One of them said with a bitter and unwilling expression, "Brother Manager, we just had bad luck, but we didn't do anything wrong."
"Yes, after the problem occurred, we strictly followed the isolation method you set and did not go out once."
"I feel really wronged. I have never had any contact with other people. I was infected inexplicably just because my spiritual field was close to those infected spiritual fields."
…
Manager Sun looked at everyone without interrupting them. He waited until they finished speaking before speaking slowly.
"I know that you are unwilling to bear such a huge loss for nothing and think that it is just bad luck.
But for those of us who practice Taoism, luck is extremely important.
To put it simply, without a bit of luck, none of you would even be able to enter the Xiaoyao Sect and embark on the path of cultivating immortals."
Xu Chunniang nodded in agreement. If she hadn't happened to have spiritual roots, and it hadn't been detected by a passing senior brother, she would probably still be starving in Xujia Village.
Seeing that everyone finally stopped talking, Manager Sun continued, "Before accepting the commission, you should have thought about the possibility of this happening. After all, the higher the return, the higher the risk. You don't even need me to remind you of this, do you?"
Forty contribution points may sound like a lot, but in reality, you can earn it back in a year or two.
What's more, these disciples actually still have a lot of stock. They complained loudly just to minimize the losses.
Xu Chunniang shook her head, ignored these people, and walked down the mountain. She had just exchanged some spirit stones, and she still had to go buy some more.
She went to the Transmission Pavilion first, hoping to find a book on body-building techniques. However, after searching for a long time, she finally found a few books on body-building techniques in the mid-level Qi training techniques area.
Looking at the several books of magic in front of her, Xu Chunniang felt a little embarrassed.
The price of a mid-level Qi training technique is six times that of a primary technique. In other words, a single body training technique is worth thirty spirit stones.
And she only had eighteen spirit stones on her body.
Xu Chunniang thought about it and decided to go to Duobao Pavilion first to see if she could get some spiritual rice in exchange for some spiritual stones.
According to sect regulations, ordinary spiritual rice cannot be sold privately, but some crescent rice can be sold.
After all, this is a new variety she created herself, and selling a little of it wouldn't be against the rules. She just didn't know if anyone would buy it.
Xu Chunniang first went to the store that sold cooking utensils, bought some cooking beads, and then went into the Lingmi store next door.
The Lingmi Shop's business is neither good nor bad. In addition to various types of Lingmi, it also sells many ingredients.
Spiritual food is not something that ordinary disciples can afford. Most of those who come to the spiritual rice shop to buy it are cultivators in the late stage of Qi training.
Therefore, when he saw that Xu Chunniang was only in the middle stage of Qi training, a look of surprise flashed across the owner's face, and then it turned into a smile.
"What would you like to buy, Junior Sister? We have spiritual rice, spiritual noodles, some monster meat, and so on. Although spiritual food is expensive, eating it for a long time will be very helpful to our practice."
Xu Chunniang directly explained her purpose, "I have a kind of magical rice that I want to sell. I wonder if you would accept it, Senior Brother."
The shop owner hesitated for a moment and refused, "I have several kinds of spiritual rice here, and I also have a fixed supply channel, so I am not short of spiritual rice."
Xu Chunniang took a look at the spiritual rice displayed outside. In addition to the ordinary spiritual rice, there were indeed several other kinds of spiritual rice.
There is a kind of rice that sells for two spirit stones per pound, which is just as good as crescent rice.
There is even a kind of expensive spiritual rice, which has more spiritual energy than crescent rice.
The existence of these magical rices obviously confirms what the shop owner said, that he indeed has no shortage of supply channels.
Xu Chunniang walked out of the Lingmi Shop with some disappointment.
Crescent Moon Rice is not selling well, what else can she sell
What is it that she has that others don't
Xu Chunniang suddenly stopped and a look of realization appeared on her face. She still had the spiritual dew!
It is perfect to use spiritual dew to cook spiritual food. I believe many people will rush to buy it!
Xu Chunniang turned around, with a smile on her face, and walked back to the Lingmi Shop.
When the owner of the Lingmi shop saw Xu Chunniang coming back, a trace of surprise flashed across his face, but he still said patiently, "Hello, we don't accept Lingmi."
Xu Chunniang shook her head. "I'm not selling spiritual rice. In addition to spiritual rice, I also have a kind of spiritual spring water. Cooking spiritual food with spiritual spring water can increase the spiritual energy content in the spiritual food, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of the spiritual food."
This time the shop owner did not rush to refuse. In fact, he knew about this kind of spiritual spring and had even eaten some spiritual food cooked with it before.
"It is true that spiritual spring water can increase the effectiveness of spiritual food, but how much it can increase depends on the quality of the spiritual spring water."
Xu Chunniang thought about it and took out a kettle.
I got this kettle from a cookware store after negotiating with the owner to hold spiritual dew to water the spiritual rice.
Because the spiritual rice was ripe, there was still half a pot of spiritual dew left over from the previous two days.
The owner took the kettle, fetched a small bowl, poured out a little of the liquid in the kettle, took a sip, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
The spiritual spring water tastes sweet and refreshing, and contains a lot of spiritual energy.
Although this amount of spiritual energy entering his body was like a drop in the ocean, in fact, as a spiritual spring water, it was already very good to have such abundant spiritual energy.
The shop owner smiled and asked, "I'll take this spiritual spring water. How many of these spiritual springs do you have?"
Xu Chunniang also smiled, "That depends on how much this spiritual spring costs."
The shop owner thought about it and offered a fair price. "How about this bowl of spiritual spring water counts as one portion and is priced at two spiritual stones?"
Xu Chunniang glanced at the bowl in the shopkeeper's hand. One bowl was about the weight of three small bottles, and it could be condensed in the time of an incense stick. Considering the spiritual energy contained in this bowl of spiritual dew, the price of two spirit stones was reasonable.
So he nodded and said, "Okay. But this spiritual spring water needs to be stored in a container that seals the spiritual energy and cannot be exposed to the outside for a long time. And the sooner this spiritual spring water is used, the better its effect will be. If it is left for a month, it will even lose its effectiveness."
The shop owner nodded, "I know."
He had drunk the spiritual spring water before, so he naturally knew that what Xu Chunniang said was true.
Xu Chunniang didn't have much spiritual dew on hand, only three portions. She claimed that she didn't have the spiritual spring water with her and had to go back to get some. After making an appointment to come back tomorrow, she walked out of Duobao Pavilion.
After leaving Duobao Pavilion, Xu Chunniang did not return to Lingzhi Peak, but walked towards the teaching hall.
The round trip took too long, and she found it troublesome, so she decided to make a batch of "spiritual spring water" nearby and sell it.
After swiping the token and entering the first floor of the teaching hall, Xu Chunniang walked towards the east courtyard, entered an independent teaching room, and began to make spiritual dew.
Whether you can earn enough spirit stones to buy magic depends on these spiritual dews.
