I Cultivate Longevity in the Cultivation Realm
Chapter 189 - 112: Grade-3 Spirit Plant, 100-Year-Old Spirit Tea Tree (Part 3)
The young man lately came because my second batch of Spirit Gathering Grass has already matured, not sure if your Shuiyun Pavilion would be willing to take them?"
Fellow Daoist Zhou quickly explained, and with a flip of his hand, he took out a box and said, "Last time I noticed you seemed to enjoy tea quite a lot, so I found some tea leaves just as a token of thanks for your assistance tomorrow."
With that, he handed over the box.
The box contained freshly crafted Spirit Tea, specially prepared by someone before he came.
Although it’s not the aged tea with the depth of a hundred years, it’s the first batch of tender tea leaves from his successfully cultivated Third-Grade Spirit Plant, Centennial Spirit Tea Tree.
Five pounds of tender tea leaves, processed into dried tea, only resulted in one pound.
But the value is undoubtedly significant.
At the time, the tea farmer, having sharp eye power, stated straightforwardly during processing that he’d be willing to buy half a pound for a thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, which he did not agree to.
"I certainly accept the Spirit Gathering Grass.
I’ll take as much as you have.
Last time, it was thanks to your Spirit Gathering Grass that Shuiyun Pavilion was able to break through and establish collaborations with several cultivator clans.
I hadn’t expected Fellow Daoist Zhou to grow a second batch of Spirit Gathering Grass so quickly.
As for this tea..."
Shen Xinyue was first pleased, naturally not rejecting business, especially since Zhou Changwang’s Spirit Gathering Grass was of excellent quality, producing many Spirit Pills, which allowed Shuiyun Pavilion to earn a significant profit last time.
But she shook her head at the gift, saying, "The reason I agreed to host the trade before was partly due to Xiaoyue, and also because I was grateful that you were willing to sell me that batch of Spirit Gathering Grass last time, wishing to maintain cooperation with you in the future.
This gift is not necessary.
It’s just a small gesture, especially now that the marketplace hasn’t yet descended into chaos, I believe Luoxia Fairy wouldn’t dare do anything rash."
"Please accept it, it’s just a small token of regard, nothing particularly precious."
Zhou Changwang continued.
Upon hearing this, Shen Xinyue did not hesitate further and took the box of tea leaves, thinking to herself that she would simply take more care for him tomorrow, she didn’t open it but collected it, and placed it into her Storage Bag.
"Here’s this batch of Spirit Gathering Grass.
Luckily, I had an empty Storage Bag that could fit them all, so I brought them over."
As Zhou Changwang spoke, he swiftly took out all the Spirit Gathering Grass from his Storage Bag.
Baskets of Spirit Gathering Grass were neatly arranged, nearly filling up the entire living room.
"Indeed it’s Spirit Gathering Grass, no worse in grade than last time, some even better."
Seeing this, Shen Xinyue cast her eyes and released her Spiritual Sense, quickly reviewing all batches of Spirit Gathering Grass. She nodded in recognition, and then said, "A total of three thousand eight hundred and ninety plants of Spirit Gathering Grass, the price remains the same as last time, one and a half Lower-Grade Spirit Stones per plant.
That equals five thousand eight hundred and thirty-five Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.
How does that sound?"
Shen Xinyue quickly calculated the price and said.
"No problem at all.
Thank you very much!"
Zhou Changwang cupped his hands and said, smiling.
"Just mutual needs.
I could already tell your Spirit Plant technique was extraordinary, but didn’t expect your Spirit Plant method is even stronger than I previously imagined.
Nearly three thousand nine hundred plants of Spirit Gathering Grass are not something anyone can cultivate in just a few short months."
As Shen Xinyue spoke, she directly took out a pink Jade Pendant, then recited slightly.
Communication Jade Scroll?
Zhou Changwang was stunned.
He also knew of this artifact.
It’s a Magical Artifact for short-range communication, but it only allows one-way mutual communication, with a short range, usable within a thousand meters, but beyond that distance, it practically becomes useless.
Nonetheless, even so, this Magical Artifact is not cheaply priced, marked at five hundred Lower-Grade Spirit Stones in the marketplace, often with endless demand but little supply.
Of course, ultra-long-distance communication Magical Artifacts also exist.
Such as the Mother-Child Communication Jade Scroll, supposedly allows communication over hundred miles, and the Communication Treasure Mirror, which can even transmit over a thousand miles.
But these are highly expensive, far beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Soon after, the steward from Shuiyun Pavilion came over.
With a wave of the hand, the steward placed stacks of Spirit Stones on the ground.
These Spirit Stones totaled six piles, five of which were neatly arranged with a thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones each, and the last pile contained precisely eight hundred and thirty-five Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.
After arranging these Spirit Stones nicely, she said, "Here are five thousand eight hundred and thirty-five Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, please accept!"
Zhou Changwang nodded repeatedly, needing no further verification.
With his eye power, he could easily perceive these Spirit Stones were exactly as promised, he promptly collected all the Spirit Stones into his Storage Bag.
With these Spirit Stones, plus the ten thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones he originally had.
He now had enough for the Fifteen Thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones required for the Cultivation Technique.
Inside, he was quite pleased.
Afterward, Zhou Changwang didn’t linger long in Shuiyun Pavilion, after reminding Shen Xinyue not to forget tomorrow’s appointment, he strode out.
Instead of returning directly to his courtyard, he took advantage of this rare free time to wander around the marketplace.
Occasionally overhearing bits of news, he gained new insights into the current environment in the marketplace.
Besides, he also sold a small batch of Spirit Talismans.
Due to the previous warnings about abnormal Spirit Talisman output, he only sold thirty to forty this time, earning over a thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.
