Chapter 236: Li Family Refining Workshop
"This red bone staff can be considered a fine product, valued at one thousand two hundred spiritual stones. The pink folding fan is of average quality and can only be valued at nine hundred spiritual stones."
"What do you think, friend?"
Jia Fu assessed the items for a moment and then reported the prices.
This time he did not deliberately lower the price; otherwise, it would push the customer away.
"Alright, let’s go with this price."
Liu Yu had estimated the prices in his mind to be about the same. After thinking for a moment, he nodded in agreement.
"Friend, please confirm."
Upon hearing the affirmative response, Jia Fu’s plump hand reached into his storage bag, and twenty-one medium-grade spiritual stones appeared on the table. He then maintained a polite smile and said, "Liu, I still have urgent matters to attend to, so I must take my leave!"
Liu Yu scanned the stones with his spiritual consciousness, quickly confirming their quantity and authenticity. He then tucked the spiritual stones into his sleeve and stood up, slightly cupping his hands in a gesture of respect as he spoke.
"Since Liu friend has pressing matters, I won’t keep you any longer. Please!"
Jia Fu also stood up and personally escorted him downstairs, handing Liu Yu a packet of "Qinghu Longjing" as he did so.
Even for him, Liu Yu was a genuine "big customer," spending much more generously than the average cultivators, so it was worth it to lower his stance and establish a good rapport.
At this moment, the time had entered the latter half of the Yin hour, but the flow of people in the East Market was only slightly less than during the day.
Qi refinement stage cultivators could go days and nights without rest, so for cultivators, the distinction between day and night wasn’t significant. They would come out to buy and sell items whenever needed, unaffected by the cycle of day and night, and shops naturally remained open.
A short distance away stood a large lamp, with a nearly transparent lampshade containing a sunstone, illuminating the surroundings as bright as day.
The white and yellow lamps lit up the main street of Moonlit City, making it resemble a "city that never sleeps."
Leaving the Treasure Pavilion, Liu Yu walked along the street on his left.
Having spent many years in Moonlit City, he was quite familiar with it and naturally knew where to go to repair the Azure Flood Halberd.
Simply repairing it didn’t require as high a standard in refining; there was no need to seek out famous refiners; even those in small shops and workshops could do the job.
After all, the spiritual artifact was obtained from Xie Junjie, and there was a chance he might run into someone from the same sect in larger shops or even find a cultivator who used this treasure. Out of caution, Liu Yu decided to go to a small workshop for the repairs.
Following the brightly lit street and passing through the sparse crowd, ignoring the awe and respect in the eyes of the younger qi refinement cultivators, Liu Yu walked expressionlessly to the street on the left of the East Market.
This area had the most shops selling magical artifacts, and there were quite a few that accepted custom orders. Many small shops operated solely in the refining business, including but not limited to crafting, selling, and repairing magical and spiritual artifacts.
Liu Yu’s goal for this trip was clear: he was looking for these small workshops that only dealt with magical artifact business.
His pace was neither hurried nor slow, dressed in a green robe, his expression calm as his gaze casually passed over the shop signs on either side.
The qi refinement cultivators coming towards him would obediently step aside, allowing the elder to go first.
"Li Family Refining Workshop"
Not long after, Liu Yu stopped and set his gaze on this small shop, stepping inside.
This small workshop wasn’t very large, but due to its owner’s exquisite refining skills and honest business practices, it enjoyed a good reputation and was doing fairly well.
