Chapter 622 - Expensive Ferry Tickets
Qiao Yun raised his hand and picked up the auxiliary magic weapon on the counter, the magic weapon was extremely light and thin, Qiao Yun looked at it carefully, this thing was similar to the mask on the earth, but it was different, not only as thin as a piece of paper, but also extremely soft and had strong plasticity. Qiao Yun tried to glance at the auxiliary magic weapon in his hand with his divine sense, but he did not penetrate it, which made Qiao Yun very satisfied.
"Can I try it on?" Qiao Yun asked the shopkeeper as he played with the auxiliary magic weapon in his hand.
"Of course!" the shopkeeper made a gesture of please, patted the storage bag at his waist, and took out a large bronze mirror.
Qiao Yun slowly attached this magic weapon to his face, and as soon as he fitted it, a faint yellow light flashed throughout the auxiliary magic weapon, and after the yellow light faded, Qiao Yun found that a completely unfamiliar face appeared in the bronze mirror in front of him.
"Friend, this kind of auxiliary magic weapon that can transform the appearance is rare, and the high-grade magic weapon is even rarer, and this thing was also accidentally obtained by a friend of mine, and later placed it on consignment with me. As the name suggests, this artifact can be transformed into three different appearances, and even the monks in the later stages of construction cannot see through the illusion of this artifact. Just as Qiao Yun was carefully looking at himself in the mirror, the shopkeeper slowly introduced Qiao Yun.
After hearing this, Qiao Yun's heart moved, and he began to control the three illusions on his face with his divine thoughts, only to see a faint yellow light emerge again, and then a big man with a beard appeared in the bronze mirror, and after a while, the yellow light flashed again, and a cold, arrogant young face appeared in the mirror.
Looking at the three different faces in the mirror, Qiao Yun was extremely satisfied, and he already had a plan to put this magic weapon in his hand, but he still asked: "The shopkeeper said that this thing can make the monks in the later stage of foundation building unable to see through it, I don't know how to prove it?"
As soon as Qiao Yun's words fell, he felt a powerful divine sense reaching towards his face, and he didn't feel it in his heart, but although this divine sense was probing his face, Qiao Yun could clearly feel that the other party's divine sense could not penetrate the magic weapon on his face, but was completely blocked out of the magic weapon, which made Qiao Yun feel surprised and happy in his heart. What was surprising was that the owner of this refining shop was actually a monk in the late stage of foundation building, no wonder he was able to look at himself for the first time after entering the shop before, and the joy was naturally that these three illusions completely blocked the other party's divine sense, so that the other party could not see his true face.
The shopkeeper didn't have any malicious intent, he just poked out his divine sense and glanced at the three illusions, then he smiled and withdrew his divine sense, quietly looking at Qiao Yun in front of him.
Qiao Yun took a deep breath, slowly took off the three illusions, and gently put the three illusions back on the counter, and then asked, "Shopkeeper, I don't know how to sell this thing?"
"This 'Three Illusions' is a rare high-grade magic weapon, and the price I mark here is 1,300 spirit stones, but when my friend consigned it, he said that he could sell 1,000 spirit stones, so I see that you are very fond of this thing, and I also think that you are more like, so I will sell you 1,100 spirit stones, what do you think?"
Qiao Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "No, it's just 1,300 spirit stones." ”
The shopkeeper was full of question marks, and even thought that he had heard it wrong, he had always been a customer who bargained for the price, and this was the first time he had seen a customer who was going to buy at a higher price, could it be that this monk in front of him had nowhere to spend the spirit stone?
"I have one request, though. Qiao Yun quickly said.
"You say. ”
"I want to take the three illusions first, and then come to pay for them in the evening, and then pay all the spirit stones at once. Qiao Yun said bluntly.
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, he had never seen this kind of customer, and he actually wanted to take the things away without paying, if he hadn't seen Qiao Yun's unsmiling expression, the shopkeeper would have thought that Qiao Yun was here to have fun with himself.
After staring at Qiao Yun for a long time, the shopkeeper suddenly smiled, "Okay, you take it, when my refining weapon is spread out to Hai, I will wait here for you when you arrive." ”
"Thank you!" Qiao Yun saw that the boss agreed, solemnly hugged his fist at the boss, then raised his hand to pick up the three illusions on the counter, put them on his face, and then turned around and quickly left the refining shop.
Looking at Qiao Yun's departing back, the shopkeeper's eyes flickered slightly, he didn't believe that Qiao Yun, a small cultivator of the ninth layer of Qi cultivation, knew that he was a senior in the late stage of foundation building and dared to deceive his three illusions, if the other party couldn't come back with the spirit stone, then even if he ran out of Liucheng, he could easily catch him back.
Qiao Yun left the Qiu Clan's refining shop, and didn't go to other refining shops to ask, Qiao Yun guessed that there might already be people asking around about him now, if he frequently went to the refining shop to ask about the magic weapon that transformed the appearance, it would inevitably make people with a heart suspicious, so even if the refining shop opened by other monks and the magic weapon merchant opened by the five major chambers of commerce were better auxiliary magic weapons for transforming appearance, Qiao Yun would not ask again.
Walking towards the center of the East District, Qiao Yun saw a rather grand building with a very conspicuous signboard "Qiongxing Dan Building" hanging on it. Qiao Yun didn't hesitate and walked in briskly with a few monks.
After entering the Qiongxing Dan Building, Qiao Yun found that the space inside seemed to be much larger than the outside, there were hundreds of display cabinets on the first floor, and there was a dense flow of people in front of each display cabinet, among which there were not only monks, but also ordinary people, thinking that they were buying some pills that could prolong life and strengthen muscles and bones.
Qiao Yun transformed into the appearance of a scholar, blending in with the crowd, and did not approach the counter, but just glanced at the pills sold in each display case from a distance or two.
Qiao Yun found that the pills sold on the first floor seemed to be the first grade of the spirit level, in addition to the Pei Qi Pill and Hui Qi Pill that he had refined, there were also pills such as Bigu Pill, Detoxification Pill, and Runling Pill...... The types of pills can be described as varied, and Qiao Yun is a little dizzy to see it, there are still a lot of pills among them, and Qiao Yun has even heard of it for the first time, and there is no record in the alchemy experience of the Lord of the Fog Hidden Castle.
As for the price of these pills, they are not high, such as the Detoxification Pill and the Bigu Pill, only a dozen lower-grade spirit stones, and the more such as the Peiqi Pill are only more than thirty lower-grade spirit stones, which makes Qiao Yun frown. Qiao Yun originally thought that he could sell some pills and then return the money of the three illusions, but he didn't expect the pills here to be sold so cheaply, which caught Qiao Yun off guard.
After hesitating for a moment, Qiao Yun went up the stairs to the second floor of the Dan Tower, there were many fewer guests on the second floor than on the first floor, and there were no ordinary people anymore, and there were only monks who stopped or inquired in front of dozens of counters.
Qiao Yun glanced at it roughly, and his heart was slightly determined, the second floor sold were all second-grade elixirs, and the price of second-grade elixirs of the second grade of the spirit rank could be said to be more than double that of the first-grade elixir, ordinary ones such as Tongluo Dan also cost more than forty spirit stones, while expensive ones such as Da Pei Qi Dan cost about one hundred and twelve spirit stones, and the prices of different quality pills were not the same, and the top-grade pills were often more expensive than the lower-grade pills by more than a dozen to dozens of lower-grade spirit stones.
Without stopping, Qiao Yun quickly went up to the third floor of the Dan Tower. After going upstairs, Qiao Yun glanced at it and found that the monks who came to the third floor were even rarer, and most of the monks who went up to the third floor were in the foundation building period, and most of the monks in the Qi training period were monks from the ninth and eighth layers of Qi training.
Qiao Yun silently walked around the counter, and when he saw that the lower grade Qing Ling Pill of the third grade of the spirit rank could be sold for one hundred and eighty grade spirit stones, his heart was already settled, and then he stopped staying, walked downstairs quickly, and left the Qiongxing Dan Building in a blink of an eye.
Out of the Qiongxing Danlou, Qiao Yun turned into the Danlou opened by several other big chambers of commerce to take a look, and found that the price of the pills was about the same, so he didn't turn around, but patrolled around the street, wanting to find a Dan shop opened by a monk and sell some Qingling Pills.
Just as he was looking forward to it, Qiao Yun suddenly found a shop called "Shayuan Shipping", and his heart suddenly moved, and he walked in without hesitation.
The shop is not big, only one floor, but after entering the shop, what catches your eye is a huge formation, on which yellow text flashes, indicating the time and destination of the daily departure ship from Chengning Island, as well as the price of each cabin.
This was the first time Qiao Yun had seen this kind of auxiliary formation used to display information, and he was quite interested, staring at this auxiliary formation for a long time, but when Qiao Yun noticed the information displayed on it, he couldn't help but gasp.
Qiao Yun hurriedly looked behind him, and when he found that it was a special class, he breathed a sigh of relief, but when he looked down, he found that other cabins were not cheap, one thousand spirit stones in the first class, five hundred spirit stones in the second class, and one hundred spirit stones in the third class.
Looking at this expensive fare, Qiao Yun was secretly speechless, and said in his heart, how can the ordinary people of Chengning Island buy this ticket for a hundred spirit stones, I am afraid that my ancestors will not be able to leave this remote island for generations, even if it is a monk in the Qi cultivation period, I am afraid that there are only a few who can buy a second-class ticket.
Qiao Yun glanced at the prices of ferry tickets to other ports in Mozhou, which were basically the same, but the tickets to other islands were slightly cheaper, but this cheapness was also very limited.
After roughly understanding the price of the ferry ticket, Qiao Yun hurriedly looked at the departure times of several ships going to Mozhou, and found that there were ships leaving tomorrow and the next few days, which made Qiao Yun feel uncertain. But then Qiao Yun found that the tickets for the next two days were actually only the special class and first class tickets, and the rest of the tickets were sold out.
Qiao Yun frowned, the ticket for a thousand spirit stones was simply too expensive, but if he didn't leave in the past two days, he would inevitably have a lot of dreams at night. Not in the mood to continue watching, Qiao Yun turned around and walked out of the sand boat quickly.
Walking on the street, Qiao Yun kept thinking in his heart, Qiao Yun had planned to sell a batch of Qingling Pills in exchange for spirit stones, but now Qiao Yun knew that he might have to change his mind.
