Lu Jie originally wanted to refuse, but when he thought about how one cartload of dung could be exchanged for a low-grade spirit stone, he felt it was a great deal for himself.
After all, he only used that dung for burial, and it served no purpose to him at all. It was far better to exchange it for spirit stones.
"Alright, don't forget when the time comes."
"Once we return to the sect, come to Area B to find me. Just mention my name."
Ye Hao said with a smile.
Lu Jie nodded. "Sounds good."
Before long, another dozen or so people arrived one after another, crowding the entire teleportation array to capacity.
Facing all this, the inner disciples had faces full of dissatisfaction, but there was nothing they could do—these were the sect's rules.
"Alright, everyone pay attention. The teleportation array is about to start."
"Close your eyes."
The steward looked at the crowded teleportation array, nodding in satisfaction.
This time, it really could not fit anyone else.
Then, he activated the teleportation array.
The array instantly activated, its golden spirit runes flashing continuously.
In the blink of an eye, the people on the teleportation array vanished without a trace.
Baiyun City.
Looking from afar, Baiyun City was wrapped in a layer of soft, cloud-like pale white mist, its bluish-gray spirit-rock city walls extending for dozens of li.
Cultivators and mortals continuously flowed through the city gate. In the middle city district, market buildings stood in dense rows, and the hawking of spiritual materials and spirit rice rose and fell in waves, with gusts of spiritual energy floating on the wind.
Toward the inner city, the cloud mist grew even denser, and quiet cave-dwellings could be vaguely seen hidden among spirit trees.
Bleh!
Before Ye Hao even had time to admire the view, someone nearby bent over.
With a loud gag, they vomited profusely.
The foul stench it brought was not even less than the smell on Lu Jie.
These disciples were all riding a teleportation array for the first time.
Whereas Ye Hao had spent time on the ocean in his past life, so this bit of dizziness was nothing to him.
Although it also made him feel nauseous, he could still endure it.
"Brother, I have business so I'll take my leave first. Once we get back to the sect, I'll come look for you again."
Lu Jie looked at Ye Hao and cupped his hands.
"Then see you back at the sect."
Ye Hao cupped his hands in return.
He then watched the other party walk away.
As a handyman disciple, the other party was actually able to pull out thirty low-grade spirit stones to ride the teleportation array just like him, without feeling any heartache at all.
This was enough to show that he was not simple.
This was the real reason why Ye Hao had chosen to converse with him.
Buying spirit beast dung from him was also a thought that had suddenly struck him.
It was also for the sake of an experiment.
...
Ye Hao randomly found an alleyway and slipped in. By the time he came back out, he was wrapped in a set of black clothes, even his face covered, and his aura had changed to Fifth-Layer Qi Refinement.
Neither high nor low.
The people in Baiyun City were quite used to this kind of attire.
"Friend, I have a large quantity of spirit rice on me. Where should I go to sell it?"
Ye Hao was walking along the main avenue when he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He then walked over to a corner of the wall and looked at the street thug standing there.
His tone was flat, making it impossible to gather any information from it.
"Immortal Master, you can go to Wanliang Building in the south of the city. Backed by the Baiyun Sect, they can swallow up no matter how much spirit rice you have."
Ah Li's nervous mood instantly relaxed. When the other person had walked straight toward him like that, he had thought he had provoked some enemy who had come to seek revenge.
Hearing that the other person was merely asking for information naturally allowed him to relax.
He hurriedly pointed out the direction.
"Backed by the Baiyun Sect?"
"That works too."
Hearing this, Ye Hao nodded gently.
Immediately, he flicked his right finger, sending a low-grade spirit stone shooting out to land steadily in the other party's hand.
"Thank you for the reward, Immortal Master."
Looking at the low-grade spirit stone in his hand, Ah Li was beyond excited.
He would also guide people around, but every time the most he received was one or two spirit shards.
A situation like this where he was directly given a low-grade spirit stone was something a person living at the bottom of Baiyun City like him had never encountered before.
And a single low-grade spirit stone was enough for him to live on for a whole month.
...
Wanliang Building.
A jade plaque shimmered with a soft light, and the spiritual energy in front of the building carried a faint fragrance of rice.
In the main hall, quite a few spirit farmers were carrying burlap sacks on their backs, waiting for their grain to be inspected.
A spirit-appraising jade dish shone faintly.
A steward was evaluating the grade of white spirit rice one by one and calculating the spirit stones.
Ye Hao looked around and quickly saw an open counter, walking over immediately.
Behind the counter was an elderly man.
"Little friend, is there something I can help you with?"
Ge San was doing some accounting when he suddenly felt an aura approaching. He hurriedly raised his head to look at Ye Hao, asking with a smile.
Although the person before him was wrapped in black clothes, his aura was extremely young.
To possess a Fifth-Layer Qi Refinement cultivation at such a young age...
He just did not know which Foundation Establishment immortal clan disciple he was.
"I have over a hundred thousand jin of white spirit rice. I wonder if your Wanliang Building can take it all."
Ye Hao spoke with a light chuckle.
"Little friend, surely you must be joking?"
"Over a hundred thousand jin of white spirit rice... even the Baiyun Sect behind us couldn't produce that so easily."
Hearing that the young man before him wanted to sell over a hundred thousand jin of white spirit rice at once, Ge San's expression froze.
The man subconsciously thought Ye Hao was playing a prank on him.
After all, even if the Baiyun Sect wanted to pull out so much white spirit rice all at once, it would not be that easy.
However, if it were true, then it would be a good thing for the Baiyun Sect.
At least for the outer disciples of the Baiyun Sect, it would be a massive boon.
So much white spirit rice would be enough to make their cultivation speed surge greatly once again.
"Ge San, you just need to give me an empty warehouse, and I will naturally prove it to you when the time comes."
Ye Hao's confident voice came through once more.
"Fine, I will believe you this once."
"However, let's get things straight beforehand."
"If I find out you are making a fool of me, I won't care about the family standing behind you."
Ge San stared straight at Ye Hao.
Then he locked up his counter and led Ye Hao toward the back of Wanliang Building.
That was precisely the place where they were responsible for storing white spirit rice.
Granaries stood in rows over there.
"Steward Ge, what is this?"
The person responsible for guarding this place was a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Seeing Ge San actually leading a stranger over this way, he instantly stood up warily and questioned him.
Even if the other party was a steward of Wanliang Building, if he could not explain clearly, there was no way he would let him pass.
If the granary was burglarized, he would be the one taking the blame when the time came.
"Protector Liu, this is a customer."
"However, the quantity of white spirit rice he is selling is a bit large, so he wants to find an empty warehouse."
Ge San turned back and looked helplessly at Ye Hao.
He was gambling right now. If Ye Hao really could not produce so much white spirit rice, he would definitely be punished by his superiors for a failure of due diligence.
"Warehouses No. 23 and No. 24 are both empty."
"You two go over there."
Liu Zhangqi froze for a moment.
Then he pointed to the two warehouses at the very end not far away.
As long as they did not go to the warehouses containing grain, they could mess around however they wanted in those empty warehouses.
