Chapter 14 “The owner of the spiritual stone is lost”?
……

"Sister Qianqian." The young man looked worried. "Thirty years is too far away. It's even a question whether we can survive for three months! What are your plans for this market?"

"Uh..." Wang Qianqian looked embarrassed and obviously had no plans.

This time, she put all her time and energy into currying favor with Chen Jingyun, but in the end, she failed to get his support and all her efforts were in vain.

"Sister Qianqian, we can't go on like this." The young man said helplessly, "This time the market is open, we have to take the initiative to feel out the market. In the future, we will specialize in refining some best-selling gadgets to maintain our livelihood first, and then we can talk about the passion of refining puppets."

"I believe in your ability and you can definitely do it."

"This will take too long..." Wang Qianqian stopped talking halfway, looking like her ideals were defeated by reality. She said dejectedly, "You're right, Xiaogouzi. We have to survive first. Let's put the imitation puppet project on hold for now."

Not only did that project burn money, it also consumed a huge amount of Wang Qianqian's energy. That was why her magic weapon maintenance business became inadequate.

Until then.

"Cough cough!" Chen Jingyun coughed twice lightly to indicate his presence.

He also didn't expect that Wang Qianqian was really working on a Qi Refining Stage puppet project, rather than simply scamming people out of money.

“Master Jingyun!” Wang Qianqian’s eyes lit up, but dimmed again the next moment. The corners of her mouth twitched awkwardly. “I was a little embarrassed just now. I’m sorry to have embarrassed you.”

"It's okay." Chen Jingyun said solemnly, "Just as the moon waxes and wanes, so too does life have its ups and downs. Miss Qianqian is resilient and will definitely get out of this predicament."

"Sir, since you trust me so much, are you willing to invest in my project?" Wang Qianqian was inexplicably surprised.

"Uh..." Chen Jingyun coughed twice, "I'm just comforting you. To be honest, I have to find the owner of the 105 spirit stones and return them. I can't squander them."

Ah!
Wang Qianqian's pretty face fell and she rolled her eyes at Chen Jingyun.

Who needs your comfort?
It would be better to give a few spirit stones.

However, just as Chen Jingyun said, Wang Qianqian had a strong character and quickly adjusted her mindset and asked, "Sir, where are you going so early in the morning?"

"Let's go to the Treasure Pavilion." Chen Jingyun said truthfully, "Fourth Uncle has reserved the Beast Taming Ring."

"I'm familiar with that place. Since I'm free anyway, I'll go there with you." Wang Qianqian felt that she should try to curry favor with Chen Jingyun if she had the chance. He came from a wealthy family, and even a single hair of his would be thicker than her thigh.

"This..." Chen Jingyun hesitated, "Don't you need to find a way to save the store?"

He looked up at the name of the shop.

[Qianqian ritual instrument repair shop].

I always feel that the name of this shop is not very effective in publicity.

"This shop won't go bankrupt anytime soon." Wang Qianqian waved her hands, looking heartless. "I just want to go to the Treasure Pavilion to take a closer look and learn some lessons."

Chen Jingyun couldn't help but laugh.

Baibao Pavilion is a store jointly run by the three major immortal cultivation families, the Chen family, the Zhao family, and the Zheng family. Its business in all aspects is far superior to your third-rate store. What can you gain from this shabby store?

But Chen Jingyun didn't mind if she wanted to go.

After happily agreeing, the two walked side by side, strolling on the bluestone pavement of West Street.

After turning two corners, we arrived at the busiest corner of West Street.

Here stands a three-story wooden pavilion.

The entire pavilion is based on a complex mortise and tenon structure, with dragons and phoenixes carved on the beams and exquisite and gorgeous patterns, showing a sense of luxury like piles of gold and jade. It is magnificent and imposing.

Under the upturned eaves, bronze bells with intricate inscriptions hang down, creating invisible ripples of formations in the wind.

Under the eaves, a huge plaque hangs high with three big characters inscribed on it - [Babao Pavilion].

This is the largest immortal cultivation shop in the entire Southern Five Guards immortal cultivation world.

"Sir, please come in, Miss."

As soon as I entered the door, a young clerk with the cultivation level of the first or second level of Qi Refining came to greet me. His attitude was respectful and polite without being flattering.

There are two rows of display cabinets at the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion. The tops of the cabinets are made of transparent glass window panes, and merchandise is displayed inside. Each item is placed individually and inlaid with luminous pearls on the left and right. The faint light makes the merchandise in the cabinets bright and vivid, adding a bit of class to the merchandise.

"Would you like to see finished instruments, elixirs, or talismans? If you have special needs, we can also accept reservations and will charge a deposit as appropriate."

The clerk led the two to the counter and asked about their needs. This was the only store in the entire Sheshan Market that employed immortal cultivators as clerks.

"Hello, young man. I'm Chen Jingyun. I'm here to get a beast-controlling ring." Chen Jingyun replied politely.

The young clerk was slightly startled, but then revealed a genuine look of respect: "So you are Master Jingyun of the Chen family in Cangyi. The beast-controlling ring you requested is ready. Please follow me to the VIP parlor, where the acting shopkeeper will entertain you."

Chen Jingyun was about to agree when suddenly, a somewhat nonchalant voice sounded behind him: "I was wondering who has such a big name, it turns out to be Master Jingyun of the Chen family~"

Chen Jingyun and Wang Qianqian looked sideways.

Then a young man in his twenties dressed in brocade clothes stepped into the Treasure Pavilion.

This man had a handsome face and frivolous eyes. He was looking at Chen Jingyun with a half-smile. He was accompanied by a gorgeously dressed, charming woman who looked to be in her thirties.

"Is it you, Zhao Junfei?" Chen Jingyun frowned slightly.

He had a bad impression of Zhao Junfei.

This boy also has the qualifications of four spiritual roots, and is a leader among the younger generation of the Nanyue Zhao family. He was sent to the Yunyang Sect to practice since he was young, and now he is said to have become one of the elite disciples.

A few days ago, he had followed the Zhao family's Guangling ancestor to attend his great-grandfather's funeral. However, he seemed a little frivolous at the funeral, looking around like a wolf searching for prey.

Such behavior naturally made Chen Jingyun, who was in charge of entertaining the young guests, secretly dissatisfied.

and many more.

Chen Jingyun's expression was slightly stern.

He also had some impression of the charming woman in her thirties.

This woman seemed to claim to be a casual cultivator, and she also went to Cangyi Mountain to pay her respects, but she was obviously not of the same kind as Zhao Junfei. Could it be that...

For a moment, Chen Jingyun's face looked a little ugly.

While Chen Jingyun was observing the woman, Zhao Junfei also noticed Wang Qianqian beside Chen Jingyun.

He was also stunned for a moment, recognizing that this pretty girl had also appeared at the Cangyi Mountain funeral.

Zhao Junfei was very impressed with her and knew her name was Wang Qianqian. Originally, she was also Zhao Junfei's target, but he tried to find opportunities to talk to her several times, but she avoided him.

He even remembered that this girl was extremely obsessed with eating. She would not miss any meal and would eat until she was full every time!

"I see." Zhao Junfei narrowed his eyes and gave Chen Jingyun an ambiguous but knowing look.

It turns out that Chen Jingyun, who looks decent, is a fellow traveler like Zhao.

What a pity, what a pity.

Wang Qianqian is so young and beautiful, and her bloodline is so talented. If she falls into Chen Jingyun's hands, it would be impossible to snatch her away.

"Haha." Chen Jingyun suppressed his anger and smiled, "Brother Junfei, are you also here at the Treasure Pavilion to buy something?"

"Haha, I reserved a mid-grade magic weapon [Flowing Water Knife] from Baibao Pavilion earlier. Now, after attending your great-grandfather's funeral, I came here to pick it up." There was a hint of pride and arrogance in Zhao Junfei's words.

It's no wonder that a mid-level magic weapon is expensive, worth at least a hundred spirit stones. Some good quality ones can be sold for two hundred spirit stones.

Only some backbone members of the major immortal cultivation families are equipped with it.

It is undoubtedly a luxury for a young man like Zhao Junfei, who is in his twenties and has just entered the Lingquan realm, to be able to equip himself with a mid-grade magical weapon.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out.

The charming woman in her thirties beside him showed admiration and respect for Zhao Junfei: "Master Junfei is indeed a descendant of a wealthy family, he is indeed very generous."

Wang Qianqian also showed an envious look. One or two hundred spirit stones, just to buy a magic weapon, are all these children from noble families so rich?
"Haha." Zhao Junfei was rarely humble at this time. "This is all the money supported by the elders in my family. They also hope that I can gain an advantage in the upcoming sect competition. I am not willing to spend so much money myself."

and many more!

Hundreds of spirit stones?

Chen Jingyun was slightly stunned.

It can't be such a coincidence, right?
