Chapter 76 Prices are rising
The next day, Jiang Lan went out early in the morning.
He first went to the External Affairs Hall of the Spiritual Plant Peak to buy spiritual vegetables, and then went to the Spiritual Beast Peak to buy monster meat.
There was a small trade fair this afternoon. As usual, Jiang Lan had to prepare a lunch, and now he was preparing the ingredients.
Jiang Lan just arrived at the outer gate, but found a group of people gathered in front of him, and there were even inner disciples wearing light blue clothes.
This aroused his curiosity...
Across the crowd, I saw a 20-year-old outer youth in the distance, smashing the spiritual plants with a hoe.
The whole spiritual field had been messed up by him, all with broken roots and branches...
There were several outer disciples next to him, ready to stop him. Someone hugged his waist, and another one snatched the hoe and threw it far away, while saying something!
It was not until then that the outer disciple stopped his crazy behavior and sat on the ground with his eyes dull.
"Alas, another one..."
"Yeah, I don't know why, there are unexpectedly many soul-eating insects this time."
"The key is that these insects are not difficult to get rid of, but difficult to find!"
"You can only rely on experience, but those new disciples who lack experience... have suffered heavy losses this year..."
Jiang Lan pieced together the whole story from the words of others.
Everything is caused by soul-eating insects. These soul-eating insects come about once every 3-5 years, and most people are actually used to it.
The sect also has a record, such as reducing the task quota for the year.
But this year there are too many soul-eating insects, and they have formed an insect disaster...
When those disciples who have worked hard to plant for a year or even several years, they watch the fruits of their labor being eaten.
But they can't find them at all. Even if they patrol day and night, there are still spiritual plants being eaten, even under their noses.
You can imagine how devastated they will be at that moment.
It is also possible that they will pick up hoes and smash spiritual plants later.
This kind of disgusting insect can make people want to fight to the death.
[Even if it is destroyed, I won't let you get it! ]
This is probably what the disciple thought.
Jiang Lan sighed and continued to walk towards the predetermined destination.
After purchasing the ingredients, he walked on the way back.
"I didn't expect that even the spiritual vegetables have increased in price..."
"I guess many people can't afford the elixirs needed for cultivation..."
This soul-eating insect has dealt a heavy blow to the already not-so-rich resources for cultivation.
Jiang Lan also thought about whether to help the sect get rid of insects.
But after careful consideration, he found that such an approach might only put himself in dire straits.
After all, he is only one person, and the sect is so big. Doesn't he practice or eat, but throw himself into getting rid of insects?
Apart from these, it is impossible for him to get rid of them in a short time by himself, so there must be a sequence.
Those who are behind will naturally be unhappy. Why can't I be the first? Why do I lose?
After all, people are not worried about the lack of things but the inequality.
Rather than being treated as a donkey with good intentions and being a nobody, it is better not to say it.
Just protect the spiritual fields of yourself and your relatives and friends...
"Unless it is a pest control method that everyone can use..."
"However, there is no good method in the world of immortal cultivation until now."
The world of immortal cultivation does not have no way to deal with soul-eating insects, but in terms of cost, it is not universal!
Jiang Lan returned to the cave and began to prepare lunch...
At the same time, there are talismans that need to be traded.
After recent training, the art of drawing talismans has made great progress.
It can basically achieve full production, especially the four talismans of attack, defense, escape, and treatment, which can basically achieve full production.
Because Jiang Lan's work and rest schedule is one day to stay up late and one day to rest...
On average, 15 pieces a day, about 100 pieces a week.
Jiang Lan had just processed most of the ingredients when Han Gongxian came.
He also came to participate in the trade fair. Due to the results of the small trade fair, Jiang Lan also pulled Han Gongxian in.
With one pill and one talisman, and two immortal cultivation technicians in charge, the trade fair was very popular.
Every time the prepared goods could be dumped, some even complained that they were not enough.
As time approached noon, everyone arrived on time, ate and chatted...
After cleaning up, each person had a cup of tea, and the trade fair officially began.
However, this time Duan Ren was a little solemn and not as active as before. He wanted to speak several times during the meal just now, but finally gave up.
Jiang Lan naturally discovered this problem, and thought about it, it was probably about the spiritual medicine.
Today's scene is still vivid. Under the current situation, it is estimated that it is difficult to buy spiritual medicine at the previous price.
It has also risen several times before. The last transaction price was 40 spiritual stones per bottle, while the market price was 50 spiritual stones.
Correspondingly, the price of pills has also soared. The original first-level lower-grade Qi Gathering Pill, a bottle of 100 spiritual stones, now it is about 200...
It has a great impact on the outer disciples. Even if the spiritual medicine hoarded before is sold, it can't catch up with the increase in the price of pills.
I just put it aside and don't buy it anymore. I'll wait for the price to drop before buying it again.
On the contrary, the inner disciples did not deduct the monthly bottle of Qi Condensation Pills.
"Brother Jiang, I don't think I can pay with spiritual medicine this time. I wonder if I can use contribution points or spiritual stones?"
"The price can be raised a little!"
Finally, Duan Ren still said it.
Jiang Lan secretly said, "Sure enough..."
He could understand that, given the current situation, the price of spiritual medicine would continue to rise in the next few years, completely exceeding the price difference of reselling talismans from Jiang Lan.
"It doesn't matter, I know the situation, let's keep the previous price of 50 spiritual stones, half with spiritual stones and half with credit points."
If the cooperation wants to last, interests are an indispensable bond.
The small trade fair gave Jiang Lan the opportunity to cash in on his skills and saved a lot of unnecessary trouble, so it is reasonable to give some profit.
"Thank you for your understanding, Junior Brother Jiang, or let's raise the price a little."
Li Xinyi said on the side.
"Recently, the price of talismans has been rising!"
"Oh? Why is that?"
According to Jiang Lan's understanding, the price increase of elixirs is understandable, but what about the talismans?
"Now, due to the insect plague, many people have lost a lot of contribution points, so they naturally have to earn them back from other places!"
"So there are a lot of people going on missions and hunting monsters, and the price of talismans has naturally risen!"
"I see... What is the current price?"
"It is stable at 55 spiritual stones per piece! And it is still rising! It is expected to reach 60 spiritual stones later..."
"Well... forget it, let's go with the original price. Your previous pricing made me earn a lot of money. This time, you deserve to make a fortune."
In fact, when they paid with spiritual medicine before, according to the market, they didn't make much money, just a running fee...
Maybe they wanted to make friends with Jiang Lan, so they gave a big discount.
As mentioned before, if you want to maintain cooperation, benefits are indispensable.
Sure enough, when this was said, the smiles on everyone's faces could not be hidden.
