Carrying the identifier from the interstellar to the world of immortal cultivation
Chapter 17: The Fan Family
The three of them walked in the Fengxie Forest. On both sides were stalls, some simple and some slightly more elegant. Some of the stalls had wooden boards or cloth banners with the items for sale or purchase written on them, while some stalls only had a table with some things on it, such as porcelain bottles or talismans. Some stalls did not even have a table, and the items were just placed on the open ground. People were either sitting cross-legged behind the stalls with their eyes closed, concentrating, or leaning against the tree next to the stalls, talking to the stall owner next to them.
In short, the night market of Jinling Sect is simple but not messy, and noisy but not chaotic.
As he walked along, Sui An discovered another thing. Most of the stall owners hung one or several lanterns on the nearest tree for lighting, but above a few stalls, there was a crystal clear round bead floating, emitting a faint and lustrous light. Although the light was very faint, it could illuminate the stalls and the surroundings clearly without being glaring.
This kind of beads was not the first time Sui An had seen them. She had seen them on the first day she woke up in this world.
"what is that?"
Shu Yeyu followed Sui An's gaze and said, "That's a Moon-Collecting Stone. You can use it when walking at night. It gives clear light, but it's also easy to be spotted. It's quite expensive. The smallest one costs dozens of spirit stones each."
Sui An nodded. "If it only has the lighting function, besides the lamp and this Moonstone, are there any other more cost-effective alternatives?"
"A more cost-effective alternative?" Xue Qin repeated, praising, "That's a great word. There are fireflies, and you can buy one for just a few spirit stones. But they come in all sorts of shapes, and they can't levitate on their own."
Good, I learned another knowledge point.
After walking nearly halfway through the night market, the three of them finally saw a food stall.
There were quite a few people gathered around the stall, but after watching for a while, Sui An found that only two people actually paid with spirit stones to buy anything. There were three kinds of food sold on the stall. One was barbecue, and he didn't know what kind of meat it was, but he could identify the spiritual energy in the food. One was soup, and the last one was the most pleasing to the eye. It was a cloud-shaped high point called Zi Li Juanyun Cake. Although he had never tasted it, it looked very soft, glutinous, and sweet.
Since coming to Yunchuan, she has never eaten such a sweet snack.
Although the barbecue looked delicious, Sui An decided to buy two pieces of the purple cloud cake to try first. If she had some money left, she would buy the barbecue. As for the soup, she didn't think about it because she didn't like soup very much.
"This costs three spirit stones per piece. Senior sister, would you like one?" The stall owners were a brother and sister who looked to be in their twenties. Seeing Sui An staring at the purple cloud cake on the stall for a long time, the sister asked.
"Give me three...two pieces!" Sui An said.
"Okay!" The younger sister responded readily. The older brother quickly packed two dim sum and instructed, "Junior sister, these dim sum are spiritual food. If you want to fill your stomach, just one piece will last you two to three days. If you like it, you can eat a few more pieces without affecting your cultivation."
"Not only will it have no impact, it will also be beneficial to the circulation of spiritual energy." My sister continued.
"Even though I say that, Junior Sister, you can't eat too much at once. Too much will cause a disturbance in your spiritual energy."
"How much is too much?" Sui An asked.
"Probably over a hundred yuan!" the male stall owner answered casually.
Sui An looked at the two lonely dim sum in his hand, then glanced at the stall owner opposite who was in the late stage of Qi Refining, and said soothingly: "Brother, don't worry. I probably can't afford to buy more than a hundred pieces of rolling cloud cake."
Male stall owner: ...
Female stall owner: glared at her brother.
Fortunately, Shu Yeyu spoke up in time to relieve their embarrassment.
"Follow Junior Sister!"
Shu Yeyu called out to them from the stall diagonally opposite.
Sui An had already paid the spirit stones and nodded to the two stall owners. He said to Xue Qin, who was still struggling to decide which spirit food to choose, "Senior Sister Xue, I'll go check with Senior Sister Shu."
Xue Qin nodded at her casually and continued to struggle.
"Hey, Senior Sister Sui, you're amazing! You've already reached the fifth level of Qi Refining in just two months!"
It turned out that the owner of the stall where Shu Yeyu was working was actually Fan Qiongzhi. During Sui An's retreat, she went to Wutong Cottage to look for her several times. Although she failed to meet Sui An in person, she got to know everyone in Wutong Cottage, except Rong Yuzhong who was still on a mission outside.
"Junior Sister Fan, are you setting up a stall too?" Sui An was very happy to see Fan Qiongzhi. She couldn't help but look at her stall and found that the not-so-big table was divided into two clearly defined areas.
Half of it was selling some spiritual plants and... Sui An could hardly recognize those things, and the other half was filled with two daggers and a pair of things that looked like bird wings with somewhat exaggerated shapes. The front half of the wings were colorful, and the back half seemed to have suddenly lost its paint. There was no transition, and the exaggerated colors stopped abruptly and became transparent.
Sui An saw that there were several gray purses placed under the transparent wings.
"This is a storage bag, the lowest quality kind. It can't hold much."
As he was watching, a slightly childish voice was heard. When Sui Anchu heard it, he thought it was Sui Dong speaking.
But she immediately knew that it was not the case, because she had already seen the young boy sitting behind half of the stall.
The young boy was not tall and was sitting. Sui An's attention was half on chatting with Fan Qiongzhi and half on observing the various objects on the stall, so he naturally ignored the young boy who was sitting behind the table, almost motionless.
The young boy has some cultivation and is at the fourth level of Qi Refining.
"Are you...Junior Brother Fan?" Sui An asked. He looked somewhat like Fan Qiongzhi.
The young boy nodded, "Senior Sister Sui wants a storage bag?"
Sui An naturally wanted it, "How many spirit stones are there?"
"One hundred and twenty dollars."
“It’s so cheap!”
“It’s so expensive!”
Xue Qin was holding a skewer of barbecue, eating while walking, looking, and as soon as he arrived, he heard Sui An and the stall owner talking about storage bags. When he heard the price quoted by the stall owner, Xue Qin couldn't help but exclaim that it was a bargain.
One hundred and twenty spirit stones, for Sui An, whose total net worth is only twenty-five spirit stones, no, after deducting the six spirit stones she just spent on the rolling cloud cake, she only has nineteen spirit stones now, so she naturally feels it is very expensive.
The two spoke almost at the same time, but their opinions were completely opposite.
"Junior Brother Fan, is this storage bag really only worth 120 spirit stones?"
After reacting, Xue Qin immediately asked.
Fan Tuo glanced at the storage bag hanging on Xue Qin's waist, then looked at Sui An and said, "Senior Sister Sui will buy 120 spirit stones, and the others will buy 180 spirit stones."
Sui An was stunned.
Xue Qin looked at Sui An, then at the young stall owner, "Do you know each other?"
"I don't know him." Fan Tuo still looked mature despite his youth.
Fan Qiongzhi couldn't help but tap her brother's forehead. "Don't be so harsh when you speak. Although you haven't met Senior Sister Sui, you've heard of her from me a long time ago. How do you say that? We've been friends for a long time, so of course we know each other."
