Act 1 Xiao Nanguo Chapter 48 Adventures in Jianghai Tower
"Fellow Taoist, is there anything else you need?"
Yuande's eyes shone with anticipation.
Qin Shaoyou pondered for a moment and said:
"I also need some talismans, formations and the like. Do you know of any that are reliable?"
"Yes, yes, fellow Taoist, please come with me!"
Yuande was so happy that he immediately led the way and led this big customer straight to the destination stall.
After some negotiations, Qin Shaoyou gained a lot of useful things.
Regular consumables such as flame talisman and ivy talisman have been replenished.
To his surprise, he saw another pair of phantom talismans.
Although this phantom talisman was very expensive and required ten middle-grade spiritual stones, Qin Shaoyou didn't even blink and immediately made a deal with the stall owner.
This made Yuan De frightened.
The latter became more and more respectful to him, and had already concluded in his heart that Qin Shaoyou was a disciple of a certain hidden sect!
Otherwise, how could he have obtained so many spiritual stones?
After purchasing the talismans, Qin Shaoyou visited the stalls selling formations.
However, these monks who sell formations are very thieves. They sell damaged and incomplete formations.
Isn't this a scam?
He shook his head and reluctantly gave up his plan to purchase the formation.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, what's the matter? Didn't you like it?"
Yuande asked tentatively.
He naturally hopes that Qin Shaoyou will buy more, so that he can get more commissions.
But Qin Shaoyou still left.
Yuan De followed immediately.
After walking a few steps, he saw an inconspicuous stall.
This stall and its surroundings must be much smaller. There are only a few jade slips and a pile of books on the stall.
The stall owner lowered his head, holding a copy of "Feng Hua Lu" and giggling.
Qin Shaoyou walked over and scanned the stalls. There were many books on them that recorded anecdotes and strange things.
He picked up one of the books called "Shang'an Weiwen Lu" and flipped through it. There were many legends about immortal masters subduing demons and eliminating demons and upholding justice.
"interesting..."
He then glanced at it a few more times, then turned over the jade slip and took a look.
One of the yellow-level Taoist scrolls called "Ice Palm" caught his attention.
Ice-attributed Taoist magic requires ice-attributed spiritual roots to exert its greatest effect, and ice-attributed spiritual roots belong to the attributes of alien spiritual roots, so basically no one cares about this Taoist skill.
"How much is it?"
The stall owner glanced at him.
"One hundred low-grade spiritual stones!"
He replied slightly impatiently.
Many people are curious about this Ice Palm, but it is impossible for most people to practice it.
There are many people asking for prices and few placing orders.
The stall owner thought Qin Shaoyou was also such a curious person.
"Okay, I want it!"
Qin Shaoyou immediately threw him ten low-grade spiritual stones, and before he came to his senses, he continued to walk to the next stall.
The stall owner froze on the spot and came to his senses after several breaths.
"Hey, I have something else here..."
By this time, Qin Shaoyou had already disappeared into the crowd.
The stall owner looked so regretful that his intestines turned green with regret.
He actually didn't even notice what Qin Shaoyou looked like or what he was wearing.
"Who was it just now?"
"Is it a boy or a girl?"
"This ice property is so feminine, the person who bought it must be a fairy!"
He thought so, holding the spiritual stone in his hand and bursting with joy.
It seems like there is still residual warmth up there...
Elsewhere, Qin Shaoyou shivered coldly.
He came to the stall selling magical artifacts and bought a snake scale shield and a bull armor from here.
There is also a spiritual pet bag.
Monsters cannot be stored in storage bags, but spiritual pet bags can.
In order to prevent Erha from causing trouble for him again, he decided to buy a spiritual pet bag and go back to give Erha a surprise.
And these are obviously worth a lot of money.
Yuande smiled happily, he was lucky today.
At this moment, Qin Shaoyou's expression changed slightly.
Then, he calmly continued to browse a few stalls, but his attention was focused on the back of the crowd.
Ever since he left Old Man Bai's stall, these people had been following him from a distance.
"To be honest, my surname is Sima, and my real name is Sima Yuan."
"This Jianghu Tower is run by our family..."
Now it was Qin Shaoyou's turn to be surprised.
"Isn't the Sima family a family of immortal cultivators? How come you..."
When Sima Yuan heard this, an unspeakable look flashed in his eyes.
"It's a long story. I'm not popular in my family..."
Qin Shaoyou nodded and did not continue to ask.
"Thank you so much for your help today, Brother Sima. Please accept it for your small kindness!"
He took out ten middle-grade spiritual stones from his arms.
The Sima family is a family that cultivates immortality. No matter what, it is better to be on good terms with the people in the family than to be at odds with them.
The latter was very surprised, and after a moment's hesitation, he still took the spirit stone.
"Who was following me just now?"
"Those are the spies from Muyun Villa. I often deal with them. I know them, but they don't know me."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have pursued him so recklessly."
Muyun Villa!
Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but feel a little angry.
It seems that Meng is determined not to give up!
not good!
Erha is still at the inn!
Thinking of this place, Qin Shaoyou became a little anxious to go back.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, if I guess correctly, you are preparing to participate in the treasure appraisal conference, right?"
Sima Yuan knew very well that Qin Shaoyou was not an ordinary casual cultivator. For him, it would be a gratifying thing to be friends with a disciple of a hidden sect.
"Do you know about this treasure appraisal conference?"
He couldn't help but slow down his pace.
"The Treasure Appraisal Conference is a grand event every year in our Yunzhou City. The items sold at each conference are extremely expensive. It is difficult for people without strength to escape from the conference!"
Although Sima Yuan didn't say it clearly, Qin Shaoyou could still understand what he meant.
The high-level monks don't like the things at this small trade fair, but the things at the treasure appraisal conference are another matter!
If you don’t have the ability to protect yourself, don’t go into this muddy water!
However, Qin Shaoyou came here just to improve his cultivation, so he had to go to this treasure appraisal conference no matter what.
"Thank you for reminding!"
"There's something else I don't know. Do you really need an invitation letter to participate in the treasure appraisal conference?"
Sima Yuan nodded.
"It does happen."
"In order to confirm that all participants have the ability to participate in the treasure appraisal, Xingyun Pavilion requires everyone to come up with at least 300,000 low-grade spiritual stones as a guarantee before they can enter the venue."
"And these 300,000 low-grade spiritual stones will be returned after the conference, and an invitation letter will be given to participate in the treasure appraisal conference next year."
"Of course, you don't need the spirit stone in the second year, you just need to show the invitation letter."
Qin Shaoyou was stunned when he heard this.
Three hundred thousand low-grade spiritual stones?!
That’s 30,000 middle-grade spiritual stones!
This is too exaggerated!
His storage bag is full, and there will be no more than 10,000 stones!
Besides, he has already used a lot of it.
What to do?
He actually doesn't even have the qualifications to get started?
There was a time when he thought he was a rich man.
Poverty limited his imagination.
Sima Yuan saw that he looked troubled, so he asked tentatively:
"Fellow Daoist Qin, do you really want to participate in the Treasure Appraisal Conference?"
"That's right!"
Qin Shaoyou took back his thoughts and looked at the other party.
"Besides paying a deposit, is there any other way to enter?"
Sima Yuan smiled helplessly.
"There is a way, but..."
"But what?!"
"If fellow Taoists can come up with any rare treasures, such as body materials of second-level monsters and above, magic weapons above Xuan level, Taoist magic, or immortal herbs that are hundreds of years old, etc., take these things to the entrusting star
If you appraise treasures in the Meteor Pavilion, you can enter the venue as the client..."
Qin Shaoyou cried out in his heart: Damn it.
"Thanks for letting me know!"
"I still have something to do, so I need to take a step forward!"
"Wait a minute, if you go out now, you will easily be targeted by those spies again!"
"I know there is a path. It's safe to walk there!"
