Chapter 35: Actually Got Sold Out

Fu Yongxin was taken aback by Bai Yuming sky-high price.

Often times, Fu Yongxin could barely accept to buy a life-saving artifact in Dongxu period when it was charged over 400,000 spirit stones.

But now, Fu Yongxin was still worried that he would miss something good, so he asked, “Dare to ask this junior, what’s the effect this couplets had?”

Each and every passing day, Fu Yongxin is getting older and he’s still far away from getting a breakthrough, if he want to cultivate faster, he needs to gain more experiences. But who knows what would happen to him if he went out to gain life experience without any life-saving talismans, a million spirit stones is nothing compared to preserving their own life.

Mo Shulin didn’t expect Fu Yongxin to be so anxious for high-end items, this shows that Fu Yongxin would start to cultivate outside in the near future.

Let’s just talk about Dongxu period artifacts, even if it was priced for a million spirit stones, it could still be counted as cheap. But these couplets were written in ordinary red papers, with nothing special on it. Even if it has overwhelming spiritual energy, it’s material is still fragile, and once it broke, it would instantly turned into a disposable item, reducing it’s value.

After all, it’s the price his Master said, and he should save his Master’s face.

Mo Shulin could only bite the bullet and explained, “These couplets has many varieties of effects.”

“Elder, even if this item can only be used once, it was inlaid with a rebound-attack formation spell, so it’s not a defensive artifact.”

“When you paste it in your front door, it could protect the occupants living inside. Similarly, you could also bring it along or stick it into a defensive artifacts.”

“What’s more, many high-level artifacts are limited by materials. It requires a similar level of cultivation to use. But this couplets are different, as long as there’s a trace of spiritual energy, you could instantly use it. You won’t need to waste too much spiritual energy even when you’re in a life threatening situations.”

“Well, you could place it inside a high-end storage bag and it won’t affect the couplets.”

“Also, a high-grade Dongxu period artifacts usually priced around five million spirit stones. But here, we only charge it for a million spirit stones.”

“Even if you find a Dongxu period cultivator who’s able to make a single use rebound-attack artifact, are you sure they would make it for you?”

“Elder, you have to think about it a little bit. When you encounter a life threatening situation, would you really care about buying a single use artifact?”

“When your life is in danger, you could also throw these couplets and it’ll get affected by external force by it’s own, causing a great explosion. The stronger the force, the harder it is to control.”

Not only Fu Yongxin, but Bai Yuming was also shocked.

He knew the approximate price of the items on the stall, because both of them have discussed it before they set up the stall. In Mo Shulin’s consideration, the Rabbit New Year couplets could be charged at 280,000 spirit stones. If they meet someone who knows the estimate value of these items, they could sell it at 180,000 spirit stones.”

The poor materials can be counted as a flaw. No matter how beautiful the painting is, it could only last for two years, and for an elder, two years are very short.

Mo Shulin had said so much, after all, to protect his face.

Listening to Mo Shulin’s endless boasting, Bai Yuming’s heart was warm. His little disciple is so understanding and reliable.

“Elder, let me say one last thing.” Mo Shulin lowered his voice, pretending to be serious, “Have you met any other cultivator who could transfer such enormous spiritual energy to an ordinary paper?”

“If you’re in a battle, your opponent would never expect it.”

“Do you think it still not worth buying for a million high-grade spirit stones?”

Fu Yongxin originally wanted to keep the price below 250,000 high-grade spirit stones, but after listening to Mo Shulin’s words, Fu Yongxin suddenly felt that he was lucky enough to meet such item. Fearing he would never find any other artifact like this, Fu Yongxin immediately took out his money.

Mo Shulin had prepared a bamboo tube inlaid with a preservation array to place the rolled up couplets inside. The bamboo tube was made to be simple and modest, so anyone could easily take it out.

Fu Yongxin is proficient in spell formation technique, but he was still being attentive to what Mo Shulin is doing.

In order to make shopping experience become more comfortable, even if the price is expensive, the service these items bring should satisfy the costumers, so it could create balance in their hearts.

Gong Shuo and Shi Haicheng beside them were equally intrigued, but unfortunately their pockets were shy so they can’t buy these sky-high items, now they could only ask the prices for the remaining New Year couplets.

After the value was raised by the first New Year couplets, Mo Shulin could no longer sell it at the original price.

The Rabbit New Year couplets in the Fit period were charged for 200,000 high-grade spirit stones. Gong Shuo, an outer disciple, was shocked since the price was beyond his expectation. Shi Haicheng, as an inner disciple with a family background, grinds his teeth and bought one. Fu Yongxin felt that buying one was useless, so he took out another 400,000 high-grade spirit stones and bought two couplets that fit together, only leaving four couplets left.

Because the rest of the couplets are only in the Distraction period or the Consummation period, also with a poor handwriting and materials, the price is not much higher.

But lower prices are easier to sell. Spring couplets for the Distraction period and the Consummation period were sold out at the price of three high-grade spirit stones and 300 high-grade spirit stones respectively.

After spending so much money, their storage bag has suffered a heavy blow, and Fu Yongxin felt that he couldn’t stay anymore, but he was still worried if he missed other good items in the stall.

The other two disciples also felt the same way.

Especially the outer disciple Gong Shuo. He always he made a lot of money by setting up stalls in the past few years. But seeing these good items that he can’t afford, he became energized to make more money.

“What is this?” When Fu Yongxin asked, he was afraid the item would turn out to be something good and his pockets got sucked dry.

“Elder, this is the Fit period heart-cleansing talismans. A stack of talismans will be priced for 480 high-grade spirit stones and the price can’t be bargained.” Mo Shulin chose the one with the best characters to show the other, but after he unfolded it a little, he placed it back again.

Changwu Peak gave out the materials and purchases them at a low market price, only to sell them again and charge it with additional three high-grade spirit stone for labor.

Now selling it at the booth, Mo Shulin had to take the material cost of these talismans and profits into account, so naturally he can only charge for 480 high-grade spirit stones.

Fu Yongxin nodded, but didn’t speak any longer.

Usually a combination of many periods of heart-cleansing talismans would be sold in six hundred high-grade spirit stones. The stall only sells it for 480 high-grade spirit stones, which is actually quite worth it. Reselling these talismans could also gain more money.

But Fu Yongxin already had a similar talismans, and the demand for heart-cleansing talismans weren’t so high.

Mo Shulin knew that after Fu Yongxin had paid out 1.4 million high-grade spirit stones, it would be difficult to spend more money since his pockets has been severely damaged.

Therefore, Mo Shulin smiled and said. “This disciple doesn’t recommend the elder to buy them. The elder can use their contributions to the sect in exchange for better quality and cheaper prices of heart-cleansing talismans on Changwu Peak.”

Even if the elder wanted to buy heart-cleansing talismans from Changwu Peak, it would still be cheaper than the one charged in the stall.

This is an elder-level treatment.

Fu Yongxin couldn’t understand Mo Shulin’s words. Normally, Changwu Peak didn’t have any more supply of heart-cleansing talismans. Now that Mo Shulin said so, it was clear that he had written another stacks of heart-cleansing talismans and sell it to Changwu Peak.

“Good, good.” Fu Yongxin thought this little disciple was really clever. He didn’t openly brag or insist to buy more items in the stall.

In a happy mood, Fu Yongxin didn’t rush to leave either. He planned to stay for a while to examine the remaining two items that seemed to be ordinary. If they weren’t expensive, he would help to buy some.

Bai Yuming still maintained the immortal cultivator style of reading posture, but inside, his soul was already ecstatic imagining a million of high-grade spirit stones.

The price he casually said has really got sold?!

How many rooms he could add to the house now, five rooms? six rooms? No, no, he already have a million, of course he has to change to a better house.

He have to buy another house for the little disciple!

With a house, it’ll be easier if the little disciple wanted to find a partner when he grows up.
