Chapter 1734: Chapter 780: Impulsiveness

"Of course!"

The storekeeper, seeing that the fish was hooked, ramped up the pitch with more vigor.

From the material of the night pot to its historical origin, and then to the difficulties in obtaining this item.

Things like relics from the previous dynasty, with some Break Evil effects, and ancient liquid that might restore its former glory to become a supreme artifact.

Not to mention, having ventured into dangerous territories, going in and out multiple times, battling demons for days, and eventually finding this item in the heart of the region and bringing it out.

"Such a fateful item is only meant for someone whose destiny aligns with it! Miss, you look like the destined person for this item! One hundred gold taels, and it’s yours!"

These familiar phrases were basically the standardized script for finding a sucker.

Even for a seasoned person like Ding Hui, Fang Yu could sense the inconsistencies.

What one-of-a-kind treasures in the world, just lacking a sucker to pay the bill.

If there were really such wonderful things, would we get a chance to buy them?

However, before Fang Yu could drop hints to Ding Hui, Ding Hui had already put down the night pot and picked up another string of peanuts from the stall, asking about it.

"This one’s nice, but a bit pricey. How much for this? It looks quite cute."

Cute...?

Brother, the thing in your hand is still muddy, others haven’t even washed it properly before selling it.

If I’m not mistaken, that blotch of red mud might just be a bloodstain...

"Miss, you have a good eye! This is not simple either, it’s called the Heart Entangling Dye Vine. Although it hasn’t bloomed yet, it just needs careful cultivation. Plant it in the soil, nurture it well, and in about ten to twenty years, when nine flowers bloom, it can dye skin and bone, reconstruct the flesh! Even the Imperial Nobles seek such a thing!"

"Ten to twenty years?"

Ding Hui exaggeratedly raised her voice slightly and touched her cheek.

"Storekeeper, you’re really good at joking. I look young and beautiful now, but in ten to twenty years, I’ll be old and haggard. By then, my man won’t appreciate me, so what’s the point of keeping this?"

After saying that, she gave Fang Yu a side-eye, which left Fang Yu a bit at a loss.

To follow this unexpected act or not, that was the dilemma.

Fortunately, the storekeeper didn’t care and continued with his nonsense.

"What are you talking about, Miss? Your beauty is nothing short of breathtaking; ten years are but a fleeting moment and won’t affect your looks in the slightest. Besides, such a good thing, you buy now and plant it, and it becomes a family heirloom. In twenty years, it blooms and bears fruit, one generation after another, no worries about wealth or sustenance!"

Ding Hui seemed like one of those foolish sweet wealthy women who got completely swept away by the pitch, laughing with her hand covering her mouth.

"Got it, got it, the storekeeper sure has a sweet mouth, but you gotta give me a cheaper price, and these, these little things, just gift them along with me."

"No, no!" The storekeeper shook his head like a rattle; some items on his stall he truly didn’t know the price or the market, but this didn’t mean he charged by size.

The little things Ding Hui pointed at may be small but are quite valuable.

"Look at your stingy face, just sell it to me cheaper, will you?"

Ding Hui rolled her eyes, but her good demeanor still swayed the storekeeper.

After a few simple negotiations, Ding Hui told Fang Yu,

"Husband, go pay."

Fang Yu pursed his lips.

Turning back to look at Diao Xiaohui, he saw her parked with the carriage not far away, alertly watching the crowd.

Seemingly, if anyone dared to touch the things inside the carriage, she’d likely rush out and tear them apart in an instant.

Whether it was Song Xi’s previous arrogant attitude or her current vastly increased strength, the likelihood of her doing such a thing was very high.

Fang Yu quickly walked towards the carriage.

"..."

Diao Xiaohui’s tense expression immediately relaxed upon seeing Fang Yu.

"Well done."

Fang Yu patted her head and then went into the carriage to fetch the money.

From the Sui Chong Pass, they’d gathered quite a bit of wealth, plus the gains along the journey, they had decent cash reserves.

However, Ding Hui spending so much at once left Fang Yu feeling a bit pained.

But compared to the value of the materials in the carriage, these cash silver taels were the least valuable things.

From the items in the carriage, just taking some out would fetch a high price and return a significant cash flow.

Besides current silver, they’d also exchanged for several silver notes.

To arrive at the capital and obtain the desired materials, they’d made ample preparations over these two months of travel.

After all, Ding Hui’s experiment on Diao Xiaohui had basically succeeded, granting Ding Hui considerable practical experience.

Although a lot of adjustments and subsequent nurturing, body transformation, etc., were still needed, they had indeed taken that step.

Whether this could be applied to the second sister, safely transferring her consciousness from her to a new body remains uncertain and requires more materials and experimental data, naturally causing Diao Xiaohui to endure more suffering.

Moreover, everything Ding Hui does is to better supplement Diao Xiaohui and even enhance Fang Yu’s constitution, to increase possibilities for Fang Yu’s dual-headed cultivation technique, etc., so despite Ding Hui’s lavish spending, Fang Yu did not hinder her in the slightest.
