165. Buying and selling
The size of the night market is beyond Lingyu's imagination.
The wooden houses, interspersed with tents, are simple but neat and orderly. Signs, guys, stewards, you name it.
As soon as Lingyu entered the night market, what she saw was a crowded and crowded scene.
is so lively, it is not worse than the market of Feilian City!
In front of the tent, there are all rental stalls, and as long as a spirit stone, you can set it up all day. If there are not many things, you can still share a room with others, and ordinary qi refining cultivators who don't have many spirit stones will do this. Wooden houses, on the other hand, were built on a temporary basis and required a significant amount of rent. These revenues are just enough to subsidize the war expenditure.
To identify something, it is natural to go to the big merchants; Buy rune paper and other things, you can pick up cheap ones at the stall; To sell pills, it is better to go to a trade fair; Sell longevity water, if there is an auction, it is the best.
There are big businesses and small vendors, there are night markets, I don't know if there are any people organizing fairs and auctions, if not, I will pick up a good reputation and sell it.
Lingyu looked as she walked, stopping from time to time to ask about the price, and occasionally found some small items. For example, there is a stall specializing in selling broken cheats, and she has all the sword tricks in it, and the stones of other mountains can attack jade, anyway, her swordsmanship is miscellaneous enough, so she can simply make a hodgepodge. There is also a stall that sells some strange jewelry, and I picked a few to give to Fang Xinyan. In such a sporadic total, it actually cost more than a hundred spirit stones.
Eventually, she entered a large shop.
In the lower right corner of the signboard of this shop, there is a small mark, which is carefully identified as a rune variant of the word Wushuang. Lingyu had heard Fang Xinyan say it. Wushuang is a business alliance originating from the Xingluo Sea. The scale is huge. Rich to rival the country. In recent years, the Wushuang Business Alliance has developed in Lingcang, and has established a branch in almost every immortal city, with abundant funds and a very good reputation.
As soon as she entered the shop, the well-trained man greeted her with a smile on his face: "Cyclamen come to our store, I wonder what can I do?" β
Lingyu said: "Appraisal, buy and sell." β
"Oh? I wonder what kind of cyclamen need to be identified? β
There are many strange things in the world of cultivating immortals. Before buying or selling, you need to appraise, and many big stores come with this service for a fee. Appraisal is very similar to the appraisal of worldly antiques, whether things are worth anything or not, it is all in the words of the appraiser, therefore, credibility is particularly important, most monks. If you are looking for an appraiser, you will go to the big store pΓΉ.
ββ¦β¦ Well, utensils. and some pills. β
The man showed his understanding and led her into the small reception room: "Please wait here." β
As soon as the spiritual tea was delivered, after taking a sip, the appraiser arrived, this is a young Qi refining cultivator, looking at his face, he is only in his twenties, and his actual age should not exceed forty years old.
He walked up to Lingyu and politely saluted: "Contemptible appraiser Su Heming, dare to ask, but the cyclamen needs to be identified?" β
Appraiser is a profession that requires a lot of experience, so many people are used to judging by age, which is a bit one-sided, but it is not unreasonable. For example, this Su Heming is definitely not a senior appraiser, first, he is not very old, and second, senior appraisers generally have a very high status, and there is a special appraisal room, which will not be used to receive her, an ordinary foundation building monk.
"Exactly, Master Su, please."
After Su Heming sat down, Lingyu took out things from the Qiankun bag one by one: "I have some pills here, please take a look at Master Su." β
The bottles, jars, and boxes she took out were all made of jade, and the runes she drew to prevent the aura from escaping were the correct way to store the precious elixir.
Su Heming's eyes lit up, he took out the utensils box from the Qiankun bag, opened it, and there were dense identification tools inside.
He first took a thin jade plate and poured out the elixir in the jade bottle.
Jade is the most friendly material for aura, which can preserve aura to the greatest extent, and Su Heming's jade plate has almost no impurities, which can ensure that the elixir will not be contaminated during the identification process.
First look, then smell, and then carefully dip some powder with jade chopsticks to carefully distinguish the materials inside.
After a while, Su Heming poured the pill back into the jade bottle and said: "This is a kind of elixir for the maintenance of the Yuan Shen, called Yanglin Dan, the main ingredient is Sansheng Flower, which was originally a five-grade pill, but the alchemist is highly skilled, and there are almost no impurities, so it can be listed as a six-grade pill." β
The fifth, sixth, and seventh grades of the pill correspond to the pill period, that is, this is an pill taken during the pill period. Su Heming's appraisal results were roughly consistent with Lingyu's previous guess. In the end, it is a big shop, an ordinary appraiser, and the standard is also very good.
The elixir of the Dan period is very difficult for an ordinary appraiser like him to encounter, Su Heming cherished this opportunity, and carefully appraised it for a long time before he completed the identification of all the six elixirs taken out of Lingyu, the lowest four grades, the highest seven grades, and then issued the corresponding price.
The elixirs in the Lingyu Qiankun bag are far more than these, taking too much at one time, it is too eye-catching, as long as she sells some of them, it is enough for her to spend, and the rest is good to keep for her own use, or give it to the master.
After some haggling, Lingyu sold most of them, earning two thousand eight hundred spirit stones. This made her secretly sigh, alchemist is really an extremely lucrative profession, and when converting materials, it is only a few hundred spirit stones.
"By the way, I still have a small bottle of immortal water here, I don't know if your store will accept it?" Lingyu looked at Su Heming with a smile.
"Immortal water?" Su Heming was slightly stunned, thought for a moment, and asked excitedly, "But the immortal water born from stalactites?" β
Lingyu nodded.
Su Heming hurriedly asked, "Can you take a look?" β
Lingyu hesitated for a moment and took out the immortal water: "Only these, Master Su can be careful." β
"Cyclamen rest assured." Su Heming couldn't wait and grabbed it.
He opened the cork of the small jade bottle, sniffed it very carefully, did not dare to pour it out, only judged the quality with the help of a few traces on the cork, and after a while, he closed the cork with a smile and put it on the table: "It is indeed immortal water, and the quality is intact." Among the various materials, the price of immortal water is not high, but it is rare, and I have only seen it once before. β
"How do you price this item?"
Su Heming groaned slightly, and said: "The market price is one hundred spirit stones per drop, and we will collect it, which is slightly cheaper, ninety spirit stones." β
Lingyu shook her head lightly: "Master Su's words are a little untrue, right?" The market price is certainly the same, but rare things are expensive, and rare things can be judged by market price? If a monk searches all over the market and can't find the water of immortality, but finds it in your shop, how to set the price, it's not up to you to decide? β
"Hehe, the situation that the cyclamen said is too coincidental, how can you only look at coincidences when doing business." Su Heming replied calmly.
"It's a coincidence that it's placed in other small shops, but isn't it a big business like yours that wants to do everything?"
"......" Su Heming thought for a moment, "Ninety-five spirit stones, it's not good anymore." β
Lingyu just laughed and didn't speak.
The two were in a stalemate for a while, and Su Heming broke the silence again and sighed: "Then one hundred, the market price is charged, which is already very sincere." β
Lingyu still didn't answer.
Su Heming persisted for a moment, helpless, so he had to take another step back: "Add one more, this price is very fair, no matter how much, it is not a contemptible second-class appraiser who can call the shots." β
Lingyu pretended to think about it for a while, and when he saw that he didn't mean to increase the price again, he relented: "Okay." β
Seeing Su Heming happily receiving the immortal water, Lingyu suspected that he was still selling it cheaply. She hasn't mixed much in the market, and she's not very good at bargaining, so it seems that she will have to practice more in the future.
"Do cyclamen have anything to sell?" Su Heming finally restrained his smile and asked politely.
Lingyu said: "A while ago, Master Zun returned from treasure hunting and gave a few things, but I can't figure out what the material is, so I ask Master Su to identify it." As he spoke, he took out the inkstone, paperweight and other items from the Qiankun bag.
Su Heming took out a soft cloth and wiped his hands, put on gloves, and picked up the paperweight.
This paperweight is sandalwood, calm and solemn, extremely heavy to start, like amber crystals condensed, and it looks very good.
The more Su Heming looked at it, the more he admired, and played with it for a while before putting it down: "This thing is called Dream Back Stone, which is produced in Da Mengze, and has the effect of calming the mind." The dream back stone of the cyclamen has almost no impurities, it is still such a complete piece, there are no ten thousand spirit stones, I am afraid that I can't buy it. β
"Ten thousand spirit stones!" Lingyu was taken aback by this number.
"No, if it is put at auction, it should be higher." Although Su Heming is a professional appraiser, he is only of the second grade, and the things identified are generally not more than a thousand spirit stones, and it is rare to see such a precious thing.
Lingyu hurriedly put away the paperweight: "In this case, I'll send it back and let the master dispose of it." β
Su Heming was extremely pity: "Such a big dream back stone is made into a paperweight, which is the most useful for the talisman maker, followed by the array mage...... Are cyclamen really not ready to sell? β
Lingyu shook her head resolutely.
Su Heming had no choice but to give up and take the inkstone and look at it.
This inkstone is compared with paperweight, but it is delicate and not valuable. The inkstone cover is a group of frogs, lifted open, revealing the lotus leaf inside, if the ink is grinded, the ink is like a dew drop rolling on the lotus leaf.
Su Heming looked left and right, and finally commented: "Forgive the contemptible eyes, it seems to be a high-grade jade, the quality is good, and it is very good for writing and drawing." β
In other words, it's an inkstone that looks exquisite, but is actually ordinary.
Lingyu was silent for a moment and thanked him: "There is Master Laosu, in this case, let's settle the account." β
After deducting the appraisal fee, after selling the pill and the longevity water, the income was 5,200 spirit stones. After that, Lingyu asked about the price of the elixir, and it happened that this Wushuang had the business of alchemy on behalf of customers, so he entrusted them with full authority to refine it. In the current war, the elixir was extremely expensive, and the final agreed price was two thousand three hundred spirit stones. In addition, she bought some high-grade rune paper and rune ink by the way, and went to more than 1,000 spirit stones, and only 1,600 spirit stones were left in her pocket.
Lingyu touched the purse, only feeling a little plump. Well, those precious elixirs don't dare to sell, so let's throw them to Master Master to deal with, I believe she won't suffer. (To be continued.) )
