Forsaken Immortals

Chapter 328: Spirit Crystal Card

"Miss Bai, I would like to thank you for bringing such pristine specimens to our store. These Spiritual Pearl-Bell Flowers are, without a doubt, the most perfect versions I have ever encountered.

"Although the Spiritual Pearl-Bell Flower is not considered one of the rare herbs, it is still very hard to find any with this quality. In fact, many would be willing to go to great lengths to know where such magnificent flowers could have possibly grown."

Sun Junmeng was praising the flowers to the best of his ability, as he tried to hint to the young woman that these herbs' quality was simply too good for this part of the world, and that she had to be careful in the future.

Naturally, Bai Rouyun could sense his implied words, and she also noticed that his sincere gaze seemed to try and ensure that she had understood his intentions.

This mature man had suddenly turned from a powerful and slightly dangerous person to a more gentle and kind uncle-like figure. She was not dumb, she could clearly sense that the man had the best intentions when warning her like this.

"In fact, if you ever need to sell any herbs of such good quality in the future, you definitely have to come to our Lingcao Pavilion.

"We have stores throughout the entire Wushi Continent, and it is easy to find the right place. When we finish this transaction, I will give you a special token that will make it clear to all appraisers that they have to handle your case discreetly.

"I can feel that you are a person with good luck. Since you have managed to come across a fortunate location once and found such outstanding herbs, I have no doubt that you might encounter them again."

Sun Junmeng was smiling gently as he spoke, but his heart was already full of grief and sadness. Even he knew that his words were simply too sincere and friendly. Anyone would be scared when encountering a person like him who was this gentle without reason, and would easily realize that there had to be some cause for this overwhelming favor.

Bai Rouyun could sense that this Sun Junmeng had no hostility towards her, and she even noticed the helplessness in his eyes as he was overly friendly, making her feel somewhat novel.

From a young age, Bai Rouyun had never experienced what it felt like to have an elder caring for her as a younger generation, so she could not help but feel rather intrigued by these strange feelings.

Sun Junmeng was a person she had never met before, but she could feel that he genuinely wished the best for her without having any ulterior motives. Such pure feelings of a family were only connected to Yun Mingshen, and due to how close their ages were, she had never felt that he was her elder.

"I understand. I will ensure that every time I come across such outstanding herbs, I will only go to the Lingcao Pavilion to sell them. The Lingcao Pavilion is, after all, also a very well-known store, so I am sure I will not be at a loss." Bai Rouyun's eyebrows stretched sweetly as she smiled and answered.

Sun Junmeng's smile turned deeper and his eyes glistened with praise as he heard the young woman's answer. Although he had been fairly obvious with his words, she still pretended not to notice anything special, and even returned with an implied message of her own.

The two looked at one another, and while no one said anything special, the smile in their eyes clearly showed that they had understood one another.

"So, these herbs are indeed quite outstanding. I am not certain how much money you would like to get for them, but I have a suggestion." Sun Junmeng finally heaved a sigh of relief when he noticed that his master's daughter was quite smart, and continued to approach her with a friendliness unlike before.

"Since you just promised me that if you encounter other such outstanding herbs, you will sell them to our Lingcao Pavilion, then I would like to offer you a spirit crystal card.

"The spirit coin card is a crystal card issued by the biggest bank within the Wushi Continent. It works similarly to the various spirit coins, but is much more useful.

"Spirit coins can be found in various colors. The red spirit coins are the ones worth the least, and they then follow the order of the colors of the rainbow.

"You need ten red spirit coins to gather enough energy for one orange spirit coin, and another ten orange spirit coins to gather enough energy for one yellow spirit coin.

"However, the Spirit Crystal Card is different. These spirit coins will have to be delivered in numerous quantities, and often take up a lot of space. Trying to merge the coins into higher ranked coins is also not possible, as the coins themselves can only hold a certain amount of energy.

"The Spirit Crystal Card, on the other hand, is different. Much like how the coins contain energy which is used as currency, so do these cards, but unlike the coins, you can deduct a certain amount of energy from the card at any given time, and also add more energy whenever you receive coins.

"The various spirit coins can also be absorbed by the Spirit Crystal Card, and you can go to any bank or store and request for the energy within the card to be exchanged into coins if you should wish to do so."

Sun Junmeng was explaining the various currencies used in the Wushi Continent in such a fluent way, that Bai Rouyun instantly knew that he was aware of the fact that she had arrived at the Wushi Continent just recently.

She could not help but raise an eyebrow in surprise, as she wondered where exactly this powerhouse came from, especially since the Bai family was highly unlikely to spend the effort of protecting her in the dark.
