Chapter 141: Gold and Silver
After reading at home for a few days and spending a happy time with Wen Meng and his sister, Xiaotian finally set off for Baohuai Palace.
After Xiaotian left, Yang Wenmeng still lived in the same room with Wei Fengjue, usually Wei Fengjue practiced in the room, Yang Wenmeng occasionally took care of the herbs, and the rest of the time he studied in the room.
"Sister, you said that Senior Brother is so stingy, why is he so bold in giving Senior Sister Zhou?" Wei Fengjue whispered to Yang Wenmeng, and now there were only two of them in the room.
Before Xiao Tian left, he called Zhou Lumei to his house again, and took out a hundred spirit stones as a reward, asking her to protect her two ladies at home.
"Childe is not as stingy as you think, he just doesn't want to spend more. Yang Wenmeng defended Xiaotian.
"Is there any difference?" Wei Fengjue asked puzzledly, she had felt that Yang Wenmeng's defense of Xiaotian had gone too far before, although it was possible for her to do the same in front of outsiders.
"Childe will never be stingy where he needs to spend money, and he has not made us suffer a little bit for you and me. He usually saves money in order not to be embarrassed at critical moments. Immortal Master Zhou is here to protect us, do his best, of course Gongzi has to give us more spirit stones. After ensuring the stability of the family, the son can rest assured that he can learn alchemy in the Baohuai Palace. Yang Wenmeng explained.
"It would be nice if my brother was also generous to me, if I want something, he never wills to give it to me simply. The senior brother is so unpleasing to the girl, it's a shame that he can trick so many people into proposing. Wei Fengjue still said a little dissatisfied.
"Actually, Gongzi has already left a lot of spirit stones and pills for you, but he told me that I must become an official disciple before I can hand them over to you little by little. Yang Wenmeng smiled and comforted.
"Really, brother, really, so unfrankly. Sister, I will finish practicing the first layer of exercises soon, you must urge me more in the future, I will finish the second layer of exercises before my senior brother comes back. Wei Fengjue knew that his heart was not strong, so he asked Yang Wenmeng for help.
"Okay, don't be annoyed when my sister arrives. Yang Wenmeng agreed.
It is rare in the world to have such a good relationship between the two ladies as Xiaotian, and the two have gotten along very well in the past few months, and they have become more and more like real sisters.
But she said that Zhou Lumei's side, in less than a year, she had obtained one hundred and sixty spirit stones from Xiaotian, and with such a large income, she began to make some calculations.
"Miss Yang, I have some things I want to discuss with you. After eating that day, Zhou Lumei stopped Yang Wenmeng and wanted to talk to her alone.
Xiaotian brought a concubine home again, and advanced to the cultivation period, so it was difficult for Master Zhou's nephew to call Yang Wenmeng's sister-in-law, so he called Miss Yang. Although Yang Wenmeng is a wife, she is not very old, so she doesn't care about her name.
"Is there anything Immortal Master Zhou would like to order?" Yang Wenmeng respectfully agreed.
"That's right, I see that you usually use some gold and silver, and Uncle Sun seems to often use gold and silver when he goes out; Zhou Lumei said with some embarrassment.
She had long known that Xiao Tian had given Yang Wenmeng a lot of spirit stones for daily expenses, and Xiao Tian's shop would also send spirit stones up the mountain every month; Yang Wenmeng usually spent very little, and had accumulated a large number of spirit stones in his hands.
"Why is Immortal Master Zhou short of spirit stones? Gongzi should have brought you a hundred spirit stones when he left, if it is not enough, I have some here." Yang Wenmeng said, and he was going back to the room to get the spirit stone.
"No, Miss Yang, I didn't mean that. I just want to be able to get what you need. You should know that if you exchange spirit stones for gold and silver on the mountain, you can exchange one spirit stone for 1,000 taels of silver, but you can't exchange gold and silver for spirit stones at all. In the black market at the foot of the mountain, even if it is two thousand taels of silver, it is difficult to find someone willing to exchange spirit stones. If Miss Yang is willing, how about I exchange two thousand taels of silver or the equivalent of gold for the spirit stone in your hand?" Zhou Lumei hurriedly stopped Yang Wenmeng, and then proposed to her.
"I also have some understanding of the market price of the spirit stone, and the price proposed by Immortal Master Zhou is indeed very fair, it is better to say that the bid is very generous. However, I would like to ask, what does Immortal Master Zhou want to do if he wants so many spirit stones, and he shouldn't use so much for cultivation in normal times. Yang Wenmeng did not agree immediately, but planned to listen to the other party's purpose first.
In fact, there is no shortage of gold and silver at home, there is not much need for money in the mountains, and occasionally there is a need, Yang Wenmeng's second brother will change some in the store and take them to the mountain. However, since Zhou Lumei is here to help take care of the house, it is not good to refuse her directly, and her offer is really good, and the exchange is not a loss.
"Miss Yang should have heard of the Demon Subjugation Meeting, we, who have no power, can only take the risk of participating in the Demon Subjugation Conference if we want to obtain the Cultivation Pill. However, this demon subjugation will be extremely dangerous, and many people will die there every time, so you must be fully prepared. I just want to raise some spirit stones and buy a good magic weapon so that I can participate in the demon subjugation meeting in two years. Zhou Lumei explained her intentions.
"I see, to buy a good magic weapon, it costs a lot of spirit stones. Immortal Master Zhou, my son-in-law is good at refining weapons, and when he comes back, I can beg him to help you refine a good magic weapon. Yang Wenmeng suggested.
"Actually, I also have this intention, but I can't let him help in vain when I entrust my uncle to refine the weapon. When Uncle Shi entrusted me, he was generous, if I entrusted Uncle Shi with a refining weapon, at least I had to contribute capital at the market price, otherwise I really couldn't pull my face. Zhou Lumei said with a wry smile.
She really wanted to ask Xiao Tian to help her refine a magic weapon cheaply, but Xiao Tian has been so generous these few times, it is really not good to be cheeky and ask for anything. Even if Xiaotian took the initiative to lower the price for her, she couldn't accept it, her uncle was so popular with girls, there would definitely be some misunderstandings in doing so.
"In that case, I'll exchange some spirit stones with the immortal master. Yang Wenmeng said empathetically. She also knew that some monks had an extremely good face and did not want to always be favored, and since this Zhou Immortal Master lived in her own house, he had already gossiped a lot, and the other party didn't want to expand the misunderstanding anymore.
And Yang Wenmeng also has other plans, taking this opportunity to exchange for some gold and silver, which may be of some use in the future.
The two agreed on the amount of exchange, and went back to their rooms.
"Sister, it turns out that the spirit stone is really so valuable, I thought my senior brother was bluffing me. Wei Fengjue also heard the conversation just now, and said to Yang Wenmeng as soon as he saw her come back.
"Childe will never lie to you and me. Yang Wenmeng only replied lightly.
