Given his considerable amount of spirit stones, Chen Mobai felt that the puppet robot was overpriced.
Moreover, it was easy for him to earn spirit stones, but Good Deeds were a different matter – the more he used, the less he had.
The main reason, however, was that the demand for Red Sun firewood from the New Sprout Hall was limited. Those willing to spend spirit stones to purchase it were probably only Liu Wenbo, the Luo siblings, and Fish Lian, a total of four people.
After all, the independent cultivators in the Tianhe Realm could hardly save many spirit stones. Any resources they had would be immediately exchanged for magical tools or talismans to enhance their combat power.
After a period of hard work, Chen Mobai estimated that he could stop the firewood business once he had earned the spirit stones from these four people.
After calculating the expected income, he felt that it was not worth investing a hundred thousand Good Deeds to buy a wood-cutting puppet.
He then checked the “Formless Puppet”.
However, the Immortal Gate network directly showed that there was no such thing.
As expected of the pinnacle of puppetry, there was none for sale on the market.
In the evening, Chen Mobai, who had teleported back to the Tianhe Realm, showed his face.
Fish Lian came directly to his door.
“Next time, sell the Red Sun firewood to me.”
His tone was calm, but he left no room for discussion, which made Chen Mobai frown.
Why were the cultivators in the Tianhe Realm so aggressive?
If things didn’t go their way, they would start showing their displeasure.
Luo Yixiu was like this, and so was Fish Lian.
“Let’s see. I don’t know if that senior still needs to chop wood for sword practice,” Chen Mobai said lazily. Fish Lian directly took out a bag of spirit stones and left.
“We don’t need a deposit here.”
Holding the bag of spirit stones and stepping out, he found that Fish Lian had already disappeared.
Chen Mobai was a bit baffled by his forceful buying behavior. He weighed the bag and was slightly surprised.
There were actually 100 lower-grade spirit stones.
According to the market price of one spirit stone for 500 pieces of Red Sun firewood, this could buy fifty thousand pieces, which was basically double the price.
Was the small sect he inherited so wealthy?
Chen Mobai was a bit confused. Shi Pengyi and Luo Lin, who were in his team on Qingguang Island, were also direct disciples of small sects, but their combined wealth was only a flying sword.
Did Fish Lian have a protagonist template and other opportunities?
Just as he was lost in thought, a beautiful woman in palace dress with fair skin came to the door.
“Is Brother Chen here? Luo Yixuan pays her respects.”
My door is open, and you can see me directly from the door. Why are you asking if I’m here?
Chen Mobai was speechless at Luo Yixuan. Perhaps it was a rule in their cultivation family.
“Come in.”
After Luo Yixuan sat down, she first apologized for Luo Yixiu’s previous behavior, then got straight to the point, wanting to purchase enough Red Sun firewood for her and her brother to use for the next two months.
“I won’t hide it from you, sister. Fish Lian just dropped this big bag of spirit stones and has already reserved the next thirty thousand pieces of Red Sun firewood from that senior. You may have to wait until after him.”
Although he didn’t like the forceful buying behavior, holding the heavy bag of spirit stones in his hand, Chen Mobai chose to forgive Fish Lian.
He couldn’t be at odds with spirit stones.
“Brother, you can take a look at our price first.”
Luo Yixuan also took out a bag of spirit stones with a smile. Chen Mobai didn’t take it, but seeing the bulging bag, he estimated that there were also about a hundred pieces.
“Sister, there’s always a first come, first served rule in everything.”
He still wanted to maintain some dignity, after all, he was a businessman with principles.
“Brother, you can be fair to everyone. For example, like Brother Liu, you can give us each ten thousand pieces of Red Sun firewood first. As for the rest, within a month, I believe Brother Chen should be able to slowly gather the quantity.”
Luo Yixuan’s words hit the nail on the head.
“Sister, you make a good point.”
Once he heard it, it was simple.
After Chen Mobai took Luo Yixuan’s bag of spirit stones, he personally saw her out of the room, then energetically went out to chop wood.
But this time, he found that there were as many as twelve people following him.
On the way, he took detours, and by the time he was close to the tree hole where he hid his electric saw, there were still six people following him.
Chen Mobai was not blinded by the spirit stones and chose to give up, returning to the New Sprout Hall.
“Brother Chen.”
Liu Wenbo greeted him at the door.
“That senior didn’t come out to chop wood today.”
Chen Mobai misunderstood, thinking that Liu Wenbo also wanted to buy Red Sun firewood.
“This is my respect for that senior. Please help me pass it on.”
Liu Wenbo also handed a bag of spirit stones to Chen Mobai, who weighed it and found that it was also a hundred pieces.
But after hearing his words, Chen Mobai finally understood why Fish Lian and Luo Yixuan were so willing.
It turned out that in their hearts, these spirit stones were not for him, but for the senior who he had made up.
“I’ve accepted theirs on behalf of the senior, but I don’t need yours.”
Although Chen Mobai liked spirit stones, he was unwilling to accept Liu Wenbo’s. After all, he still remembered the favor of the Immortality Scripture that the latter had given him.
Liu Wenbo wanted to say more, but Chen Mobai had already knocked on Yuan Chiyi’s door.
“Come in.”
Seeing Chen Mobai enter Yuan Chiyi’s room, Liu Wenbo couldn’t follow, so he could only take the bag of spirit stones and leave.
“Which elder did you run into? Why don’t I have such luck?”
Yuan Chiyi looked at Chen Mobai walking in, his tone very sour.
“Maybe because I’m poorer.”Chen Mobai said self-mockingly, then took out the bag of spirit stones given by Yulian and handed it to Yuan Chiyi.
“What do you mean?”
Although Yuan Chiyi was heavily in debt for the exchange of Foundation Establishment pills, he was not dazzled by the bag of spirit stones. He asked calmly.
“Didn’t Senior Brother Yuan say that you have an extra storage bag? I’ve always wanted one. Now that I have some spirit stones, I want to buy yours.”
Upon hearing Chen Mobai’s words, Yuan Chiyi’s face showed a hint of understanding. He laughed and accepted the bag of spirit stones.
“I keep my word. I’ll sell it to you for eighty spirit stones. There are a hundred in here, you take back twenty.”
Yuan Chiyi took out a sky-blue sealed brocade bag from his storage bag, about the size of a palm.
“These twenty, however, I need Senior Brother Yuan to turn a blind eye.”
After receiving the storage bag, Chen Mobai did not take back the spirit stones. Instead, he said something that made Yuan Chiyi squint his eyes: “Explain.”
“Our Red Sun firewood is hard-earned and chopped every day, what do you think, Senior Brother?”
Although Liu Wenbo and the Luo siblings had previously bought the deficit Red Sun firewood from the Earth Fire Hall and gave it to Yuan Chiyi, the latter pretended not to know. But now, if the source of the Red Sun firewood was from Chen Mobai, his attitude was unclear.
Chen Mobai felt it was necessary to come over and smooth things over.
Moreover, he didn’t know when he could crack the storage bag he got from Qingguang Island. There might be some problems with its origin, so it was just right to buy Yuan Chiyi’s in advance as a cover.
“You little rascal, your way of doing things really has the style of Senior Brother Zhou. Don’t worry, even if you don’t say it, I won’t risk offending the Foundation Establishment elders to obstruct you.”
After smoothing things over with Yuan Chiyi, Chen Mobai felt relieved.
After confirming that no one was following him late at night, he started chopping wood laboriously again.
However, this time after chopping, he could directly put the electric saw and the saw table back into the newly bought storage bag, without worrying about exposure.
