Online Cultivation
episode 66
After touring the city for some time, Yuan and the others finally decided to buy a hardware store named ‘Spring Spiritual Treasure of Spring’ City.
As soon as they entered the store, the middle-aged man behind the counter shouted: “Welcome to our hardware store! What kind of equipment are young people looking for?”
“Hmm What kind of weapon do you want to use?” Yuan asked him.
"I'm not sure, but something light and small is preferred" he said.
“Something light and small, yes?” The middle-aged man began to ponder for a moment before speaking, “We have daggers, throwing knives, and fans. Which of these is more in line with the taste of the young lady?”
“Fans? They are considered weapons?” Yuan was surprised, as this was the first time he had heard such a thing.
"of course! Anything could be a weapon in the hands of a Cultivator! However, the fan is not commonly used because of its fragile appearance and weak existence, and most people prefer something that looks strong or cool” like a sword.” The middle-aged man explained to him.
"May I see the fans?" Yu Rou then asked.
“Of course! This is the best fan we have right now!”
The middle-aged man then took out a long wooden box from the room in the back and placed it on the table.
When opening the box, three beautiful fans that seemed to be made of special materials were revealed to Yu Rou.
“Wow Indah” Yu Rou quickly became fond of these fans.
However, his excitement disappeared quickly after seeing the price for these fans.

“Do you have anything cheaper? Ordinary fans were also fine” Yu Rou said to the middle-aged man with a deep sigh. There was no way she would shamelessly ask her brother to buy her something so expensive after she spent 30,000 gold on him.
“If you want something normal, you can find it on the shelf there. Most of them were less than 5 gold coins. The middle-aged man spoke while pointing to the wooden shelf near the window.
However, Yuan suddenly spoke as the middle-aged man prepared to close the wooden box, "Wait, I will buy Spirit Weaver."
“Eh?”
The middle-aged man immediately stopped his movements to look at Yuan, as did Yu Rou, who was looking at him with a gawking expression on her face.
“Don't look at me like that, Yu Rou. I know you want it because you're looking at it very intensely. ” Yuan said to him with a smile as he paid the shopkeeper.
“B-Even if I want it, you can't just spend 200,000 gold! How much money do you have, Brother !? ” said to him, wondering if he took a loan from somewhere shady.
"I've had enough." she said with a smile.
“Thank you for the purchase, Young Master!” The middle-aged man changed the way he spoke to Yuan, even speaking in a more respectful voice.
After counting the money, the middle-aged man handed a beautiful white fan to him and said, "The reason this one is more expensive than others is not only because of its top quality but because this treasure is born naturally, and naturally. Innate treasures are naturally more expensive than man-made treasures.”
After receiving the white fan, Yuan reached out his hand to Yu Rou and said to her, “Money is meant to be spent or nothing, Yu Rou. Besides, it's just a game. Accept that."
“Although that is true, you still should not spend so much money. Who do you think you are? Player Yuan, the richest player in this game?” Yu Rou shook her head with a smile of defeat on her face.
“”
The smile on Yuan's face immediately stiffened upon hearing his words, and he did not dare to answer his question, fearing that he would reveal his identity sooner than he had planned.
A while later, Yu Rou looked at the Spirit Waver with sparkling eyes. “This fan is really pretty! While I still want to fight using slaves in the future, I won't stop using this fan either!”
Hearing Yu Rou's words, the shopkeeper suddenly said, “If you want a servant, you can go to the Beast Contract shop that is at the end of the road. You can find all kinds of animals there. ”
"Through?! Let's see, brother!" Yu Rou quickly said to him.
"Okay," he nodded.
They left the equipment shop shortly afterwards and then went straight to the Beast Contract shop that the middle-aged man mentioned.
“Welcome to our Animal Contract store! Do you want to make a contract with a savage beast today, young guest? The receptionist behind the counter called out to them after seeing them enter the store.
"We're just looking around for now," Yu Rou said.
“Maybe I can help you with what you are looking for. What kind of animal do you want to get? We have adult animals, young animals, and even ones waiting to hatch.”
“You even sell animals that haven't hatched? How does it work? I think you can only make a contract with a savage beast with a will. ” Yu Rou asked.
“We only do so-called Forced Contracts, which will forcibly establish a relationship between the unhatched animals and the seller so that they will be contracted to you immediately after their birth. Most customers tend to choose animals that have not yet hatched because they are easier to train than young ones while the mature ones are harder to control. Of course, animals that have not hatched are also more expensive than others.”
"Do you want to buy a servant here, Yu Rou?" Yuan asked him a moment later.
He shook his head and said, “No, I don't think I want to make a contract in an unhealthy way. I would rather not force a contract and find a savage beast willing to be my servant, which would make our relationship much more trustworthy and real. ”
"I understand," Yuan nodded.
