The plump girl clenched her hands and didn't dare to look up the whole time. Her voice was weak and small as she said, "I can't make the decision about the mineral vein. I have to ask my father." The young man couldn't save face when she contradicted him, and his tone became even nastier: "If you can't get it, don't even think about doing the purification task!" Amid the young man's irritable scolding, the girl reluctantly picked out a few kinds of pills and asked for a hundred bottles of each. After the plump girl paid the money, they left quickly. When Lan Zhi waited until they were far away, she casually pointed at the Phantom Spirit Liquid on the antique shelf and asked, "How much is this for sale?" The shopkeeper quoted a price: "Forty-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine." Lan Zhi: "... It's so expensive." She said helplessly, "Shopkeeper, I'm not as wealthy as those noble family children just now. Could you give me a more realistic price?" The shopkeeper had a troubled expression on his face and said, "It originally sells for sixty-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine. Since you came from the Medical Cultivation Pavilion, I've already given you a discount." Lan Zhi complained: "The Brocade Pearl Pine Mist Dew you just sold only costs about three or four thousand star yuan, but you charged nearly ten thousand. I don't believe you." Surprisingly, the shopkeeper didn't get angry even though his trick had been exposed. He smiled and said, "As long as it's in Pingzhou, no matter which store it is, it's the same. This is the price set by the head of the Merchant Guild. It's useless for you to talk to me. Don't think that girl was just bluffing. In fact, she wouldn't be able to find better Brocade Pearl Pine Mist Dew anywhere else." Lan Zhi was stunned for a moment and then asked decisively, "Then do you accept the Brocade Pearl Pine Mist Dew of the same quality?" The shopkeeper said with a smile, "We have supplies from the Merchant Guild, so we don't need to accept it." Lan Zhi: "..." No wonder she couldn't sell a single bottle before! Lan Zhi asked intentionally or unintentionally, "Recently, so many noble family children have come to Pinglan City. Business should be easy to do, right?" She came here under the banner of the Medical Cultivation Pavilion of Pinglan Star Academy after being introduced by Yan Huailè. The shopkeeper regarded her as one of his own and was also willing to talk to her: "Yes. Our business depends on these two or three months before the purification settlement by the Star Spirit Scroll... This is just the beginning. There will be even more next month." Lan Zhi was stunned for a moment before belatedly remembering that the most basic functions of the Star Spirit Scroll were to release purification tasks and conduct purification settlements. In the Star Spirit Continent, every cultivator would automatically bind with the Star Spirit Scroll after successfully drawing qi into their bodies and would passively receive purification tasks. Depending on their cultivation levels, they would kill different numbers and different levels of filthy creatures. This was the responsibility of every cultivator in the Star Spirit Continent, and no one could avoid it. Because only in this way could the erosion from the Filth Abyss be eliminated to the greatest extent. Speaking of the Filth Abyss, there was a tragic history. The Star Spirit Continent used to be a beautiful oval. One year, a ruined continent went off track and crashed into the Star Spirit Continent, leaving a bottomless chasm on the Star Spirit Continent. The filthy qi from the ruined continent poured into the chasm, breeding countless filthy creatures, and it became the Filth Abyss that no one dared to cross and no bird dared to fly over nowadays. The filthy qi in the Filth Abyss polluted the nearby flowers, plants, insects, fish, birds, and beasts, turning them into part of the filthy creatures as well. If they were not dealt with in time and spread out, it might lead the Star Spirit Continent into a catastrophic crisis. Therefore, the Lord of the Star Spirits released purification tasks to all cultivators through the Star Spirit Scroll. Lan Zhi was extremely talented. She had already drawn qi into her body on her own before having her star meridians tested and had successfully bound with the Star Spirit Scroll. But before she could do anything, she became a cripple. Up to now, the Star Spirit Scroll had never released a purification task for her. Of course, she had received a more important task through the Star Spirit Scroll—
