“A hundred top-grade medicinal pills?”
“Doesn’t that amount to a thousand high-grade spirit stones?”
Several shop assistants were shocked by Wu Longyue’s generous offer, and upon hearing her inquire about other items, they began to introduce them right away.
“We also have medicinal pills that can enhance physical constitution. These pills can help temper one’s physical quality. One high-grade spirit stone each.”
As soon as the topic of tempering physical quality came up, Wu Longyue thought of Song Cha’s frail constitution and said, “Give me a hundred top-grade ones.”
“Alright.”
“We also have beautifying pills. Taking these pills can make a female cultivator more beautiful without any side effects.”
“Do you have top-grade ones?”
“Yes, these top-grade medicinal pills cost thirty high-grade spirit stones each.”
Thirty high-grade spirit stones were indeed a hefty price. But the buyer was Wu Longyue, and as soon as the shop assistant mentioned Song Cha, Wu Longyue thought of Song Cha’s appearance.
Song Cha was already very beautiful, and she always dressed exquisitely every day. Such a Song Cha would definitely like these pills.
“Three hundred,” Wu Longyue said without hesitation.
“Okay, three hundred top-grade beautifying pills will cost nine thousand high-grade spirit stones,” said the shop assistant, who couldn’t help but glance at Wu Longyue’s storage ring, “Would you like to see anything else?”
Clearly, the shop assistant was worried that Wu Longyue might not have enough spirit stones.
But the shop assistant’s concern was unnecessary. In all her years in this world, Wu Longyue had never worried about not having enough spirit stones.
“Are there any other medicinal pills?”
“We have black hair pills and body shaping pills. Both of these can help make the hair smoother and more flowing, and improve one’s figure.”
“Three hundred of each.”
“Okay, that will be six thousand spirit stones.” The shop assistant’s smile was almost uncontrollable.
At such a moment, Wu Longyue couldn’t help but glance at Song Cha again.
She wondered, what kind of elixir could Song Cha possibly still need?
With hair, physique, facial features, spiritual energy, and bodily resilience all accounted for, there shouldn’t be anything else needed, right?
“Let’s just go with these,” Wu Longyue finally spoke up, feeling temporarily satisfied.
“Alright! That will be a total of 17,000 top-grade spirit stones,” the shop assistant said.
Upon hearing the shop assistant’s words, Wu Longyue took out a storage bag and handed it to him.
Just as the shop assistant reached out to take it, Song Cha stopped him.
“Does your store offer any discounts?” Song Cha asked with an innocent expression, “Longyue, when we were buying clothes earlier, there were discounts. Why not here?”
The shop assistant was speechless.
The shop assistant froze.
“It’s okay,” Wu Longyue didn’t really care about the money saved from discounts, “We can just buy it outright.”
“But… I want to save money for you, Longyue,” Song Cha said with genuine sincerity.
Song Cha’s sincere words moved Wu Longyue.
Song Cha was Wu Longyue’s only friend. She might not care about spirit stones, but she couldn’t disregard Song Cha’s feelings.
Song Cha had expressed a desire to save money for her twice now; how could she ignore Song Cha’s intentions?
With that thought, Wu Longyue retracted the storage bag she was about to hand over, “Since Sister Song Cha wants to go to a store with discounts, then let’s check out other stores that offer them.”
After saying this, Wu Longyue was ready to leave the elixir shop.
“Wait a moment!” Before Wu Longyue could take a few steps, the shop assistant eagerly spoke up, “Esteemed fairy, our shop does have discounts. I’ll give you the biggest discount we offer. The original price is 17,000 top-grade spirit stones, but I’ll only charge you 14,000 top-grade spirit stones.”
The original price of 17,000 top-grade spirit stones, now discounted to 14,000 top-grade spirit stones, meant a total savings of exactly 3,000 top-grade spirit stones.
This is really a nice discount.
However, upon hearing the shop assistant’s words, Wu Longyue didn’t immediately agree. Instead, she turned to Song Cha, “Sister Song Cha, do you think this is acceptable?”
“Of course, it is.” A hint of amusement flashed in Song Cha’s eyes. “The shop assistant is so sincere, how could I be picky and suggest you continue to look in other shops?”
“Alright.” With Song Cha’s confirmation, Wu Longyue took out another storage bag, filled it with three thousand top-grade spirit stones, and handed the remaining fourteen thousand top-grade spirit stones to the shop assistant, “Here you go.”
The shop assistant quickly reached out to take the storage bag and began to gather the elixirs that Wu Longyue wanted.
Even as the assistants started to pick out the elixirs Wu Longyue requested, they were still somewhat shaken.
Customers who bought elixirs in the store would earn them a commission. Although these commissions weren’t very high, they were still a substantial amount of spirit stones for them.
And because it was more convenient to sell spirit stones, these assistants had the right to offer discounts to major customers. It was just that they had been greedy for profit and hadn’t mentioned it earlier.
It was also fortunate that they had given this major customer a discount, otherwise, they would have lost the business and the commission. With an order of over ten thousand top-grade spirit stones, each of them could earn a commission of one top-grade spirit stone.
For them, who were at the Qi Refining stage, this was indeed a significant sum.
While the shop assistant was packaging the items, Wu Longyue handed the storage bag still in her hand to Song Cha, “Sister Song Cha, this is for you.”
“What is this…” Song Cha looked at Wu Longyue with confusion, knowing that the storage bag contained the spirit stones saved from the discount.
“These spirit stones are for you,” Wu Longyue said.
“Why?” Song Cha was a very reserved person and wouldn’t just accept someone else’s spirit stones casually.
“These are the spirit stones you helped me save,” Wu Longyue explained. “If it weren’t for your help, Sister Song Cha, I wouldn’t have been able to save these stones, so I’m giving them to you.”
Song Cha: “……”
Three thousand top-grade spirit stones were indeed very tempting. But Song Cha was still rational and continued to refuse, “But…”
“There are no buts.” Wu Longyue firmly placed the storage bag in Song Cha’s hands, “Sister Song Cha, I’ve said that I would repay you. This money was saved with your help.”
Song Cha was somewhat at a loss for words: “……”
Seeing that Song Cha seemed to have more to say, Wu Longyue preemptively spoke up: “Sister Song Cha, you must accept this. If you don’t, how can we still be friends?”
Song Cha: “……”
It seemed that Wu Longyue’s words about not being able to be her friend had frightened her. Song Cha’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and in the end, she reluctantly and against her conscience accepted the storage bag.
Seeing Song Cha accept the storage bag, Wu Longyue breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
In Wu Longyue’s mind, Song Cha’s poverty was obvious.
She was always worried that Song Cha wouldn’t live well, that she wouldn’t have enough spirit stones. Even though she had bought so many elixirs for Song Cha this time, she was still worried that there might be something lacking.
But now it was different, now Song Cha had accepted three thousand top-grade spirit stones.
As long as she had the spirit stones, even if there were elixirs she wanted in the future, she could continue to buy them.
Just as Wu Longyue was feeling relieved, the shop assistant had already packed up the elixirs.
All the elixirs were packed into a storage bag.
One of the shop assistants handed the storage bag to Wu Longyue: “Fairy, all the elixirs have been packed. Please check them.”
Wu Longyue took the storage bag and began to search inside with her divine sense.
Soon, she confirmed that all the elixirs in the storage bag were accounted for.
After confirming, Wu Longyue handed the storage bag to Song Cha: “Sister Song Cha, you take this as well.”
Song Cha: “……”
When she saw Wu Longyue purchasing Golden Core stage elixirs, Song Cha had a feeling that Wu Longyue was buying them for her.
But when Wu Longyue actually handed these elixirs to her, Song Cha still felt very surprised.
These elixirs were worth more than ten thousand top-grade spirit stones. More than ten thousand top-grade spirit stones, many Nascent Soul stage cultivators didn’t have that much wealth in their entire lives. And Wu Longyue just casually gave them to her?
“Longyue, you……”
“I’m giving all of these to you.” Wu Longyue was serious: “Sister Song Cha, everyone has some expectations when they make friends.”
Song Cha: “……”
Wu Longyue continued: “You are my only friend, and my only request is that you must not refuse the things I give you. You have to accept them! Otherwise, don’t be my friend!” Her tone was somewhat fierce when she said these words.
After all, Wu Longyue was a delicate beauty, and even when she looked fierce, she wasn’t off-putting. On the contrary, she was somewhat adorable.
“I…” Song Cha looked at Wu Longyue: “Longyue, what if I don’t want your things but still want to be your friend?”
“That’s impossible.” Wu Longyue’s sweet voice became even fiercer, “My friend must accept my things. Sister Song Cha, you must accept them, otherwise you won’t meet my friendship needs. If that’s the case, I won’t consider you my friend in the future, and I’ll make new friends.”
I won’t look for you in the future; I’ll find new friends.
Song Cha’s eyelashes trembled, and a crystal-clear tear fell from the corner of her eye.
Clearly, Song Cha was crying.
Seeing this scene, Wu Longyue’s heart couldn’t help but ache.
Did she… do something wrong?
Was it because her tone was too fierce just now that she hurt Song Cha and made her cry?
“No…” Wu Longyue wanted to say that she actually didn’t have so many demands for a friend, as long as the person was Song Cha, she could accept everything else.
But before Wu Longyue could finish, Song Cha had already tremblingly accepted the storage bag that Wu Longyue handed over.
“Alright… I promise you.” Song Cha’s voice was somewhat hoarse, clearly trying to hold back her grievances.
