Chapter 160 The Risks of Selling Spirit Rice! The Promise of the 8th Elder!
"Brother Wei, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for so long!"
The person who entered from outside was Chen Fan.
Old Li, with a smile on his face, hurriedly stepped forward to greet them!
"I haven't even stepped inside yet, and you've already spotted me?" Chen Fan asked, somewhat surprised.
It's worth noting that he even made sure to dress up before going out this time.
They made almost every kind of thing imaginable: floral perfumes, floral mud cakes, and more.
The purpose was to conceal their presence when going out and avoid being discovered.
However, Chen Fan always managed to fool the vast majority of people, but he could never fool Old Li of Baicaotang.
"Professional habit..." Old Li from Baicaotang said with a smile:
"Once I've seen this nose before, I won't forget it a second time!"
Chen Fan smiled but didn't say anything.
Feeling somewhat embarrassed, he suddenly remembered a type of farting rat demon he had read about in a book.
The book says that after these rat demons become spirits, they disguise themselves as human beings and swindle people on the streets.
However, before it even gets close to anyone, people can smell its stench!
Therefore, the rat demon failed repeatedly and finally decided to stop lying to people altogether!
Chen Fan felt that this was his current situation.
Having been a eunuch for over sixty years, the stench emanating from him permeated his very bones!
He felt it would take some more time to get rid of it quickly.
Moreover, since he began cultivating, the smell on Chen Fan's body has been gradually fading.
Once he becomes powerful enough, he'll probably lose his edge!
Chen Fan could only console himself with this thought, and he sighed.
He followed Old Li into the house.
"Have some tea," Old Li said, bringing over the tea.
"Brother Wei, it's been a few days... you look much better!"
"Not bad..." Chen Fan replied with a smile.
"Let's cut to the chase. These are the radishes and sweet potatoes I'm selling. They'll cost 30,000 in total..."
"Only 30,000?" Old Li took the storage bag and checked it.
"Brother Wei, is this due to reduced production? Or...?"
The fruit isn't ripe yet.
Chen Fan brought only some newly harvested spirit rice with him to Luoyang Market this time.
As for the radishes and sweet potatoes, they were seeds left over from before.
He brought it here so he could sell more spirit stones!
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask," Chen Fan said, squinting.
"Just take it, I have some new stuff here..."
"I see..." Old Li was taken aback, then quickly settled the accounts!
"Sweet potatoes and radishes each cost four low-grade spirit stones, making a total of thirty high-grade spirit stones. I'll go get the spirit stones for you right away!"
"Wait..." Chen Fan took out the storage bag containing spirit stones and said:
"Look at this...can we accept it...?"
"This is... Spirit Rice!" Old Li was stunned when he opened the storage bag!
You should know that spirit rice is quite valuable!
Only those forces that possess spiritual springs or spiritual veins can cultivate this plant.
Even the spirit rice shops in Luoyang's market area have intricate connections with Longshan City!
"I can't accept this... I have a pretty large quantity..." Chen Fan said, seeing that Old Li was somewhat shocked.
"To be honest... logically speaking... I shouldn't have accepted your spirit rice..." Old Li said, coming back to his senses.
"Brother Wei, do you know why?"
"The spirit rice shop next door?" Chen Fan asked tentatively.
Old Li nodded and then explained the ins and outs.
After listening for a while, Chen Fan roughly understood some of it.
According to Lao Li.
There is only one Lingmi shop in this Luoyang market.
Anyone who wants to buy or sell Lingmi can only do so at this store!
That's the rule!
The reason behind it is quite simple: this Lingmi store is from Longshan City!
Any smart person would not go against this store!
"Brother Wei, if it were someone else," Old Li said with a smile:
"I might not accept it, but it's different for you. How about I accept some of the spirit rice first?"
"Is Baicaotang not afraid of Longshan City?" Chen Fan said with a slight smile!
"Well... I can't say!" Old Li laughed heartily.
"In short, you are a guest of Baicaotang, and your needs are what we should fulfill, regardless of any other forces!"
Chen Fan nodded.
This wasn't the first time he'd heard of Longshan City.
I heard that a Nascent Soul cultivator is in charge of that place!
Even the eight major sects rarely provoke this place.
Who knew that Baicaotang wouldn't be afraid of Longshan City? It seems that the power behind it is extraordinary!
After a moment of deep thought, Chen Fan nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll come back to Luoyang Market in three days. If you still won't accept it, I'll take it to the Spirit Rice Shop!"
"Deal..." Old Li nodded slightly.
Then, Chen Fan took out some spirit rice.
Since the quantity was too small, he didn't accept the spirit stones, but instead exchanged some demon beast inner cores before leaving.
After the people left, Baicaotang returned to its quiet state.
After watching the person walk away, Old Li hurriedly ran back to the inner room.
Without any haste, he placed a spirit stone next to the bronze mirror.
As the spirit stone absorbed spiritual energy, a familiar figure appeared in the mirror!
"Li Fugui, you'd better have something to say to me..."
In the mirror, the Eighteenth Elder's tone was somewhat unfriendly!
"Elder, the people have arrived..." Old Li smiled and then recounted what had just happened!
"Spirit Rice?" The Eighteenth Elder was taken aback, then exclaimed excitedly:
"Bring it here quickly, I'll try it and see!"
Old Li didn't waste any words.
He quickly placed some of the collected spirit rice in front of the mirror.
The spirit rice slowly floated into the air and then disappeared!
And the reflection in the mirror has also disappeared!
Seeing this, Old Li wasn't in a hurry; he just waited quietly.
Until three breaths had passed.
The figures of the eighteen elders reappeared!
"I want it! As much as you can! Li Fugui! And radishes, sweet potatoes, I want it all!"
Li Fugui smiled and nodded.
Looking at the excited eighteenth elder before him, he reminded him:
"Elder, what should we do about Dragon Mountain City... Spirit rice is a business they monopolize... What if they find out..."
"Dragon Mountain City is nothing!" the Eighteenth Elder exclaimed excitedly.
"If they're not happy, then you can yell at them back! Let them come find me!"
"Yes!" Old Li respectfully clasped his hands in greeting.
"I understand. That guest is also worried about this, so..."
"Li Fugui, you only need to remember one thing!" The Eighteenth Elder took a deep breath and said:
"You are to accept whatever that person brings, and if you're unsure about anything, just ask me, understand?"
"Understood..." Old Li nodded slightly.
……
After leaving Baicaotang.
Chen Fan strolled around the market again.
Having earned another thirty high-grade spirit stones, he originally planned to go to the spirit rice shop to check the prices.
Just as he approached the auction, he was stopped by a familiar figure!
"Senior Wei... do you remember me? I'm Zhao Ji!"
Wearing a tight-fitting long dress, Zhao Ji smiled broadly, her full breasts and shapely buttocks giving her an alluring and captivating appearance!
Especially her every smile and frown seemed to have added a lot more charm than before!
Although her appearance was not outstanding compared to the other maids!
But it was precisely this stunning figure that made Zhao Ji stand out!
"I remember..." Chen Fan smiled, his eyes narrowed.
"You were so flirtatious... I still remember you!"
