Chapter 488 Seedlings in Hand, the More the Merrier
These men were clearly employees of the trading company, dressed in uniform. The one in the lead, with a full beard and a gloomy look in his eyes, pointed to the bottom compartment and asked, "Who received this shipment? Don't they know the City Lord's Mansion dislikes Blue Blood Vine?"
The bearded man turned to look at the group behind him. The group exchanged glances and remained silent.
Noticing that some monks nearby were looking over, and not wanting to disrupt the exhibition, the bearded man had no choice but to whisper an order, "If anyone asks, get rid of it immediately."
As soon as he finished speaking, a round-faced employee whispered, "Manager Liao, these items are sold as a bundle. They can't be sold individually; all four must be purchased together. It's written in black and white by the custodian."
Manager Liao's face immediately darkened. He took a deep breath before replying, "Understood."
After saying this, Manager Liao turned and left the corner to inspect other corners.
The three siblings, Wenwen and her brother, who were standing not far away, watched these people leave, and their worries immediately disappeared.
Bundled sales?
Wenwen started to ponder. It seemed that the sales methods in the immortal realm were no different from those in the mortal realm. People with a sales mind liked to organize these so-called "buy one get three free" promotions.
After seeing the group leave the hall, the three siblings walked toward the corner display stand.
To learn more about these items, Wenwen used her spiritual power to activate the nameplates next to them.
The nameplate received spiritual power and instantly, like a projection, displayed information about the items in front of the three siblings.
[Black fruit pit: unknown.]
Black and yellow leaves: unknown.
White seeds: unknown.
Blue Blood Vine Seedlings: Advantages: Improves cultivators' physique; Disadvantages: Consumes spiritual energy.
Three siblings...
Such a unique introduction?
That's so concise and to the point!
Is this caretaker an idiot? Bringing here random things with unknown effects and unidentified species to fool people?
Could it be that the people from the Five Continents Trading Company are also fools?
Or perhaps, because nothing is clear about it, it was placed in this corner that no one wants to approach?
I have to say, they were all right.
The three siblings' action of activating the nameplates was seen by nearby staff, and a handsome-looking staff member immediately came over to ask, "Fellow Daoists, are you satisfied with these items?"
Upon hearing this official question, Wenwen couldn't help but suppress the corners of her mouth that were curving upwards.
The last item had only a ten-word description, while the rest were undetermined. He really wanted to ask this decent-looking staff member, "Guess whether I'm satisfied or not?"
"Fellow Daoist, is that all the description of these three items here?" Wen Chengjian asked.
The staff member glanced at the still-present projected introduction, blinked, and then said politely and respectfully, "Yes, that's all. If you fellow Daoists are interested, you may move to the reception room for a more detailed discussion."
Seeing that Wenwen and the others remained silent, and also worried that the deal might fall through, the staff member whispered again, "Gentlemen, the prices of these items are negotiable. Why don't you move to the reception area? This way, please."
Just kidding. After waiting so long, someone finally activated the nameplates on these items. He had to seize this opportunity. The steward had specifically instructed him to sell these items as soon as possible to avoid attracting the attention of the city lord's mansion.
The staff member looked at the three siblings expectantly, waiting for their approval.
Wenwen thought to herself, since she is sincere about buying the seedlings, she shouldn't try to delay or procrastinate. It would be really annoying if she accidentally lost more than she gained.
She gave Wen Chengjian a wink, and the latter said, "Please lead the way, fellow Daoist."
Upon hearing this, the staff member's eyes lit up. "Alright, fellow Daoists, this way please."
Once inside the reception room, things went surprisingly smoothly. One party was genuinely interested in buying, and the other was genuinely interested in selling. After agreeing on the price, they completed the formalities and exchanged spirit stones.
"Fellow Daoist, are you going to wait here to collect your items, or would you like to browse around a bit more and take them all with you after the meeting?" the staff member asked.
To avoid any unforeseen complications, Wen Chengjian stated frankly that he would take the items and then continue exploring.
The staff member nodded, "Okay, please wait here for a moment, fellow Daoist."
In no time, the staff came in with several jade boxes. The efficiency was incredible, as if they were worried that the children would run away. After inspecting the goods, the three siblings calmly left the reception room.
Now that they had obtained the seedlings they wanted most, they could simply stroll around and broaden their horizons. The siblings wandered from one hall to another without any burden, looking at each item one by one, activating the nameplates to learn more about anything they wanted to know.
They also had the privilege of witnessing certain wealthy monks activating the nameplates of top-tier items.
As expected, the items placed in the best positions had detailed and lengthy descriptions.
After a whole day of shopping, the group was still full of energy and wanted more. They wanted this and that, but ultimately succumbed to the limited amount of spirit stones in their pockets. After comparing and considering the options repeatedly, one of them reluctantly bought a few items.
After the meeting ended and they left the venue, they realized that it was already completely dark, and there were many cultivators like them lingering there, reluctant to leave.
Guided by staff, everyone left the venue in an orderly manner and went into homes under the cover of night.
The three siblings walked towards the courtyard, talking as they went.
Just as I reached the alley entrance, I ran into Huang Xiaoyang, who was returning from her shift.
"Hey guys, you're back! How was the World Expo? What did you think? Did you find anything you liked?" Huang Xiaoyang greeted them.
"Yes, yes, I bought a few things. Could you take a look at them for me when I get back?"
Wen Chengbin said familiarly that everyone was the same age and had similar cultivation levels, so they quickly became acquainted.
The group entered the courtyard together and then sat down at the stone table to talk about what they had seen and heard at the World Expo that day.
Huang Xiaoduo brought out tea and snacks to greet them, "Brothers are back. Are you thirsty? Have some snacks to fill your stomachs. We'll have dinner when Mom and Dad get back."
Before long, the restrictions on the courtyard were triggered.
Madam Xu returned, accompanied by several other women.
"Oh, Xiaoyang has guests? The aunties have come at the wrong time," a woman in a floral dress joked.
"Aunt Hua, you're joking. These are some of my good friends."
Huang Xiaoyang politely greeted the women, "Aunties, please sit down. We'll go inside and won't disturb you any longer."
Unexpectedly, Aunt Hua said cheerfully, "No need, we're just chatting. We heard that your mother is helping someone buy Blue Blood Vine, so we came to find out more."
Another older woman laughed and said, "That's right, it's no trouble for you young people to listen from the side, there's no need for you to come inside."
A middle-aged woman with thin eyebrows next to Xu took her hand and asked, "Yang-ge's mother, are you really helping people collect Blue Blood Vine? How many do you want?"
How much do you want?
Wow, that's quite a boast!
Wenwen secretly thought to herself, "The more the merrier!"
Receiving a glance from Xu, Wenwen nodded almost imperceptibly. She would definitely accept any mature Blue Blood Vine that could be used in medicine.
Although I can plant the seedlings myself once I get them, it still takes time for them to grow! Having ready-made ones is so much better! It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
