2314: God of Wealth

God of Wealth

"It's not possible for such an extraordinary divine tool to come from such a barren place as the Middle Six Prefectures." 1

"I'm guessing that some young sir or young lady from one of our Divine Province's patrician families has come back from their journey."

"Also, did you see that big cyan bird just now? The presence it commanded didn't feel like an ordinary spiritual beast!"

"When have people from the tiny Middle Six Prefectures been so awe-inspiring? It's not possible."

Everyone in town was discussing heatedly. They did not notice that Qiao Mu and Mo Lian had overtly led Zou Huan and them back into the crowd.

As they had vanished from everybody's sight at top speed, nobody could catch trace of them.

There did not seem to be many experts in this border town that linked the Six Prefectures to the Divine Province.

A bunch of them were normal businesspeople, while the other group of spiritual cultivators didn't have especially high cultivation.

Qiao Mu did not like listening to these people's noisy babbling.

They were just elevating themselves as people from the Divine Province while belittling the Middle Six Prefectures.

However, if these people were to know that Qiao Mu was not from the Middle Six Prefectures but hailed from the Lower Star Domain instead, wouldn't they all come and stare at her like an invading alien!

These utterly absurd, arrogant people.

Qiao Mu and Mo Lian held hands and walked up to a stable in the most northern part of town.

These were not any ordinary horses. They were basically all level eight or nine mystic beasts, so they naturally outmatched ordinary horses in speed.

Both of their flying beasts were too eye-catching. If they really did ride them, it would attract trouble like earlier.

The young couple was not interested in getting gawked at as if they were divine beasts.

"What's your price?"

"One spirit stone for a level-eight mystic horse." That person waved a finger in front of Mo Lian and Qiao Mu.

"How about hiring a carriage driver?"

"That would depend on where you are going."

"Dragon Flame City."

"Dragon Flame City is basically worlds apart from this border town! Even with my most robust horses, it will take at least 10 to 15 days!"

Mo Lian looked at him expressionlessly. "Name your price."

The person trader was immediately energized. He beamed and said, "Young Sir, you do not know! If this humble shop of mine also provides a carriage driver…"

"Nine horses, plus a carriage driver."

"With a carriage driver, we will also need to get you a comfortable carriage. Going to Dragon Flame City will cost at least 15 spirit stones for this long journey, and nine horses will be nine spirit stones. How about this, I will cut a deal and charge you 20 spirit stones."

Mo Lian nodded and did not even haggle over the price. He promptly pulled out a money pouch from his inner world and poured out 20 spirit stones.

The horse trader beamed widely and rubbed these spirit stones with his paws. He stuffed them all into his pocket and treated them even more respectfully. "These young sirs and lady! Please wait! This humble one will go make arrangements!"

Goodness, he didn't make out this handsome young sir to be such a generous god of wealth!

From his looks, he was a total gigolo! The horse trader mused inwardly.

Yet who knew that he would take out 20 authentic spirit stones without another word. It really made him reassess his bias.

This was the horse trader's first big business deal since the start of winter!

It would also benefit that Carriage Driver Chen who had not been finding work these couple of days.
