Chapter 107 Black Wind Market (34)
"I have several dozen kilograms of these here, which were left over from hunting with a few fellow Taoists in the Black Wind Mountains before the invasion of the Demonic Path."
Zhenren Jin Guang took out a storage bag and handed it to Chen An impatiently. When he saw the Golden Crow Grass, his saliva almost drooled and he was about to rush over to snatch it.
Chen An shook his head and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Jin Guang, if you want to exchange a few dozen kilograms of monster meat for a piece of Golden Crow Grass, I'm afraid it's far from enough."
"Oh, I was in a hurry and got a little confused."
Jin Guang Zhenren's expression froze, and he smiled awkwardly, saying, "But I only have a few dozen kilograms of monster meat. Recently, due to the affairs of the Demonic Path, no one has the time to go to the Black Wind Mountains to hunt monsters. How about I use spirit stones to make up for it?"
"Spiritual stones? No."
Chen An did not care about these minor problems. Seeing that Jin Guang Zhenren's magical power was extremely strong and masculine, he guessed that the Golden Crow Grass would be of great use to him, so it was understandable that he was in a hurry at the moment.
But when he heard that the other party wanted to make up for it with spirit stones, Chen An shook his head again. What he lacked the least was spirit stones. He had accumulated quite a lot of them over the years, not to mention that the Chen family's industries also made a lot of money.
Seeing the other party's eyes dim, Chen An said: "If you have third-level spiritual water, lightning spiritual objects or the like, you can also make up the number."
Jin Guang Zhenren's eyes sparkled, and he said happily: "I don't have any thunder-type spiritual objects, but I have about five kilograms of third-level spiritual water."
"So good!"
Without saying a word, Chen An gave the other party three stalks of Golden Crow grass and obtained five kilograms of third-level spiritual water.
Even Jin Guang Zhenren waved his hand and said generously: "I won't charge you any spirit stones for these dozens of kilograms of monster meat. Just consider it as a gift to Fellow Daoist Chen."
Exchanging three thirty-year-old spiritual herbs for five kilograms of third-grade spiritual water was actually a slight bargain for Chen An.
Hearing what the other party said, Chen An smiled and bowed, "Thank you, fellow Daoist Jin Guang. Next time, if you have spiritual water, monster flesh, or thunder treasures, remember to come to me to exchange for Golden Crow Grass. I will give you a discount."
"This is for sure!"
After the transaction was completed, the two men chatted freely like old friends.
Qingshan Zhenren looked anxious and waited for a long time. When he saw a gap, he immediately stepped forward and interrupted, "Fellow Daoist Chen, do you still have the Yuanshuilu from last time?"
"Daoyou Qingshan, do you also have the three items I just mentioned?" Chen An asked with interest.
"No. But I have a way to get the monster meat and exchange it with you for Yuanshui Lu. Daoist friend, you must keep it for me!"
After tasting the sweetness last time, Master Qingshan couldn't forget Yuan Shuilu. It's not that the thing is so rare, but the battle between good and evil has led to the scarcity of third-level spiritual objects. Perhaps Chen An has been in seclusion for many years, and he doesn't know how precious the Jindan-level spiritual objects are out there. He is still willing to exchange, and he can't help but be tempted.
Not long after, the two left satisfied.
Chen An looked at the other person's departing figure, smiled lightly, and suddenly turned around and came to the Beishan Spiritual Field.
After glancing at the third-level spiritual plants, he walked to the edge of the pool, looked at the heavy water lotus that had just revealed its pointed corners, and immediately took out the third-level spiritual water and two Golden Crow grasses.
One extra plant of the thirty-year-old Golden Crow Grass can be harvested. Taking advantage of this, after several years of cultivation, he now has quite a few Golden Crow Grasses.
Not only that, even the Changhong Sword Qi and the Golden Crow Transformation Technique had reached the level of five feet and four rainbow lights respectively.
Chen An activated the Soul-Snatching Technique and poured the third-level spiritual water onto one of the heavy water lotuses.
I saw that heavy water lily, as if time had accelerated countless times, slowly stretching out its lotus leaves and growing lotus buds.
After a long time, a sixty-year-old heavy water lotus was born.
A small ball of water dew also condensed on the lotus leaf, shining with a crystal luster, with about thirty drops in total.
Chen An's mind moved, he waved his hand to take it and put it into the jade bottle.
"Probably enough for me to practice for less than a year."
It takes ten days to refine one drop of Yuanshuilu, and thirty drops are only enough for him to sustain for three hundred days.
However, Chen An was not worried. With the transaction conditions he had promised before, he was sure that Master Qingshan and the other two would do their best to help him collect the necessary resources.
This is why he is willing to exchange at parity.
Even though Chen An didn't know the true price of the Jindan-level spiritual objects outside, he could still guess a thing from the spiritual stones that came in and out of the Chen family.
Afterwards, he buried the dozens of kilograms of monster flesh and blood he had exchanged under the seeds of the Fantasy Demon Grass, and Chen An didn't care about it anymore.
A few dozen kilograms of force won't have much effect, but it's better than nothing.
Three months later, Chen An refined nine drops of Yuanshui Dew.
At this time, Chen Qing came to visit, looking very happy.
"Chen Duoduo gave birth again?" Chen An asked curiously.
Over the years, Chen Qing has visited many Qi training families in Qingyun Domain and found many concubines for Chen Duoduo.
In Chen Duoduo's lineage alone, there are already thirty to fifty children, among whom there are nearly twenty people with spiritual roots!
"That's not the case."
Chen Qing waved his hand and said, "I plan to build a market town in the south of Yunwu Mountain. We are adjacent to Black Wind Mountain in the south and Yunwu Mountain Range in the west. There are quite a few cultivators coming and going, so it is a perfect place to build a market town."
"With our current resources, we are almost capable of building this, but I wonder what your opinion is?"
Chen An touched his chin and kept looking at Chen Qing in front of him. Why didn't he realize before that the other party had such great ambitions.
Building a market in Qingyun Domain, isn't this just competing with Qingyun Sect's Qingyun Market for people? However, with his current strength, he is not afraid of Qingyun Sect.
"Okay, but the scale shouldn't be too large. After all, Qingyun Sect is still useful to me, and it's not advisable to get too stiff with them." Chen An nodded and passed the resolution.
Seeing that Chen An did not refuse, Chen Qing was more certain that Chen An's strength was far superior to that of Qingshan Zhenren. He clapped his hands and praised, "Okay, the scale is too large and we don't have the financial resources. Don't worry, even if you don't have the reputation of a Jindan cultivator, the flow of people in the Black Wind Market will not decrease just by relying on the cultivators traveling between Black Wind Mountain and the Black Wind Mountain Range, and this investment will not lose money!"
Black Wind Market?
Well, even the name is chosen!
Chen An smiled and said, "Okay, you can handle this matter on your own. You don't need to call me on the day of opening after it is built. Just discuss everything among you guys."
He felt that it was necessary to establish a market town, not only because of the profits, but more importantly, it would make it more convenient to collect spirit seeds and other spiritual objects needed.
After all, the cultivators who go in and out of Black Wind Mountain and the Black Wind Mountain Range can come to the Black Wind Market to sell their harvest after they come out. With his proximity to the water, his collection efficiency must be faster than before.
"Okay, three years, no, I'm sure I can finish it within a year." Chen Qing said, patting his chest.
It is not a big deal to complete this task within a year. After these years of development, the number of cultivators in the Chen family has reached three hundred, and the mortal town has a population of more than 100,000. It will not take much time just to build the streets and houses.
It mainly involves the arrangement of formations in various places in the market town, and the handling of spiritual vein issues. Also, due to the raging wars, spiritual objects are scarce, and collecting them is even more troublesome, so completing it in one year is already very fast.
After getting Chen An's consent, Chen Qing left happily with brisk steps.
Chen An did not take this matter too seriously. He swallowed a drop of Yuanshui Lu and continued to practice hard.
A year goes by in a blink of an eye.
That day, Chen An suddenly discovered that there were suddenly fewer tribesmen on Yunwu Mountain.
He was wondering what had happened, and then he remembered that Chen Qing had established the market a year ago.
Chen An came out of the cave and wandered around Yunwu Mountain before he realized that Chen Qing had already moved most of the Chen family members away.
The spiritual plant masters of the clan were sent to Yunwu Valley, to be managed by Chen Youliang and Chen Maoxin.
Another part of the tribesmen moved to the Black Wind Market, taking charge of the operation and management of the market. There were less than a hundred tribesmen left in the mountains.
These were things that had been anticipated long ago. Chen An glanced from afar at a rising market town in the south and ignored it.
He turned back to the spiritual field and came to the pool.
A year later, a drop of Yuanshui dew condensed on the leaf of the mature heavy water lotus.
Chen An put it away, looked up at the sky and sighed: "It's been a year, why haven't those two made any progress yet?"
"No, we can't rely on them completely. The market town has been built, so let Chen Qing and others contribute."
Immediately, Chen An called Chen Wen who was practicing in the attic.
"Go to the market and tell Chen Qing to help me collect some spiritual objects."
Inform Chen Wen of the spiritual objects needed and ask him to inform Chen Qing. Although it is unlikely that a third-level spiritual object will appear in this small market, even if he just gets the news, he can send someone to look for it.
"It's something with thunder attributes. If there is no news for a long time, I can only wait until I reach the middle stage of the Golden Core, and then I can get the thunder from the sky myself!" Chen An thought.
Even if it is an ordinary heavenly thunder, its power is quite great, comparable to the means of an ordinary mid-stage Jindan cultivator. Chen An is confident that his strength far exceeds that of his peers, so he can take it by force now.
But to be on the safe side, he would rather wait until the middle stage of Jindan to do it.
Chen An strolled around the spiritual field and was thinking when he suddenly saw a figure flying from a distance.
Isn’t it Chen Wen who just returned?
"You're back so soon. Have you told Chen Qing?" Chen An asked casually.
"I have already given the order."
Chen Wen nodded, then took out a wooden barrel and said, "In the past two years, Chen Qing has been preparing for the market, and collected several kilograms of third-level spiritual water from other places. I was planning to deliver it to you in person after I was done with this. When I saw me, I asked him to pass it on to you."
Taking the barrel, Chen An grinned happily: "Good, not bad, it seems that building a market town will be of great benefit to my Chen family."
Chen Qing is quite capable. He had already started helping him collect third-level spiritual objects before he was told to do so.
Chen An was in a good mood and immediately gave Chen Wen a few bottles of second-level pills and asked him to go and practice.
He returned to the pool again with great interest.
With ease and ease, it didn't take him much time to ripen the sixty-year-old heavy water lotus to the ninetieth year.
Moreover, there is still one kilogram of spiritual water left.
As the heavy water lotus grew older, thirty drops of Yuanshui dew condensed on the lotus leaves in one breath. Chen An naturally accepted them.
But he faced a problem: should he harvest the heavy water lotus or let it grow and condense a drop of Yuanshui dew every year.
Chen An thought for a moment and felt that just one plant would not be of much help to him, so he simply harvested it.
