Chapter 173: The Goddess of Non-Mainstream Life
Feng Changying took Mu Lixiang to walk on the streets of the Shadow Flow District, because she had to hinder her identity as a young lady, she wore a veil on her face, so even if she walked directly like this, no one recognized her.
"Recently, there have been no problems at the Jishi Medical Center, Xiaodong is very capable, I went to see it yesterday, and everything is well managed." Mu Lixiang followed behind Feng Changying, slowly reporting all kinds of news, "The guards outside the Linxun Palace's mansion have indeed been strengthened, and Xiao You didn't go in to take a look. As for Miss, you said that you want to do some small business after the beginning of spring, Xinghe has already paid attention to it, but this shadow flow area is more mixed with dragons and snakes, so Xinghe is not optimistic. ”
"When it comes to doing business, I don't think he's the right fit." Feng Changying walked into a shop that sold jade, and while looking at the various jade ornaments placed on the display shelves, he spoke, "He doesn't seem to be in good spirits recently, so you should go for a trip in person after the beginning of spring." I think...... Do the business of spirit stones. ”
"Okay......" As soon as Mu Lixiang responded, she saw Feng Changying take it down from the display shelf and look at the statue of a woman, she was taken aback when she saw it, "This is ...... A statue of the goddess of life? But why is the carving of this dress so strange? ”
Feng Changying also smiled and looked at the jade carving in his hand, which is definitely non-mainstream at the moment, the gentle and holy face of the goddess of life, with the open-chested and backless Qinglou women's clothes, it is really a must!
"If this jade statue is seen by the people of the Holy Mercy District, won't it be a ruckus? But here it is so openly put on sale...... Look at it......" Feng Changying paused, and then beckoned to the shopkeeper on the side, "I want to buy this, wrap it up for me!" ”
yes, she wants to buy something like this when she sees it!
The shopkeeper greeted him with a smile, and his face changed when he saw the non-mainstream statue of the goddess of life in Feng Changying's hand, he wanted to take the statue from Feng Changying's hand, but he saw Feng Changying dressed luxuriously, with a veil on his face, and a maid behind him, obviously a young lady from a big family, he was a little er, and he must not offend such a character!
"This guest officer, this ...... This...... This statue is not for sale......" the shopkeeper said with some hesitation.
"You've put it all out, and you actually said it's not going to sell?" Mu Lixiang raised her eyebrows, and suddenly said unhappily, "Are you a big bully?" ”
"Don't dare! Can't! The shopkeeper hurriedly smiled and said, "That's definitely not what the little one means!" This jade carving was made by the first master of the store two days ago, but the master said that he would never take it out and sell it, but the person in charge of the display shelf to place and replenish the stock was a newcomer, so he took out the jade carving by mistake...... This...... This is definitely not deliberate, and I ask the guest to forgive my sins! ”
Feng Changying felt that such a thing was definitely not something that could be taken out and sold casually, even if the Shadow Flow District did not belong to the jurisdiction of the Goddess of Life Church, but to put such a thing out and sell it openly, presumably this jade shop did not have the courage to do so, but ......
"Please also ask the master to see if he is willing to cut love, I appreciate this jade carving very much, so if you want to buy it, the price is not a problem." Feng Changying knew that this jade was not the best jade, at most it was a good relationship, but this statue of the non-mainstream goddess of life was very useful to her, and she finally found such a suitable gift!
"This ......" The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to refuse, so he could only turn around and pass the word.
"Miss, it doesn't seem like it's good to buy something like this...... okay" Mu Lixiang is not human, but she doesn't look down on this open-chested and backless statue of the goddess of life at all!
After a while, the shopkeeper led an old man in a black robe over.
The old man's beard was white, but both his hair and long beard were a mess, and he still rolled up his long sleeves in the winter, revealing his arms, and showing that his old body was still strong.
"Master, this is the guest officer who wants to buy the jade statue." After the shopkeeper brought the old man over, he bowed and left after a brief introduction.
The old man's height is not high, it is about the same height as Feng Changying, a twelve-year-old child, he raised his head slightly, and a pair of bright eyes appeared under the eyebrows that looked like white caterpillars: "Yo, such a little girl wants to buy my carving from the old man?" Do you understand this engraving? ”
Feng Changying originally thought that the person who carved such a statue must be a little obscene, but the old man in front of him was not only old and strong, but also had an indescribable temperament...... If you have to use two words to describe him, it is probably ...... "justice"!
"It is always said that the sages do not depend on clothing, so if it is really a god who has mercy on the world, even if he does not wear clothes, he is still holy, and it is not like this. The master is using this to satirize the well-dressed beasts in the Holy Mercy District. Feng Changying lowered his voice a little when he spoke, but his words were still clear.
"The little girl is very good, you can see it." The old man pinched his beard, but because the beard was really messy, he pinched it as if he was pinching the cotton that had not yet been sorted, "Old man, I deliberately let people release this jade statue, but it has been almost three days, but only you, girl, have seen the essence of it." This jade statue charges a cost price, and sells it to you for five taels of silver. ”
"Five taels of silver?" Feng Changying glanced at the jade statue in his hand a few times, and looked at the fineness of more than five taels of silver, "The master has really recovered the cost?" This jade looks like it's more than that! ”
The old man laughed: "This is actually a very ordinary piece of jade, the old man, I have processed it, and it shows that this jade is the best color, so the cost of jade is not high." If you must include the old man's salary, it will cost a thousand taels! ”
"Could it be...... Is this an alchemist? Mu Lixiang's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but ask, "Legend has it that the refiner can still turn it into gold!" ”
The old man didn't seem to have thought that there were still people who knew about the existence of refiners, because the profession of refiner had long since declined, and people with a little ability rushed to become martial artists or spirits, who would be addicted to all kinds of metal jade?
"Alchemist?"
It was the first time Feng Changying had heard of this profession, but she knew very well that there were many rare professions on the Azure Continent, so she immediately understood that she was lucky and met a master-level figure, so she took out a Huiling Pill from the space bracelet, which was made by her personally, although it was not the best, it was just a product, but it was definitely the best on the market!
Feng Changying handed this product of the Huiling Pill to the old man in front of him: "Master, this is a product of Huiling Pill that I have refined, and it is regarded as the master's salary, as for the cost of this jade statue, please also ask the master to accept it." ”
Although the old man took the elixir handed over by Feng Changying, he frowned tightly: "The guest officer is a pharmacist?" Could it be ...... Are you from the Holy Mercy District? ”
"The little woman's surname is Feng, and her maiden name is Changying, which is the medical order appointed by the emperor today." Feng Changying no longer concealed his identity and spoke softly.
The old man's eyes lit up, and then he happily accepted the elixir: "Old man, I am Xiang Xifeng, and I am indeed a refiner. The girl is very good, you can take this jade statue directly! ”
Feng Changying understood that this was not the place to talk, so he didn't continue to get close to this old man named Xiang Xifeng, she asked Mu Lixiang to find the shopkeeper to pack up the jade statue, and after a few words of greeting with Xiang Xifeng, she left the jade shop with Mu Lixiang.
"Refiners are very rare, I didn't expect this Shadow Flow Region to be really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." Mu Lixiang threw the jade statue into the storage bag she carried with her, this bag was the one that Feng Changying brought back from the Pharmacist Union, she was a good boy who made the best use of everything!
"Yes, you can contact him again after the beginning of spring, if only you could take it for your own use, refiner...... It will definitely help me in my future spirit stone business. ”
"Miss, I've always wanted to ask why you are in the spirit stone business? Spirit stones are more valuable than gold and silver! Mu Lixiang really didn't understand why Feng Changying hit the idea on the heads of those spirit stones, spirit stones are a very important mineral, but they are rare, and the price is also expensive, no matter how you look at it, it is definitely not a good investment business.
"Although I didn't intend to give me a lot of spirit stones, the spirit stones are useless to me, but since I knew that the machine spirit had to feed on spirit stones, I felt ...... It's not just a business opportunity, but it's also a good business to not only make money, but also earn something you need. Feng Changying smiled slightly, but she didn't say any more, she raised her eyes to look ahead, and found that not far away was the place where she was attacked by the Phoenix Divine Beast that day, that is the neutral zone where the three don't care, and the three can't be managed!
Although it is said to be a neutral area, it is just an ordinary crossroads for ordinary people, so it does not look like an important area at all.
Suddenly, seeing a commotion in the neutral zone, Feng Changying raised his eyebrows and stepped forward quickly.
On the street facing the Sacred Mercy Quarter, there were many people gathered around to watch the excitement as a little girl in tattered clothes pulled a dilapidated wooden cart was driven out of the Sacred Mercy Quarter by several church guards.
"This is ......" Bong Chang Ying watched from afar, not knowing what was going on.
"That's selling yourself to bury your father." An aunt heard Feng Changying's self-talk, and immediately gossiped, "That little girl seems to be from a poor family in Chaodong District, her father, who depends on each other, can't survive this winter and dies, and the family has no money, so she can only sell her body to bury her father, but she really has the guts, and she actually wants to go to the Holy Mercy District to sell her body...... At first glance, you can tell that it is a child who has never known what the Holy Mercy District is! ”
"That's it, that's it." Another young woman echoed, "There are many poor people in the eastern district who think that there are good people in the holy mercy area, and they come to the goddess to pray if they have any difficulties, but they don't know that the holy mercy area is not for their poor families to enter. It's good to get her out now, that corpse ......"
Before the young woman could finish speaking, Bong Changying saw a church guard raise his foot and kick over the dilapidated wooden cart, and the body of the emaciated man on the cart rolled on the cold ground......
