#14 - Chapter 14 Group Mall Opens, Crazy Consumption
The sky was gloomy, dark clouds gathering, as if a downpour was imminent.
The number of travelers on the official road gradually decreased, all seeking shelter from the rain. Zong Hong put on the raincoat and bamboo hat that Uncle Chai had prepared and continued to drive the carriage swiftly.
They had to get away from Tianmu City as soon as possible, as this area was all Shangguan Yu's territory.
On the way, Wang Jiayun told everyone that her marriage to Shangguan Yu involved family interests.
Back then, the Wang family was willing to let Wang Jiayun marry Shangguan Yu because Shangguan Yu had sworn an oath to be devoted to his wife and never take a second wife or concubines.
It was his oath that made Wang Jiayun decide to marry him.
From that day on, the previously poor Shangguan family took off completely with the support of the Wang family.
Later, due to the great distance between them, the Wang family simply handed over all the industries in Tianmu City to the Shangguan family to manage, and was only responsible for collecting profits every year.
The Shangguan family was initially honest, only occasionally skimming some profits.
But later, they gradually became bolder, skimming more and more profits, and the family became increasingly wealthy.
Wang Jiayun had suppressed all of this.
If the Wang family knew that they had embezzled so much money, and also knew that Wang Jiayun had been bullied, Shangguan Yu and his family would suffer severely!
Therefore, Shangguan Yu would not let Wang Jiayun return to her family.
The moment she left Tianmu City, he would immediately issue a black market bounty.
Anyway, if his wife died outside the city, it would have nothing to do with him, Shangguan Yu.
"Alas, the world is unpredictable. Who would have thought that so many things would happen in one day?" Hong Lin said, holding the sleeping Shangguan Ping, her eyes full of sympathy.
Both mother and daughter were exhausted from crying, and they had poured out everything they needed to.
For a moment, silence fell in the carriage.
Chen Changsheng didn't know how to comfort them, so he silently opened the chat group.
[Group Reminder: Group member Chu Jichong has died!]
[Group Reminder: Group member Bian Yaocai has died!]
[Group Reminder: Group member Guan Chen has died!]
Among a large string of chat messages, there were three reminders of group members' deaths. Those who knew them expressed a few sighs, while those who didn't know them continued to chat.
The ordinary chat routine highlighted the desolation and cruelty of the immortal cultivation world.
Death was too normal for cultivators. The death of a group member would cause some acquaintances to mourn, but it would not cause too much of a stir.
"Fellow Daoist Guan Chen should have passed away peacefully..."
"The lifespan of a Qi Refining cultivator is only a little over a hundred years. Guan Chen was already in his sixties or seventies and had not yet established his foundation, so he was basically out of luck with the subsequent path of immortality."
"Chu Jichong went to Seven Star Ridge some time ago. I don't know if he was killed in the fight for opportunities or died from the dangers of the secret realm."
Zhuang Zongzheng: "Let's not talk about these sad topics. I recently made a fortune and will send everyone an points red envelope. First come, first served!"
Seeing that there were points red envelopes to grab, dozens of people instantly appeared in the group.
"Thank you, President!"
"President is generous!"
"Wishing President Zhuang an early breakthrough to the Golden Core stage!"
Chen Changsheng stared intently at the screen, clicking to open the red envelope the moment it appeared.
[Ding, congratulations on grabbing 204 points!]
[Ding! Your total points have reached 10,000, and the group mall function is now open!]
Nice!
A look of excitement flashed in Chen Changsheng's eyes.
He didn't expect to have unexpected gains from looking at the group information. He couldn't wait to open the group mall, and the dazzling array of listings made his eyes sparkle.
Cultivation methods, magic tools, elixirs, talismans, formations...
It could be said that everything was available!
Similarly, the prices made the corners of his mouth twitch. Just a casual glance revealed goods worth millions or even tens of millions of points.
Chen Changsheng didn't blink an eye and spent 4,000 points on the spot.
"The 'True Explanation of Minor Spells, Volume 1' costs 5,000 points. After mastering it, you can create your own minor spells. It feels very awesome. Spells are one of my weaknesses, but the price is a bit expensive..."
"Sky Eagle Bow, Night Demon Spear, Scarlet Feather Fan..."
"For now, ordinary iron weapons are enough. I can buy weapons later."
"My biggest weakness right now is my low cultivation realm. The total amount of true energy cannot support me to cast thunder magic multiple times. Should I buy some spells that consume less energy, or should I buy some pills that can improve my cultivation?"
Chen Changsheng rubbed his chin, carefully flipping through each page of the list.
Among them were many natural treasures that could improve spiritual root aptitude, but the prices made his eyes sting.
There was also a cultivation method that could be repeatedly rebuilt, thereby improving the purity of true energy, which was also expensive. Although it was quite suitable for Chen Changsheng, who had an infinite lifespan, he was only at the first level of Qi Refining now, so what was the point of rebuilding?
"It seems that I can only choose the most simple and unpretentious method, using pills to speed up cultivation!"
"Points can be directly used to purchase Qi Gathering Pills, but it would be more cost-effective to buy materials and refine them myself."
Just as Chen Changsheng was about to spend, he suddenly remembered that group members could trade with each other.
So he opened the chat group again and sent a message.
Chen Changsheng: "Fellow Daoists, I need a batch of alchemy materials. Is anyone willing to sell them? I will buy them with points."
Zhuang Zongzheng: "Oh, you've come to the right person. Fortunately, you didn't go to the mall to buy them. The things in the mall are very expensive. With the same points, you can buy three times the amount from my Ruihai Chamber of Commerce. Fellow Daoist, if you need any materials, send me a private message, and I guarantee that the materials are of sufficient age."
Chen Qianqian: "Changsheng needs alchemy materials? Pick me, pick me, I can also provide you with materials."
Qiu Xuan: "Hahahaha, I am also willing to trade."
Qinglian: "The Divine Envoy Kingdom also has many alchemy materials. Fellow Daoist, why not consider my side?"
Everyone rushed to send messages, and some even directly sent Chen Changsheng private message windows, fearing that they would be preempted.
Chen Changsheng had underestimated the value of points after all.
For cultivators with a foundation and background, alchemy and weapon refining materials were too common to be worth exchanging for points at all.
If they could exchange materials for points, it would be a pie in the sky.
Those cultivation methods and aptitude-improving pills in the group mall were the most valuable!
So, upon hearing that Chen Changsheng was willing to exchange points for materials, the prices offered by the group members were higher and higher, rising from three times the materials from the Ruihai Chamber of Commerce to as much as five times.
Zhuang Zongzheng: "What? Someone is offering six times the materials? Fellow Daoist, don't deceive me."
Seeing the private message sent by Chen Changsheng, Zhuang Zongzheng was dubious, unsure for a moment.
Chen Changsheng smiled happily in his heart: "Maybe it's because I'm buying a large quantity. If President Zhuang can offer a higher price, I will trade directly with you."
This...
Zhuang Zongzheng thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll offer seven times. I really can't give any higher."
Chen Changsheng was overjoyed, and just by imitating the bargaining tactics of the profiteers in his previous life, he had tricked them into giving him two more times the materials.
Opening the transaction function, he invested two thousand points.
A moment later, Zhuang Zongzheng put the corresponding materials on the transaction panel.
After confirming that there were no errors, the transaction was completed!
