Lady Lin's First-ever Journey to Immortality Lady Lin's First–ever Journey to Immortality Chapter 393

Chapter 393 Beating People and Getting Paid

The girl in the red dress has obviously learned some martial arts. Otherwise the whip will not be so powerful.

She is quite an arrogant young woman. Seeing the little fire fox in a bamboo cage from far away, she comes to Azhi's stand condescendingly. This girl will never take insignificant others seriously.

Lin Luoran puts a hand on the bamboo cage to stop her from taking the fire fox and then leaving. The red dress girl finally looks at her seriously.

Lin Luoran is more than 1.7 meters high which is kind of tall among Asian women, not to mention in this ancient place. The girl in the red dress can know at a glance that the bracelet with a round translucent pearl on her wrist is very valuable. She wears a very simple bluish white dress but the material is very special and this girl has never seen it before.

Her skin color is not very fair so her facial features don't look very stunning. However, her eyes are bright, seeming to have the ability to see through everyone. The red dress girl somewhat feels guilty.

“You are so strange. I have paid the money and now you don't allow me to take the goods?”

This woman is just bullying her relying on her stronger martial arts. The red dress girl feels extremely angry about it. At the end of the street, it gradually becomes noisier and noisier. An old man with gray hair rushes here with some servants and the girl in the red dress immediately changes her face.

Lin Luoran can see that she wants to avoid the people from the end of the street. But what does this have to do with her?

“Is the money enough to buy this little fire fox?” Lin Luoran turns to ask honest Azhi.

Azhi finally realizes it at the moment. He weighs the golden beans in his hands and shakes his head, “Other hunters in the village have captured fire foxes. One fox can be sell at least 12 taels of silver.”

The gold-silver exchange rate is one tael of gold for ten taels of silver. The red dress girl obviously only uses these golden beans as tips. There are no more than one tael of gold in total. Azhi weighs them and feels her price is not reasonable so he disagrees.

Spending a few days with Azhi, Lin Luoran generally knows something about this young boy. He is not very high in emotional intelligence but his IQ is not low. What he believes is that it takes hard work to get paid. Since he said that the fire fox values ten taels of silver, then it must be ten taels—in fact, he is still a little bit too honest. The price has soared and the purchasing power of ten taels of silver has declined seriously. In this case, he should also sell the fire fox at a higher price.

Lin Luoran raises her eyebrow, “Did you hear that?”

The red dress girl is very annoyed, thinking that the two are ripping her off. She then slashes a whip towards Lin Luoran.

Lin Luoran doesn't want to stoop to this arrogant girl's level. As her personal ability grows, few people will be so rampant in front of her. A cultivator is still a person. Lin Luoran now gets a little angry. Instead of avoiding it, she grabs the whip.

With a little strength, she pulls the red dress girl off the horse.

Lin Luoran only wants to teach her a small lesson. The old man from the end of the street sees it and thinks she is going to punish the girl. He shouts loudly.

“Our lady is young and immature. If she has offended you, the bigger person does not care about the smaller one's mistake. Please forgive her, my lady. The old man thanks you for your mercy.”

He is sweaty and finally pushes through the crowd.

Lin Luoran snorts and let go of her hand and the red dress girl falls to the ground. The old man followed by a large group of people encircle this girl immediately. They don't even ride on horses and just leave the street without looking back.

“Hey, your golden beans!”

The golden beans held by Azhi seem to be burning hot. Azhi grabs a servant and gives them to him.

When these people leave, onlookers begin to gabble. The surname of the red dress girl is Mu. Her family has caravans and always travels between Penglai and Ying. The Mu family is an extremely rich family. People all say that black-faced Azhi and Lin Luoran have offended the Mus and neither of them will get a happy ending.

After gossiping, the onlookers leave immediately. They may be afraid that the Mu family may mess with them.

Lin Luoran doesn't feel very comfortable after hearing this. She can just leave this place. However, for Azhi's family, it is really a big deal to offend some wealthy businessmen.

Azhi is totally innocent. He doesn't seem to realize it at all and is just worrying about who will buy this fire fox after this incident.

Lin Luoran thinks for a while and asks him to go to the noodle shop nearby to wait for her. She will try to contact her family.

Azhi nods. This is just a subordinate county of Feng City. If Lin Luoran's family has some power in Feng City, her family may own some shops in this county.

Lin Luoran says goodbye to Azhi. Now she obviously needs some mundane currency. The gold from the Dragon Palace in space is too eye-catching. Ordinary people here only use copper coins and even silver is rare here.

What can she exchange for money? If she just exchanges gold with money, it is totally not worthwhile. The gold of the Dragon Palace is in excellent condition and it is purer than the pure gold of later generations. If she exchanges it with the silver at this era, it will be a total loss. It's not Lin Luoran's usual style as a frugal person.

There are still many emeralds absorbing Reiki in space. Lin Luoran thinks about it and picks a piece of emerald with good texture. She cuts it into many teardrop-shaped small emeralds with Wakan and then melts some gold around them. A set of golden hairpins with emeralds is made.

This is a set of twelve-flower Tian-tsui hairpins. The delicate golden lines of plum petals can be seen; peony petals are extremely thin and of celestial beauty… Lin Luoran has not yet reached the silver shop but she has made this set of hairpins.

As the saying goes, strong horse with strong saddle; only with the excellent packaging, can the valuable jewelry show its dignity and elegance. Lin Luoran takes out an iron pheobe box she made in the mountain and places these flower hairpins in it. It looks much more high-class.

Lin Luoran looks at these various flower hairpins and she remembers something else. Baojia is very fond of jewelry design. In the past, she often lamented the loss of ancient art. Many modern skills were not as good as ancient ones and her designs couldn't be made. If Baojia is awake at this time, she may not have to worry about jewelry skills with cultivators' ability.

Lin Luoran brings her attention back. She takes this set of flower hairpins to the silver shop.

She has a good temperament and the servant is not snobbish at all. The guy asks the old shopkeeper to come out and she gets a high price of 1,200 taels. It is so easy to sell these hairpins.

Lin Luoran changes the money into a “flying ticket” similar to a bank note. She only changes the rest two hundred taels into silver ingots with her. In a good mood, she gives the iron phoebe box to the silver shop for free and then she just leaves.

All servants gather around to take a look at the jewelry in the box. In this small county town, two hundred taels of silver have already been a big deal, not to mention this thing is worth 1,200 taels.

“Boss, 1,200 taels of silver? Who will want to buy this thing?”

The old shopkeeper touches his goatee, “You have no idea. Just go to do your job.”

Someone will definitely buy it. The great caravan of the Mu family just returns to this county. The young lady of the family is in her golden age. There may never be another set of gorgeous hairpins in this county. Isn't she the best buyer?

Even if the Mu family does not want it, some rich ladies in the big city will be crazy for it.

All business people are profiteers. The old shopkeeper can see much money rolling in towards him.

…

Lin Luoran takes the money out of the native bank and she is thinking about how to persuade Azhi to accept it. At this moment, she hears two youngsters in the bank taking about something: a famous school in Feng City is recruiting apprentices. They don't have enough money to send a present but they really want to try.

Penglai always advocates martial arts so people who learn martial arts have a very high social status here. Lin Luoran accidentally knows that Azhi is also very interested in it.

She thinks about it and deposits the money in the bank. She gets a hollow bronze lock from the bank and puts the flying ticket in it. The poor turns to knowledge and the rich turns to martial arts. It takes a lot of money to succeed in martial arts. Money works just like spirit herbs and spirit stone for cultivators. These one thousand taels can only serve as the base fare for Azhi to learn martial arts.

A chance acquaintance sometimes means fate. Lin Luoran does not mind helping Azhi as long as she can.

Not long after she leaves, a broker sees her as a lonely foreign woman and he comes to talk with her. Lin Luoran remembers Azhi still doesn't sell the fire fox so she suddenly gets an idea.

They have offended the Mu family so it will be difficult for him to sell the fox in the county. Lin Luoran tells something to the broker and says goodbye to him. She then goes to Azhi.

This honest boy is still waiting for her at the noodle stand. He feels embarrassed without spending any money here so he orders a bowl of Yangchun Noodle and is now eating slowly. “Yangchun” actually means “Spring Days”. It sounds great but it was actually beautified by the ancients. In fact, it is just plain noodle without any ingredients but some chopped green onion.

Yangchun noodle is definitely the cheapest with the price of three coins per bowl. Azhi is really frugal.

“Azhi, Sister Lin treats you Braised Meat Noodle! Boss, a plate of good braised pork and two bowls of noodle please!”

Azhi smiles and finishes the noodle in his bowl quickly. He then puts it down and asks, “Sister Lin, did you get some news from your family?”

Lin Luoran nods, “Of course, where do I get the money to buy you noodle? We are good. I can afford Braised pork as much as you want.”

Azhi laughs at ease. It may because they have enough money for noodle or Lin Luoran finally gets in touch with her family. He gives a lot of braised meat to Lin Luoran and then puts the rest in his big bowl. Azhi gobbles very quickly. Lin Luoran is about to tell him the news about enrollment in Feng City when the broker comes here in a business man's costume. At a glance, he wants to buy Azhi's little fire fox.

His price is eleven taels and Azhi is very happy to sell him the fire fox.

Together with the money of selling bacon and leather goods, he has more than a dozen taels. The boy has so much money for the first time in the same day. He can hardly contain himself.

All good things must come to an end and Lin Luoran still has to find Penglai. She hasn't got time to say goodbye yet. Azhi suddenly says considerately that he has to send Lin Luoran home because it is getting late.

How can she reach her family? If she had known he is such a straightforward person, she should have asked the broker to pretend to be her family.

“Aren't you going to buy a bow? I'm not in a hurry. I can accompany you to buy a bow first! ”

The street is crowded. She can only tell him things in a quiet place. Lin Luoran pays the money and is about to take Azhi to the weapon shop. At this moment, here comes a team from the street.

The old man with white hair is in it. Lin Luoran smiles gently.

The Mu family is a bit slow and she has been waiting here for so long. Lin Luoran always helps others to the end. If she doesn't solve this problem, what she does to keep the fire fox will actually hurt the Azhi family.

“Lady, I am the manager of the Mu family. Our lady offended you just now. Please don't blame her… My boss runs a lot of business so he can only ask me to bring this gift. Please do accept it.”

Lin Luoran glances at the small wooden box held by the manager. She can see there are some silver ingots inside.

Hey, after she beats the daughter of the Mu Family, she can get paid? What a good thing… Even if Lin Luoran is a cultivator, she still can't contain her surprise.
