Chapter 269 Mother and Daughter
Two days later, they passed by a small market, which did not mainly trade in silk. Zhixia wanted Xunyi to gain experience, so she hid her own cultivation and took him in. This kind of low-level market method The formation had no effect on her, but it still had a great effect on Xun Yi.
After entering the market, Xunyi went straight to several stalls selling silkworm cocoons. These were all small sellers like Jin Rong. They were all dressed in shabby clothes, and the most they could only bring out more than thirty cocoons. , turned around in a circle, and there was not even a single one that caught my eye.
The last stall belonged to a mother and daughter. The woman was quite pretty. She looked to be under thirty years old. She had no jewelry from head to toe. The little girl looked like she was ten years old. They only had seven silkworm cocoons.
Seeing that Xun Yi had no intention of buying, the woman forced a smile, which made her already miserable expression look even more miserable.
The little girl looked at the two of them eagerly and said timidly, "Maybe there is something here that can produce high-quality silk. You two seniors, just buy one. We can't afford the spiritual stones needed to harvest cocoons."
"Ping'er!" The woman scolded softly in displeasure, and then smiled apologetically at the two of them.
Xunyi blinked at the little girl, picked up the seven cocoons and said, "Last time I listened to a child and ended up buying a top-quality one, so I bought them all. How many spiritual stones are there in total?" "
"Three hundred!" The little girl reported the price in surprise.
"Ping'er!" The woman's scolding was softer than the one just now. It was obvious that she really wanted to complete this deal, but she still said to Xun Yi, "A child's words can't be accurate, she just said it casually. "
Xunyi took out three hundred spirit stones and handed them to the little girl, saying, "No one can be sure when it comes to betting on silkworm cocoons. I am willing to believe this little sister once."
The little girl who had just been scolded held the pile of spiritual stones and looked at her mother with nervous eyes.
After hearing what Xun Yi said, the woman bowed gratefully and said, "Thank you two seniors for that."
The little girl excitedly saluted Xunyi and Zhixia, "Thank you big brother, thank you fairy."
After leaving this stall, Xunyi had no intention of visiting the stalls selling other items, and left the market with his senior sister.
After flying into the air, Xunyi asked, "Do I need to hand over the spirit stone when picking cocoons?"
Zhixia said, "Of course, all the areas where silkworm cocoons are produced are in the hands of wealthy families. Most of the income of cocoon pickers is spent on this. Otherwise, how could they be so poor? Just help this mother and daughter once." , there are too many people like this, we can’t help.”
At this time, the mother and son also jumped into the air. After seeing Xun Yi, the little girl waved her hands repeatedly, with a bright smile on her face, as if the three hundred spiritual stones could not only guarantee her a few months of worry-free life, but a lifetime of worry-free life. As if settled.
At this moment, Xun Yi saw that the woman was only in the late stage of Kai Rong, and the little girl was just learning to breathe, so he couldn't help but wave to the two of them.
Zhixia asked with her spiritual mind, "Why did you ask them to come here?"
Xunyi looked at her with pleading eyes and said, "Help them."
Zhixia frowned and said, "I told you, I can't help."
"Now that you have encountered me, please help me. This is the only time. I will never embarrass my senior sister for this kind of thing next time."
Zhixia turned her head to the side to show her attitude.
Xun Yi threatened, "If you don't help, I will accept that girl as my disciple."
At this time, the woman had brought the little girl Ping'er to them. Her eyes were filled with gratitude and humility, while Ping'er's clear eyes were full of joy.
Zhixia looked at Xunyi helplessly, then handed a jade slip to the
The woman said in a calm tone, "Please help me deliver a letter. There is a map in the jade slip, and there is also a sealed spiritual thought. You follow the path marked on the map, and when you arrive at the location, give the jade slip to a man named Yan." Bing, she will give you six hundred spirit stones as a reward."
Seeing Xun Yi frown slightly, Zhi Xia sent a message and said, "We don't have time to deal with them now. Let them pass first. I will search her soul later before I can decide how to deal with them."
After hearing this, Xun Yi took two hundred spirit stones and handed them to the woman, "This is paid in advance, so don't worry, there won't be any trouble."
The woman was a little panicked. She did not dare to refuse Zhixia's instructions, nor did she dare to take Xun Yi's spirit stone. She whispered, "Junior, just go and deliver the letter. Senior does not need to give any reward."
Xunyi put the spirit stone into Ping'er's hand, then smiled and winked at her.
Zhixia said no more and left the mother and daughter with Xunyi.
After getting on Qingluan, Zhixia said calmly, "You gave the spirit stones in advance. If they don't go to Zixiao Palace because of this, don't bother me again."
Xun Yi said, "If they are really that kind of people, they are naturally not worth helping."
Zhixia glanced at him, with a bit of amusement in her eyes. If the junior brother paid two hundred spirit stones in advance to test the woman's character, she could rest assured, because as a junior junior brother, if he has a bad heart, he will be able to do it in the future. I don't know how much trouble it will cause.
On the third day after that, they came to "Nantai Fang City", which is one of the two largest Silkworm City in Puyunzhou and the largest city in the south. The other one is "Lianyunfang City" located in the north of Puyunzhou.
"Nantaibo City" can no longer be called a pure market. It looks more like a prosperous city, with almost all kinds of shops. Of course, shops selling ghost silk-related items are the absolute mainstream. Two lines run through it. Parallel Main Street of East and West
It vaguely shows the appearance of the market when it was first established. The most powerful merchants gathered here, with these two streets as the main trunk, and the less powerful merchants spread out to both sides in turn. The outermost area is the east, west, south, and north four trading areas composed of small merchants without shops.
Looking at this big market that is dozens of times larger than the "Jiyun Market", Xun Yi's eyes shined.
Zhixia asked him to wait outside the magic circle covering the entire market, and flew into the magic circle alone. After a moment, she brought a small yellow jade pendant.
Xunyi took the jade pendant and asked, "What is this?"
Zhixia said, "The array talisman can allow the wearer to maintain the late stage of Kairong cultivation in the array. This is specially prepared for powerful people to prevent them from being harmed. Hide it well. This is a secret. Don't tell outsiders, and don't use spiritual power at will."
Xunyi stuffed the jade pendant into his sleeve, half sighing and half teasing, "You think so carefully about yourself. It's so beautiful to be a powerful person in Puyunzhou."
Zhixia glared at him and said, "Don't take advantage of it. Don't say such sarcastic words in the future."
Xunyi stuck out his tongue.
Zhixia pointed to the tallest building between the two main roads and said, "That's the Fangshi Supervision Office. I will monitor you there in a while. Don't try to play tricks on me!"
"Do you need to treat me like a thief? Now that I have spiritual stones, what tricks can I play?" Xunyi rolled his eyes at her dissatisfiedly.
Zhixia snorted and said, "You have good ideas and many tricks, it's hard not to be on guard. Go ahead, sweep the scattered stalls on the four sides first, and then sweep the two main streets. Be calm and don't rush. Anyway, you can't finish shopping today." At this point, she patted Xunyi on the back and said in a softer tone, "Don't be afraid of anything. I'm here." Xunyi smiled and said, "Senior sister, just rest assured. I won't cause any trouble."
