Since Chen Mobai had a good amount of Spirit Stones, he felt this puppet robot was overpriced.
Moreover, it was easy for him to earn Spirit Stones now, but Good Deed Points were the complete opposite: the more he used, the fewer he had.
The main point though was because Bud Hall had a limited demand for Red Sun firewood. Those willing to spend Spirit Stones to get it might only be Liu Wenbo, the Luo siblings, and Yu Lian.
After all, most Loose Cultivators in the Tianhe Realm couldn’t amass many Spirit Stones, and any small bit of resources they had they would immediately use to exchange for Magic Artifacts or talismans that could enhance their combat capability.
After working hard for a while to earn Spirit Stones from these four people, Chen Mobai reckoned he could stop the firewood business.
After doing the calculations for the potential profit, he felt that spending one hundred thousand Good Deed Points to purchase a log-chopping puppet was not worthwhile.
He further looked up the “Formless Puppet”.
However, there was no such thing directly shown on the Immortal Gate network.
As expected of the peak work of Puppetry Technique, there was actually none available on the market.
That night.
After teleporting back to Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai barely showed his face before he was approached by Yu Lian.
“Sell the Red Sun firewood to me next time.”
His tone was calm, but it didn’t allow for objections, making Chen Mobai frown.
What’s with these cultivators at Tianhe Realm being so aggressive?
At the slightest inconvenience, they began to show their displeasure.
Both Luo Yixiu and Yu Lian acted this way.
“It depends on whether or not that senior still needs to chop firewood for sword training.”
Chen Mobai said leisurely, but Yu Lian just took out a bag of Spirit Stones and walked away without a word.
“We don’t need a deposit here.”
He took the Spirit Stone Bag to the door, but Yu Lian had already disappeared without a trace.
Chen Mobai was somewhat bewildered by his forceful acquisition behaviour. He weighed the bag in his hands and was slightly taken aback.
There were actually one hundred lower-grade Spirit Stones.
According to market price where 500 pieces of Red Sun firewood equal one Spirit Stone, this bag could buy a total of fifty thousand pieces. This was practically double the price.
Was the small sect that Yu Lian inherited really that rich?
Chen Mobai couldn’t figure it out. Back at Green Light Island, Shi Pengyi and Luo Lin, both of whom were the direct disciples of a small sect, were also together worth just one Flying Sword.
Could it be that Yu Lian was a main character and had some other opportunity?
Just as he was deep in thought, a girl in palace attire with smooth white skin came to his door.
“Is Brother Chen here? Luo Yixuan pays her respects.”
The door isn’t closed, you can see me directly from the entrance, why are you asking if I’m here?
Chen Mobai was somewhat speechless at Luo Yixuan’s actions. Perhaps it’s some kind of sect tradition.
“Come in.”
After Luo Yixuan sat down, she first apologized for what happened with Luo Yixiu before and then got straight to the point. She also wanted to buy enough Red Sun firewood for her and her brother to use over the next couple of months.
“Not to hide from you, but Yu Lian just dropped off this big bag of Spirit Stones and has already reserved the next thirty thousand Red Sun firewood from that senior. You guys may have to wait until he’s done.”
Although Chen Mobai really didn’t like the strong purchase approach, with this heavy bag of Spirit Stones in his hand, he chose to forgive Yu Lian.
One simply can’t bear grudges against Spirit Stones.
“Brother Chen, you can look at our price first.”
Luo Yixuan also took out a bag of Spirit Stones with a smile. Chen Mobai didn’t take it, but by the look of its bulging shape, he estimated it to be around a hundred as well.
“Junior Sister, there is always a first-come, first-serve rule.”
He still wanted to hold back a bit, after all, he was a principled merchant.
“Brother Chen, you can totally be fair and square with everyone, just like with Brother Liu, give us each ten thousand Red Sun firewood first. For the rest, within a month’s time, I believe Brother Chen should be able to gather the quantity slowly.”
What Luo Yixuan said struck a chord with Chen Mobai.
“Junior sister makes a fair point.”
It was simple once he took it to heart.
After Chen Mobai received Luo Yixuan’s Spirit Stone Bag, he personally saw his junior sister out of the room, then enthusiastically went out to cut firewood.
But this time, to his surprise, as many as twelve people followed him out.
Twisting and turning the whole way, when he was close to the tree hole where he hid his electric saw, six people were still tailing him.
Chen Mobai, however, wasn’t blinded by the Spirit Stones and chose to give up. He retraced his steps back to Bud Hall.
“Senior brother Chen.”
Liu Wenbo greeted him at the entrance.
“That elder didn’t come out to cut firewood today.”
Chen Mobai misunderstood, thinking that Liu Wenbo also wanted to buy the Red Sun Wood logs.
“This is my tribute to that elder, please help me pass it on.”
Liu Wenbo handed over a bag of Spirit Stones to Chen Mobai, who measured it and found it to be a hundred stones as well.
But after hearing his words, Chen Mobai finally realized why both Yu Lian and Luo Yixuan were so willing to part with them.
Turns out, in their minds, these Spirit Stones weren’t for him, but for the elder he made up who cuts firewood.
“I’ll accept these three on behalf of the elder, but you don’t need to give yours.”
Although Chen Mobai liked Spirit Stones, he was unwilling to accept Liu Wenbo’s, as he still remembered the favor of receiving the Immortality Scripture from the latter.
Liu Wenbo wanted to say more, but Chen Mobai had already knocked on Yuan Chiye’s door.
“Come in.”
Seeing Chen Mobai enter Yuan Chiye’s room, Liu Wenbo could only take his bag of Spirit Stones and leave.
“What elder have you met? Why am I not that lucky?”
Yuan Chiye sounded rather sour when he saw Chen Mobai enter.
“Maybe it’s because I’m poorer.”
Chen Mobai joked, then took out the bag of Spirit Stones from Yu Lian and placed it in front of Yuan Chiye.
“What do you mean?”
Although Yuan Chiye was heavily in debt to exchange for the Foundation Building Pill, he wasn’t blinded by the bag of Spirit Stones and calmly asked.
“Didn’t senior brother mention you have an extra storage bag? I’ve always wanted one. Now that I have some Spirit Stones, I want to buy yours.”
Upon hearing Chen Mobai’s words, Yuan Chiye’s face revealed understanding. He laughed and took the Spirit Stone Bag.
“I keep my word, I’m selling it to you for eighty Spirit Stones. There are a hundred in here, you can keep the extra twenty.”
Yuan Chiye took out a palm-sized sky-blue sachet from his storage bag.
“Actually, I’ll need senior brother to turn a blind eye for this twenty.”
Chen Mobai received the storage bag, but instead of taking back the Spirit Stones, he said something that made Yuan Chiye narrow his eyes: “Elaborate.”
“We work hard every day to chop the Red Sun Wood logs. What do you think, senior brother?”
Although Yuan Chiye had pretended not to know when Liu Wenbo and the Luo siblings had bought the Red Sun Wood logs from the Earth Fire Hall, it wasn’t clear what his attitude would be if the source of the logs was Chen Mobai. Chen Mobai felt it was necessary to smooth things over.
Besides, he didn’t know when he could break the seal on the storage bag he obtained from Green Light Island, and there might be some complications to its origins, so it was perfect to buy Yuan Chiye’s bag in advance as a cover.
“You little rascal, your way of doing things truly resembles senior brother Zhou. Don’t worry. Even if you didn’t tell me, I wouldn’t dare offend the Foundation Establishment elder and interfere.”
Upon getting Yuan Chiye’s confirmation, Chen Mobai felt relieved.
In the dead of night, when he was sure no one was following him, he went out to chop firewood again.
But this time, after he finished chopping, he could put the electric saw and table saw directly into his newly purchased storage bag, no longer worrying about exposure..
