"Wait, I seem to remember." The young man with potato skewers said, "I'm not sure if it's March 27, but two years ago it was about March and April. One night I wanted to eat barbecue, but I didn't come here. When I saw the barbecue stall, I only saw a strange woman standing where it should be, holding a... I didn't see it clearly, anyway, there was probably something this big."

He made a gesture that was about the size of an incense burner, and continued: "The woman said by herself, 'I bought it, how much is it', then took out a few banknotes and handed them forward, let go, and the banknotes floated to the ground. Then the woman walked away with the thing. I thought I was suffering from a mental illness, but when I turned my head, the banknotes floating on the ground disappeared. In the few seconds when I turned my head to look at the woman and then turned my head back, The banknotes are gone, one of them is gone... Wait a minute, I thought I was hit by a ghost at the time, and I was so scared that I was in a cold sweat, I told someone, wait for me to check the information, "

He rummaged through the message records for a while: "Should... Yes, March 2722:[-]..."

"Hey, I remembered it when you said that," the barbecue uncle said, "Did you still scare me the next day that my stall was haunted?"

Potato Skewers Youth: "I'm not scaring you, the situation was really weird at that time."

"Come on," another customer who just got the barbecue said, "it's nine or ten o'clock in the evening, and there are still people coming and going here. Why are you the only one who saw it?"

Potato Skewers Youth: "Don't tell me, I was really the only one that day. Can you imagine the horror, I found myself as if I had run into a ghost, and I looked around, oh my god, the only one besides me Human is that abnormal woman, and I don’t know whether she is human or not. I was so scared that I literally ran home.”

Many people booed him: "Make it up, keep making it up."

Potato Skewers Youth: "Tsk, don't believe it. But sister, no, brother, you must believe it? You must have something abnormal that day, right?"

Me who is not a girl and does not want to be your brother: "So you didn't see the stall I mentioned?"

Potato Skewer Youth: "Uh... no... but! I think that woman who doesn't know if she's a human or a ghost is holding something like the odds and ends you mentioned. For example, a water glass or something."

Everyone booed him again: "I want to make it more like a circle. It's too embarrassing to hit so hard."

Potato Skewers Youth: "Go, go, you know what an egg."

Me: "Do you have a picture?"

Potato Skewer Youth: "No..."

Don't many people like to take pictures of everything and share them with the world?Even at the moment of life and death, you don’t forget to take pictures and share them. You said you didn’t take them?As the saying goes, no picture, no truth, how can you make me believe what you say is true?

Potato Skewer Youth: "What I said is really true."

Everyone booed: "Bring out the evidence."

Potato Skewers Youth: "Isn't this news enough evidence? This brother said the date first, and now the date of this news is exactly the same as what he said. Is it a coincidence?"

Me: "Maybe you changed the date."

Crowd: "Yes, you just flipped through the news for so long, who knows if you have tampered with it."

Potato Skewer Youth: "What tricks can I do? I just learned music, and even the normal use of ordinary software is often confused. What can I change? Oh, I am wronged."

"I can prove that he studied music." The barbecue uncle said.

Potato skewer youth: "Look, there are still reasonable people."

The reasonable barbecue uncle said: "But there is no necessary relationship between learning music and whether to use software or not."

Crowd: "It's really reasonable."

"I..." The besieged potato skewers stared at me hard, "Brother, do you believe me?"

Me: "It's been less than half an hour since we met. It's hard for me to trust strangers."

The masses: "It should be, it should be defensive. Strangers can't be trusted. Strangers with ulterior motives can't be trusted even more."

Young Potato Skewers: "Looks like I'm going to make a big move. Who has a pen and paper? Lend me a bit."

Although everyone didn't know what he wanted to do, they still actively put together a set for him.Many of the people who came to eat barbecue at night were bored, so everyone gathered around the barbecue stand to watch the excitement, ate one skewer after another, and enthusiastically wrapped up my share with Maoqiu.

"Cats can't eat such a strong smell." An aunt advised.

Me: "This cat has eaten the elixir. It can eat the same food as humans." The elixir is the name of the elixir for the cultivation world in the mortal world.In addition, the two sentences I said are true, but in fact there is no causal relationship between the two sentences.

"Huh? There is this kind of elixir?" a girl exclaimed, "I also have a cat, can I eat it too? Where can I buy it? Is it expensive?"

Me: "I got it from Yunxiazong. I have a task at Yunxiazong's office and said that I want my pet to eat and drink with me, and they will provide it. But this is a mission-based nature, and it must be much more expensive than buying it directly." , but I don’t know where to buy directly.”

Yunxia Sect does provide this kind of elixir, and every sect with alchemy can provide some strange by-product elixir, but because it is a by-product, and because it is purely artificially refined, the output is very low, and it cannot be sold in large quantities. Many species are unknown to outsiders.

However, one can understand a spirit: the cultivation world basically has something that can be solved for the needs that ordinary people can think of. It is nothing more than the difference in the difficulty of obtaining it, as well as the difference between perfect solution and sneaky solution.It even includes washing the non-spiritual roots into single-spiritual roots, but the price is basically no one can afford.

Girl: "Can you tell me how much you spent?"

Me: "One medium-grade spirit stone plus more than 30 low-grade spirit stones."

"Ah...it's really expensive," the girl asked, "Do I need Lingshi?"

0519_Business

Hiss... Sister, your question is very meaningful... Even according to the official price, a middle-grade spirit stone is more than 100 million mortal coins, and more than 30 low-grade spirit stones are more than 30.If you can use Lingshi, are you going to spend more than 130 million to strengthen your cat's digestive system?

Me: "I don't know, but even if you can use mortal coins, it's impossible to give up the official price?" The official price has always been used to squeeze the fool monks to exchange spirit stones for mortal coins, and the reverse is just a matter of luck.Low-grade spirit stones can occasionally meet luck, but middle-grade spirit stones are basically useless in the mortal world.

Sister: "Do you think that if I go directly to the Yunxiazong office, the consulting fee will be very high?"

Me: "It depends on how you define high, anyway, it must be cheaper than talking to a big-name lawyer in the mortal world."

Girl: "Huh? Is Yunxiazong so close to the people?"

The purpose of being close to the people is to blackmail better. If you don’t lower your guard first, how can you spit out all the information about how many times you wet the bed when you were young?

Me: "If you entrust a task, there is no additional charge for consultation related to the task. If you decide not to entrust the task after consulting for a long time, you will have to pay a certain consulting fee. The specific amount depends on the content of your consultation, but ordinary people consult Lingzhu will do."

Relatively speaking, Lingzhu is the currency in the cultivation world that is relatively easy to obtain in the mortal world. The official price is one Lingzhu for one hundred mortal coins, and the reverse exchange usually does not exceed two hundred mortal coins, unlike low-grade spirit stones, The starting price of middle-grade spirit stones has always been hundreds of times higher than the official price, and top-grade spirit stones... high-grade spirit stones have only been traded for a total of one in the history of the mortal world. The number of counts is not worth discussing.

Girl: "How many spirit beads are usually used as a base?"

Me: "Ask how to sell the elixir that transforms the cat's digestive system. This kind of question is enough. Even if you directly give one hundred mortal coins, the staff in the office will not have any objection."

Girl: "Are you sure?"

I am familiar with the rules, you say I am not sure?I nodded: "The office has the function of a store. Some things that the immortals don't need and are not suitable for putting in the store of the mortal world because of too little production, and some things with an experimental nature are all in the store. It’s sold at the office. It’s just that most people don’t dare to go directly to the offices of the Cultivation Sect to ask about these things, and the things sold in the offices are very uncertain. For example, what I bought there today may not be available tomorrow if you ask. It takes a lot of luck to get exactly what you need.”

Girl: "Then, is this cat elixir still available?"

Me: "I don't know, I ate it with my cat two years ago."

"Ah..." The girl was disappointed.

Me: "Time is not a problem, it's only two years. For a fairy, it's no different from two days."

Sister: "That's right, I'm, oh, I'll ask tomorrow."

Me: "It's okay now, the work and rest time of immortals is not as regular as that of ordinary people."

Girl: "No, it's because I need to prepare mentally all night to make a deal with a fairy. I'm a little nervous."

Oh, I have nothing to comfort you now.

The previous aunt shook her head and walked away after listening to us halfway through the conversation, probably because she really couldn't listen to our prodigal conversation.

Wait a minute, I was wronged, I just put the cost of the data I entrusted this time to the elixir, in fact, the elixir that transforms the digestive system of mortal animals... I don't know what the price is , but it should be impossible to use middle-grade spirit stones, at most a few low-grade spirit stones are almost enough.Unless the furnace is specially opened for refining, the cost is not the pill money, but the labor fee for asking Danxiu to do it.

Danxiu's pricing of elixir is often very arbitrary.For example, if you are in a bad mood and make a batch of useless prank pills in a mess, maybe you can sell them at the cost price of pure materials, or you can just give them away for free.But if someone specifically asks him to make this kind of useless elixir, first put the furnace opening fee before talking.Then calculate the time cost, and then calculate the material handling fee... What, the purchase price of the material itself?That fraction can be erased, anyway, it was only a fraction.

So, what price this girl will buy the elixir really depends on luck.If the office happens to have stock, maybe a few spirit beads can be bought, but if there is no stock, this girl is in a hurry to ask for it, so the office will help and entrust monks to refine it. For the cost, I'm afraid you really need a middle-grade spirit stone.

——Book first and wait for the opportunity. This trick is not good for monks to grasp the time, because it may last for hundreds of years.Become a ghost?

"Look, that female ghost looks like this!" The young potato skewer drew a sketch, and the person on it... doesn't look like Chai Du...

But the painting itself is pretty good, quite realistic, and the post-it note and signature pen didn't hide its vividness.Do those who study music these days also study painting?

"What's the painting?" Some people complained, "It's so tight from head to toe, how do you know it's a woman?"

Potato skewer youth: "Nonsense, can this curve still be a man?"

The crowd: "Where did the curve come from? Is your drawing broken or your eyes are particularly distorted?"

The person in the picture of the young potato skewers is wearing a loose robe, the kind with a hood, the kind that the evil wizard in the wizard story wears when doing bad things. One can't even tell if it's a human being or not.

The problem is, the night Chai Du got the incense burner, she didn't wear it like this.Sun Zhongsi thinks that the young lady has good taste, so that the girl he likes will not be unable to wear a decent set of clothes after having a one-night stand with him.

——What woke up to find that my one-night stand had sneaked away, nonsense.It was Chai Du who was poisoned by the medicine, it was Chai Du who was weaker, and it was Chai Du who was tortured on the bed.No matter how you think about it, it is impossible for her to wake up earlier than Sun Zhongsi, and she does not have the energy to complete the 'sneak' work when she wakes up. Miss Sun can't sleep like a dead pig, and her bodyguards are not white-collar wages.
