The game starts with escaping from the famine and flipping the table

The fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys.

Su Xiaoya and her friends had just set up their stall when they welcomed their first customer.

The person who came forward to ask the question was a middle-aged man dressed in a pharmacy uniform.

He picked up a box of Dew Grass, his fingertips brushing against the leaves, a glint of light flashing in his eyes: "Young lady, your Dew Grass is rich in spiritual energy and of excellent quality. How much?"

Su Xiaoya had already heard Zhao Peng mention the market price, so she calmly replied, "Uncle, this box of ten Dew-Condensing Grasses will cost twenty low-grade spirit stones; five Green-Patterned Grasses will cost one low-grade spirit stone; and three Awakening Flowers will cost two low-grade spirit stones."

Her elixirs were of exceptional quality, and although the price was slightly higher than others, it was still reasonable.

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and nodded: "The quality is indeed good. Give me two boxes of Dew-Gathering Grass and twenty Green-Patterned Grasses. They'll be perfect for the alchemists in the shop when I get back."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man took out fifty low-grade spirit stones and handed them to Su Xiaoya.

This was her first sale, and Su Xiaoya was overjoyed. She quickly packed up the medicinal herbs, handed them over with both hands, and gave a slight smile: "Thank you for your patronage, Uncle."

Lin Hu and the others were happy for her. Chen Yan said with a smile, "Little girl, see? I told you your elixir would be in high demand."

In the following hours, people came in droves to inquire about prices. There were acquaintances from Qingxi Town, merchants from other places, and several intelligent rabbit demons and squirrel spirits who brought spirit fruits and animal skins, wanting to exchange them for spirit medicines with Su Xiaoya.

Su Xiaoya was gentle by nature and knew that the spirits were not good at exchanging spirit stones, so she followed the rule of equivalent exchange and exchanged a few green-veined grasses for a basket of bright red fire spirit fruits from the squirrel spirit, and exchanged a refreshing flower for a soft spirit rabbit skin from the rabbit demon. The fire spirit fruits were sweet, crisp and juicy, and the spirit rabbit skin was warm, soft and breathable, both of which were rare and good things.

Just as Su Xiaoya was busy trading with a little rabbit demon, she heard soft footsteps behind her, accompanied by a clear whisper full of curiosity: "Wow, these spiritual herbs are so spiritual, even better than the ones we picked in the forest."

Su Xiaoya turned around and saw three petite elves standing behind her.

They were about half a person tall, with skin as white and smooth as jade, radiating a faint glow.

Its pointed ears, tinged with a faint pink, resemble nature's most exquisitely crafted works of art.

His eyes were a clear emerald green, like the purest jade, crystal clear, sparkling with a lively light, as if they could see through the mysteries of all things in the world.

Their long hair cascaded down like vines, gently brushing the ground, adorned with tiny wildflowers like scattered stars, exuding a captivating fragrance.

It has two pairs of transparent, thin wings on its back, as thin as cicada wings, with patterns on the wings as clear as leaf veins. When it flutters gently, it carries a faint fragrance of grass and trees, as if it is one with nature.

They were surrounded by pure wood-elemental spiritual energy, which rose like wisps of smoke, adding a mysterious and ethereal aura to their figures.

These three fairies are like messengers from a fairyland; their beauty and ethereal quality are intoxicating, as if one were in a dreamlike world.

This was the first time Su Xiaoya had ever seen elves. Their appearance was exquisite and lively, exuding a natural aura, which made her feel inexplicably close to them.

She stopped what she was doing and, like a gentle breeze in spring, softly asked, "Hello, are you here to buy spirit herbs?"

The lead elf blinked her emerald-green eyes and smiled shyly, like a spring flower in bloom. Her voice was as clear as a bird's song in the forest: "Hello, my name is Eileen, and these are my sisters, Aya and Ellu."

"We are wood elves from the Misty Forest, living in treehouses deep within the forest. We wish to find some calming herbs to heal our wounded companions, but we have no spirit stones, only these spirit crystals and nectar. Would it be possible to exchange them with you?"

After speaking, Eileen took out a small and exquisite jade bottle from her bosom. The bottle was filled with golden honey, which had a rich and mellow fragrance, like a fine nectar. There were also a few crystal clear green spirit crystals, which shimmered with pure wood-type spiritual energy, just like twinkling stars.

Chen Yan moved to Su Xiaoya's side and lowered his voice to remind her, "Xiaoya, these are wood spirits. They have an extremely high talent for cultivating plants and trees. They are pure and kind-hearted and never fight with people. Their nectar is made from century-old spiritual flowers, and their spirit crystals are also made from wood-type essence, making them extremely precious."

Su Xiaoya nodded in acknowledgment. She had never intended to take their spirit stones. Seeing the eagerness in Eileen's eyes, she smiled and said softly, "Of course you can. Tranquilizing grass is a good medicine for healing. You can have as much as you need. There is no need to exchange it for something so precious."

Eileen shook her head firmly and said solemnly, "Absolutely not. We elves value fairness the most. Your spirit herbs are so outstanding, they must have taken a lot of your effort. These nectars and spirit crystals are the most precious items we can offer. You must accept them."

After saying that, Eileen gently placed the jade bottle and spirit crystal into Su Xiaoya's hands. Aiya and Ailu nodded frequently, their emerald green eyes seemingly sparkling with determination.

Su Xiaoya couldn't refuse their kind offer and had no choice but to accept it.

She took out a large handful of Tranquilizing Grass from the bamboo basket, more than thirty plants, each one as green as jade, with thick leaves and abundant spiritual energy, like a dazzling pearl, and handed them to Eileen: "These are all for you, they should be enough to heal your friends. If not, come find me again."

Eileen held the calming herb in her hands, her eyes sparkling with gratitude, like emerald gems, dazzlingly bright.

"Thank you, you are as kind as an angel! We wood elves know plants and trees like the back of our hand, and we can clearly feel the pure natural aura emanating from you. You are very close to us. If you ever venture into the depths of the Misty Forest, you must come and play with us. We will take you to see the spirit flowers that have been blooming for hundreds of years and pick the sweetest fruits for you!"

Aya chimed in, "Yes, yes, we can also play leaf flutes and play beautiful melodies for you!"

Ailu smiled shyly, like a blooming water lily, and handed a small blue flower to Su Xiaoya.

The flowers were crystal clear, as dazzling as sapphires, and emitted a faint fragrance.

"I'm giving you this flower. Wearing it will not only repel insects, but also refresh your mind and body."

Su Xiaoya took the flower and gently pinned it to her lapel. Its delicate fragrance lingered in her nostrils like wisps of smoke, making her feel refreshed and relaxed.

She chatted happily with the Eileen sisters and learned that the wood elves have lived in the Misty Forest for generations, protecting the plants and trees in the forest, and are as close as brothers to the Tree Spirit.

They can understand the whispers of plants and trees, sense the flow of spiritual energy in the forest, and like Su Xiaoya, have an innate affinity for nature.

Su Xiaoya also told them about her experience in planting herbs and her amazing ability to communicate with flowers and plants.

The Eileen sisters listened with rapt attention, feeling an increasing affinity with her. The more they talked, the more they clicked, as if they were long-lost friends.

Lin Hu, Chen Yan, and Zhao Peng watched Su Xiaoya chatting and laughing with the elves, all with smiles on their faces, and did not go forward to disturb them.

Zhao Peng joked, "Little girl is really amazing. She made such a special friend as soon as she arrived. Now we'll have a strong support system when we come to the market again."

Lin Hu nodded in agreement: "The elves are gentle and kind, and they get along well with Xiaoya. That's wonderful."
