Chapter 155 Danfu Pavilion's business, selling puppets
So, after Su Bai returned to Xingluo Market, she immediately went to find Xu Changge to inquire about this matter. She had a hunch that she might be affected by it.
In Xu Changge's study, Ancestor Xu looked at Su Bai with a surprised expression, her arms crossed.
"Yes, that's right, there is such a thing."
"The Southwest Sea has never had any major forces entering it; it's an unknown, mysterious Treasure Trove."
"According to legends, there were once many immortal mountain Schools on the sea."
"But no Cultivators have ever explored it. The establishment of Xingluo Market this time is to build a bridgehead by the sea, preparing for future exploration of the ocean."
Xu Changge briefly told Su Bai about the future plans of the Six Upper Sects and what was going on with the Loose Cultivators she had just encountered.
"Because no Cultivators have come here for many years, we don't really understand the situation in the sea."
"Of course, as more Loose Cultivators explore on their own, we have generally figured out where some sea Yao Beasts are located."
"Firstly, there are no sea Yao Beasts in the nearshore area, at most there are Spirit Fish that contain a trace of spiritual Qi in their bodies but don't even count as First-Tier Yao Beasts."
"It's not until our Xingluo Archipelago that First-Tier Low Grade sea Yao Beasts begin to appear, but they are still rare."
"Flying ten thousand miles further into the deep sea, sea Yao Beasts slowly become more numerous, but they still haven't formed ethnic group."
The Loose Cultivators Su Bai encountered earlier were attacked because they flew too far, and the aftermath of their battle attracted curious sea Yao Beasts, resulting in them being surrounded.
At sea, there is no solid ground to stand on, so one can only fly.
Cultivators at the Qi Refinement Stage need to control their flying boat while fighting the sea Yao Beasts below.
Once their spiritual Qi is depleted, only failure awaits them.
After hearing Xu Changge's words, Su Bai considered the possibility of finding a reef or island to rest on in the vast ocean.
It was a small possibility.
Therefore, the Loose Cultivators who went out basically traveled in groups.
"So, there's no danger nearby, right?" Su Bai asked again, not entirely sure.
Seeing Su Bai's puzzled expression, Xu Changge chuckled.
Even though her sister had already reached Foundation Establishment, her caution hadn't changed.
So, she gently placed her hands on Su Bai's shoulders, a fragrant scent wafting onto Su Bai's face.
"An unexplored sea is equivalent to a Secret Realm full of Opportunity, attracting countless Loose Cultivators."
"Heavenly Fortune City, backed by the Demon Beast Mountain Range, rose rapidly in just a hundred years."
"This Xingluo Market, occupying the seaside, can do the same."
"Don't worry so much."
Hearing Xu Changge's comfort, Su Bai thought that it was indeed the case.
Moreover, the more Loose Cultivators who went to explore, the more various treasures from the sea they would bring back.
And when they went out to explore, Medicinal Pills and Talismans were absolutely indispensable.
She could also make a fortune!
After getting confirmation from Xu Changge, Su Bai returned to her Danfu Pavilion with peace of mind.
Lu Hong was not there at the moment, and she needed to quickly refine the Night Sparrow Gang's Medicinal Pills.
She feared that Yan Lei would ask her for more Medicinal Pills soon.
As Su Bai expected, two days later, Yan Lei came in person.
"Shopkeeper Su, my Medicinal Pill shop is running out of stock recently."
After Yan Lei washed his hands of his past, the ferocity in his eyes had completely disappeared, and he even had a dimple when he smiled.
He stood there at the counter, chatting with Su Bai, as if he truly was just a harmless Loose Cultivator.
One could only say that his early experiences as a robber cultivators made Yan Lei extremely good at disguising himself.
If anyone truly believed Yan Lei's current demeanor, they would likely be eaten whole.
Su Bai gently put down the teacup in her hand. She still hadn't given up on her tea leaves.
"What, Fellow Daoist Yan's Alchemist is so useless now that he can't even supply Medicinal Pills to the Outer City Loose Cultivators?"
As she spoke, Su Bai rose from the soft cushion, which rebounded slightly, indicating its good quality.
Then she walked towards the backyard.
Yan Lei followed.
After they arrived in the backyard, Su Bai finally asked, "Speak, what Medicinal Pills are you short on?"
Yan Lei pulled out a list from his Storage Pouch and handed it to Su Bai.
"Everything is short."
"More and more Loose Cultivators have been entering the market recently."
"And they seem to have started exploring the sea; every time they return, they have great harvests."
"Not only rare sea Yao Beast cubs, but also various Spirit Medicines that grow on the seabed."
"It makes this old man's eyes burn with desire!" Yan Lei exclaimed.
If he didn't have a legitimate business and the Night Sparrow Gang to manage, he probably would have gone too.
Of course, now he no longer needed to take risks.
His Night Sparrow Gang's strength was not to be underestimated at this time.
He could get a share of the treasures brought back from the sea.
As for the lion's share, it naturally went to the behemoths in the Inner City, such as the Six Major Sects and Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
However, Yan Lei was satisfied.
After all, he could eat his fill and wouldn't starve.
Su Bai looked at the list in her hand.
"Great Strength Pill, Vitality Pill, Gathering Spirit Powder, Qi Refining Pill..."
All were First-Tier Medicinal Pills.
In addition to Medicinal Pills, there were also Talismans.
"Divine Speed Talisman, Fireball Talisman, Wood Vine Talisman, Spring Breeze Gentle Rain Talisman..."
Although they were all First-Tier Talismans.
"Yan Lei, Medicinal Pills and other businesses are enough to make you rich. There's no need to get Talismans from me, right? Are you trying to suppress someone's business lately?"
Yan Lei saw Su Bai's expression and knew she misunderstood. He quickly waved his hands.
"Heh heh, how could that be? Old Yan is a good person now."
"It's just that a friend recently asked me for help."
"His Talisman Master's output is limited, but there are too many Loose Cultivators, so he wanted to find a connection through me."
"See, don't I just happen to know Shopkeeper Su!" Yan Lei rubbed his hands, looking innocent.
Su Bai shook her head, pretending to believe him.
"Alright, I'll prepare the Medicinal Pills and Talismans."
Just as Su Bai was about to begin Alchemy, she suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, now that Loose Cultivators are going out to explore Opportunities, their spiritual Qi is limited, and so is their strength."
"So, wouldn't they greatly need a combat Puppet that is driven by Spirit Stones and only requires a partial focus of their mind to control?"
"Yan Lei, can you help me sell some combat Puppets? They are all High Grade First-Tier."
Su Bai turned and asked Yan Lei.
"Oh! Shopkeeper Su can refine Puppets?"
"Heh heh, as long as the Materials are sufficient, you can have as many as you want."
These Puppets would definitely add a significant combat force to Qi Refinement Cultivators.
If used well, they could be just like Spirit Beasts.
Yan Lei had heard that there were also a few Puppet Masters in the Outer City, but their craftsmanship was not good.
Most of the Puppets they refined were Medium Grade First-Tier.
Even so, their threshold was almost trampled flat.
Su Bai said she could refine High Grade First-Tier Puppets.
Loose Cultivators who wanted powerful combat strength would definitely come to her!
"No problem! There's nothing else Yan is good at, but I have many connections. As long as you give me the Puppets, just wait to collect Spirit Stones!"
