?

  Mo Qingchen thought about it again and again, deciding not to tell Grandpa about this matter for now, and see how things go.

  "Grandpa, where are we going first?" Mo Qingchen asked as they walked out after a simple breakfast.

  "Wait a minute." Mo Dainian suddenly said.

  Mo Qingchen turned around.

  Mo Danyan beckoned: "Lass, come over here."

  Mo Qingchen walked in front of Mo Danyan, who stared at her face for a long time. Just as Mo Qingchen was about to look at herself in the mirror, a pair of scissors appeared in his hand. He used a comb to tidy up her hair while cutting it with the scissors, and her black hair fell down with a rustling sound.

  She picked up the mirror, and all she saw was a little girl in it. Her originally smooth forehead was covered with thick bangs, and her eyebrows could no longer be seen.

  "Girls, nowadays going out is not like being at home..." Mo Danyan said, little girls all love beauty, although knowing that her granddaughter was sensible, she also feared that she might feel uncomfortable in her heart.

  Mo Qingchen immediately understood Mo Dajian's meaning. For a lone cultivator, especially a woman, without sufficient strength, beauty was nothing but trouble.

  Mo Qingchen smiled slightly, and the sparkling light in his eyes was completely covered by his bangs: "Grandpa, it's fine like this."

  The two did not say much and went to the outer city's mortal district to buy daily necessities, then went to the inner city's commercial district, where they sold all the unused items in a shop opened by the Yao Guang sect. Only then did they return home.

  "Girl, apart from the two bottles of Ling Spirit Pills we bought today, we still have a total of one hundred pieces of low-grade spirit stones, more than two hundred spirit pearls, and Grandpa has some medicinal pills that haven't been sold yet, you don't need to use them for now. Originally there was another bottle of Ling Spirit Pills, you can take it all. The spirit stones will be left with Grandpa for now, and the spirit pearls you can keep using." Mo Danyan said to Mo Qingchen as he sat in his new rocking chair.

  Mo Qingchu took over the Jiling Pill and Lingzhu. He muttered: "Grandfather, why did you give me so many things?"

  Mo Danyan smiled: "Foolish child, Grandfather no longer needs the Gathering Spirit Pill. Normally, only the Rejuvenation Pill is needed to stabilize injuries, and you are at a time when you cannot delay your cultivation. Who should I give it to if not you? Unfortunately, all the elixirs Grandfather refined in the clan have been handed over to the clan, leaving only this one bottle of Gathering Spirit Pill."

  "Grandpa, don't buy Qingchen any more Ling Spirit Pills in the future. They're too expensive, one pill costs three low-grade spirit stones! You should buy more Rejuvenation Pills instead." Mo Qingchen said.

  "Ha ha, don't worry about Grandpa, little girl. Grandpa knows what's going on. You should know that if a cultivator has enough elixirs, even if they have a Five-Spirit Root, their cultivation speed won't be slower than those dual-spirited root cultivators who don't take elixirs. It's normal for these elixirs to be precious. The Gathering Spirit Pill is already the cheapest elixir. Little girl, nothing is more precious than time, so don't be stingy with these things. Grandpa will be in closed-door training to recover from injuries over the next few days, you should stay at home and cultivate well. When Grandpa's injuries are a bit better, think about what plans you have."

  "Ah." Mo Qingchen replied.

  Mo Daxian started closing the door to heal his wounds, leaving Mo Qingchen alone to practice every day. However, after just two days, she felt a bit stifled.

  Look at Grandfather's current situation. This time, the Spring Return Pill will have to be taken continuously. To cultivate faster, one can't do without the elixir, but now just sitting and eating is not a solution. If I don't have the elixir, my cultivation speed will just be slower, but if Grandfather doesn't have the Spring Return Pill——

  Feeling his mind wandering, Mo Qing stopped his cultivation and pushed open the courtyard door to walk out, taking a last glance at Grandfather's tightly closed room.

  At the foot of the mountain, the environment is quiet and peaceful, with birds chirping incessantly in my ears. Occasionally, I see monks coming and going, but no one gives a second glance to an inconspicuous little girl like me.

  Mo Qingchen took a deep breath and shook off the feeling of being lost as he walked alone out the door, heading towards the market.

  That day, when she followed her grandfather to handle goods, she had noticed the wine workshops in the commercial district. On Qingyu Road, there was a large winery called Qiongjiang Winery, which was opened by the Yao Guang School. In the small shops on the left side of the street, there were three or four small wineries, which were all the places that sold spiritual wine in the inner city.

  Among them, the varieties of spirits in Qiongjiang Workshop are the most complete and the prices are the highest. Several small distilleries have one or two signature spirits, and the rest are ordinary, only winning in terms of affordable prices.

  Mo Qingchen had already thought of an idea. Given her current situation, she didn't even have the financial resources to open a small wine shop. It would be better for her to set up a small stall and try out the market first. If it was still okay, then she could make a living from this for now.

  After a while, Mo Qingchen finally arrived at the market, without staying for long, and went straight to the right side, where there were all kinds of stalls calling out.

  "Come and take a look, newly caught monster beast, fresh and complete materials."

  "Cloud brocade, cloud brocade, dust-repelling cloud brocade."

  "Immortal maiden, look at this little rabbit, it's only three months old, just the right age to raise, how about buying one to take home and play with?"

  Mo Qingchen was truly surprised, not expecting the monks here to sell things in a way that wasn't much different from the vegetable markets in the secular world. It was just as chaotic and noisy, but for some reason, it made people feel more at ease.

  Suddenly feeling something unusual behind him, Mo Qing dust immediately turned his horse around and saw the young Xia who had guided them that day with his hand stretched out in mid-air.

  "What are you doing?" Mo Qingchen asked cautiously.

  Xiaoxia nonchalantly withdrew her hand and touched her head, saying: "Little sister, you're quite clever, book fans also like to read:"

  "Do... you still recognize me?" Mo Qingchen asked.

  "How can I forget? This adorable little sister."

  Mo Qingchen was secretly shocked in his heart. This young man had good eyesight, but it was only a brief encounter. Now that half of his face was covered by his hair, he was actually recognized just by looking at his back, and his face turned into a tiger's: "What little sister? According to the rules, you should call me Shifu (Master)!"

  Xiaoxia was in a daze, muttering to herself for half a day without saying anything.

  Mo Qingchen smiled and walked away to look at the stalls, she was now alone by herself and didn't want to get too close to others, not that she really blamed that young man.

  Unexpectedly, Xia followed closely and asked, "Is there anything I can help with?"

  Mo Qingchen looked at him and said, "I don't have a Lingzhu for you."

  "Who said anything about Lingzhu? Besides, I can only introduce you to the situation, don't expect me to help with the busy work." Xiaoxia smiled.

  Able to blend in seamlessly within the inner city, even Mo Qingchen, who had a cultivation base of Refining Qi Second Layer, didn't dare look down on this young man. How could he be so enthusiastic about himself?

  Mo Qing looked at him hesitantly. Xiao Xia frowned and said, "You're still young, why are your thoughts so heavy? I was just looking at you because of your youth and the fact that we've met twice is also fate. If you don't believe me, then forget it."

  Seeing the young man's annoyed look, Mo Qingchen knew that he had gone through the disaster of the Mo family and could no longer be as defenseless as before. But thinking about it, there was no need to be overly cautious, he and his grandfather would always have to take root here, and getting to know some people wouldn't hurt.

  "I want to set up a stall and sell some things." Mo Qingchen said.

  "Are you selling things alone? Where is your grandfather?" Xia asked in surprise.

  Mo Qingchen furrowed his brow: "Grandfather is very busy, how come, setting up a stall here also depends on age?"

  "Actually, there isn't, but you'd better be more careful on your own. Although fighting is prohibited in the inner city, disputes still occur frequently. By the way, if you occasionally have something to sell, go over there and set up a stall, it's free of charge. If you want a fixed stall, you'll need to pay a fee. Also, this place only has people during the early morning and evening hours, so don't come at other times."

  Xiaoxia loves to talk. Mo Qing listened carefully and learned a lot of news, thanked her, continued to stroll around, walked back and forth, and gradually made up his mind.

  Those fixed stalls were all planned to be a low platform next to each other, selling Lingguo, Lingcha and other food, selling various Dan medicine, selling Fu Luoshu array method and materials, etc. They are all connected together, making it easy for people to go straight to the place they want to go. As for those scattered stalls, they were disorderly and irregular, randomly using a piece of cloth spread on the ground to peddle goods.

  The business of fixed stalls is obviously better than that of scattered stalls, but some people look leisurely and slowly pick up the goods of scattered stalls.

  Mo Qing dust stopped at the food stall, saw a vacant spot next to a fixed booth, walked over, smiled at an old man selling spiritual tea beside him, took out a clean blue cloth and spread it on the ground, placed more than ten wine gourds on it, moved a folding stool behind and sat down.

  Mo Qing dust settled, looked around and found that many stall owners of fixed stalls looked at her with strange eyes. She turned her head to look at the people closest to her, one was an old man selling spiritual tea, and the other was a young woman selling spiritual fruit.

  The young woman simply glanced at her lazily and started cracking the melon seeds in her hand.

  The old man's hair was all white, and he looked kind and gentle. He stared at Mo Qingchen for a moment before finally speaking up, "Little girl, are you new here?"

  Mo Qingchen nodded: "Uh-huh."

  "Little girl, that location is also good, how about..." The old man's words were not yet finished, when Mo Qingchen heard someone ask: "How do you sell this wine?"

  Mo Qingchen didn't bother to respond to the old man's words, and instead turned his head around to face the person standing in front of the stall, giving a sweet smile: "This uncle, my spiritual wine tastes extremely good, only thirty spiritual pearls per jar is enough."

  The middle-aged man frowned: "This is the lowest grade of spiritual wine, how can it be sold so expensive? Even if it's Qiong Jiang Fang, this amount would not cost more than this price."

  The man was right, Mo Qingchen's wine gourd wasn't big, and the same quantity and quality, just referencing the price set by Qiongjiang Workshop, the price was even more expensive than those small wine shops, no wonder he was dissatisfied.

  Mo Qingchen understood, most of the people who came to browse the stalls were looking for a bargain. Seeing the man turn around and want to leave, he hastily shouted: "Uncle, this spiritual wine is the lowest grade Linggu Valley brew, but it's added with other spiritual herbs. The effect can't be said to be anything, but the taste is absolutely much better than ordinary spiritual wine."

  Seeing the man stop in his tracks with a half-believing, half-doubtful expression, Mo Qingchen immediately picked up a wine gourd and opened the lid, saying: "Uncle, if you don't believe me, just take a taste. If you think it's not worth this price, you can turn around and leave."

  The man was probably an alcoholic, and after smelling the wine aroma coming out of the opened lid, he couldn't help but sniff it again, then looked at Mo Qingchen's harmless appearance and took a swig.

  Mo Qingchen secretly took a deep breath and thought to herself: "If you don't buy this, I'll cry myself to death." Just then, he poured about half of it into his mouth.

  "Big Brother——" Seeing the man sucking his mouth, Mo Qingchen shouted.

  The man came back to his senses: "Not bad, I didn't expect this low-grade spiritual wine to be so good to drink. Here, give me three calabashes."

  "Ah." Mo Qingchu took over the spiritual stone handed over by the man and gave him ten spiritual pearls in return.

  Not bad as a opening move, Mo Qingchu thought, as he gazed at the spirit stone that had fallen into his storage bag, a smile spreading across his face.

  At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out: "Where did this wild girl come from?!"
