Chapter 22: Journey to the West (4)
"In the past few days, I've earned a lot more than I used to!" Nie Linghui was holding a small stack of fragments of various colors in her hand, and there were still some fruits, herbs and other things on the table next to her - most of the monks, especially the Qi refining stage cultivators, were still in the barter stage, and these were all earned by her and Zhao Li in the past few days. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"There will be more tomorrow, by the way, this is the spirit stone?" Zhao Li picked up a fragment from Nie Linghui's hand, looking at it carefully, this fragment is cyan, about the size of a fingernail, through the afterglow of dusk, you can see a slight color change, Zhao Li can feel the spiritual power contained in it, today the two of them are off work, they have also decided, then the stall will be opened at sunrise, and the stall will be closed at sunset.
"No, this is called spirit shattering, these add up to a little more than ten taels, half of us," Nie Linghui pulled half of it out of his hand, put it in Zhao Li's hand, and pointed to the miscellaneous items on the table, and said, "These things will be divided after I sell them." ”
"If we hadn't been snatched away by Huang Bahu's repair scum, we would have at least one or two more points each. Zhao Li took the spirit fragments.
"Then you will cultivate well, and when your cultivation will go up, naturally no one will dare to bully you again. By the way, do you have a storage bag? If you don't have one, you should use it sooner, or the spirit shatter will evaporate. Nie Linghui was on the side to popularize science for Zhao Li.
Only spiritual power crystals that have reached a certain purity can be called spirit stones, and such small pieces of spiritual power fragments are all called spirit fragments, although the two are actually essentially the same, spirit stones are extremely widely used in the life of monks, whether it is to maintain the magic circle talisman, alchemy or the use of magic weapons, etc., all need to use spirit stones. Although it is strange to use high consumables as general equivalents, Zhao Li doesn't care very much, anyway, he is not an economist, it would be good if he could let him change this into Gu Dan or other things he needs, as for other expansion functions, he can't use them yet.
"Where did these spirit fragments and spirit stones come from?" Zhao Li was a little curious.
"Most of the spirit stones are dug out of the spirit stone mine, but the foundation building and self-cultivation can also be condensed, and the spirit shattering is basically condensed by qi refining cultivators. Nie Linghui said.
"What?Self Condensation Spirit Stone?" Zhao Li's eyes lit up, isn't this everyone a money printing machine?
But Nie Linghui immediately poured a basin of cold water on Zhao Li: "It's not as beautiful as you think, taking me as an example, the spiritual power that can be absorbed every day is only 1 or 2 taels to condense the spirit shatter, which is about the same as my income from setting up a stall, but the most important point, if the spiritual energy is used to condense the spirit shatter, what can I use to cultivate and improve?"
Zhao Li nodded and understood, thought about it, and said, "Go back today, go get a banner, how can you open a tea stall without a signboard?"
"What kind of signboard does a small tea stall want, and only those who have stores put up signboards. And I'll only boil empty tung tea..." Boss Nie is still a little embarrassed about this kind of high-profile thing.
"It's different now, we want to be bigger and stronger, how can we do without a brand?"
"What's that called?" Lady Nie's tone was not very sure.
"How about calling Nie Ji Kongtong Tea or Nie Ji Self-Service Tea?" Zhao Li asked.
"It's not good, it's not good, this empty tung tea doesn't have much spiritual power..." Nie Linghui shook his head and said again: "The tea stall business has improved, your Journey to the West is the first achievement, why don't you call it the Journey to the West Tea Stall?"
"That's not good, what if I don't tell Journey to the West in the future and tell other stories?" Zhao Linian muttered: "Why don't you call it Starbucks?"
"Ah, let's just call it Chabak!" Zhao Li slapped his thigh and decided.
"Chabake, what does this mean?" Nie Linghui's face was full of doubts.
"It doesn't matter what it means, it's the most annoying to choose a name, just call it this, everyone will remember this name in the future!" Zhao Li didn't want to worry about the name anymore.
······
With some money, no, it's a little broken, and taking advantage of the fact that the weather doesn't seem to be very good tonight, Zhao Li wants to take advantage of today to visit the shops in Yuntai Shanfang City, and go to see Yu Xiuqi by the way, and buy some high-quality Bigu Dan, which is not very good to eat from others - the Bigu Dan that Zhao Li eats now is really inferior, and some even get hungry after only two hours after eating...
The flow of people in Yuntai Mountain near night is not much less than that during the day, and it can be called a town that never sleeps. Zhao Li understood after a little thought, many monks earned spirit stones outside during the day, for example, among the tea guests, there were those who went to the mountains behind Yuntai Mountain to dig elixirs and pick spiritual fruits during the day, and waited until the evening or even a few days later before returning to Yuntai Mountain to sell them.
Compared with the daytime, Yuntai Shanfang City at night has another flavor, due to the high altitude, you can see the bright starlight clearly when you look up on Yuntai Mountain at night, and the stalls on the roadside at night are all closed, only the shop with a façade is opened, and a lantern is hung at the door - this is not an ordinary candle lantern, but a spiritual lamp engraved with lighting and insect repellent charms, and driven by spirit stones, a lamp can illuminate a large area, but it costs a lot, and one or two spirit fragments will be used up in one night.
"It's as bright as a super fluorescent lamp. These are Zhao Li's original words.
Zhao Li remembered that Yu Xiuqi was in a pharmacy called "Baicao Garden", so he searched all the way, and when he arrived, he found that the pharmacy was still open, and the performance should be quite good - there were two spiritual lamps lit at the door, which consumed a lot of spiritual stones.
Zhao Li walked into the store, and praised it in his heart, there were even four spiritual lamps lit in the store, which shone the same as during the day, this year, just the spirit shatter or the lower grade spirit stone, I am afraid it will consume thousands of taels!
"Brother Yu!" Zhao Li entered the store and watched for a while, only to find Yu Xiuqi who was busy, this pharmacy was at the peak of the medicine collection at this moment - a large number of monks who had returned from collecting medicine from outside were selling medicinal materials.
"Brother Zhao, wait for me for a moment. When Yu Xiuqi saw Zhao Li, a smile appeared on his face, he said hello to Zhao Li, turned his head to the monk who came to sell medicine, accelerated the movement in his hand, weighed the medicinal materials in his hand, and then guided the monk selling medicine in front of him to the side.
"Yu Daoyou is busy. Seeing Yu Xiuqi coming, Zhao Li first quipped.
"I work hard all day but I can't save a few spirit stones, and the rest of the time is only enough for cultivation. Yu Xiuqi smiled bitterly, a little steward in this "Hundred Herb Garden" was a friend of his great-grandfather when he was alive, so he could go in here to make a move and earn a few spirit stones.
"By the way, Brother Zhao Dao, how are you doing now? I broke up with you in a hurry that day, only to remember that even Bigu Dan didn't divide you, and when I turned back to look for you, I didn't see you again..." When Yu Xiuqi said this, his face was a little impressive, but he smiled again: "But looking at your current appearance, I am too worried." ”
Although Zhao Li is only wearing ordinary cloth clothes now, in the past few days, he has been talking about stories during the day and practicing at night, and he has lived a very regular life, and he has also eaten Bigu Dan, and when he is thirsty, he drinks empty tung tea, and his complexion and expression are much better than before.
"It's just a mix of food and clothing. Zhao Li smiled and said: "By the way, Brother Yu, in addition to seeing you here, I also want to buy some Bigu Dan, preferably once a day." ”
"It seems that Brother Zhao is doing well. But do you know what the price of one serving of Bigu Dan a day is?" Yu Xiuqi said with a smile, after all, it is generally good to be able to eat Bigu Dan if he has just arrived in Yuntai Mountain—and it is often a Bigu Dan several times a day.
"Yu Xiuqi, what are you doing? Others are so busy, are you chatting here?" Zhao Li and Yu Xiuqi didn't have a few words to chat, and a monk who looked old walked up to the two of them and scolded directly.
