47: Chapter 47 A Tiger Claw and Two Spirit Stones

Hearing the shouts floating from the street, Mo Shoutian and the other two were stunned.

Ever since hearing Qingli say that Medicinal Pills were more helpful to Cultivate than Spirit Stones, Mo Shoutian had asked Zhou Chengan to buy Medicinal Pills a few times.

Only those Medicinal Pills had to be bought with Spirit Stones, and the price was not cheap.

Because the Spirit Stones in his hands were limited, he had not bought any more since then.

Unexpectedly, people were hawking Medicinal Pills everywhere in Xianren Valley, and the prices were also much cheaper than those at Zhou Family Pharmacy.

Mo Shoutian had previously thought that being able to provide Spirit Stones to Xiaochuan was already considered the best resource for Cultivate.

He sighed and whispered softly,

"Uncle Changlin, Brother Chen, it seems that what we have prepared for Xiaochuan is still far from enough."

Mo Changlin and Chen Wanshan both understood his meaning and nodded together.

Chen Wanshan said,

"It is fine, it is not too late now. Didn't we already come here?"

While looking at the stalls on both sides, the three walked forward along the bluestone road, wanting to see what business could be done here.

Besides the shops hanging signboards on both sides of the street, there were also quite a few Cultivators who directly spread a cloth on the roadside and placed things on it to sell.

On some stalls, a row of porcelain bottles was displayed, with the names and prices of the Medicinal Pills written in front of the bottles.

Some sold Talismans, and the yellow paper was drawn with talismanic runes that Mo Shoutian could not understand.

In front of others were broken swords, Ore, animal bones, and bundles of dried herbs.

Every few steps, the hawking shouts of the stall owners could be heard.

"Low Grade protective Talismans, two Spirit Stones each."

"Black Rock Ore, good stuff for refining weapons."

"First-rank green wolf pelt, only four Spirit Stones."

People on the road stopped from time to time to ask about prices. Some picked up things, looked at them for a few glances, and put them back, while others squatted in front of the stalls to bargain with the stall owners.

At first, the three of Mo Shoutian felt that everything they saw was novel.

After passing a few shops, Chen Wanshan no longer stared only at those Medicinal Pills and Talismans, but began to pay attention to the animal pelts, animal bones, and medicinal materials sold in the shops.

The three walked and stopped, and every time they passed a shop, they would look inside a few more times.

Arriving in front of a shop named Hundred Beasts Shop, Mo Changlin stopped his footsteps.

A huge tiger claw hung at the entrance of the shop, and a pitch-black ox horn was placed next to it.

"Giant Tiger front paw, two Spirit Stones."

Mo Changlin stared at that tiger claw for a moment, then hurriedly pulled Mo Shoutian.

"Shoutian, we haven't sold a few of this kind of thing to Shopkeeper Qiu."

Mo Shoutian leaned closer to take a look.

"Indeed it is."

Chen Wanshan stood aside and said,

"Go inside and ask."

The three walked into the shop, and almost all the things displayed inside were related to large beasts.

Several complete animal pelts hung on the wall, and animal teeth, animal bones, and bundles of dried animal tendons were placed on the wooden shelves.

Sitting behind the counter was a man in his fifties. Seeing the three enter, he opened his mouth and asked,

"What do you want to buy?"

Mo Shoutian pointed at the tiger claw outside the door.

"Shopkeeper, do you accept tiger claws like that here?"

The man raised his head and looked at the three.

"Naturally we accept them, but it depends on what kind of tiger it is. No matter how big the claws of an ordinary mountain tiger are, nobody wants them here."

Mo Shoutian asked,

"What kind of tiger do people want?"

"At the very least, it must be a Giant Tiger that has bred a beast core inside its body."

The man walked out from behind the counter, took down that tiger claw, and handed it to Mo Shoutian.

"Such Giant Tigers absorb the Spiritual Qi of the mountain all year round, and the beast core inside their body is the most valuable. Their claws, teeth, animal tendons, and some bones on their bodies will also change accordingly."

"Tiger claws can be used to refine weapons, and animal tendons can be used to make bowstrings, so naturally, people are willing to buy them."

Mo Shoutian took the tiger claw and looked at it carefully.

Except that the color was a bit darker than ordinary tiger claws, he didn't see any other differences.

Mo Changlin said from the side,

"Shoutian, the Giant Tiger we hunted last time seemed to have front paws just like this."

Hearing this, the man immediately asked,

"You have hunted a Giant Tiger that bred a beast core?"

Mo Shoutian nodded.

"We have hunted one, but it has already been sold entirely to Jiuzhou City."

The man looked the three up and down for a few glances.

"I heard before that under Baitou Mountain, there is a Mo Family Village that goes into the mountains all year round to hunt large beasts, and after hunting them, they send them to Jiuzhou City."

Mo Shoutian smiled and said,

"To tell you the truth, we are people from Mo Family Village."

Hearing this, the man also laughed.

"For more than a year now, I haven't bought few goods from Shopkeeper Qiu of Dasheng Cargo Firm in Jiuzhou City."

Mo Shoutian turned back to look at Mo Changlin and Chen Wanshan, and then looked at the man.

"Are you talking about Qiu Wansheng?"

The man nodded.

"That is him."

"That old fellow hasn't earned a little this past year. Previously, at most he could get one beast core a month, plus some other things. There were so many people looking to buy goods from him that eight out of ten times I couldn't even grab any."

"Yet this year, who knows what kind of luck he struck, as he could get three or four every month, and even I could get a share of one every single month."

Hearing this, the three of Mo Shoutian also understood what was going on.

The man looked at them and said,

"Since you are people from Mo Family Village, in the future when you hunt large beasts, you can send the things directly to me. The price I give will definitely be higher than that old fellow surnamed Qiu."

Mo Shoutian smiled and said,

"Selling some things from Baitou Mountain."

After speaking, the three left the Hundred Beasts Shop.

At this point, they already knew what business the shop should do.

That man chased out from inside and asked,

"What business are you planning to do?"

Without turning his head, Mo Shoutian said,

"It should be the same as what you do."

After that, the three did not wander around anymore and inquired along the way until they came to the Executive Hall.

On both sides of the entrance of the Executive Hall, there was a pattern each.

The pattern on the left was the same as the one on the xuanyang token, and the one on the right was a white crane.

Before Mo Shoutian could figure out what was going on, he saw a man dressed as a merchant walking out from the side of the white crane pattern.

Seeing that the other party did not look like a Cultivation person, he stepped forward and asked,

"This brother, is this the Executive Hall?"

The man glanced at the three and gave a lukewarm response,

"Mn."

Mo Shoutian asked again,

"Why do these two sides hang different patterns?"

"Is it your first time here?"

"Yes."

The man looked at the three again.

"Seeing that you are just like me, you are all Mortals, right?"

The three of Mo Shoutian nodded.

"Whichever Sect told you to come, you go to that gate. Xianrengu Market is a place jointly managed by the Xuanyang Sect and the Baihe Sect."

Hearing the three words Baihe Sect, Mo Shoutian and Mo Changlin looked at each other and said nothing.

The man asked somewhat impatiently,

"You're done asking, right?"

After speaking, without waiting for the three to answer, he turned around and walked along the bluestone road.

Chen Wanshan had opened a shop in Qingshi Town for more than twenty years, so he naturally saw the reactions of the two.

"Uncle Changlin, Brother Shoutian, what is wrong with you two?"

Mo Shoutian whispered,

"Let's talk about it when we get back. Let's rent the shop first."

After speaking, the three walked towards the side hanging the pattern of the Xuanyang Sect.
