Chapter 430: There are some things you shouldn’t ask Sword Saint Xilin!
"Father, how much do you sell this candy for?"
Facts have proved that history always repeats itself in a surprisingly similar way. On a street full of dazzling array of goods, Chu Yi chose this small shop selling malt candy.
And looking at the appearance of this store, it was clearly the one that Wu Xinrou had seen this morning.
"My dear guest, a piece of maltose costs three cents."
The shopkeeper was a little cautious, and at the same time, he was looking at Tina with an expressionless face and Fanny with a gentle smile on her face.
Wow, what kind of alien race is this? It’s so good-looking. I’m afraid that even the six-tailed fox described by the storyteller would feel ashamed of itself~!
"Four, please."
Chu Yi did not take out his purse, but 12 brand new copper coins fell onto the shop floor out of thin air. The merchant did not believe that this was some kind of magic trick, and did not dare to look at it. He was not in a hurry to collect the copper coins on the shop floor, but quickly and politely offered four candies.
This is the Immortal Master. Even though this has been anticipated, we must not neglect him!
"Taste it."
Soon, two small wooden sticks appeared in the hands of Fanny, Tina and Shaoyao. Chu Yi naturally knew how to eat the Raorao candy. After a brief demonstration, the sweet but not greasy malt candy was ready to eat.
Well, it tastes pretty good, Chu Yi quickly gave a fair evaluation.
"Hello, I'm here to buy your fruit. How much is it?"
As a polite elf, Xilin naturally knew how to say hello. Looking at the basket of juicy dates in front of her, the little guy asked the price without any hesitation.
"Well, it doesn't cost silver. It's five cents a pound."
The ones selling dates were a brother and sister, they were in their teens, wearing patched coarse cloth clothes, and their malnourished faces showed a mixture of reserve and curiosity, but the brother was more reserved while the sister was more curious.
"But I only have silver. Can you sell it to me?"
No money required? This puzzled Xilin, and the little kids who followed Xilin to buy dates also started chattering.
"Yes, I see that others can buy it with silver!"
"Hmm~! Chu Yi seemed to have said that the silver can be changed!"
"But what does it mean to find it?"
"I don't know either, Xilin, why don't you ask~!"
After a discussion, the little kids once again nominated Sword Saint Xilin, trying to use the silver in their hands to exchange for the basket of dates in front of the brother and sister.
"I-we can't find it."
"How about this, we'll give you some dates for free!"
There was embarrassment on the faces of the brother and sister. One tael of silver could be exchanged for 1000 large coins. They were not serious traders. The basket of dates came from their own trees. Since they could not finish eating them, they wanted to take them to the street and sell them for some copper coins to supplement their family income. Naturally, they could not make change.
"Xilin, let's go find Chu Yi. Chu Yi will definitely have a solution!"
"Yes, Chu Yi is very powerful!"
I can’t buy dates anymore, but I can’t eat them for free. This is not my ethnic group, and buying things requires money. All the little kids understand this.
"No need to look for Chu Yi, I can handle it!"
But if he goes to Chu Yi for such trivial matters, how can he be qualified to become a sword immortal?
Even if we take a step back, doesn't Xilin have any respect?
The little wings flapped, and the girl selling dates was so happy that she wanted to give the whole basket of dates to this cute little guy who was the size of a palm, just to hug him.
"I've already bought your basket of dates. Here you go. No need to give me the change!"
But this did not pose a problem for Sword Saint Xilin. He took out a five-liang silver coin and stuffed it into the arms of his sister who looked at him in confusion. Sword Saint Xilin then picked up the bamboo basket weighing more than 100 kilograms and planned to leave in style.
"Guest, wait a moment!!"
"Isn't there enough silver?"
"No, you gave too much. A basket of dates shouldn't cost that much money!"
"Oh no! You can't find the change again. Never mind. Use the rest to buy your basket. Bye!"
Bargaining was obviously not something Xilin was good at. Amid the stunned expressions of the onlookers, Xilin held up the bamboo basket weighing over a hundred pounds with one hand and waved indifferently at the brother and sister.
The rest of the little ones also left in a hurry. These little kids who had no concept of money finally enjoyed the fun of shopping.
Although this basket of dates was a bit expensive, it did not stop the little kids from looking at the Sword Saint Silin with admiration.
This is also the reason why Chu Yi did not give any copper coins. In the market of the human world, how can one understand the taste of it without bargaining?
As to whether Sword Saint Xilin chose to spend money lavishly because he could not find the change or because of the embarrassment on the faces of the brother and sister selling dates, you have to ask the little guy himself.
"Hey~! What are you still hanging around for? There are a bunch of beautiful foreigners coming to the east market, why don't you go take a look?"
"What alien race? Are you still asleep?"
"Hey! It's up to you to go or not, I'm the first one to go anyway!"
"Tsk~! The Immortal Master's carriage showed up this morning, and now aliens are coming at noon. I'm afraid our Sancai City is going to be bustling~!"
"..."
No matter what time it is, watching the fun is the nature of ordinary people. This may be due to the curiosity that has nowhere to go, or it may just be to add some variety to this boring life.
But Chu Yi didn't want to be part of the fun. More than half an hour was enough for the elves to have a good time. Of course, the little cook Shaoyao was no exception.
So, it's time to move on to another place.
"Xilin, do you know why this place is called Sancai City?"
By the time the curious crowd ran to the east market, Chu Yi had already taken the elves for a stroll on the west street. Walking on the flat cobblestone road, Chu Yi suddenly asked Xilin such a question.
Why is Sancai City called Sancai City? For Xilin, this is like why Xilin is called Xilin? How could Sword Saint Xilin know such a thing!
"do not know!"
So the little guy answered with confidence. The Sword Saint Xilin only needs to understand the sword in his hand. It is better to ask these questions to the future Sword Saint Xilin.
As for whether the future Sword Immortal Xilin understands it or not, what does that have to do with her, the Sword Saint Xilin?
"Sancai City is famous for a sword. This sword is called Sancai Sword, but it is not a sword for sword cultivators, but a sword for mortals."
"Genius, earthly talent, and human talent. This sword combines yin and yang, hardness and softness. Although it is only a mortal sword, it is a rare and good sword."
Chu Yi spoke slowly, but his eyes were looking at an ordinary bungalow on the side of the road. The house was built of bricks and earth, and it was quite old. The mottled walls were full of traces of time. At the door of the house stood an old crooked willow tree. Under the old willow tree stood a small stool, and on the small stool sat a thin old man in linen clothes.
A breeze blew by, carrying Chu Yi's words into the old man's ears without missing a word. Fanny and Tina also looked over curiously.
"I didn't expect such a distinguished guest to come to visit. Please forgive me for my disrespect."
The old man stood up and bowed slowly.
Sancai City has a history of thousands of years, and not many people know about the Sancai Sword now.
