…
What Wang Shouzhe said was relatively simple, but it was still easier than suddenly coming up with more than ten thousand Top Gold.
In fact, even if he had to earn an extra ten to twenty thousand Top Gold the following year, it was not an easy task. It required careful planning and brainstorming. But the Ancestor must be saved. He didn't want to see the Ancestor sacrifice half of her life to protect the clan, only to die tragically in the end.
Moreover, Ancestor Long Yan was a very strong fighter. Once she recovered her strength, what qualifications did the Liu and Zhao clans have to compete with her?
Thinking of this, Wang Shouzhe bowed and said, "Ancestor, please rest assured. I will handle this matter."
This time, he planned to buy something in Bai Dao Wei. So he brought ten thousand Top Gold notes with him, and his purse was naturally bulging. As for safety, there was no need to worry with the Ancestor accompanying him.
If a situation arose where even the Ancestor couldn't handle it, then he would accept it.
"Wang Shouzhe…" Ancestor Long Yan was full of doubts. In her opinion, Wang Shouzhe's ability to make a lot of money was due to the situation and luck. Such opportunities couldn't come every time.
"For now, Ancestor, please hold off on the plan and wait for me to make a decision after a year. Give me a chance to prove myself, and give yourself a chance to turn things around." Wang Shouzhe was very confident. With his perspective and thinking as a traverser, he would naturally not be slow to make money.
And after a year, the Ancestor would understand it deeply.
Faced with Wang Shouzhe's strong confidence, Ancestor Long Yan finally nodded slowly, agreeing, "But the Turtle Scale Shield is useless to me. I'll sell it and use the resources to support you."
Wang Shouzhe didn't stop this decision. It was the Ancestor's own spiritual weapon, and she had the right to dispose of it. Moreover, Wang Shouzhe didn't think that he wouldn't be able to buy spiritual weapons in the future. At most, he would buy a better one and give it back to the Ancestor.
Since he had convinced the Ancestor, he temporarily bid farewell.
Everyone rested for a night.
Early the next morning, Wang Shouzhe invited Chen Fanghua to come over and take everyone to stroll around Jinsha City. They could relax, and Wang Shouzhe could also examine the overall market of Bai Dao Wei. Even gaining some experience would be good.
Chen Fanghua was very familiar with Jinsha City, and his eloquence was good. He led everyone on a leisurely stroll, occasionally introducing local customs and practices, which made Wang Shouzhe broaden his horizons and feel good. He even bought some sun-dried fish and other snacks for Wang Lici to eat.
Once the girl had something to eat, she forgot all her troubles and was grateful to Wang Shouzhe.
"Wang Young Master, this is the street for scattered cultivators." Chen Fanghua introduced, "Most cities have a street set aside for scattered cultivators to set up stalls. They can earn some stall fees and prevent scattered cultivators from randomly setting up stalls everywhere."
Wang Shouzhe understood. Changning Wei had a similar place. Wang Shouzhe even accidentally picked up a beehive from a scattered cultivator's stall. But picking up bargains at scattered cultivator stalls was a low probability event. It was more likely to be scammed or to spend a lot of money on something of little value.
Those so-called heaven and earth treasures and secret techniques were all hyped up to be amazing. One was more impressive than the other. Wang Shouzhe just casually looked around to broaden his horizons. With his current knowledge, it was almost impossible to pick up a bargain.However, there are many scattered cultivators on Jinsha Island, much more than in Changning Wei City, and their overall strength is generally higher. Along the way, Wang Shouzhe has already seen three or four people whose breath he cannot see through, obviously their cultivation is higher than his. There should be more opportunities near Jinsha Island than in Changning Wei, and more powerful scattered cultivators will come to try their luck.
For people with stronger strength than him, Wang Shouzhe can hardly see through them unless they release their breath.
Suddenly!
Long Yan, who had been silent all along, suddenly stopped and looked at a stall cultivator, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and her body was trembling uncontrollably.
Wang Shouzhe didn't understand what was going on, so he stepped forward and stood between Long Yan and the cultivator, diverting the cultivator's attention and said with a smile, "These pearls of yours are not bad. How much for all of them?"
A major customer!
The cultivator's attention was immediately attracted by Wang Shouzhe, and he introduced, "Young master, these pearls with spiritual energy are all the best materials for the second-grade spirit pill 'Beauty Pill' that I personally picked from the sea clams. There are thirteen of them here, and even if you pay 30 Ganjin, it's worth it."
He saw that Wang Shouzhe was well-dressed and had family members accompanying him, so the cultivator didn't dare to neglect him.
"10 Ganjin." Wang Shouzhe began to haggle over the price, and the stall owner refused to budge. While they were haggling over the price, Wang Shouzhe was puzzled. Long Yan's emotions changed so much that it was clear she had encountered something significant.
Could it be that she found a great bargain at this stall?
While Wang Shouzhe was helping to cover up, he was waiting for Long Yan's instructions or actions.
Long Yan was not an ordinary person after all, and quickly calmed down. Her lips moved slightly under the veil, conveying her meaning to Wang Shouzhe.
The message she conveyed made Wang Shouzhe, even as a transmigrator, slightly stunned, but he controlled his emotions and continued to haggle over the price while thinking about how to proceed.
Haggling over the price is a very normal thing, and for a scattered cultivator, it involves a considerable amount of money.
Soon, Wang Shouzhe came up with a plan, stood up unhappily, and said, "Forget it, I'll go to other places." Then, no matter how the stall owner tried to keep him, Wang Shouzhe led the others out of the scattered cultivator street.
"Brother Chen." Wang Shouzhe arched his hand and said, "My eldest niece and fourth aunt are a bit tired. Could you please take them to the restaurant ahead to eat something delicious? Wang Zhong and Wang Yong, please protect Miss Lici and Mrs. Zhirou."
"Yes." The two family members took their orders.
Chen Fanghua was also a shrewd person. When he heard this, he knew that they were being sent away. Could it be that they found something valuable and didn't want him to see it? He immediately replied, "Master Wang, please rest assured that I will take good care of Miss and Mrs."
Xu Zhirou's eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't say anything. Instead, Wang Lici, upon hearing that they were going to eat something delicious, immediately became eager, and her good impression of Wang Shouzhe increased. "Wuwu~ Lici misunderstood Fourth Uncle. Fourth Uncle really cares about me…"
After everyone left, only Wang Shouzhe and Long Yan were left. They moved to a secluded place, and Wang Shouzhe's face became extremely solemn as he whispered, "Old Ancestor, can you be sure of this?"
"There's no mistake." Long Yan's voice was cold and filled with indescribable hatred. "I've been tortured by this evil aura day and night for fifty years. Not a single strand of Yin Qi can escape my notice."Wang Shouzhe's heart sank as he spoke in a low voice, "Ancestor, the forces from the far west have appeared one after another in our Changning Wei. I'm afraid things aren't that simple. Perhaps there are bigger schemes behind it… If we want revenge, I'm afraid…"
Wang's Clan was too weak. No matter what the other side's intentions were, once they were involved, it would definitely be a situation where they would be crushed to pieces.
Long Yan, the Ancestor, who had deep feelings for the clan, also calmed down and showed a strong sense of helplessness in her eyes. The overall strength was too weak, and they didn't even have the ability to seek revenge.
"Please bear with it for a while, Ancestor. When you recover from your injuries, our Wang's Clan will be much stronger." Wang Shouzhe said solemnly, "We will slowly take revenge for this. But for now, it's feasible to give the Ancestor some relief."
Originally, Long Yan was already disappointed, but when she heard this, her eyes lit up and she asked in a low voice, "What are you planning to do, Shouzhe?"
…
At dusk, the sky was almost dark. The vendors on the street for wandering cultivators began to pack up one after another. The wandering cultivator who sold sea pearls was also preparing to pack up his goods. It was normal for his goods to not sell for a few days.
At this time, a rough and tough man in his thirties or forties with a beard appeared in front of the stall. He waved his hand with an imposing manner and said, "I'll take all these pearls."
At the same time, he "accidentally" revealed a small stack of golden bills. The golden color of the bills was extremely tempting, and each one was obviously a big bill worth 100 Qianjin. At first glance, it would not be less than a few thousand Qianjin.
The wandering cultivator was stunned and his eyes showed a strong greed. For the Xuanwu Clan, which had a foundation, a few thousand Qianjin was already a huge sum of money, let alone for a wandering cultivator.
The subsequent plot was very natural. The wandering cultivator targeted the rough man and warmly invited him to eat and drink. After a few drinks, he found out roughly where the rough man came from. It turned out that he had "made some money" elsewhere and had just come to Baodao Wei for refuge.
After a few rounds of drinking, the two of them became so close that they seemed like sworn brothers. After they were full, the rough man said that he was itching to fight and asked if there was any place to "have fun." The wandering cultivator guaranteed that there was a good place, and after paying the bill, he led the rough man through the streets and alleys.
In the end, they naturally ended up in a very remote and secluded alley, where the "wandering cultivator" revealed his ferocious fangs and, as a peak seventh layer Qi Refining cultivator, he even brought along a sixth layer Qi Refining companion to deal with a small fourth layer Qi Refining cultivator.
Naturally, everything was foolproof.
It was a pity that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
As they greedily and cruelly attacked the "rough man" who was drunk and unconscious, a hazy sword light suddenly appeared silently, and with a sneak attack, it instantly killed the two of them.
Those two guys had no idea that a Spiritual Realm cultivator would use a spirit weapon to ambush them. They didn't even have time to react before they died. The rough man who witnessed all this was drenched in cold sweat and his legs were shaking slightly.
"Ancestor, are you okay?" Wang Shouzhe rushed over from a distance and helped Long Yan, who had slightly irregular breathing. He was weaker than the wandering cultivator and didn't dare to get too close for fear of being discovered.
But he was also secretly shocked. A Spiritual Realm cultivator used a sneak attack to deal with a Qi Refining cultivator. If there were no accidents, the Qi Refining cultivator would definitely be dead."It's okay, I'm fine." Within one or two breaths, Long Yan Ancestor temporarily suppressed the backlash of the poisonous energy in her body. Her eyes were slightly red, obviously letting out a sigh of relief.
"Wang Zhong, quickly gather the spoils of war." Wang Shouzhe ordered Wang Zhong to quickly gather the spoils of war together with him, and then disappeared into the dark alley with the Ancestor.
In a very short period of time, only two corpses were left in the alleyway.
