Clan Prosperity Starting With My Servant Girls-Chapter 359: Toad Statue

When Lin Xuan Qi got into Wan Shou Fang, he saw many vendors selling their wares along the streets.

But this time, it was different. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Some had Spirit Stones for sale, while some had items that looked like artifacts.

There were also things that Lin Xuan Qi had never seen before.

Body parts that looked like they belonged to beasts lay out in front of what seemed to be a butcher’s stall.

But these beasts were very much different from what he had seen before.

There was a deer’s head with a horn growing out of its forehead, and there were also legs of beasts that had scales covering them.

"All the demonic beast meat is fresh, come closer and have a look." The burly man with his cleaver in his hands called out when he saw Lin Xuan Qi glancing at what was on display from a distance.

"How much for one?" Lin Xuan Qi pointed at a leg of a beast and asked, trying to gauge the prices of things in Wan Shou Fang.

"This? This leg of the lizard goat is great for the Nine Beast Qi Pill." The stall owner hovered his cleaver over the leg and said, "It’ll cost you half a spirit stone."

"Half a spirit stone?" Lin Xuan Qi frowned and shook his head.

It was equivalent to five taels of gold.

Things that were for cultivators were many times more expensive than those that were for mortals.

He could understand why those clans and families had so many businesses now.

"It is the best price around here, you wouldn’t get a better price anywhere else." The burly man tried to persuade Lin Xuan Qi, but Lin Xuan Qi gave him a smile and walked away.

Thud.

The burly man plunged his cleaver onto the chopping board and grumbled as he watched Lin Xuan Qi walk further away.

Lin Xuan Qi continued on and asked around.

Things were as expensive as he thought they would be.

One talisman cost a Spirit Stone while Artifacts started at five Spirit Stones.

He felt his goal of getting a storage Artifact was dashed when he got to the end of Wan Shou Fang.

Here, the atmosphere was much different.

The cultivators from the big clans and sects were few and far between.

All around him were rogue cultivators.

Even the stall owners looked much more grumpy than the burly man with the cleaver he had encountered earlier.

Lin Xuan Qi lowered his head and walked up to one of the stalls.

There were many artifacts on sale but all of them seemed to be broken or had cracks on them.

"Do you have any storage Artifacts?" He asked, and the old man tending to the store lifted his head and frowned at him.

The old man couldn’t sense any Spirit Qi from Lin Xuan Qi and thought that Lin Xuan Qi was either a servant coming here on behalf of his master, or a cultivator who could hide his Spirit Qi.

Having seen so many things throughout his years, the old man thought that it was the latter.

To live a long life as a cultivator, it was always better to be safe than sorry.

The old man pointed at a small toad statue with its side chipped off and said, "That is a storage Artifact, but due to the damage it sustained during battle, the storage area inside it can only hold something as big as this."

He turned around and pointed to a chest he had behind his stall.

Lin Xuan Qi saw that the chest was around one meter long and half a meter in width and height.

It wouldn’t help much even if he bought the storage Artifact.

If that were the case, he would only be able to store one of his wooden chests inside it.

The old man shrugged, thinking that Lin Xuan Qi wouldn’t be interested in the storage Artifact.

But Lin Xuan Qi recalled what had happened previously when he used his Five-Element Qi with the turtle shell artifact from Sima Long’s guard.

"How much is it?" He asked.

"Half a Spirit Stone." The old man replied.

"Can I have a look?" He asked, and the old man nodded his head.

Lin Xuan Qi picked up the small toad statue and directed his Five-Element Qi into it.

The toad statue gave out a bright red glow from the inscriptions that were carved on its body.

Something entered his mind and it was a space the size of a room, instead of the chest that the old man had mentioned.

His hunch was right.

Using his Five-Element Qi, he was able to get many times the effect of someone else using Spirit Qi.

Lin Xuan Qi stopped directing his Five-Element Qi and glanced at the old man.

The old man had his eyes and mouth wide open.

It was the first time he had seen the toad statue give out such a bright glow.

Lin Xuan Qi must have been an ancestor who could hide his cultivation level, the old man thought.

"Here, take this." Lin Xuan Qi took out five taels of gold and placed them on the old man’s stall, "I don’t have Spirit Stones with me so these should do."

The old man smiled, fearing that he would antagonize Lin Xuan Qi, nodded his head and said, "Yes, it will do."

Lin Xuan Qi shopped around and got other items from the other stores.

He bought some yellow papers and materials that could be used for talismans, which used up the other five taels of gold he had left.

Lin Xuan Qi planned to begin learning about talismans from the Daoist Five-Element Cultivation Techniques.

After he was done, Lin Xuan Qi left Wan Shou Fang and headed back to the house.

"Old man, what did that young man buy?" A rogue cultivator came up to the old man and asked.

The old man frowned and shook his head, "I wouldn’t try to be funny if I were you, Seng."

The rogue cultivator, Seng, smiled and showed his crooked teeth.

"I’m sure I need to let the young cultivator know that it is dangerous out here..."
