The one who invited him to see the elixir was a woman. In order not to offend her, Hou Jiuming stopped without any impatience and said with a smile on his face.
"It seems that Fairy Tong has gained a lot recently. What kind of elixir is it? Take it out and let me see!" This girl's surname is Tong, her last name is the word "bell", and she is at the fifth level of Qi training.
She is one of the few female monks in the city.
Normally, since there are very few female monks, there is never a shortage of flatterers around her.
After Hou Jiuming stopped, Tong Ling took out a wooden box from a box on the seat, handed it to him and said, "Brother Hou, please take a look." When she spoke, she looked confident.
It seems certain that Hou Jiuming will definitely buy it.
He took the wooden box and opened it carefully, revealing a pearly white plant rhizome that looked like a human.
With Hou Jiu Ming's level of medical skills, he could immediately recognize that this medicine was the king of herbs, ginseng.
And it is also a spiritual ginseng that is over a hundred years old.
A single word difference, but a world of difference.
Ginseng, which is hundreds of years old, is not uncommon in this world.
Many high-ranking officials and nobles will keep them in their homes.
But spiritual ginseng is different. This thing is not only precious, but also very rare.
From ten thousand century-old ginseng plants, if one can grow, it is considered good.
Moreover, when it is not a panacea, it is a very precious medicinal material. When it becomes a panacea, it is even more precious.
Therefore, after just one glance, Hou Jiuming decided to buy it.
"Tongxianzi, please make a price!"
"They are all acquaintances, not to mention the fake ones. You can take the eight hundred low-grade spiritual stones!" This price was a decision Tong Ling made after careful consideration.
The market price of elixirs that are more than a hundred years old is like this, but if it is spiritual ginseng, the price will be one or two percent higher, that is, nine hundred to one thousand.
Originally, she could have sold it for a higher price, but the people she knew were all poor and couldn't even afford eight hundred, let alone one thousand.
The reason why I chose Hou Jiuming was because he knew that the other party selling talismans was worth a lot of money. The eight hundred spirit stones might be a huge sum of money to others, but it was not impossible for him to get them.
Even if you can't get so many spiritual stones at once, don't you still have talismans?
After hearing Tongling's quotation, Hou Jiuming thought about it and felt that the price was very fair, much lower than the market price, so he said,
"I'm in love with Fairy Chengtong. I want this spiritual ginseng, but I don't have that many spiritual stones. How about using this to pay the bill?" While speaking, Hou Jiuming reached into his arms and took out a cloth bag.
He handed it to Tong Ling.
Tong Ling took the bag without much expression and used the talisman to hold the spirit stone. It was expected, so there was nothing surprising.
But when she opened the palm-sized bag, a shocked expression immediately appeared on her face, but the shock quickly disappeared and she regained her composure.
However, if you look carefully, you will find that there is still a deep look of surprise in his eyes.
At the same time, Tong Ling's heart was overturned.
"The high-grade talisman, did you read it wrong? How could he get the high-grade talisman?"
In order to make sure that she was not dazzled just now, Tong Ling adjusted her mood and pretended to open the bag again as if nothing had happened.
The mouth of the small cloth bag opened, revealing the bluish talisman inside.
Talismans are graded according to their different colors.
Yellow () color belongs to the lowest level of talismans, with a total of three grades: upper, middle and lower.
Up above, there are blue, purple, silver, and gold.
From lowest to highest, they are yellow, blue, purple, silver, and gold.
Each grade has low grade, medium grade, and high grade.
As for the high-grade yellow talisman, because it was recently connected to the blue talisman, the produced talisman not only has complex runes on it and strong spiritual energy fluctuations, but also has a weak blue light on it.
The talismans in the bag conform to the standard of top-grade yellow talismans in every aspect.
At this point, Tong Ling was sure that this was the top-grade yellow talisman.
"Fellow Daoist Hou, are you sure you want to exchange these talismans for spiritual ginseng?"
He could see Tong Ling's expression and knew that she was in shock because of the high-grade talisman.
If possible, he really didn't want to exchange the high-grade talisman for it, but there were only a few spiritual stones left in his pocket, and the middle-grade talisman wouldn't be enough for eight hundred spiritual stones.
In desperation, he exchanged eight high-grade talismans for spiritual ginseng.
However, we have to leave here anyway. Even if the news spreads, it won't matter.
Maybe he was already in the Huating Sect at that time.
"Yes, I wonder if I can exchange it for Fairy Tong's spiritual ginseng?"
"It can be exchanged, of course it can be exchanged!" Although the spiritual ginseng is also very valuable, it is a whole piece and is simply unaffordable for many casual cultivators.
But the talisman is different. No matter how poor a casual cultivator is, they can still collect the spiritual stones needed to buy a talisman.
At that time, if you increase the price slightly, you can make back the money lost from selling spiritual ginseng.
Maybe there will still be a profit.
With this thought in her mind, Tong Ling quickly agreed and couldn't wait to put the bag into her arms.
And here, after Hou Jiuming saw that the transaction was over, he was also ready to close the lid of the spiritual ginseng and put it away with a smile on his face.
But at this moment, an urgent voice sounded.
"Wait a minute, I want this spiritual ginseng!"
Hearing the sound, Hou Jiuming turned his head, Tong Ling raised her head, and some stall holders nearby also cast their eyes over.
I saw a young man with an aura looming all over his body, his head held high and his chest looking down, walking towards Tong Ling's stall with his hands behind his back.
During this process, he stared at Ling Shen, not paying any attention to the two people who had already reached a deal.
Seeing the arrogant expression on the visitor's face, Hou Jiuming narrowed his eyes slightly, and his thoughts were rapidly tumbling in his mind.
"The face is so strange. I haven't seen it before. It must be from somewhere else. The clothes are radiating spiritual light. You are so coquettish. Could it be a magic weapon?
Ji Huan said last night that an alchemist from the Huating Sect would come, could this person be the alchemist from the Huating Sect?"
Tong Ling, who was on the other side, immediately showed an unhappy expression after seeing how rude the visitor was.
As one of the few female cultivators in Huajiangfang City, usually the male cultivators in Huajiangfang City are not always looking to please, but even if they are not trying to please, they are all kind.
This is the first time I have encountered someone like the man in front of me.
Therefore, after she glanced at the other person, she directly withdrew her gaze and chose to ignore it.
When she thinks about it, I don't owe you anything, so why do you show me this expression? Do you really think that you are the protagonist of the world, and others have to accommodate you wherever you go?
Go ahead and dream.
Just when Hou Jiuming was thinking and Tong Ling ignored them, the man didn't care about the two people's silence and directly reached out to take the thing in Hou Jiuming's hand.
Although Hou Jiuming was thinking, as a late-stage Qi practitioner, his spiritual consciousness was always external.
