Selling Spirit Fish at the Qinghe Market is rare. Occasionally, a Loose Cultivator might get lucky and catch so Spirit Fish to sell, supplenting their earnings, but such occurrences are uncommon.
Now, the Cyan Mountain Sect has Spirit Fish for sale, including the rare Cyan-tailed Spirit Fish, which naturally has great allure.
From the early morning of the next day, after this batch of Spirit Fish started selling, many Loose Cultivators ca to inquire about the price.
The Loose Cultivators at the market, although richer than those impoverished Loose Cultivators outside, possess so Spirit Stones, enabling them to purchase a few Spirit Talismans and Magical Artifacts, ensuring their lives are not too strained.
But they’re not as wealthy as family offspring or Sect Cultivators, so they must live and cultivate frugally.
Upon hearing that Cyan-tailed Spirit Fish are selling at four Spirit Stones each, they imdiately shook their heads and sighed, thinking it best to abandon the pursuit of culinary desires, reluctantly leaving.
Thus passed the morning with dozens of Loose Cultivators inquiring about the price, but only two or three showed interest in purchasing.
After selling three Cyan-tailed Spirit Fish, by afternoon, a Loose Cultivator ca to ask, offering to buy the remaining forty-seven Cyan-tailed Spirit Fish for 141 Spirit Stones.
Xu Yecheng naturally refused.
Originally, four Spirit Stones for one Cyan-tailed Spirit Fish was already a discounted price.
Now wanting to purchase forty-seven Spirit Fish for 141 Spirit Stones altogether, it calculates to only three Spirit Stones per fish, cutting 47 Spirit Stones off the deal.
This is absolutely unacceptable.
Cyan Mountain Residence’s yearly earnings barely reach 50 Spirit Stones. Xu Yecheng wouldn’t willingly forfeit these Spirit Stones.
Lacking willingness, the deal couldn’t be completed.
Initially thinking that after the Loose Cultivator left, they wouldn’t return, and the shop could wait for other custors, selling Spirit Fish at four Spirit Stones each, selling whatever amount possible.
But unexpectedly, after rejecting the Loose Cultivator’s proposal, throughout the entire afternoon, less than three Loose Cultivators ca to inquire.
Under Xu Yecheng’s watchful eye, he discovered that so Loose Cultivators initially planned to ask about the Cyan-tailed Spirit Fish, but upon seeing the shop bearing the Cyan Mountain Residence’s na, they promptly turned away.
If encountering one or two like this occasionally, it’s normal, but throughout the afternoon, Xu Yecheng noticed this behavior frequently occurred, with over ten Loose Cultivators reacting similarly.
There’s no way Cyan Mountain Residence has such a bad reputation.
Despite offering limited goods with lower tiers, they’re all authentic products without deception, rarely inflating prices.
Always conducting business with integrity, Cyan Mountain Residence does have a reputation.
But why is this happening?
When sothing unusual occurs, there’s often an underlying reason.
With this question in mind, until he caught another young Loose Cultivator about to ask pricing, upon realizing the shop was Cyan Mountain Residence, the Loose Cultivator attempted to leave. Xu Yecheng couldn’t help but pull him back, asking, ’Why leave upon seeing Cyan Mountain Residence?’ and similar questions.
The young Loose Cultivator hesitated, reluctant to respond, but after Xu Yecheng discreetly slipped him a Spirit Stone, the other party imdiately provided the answer.
It turned out that Hengyue Sect was causing trouble.
Since the morning, having witnessed Cyan Mountain Sect begin selling Cyan-tailed Spirit Fish with seemingly good business, two disciples from Hengyue Sect started scheming, spreading rumors that Cyan Mountain Residence’s Cyan-tailed Spirit Fish were problematic, resulting in illnesses, blocking ridians, and hindering cultivation after consumption.
Overall, buying Cyan-tailed Spirit Fish from Cyan Mountain Residence would definitely cause issues, so it’s best not to buy.
The idea was to disgust and disrupt business.
These Loose Cultivators, originally cautious with their expenses and reluctant to spend on a gourt Cyan-tailed Spirit Fish, now hearing such rumors, unsure if genuine or false, decided not to risk it and preserve their four Spirit Stones.
Simply remaining curious and deciding not to purchase.
Discovering the reason, having sent the young Loose Cultivator away, Xu Yecheng’s face turned grim.
He reported the matter to Qian Yingcai, who, upon hearing, imdiately rolled up his sleeves, ready to confront the two obnoxious Hengyue Sect cultivators.
But if not for the market rules, he’d be tempted to unleash his Flying Sword, slaughtering those two abhorrent cultivators.
Is spreading random rumors disgustingly vile?
Calming down, the two discussed, realizing the matter required careful handling, addressing the rumors first.
The following day, while they comnced their plan, they spotted the two Hengyue Sect cultivators sneaking around, delightfully observing the few remaining Cyan-tailed Spirit Fish, evidently pleased that few were sold.
But unexpectedly, the situation took a surprising turn.
As the Spirit Fish continued selling today, within less than an Hour, a young cultivator claiming to be from Datong Comrce Association saw the Cyan-tailed Spirit Fish, glanced at Cyan Mountain Residence, learned about its affiliation with Cyan Mountain Sect, and sparked significant interest in Cyan-tailed Spirit Fish.
After inquiring about the price, the young cultivator expressed willingness to buy all the Spirit Fish.
"A total of forty-seven Cyan-tailed Spirit Fish, at four Spirit Stones each, here are 188 Spirit Stones."
"These Spirit Fish, Datong Comrce Association will take them."
Zhang Sihong smiled slightly, not bargaining, readily placing the order.
This left Xu Yecheng and Qian Yingcai stunned.
Never anticipating encountering such a straightforward individual.
The two hadn’t yet introduced Cyan-tailed Spirit Fish’s benefits, nor had they countered recent rumors.
"Friend, in recent days, rumors spread throughout the market claiming problems with Cyan Mountain Residence’s Spirit Fish, pure nonsense..."
As Xu Yecheng began explaining, Zhang Sihong gestured dismissively.
"I’m aware of these rumors, but rumors cease with the wise."
Clearly, he didn’t believe the rumors.
"I trust Cyan Mountain Sect’s reputation isn’t one to damage store renown for re Spirit Stones."
"Moreover, this batch of Cyan-tailed Spirit Fish appears healthy without abnormalities. After returning to the Comrce Association, we have specialized Spirit Chefs conducting ingredient inspections, so proceed with the sale."
With words spoken to this extent, what more could Xu Yecheng say? Naturally, he agreed to the transaction.
Zhang Sihong’s offer was genuinely sincere, exactly the kind of buyer Cyan Mountain Residence favored.
"Friend, very straightforward."
"This transaction, Cyan Mountain Residence shall complete with you."
"Alright then, these are 188 Spirit Stones, confirm the amount."
In less than a quarter-hour, the deal concluded imdiately by both parties.
Xu Yecheng reminded them concerning Cyan-tailed Spirit Fish’s storage precautions, facilitating Datong Comrce Association’s usage.
Before departing, Zhang Sihong rembered to say, "Please greet Senior Sister Song, Zhang Nianchuan, Chu Qin, and Lin Han for whenever you et. I’m Zhang Sihong from Datong Comrce Association."
"The kindness from the Yanhuang Desert remains etched in my mind, never forgotten."
Over at Cyan Mountain Residence, seeing the Cyan-tailed Spirit Fish sold in bulk, earning Spirit Stones without loss, Xu Yecheng and Qian Yingcai were ecstatic.
They silently noted Zhang Sihong’s parting words.
It seems Senior Sister Song and the others once shared experiences with cultivator Zhang Sihong, forming a favorable relationship.
anwhile, witnessing the sudden sale of Cyan-tailed Spirit Fish, the two Hengyue Sect disciples were dumbfounded, bearing expressions more twisted than consuming refuse.
