Chapter 309 Situ Mingyue

The Situ family sent three family elders, Situ Qinglan, Situ Qingxiao, and Situ Qingtan, and a young female cultivator, to express their desire to establish long-term trade relations with the Chen family.

The Situ family is a foundation-building family in the Xingsha Islands, located at the southernmost tip of the islands.

The family has been established for more than 400 years and is famous for its abundant production of mirage pearls.

The family has 35 cultivators, including three foundation-building cultivators.

They brought mirage pearls this time, expressing their desire to establish long-term cooperation with the Chen family and to sell mirage pearls to the Chen family.

Mirage pearls are spiritual pearls bred by a spiritual beast called mirage shells, which have the effect of creating simple illusions.

Situ Zhiwei, the founder of the Situ family, transformed the mirage pearls into a magical instrument through special means and his own refining skills, and named them mirage pearls.

The Mirage Pearl is used as a magic weapon to disguise the aura of a cultivator's cultivation and change his appearance at will, which has a magical effect of confusing outsiders.

For example, a young female cultivator of sixteen or seventeen years old can use the Mirage Pearl to disguise her own Qi Refining cultivation as the initial stage of foundation building.

She can also change her body shape and transform into the appearance of a white-haired old man, making it difficult for outsiders to distinguish the real from the fake.

Although this camouflage effect is invisible in front of high-level cultivators or cultivators who have learned the spiritual eye technique.

But among cultivators of the same level, it is quite practical.

With the help of the Mirage Pearl, the children of the Situ family can freely practice and move outside.

When needed, they will disguise their body shape and appearance, without fear of provoking enemies and causing trouble for the family.

Chen Xianming was very interested in learning about the effect of the Mirage Pearl.

This thing is good.

In the future, no matter what difficult problems the family cultivators encounter when traveling outside, they need to hide their origins.

Or keep the hematite ore secret, or even the subsequent white stone veins, and let the tribe members disguise and sell the ore, all of which can use this mirage bead.

After weighing this resource transaction, Chen Xianming felt that it was feasible and could indeed strengthen the relationship between the two tribes, so he nodded and agreed.

"I think this is feasible, and I won't hesitate."

"Now that the war is over, all kinds of resources have returned to the daily price, and there is no premium anymore."

"What is the expected selling price of this mirage bead?"

The output of the mirage bead of the Situ family is not large, basically maintaining about ten per year, and one is worth about 1,500 spirit stones.

This thing has no attack or defense effect, and it is completely a niche sales route.

The cultivators who need it think it will be a treasure.

Those who don't need it will be useless and will not be willing to spend money to buy it.

"One mirage bead, 1,450 spirit stones, what do you think, Patriarch Chen?"

"One thousand and fourteen per bead. There are not many cultivators in our family, so the initial purchase will not exceed 30 at most."

Hearing the bargaining chips proposed by Chen Xianming, Situ Qinglan and the other two looked at each other.

After a quick discussion, they soon agreed to the deal.

"Okay."

For the Situ family, it is nothing to earn a few dozen less spirit stones for a mirage bead to establish initial trading relations with the Chen family.

According to the current resource opening and development of the Situ family, there will be more treasures sold to the Chen family in the future.

As a newly promoted Zifu family, it is time to explosively enhance the family's foundation and expand many resource industries.

What they are looking at is mainly to establish long-term and stable exchanges and cooperation with the Chen family.

In the later stage of maintenance or repair of the mirage bead, it is also necessary to send cultivators to the Chen family to increase the relationship between the cultivators of the two families.

The first step of cooperation is established, and it will be easier to establish more trade relations later.

After the deal was concluded, the two sides chatted for a few words and discussed the specific date of purchase. They would not rush at this moment.

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation."

Situ Qingxiao smiled slightly.

"I had a good chat with Senior Chen today. If we can get closer to the nobles, it would be great."

Chen Xianming was an old and experienced man. When he heard this, he felt that the other party was hinting at something.

Next, there must be something important to say.

So, he glanced at the girl who was sitting beside him and behaved quietly from beginning to end, and said directly.

"I don't like to beat around the bush. Daoist Fellow Qingxiao, please speak up."

"Ahem, Senior Chen is straightforward. It would be unkind of me to laugh it off. So I'll speak frankly."

Situ Qingxiao first pretended to cough twice, drank a sip of tea, and moistened his throat.

Then, he looked at Situ Mingyue beside him and said with a smile.

"This is my granddaughter Situ Mingyue, who has three spiritual roots of water, gold and wood. She just turned seventeen two months ago."

"Her cultivation has reached the fifth level of Qi Refining. She has made some achievements in the way of refining instruments. She is a first-level lower-grade instrument refiner..."

Situ Qingxiao began to talk endlessly, introducing his granddaughter in detail.

The other two clansmen also interrupted from time to time and praised Situ Mingyue.

They sang in unison. What is this for? There is no need to think too much.

This is obviously a matchmaking.

Looking at Situ Mingyue again, she looks virtuous and dignified, with a pair of autumn-like eyes showing some agility.

With careful dressing, the whole person exudes a youthful atmosphere, without the charm of a cultivator showing off her sharpness.

On the contrary, people feel that she is slender and weak, like a young lady who has lived in the boudoir for a long time and has never touched the water of spring spring.

At this time, her family was matchmaking her, her face flushed, she lowered her head and looked at the tip of her shoes that were exposed from her skirt, looking a little shy.

Chen Xianming has encountered many cases of family members being matchmade by others.

When he was young, he had also been on blind dates, all of which were arranged by the family.

Situ Mingyue's qualifications and appearance are really nothing to pick.

The Situ family is willing to use a young descendant with three spiritual roots as a matchmaker, which is very sincere.

Then, no matter how good the double spiritual roots are, they will be regarded as the cultivation seeds of the family early on, so how can they marry out?

In the marriage between families, the female cultivators with poor qualifications are married off first.

For male cultivators, if their qualifications are not good enough, they can marry into the family.

It is very common for genius descendants to stay in their own family.

Chen Xianming wants Situ Mingyue to marry into the Chen family.

It is just right to further strengthen the relationship with the Situ family.

Since the family has become a successful Zifu family, they still need allies and it is impossible to be a commander without troops.

However, next, it depends on whether the Situ family wants to marry this female descendant or recruit a son-in-law.

With this doubt, Chen Xianming asked immediately.

"This girl is good, I think it is feasible, but I don't know what your specific ideas are?"

Seeing that there is a chance, Situ Qingxiao immediately smiled and said, "I want Mingyue to marry into your Chen family. What do you think, Patriarch Chen?"

"Grandpa..."

Before Chen Xianming spoke, Situ Mingyue became shy. Finally, she couldn't help but speak and stretched out her hand to pull Situ Qingxiao's sleeve.

Her action caused the smile on Situ Qingxiao's face to transfer to Chen Xianming and others.

Chen Xianming smiled and narrowed his eyes. He had long wanted to add a few descendants to the family, but he still thought about it carefully and didn't rush to agree.

"This marriage matter is not decided by me alone. It depends on the opinions of the younger generations in the clan. Daoist Qingxiao, which of the Qing generation disciples in my family have you taken a fancy to?"
