Chapter 96: I’m Not Willing (1)
Translator: Daoist6fubtiW
Night fell.
In the West Street branch, Chen Xianhe and his nephew were chatting at the tea table.
“Thirteenth Uncle, why did you hire Fellow Daoist Wei to work as a clerk in my Rainbow Sonar Flying Sword Shop?”
Today, the black-robed rogue cultivator he saw in the branch was none other than Wei Sihai, the rogue cultivator that Chen Daoxuan met on his first visit to the rogue cultivator market.
Hearing this.
Chen Xianhe smiled helplessly and said,” I have no choice. The business of the West Street branch is even better than that of the East Street branch.”
I’m really busy, so I asked Fellow Daoist Wei to come and help.
Fellow Daoist Wei is very experienced in selling goods. After he came, I felt much more relaxed. This annual salary of 200 spirit stones is worth it.”
Chen Daoxuan nodded.
“Oh right, these are the flying swords and spirit stones I brought from the clan this time.”
As he spoke, Chen Daoxuan touched his waist.
Looking at the storage pouches hanging around Chen Daoxuan’s waist, Chen Xianhe couldn’t help but frown. “”You’ve brought too many bags of holding with you. Walking outside like this is really attracting attention.”
Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan sighed and said, “”There’s no other way. The storage space of a low-grade storage bag is limited.
The 100,000 spirit stones I brought from the clan treasury alone would take up an entire bag of holding, not to mention the flying swords that take up even more space.”
” I’ll find a chance to buy a high-grade storage bag.”
After thinking for a while, Chen Daoxuan shook his head.’Although the storage space of a high-grade storage bag is much larger than a low-grade storage bag, it’s not as cost-effective as using a low-grade storage bag.”
Chen Xianhe knew that Chen Daoxuan was telling the truth and didn’t try to persuade him anymore.
Although it was a little comical to have a bunch of storage bags on their waists, it was almost the same for all the disciples of the clan when transporting important resources.
Items like flying swords, spirit stones, and spirit pills were usually transported in storage bags.
Only those resources that were particularly large in quantity, such as spiritual rice, spiritual ores, and food for ordinary people, would be transported by cargo ships.
” 100,000 spirit stones, plus the half a year’s payment from the Rainbow Sonar Flying Sword shop, we can take out a total of about 310,000 spirit stones this time.”
” 310,000 Spiritual Stones!”
Seeing the three storage bags filled with spirit stones on the table, Chen Daoxuan couldn’t help but feel a surge of emotions.
Although the total amount of goods in the Chen family’s treasury was far more than 310,000 spirit stones, most of the treasures in their treasury were all kinds of spirit ores and water spirit pearls.
Although spirit ores and water spirit pearls were hard currency, they could not be used to purchase materials like spirit stones.
After all, in the cultivation world, spirit stones were the currency.
Other precious treasures could not be used to buy materials unless they had agreed to barter with the other party in advance.
The spirit ores in the Chen family’s treasury were still manageable. Whether they were sold directly or refined into flying swords, there were always ways to cash them out.
However, it was very difficult to sell Water Spirit Pearls.
He could only leave it for the Chen Clan cultivators to use.
“With so many spirit stones, I believe this trip will definitely be able to buy a lot of useful resources for our Chen family and increase our family’s foundation.”
Chen Xianhe said excitedly.
Unexpectedly, when Chen Daoxuan heard this, his eyes could not help but dodge.
However, the excited Chen Xianhe did not notice this detail at all.
Chen Daoxuan pretended to flip through the brochure of the various treasures in this auction while pretending to be casuaL’Thirteenth Uncle, let me participate in this auction alone. The magic tool shop is too busy, so I need you to take care of it.”
“Hmm?”
Hearing this, Chen Xianhe came back to his senses and stared at Chen Daoxuan. “”It’s okay. Fellow Daoist Wei will take care of the branch business. There’s Dao Chuan on the east street. There won’t be any problems.”
Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan put down the brochure and said, “”I’m still worried about Fellow Daoist Wei. After all, he’s not my Chen family…”
“Dao Profound!”
Before Chen Daoxuan could finish, Chen Xianhe said, “”You’ve been cultivating with me since you were five years old. For so many years, although we’re uncle and nephew, we’re actually father and son.
I can see through everything you do and think. You can’t hide it from me.”
Chen Xianhe shook his head and stared at him.”Tell me, do you want to buy that thousand-year red fruit?”
Hearing this question, Chen Daoxuan’s fingers could not help but tremble.
He raised his head and forced a smile.” Thirteenth Uncle, you worry too much. How could I…”
“You will! You definitely will!”
Chen Xianhe stared at him and continued,” Although you usually appear cold and strict in front of your clansmen, you are actually a person who values relationships and loyalty. So, you will definitely do this!”
Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan fell silent.
After a long time.
He looked up at Chen Xianhe.” Thirteenth Uncle, the thousand-year red fruit has the effect of extending your life by thirty years. Perhaps I can find a way to build your foundation for you in the future…”
Daoxuan, you’re muddle-headed!”
Chen Xianhe sighed and said,” Let’s not talk about whether you can help me find the method to build my foundation in the future. How can the thousand-year-old Vermilion Fruit be so easy to get?
Even if you can get it, do you know how many Foundation Establishment, Zifu Disciples, and even Golden Core cultivators are secretly coveting this life-prolonging treasure?”
“A mere 30-year lifespan extension treasure, how could it…”
“Thirty years?”
Chen Xianhe shook his head,” Let me ask you, Old Ancestor Yang has reached the Zifu Disciple realm after reaching two hundred years of age. If he is only ten years away from breaking through, what does this life-prolonging treasure mean to him?”
Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan instantly understood.
It seemed that the thousand-year red fruit only had the effect of extending one’s lifespan by 30 years, but in fact, it could give a cultivator who was nearing the end of his life and was only one step away from breaking through again.
This value was not something that a mere 30 years of life extension could compare to.
Understanding this, Chen Daoxuan knew that his plan to buy the thousand-year-old Vermilion Fruit was probably going to die in the womb.
Even if the Chen family had some money now, they definitely couldn’t compete with high-level cultivators.
This was especially true for those high-grade cultivators who were nearing the end of their lifespans.
Even if the Chen family won, they would definitely be robbed by high-level cultivators who were nearing the end of their lives.
For the cultivators who were nearing the end of their lives, they would not be afraid even if the emperor came, let alone the intimidation of the Qian Yuan Sword Sect.
Because if they didn’t give it their all, what awaited them was death.
This kind of cultivator was even crazier than the Mo family.
Seeing Chen Daoxuan in low spirits.
Chen Xianhe muttered to himself,” Cultivators like us pursue the Great Dao, but we are not greedy for life, nor are we afraid of death. If the safety of the clan is the stake, I am not willing to live just for one night.”
As he spoke, he looked at Chen Daoxuan with a gentle gaze and comforted him,” Live when you live, die when you die. Dao Xuan, there’s no need to be sad.”
At this point.
Chen Xianhe’s thoughts seemed to travel back to the battlefield of Zhennan Pass fifty years ago.
The previous clan leader, Chen Xianzhou, said these lofty words in the face of the cultivators from the Yun Nation who surged over like a tsunami.
“Live when you live, die when you die!”
