The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner
Chapter 20 High Consumption
Jiang Yaohua came to the mortal world this time to collect fifty old mountain ginseng roots that were more than a hundred years old.
She collected this in order to exchange it with a third-grade alchemist for a low-grade barrier-breaking pill.
Jiang Yaohua has been stuck at the peak of the sixth level of Qi training for three years. Seeing that it would take a lot of time to improve herself, she set her sights on the Barrier Breaking Pill.
However, Fuyuan City is located in a remote area within the Immortal Mountain, and the alchemists there either lack the necessary ingredients to make the Barrier Breaking Pill, or simply lack the skills to make it. In short, the Barrier Breaking Pill is completely unavailable on the market.
Jiang Yaohua also made inquiries and learned that an alchemist had the Barrier Breaking Pill. When she contacted the alchemist and wanted to pay a high price for it, he asked her to add fifty centenary ginseng roots from the mortal world on top of the original price.
A mountain ginseng that is over a hundred years old may not be of much use to a monk, but for ordinary people, it is a treasure that can save lives at critical moments.
Therefore, many wealthy and powerful people in the mortal world will collect them if they come across them.
The reason why century-old wild ginseng can save lives and a piece of it held in your mouth can keep you alive at a critical moment is because the wild ginseng has been growing in the wild for a long time, and the rhizomes have slowly absorbed and stored a faint spiritual energy.
This spiritual energy can nourish the mortal body without causing the mortal to die from explosion.
The third-grade alchemist in Fuyuan City who had the Barrier Breaking Pill was recently learning to refine a pill recipe that required a century-old ginseng from the mortal world as a medicinal guide. However, he didn't have time to go out to the mortal world to look for it, so he made this deal with Jiang Yaohua.
Jiang Yaohua knew that the wealthy and powerful in the mortal world would not obediently sell their life-saving items just because she was a cultivator. If she asked the merchant to slowly search for the purchase, she would not have the time to wait.
Finally, she catered to their wishes and thought of testing the spiritual roots of those people in exchange for old mountain ginseng.
After spending some spirit stones and renting a spirit-testing plate, he brought his apprentice to this mortal town closest to Fuyuan City.
In order to collect enough old mountain ginseng quickly, Jiang Yaohua finally lowered the test threshold and agreed with City Lord Yan to use a piece of century-old old mountain ginseng to test the two people's bids, and asked him to gather people.
As for City Lord Yan's reward, it was to test the spiritual roots of his five children for free. After all, testing the spiritual roots wouldn't damage the spiritual testing disk, and at most it would waste a little of her spiritual power and consume some of her mental energy.
The first people to come to the City Lord's Mansion to test their descendants were naturally the wealthy businessmen in Lingyun City.
However, they had at least eight, if not ten, children in their families who were suitable for spiritual root testing. However, no one could possibly have ten or eight hundred-year-old ginseng roots in their collection, so these people came to City Lord Yan to discuss the possibility of receiving something else as a reward.
However, nothing in this mortal world caught Jiang Yaohua's eye. She didn't want to waste her time and energy on it, so she hadn't agreed yet.
But now, because Xiao Han became her official apprentice, and this apprentice was so poor that he wore coarse clothes, it was too embarrassing for her. Jiang Yaohua had to lower her status. After testing the two grandsons of a wealthy businessman, she collected an extra hundred taels of gold and tested one more person.
He gave all the 100 taels of gold to Xiao Han and asked her to go to the street to buy some of the best clothes, shoes and socks.
After all, Jiang Wan is still a child at heart and likes to go shopping and play. She immediately pulled Xiao Han to the street to help her pick out clothes.
The first time Xiao Han stepped into the most upscale clothing store in Lingyun City, he saw Jiang Wan bossing the store owner around to bring out the most expensive and best women's clothing. When he saw those clothes made of Yanxia brocade, a top-grade fabric that was as valuable as soft gold, being put on himself, Xiao Han felt that everything was magical.
Somehow, she thought of a joke she had seen on a mobile video website before.
A group of tycoons who have large loans in the bank and are burdened with huge debts are living a life of luxury in high-end clubs.
A group of diligent workers with savings in the bank were eating boxed lunches in a roadside restaurant.
So, has she now reached the level of those big guys?
He shook his head and put aside this ridiculous idea.
Although Jiang Wan looked down on the fragility of the fabrics in the mortal world, she really liked the colors and styles of some fabrics, so she bought a lot of them.
Anyway, the gold cannot be used in the fairy mountain, so it’s better to spend it all.
Xiao Han bought more than twenty sets of clothes for all four seasons, from head to toe and from inside to outside.
Not only did she buy it for herself, she also ordered two sets of dresses made of the most expensive fabrics for Shopkeeper Ding's wife, and also two sets for Nanny Lin in the City Lord's Mansion. She would soon be leaving Lingyun City, and she didn't know if she would have the chance to see Nanny Lin and Shopkeeper Ding again.
She remembered the help these two had given her initially. However, she couldn't repay them with gratitude right now. After all, City Lord Yan hadn't given up on her willingly. What if he felt unhappy and took his anger out on someone too close to her?
Thinking that he would have to buy everything again after going to the fairy mountain, Xiao Han went to buy several quilts and bedding.
Anyway, Jiang Wan said that her master's storage bag is very big, so it can easily hold Xiao Han's things.
What Xiao Han misses most now is the storage bag.
If she could have her own storage bag, she could really go on a shopping spree. Even if things from the mortal world were worthless in the Immortal Mountain, as long as some daily necessities were usable, it would be fine.
Jiang Wan said the storage bag she was wearing was only a foot high and wide, just enough for a change of clothes and essential items. But even such a small storage bag cost over 300 spirit stones.
