Chapter 4 Profiteering
Li Chuan Xianzun fell, Huang Ning was very sad, this was the only idol he liked in two lifetimes, and it was also his goal, his savior, but Huang Ning hadn't had time to do anything, and he didn't even have a chance to say thank you in person Say it out, and the other party dies.Of course, he was not the only one who was sad, the whole Bianhuo City seemed to be in a sad atmosphere, and even the busy streets were deserted. There was no sound, although there were still people coming and going on the street, but there was a kind of silence quietly.
Everyone was very sad, Huang Ning suddenly heard the female nun beside him cry out more than once, and then covered her face and ran away, Huang Ning looked at the nun's back and sighed, another girl who had an empty heart.
In order to express her condolences, Huang Ning also drew a portrait of Li Chuan Xianzun that she saw that night. After all, she lived in another world for 200 years. Ning learned to cook and draw during her breaks. Of course, she also played games and computers, but these skills are useless in this world, so I won’t mention them.
Huang Ning doesn't like the modern style of painting. As a monk, he feels that he should have his own style. He only likes ink painting. Fortunately, he likes ink painting, so it doesn't attract attention when he paints in this world. However, he has been influenced by modern painting methods such as sketching. Huang Ning has always been committed to making ink and wash portraits more realistic. Let alone landscapes, portraits must have some shadow of the person in the painting.Huang Ning squatted in the small courtyard where the handyman lived in the restaurant, splashing ink, and carefully drew a picture of Li Chuan Immortal holding a sword.
Looking at the portrait of Li Chuan Immortal Venerable in the portrait who already had three parts of character and five parts of character, Huang Ning sighed deeply, the first...how many days since leaving the Immortal Venerable?Forget it, miss him...
There is no way to repay the great kindness and virtue. I can only express my heart and miss the immortal. I hope that the remnant soul of the immortal is still there, and I will enter the immortal gate again in the next life. This time I must achieve the Tao.Huang Ning slowly raised the portrait in her hand, thinking.
"It really looks like it!" The portrait was taken away suddenly, and Huang Ning turned around immediately after being taken aback. The owner of the Jiuxian Pavilion was standing behind him, holding his painting in one hand, and stroking his fairy beard with the other, raising his eyes and smiling Looking at Huang Ning, "Did you draw it?"
"Yes." Huang Ning immediately bowed her head and saluted. Hearing that the master of the Jiuxian Pavilion is already at the Jindan stage, it's better for him to be low-key in a small Qi-entraining stage.
"Can you sell it to me?"
Huang Ning raised her head in surprise, unexpectedly, you are also a fan of Li Chuan Xianzun, the master of the pavilion!Ah no!Huang Ning straightened her face, cupped her hands and said, "It's just a waste of mortal paper and ink, not worth spirit stones, the pavilion master likes it, so just give it to the pavilion master." Whether it's worth spirit stones, you old man can decide!He didn't believe that a boss as big as the pavilion master only gave gold and silver, and he even hinted that he wanted Lingshi...
Gong Jianyi was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled. He naturally noticed Huang Ning's small thoughts, but he didn't mind, and smiled, "Then how many spirit stones do you think you can exchange?"
"Well, the pavilion master is very kind to me. Don't talk about weapons before I come to the pavilion. The poor don't even have a clean dress, and they still owe other people's spirit stones. Thanks to the kindness of the pavilion master, they gave me work to earn spirits. The opportunity of the stone gave me a breather, I paid off my debts, and bought clothes and spell books, and now I still have two remaining spirit stones in my pocket." Huang Ning laughed foolishly, with a grateful expression on her face, "This way I have always remembered my kindness. I only hate that I have no ability to repay the pavilion owner. Now that the pavilion owner has taken a fancy to my painting, I will take it away without saying anything else! I will never ask for money! I am also a kid A little thought."
"Oh?" Gong Jianyi raised his eyebrows, "Really don't want it?" He could understand what Huang Ning said both inside and outside, and secretly felt that he was worthy of being a new star in his court. He took quite a lot of spirit stones, he is indeed a transparent and intelligent person, he is also good looking, his face is like a good girl, his face is greasy, and he is really pleasing.
"Of course not! It was given to the pavilion master." Huang Ning looked determined.
Gong Jianyi smiled, "Forget it, I won't accept your personal favor for a painting. I see that you have been painting all afternoon, and it is considered hard work, but if I give you more, I feel stupid, and if I give you less, I can't afford to lose it." This face is not as good as a painting of ten spirit stones, how about you draw a few more for me?"
Ten dollars!It is also earned!His monthly salary is only one spirit stone, and the rest is all based on the rewards of customers, but he can only get five or six spirit stones a month with all his efforts, and now he can earn ten yuan in one afternoon, and he likes it. The big saber magic weapon is a low-grade spirit stone worth 100 yuan, so the calculation... This money must be earned!Huang Ning's eyes lit up, and she repeatedly bowed her hands in thanks, expressing that she must paint well.
Only then did Gong Jianyi leave with the painting, and Huang Ning didn't care about feeling sorry for the death of Li Chuan Xianzun, so he immersed himself in artistic creation. In order not to bore Gong Jianyi from seeing too many of the same paintings, he spontaneously expanded the There are pictures of Li Chuan Immortal Cultivating Taoism, Li Chuan Immortal Punishing Demons, Li Chuan Immortal Lectures, Li Chuan Immortal Drunken, etc. As he drew and painted, Huang Ning felt that although he had only seen Li Chuan Immortal, The face of the Immortal Venerable has been firmly engraved into his mind, and with the expansion of part of his imagination, he even completed the disposition of the Immortal Venerable in his mind.
Huang Ning worked day and night for several days before she walked out of the door in a daze to get some air. The Jiuxian Pavilion seemed to be busier than before. Huang Ning went to the front hall to take a look curiously. Many female nuns sometimes mixed with a few The male cultivator was yelling something to the shopkeeper at the counter.
"50 Yuan Lingshi."
"sixty!"
"I'm 65! Leave me the picture of Li Chuan Xianzun drunk!"
"Okay, don't move this fellow daoist, it's you, 65 low-grade spirit stones, the drunken picture of Li Chuan Xianzun, please." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
Huang Ning: Shocked! !
Profiteer! ! !
Huang Ning's head was even more dizzy, but his small arms and legs couldn't do the Jiuxian Pavilion, so he could only pretend to be stupid and went back to his room silently, no way!He will leave as soon as he has saved enough money to buy the magic weapon, and he must not be squeezed here again. Sure enough, no matter which world, businessmen are all human beings, whether he is a mortal or a monk, it is the same!Don't look at Gong Jianyi who is always smiling, and he doesn't have any airs for a little monk like him, but the kinder the person is, the more ruthless he is when he cheats!Ten pieces of Lingshi bought his paintings, and they sold them for 65 without even selling them!Six times!Huang Ning's heart is bleeding, if he draws and sells it on the street, at least he can sell it for three or forty yuan of spirit stones!
Sure enough, idol merchandise is the easiest to earn. No matter which world they are in, fans are equally good at spending money on idols.
Huang Ning was aggrieved, but Huang Ning couldn't help it. He even had to think about the reasons when he resigned, not to offend others, but to leave in a tactful manner. help……
After a few more days, Huang Ning finally saved enough money to buy a big sword, and contentedly brought back the magic weapon he had been thinking about from the treasure store, a simple, heavy and low-grade big knife magic weapon with no decorative patterns. He occasionally reads two chicken soup web novels, and his favorite is the male-frequency cultivating immortals, which tells about a poor male protagonist who struggles through opportunities, meets beauties with their own dowry, etc., and finally reaches the pinnacle of life and becomes immortal Every time he reads the story, he feels inspired. He feels that he is the hero in those chicken soup novels. One day, after going through many hardships, he will achieve longevity and live the same life as the world!
Therefore, after many male protagonists in the novel bought a cheap magic weapon, they accidentally discovered that the magic weapon was disguised as a magic weapon, so his big sword...
Huang Ning turned around and studied for a long time, but she didn't feel that the knife she bought was any different. It seemed to be just an ordinary low-grade magic weapon. Forget it, maybe I will meet you next time, Huang Ning Ning was not disappointed, and even named his magic weapon, Xiaoer, to commemorate his working career, and this is the second big knife he owned, which is very commemorative. You know, the one in his previous life He named the big saber magic weapon inherited from his master's school as Yidao. In comparison, Xiao Er is actually quite nice.
Soon, the chance to resign that Huang Ning had been longing for finally came. Hundreds of kilometers away from Bianhuo City, a small secret realm of Xuanyue was about to be opened, and monks from all directions would gather there to explore the secret realm.Xuanyue Secret Realm is opened once every three years, and the level of danger is also low. The base period is still useful, so every time it is opened, it attracts countless low-level monks, and Huang Ning is no exception.
With such a fair and honest reason to explore the secret realm, even if he insisted on keeping him, he couldn't say anything, and he could finally resign and leave.
……
Huang Ning rode a tall horse on the main road, and from time to time, a fire-eyed beast carrying monks ran past her side. As a poor person, Huang Ning would not spend money to rent a fire-eyed beast for transportation. Horses that can be bought with gold and silver It's not good, it's just a little slower, but it can also be used for transportation!These monks!I really don't know how to save money.Huang Ning shook her head and sighed, "If you don't make money, you don't know how hard it is to make money. He has painted too many paintings just to make money, and his wrists are still shaking!"
Be thrifty, thrift is a virtue... Huang Ning thought sadly.
Huang Ning simply pulled the reins and walked towards the side of the road, first to prevent herself from being hit by the speeding fire-eyed beast, and second, to reduce her sense of existence, "Drive!" Huang Ning clamped the horse's belly, urging the horse to speed up, and the horse's hoof swept Passing the weeds by the roadside, a group of furry and round things were kicked out by the horse's hoof, whining, and ran deeper into the grass with a crooked body.
"rabbit!"
Huang Ning was taken aback, and hurriedly got off the horse to catch it, his eyes were shining brightly, he likes all fluffy things, because he wanted to pet cats before, but he was too lazy to raise them himself, so he just fed the wild cats outside from time to time, Huang Ning rushed towards the seemingly Injured by the kick, Xiaobai Tuanzi, who was crooked and still trying to escape, was pinched in his hand, and a claw aggressively scratched at Huang Ning's face.
"So cute~" Huang Ning murmured while lying in the grass and looking at the soft white cat in her palm.It turned out it wasn't a rabbit. He thought it was a rabbit when it was so white, but it turned out to be a kitten. As for the claws that attacked his face just now, Huang Ning didn't care at all. The claws are much stronger, and there is no pain or itching at all.
Huang Ning pinched the little milk cat's meat pad, it was soft, and quickly checked whether it was injured.The little milk cat's limbs were opened, and it was suppressed and lay flat in the grass. Even if it struggled hard, it was useless. Huang Ning checked it up and down carefully, and after confirming that it was fine, she picked it up carefully.
The angry kitten scratched Huang Ning's face again, this time it was aimed at his eyes, Huang Ning hurriedly dodged, and said with a smile: "The eyes are not good, but it's okay to scratch the face, the claws are so soft. Scratch it casually!" Huang Ning squeezed the kitten's paw and rubbed it against her face, it was warm and soft, so happy... Huang Ning narrowed her eyes.What's the use of becoming a fairy if you can't pet cats in your life!
