CHAPTER 1379: CHAPTER 829

He didn’t care; the tea he drank during the previous meal was far superior to this tea!

Eryao also wore a disdainful expression, not glancing at that cup of tea, nor at the pastries and fruits!

He wanted to eat pastries; the pastries made by the Green Ox were much tastier!

The fruits in the space had far more spiritual energy than these spirit fruits!

The shopkeeper noticed the two young masters weren’t drinking tea, nor eating pastries, nor eating fruit, looked a bit dejected, but it was only for a moment before his eyes blinked; with a thick skin, he said to them:

"Honorable young masters, may I ask if you are looking to purchase spirit grass, pills, or sell spirit grass, pills?"

Eryao scrutinized the shopkeeper in front of him, roughly middle-aged, couldn’t tell his exact age, square-faced, small-eyed, with a mustache, looking very shrewd.

The man was about 1.7 meters tall, not particularly tall, and his skin wasn’t very fair, just an ordinary appearance.

Being so polite to them, he must have some ulterior motive!

That’s just how cunning people in business are.

"I have spirit grass for sale, and pills for sale!"

After Eryao spoke, the shopkeeper’s eyes filled with delight as he placed a storage bag on the table!

The shopkeeper wasn’t surprised they were selling things, assuming they weren’t short of money despite these noble young masters might not lack money!

He had seen all kinds of people; some nobles would have their unnecessary items sold off by their subordinates.

Perhaps, in this shop we could exchange for some items they can use!

Although their shop buys, sells, and acts as an agent for selling and buying.

After all, it’s a sect’s industry, and their business and employees are linked!

The more they sell, the more good things they get as rewards!

The two prestigious young men were somewhat unfamiliar, and he guessed they must be sons of some noble clan.

They appeared around 20 years old; to have such cultivation at a young age and still carry such noble aura,

they must be from either a powerful family or noble young masters with influence!

The shopkeeper didn’t think these young masters were from the royal family!

In the cultivation world, even a king’s son might not have as much prestige as those noble young masters.

The king only governs the commoners, and as for some of their aristocratic clans, they are of no use!

Though they do pay taxes, they wouldn’t bow down to official power.

After all, they have backing; in the cultivation world, where the strong are revered, even kings fear sects’ existence.

The shopkeeper quickly opened the storage bag, finding it wasn’t sealed with divine sense; inside, there was a mountain of medicinal herbs, along with jars and bottles of healing medicine, spirit supplement pills.

Finding so many herbs, from surprise to delight, then to a trembling body!

He had never seen anyone put so much spirit grass, so many pills into a storage bag!

Even their sect, with so many spirit fields for growing herbs, couldn’t harvest that much spirit grass at once, especially ones that are already processed!

The sect’s land, besides growing grain and medicinal herbs, has many other uses!

Moreover, tasks in their sect, making pills, it’s not that easy to form pills; there are always consumables!

These shops not only sell but also buy, because some of their sect disciples need herbs and pills the sect hasn’t grown.

Some medicinal herbs require very specific places to grow, some love heat, some love cold, and some must be in wet areas.

Disciples from the sect also go outside to do tasks; the herbs they obtain can be exchanged for some pills!

Their advanced cultivators don’t need some of the pills inside, requiring advanced pills that aren’t in this storage bag; however, the spirit grass is what they need!

"Honorable young masters, you’ve given me a surprise; I’ll have someone count these pills and herbs!"

The shopkeeper pondered that while others sell one by one, this is selling by the pound; when can we finish counting?

Eryao waved his hand, having casually placed the herbs in the storage bag, he didn’t exactly know how much spirit grass was in there?

Nor how many pills there were, as they were casually packed after refining.

Jiang Tang whispered to Eryao, "How much are you planning to sell? We won’t waste a lot of time, right?"

Eryao agreed that wasting too much time here wouldn’t do.

Thus he suggested the shopkeeper quickly weigh the spirit grass by the pound, the pills by quantity, and they only wanted supreme spirit stones.

The shopkeeper agreed happily and then left the private room, thinking to himself; indeed, these noble young masters have so many herbs?

With piles of items, the herbal medicines sold by the pound vary in value, some expensive, others cheaper, and when weighed by the pound, we also need to categorize them!

So many pill bottles and jars inside!

The shopkeeper thought that expecting the shop employees to quickly count so many medicinal herbs was impossible, and would have to be assigned to sect disciples.

A task had to be swiftly published, and he personally gave the storage bag to an employee, asking him to deliver it to the sect and complete the task quickly!

Originally, purchasing resources was not their shop’s responsibility!

Their shop never received so much in bulk like a warehouse!

Many precious herbs are hard to come by, where would so many come from?

This was the first time he realized that such precious herbs were stacked like sand!

This isn’t grain, casually placed in a storage bag, unlike how they would use boxes to carefully pack one by one!

Indeed, the young masters, even a casual move can be surprising!

Such an amount of herbs and pills cost a lot, even if paid with supreme spirit stones!

However, as part of the major sect, even the low-level disciples need some pills, and some advanced pills are needed too!

Some rare herbs are even more needed!

The shopkeeper regretted not keeping some of the herbs and pills he needed privately!

He could buy them himself!

Now it’s too late to regret; the task has been given to the sect, though it’s his guests and the business belongs to him, getting what he wants if buying from the sect would be much more expensive!

Now there’s no other way but to hope the guests have more good things to sell!

The shopkeeper thus thought and re-entered the private room, personally attending to the two young masters again!

Jiang Tang in the private room casually chatted with Eryao; seeing the shopkeeper return, they didn’t stop.

Neither of them would probe the shopkeeper for information, lest others think they’re bumpkins or outsiders.

They needed to maintain a sense of mystery!

Just by using divine weave, they could eavesdrop on some conversations and uncover some details.

The shopkeeper didn’t interrupt their chat, quietly standing aside until they paused before explaining that the variety of herbs in the storage bag needed verification!

People were needed to count those pills, some of those herbs were precious and couldn’t be all weighed together but needed categorization.

Eryao glanced at the shopkeeper; for them cultivators, categorizing herbs wasn’t difficult, and they could even practice spells!

The reason he piled so many herbs together without categorizing them was because, after all, they were herbs to sell, and he didn’t need that many for cultivation.

It was deliberately made to make them work more!

"How long will it take? You’re not taking my stuff elsewhere, right?"

Eryao naturally knew the whispers by the shopkeeper at the door, handing the items to an employee!

He wasn’t afraid of the shop pulling any tricks; they wouldn’t dare even with a hundred guts!

If anyone dared to misbehave, let them taste a thunderstrike!

Jiang Tang, not wanting to drink the tea here and finding it boring to wait, gave a signal to Eryao, prompting him to take out a teacup, fruits, and pastries, and snacks the Green Ox often made, eating and chatting at the same time!
