Chapter 2485: Setting Up a Stall to Sell Fish

~7 min read 1,383 words

A scholar may be killed but not insulted; since they dared to come, they had naturally prepared themselves mentally.

But now hearing the discussion of Tianlin and the others, these three Heavenly Spirit Tribe members only felt they had suffered a great insult.

What do these words mean? Do you really think they're just fish meat on the chopping block? You humans think you can kill them as you please? That's going too far.

Thinking this, the three Water Spirit Tribe members also spoke angrily.

"Wait."

"Huh???"

"If you have the ability, one-on-one, a fair ………………"

"So much nonsense, if you're not food, what are you being arrogant about?"

Simply not waiting for it to finish speaking, Tianlin directly killed one Water Spirit Tribe member with a finger blast.

The whole process took only the blink of an eye; even this Water Spirit Tribe member had no chance to react, and immediately fell straight down.

The other two Water Spirit Tribe members, seeing this, were also stunned in place, wondering what the situation was now.

It's dead just like that? It died too easily; what happened to the promised fair fight?

But their outcome was the same; since they had no value, they were killed—Tianlin struck, slaying all three Water Spirit Tribe members, and then stored their corpses in the Space Ring.

Living things cannot be placed in the Space Ring, but dead things can, so Tianlin never even considered capturing them alive—too troublesome.

Moreover, even if they were captured alive and brought back to the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens, the reward received at the Heavenly Palace would be the same.

It wouldn't give you a greater reward just because you captured them alive.

In that case, it's even more not worth the effort to go through the trouble; killing them outright and taking them away is more convenient.

The appearance of the three Water Spirit Tribe members was, for Ye Zhangqing and company, merely a minor incident.

Afterward, the group continued their training in the Great Marsh Lake, but as the number of people they encountered increased.

Ye Zhangqing and company also became completely famous.

There's no way not to become famous—catching fish like this makes anyone envious.

They catch one marsh fish with great effort, but Tianlin and Miao Qianqian can catch fish by the basketful—literally one pot after another.

Moreover, the efficiency is extremely high; almost just after a dozen breaths, they can finish.

People just watch enviously; even if they want to learn the fish-catching skill, they simply can't, and after many attempts they all end in failure.

Seeing many marsh fish go into Ye Zhangqing and company's pockets, some young cultivators who had also come for training suddenly had a bright idea.

If they can't catch fish themselves, they can buy them.

These guys are so fierce at catching fish, with so much stock, selling two to myself should be doable as long as the price is right.

So, someone stepped forward and told Ye Zhangqing they wanted to buy fish.

Ye Zhangqing naturally had no interest, shook his head, and said keeping the marsh fish to take back as ingredients, selling them for a little money wasn't worth it or meaningful.

Mainly, Ye Zhangqing wasn't short of money.

Seeing this, the young cultivator felt a bit discouraged but still not giving up, went up to Tianlin and asked.

Aside from Ye Zhangqing, Tianlin and Miao Qianqian also have plenty of marsh fish.

After all, the fishing has always been done by the two of them; Ye Zhangqing actually hasn't made a move himself.

【33】 "Fellow Daoist, you already have so many marsh fish; could you sell me two? I haven't gained anything this trip—you set the price; as long as it's fair, I won't haggle."

His words were sincere, and he indeed showed sincerity.

As long as Tianlin doesn't ask for an exorbitant price, he can accept it.

Seeing this, Tianlin felt somewhat moved, mainly because keeping this stuff himself would later have Ye Zhangqing handle it.

But exchanging it for resources like Heavenly Spirit Pills would also work; we don't have to sell it all.

Moreover, with this much quantity, Ye Zhangqing might not really have the energy to deal with it later.

This time they were lucky to catch Ye Zhangqing in a good mood; normally, Ye Zhangqing is the type who would rather lie down than sit up.

So selling some marsh fish is also a good suggestion.

But regarding the price, Tianlin currently doesn't know, so he turned to look at He Muqin and the young man and asked.

"What's the market price for this marsh fish? Do you know?"

"You really want to sell?"

"We have too much stock; selling some is fine."

There's too much inventory; selling some is also fine.

Seeing Tianlin's calm expression, He Muqin and the young man three felt he was just showing off.

"We have too much stock; listen, is this even human talk?"

However, the fish were caught by them, and along the way we've been freeloading on their food and drink, so naturally we have no right to stop their decision.

After thinking, the young man offered a relatively high price.

"Over one meter, adult marsh fish are worth fifty Heavenly Spirit Pills; two meters can reach a hundred; three meters can reach three hundred."

This price the young man already shouted high, mainly wanting Tianlin to earn a bit more.

Hearing that, Tianlin didn't think much, turned his head to the young man and said.

"You heard it—just go with this price; do you want it?"

Hearing that, the young man gritted his teeth silently; this price is indeed a bit steep, but the problem is that the high end isn't much, still within the fair range.

It's somewhat fair, but indeed not much.

Finally, after a brief hesitation, the young man gritted his teeth and bought one one-meter fish and one two-meter fish.

And Tianlin's account gained one hundred fifty Heavenly Spirit Pills.

"Hey, this marsh fish is pretty valuable; if in the future I can't make it in the Beyond the Heavens, I can come here to the Great Marsh Lake to catch fish."

Tianlin thought he had discovered a path to wealth, but Ye Zhangqing beside him laughed.

Tianlin thought he had discovered a way to make money, but Ye Zhangqing, standing to the side, laughed.

"What you think of, those old senior experts couldn't think of; this is basically a one‑hammer deal."

"The growth of marsh fish also takes time, ah; if we catch them like this, once is still okay, but if we come a couple more times, the marsh fish will be gone, and the Heavenly Palace won't allow such a thing."

"That's right."

"Hearing that, Tianlin also felt he was being a bit greedy."

"Besides, he is the esteemed young master of the Heavenly Family; how could he make a living by catching fish? That would surely infuriate his old father."

"Afterward, the news that they could buy marsh fish here spread slowly, and the number of young cultivators coming to buy fish grew more and more."

"These people's thoughts are simple: if I can't catch fish, I'll just spend money to buy them; after all, I absolutely cannot return empty-handed."

"In response, Tianlin naturally was pleased with this, but after a turn of thought, he always felt that selling at this price was a bit of a loss."

"Immediately he suddenly thought of a great idea: set up a stall to buy fish."

"\"Fellow cultivators, we are still in training, with three days left before we prepare to return; three days later, I will set up a stall at the dock. Those who need to buy fish, you can go to the dock then. \""

"He no longer sells sporadically, but concentrates sales; at that time, let the highest bidder win—wouldn't that earn even more?"

"When the atmosphere rises, people easily get carried away; once they get carried away, many things become hard to say."

"Tianlin secretly calculated in his mind, while many young cultivators also didn't realize the problem; hearing this, although they were somewhat disappointed, they still nodded and agreed, and indicated they would go to the dock in three days to wait."
