Chapter 412
I pulled out a bunch of nutritional foods for everyone to eat and gave them medicinal creams to rub on sore parts of their bodies.
Nie li looked like he eagerly wanted to help ziyun but was stopped with a head chop.
"So when do you plan on making your money." I ask the idiot getting everyone's attention.
"Well we can go now I'm sure that we can gather more stuff to sell later." nie li says putting his hands in his pockets.
"True I do want to check out the market stalls and see some new stuff." I say getting up and stuffing the rest of my food in my mouth.
"You guys want to come along?" I ask the rest of the group.
"Nah I've got to get home as my dad will never believe I was training." lu piao says.
"I also need to go talk with my mother." says du ze.
I turn my head towards the girls.
"I'd love to go with you." Says Xiao ning'er. "I also need to have my servants buy goods." she adds.
"Ah don't worry about that. If your servants did start collecting things I'm sure your family would get wind of it once prices started rising and might try to get you to hand over your items 'For the good of the family' or some lame excuse." I tell her as she thinks seriously and this does seem possible.
Soon there are a bunch of hooded figures that appear out of nowhere.
I toss them some spatial rings. "Fill these with purple haze gra.s.s and any other herbs, beast crystals, metals, anything you deem would interest me or the others also be discreet about it."
"Yes master." And their gone.
Purple haze gra.s.s is a multi use herb used in hundreds of different alchemy formulas however glory city has some of the worst alchemy standards as they can barely be called alchemists. They mostly work as crummy potioneers.
Nie li is shocked by the presence of the strange people. "Who are those guys I couldn't
"Well they wouldn't be master a.s.sa.s.sin's if you knew they were there now would they?" I say with a chuckle.
"Master a.s.sa.s.sin's? Why would you know master a.s.sa.s.sin's?" he asks incredibly.
"Well I'm very important and they were bored so I let them out to play." I say casually as we all leave the training grounds to go buy stuff.
I hold out my arm for Xiao ning'er and she takes it with a blush as we walk around the crowded street stalls happily chatting. I keep getting curious gazes from ziyun and envious gazes from nie li as he was shot down when he tried to get ziyun to hold his arm.
I browse the stalls and I must say that the workmans.h.i.+p is shoddy at best. Basically they would take beast skins and then put half baked formations on them to toughen them up then charge outrageous prices for them. I tested this out by buying a piece of expensive equipment and before the shocked eyes of the group cutting through it like b.u.t.ter with one of my ninjato I made.
"Really it's a miracle that you guys survived so long with such c.r.a.p gear. I hand made this weapon out of steel and added a few runes and it's better than your expensive gear." I say looking at the split in two plate.
nie li looks at my weapon with curiosity and I pa.s.s it over to him.
he gives it a couple swings before eying it appreciatively. "Great piece of work I didn't know you could forge." he says handing the blade back to me.
"Yeah I'll be personally making you all weapons." I would have Tang Hao do it but he's still working in the black corner district In the battle through the heavens world robbing criminals and making me a fortune.
ye ziyun and nie li eye the blade thinking of ways to help the city out and not have me feel like I'm being used. Xiao ning'er just looks at me with more awe and respect.
"Can I borrow that blade?" ziyun asks politely. I have an idea on what she plans to do but I don't really care I hand the item over before going back to shopping.
After a while a normal looking man approaches us before pa.s.sing me some spatial rings and vanis.h.i.+ng into the crowd.
I pa.s.s them around taking some for myself as it easy money and I've already got a couple acres in the kingdom just pumping out the gra.s.s at insane speeds. We head over to the delivery station and nie li pays to have a list of formula and uses for purple haze gra.s.s sent off to the alchemy a.s.sociation so they start testing them out. I also throw in some basic alchemy knowledge and tips they might not know about as even nie li didn't know them. If this doesn't get their attention I doubt I should even register at the a.s.sociation.
Ye ziyun and Xiao ning'er quietly listen as they evaluate us while we go over alchemy tips and such. They have come to the conclusion we are both geniuses and I'm a very dangerous person.
After a couple more hours we escort the girls home as its starting to get late and we make our way back to my house.
nie li was expecting some grand mansion or something however he was disappointed when he saw it was just a small one room house. That is until I brought out my trunk and walked inside to his shock.
I showed him the library and let him study some books he was looking at curiously.
I don't worry about him blabbing or anything as he himself is a time traveler with a great enemy and his only goals are to save glory city and the rest of the world and marry ziyun.
I grab a few books I had made earlier from the school and start going over them. Occasionally he would ask questions and I would answer. this went on until late when I just left him to read whatever and went to bed. the next morning I would find him sleeping face down on a book.
