Chapter 31

"Junior Brother doesn't know, right?"

Wang Dun looked at He Pingsheng, gave a lewd smile, and said: "A bottle of this low-tier Sun Flower pollen can sell for the high price of over ninety spirit stones!"

"The two of us brothers get half a bottle to sell, and you get thirty stones, I get twenty!"

"How about it?"

He Pingsheng shook his head and said: "Wang Shixiong is confused... This pollen is to be sold to Fenghe Manor. Fenghe Manor and Elder Ku Mu are certainly familiar with each other. If we sell it privately, wouldn't we be walking right into a trap?"

"Hehehe..." Wang Dun chuckled and said: "That also makes some sense!"

"How about this, we can keep it for now and sell it after a while. Fenghe Manor might not necessarily notice us!"

He Pingsheng added: "Wang Shixiong, you are confused again. Elder Ku Mu said that this pollen loses its fire spiritual power very easily. After a while, once this fire spiritual power is completely lost, wouldn't it become a useless object? How could it be exchanged for spirit stones?"

"Hahahaha..." Wang Dun heard He Pingsheng's words and burst into loud laughter, saying: "Good, good, good... well said!"

"Junior Brother, actually, just now your brother was testing you!"

"I was afraid you would secretly hide the pollen!"

"You are right, this pollen is useless if we hide it!"

"First, the two of us definitely cannot sell it!"

"Secondly... if it is hidden for too long, it won't take long, within three months, the spiritual power within it will definitely be lost!"

"I didn't expect you to be so intelligent, Junior Brother, seeing through it at a glance."

"Come, here are three spirit stones!" Wang Dun took out three spirit stones and handed them to He Pingsheng: "Elder Ku Mu asked me to prepare them, saying that if you passed the test, these three spirit stones would serve as your hard-earned pay for these days!"

"If you hadn't passed the test, there would have been a sound beating today!"

He Pingsheng immediately felt goosebumps all over his body.

Damn it!

These people are truly something; one by one, they are all skilled at calculating.

"Thank you, Wang Shixiong!" He Pingsheng bowed and took the three spirit stones.

At this moment, he already possessed five spirit stones.

This guy, Elder Ku Mu, is actually quite generous.

Hmm... I'm afraid it's because he earns a lot.

Just now, Wang Shixiong Wang Dun also said that a bottle of this stuff could sell for over ninety spirit stones, and ten bottles a month would be nine hundred stones.

Hiss, hiss, hiss...

Sure enough!

It really is earning a lot.

"Let's go!" Wang Dun took out a paper crane.

He Pingsheng asked: "Where are we going?"

Wang Dun said: "Where else could we go... to the Mount Matou marketplace to sell these pollen grains of Elder Ku Mu's. Otherwise, if we wait for the fire attribute to be lost later, who could take responsibility for that!"

"Activate..."

Wang Dun input a trace of spiritual power from his body, and the paper crane instantly transformed into a yellow immortal crane.

Of course, it was not a real immortal crane, just a puppet, and not a particularly realistic one at that.

He Pingsheng had previously seen this paper crane in the second-floor Changyi Pavilion of the outer sect, selling for five spirit stones each; it could bear a weight of a thousand pounds and travel a thousand miles in a day.

And it could be activated three times.

"Get on!" Wang Dun was the first to land on the paper crane, then said: "Junior Brother He, you hurry up and get on too, time is of the essence!"

"Okay!" He Pingsheng figured that Elder Ku Mu and Wang Dun would not bother calculating against a poor wretch like him, so he leaped onto the back of the paper crane.

"Hold on tight... roar, roar... let's go..."

Whoosh...

The paper crane's wings flapped slightly, and in an instant, it flew into the high sky.

The valley beneath his feet slowly shrank, and the entire Tai Xu Men slowly shrank as well.

This was He Pingsheng's first time flying, and he felt a sense of unreality; he reached out and pinched his leg hard.

Wang Dun, beside him, laughed out loud: "Don't worry, it's not a dream!"

"Junior Brother He, is this your first time riding?"

He Pingsheng nodded: "Yes!"

"It's fine!" Wang Dun comforted him: "You'll get used to it after riding a few more times!"

While speaking, he controlled the speed and direction of the paper crane, heading southeast.

"This Mount Matou marketplace is three thousand miles away from our Tai Xu Men. It's not too far; we can arrive in one morning. We set out in the morning and arrive by noon, and we can return to Tai Xu Men before nightfall!"

The wind howled, making Wang Dun's voice sound distorted.

Just as Wang Dun said, about two hours later, the two flew down from the void and landed in a valley.

This valley was very large, and there was a small town at the valley entrance.

The town was filled with all sorts of people, all of whom were cultivators.

It was extremely lively.

He Pingsheng's spiritual sense swept out, and the cultivation bases of most of the cultivators coming and going here were at the fourth layer or below.

"Junior Brother He..." Wang Dun said: "Do not use your spiritual sense casually; it is very impolite. If you encounter those cultivators who act strangely, it might lead to another fight, and it is common to lose one's life."

He Pingsheng did not know this before, so he quickly retracted his spiritual sense.

Wang Dun continued: "This is the Mount Matou marketplace!"

"Within ten thousand miles of this area, there are dozens of sects like our Tai Xu Men. These dozens of sects all belong to one alliance, named the 【Dao Xuan Alliance】."

"And Mount Matou is basically located at the very center of this Dao Xuan Alliance, so a marketplace was set up here!"

"To allow everyone to communicate with each other and exchange what they have for what they need!"

"Of course, it is not just disciples from various sects; there are also many rogue cultivators!"

After hearing Wang Dun's words, He Pingsheng gained some understanding of Mount Matou and the Dao Xuan Alliance.

He Pingsheng followed Wang Dun as they walked along.

He discovered that there were many merchant associations in Mount Matou.

Looking at it, both sides of the street were filled with merchant associations selling various items.

There were also many individual cultivators setting up stalls on the ground.

Wang Dun pulled He Pingsheng and entered the shop named 【Fenghe Manor】 directly.

"Shopkeeper Liu!" Wang Dun walked to the counter, gave a silly smile, and said: "I am a disciple under Elder Ku Mu of Tai Xu Men!"

"Oh!" Shopkeeper Liu raised his head and said: "So it is a disciple of Fellow Daoist Ku Mu. Please, please, please... what is this..."

Wang Dun said: "My master has matters to attend to and could not come, so he sent his disciples to help him sell some pollen. It is all top-quality Sun Flower pollen; please take a look!"

While speaking, He Pingsheng opened a cloth bag, which contained eleven bottles.

"Hehe..." Shopkeeper Liu smiled and said: "Alright... let me take a look!"

He carefully opened all the bottles, looked through them, and nodded: "Not bad, a total of ten and a half bottles. The quality is all low-tier. According to the previous price, I will give ninety-six spirit stones per bottle, for a total of one thousand and eight stones!"

"Alright, you can go now!"

After finishing, Shopkeeper Liu waved his hand directly.

He Pingsheng was stunned: No spirit stones given, and we have to leave?

Then, Shopkeeper Liu added: "Wait... I need to give you a receipt, otherwise, you two won't be able to report back to that guy Ku Mu, right?"
