Chapter 8o: Chapter 80: Trading Magic Artifacts for Food, Cultivator Bows for Five Dou of Rice 1

Translator: 549690339

Thump, thump, thump!!!

Just as Zhou Sui was planning to continue his cultivation, he suddenly heard a knocking at the door.

“Who is it?”

Zhou Sui sent out his consciousness and detected an old cultivator outside the door. He appeared to be in his seventies or eighties, with a cultivation level at the eighth layer of Qi cultivation.

He quickly recognized him. This was his neighbor, Qian Wei, an artifact refiner. However, they just barely knew each other and weren’t too familiar.

Unexpectedly, Qian Wei had come looking for him.

“Fellow Daoist Qian, what brings you here unannounced?”

Zhou Sui opened the door and asked.

“Fellow Daoist Zhou.

Upon seeing Zhou Sui open the door, Qian Wei was immediately relieved and explained, “I was wondering if you had any spare food and spirit meat that you could trade. I could offer a lower grade magical tool in exchange.” He wanted to trade spirit meat and spirit rice with Zhou Sui.

“Trade for spirit rice and spirit meat? Are you saying you’ve run out of food ?” Hearing this, Zhou Sui was taken aback. This was simply unheard of.

In the past in Misty Cloud City, spirit rice and spirit meat were almost worthless. If cultivators wanted to trade these foods for pills and magic artifacts, it was basically a pipe dream.

But now, this Qian Wei was actually willing to part with precious magic artifacts in exchange, which was simply incredible.

It was like using gold to trade for rice and flour.

In peacetime, no one would do such a foolish thing.

“All gone… I’ve run out of food. Who could have expected that Misty Cloud City would be in such a long siege? I also didn’t think to store so much food. The food that I did store has already been eaten, I don’t even have a single fasting pill left.”????????????????????????? 5

Qian Wei was filled with regret.

If he had known how important food would be, he would have stored a heap of it to begin with.

Instead, now he had to humble himself for a little food.

But it was a necessary evil. The space in a cultivator’s storage bag was limited, and most of them had only one or two cubic meters of space. Most of it was occupied by secret scripts, magic artifacts, pills and other valuables. Why would anyone store food?

Furthermore, fasting pills were not cheap, no one would store them in large quantities.

“Even if you’ve run out of food, you could still buy more. Aren’t the shops now providing limited supplies? Why sell your magic artifacts for so little?”

Zhou Sui asked.

“Don’t you know, Fellow Daoist Zhou?”

Upon hearing this, Qian Wei seemed a bit surprised, “Last night, the warehouse in Misty Cloud City storing spirit rice and meat was attacked by spies from the Ghost Demon Sect, and a large amount of food was destroyed all at once.

Now, even the Immortal Mist Sect can’t supply large amounts of food. Even if you go to the shops to buy food now, you can’t buy even a single grain of rice, no matter how much you’re willing to spend.”

The Ghost Demon Sect attacked the spirit rice warehouse?”

Zhou Sui was stunned. He had been staying at home all the time and barely went out. He was not very sensitive to what happened outside.

He didn’t expect that the Ghost Demon Sect would actually attack the spirit rice warehouse.

Without a doubt, this was a heavy blow to the Immortal Mist Sect.

After all, the space in a cultivator’s storage bag was limited, and it wasn’t possible to store all their food in these bags. A large amount of spirit rice and meat was still stored in the warehouses.

Normally, these places would be heavily guarded.

However, evidently, the spies of the Ghost Demon Sect were one step ahead. They somehow bypassed the guards and set a fire to destroy the spirit rice and meat in the warehouse.

This led to a drastic decrease in the food stored by the Immortal Mist Sect in Misty Cloud City.

If they had kept to the rationing, the cultivators in Misty Cloud City could have lasted for over a year.

But now, a large amount of spirit rice has been burned, meat has been destroyed, leading to the disappearance of a large amount of food.

This would surely lead to a famine in Misty Cloud City, and who knows how many cultivators might starve then.

No wonder Qian Wei is willing to exchange magic artifacts for food.

After all, no matter how precious the magic artifact is, it can’t fill your stomach.

Now, who knows how many cultivators are in a hurry, wanting to exchange pills, magic artifacts, talismans, etc., for food.

I m sorry, but we don’t have much food stored ourselves. If Fellow Daoist Qian does have food, I have some talismans that I could trade with you. The price is guaranteed to be cheap.”

Zhou Sui said without showing any emotions.

He did not plan to trade food with him.

Admittedly, he had a lot of food on him, and he could seize the opportunity to

buy a lot of magic artifacts and pills at low prices.

He might even be able to take advantage of this to make a fortune.

The problem is, this is too risky.

If other cultivators find out he has a lot of food, the threat he might face would probably go beyond mere jealously and greed.

Having been in Misty Cloud City for so many years, he was very familiar with the nature of cultivators.

Don’t be fooled by the amiable appearances these cultivators put on. As soon as there’s a profit to be made, as soon as they can bully the weak, they would likely kill without hesitation and become robbers.

A person who possesses an abundance of resources naturally invites murder.

This is the life of a cultivator.

He can always make money, there’s no need to take unnecessary risks at this time and make himself a target.

“You also don’t have any food? Then I’ll be taking my leave.”

Hearing this, Qian Wei’s face turned pale and he said unhappily. He had originally come here hoping to use his magic tool to exchange food with other cultivators.

But this guy actually wanted to use talismans to exchange food with him? Wasn’t he just talking nonsense?

If they were in the wilderness, talismans might be useful. But while staying in Misty Cloud City, talismans couldn’t be used as food. If he really traded all his remaining food, he would probably starve to death.

He wasn’t stupid enough to do something like that.

So, he left without hesitation, going elsewhere to see if he could exchange food with other cultivators who had enough food stored.

“Fellow Daoist Qian, please take care.”

Zhou Sui waved his hand, bidding Qian Wei goodbye.

But he soon realized that it wasn’t just Qian Wei who had come knocking.

His other neighbors, Fellow Daoist Zhu, Fellow Daoist Sun, Fellow Daoist Feng and a dozen others cultivators in the late stage of Qi cultivation also came one after another, hoping to trade for food with Zhou Wei.

Clearly, these cultivators were also in a food crisis and wanted to seize the opportunity to get a large amount of food.

Some even offered the treasures they had been hiding away, such as pill formulas, magic artifacts, pills, secret scripts and so on.

Unfortunately, they were all declined by Zhou Sui, who claimed that even his own home didn’t have much food left.

The cultivators could only leave disappointed.

After all, they couldn’t possibly force Zhou Sui, whose side was backed by two cultivators at the ninth layer of Qi cultivation, Ji Bingyu and Xia Jingyan. These cultivators had to weigh their own abilities and consider whether it was worth it.

Of course, if Zhou Sui was still at the first layer of Qi cultivation as he was before, he might have been killed by these neighbors who were as fierce as wolves and tigers, and all his food would have been stolen.

At this point, no one would consider the feelings of their neighbors.

Most importantly, they didn’t have deep feelings for each other to begin with – they were just acquaintances, not very familiar..
