Druid in the Xianxia world

Chapter 90 Yaxin was given to Zhong Cang

While talking about wanting to take something, or something good in exchange for the grain in Zhong Cang's hand, Mo Shuyu took the lead in taking out a jade bottle from his storage ring. "This is the Earth Marrow Spirit Liquid, of top quality. It can enhance a person's physical fitness and the carrying capacity of the human meridians. Zhong Cang, didn't you say that your meridians have limited carrying capacity and that you don't absorb much energy every day? Here, this is the treasure I prepared for you."

"……Thanks."

Zhong Cang was grateful to Mo Shuyu from the bottom of his heart.

Moreover, he was not only thanking Mo Shuyu for giving him the top-grade spiritual liquid, but also thanking her for standing up and saying those words just now, so that he would not suffer any loss.

She said this and took out the treasure first to make such a statement. It was indeed not easy for Robende and others behind her to ask for the grain seeds directly.

In the end, several people were willing to give things to Zhong Cang.

Among them, Robende gave Zhong Cang a white jade pendant.

"This is what I, the old Taoist, got from the palace where I discovered the white jade wall. It is a treasure that can dissolve into spirit seeds and can imbue your spirit seeds with cloud properties."

What Du Kui gave was a storage bag and a...turtle shell.

"Although humans are the most intelligent creatures, demons are also favored by heaven and earth. Many demons are born extraordinary and have unique abilities. The White Jade Luo Turtle is a special kind of demon. They are born with a close proximity to the Tao, and the back of their shells even have Tao patterns. It is said that when a Luo Turtle grows to the level of a demon king, the patterns on its back will even form a natural Tao pattern, giving it innate magical powers."

"Although the tortoise shell in my hand has not yet reached the level of a demon king, it is also at the level of a great demon. The Dao patterns on the shell are almost formed. If you study it more, you will gain some results."

Apart from the three of them, Qi Wei really wanted to give something, but what she had in her hand was not enough to give out, so she could only go back and tell her father, who was the mayor of the city, and let her father make the decision.

As for Yaxin, she said that her master was coming soon and all transactions would be decided by Yayun.

Then they waited here for a while.

It wasn't until an incense stick's time had passed that Yayun finally arrived. This made Mo Shuyu, who had been waiting for a long time, somewhat dissatisfied. "She made us wait for so long. Shopkeeper Yayun is indeed a knowledgeable person. She doesn't even care about a grain like Green Seedling No. 1."

This made Yayun smile and wave her hand: "Miss Mo Shuyu is wrong. I valued Green No. 1 Grain Seed too much and Mr. Zhong Cang too much, so I came a little late."

As she spoke, she took out some things and handed them directly to Zhong Cang.

"This is a contract. From now on, Mr. Zhong Cang will be a specially invited guest of our Youyun Chamber of Commerce. From now on, he will be able to withdraw some spirit stones from our chamber of commerce without having to do anything for our chamber of commerce."

"This is the human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum that you wanted, sir. I spent some money to get it from someone, and now it's yours."

"This is the Three Suns Reflection Stone. It has some connection with the sun and emits sunlight. More importantly, it can be placed in the Heart Sea Spirit Seed, allowing your Spirit Seed to be nourished by the power of the sun every day."

She immediately gave Zhong Cang three extremely precious treasures. After doing all this, Yayun smiled and said:
"These three items are my welcome gift to you, sir, to congratulate you on cultivating grains that will benefit the nation and all people."

"A gift is a gift, and a transaction is a transaction. Our Youyun Chamber of Commerce will pay a separate price for the grain seeds you sold me."

"..."

Zhong Cang was a little surprised that Youyun Chamber of Commerce was so extravagant, and he was even more amazed.

Since they were so sincere, Zhong Cang naturally would not make things difficult for them. In the subsequent transaction, Zhong Cang gave Youyun Chamber of Commerce a huge share.

The tedious discussion dragged on for a long time. Finally, everyone left the place, looking back every few steps. They immediately got busy—they needed to purchase and rent ordinary land in preparation for planting the Green No. 1 grain seed. While the others were busy after leaving, Yayun and Yaxin from the Youyun Chamber of Commerce did not return to the Chamber of Commerce after leaving Huangni Village. Instead, they stood in the darkness for a long time.

After staring at Huangni Village for a long while, Yayun suddenly spoke: "Xin'er, what do you think of Zhong Cang?"

"His talent is extraordinary... Whether it's his talent for cultivation or his talent for research and development, he is unrivaled in the world. As long as nothing unexpected happens along the way, he will definitely become a world-renowned powerful being and a great sage... He also has a kind heart."

When saying the last sentence, Yaxin thought of the previous negotiation. Zhong Cang did not work too hard to fight for her own interests, but agreed that they could hire people, but they had to ensure the survival of the hired people.

Just as Yaxin was sighing for Zhong Cang, Yayun's next words surprised her.

"It seems that you have a very good opinion of Zhong Cang. In this case, I ask you to recognize Zhong Cang as your master and work for him. Are you willing?"

"Ugh?!"

This question was something Yaxin had never expected. Subconsciously, she replied, "Master, I don't want to leave you."

This made Yayun laugh: "Silly child, you will eventually get married. Zhong Cang is from a very good family. Of course, I won't hide it from you. Letting you follow Zhong Cang will benefit me and Youyun Chamber of Commerce as well."

Having said this, she looked into the distance and said with some regret:

"Zhong Cang is incredibly talented. Just as you said, he will become a great sage and a supremely powerful being in the future. We at Youyun Chamber of Commerce will do our utmost to win over such a genius."

"But ordinary attempts to win him over won't be very effective for a genius like him. Relationships are the key to binding our Youyun Chamber of Commerce to him."

"This is an opportunity. Because of the Shuang family's contempt, Shuang Lingxue left her side, leaving him without a close companion and with many trivial matters to deal with. If you go there, you will definitely be able to fill Shuang Lingxue's vacancy and become Zhong Cang's capable subordinate."

"With such a relationship, even if he marries the daughter of a powerful family in the future, he will not treat you unfairly."

Yayun plans to give Yaxin to Zhong Cang to deepen their relationship. If Zhong Cang were here, he would find that the conversation between the two clearly indicates that Yaxin can only be a concubine and cannot be a wife.

The reason for this is that the classes in this era were clearly divided, and the custom of marriage was to marry someone of equal social status.

Yaxin always calls Yayun her master. Although the latter regards the former as a family member, it is only verbal. In her heart, she always regards Yaxin as a servant... In order to deepen the relationship, she gave Yaxin to Zhong Cang, which also shows her true attitude.

Yaxin is a servant, while Zhong Cang is regarded by the two women as a peerless genius and a great sage. In this case, in the minds of the two women, the class status of Zhong Cang and Yaxin is naturally not equal. Therefore, even Yaxin herself has no ambition to become the legal wife.

"...Since it is my master's wish, I will serve Mr. Zhong Cang."

These words made Yayun feel even more melancholy. She reached out and straightened her clothes for her. Yayun said quietly, "Since you have decided to join Zhong Cang, you must change your mindset. From now on, Zhong Cang will be your lover and support, and our Youyun Chamber of Commerce will only be your mother's family. In the future, even if there is a conflict with our Youyun Chamber of Commerce, you must consider Zhong Cang wholeheartedly. Only in this way can you stay by his side for a long time."

"Yes, Master."

"Don't call me Master anymore. From now on, just call me Aunt Yun."

After giving Yaxin a few more instructions, Yayun left. Only Yaxin with a fox tail was left standing quietly in the night.
