The five people were in the center of Fang, after entering and exiting several chambers of commerce, casual cultivator alliances, and even shops opened by the demon clan.
Although Yuan Zhaoxi and Lu Xiaoyao were wealthy, the money provided by their family was just enough to buy a high-grade spiritual material.
Yuan Zhaoxi purchased a piece of wood-attribute spiritual material "Shenxiao Thunder Strike Wood". This wood is a branch of a thousand-year-old sycamore tree that was struck by lightning. It contains the power of thunder and fire and is also a rare and precious material. It cost three
A piece of spiritual essence.
Lu Xiaoyao bought a piece of earth-attribute spiritual material "Star Zhenzhen Huang Jing". This soil is unique to southern Xinjiang. It has been nurtured for thousands of years. Its color is crystal clear, its nature is impermanent, and its quality is diffuse and solid.
It is considered to be the top grade of the Five Elements Spiritual Items and is worth two pieces of spiritual essence.
But Bai Liming, Zuo Sisi, and Zhou Jiang still had nothing to gain. Bai Liming barely managed to get enough of one spiritual essence after selling some demon pills and ordinary pills.
The same is generally true for Zuo Sisi, but General Zhou only has more than fifty spiritual jade. Although it can be considered a fortune for an ordinary cultivator, it is still not enough to buy top-grade Five Elements spiritual materials.
It is precisely because high-grade five-element spiritual materials are rare and casual cultivators cannot sustain their financial resources, so in addition to using low-grade spiritual materials to reluctantly refine them, they also find another way to use the souls of monsters and beasts as the main material for refining to improve the five-element spiritual materials.
grade.
Although this has to be done and the power of casting spells is quite good, it will lead to an unstable foundation and it will be difficult to improve the realm. Not to mention breaking through the Gongqian Realm to reach the True Realm, but it is the threshold from the early to the middle Gongqian Realm.
, are difficult to cross.
The three of them can't afford top-grade spiritual materials now, and they don't like other spiritual materials. They have limited financial resources and can only budget carefully. They don't dare to buy items easily. For a while, they can only feel helpless.
Because the spiritual objects they purchased were different, it was a waste of time for everyone to purchase them together. Later, several people discussed and acted separately, and would meet at the inn at the same time.
Bai Liming went alone to the outskirts of the market town, where there were temporary stalls set up by retail traders, to see if he could find any opportunities.
After wandering around for more than half an hour, he didn't find any valuable spiritual materials, so he sighed and wanted to find a teahouse to drink tea and rest.
Walking to the corner of the stall, there was a young man with a sallow face and thin skin. He placed a lot of bottles and cans in a simple stall. Bai Liming didn't pay attention. He glanced at the items as he passed by. The items had little aura and there was nothing worth looking at.
of.
At this moment, he suddenly stopped, and a scroll placed in the corner of the stall attracted him. Although the scroll did not have any spiritual energy fluctuations, the starlight in the Niwan Palace between his eyebrows suddenly jumped, as if he sensed something.
.
Baili Ming calmly picked up the scroll and opened it to reveal a three-foot-long landscape painting. The painting was rough and the paper was inferior. It was just an ordinary thing, and no one would even care about it.
But as the scroll unfolded, the stars in Baili Mingniwan Palace beat more violently, and he realized that there must be something fishy about this thing.
Bai Liming asked casually: "Stall owner, how can I buy this scroll?"
The young man with shabby clothes and a sallow complexion had been setting up the stall for almost a day, and few people came to inquire about prices. When he heard Bai Liming's words, he immediately replied with bright eyes:
"Master Immortal, this scroll is an ancestral artifact of my family. Although there is nothing magical about it, it looks like an ancient artifact at first glance. If you like it, just give me a spiritual jade."
Bai Liming frowned. If his own starlight hadn't sensed this item, most people probably wouldn't even take a glance at it. This young man opened his mouth and saw a spiritual jade, which was really the idea of butchering a fat sheep.
Taking retreat as an opportunity to advance, he threw the scroll to the young man and said lazily:
"It's just such a broken scroll, and you're still asking for an exorbitant price. Forget it, you'd better keep it for yourself."
After saying that, he turned around and left. The young man hurriedly grabbed Bai Liming's clothes and said with a smile on his face:
"Master Immortal, please don't be angry. We can still negotiate. I only need thirty spiritual gems for this scroll. What do you think?"
Bai Liming pondered for a while. Although he knew that as long as he kept bargaining, it was possible to win twenty or even ten Lingbi, he couldn't bear to see the pitiful and precarious appearance of the young man.
"Well, I just saw that the painting on this thing is good and can be used as a decoration, otherwise I wouldn't buy it."
Bai Liming took out thirty spiritual gems and handed them to the young man. Just when the young man was about to take them with excitement and joy, something happened suddenly.
A thick palm stopped him, and a tall and muscular man with a sinewy face appeared in front of the two of them. After glancing sideways at Baili Ming with his two triangular eyes, he said to the young man in a sinister tone.
:
"Wait a minute, I am also very interested in this thing. How about I offer you a spiritual jade and sell it to me?"
The sallow-faced young man's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he opened his mouth to agree, but at this moment Baili Ming said calmly:
"Buying has its own rules, first come, first served. I have already negotiated the price with the stall owner and reached a deal, but you want to buy and sell by force. Isn't it appropriate both emotionally and rationally?"
The tall man's face shook and he chuckled:
"Since the final delivery has not yet been made, it does not count as a deal. Of course I can buy it. Let's compete fairly. The one with the highest price will win. Do you agree, stall owner?"
The young man running the stall was naturally happy when he heard this. He pretended to be hesitant and said with a smile: "This hero is right, the one with the highest price will get it, it is fair and just."
As he spoke, he did not dare to look at Bailiming, but looked at the big man for help. The big man laughed:
"Okay, the stall owner is so happy, I am willing to pay an extra jade to show my sincerity."
Bailiming looked at the young man running the stall, and then at the strong and powerful man. He couldn't help but wonder if this big man was a swindler. The two of them were playing a double act here just to raise the price and cheat themselves.
He thought for a while, no matter what, since Starlight's induction means that this thing has some use, he still can't give up easily, but he doesn't want to get entangled here, and then said:
"I will offer up to five spiritual jades at most. If you agree, stall owner, we will trade. If you don't agree, I will give it up."
The strong man grinned and said, "Five at most? Okay, then I'll give you ten."
After saying that, he looked at Bai Liming provocatively, waiting for the other party to be irritated and refrain from provocation before bidding.
Unexpectedly, Bai Liming held up his hands to the stall owner and walked away without saying a word, leaving only the young man running the stall and the strong man with big eyes staring at him.
The young man running the stall timidly asked: "This strong man, hero, immortal master, can I wrap this scroll for you?"
The strong man did not expect that Bai Liming would give up at the word of giving up. He stood blankly on the spot for a moment. When he heard the shopkeeper's question, he felt very angry. He spent ten spiritual jade in vain to buy such a shabby thing, and he was really unwilling to do so.
His original intention this time was to cause trouble for Bai Liming, make him angry, and then take advantage of the situation to fight back. In this way, even if the Taoist sect pursues the case, it will not cause too much trouble. He never thought that Bai Liming would not accept the attack at all, and he would be in trouble.
Difficult.
He glanced at the young man running the stall and spat viciously:
"Bah, how dare this piece of junk ask me for ten spiritual jade? Even if it's your grandma's and it's for free, I won't even look at it, so get out and don't make yourself uncomfortable."
After saying that, he also walked away. The young man running the stall dared to be angry but did not dare to say anything. He watched the other party leave blankly and could only sigh and feel sorry for himself.
Suddenly, he slapped his head, packed up the things on the stall, and ran all the way, chasing Bai Liming in the direction where he left.
