Chapter 191: Bai Qing'an

"You're asking about that?"

Jiang Yinyin casually picked up a Eight-Treasure Chicken, placed one hand on her hip, and introduced, "I raised this myself. Do you want to buy it?"

"Uh, I mean, where did you get this Eight-Treasure Chicken?"

Jiang Yinyin raised her delicate eyebrows, held up one hand, and raised a single finger: "One hundred lower-grade spirit stones, and I'll tell you!"

Hearing this, Bai Qing'an couldn't help but chuckle, "Fine, tell me!"

As he spoke, Bai Qing'an casually handed Jiang Yinyin one middle-grade spirit stone.

He hadn't seen such an interesting woman in a long time.

Seeing the middle-grade spirit stone in her hand, Jiang Yinyin's eyes immediately sparkled.

After carefully inspecting the middle-grade spirit stone and confirming there were no issues,

Jiang Yinyin proceeded to explain in detail how the residents of Dongxuan City exchanged for half-spirit beasts.

These matters were no secret, nor was there any reason to hide them.

"Got a middle-grade spirit stone for free, hehe!"

After telling Bai Qing'an what he wanted to know, Jiang Yinyin still felt delighted, secretly giggling to herself.

After listening to Jiang Yinyin's account, Bai Qing'an glanced around at the stalls of other ordinary people nearby and suddenly understood, "I see. Your Dongxuan City Lord is quite generous."

Ordinary powers don't even have enough resources for themselves.

How could they possibly give cultivation resources to ordinary residents, even if these were only low-grade cultivation resources?

"Yes, our City Lord is my idol."

When mentioning Ye Qingxuan, Jiang Yinyin's eyes immediately filled with admiration.

The three lackeys behind her, who had remained silent until now, also wore proud expressions, their eyes equally filled with admiration.

Clearly, the three of them strongly agreed with Jiang Yinyin's words.

Observing the expressions of Jiang Yinyin and her group, as well as the smiles on the faces of the stall owners among the ordinary people around them,

Bai Qing'an fell into deep thought.

This Dongxuan City was indeed very different from the cities he had seen before.

"Hey, I've already told you what you wanted to know. Do you want to buy my Eight-Treasure Chicken or not?"

Seeing Bai Qing'an standing in front of her stall in a daze, Jiang Yinyin grew slightly impatient.

Hearing Jiang Yinyin's words, Bai Qing'an snapped out of it and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, I'll buy it. I'll take everything you have here. Name your price!"

"Really?"

Jiang Yinyin looked utterly surprised, then her eyes darted slightly as she quickly quoted her price:

"Eight-Treasure Chicken: one hundred lower-grade spirit stones per bird. Eight-Treasure Chicken eggs: one lower-grade spirit stone per egg."

"We have a total of 180 Eight-Treasure Chickens and 660 Eight-Treasure Chicken eggs here, totaling 18,660 lower-grade spirit stones."

Among these Eight-Treasure Chickens and eggs, 60 chickens and 210 eggs belonged to Zhang Ergou, Wang Dama, and Li Huahua.

The three lackeys of Jiang Yinyin had detected spiritual root talents that were too low, so they received few contribution points.

Therefore, the number of Eight-Treasure Chickens they could exchange for and raise was not very large.

However, these Eight-Treasure Chickens were not the entire stock of the four of them.

In their homes, they were still raising another batch of Eight-Treasure Chickens to continue breeding.

Hearing Jiang Yinyin's quoted price, Bai Qing'an looked at her meaningfully, "You girl are quite greedy."

Hearing these words and sensing Bai Qing'an's gaze,

Jiang Yinyin, who was acting as a merchant for the first time, felt her cheeks flush. Her eyes darted nervously, and she tried to defend herself with little confidence:

"Don't talk nonsense. As a boss, I conduct business based on mutual consent. I'm not stopping you from bargaining."

By the end, she seemed to have found a reason for herself and suddenly became much more assertive.

"If you think it's too expensive, you can bargain! As a boss, I can give you a discount. Name your price!"

"I'll buy it!"

"Huh?"

Jiang Yinyin, who had been about to argue, was suddenly at a loss, looking completely bewildered.

Seeing Jiang Yinyin's reaction, a hint of amusement flashed in Bai Qing'an's eyes.

He took out a storage bag and handed it to Jiang Yinyin, "Here are the spirit stones. Count them."

Jiang Yinyin hesitantly accepted the storage bag, carefully counted the contents, and then happily nodded:

"The spirit stones are fine. These Eight-Treasure Chickens and Eight-Treasure Chicken eggs are yours now."

Afterwards, Jiang Yinyin put away the storage bag, turned to look behind her, and said:

"Ergou, Dama, Huahua, let's go home and split the spirit stones." With that, she skipped away from the stall area.

"Yes, Big Sister!"

Her three lackeys quickly responded, followed Jiang Yinyin's steps, and left the area.

Standing there, Bai Qing'an waved his hand, storing the Eight-Treasure Chickens and Eight-Treasure Chicken eggs from the stall.

With a "snap," he opened the folding fan in his hand and gently fanned himself. Watching Jiang Yinyin's departing figure, he smiled lightly:

"An interesting person. I wonder how her talent is?"

After saying this, he strode forward toward the shops inside the Dongxuan Market.

Bai Qing'an wanted to see what items were available in the shops operated directly by Dongxuan City.

As time passed,

more and more cultivators from various paths entered the Dongxuan Market.

Now, the major shops within the Dongxuan Market were gradually beginning to see foot traffic.

Stepping into one of the shops, Bai Qing'an said with slight surprise:

"Eh, is this a puppet?"

Looking at the busy shop clerks inside, Bai Qing'an instantly saw through their true forms.

His gaze passed over the clerks, and Bai Qing'an looked at the item projections floating behind them.

They displayed the names, grades, and uses of various goods.

"The merchandise is quite complete."

Gazing at the product projections within the shop, Bai Qing'an murmured.

The variety of goods in the Dongxuan Market surpassed his imagination.

Moreover, even elixirs, talismans, formation discs, and magic treasures used by Nascent Soul cultivators were all available in the Dongxuan Market shops.

Upon noticing this, Bai Qing'an frowned.

He had come to discuss the matter of the Treasure Pavilion establishing a branch in Dongxuan City with the city lord.

If the items in the Dongxuan Market were too complete, it would not be a good thing for the Treasure Pavilion, which was about to establish a branch in Dongxuan City.

That was right; from start to finish, Bai Qing'an had never thought Dongxuan City would refuse the Treasure Pavilion's establishment.

In Xingluozhou, the Treasure Pavilion was the largest commercial faction.

Countless resources circulated through the Treasure Pavilion.

With the Treasure Pavilion's establishment, it could instantly make up for the city's deficiencies and bring a certain amount of foot traffic to the city.

Therefore, facing the Treasure Pavilion's proactive establishment,

so far, no city in Xingluozhou had chosen to refuse.

Normally, other cities would send people to the Treasure Pavilion headquarters to apply for the Treasure Pavilion's establishment.

Only after the Treasure Pavilion's inspection passed and deemed the city had development potential would they establish a branch.

Only a city like Dongxuan City, which upon appearing secured the Wulingshan gathering ground of Grade Five demons,

would cause the Treasure Pavilion headquarters to waive the assessment and directly dispatch the Deputy Pavilion Master to discuss the establishment with the city lord.

Bai Qing'an kept scanning the item projections; suddenly, his gaze paused.

"Eh, this is the Nuclear Explosion Elixir? Interesting."

This Nuclear Explosion Elixir was among the auction items promoted by Dongxuan City.

However, no actual product had leaked to the outside world yet.

"Pity, only Grade Four Nuclear Explosion Elixirs are for sale?"

Seeing that the Dongxuan Market shop had Nuclear Explosion Elixirs for sale, Bai Qing'an felt somewhat tempted.

But upon closer inspection, finding only Grade Four Nuclear Explosion Elixirs, he felt a bit disappointed again.

The auction items promoted by Dongxuan City displayed a Grade Five Nuclear Explosion Elixir.

But the shop did not currently have Grade Five Nuclear Explosion Elixirs for sale.

However, out of curiosity, Bai Qing'an still bought a Grade Four Nuclear Explosion Elixir.

Holding the Nuclear Explosion Elixir in his hand, Bai Qing'an's eyes swirled with brilliant light as he stared fixedly at the Grade Four Nuclear Explosion Elixir in his palm.

After a moment, Bai Qing'an's eyes returned to calm. He put away the Grade Four Nuclear Explosion Elixir and curled the corners of his lips:

"This Nuclear Explosion Elixir is indeed interesting!"

"It is time to go meet the city lord of Dongxuan City."

Having spoken, Bai Qing'an left the shop and headed toward the core area of the Dongxuan Market, Wulingshan.
