Chapter 159: Old Customer
le.Once the jade box was taken out.He looked at Chen Feng: "Take a look, how much is this thing worth"Upon hearing this.Morning wind, taking three steps forward but only two, opened the jade box and s...Compared to yesterday when he came to the demon-slaying hall, Shen Changqing walked with much more confidence today, having gained three hundred merit points.
Enter the Hall of Fame.
It's still the same person from yesterday.
When he saw Shen Changqing, a smile appeared on his face.
"Mr. Shen, what brings you here today"
"I'm going to exchange something."
“Oh I wonder what Lord Shen would like to exchange”
The old man's face was full of surprise. After glancing at Shen Changqing’s identity token according to custom, he returned it.
Next.
Then, just bring out the exchange list again.
>
He was a high-ranking demon slayer, and an exceptionally promising one at that. He was also given the utmost respect.
Looking at the list before him, Shen Changqing didn't flip through it. Instead, he took out a pale gold talisman from his bosom and placed it on the counter.
"I want to exchange one hundred grams of Enlightenment Tea!"
Awaken Tea!
Born deep within the Ten Thousand Mountains, this spirit tea is cultivated from the essence of heaven and earth's spiritual energy. Consuming it allows martial artists to nourish their spirits and comprehend the ultimate principles of martial arts.
It is obvious.
This is a spirit-restoring spiritual tea. As for comprehending the principles of martial arts, Shen Changqing held a half-believing, half-skeptical attitude.
Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
If one truly understands the principles of martial arts, then even if the price of Enlightenment Tea were to increase tenfold or a hundredfold, it would still be worthwhile.
However.
It's also possible that long-term use may be needed to achieve such effects, and that's not necessarily guaranteed.
As for him.
It's all child's play to comprehend the principles of martial arts.
On the contrary.
> Cultivating one's spirit is the truly important thing.
Upon seeing the pale gold鎮魔幣, the elder's face changed slightly.
A demon-repelling coin.
One equals one hundred meritorious deeds.
Not everyone can have a hundred merits. Among the many Earth-rank demon slayers he had seen, those with pale gold suppression coins were rare.
But he didn't hesitate, grabbing the pale golden talisman.
"Enlightenment Tea, one point of merit can be exchanged for one gram. Now Lord Shen uses one hundred points of merit to exchange for one hundred grams."
As usual, he said.
The old man then turned around and walked into the storeroom, where all the treasures were kept.
A moment later.
He walked back out, with an emerald green jar, like jade, in his hand.
"Dao Tea is a spiritual tea that must be stored in jade to ensure the spiritual energy does not dissipate. There are one hundred grams of spiritual tea in the jar now, Master Shen can take a look."
The emerald-green gourd was only the size of two adult palms.
After receiving it, Shen Changqing opened the lid.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
Suddenly.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
There was a strong spiritual energy mixed with a refreshing fragrance that hit my face. When I looked closer, I saw that there were quite a few leaves inside.
The leaves are the size of a finger, emerald green and glistening, looking as if they were just picked. Their veins are clearly visible.
Just took a quick glance.
He then resealed the can.
As the elder said, the spiritual energy in the Tao enlightenment tea is very potent and needs to be sealed with jade. If too much of the spiritual energy leaks out, then the effect of the spirit tea will be greatly reduced.
>
"That's right."
This should be the end of a paragraph.
"Can I exchange merit points for silver here"
Shen Changqing put the can aside and thought of something.
On hearing this.
The old man was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted, a professional smile appearing on his face.
“Lord Shen, you jest. Merits are a unique resource of the Demon Suppression Division, how could they be traded This is strictly prohibited within the Division.”
"I see."
Then Shen Changqing suddenly realized.
He also heard the old man's subtext. It was forbidden within the Demon Suppression Division, but outside of it, trading was permitted.
Immediately.
A slight smile appeared on his face, and his voice became much lower.
"May I ask, what is the exchange rate"
Upon seeing this.
The old man glanced left and right, making sure no one had noticed him, before cautiously replying.
If Master Shen really has an idea, the price in the black market would probably be about one to one hundred.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
One to one hundred.
A little bit of achievement can be exchanged for one hundred taels of silver.
The price didn't surprise Shen Changqing much.
It's understandable that with such meager rewards for slaying a demon – only a few points of merit, which translates to a few hundred ounces of silver – it would be difficult to find someone willing to undertake such a task.
He paused for a moment.
The elder spoke again in a mysterious tone: “Actually, merit is priceless on the black market. After all, things you can buy with silver aren't particularly valuable. But what the Demon Suppression Division exchanges for merit are mostly treasures.”
Not to mention, the Wudao tea in your hand, Mr. Shen, would be priceless on the outside market.
Well then, if Lord Shen truly intends to sell his merit points, this old man could help you find a way. Selling them for twice their worth isn't entirely impossible."
one to two hundred.
One hundred achievements equal twenty thousand taels of silver.
Looking at the person in front of me, one second they seemed selfless and generous, the next they changed completely.
That's it.
Shen Changqing shook his head and smiled wryly: "Shen is just asking, the achievements in my hand are not enough for me to use, where can I have any surplus achievements to sell."
"It's no problem, with Sir Shen's talent and ability, earning merit in the future will be as easy as turning your hand over. If Sir Shen has any ideas in the future, feel free to come find me at any time."
By the way, my name is Jíqu.
The old man smiled.
>
>
The music has started.
Shen Changqing muttered the name, then nodded.
"Shen Mou recorded it, and said goodbye!"
“By the way, if Master Shen wants to brew Enlightenment tea properly, it's best to use jade teaware. This will maximize the preservation of spiritual energy, and the effects will be optimal.”
"Good."
After leaving the Zhanyao Hall, Shen Changqing first returned to his room and put down the tea for enlightenment. Then he left the Town Demon Division and went to the Treasure Pavilion.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
This is not his first time coming.
As soon as I arrived at the Treasure Pavilion, someone came up to me.
"May I ask, young hero, if this is your first time coming to our Treasure Pavilion"
He instinctively thought that the man with a sword strapped to his waist, Shen Changqing, was a young hero from the rivers and lakes.
Judging by his appearance, Shen Changqing in a blue robe doesn't look very old.
"I'm looking for Huang Yan."
“Oh, you're here to see Master Huang Please come in and have a seat. I'll go inform him right away.”
This text is an empty tag and does not contain any content to translate.
His face immediately became respectful.
He immediately asked for Huang Yan, and his tone was not ordinary, clearly indicating that he was also someone important.
As for such a person, he dared not offend him in any way.
Immediately.
Then the person brought Shen Changqing to the side room and waited. Afterwards, they left to report.
It took about a minute.
A knock on the door sounded.
After Shen Changqing said that in a nonchalant tone, someone pushed the door open.
The visitor was Huang Yan, whom I had met briefly last time.
Upon seeing Shen Changqing.
The steward of the Treasure Pavilion first looked puzzled, but in less than a breath, he reacted, his face showing an expression of shock.
Here is the English translation of your text:
"Huang [Surname] didn't know that it was Mr. Shen who had arrived, so he didn't go to greet him in advance. I hope Mr. Shen won't take offense!"
>
When he spoke, he bowed repeatedly, his attitude almost to the point of fawning.
Upon seeing this.
Shen Changqing smiled.
"Mr. Huang, there is no need to be so polite."
"Haha, Huang certainly knows all about Shen's deeds. He is truly remarkable! Throughout history, there are few who have dared to fight alone amidst thousands of soldiers and slay a barbarian general."
Moreover, the barbarian general was a renowned master. Now, Mr. Shen has truly made his mark as a formidable warrior.
It would be a great honor for the Treasure Pavilion if you could come.
>Huang Yanhua's words were all flattery.
No way.
What Shen Changqing did was truly shocking, and now, anyone in the Jianghu who hears his name knows him.
As soon as he heard the news, he thought of Shen Changqing, who had previously come to Zhānbǎo Ge.
Everyone says there's a possibility of having the same name.
That's all.
It's too much of a coincidence that they both came from the Demon Suppression Division and share the same name, Shen Changqing.
Therefore, in Huang Yan's view, the Jianghu rumor about Shen Changqing was just the strong man he had met at the Treasure Pavilion before.
But he didn't expect that.
The other party came to the Treasure Pavilion so quickly.
Faced with flattery, Shen Changqing had a faint smile on his face, but it wasn't too obvious.
"Huang, the steward, is joking. It's just a little bit of fame,"
"Lord Shen, your visit to the Treasure Pavilion today, what needs do you have Please feel free to speak openly. Huang will do everything he can to fulfill your request."
Huang Yan patted his chest and said with certainty.
Upon hearing this.
Shen Changqing was straightforward.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“I want to purchase a set of jade teaware, preferably of the highest quality.”
Since Ji Qu said that jade teaware is best for brewing Ling Tea, why not buy a set Anyway, I have some silver on hand, might as well spend it.
At his current level, that amount of silver wouldn't be much use.
Things that are affordable usually have little effect on a grandmaster.
Like pills for Qi and blood or true qi, they only work if you take a large amount. But who would carry around a huge pile of pills every day Even if you stuffed your whole body with them, you couldn't fit many.
“Porcelain teaware.”
Huang Yian muttered something, then tentatively asked a question.
“As for the jade teaware in the Treasure Pavilion, there are indeed some. Huang dares to ask presumptuously, Master Shen, will you be using this teaware to brew the spirit tea”
"Huang, the steward, also has research on Spirit Tea"
Shen Changqing was surprised.
He thought Huang Yan might not understand Lingcha, but now it seems that only he just understood about Lingcha. Others seem to know a lot about Lingcha.
"Mr. Shen, you're joking. There are also some spiritual teas for sale in the Treasure Pavilion, and I have done some research on them."
"The Treasure Pavilion also has spiritual tea, I wonder what kind of spiritual tea it is"
>
Shen Changqing's heart moved.
If Treasure Pavilion also sold Spirit Tea, then things would be much simpler. In the future, when there was no merit to be gained, one could completely purchase it with silver taels.
... compared to the difficulty of acquiring achievements.
Silver, on the other hand, was easier to obtain.
Huang Yan said: “The Treasure Pavilion has five-treasure tea that nourishes the physical body, qi-nurturing tea that nourishes true qi, and nourishing spirit tea that nourishes the spirit. The three kinds of spiritual teas are all priced at one hundred taels of silver per gram.”
Mr. Shen is a regular customer of the Treasure Pavilion, so Huang could make a private deal and give him a discount. If he wanted to buy it, eighty taels per ounce would be fine..----Aside----Book recommendations:The book title is "When I Can't Be a Son-in-Law, I Have to Become a Saint."
