Capítulo 3: First Customer
Editor: Tehrn, Carolin
Ye Mo didn't think that there would be someone to ask for the price as soon as he set up his stall. He immediately stood up with surprised joy: "All the charms are 10,000 a piece—"
"You are psychotic!" Before Ye Mo finished speaking, he received those three words, followed by the backs of the two people walking off into the distance.
Ye Mo wasn't disappointed. After all, his charms could only be sold to those who could recognize their worth, only those with keen eyes could see that his charms carried a sliver of spiritual Chi.
But what made Ye Mo disappointed was that he had already set up his stall for five days in a row, and even if there were quite a lot of people who were asking, he hadn't been able to sell even one. More so, his charm stall had already become famous in the Sea Treasure Garden because of his charms sold for 10,000 a sheet.
On the 9th day, Ye Mo was beginning to give up. He was already certain that there was no one here that could recognize the worth of his products. Only he knew that these charms were worth more than 10,000, even 100,000 wouldn't be expensive for it. However, it was pointless as the talent amongst the charm makers could not be recognized.
Ye Mo decided today was the last day. If no one bought his charms today, he would go to a labor market and find a job first. Otherwise, he would not even be able to eat.
Ye Mo was very bored. He was ready to pack up the stall but the conversation between the man and woman walking over caught his attention. It was far but his hearing wasn't ordinary. He heard it very claer.
"Jingwen, this place is full of people who sell fake medicine. It's where people who believe the mystical come. You have already bought enough magical relics, I think you should stop. I already contacted a brain hospital in France which is said to be very famous. Why don't we transfer your mother to that hospital for treatment?" The one speaking was a tall and handsome man.
The woman was also quite tall, she had a cold face and an upper-class temperament, She was a beauty
However, this attractive woman looked frigid and seemed to be troubled by the look of her brows.
"Wang Peng, I didn't ask you to come with me. You came yourself. Has my mom not been to enough hospitals lately? You recommended 5 or 6 as well but to no avail. If you don't have the patience, you can leave if you want." This woman's tone was curt and unfeeling and, clearly, she didn't have a good impression of the handsome man beside her.
The other woman looked very soldierly, she only followed closely the woman called Jing Wen without speaking at all, and by the looks of it, also seemed to be her bodyguard.
Ye Mo thought, the woman said that her mother was unconscious for 3 years, so by the looks of it, her mother was probably in a vegetative state.
His almost level 1 mind clearing charm should be able to wake her up.
Thinking about this, he immediately started to promote: "Charms for sale! Possessed, vegetative states or impaired bodies, one of my charms will be effective, two of them can even bring a complete recovery…."
Ye Mo said this on purpose of course. His purpose was to see if he could do business with this pretty lady. If this woman could afford to visit multiple different countries, this definitely meant that she was wealthy. She wouldn't mind parting with 10 or 20 grand.
The troubled Su Jingwen heard that there was a charm that could cure vegetables and immediately felt as if she had heard heavenly music. She didn't even think before coming to Ye Mo's stall.
"May I ask, can you charms cure someone in a vegetative state?" Su Jingwen's voice was shaking, it was like a drowning person who grabbed a log.
Ye Mo smiled calmly said: "Of course, my charms can cure someone with only one breath remaining, much less someone in a vegetative state. They are passed down from my ancestor—"
Ye Mo was going to continue to conjure bullsh*t, but the lovely lady interrupted him and asked desperately: "My mother is in a vegetative state and I wish to wake her up. What charm do I need?"
Ye Mo nodded and made a contemplative and intense face and said, "This is simple, you only need to buy a spirit cleansing charm. I have two spirit cleansing charms. The high-quality one is 20,000, the common one is 10,000, and it is non-negotiable!"
"What, you cheater, how dare you swindle people on the streets! I'm calling the police immediately!" Hearing that two charms made out of Huang Biao were being sold for 30,000 dollars, this handsome guy named Wang Peng immediately became enraged, he pointed at Ye Mo's nose and swore.
Ye Mo slapped Wang Peng's hand to the side and gripped his hand sneakily so that Wang Peng would be unable to use his arm in the future. It wouldn't be seen now, but later on, when Wang Peng's hand would tense, his wrist would dislocate.
Ye Mo's movements were completed in one swift motion. Other people couldn't tell except for the soldierly looking woman who followed Su Jingwen and saw this. A glimmer of shock flashed across her eyes, but she immediately went back to her usual calm expression.
Kicking Wang Peng's hand to the side, Ye Mo spoke coldly: "I didn't make you buy it, what a joke, p*ss off, I'm doing business here so don't interfere with me!"
"How dare you—" Wang Peng's was so furious, but before he could finish, he was stopped by the cold looking woman.
"Wang Peng, please move aside," Su Jingwen said coldly to Wang Peng and then turned to Ye Mo saying apologetically: "Sorry, master."
"Jingwen, sells this palm-sized yellow paper for 10,000, it is so obvious that he's lying. Tens of thousands of dollar is a small matter but what if something happens to your mother?" Wang Peng still wanted to persuade her, but Su Jingwen's complexion turned cold. It was evident that she was getting impatient.
"You two can leave, I won't sell my things to you since this guy here is annoying me," Ye Mo pointed at Wang Peng and said to Su Jingwen.
Even if this person was tricking her, it was only tens of thousands of dollars, and that really wasn't much for her Su Family. As long as there was a sliver of hope, she wouldn't give up. Although in the depth of her heart, she also knew that this person's words were probably 99% fake, she still wanted to try nonetheless.
Su Jingwen stared coldly at Wang Peng and said: "Mr. Wang, you're free to leave. Please stop following me or I will be calling the police!"
Hearing Su Jingwen's words, Wang Peng stared bleakly at Ye Mo. Silently, he vowed bitterly that Ye Mo would face the music for his swindling. When he returned, he would call people to break this guy's arms and legs.
"I want all of your spirit cleansing charms here, how much is it?" Seeing Wang Peng had left, Su Jingwen asked desperately.
Ye Mo took the two spirit cleansing charms and said: "I worked my heart out for this, so of course, there won't be much; only these two, but you only need this good one. As for the other one, you can store it in a jade bottle and, usually, it would still be working in ten years. It will be 30,000 dollars for the two of them."
As he spoke, Ye Mo took the two spirit cleansing charms and gave them to Su Jingwen, while showing her the one that was close to level 1.
Su Jingwen took the two charms but gave him a 50,000 dollars cheque. Since Ye Mo wasn't someone who liked to take advantage of others, he took out another protection charm and fireball charm and gave them to Su Jingwen. He said: "Since you gave me 20,000, I'll give these two to you as well."
"This one is a protection charm. When you go back, put it in a small pouch and wear it on your body. As for the fireball one, it's for self-defense. If you encounter someone who tries to harm you. Just throw it over and say 'Lin'[1]."
After hearing Ye Mo's words, she hurriedly asked: "Master, how do I use this spirit cleansing charm?"
1: These charms usually refer to the ones made of paper. The paper bombs in Naruto are a good indication of what they look like, and most of them are consumables, so they could only be used once.
2: Huang Biao: Yellow paper used to inscribe runes.

Ye Mo took the cheque and said, "Just like the other one, simply throw the charm at the patient and say 'Lin'."
"Um, what is your last name, and would it possible for you to come see my mother with me? I will double that cheque as commission," taking the spirit cleansing charm, Jiang Li felt that her hasty mind seemed to be gradually calming. On top of that, this paper-looking charm weighed quite something which gave her more confidence in Ye Mo, and that's why she thought about inviting him.
Ye Mo waved his hand: "I don't need to go, this charm will definitely save that person."
Su Jingwen could only leave
....
The first thing Ye Mo did after getting the 50,000 dollars was to find a place to live because he needed some herbs to make some serums, and it wasn't convenient for him in the school; it would be much better if he rented a house outside.
The Ning Du district and the Ning Hai University where Ye Mo went to school were coincidentally on the north and south respectively. Although it was all in the same city, there were more than 30 km of road in-between. When Ye Mo had found Ning Du, it was already almost midnight.
There were two reason why he wanted to find somewhere to live far from the university. The first one was because he didn't want the people in the school to know his secrets, and the second was that he wished to run to the school in the future in order to train his body.
Just when Ye Mo gave up on looking for a house for the night, a little yard with faint traces of spirit Chi appeared in front of him. What gave Ye Mo an unexpected joy was that there was actually a sign saying "For Lease" on the yard.
"Who are you looking for?" as the door was knocked open by Ye Mo, a woman in her fifties appeared and scanned him. Meanwhile, Ye Mo forgot to reply to this woman because he saw that there was actually a Silver Heart Grass here. No wonder spirit Chi was emanating. He was surprised to see this herb here.
Ye Mo forced down the excitement in his heart and faced the woman who looked at him with a weird glance before he hurriedly said: "Aunty, I saw that this place was for lease and I want to rent it."
Hearing Ye Mo's words, she finally understood for his presence. It was someone looking to rent the house, so she quickly let Ye Mo come in.
After the conversation with her, Ye Mo finally understood how this place worked. This yard house had two rooms on the east and west as well as a living room. The house owner didn't want to rent the living room, and the room on the west side was already rented by someone else.
What took the woman by surprise was that she set the rent to be 1100 a month but this not-so-wealthy looking young man didn't even say anything and just paid out a year's rent straight away.
Ye Mo felt very pleased with his new residence. He still had tens of thousands of dollars on him right now, and for the moment, he didn't need to go out and earn money. Every day, he stayed in the yard to cultivate and also carefully moved the Silver Heart Grass into another flower pot.
After a month, Ye Mo also knew that the person living on the west side was a young woman in her twenties. However, Ye Mo cultivated every night and went into the yard every morning to practice martial arts. Meanwhile, the woman also seemed to go to work very early in the morning, and by the time she got back each day, Ye Mo had already begun cultivating in his room. Therefore, after a month, the two still didn't even see each other once.
There was still another half a month remaining before school started. This month of cultivation only made Ye Mo's Chi purer, but it was still far from the second stage of Chi Gathering. From this, it could be seen how much the spirit Chi in the world affected cultivation. However, his mortal martial arts didn't lag behind, and he was becoming more and more proficient.
Ye Mo also knew that if he wanted to reach stage 2 in this place, it would be impossible without the help of external things.
His only hope laid with the Silver Heart Grass in the yard. Yet, there was only one Silver Heart Grass, so Ye Mo wanted to keep this spirit grass alive. Ideally, it would bear seeds, and he could cultivate another batch.
Ye Mo walked out of his room and saw that there was a 20-year-old or so woman washing clothes in the yard. With one glance, he knew it was the lady living next door. Before, she always washed clothes at night. How come she didn't go to work today and washed clothes in the morning?
When Xu Wei saw Ye Mo walk into the yard, there was a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Hello, my name is Xu Wei, I live next to you, and I work at Li Kang Hospital."
Xu Wei was very open and greeted Ye Mo. Ye Mo also smiled and nodded: "I'm Ye Mo, a jobless nomad."
It was also Ye Mo's first time seeing Xu Wei, she was a very gentle-looking lady, and the smile on her face seemed genuine. Her hair was curled up on top of her head and didn't appear to be very long. However, her skin was very white.
The first thing he did was to look at his Silver Heart Grass and then proceeded to care for all the other flowers as well. Then, he planned to practice a set of fist techniques; however, remembering that Xu Wei was by his side, he greeted her and left.
Qing Du Lake Garden was the closest garden near where Ye Mo lived. Not only was the area big but there was also a clear lake.,
The air here wasn't bad, and the environment was obviously better than the yard. After finishing a set, Ye Mo was very satisfied, his Chi grew purer and, although it was still far from stage 2, it was good as long as he improved.
"Your fist technique is excellent, my friend. However, I've seen a lot of fist techniques, but I can't tell what fist technique you used. What a shame," just when Ye Mo was finishing up, a 30-year-old middle-aged man came over and complimented him.
Ye Mo smiled and answered, "I'm just practicing randomly by myself, it's nothing much."
"My name is Fang Weicheng. I can tell you have a great master, and my hands are itching to perform, how about we have a quick match?"
1: The "Lin" here literally means "arrival/arrive".
