With the newly acquired money in his arms, Zhou Tai left the store happily.
I originally planned to buy the Jade Slip of Knowledge on the Nine Basics of Immortal Cultivation, but unfortunately the monk who set up the stall was no longer there.
Some stores also sell it, but they sell a standard low-grade spiritual stone?
Is this the idea of having a good idea? I also had an attitude of asking and seeing, maybe the products sold here are more comprehensive than those sold by the monks who set up stalls.
Because there is more content, it is the most expensive?
"What is the geographical distribution of these nine basic knowledge jade slips in the world of immortality?" Zhou Tai asked the monks in the shop.
"The geographical distribution includes detailed information about more than a dozen nearby sects." The answer was this, and then he added: "All shops in the city have standard prices and fair prices."
In response to this, Zhou Taixin said: I believe you. If I hadn't asked about the price at the street stall, maybe I would really believe it.
Although I really want to buy it, the price has increased tenfold, and I am not short of money. I will wait and see if there are any stalls selling it.
After turning around and leaving, Zhou Tai somewhat understood that the monks who set up street stalls were selling items that they did not need, and if they did not want to spend too much time and were eager to sell, the prices would often be very low.
Shops belong to land-based households and are not in a hurry to sell. They often have a full range of items. When a monk wants to buy something, he can accept a higher price. Therefore, the same items are often much more expensive in shops than in street stalls.
It is estimated that there are many monks who cannot sell them in the end and will sell them to shops at low prices, but there will also be special circumstances.
Just like the nine jade slips of basic knowledge in the world of immortality, many stores sell them, and they still have them in stock. I don’t know how long it will take to sell them out. Maybe a new version will appear before they are sold out, so almost no one takes them, or the price
The pressure is almost nothing.
Another situation is that after receiving items, the store is not sure how long it will take to sell them, so the pressure on the purchase is often very low. This also causes some monks to like to set up their own stalls.
After making this discovery, Zhou Tai suddenly thought, would there be monks selling magic weapons at street stalls? And the prices are not expensive? Look for it yourself.
But after walking around the entire market, I didn't see any monks selling magic weapons.
I don’t know when this kind of street stall will appear. It seems that this is a process that requires long-term squatting. Finally, Zhou Tai thought in his mind.
With money in hand, Zhou Tai went to a shop selling jade.
"What do you want to buy, fellow Taoist? Our store has a complete range of magic weapons, elixirs, and various spiritual objects." The shopkeeper in the store asked first when he saw Zhou Tai come in.
"Jade! I buy jade!"
"The jade in our shop is of the highest quality for making jade slips. Many Taoist friends come here to buy it. A jade stone the size of a jade slip costs one coin. How many pieces should a Taoist friend buy?"
"Is there any bigger one?" Jade slip-sized jade is too small to be used as a spiritual stone. He had seen a large piece of jade before and heard the price. He didn't intend to buy an expensive one. He just wanted to lead the conversation.
.
"A whole piece of high-quality jade, this one-foot-sized one, five standard lower-grade spiritual stones. This one-foot-two size, six standard lower-grade spiritual stones, this one..." the shopkeeper began to introduce.
"Is there anything cheaper?" Looking left and right, I felt the price was a bit expensive.
"Cheap? Any quality will do?" After looking Zhou Tai up and down, the shopkeeper seemed to understand something.
"I need to take a look first." Those who do business are indeed smart people, and the shopkeeper is very smart, Zhou Tai thought silently.
After a while, the shopkeeper brought out several very large pieces of jade.
"These are jade stones of slightly lower quality. It is impossible to make jade slips. I originally planned to make small objects such as teapots or chessboards. If fellow Taoists want to make special 'things', it is no problem."
Finally, he seemed to give Zhou Tai a look that all men understand.
Zhou Tai didn't understand the special stuff in the words at all, but he understood that the shopkeeper planned to sell these jade stones, and they wouldn't be too expensive.
Zhou Tai was originally going to give up simply because he found out that he couldn't add any strengthening points, but after taking another look, he felt something wasn't right.
I carefully observed these pieces of jade. The jade in the low-spirited land is generally not too big. The smallest of these pieces is half a meter. The size is not the key, but I always add some to the jade before. I can’t say how much I care about the jade.
I understand, but it is basically possible to tell what kind of jade can be added with points. The problem is that it can be added by looking at the appearance of the jade.
In the end, Zhou Tai spent three coins to buy one piece, and decided to study it carefully after going back.
Zhou Tai planned not to leave until the casual cultivators who came to sell magical artifacts came to the market. Immortal cultivators were used to eating and sleeping in the open air. He could just sit on the street corner of the market and be done with it. He didn't plan to dig a hole in front of the public.
It is better not to dig a hole at all. If something goes wrong, it will easily be blocked. This is commonly known as catching a turtle in an urn and catching it with ease.
I didn’t want to leave, but when it got dark, the market closed, and someone politely asked me to leave. This time, the suit of the Liuyun Sect’s handyman disciple didn’t work well either.
It turns out that in this market, except for rented shops, people have to leave at night. During the night, the entire market will activate all defense formations.
What's on the outside can't get in, and what's on the inside can't get out.
After leaving Fangshi, Zhou Tai did not go too far, but dug a hole somewhere, expanded it a little, and completed a temporary residence.
Starting from tomorrow, check in at every market, believe it or not, you won’t encounter casual cultivators selling magic weapons!
Cave! Cave! This should count for him, right? At a certain moment, Zhou Tai had this thought.
After busying himself with the mundane things he still owned, eating, drinking, and eating, Zhou Tai began to study the jade from before.
I looked left and right and searched with my spiritual sense, but found nothing.
At a certain moment, as if feeling blessed, Zhou Tai drew his knife and cut off a small piece from the large jade stone.
Then something magical happened: a small piece of jade was cut off, and a prompt suddenly appeared, which can be strengthened.
For a moment, Zhou Tai was stunned.
After thinking for a long time, Zhou Tai said something in his mind: The strengthening point is really good. Can you strengthen the little baby? Not the big baby?
So, you can't add strengthening points to objects that are too big? The restrictions suddenly became so big. Then Zhou Tai thought about himself, if the living body is larger, it can also add strengthening points, and there will be a lot of points that need to be added?
Is that so? It doesn’t seem right, because all the plant-based spiritual herbs and elixirs Zhou Tai has seen so far indicate that you can add some, but as for animal life, there is no one that can be added so far.
If you don’t understand what you are thinking, Zhou Tai will stop thinking.
Then he took out the spiritual stones he got from selling monster beasts today and compared them with the spiritual stones he made with the strengthening points.
Zhou Tai didn't notice any difference. If he hadn't had the hint that he could recover the strengthening points, he would have been so stupid that he couldn't tell the difference between the two spirit stones.
