said, “Six.”

“That’s fine,” Chen Sisi nodded without hesitation.

Just a spirit stone, that’s all.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao waved his hand and produced a hundred spirit swords:

“Here are another hundred.”

Chen Sisi was momentarily stunned at the sight of so many spirit swords.

At that moment, she could definitely sense that the person before her was no ordinary individual.

“Can you take them?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Yes,” Chen Sisi nodded.

The final transaction price was one thousand six hundred spirit stones.

Adding to the twelve thousand seven hundred he already had, that made a total of fourteen thousand three hundred.

After receiving the spirit stones, he found it somewhat unbelievable.

Just a few robberies, and he had amassed fourteen thousand.

After deducting the costs for Azure Red Sky and the penalties from the Hall of Enforcement, he was left with over a thousand.

This was even before finding Zuo Lan, who often sold information here and was likely quite wealthy.

For a moment, Jiang Hao felt a surge of joy.

The future looked promising.

After the transaction, Chen Sisi’s attitude towards Jiang Hao became much more polite.

However, she still retained a sense of superiority.

They were both at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, but her status was higher.

Such petty emotions were long gone for Jiang Hao, as one had to be very careful living in the Tianyin Sect.

He had no room for such lowly feelings.

Even when he reached the complete stage of Golden Core, surpassing Senior Brother Mu Qi and on par with Liu Xingchen, he kept his pride in check.

Putting his thoughts aside, he began to shop:

“Do you have any tea leaves?”

“What kind of tea would you like, Fellow daoist?” Chen Sisi asked with a smile:

“We have Red Sleeve Fragrance for ten spirit stones per mace, Snow After Spring for five spirit stones per mace, and Qingkong Yun for three spirit stones per mace.”

Jiang Hao was astonished; were they really that cheap?

He asked to see them, and upon inspecting the low-grade quality, he realized they were practically trash.

He wouldn’t dare brew them for that woman even if they were given to him for free.

“Do you have more expensive Snow After Spring?” Jiang Hao felt he shouldn’t let her set the price.

“More expensive?” Chen Sisi was puzzled.

Jiang Hao took out the Snow After Spring he had and said:

“At least this quality, don’t bother bringing anything worse than this.”

The Snow After Spring he had was the lowest quality tea he had bought.

“Is this high-grade Snow After Spring?” Chen Sisi was astonished.

“Do you have it?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Yes, upstairs. I’ll have someone fetch it right away,” Chen Sisi replied, not daring to delay.

Who was this big spender?

Soon, Jiang Hao saw the Snow After Spring, which was not much different in quality from his own.

“Fifty-five spirit stones per mace,” Chen Sisi said softly.

For her, this was a luxury among luxuries.

Fifty-five per mace, she wouldn’t dare to dream of drinking it.

She would only dare to buy a mace when meeting important figures.
