Chapter 15 The Old Courtesan of Yuanlai Tower.

Yuanlai Building.

The building has three floors and contains tens of thousands of treasures.

When he stepped into it, the dazzling array of spiritual materials and objects on the first floor alone made Su Qing dazzled, and there were many things that interested him.

"Brother Su, you haven't come for a while. Our store has recently added a lot of new goods. Brother Dao, take your time to look at them. If you need anything, come to me!"

A plump middle-aged beautiful woman came to Su Qing and greeted her warmly.

"Brother Wang thinks too highly of me. I can't afford the things in Yuanlai Building."

Su Qing waved his hand at Wang Rong, indicating that he was a poor ghost. Although the high-end goods in Yuanlai Building looked good, they were also very expensive, and were far inferior to the cheap and beautiful goods in Baibao Pavilion.

Seeing that Su Qing had no intention of spending money, Wang Rong curled her lips when she heard the words, and the smile on her face suddenly decreased a little.

When she was young, she was a popular courtesan in Hongxiufang. Later, she was old and her beauty faded. With her skills in dancing with long sleeves, she transformed herself to Yuanlailou in time. After some hard work, she became the deputy owner of the building.

She has been doing business that makes others pay. Can she not tell who is rich and who is not?

She and Su Qing are old acquaintances. In the past six months, this first-level puppet master has come to Yuanlailou to sell puppet materials several times, and each time he left with thousands of spirit crystals.

She knew that those materials were from Baibao Pavilion. It was not uncommon for puppet masters to make money from materials. The puppet masters of Yuanlailou also went to Baibao Pavilion to resell materials.

For this, Baibao Pavilion and Yuanlailou are tacitly aware of it. The two shops will even check each other's accounts to estimate the approximate success rate of each puppet master, talisman maker, and weapon refiner. In this way, the next time you place an order with them, you can also appropriately reduce the materials.

From the materials Su Qing sold her, she calculated that Su Qing's success rate in refining first-level low-quality puppets was at least 40%, and that of first-level medium-quality puppets was more than 20%. Such a success rate was simply outstanding among first-level puppet masters, and was not much inferior to some puppet masters who were promoted to the second level with unpopular runes.

No one would believe such a puppet master who said he had no spiritual crystals. Unfortunately, no matter how eloquent Wang Rong was, Su Qing remained unmoved. He did not spend any of the spiritual crystals earned from Yuanlai Building in Yuanlai Building.

This made her angry, but she had no way to deal with it.

"Why, Yuanlai Building only sells goods now and does not accept them?"

Su Qing ignored the resentment on Wang Rong's face and asked with a smile.

"Accept, why not, accept as many as you can!" Wang Rong said with great wealth. Although the profit of accepting goods was not as big as selling goods, a mosquito was still meat no matter how small it was, and she had no reason to refuse.

The two came to a single secret room, and Su Qing poured out a pile of materials from the storage bag.

Wang Rong, who was originally careless and only prepared to have the goods weighed, changed her expression after seeing these materials.

"These... these are the materials for refining the witch puppet. I didn't expect that this witch puppet was made by a fellow Taoist. We thought that Baibao Pavilion was losing money to gain publicity and deliberately trying to please Yunshan Sect."

It's no wonder that Wang Rong was surprised. Recently, there were witch puppets auctioned at auctions in major markets in Yunshan Sect and Yumo Sect. Because they hit the XP of some cultivators, they were sought after. However, a first-level middle-grade puppet could be sold at the price of a first-level upper-grade.

Because the bionic runes on it are one of the most difficult runes to draw in the cultivation world, many cultivators tacitly assume that such puppets are difficult to refine except for second-level puppet masters.

It was not cost-effective to hire a second-level puppet master to refine a first-level puppet. Therefore, Yuanlailou only thought that Baibao Pavilion would only lose money in this deal and had no intention of hiring a second-level puppet master.

But now, when Wang Rong learned that the witch puppet was made by Su Qing, she realized that Baibao Pavilion made a lot of money in this deal!

Her beautiful eyes moved, and her charming demeanor reappeared. She smiled and said to Su Qing:

"You are such a skilled puppet master. It is a bit of a waste of talent to be a guest of Baibao Pavilion. Why don't you come to my Yuanlai Tower? I can guarantee that the benefits of being a guest of my Yuanlai Tower will not be less than that of Baibao Pavilion."

"Thank you, fellow Taoist. Although I am just a casual cultivator, I also know the principle of not selling my body to two masters. Manager Liu treats me well, so I won't come to Yuanlai Tower to embarrass myself."

Su Qing had no interest in Wang Rong's recruitment. Baibao Pavilion was indeed weaker than Yuanlai Tower, but compared with Baibao Pavilion, which did not have too many restrictions on guests, Yuanlai Tower had more restrictions on guests.

For example, guests of Yuanlai Tower could only sell some puppets approved by Yuanlai Tower. If they sold puppets without authorization, the combat cultivators raised by Yuanlai Tower would be extremely cruel to their guests.

Su Qing could not accept this alone, so he could only refuse with a cold face.

Wang Rong was irritated by Su Qing's words that she would not sell her clothes to two masters. She thought Su Qing was mocking her, and she did not show any good face to Su Qing during the following sales process.

Su Qing did not want to explain. After all, Wang Rong was just a receptionist at the front desk of Yuanlai Building, and did not have much authority. However, he felt that it was easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with the little ghosts. In order to avoid unnecessary twists and turns in the future sales, he received more than 3,400 spiritual crystals in payment.

He reluctantly bought a first-level low-grade robe, which added 1,800 spiritual crystals to Wang Rong's performance, which made the old courtesan of Hongxiufang smile again.

·····

"Damn it, she changed her face so quickly, she must have done it on purpose just now, with such sales skills, no wonder she can become the deputy owner!"

Su Qing couldn't help but feel distressed after spending most of the spiritual crystals he got, but then he thought that he really needed the robes, and his mood recovered quickly.

As soon as he stepped out of Yuanlai Building, he put on the robe.

The first-level low-grade robe has various runes engraved inside, which can be combined to form many first-level Taoist arts such as cleansing, self-defense, exorcism, waterproofing, etc. The function is extremely practical, which makes Su Qing feel much better.

Seeing that it was not too late, he hurried to the stall area, took half of the stall of the Taoist selling talismans, put up two witch puppets, and started selling.

But after half an hour, many people asked the price, but no one made a deal.

Just when Su Qing thought that it was because of the recent tense atmosphere in the market that the monks were no longer willing to spend money on their desires.

He looked up and saw that in the corner of the stall area, there was a spirit house with more than ten single rooms.

One by one, the male cultivators lined up outside, and in front of the line, three or five beautiful female cultivators smiled and greeted and sent off.

On the roof of the spiritual house, a beautiful female cultivator was sitting on a recliner, cracking melon seeds leisurely. Suddenly, she met Su Qing's eyes, and her eyes suddenly lit up, and she landed next to Su Qing like the wind.

"I was just looking for you. The business of the Passionate Secret Doll is really good, especially the witch puppet. Five spirit crystals at a time, those male cultivators don't bargain. Give me a few more, I want witch puppets!"

Seeing Tang Wanqing's eyes shining, Su Qing understood why his witch puppets couldn't be sold.

A witch puppet of three to five hundred spirit crystals is too expensive for ordinary cultivators.

But if it is five spirit crystals, you can taste the taste of a witch, and ordinary male cultivators are really willing to spend it!
