It's been the second day since I arrived at the Spirit Island.

It is clear that there are many more people on the island today than there were yesterday. Because of the need for Yan Xiu to replenish their spiritual energy, they rested on the outskirts of the island at night, and when they were about to enter the central area of the island today, several main passages were already overcrowded.

Yan Xiu had to stop frequently when he was flying, just like the traffic jam Wu Xiaoqing saw in the city. But here is the blocking sword.

But fortunately, when blocking the sword, Wu Xiaoqing noticed that the atmosphere at today's "bazaar" was obviously more lively than yesterday. Because of the huge flow of people, many merchants finally stopped meditating, and many people began to hang signs in front of their stalls, indicating the price of what they were selling, and the price of what they had been preferentially purchased.

Translate these texts, and the presentations of these stalls are all in this style:

"The flying sword is exchanged for a spirit stone, and the master is not recognized."

"Recharge the aura, come with an empty stone, and charge it with one stone."

"The flying sword is on sale, the flying sword is on sale, the quantity is large and the quality is high, the owner is dead, use it carefully, go back and process it yourself, if there is an accident, you will not be responsible."

"Flying swords, magic weapons are changed to masters, spirit stones are repurchased, high-quality magic weapons are not mastered, the price of 20 spirit stones starts, do not disturb without stones."

"Zhang Zhenren's magic weapon acquisition, a three-hundred-year-old brand on the Spirit Island."

————————

Because there were a lot more stalls along the way today, Wu Xiaoqing had to put down his speed, walk slowly, and when he passed by some stalls, he had to go up with Yan Xiu to ask the price according to the requirements of the search and rescue team.

Although the commodity economy in this world is quite underdeveloped, the commodity information is still very transparent, and basically several common commodities have default market prices - it turns out that the search and rescue team is also ready to use his ability to analyze information, and earn a sum of spirit stones and magic weapons here empty-handed to bring back, but after a few hours of shopping, the search and rescue team was surprised to find that there was no arbitrage space in his imagination.

The reason is actually very simple, because the market here seems to be full of people, but in fact, there are very few transactions - according to Yan Xiu, many stores do transactions based on decades, or even hundreds of years.

The Chinese have a saying to describe those who sell antiques, do collecting, or engage in other luxury goods, do not open for three years, and open for three years.

The rationale is easy to understand – the more expensive the luxury, the lower the frequency of transactions, and the lower the frequency, the higher the time cost of the transaction – and naturally the greater the profit margin. In the market economy of the island, this principle is well embodied.

In the spirit island, it is not that it will not be opened for three years, but often for 30 years or 300 years, and many people will wait for hundreds or thousands of years to open.

Anyway, the most valuable thing for these flyers is time, and their time cost is very low. Find a few stalls on the side of the road, and the century-old shops are the minimum foundation. It is precisely because these people have been doing business here for a long time that the price mechanism of the entire market is very sound - the most important thing is that with the fact that there are really few categories of goods, there are only these few things, spirit stones, flying swords, and magic weapons.

Among them, the spirit stones are easy to set standards, and the functions of the flying sword are not very different, and the price fluctuates between seven or eight spirit stones. Only the magic weapon is the thing with the biggest disparity, as small as the heating cup and electric shock device that Wu Xiaoqing saw yesterday, and now the famous Qianyang finger - yes, it is the same laser emitter as the big killer in the hands of the Samadhi real person, and it is even sold here.

But the price is absolutely unbearable for Wu Xiaoqing, as high as thousands of spirit stones - even if it is the Nine Great Sects, taking out such a large amount of money, it must be carefully pondered.

Moreover, the most important thing is that even if you have saved up enough thousands of spirit stones and bought this Qianyang Finger back, it is impossible for ordinary people to achieve the level of Samadhi - first, this laser emitter consumes extremely high energy, and if there is no antimatter battery as a drive, the laser power emitted is very weak, and it will have to stop at people and weapons for a few seconds, or even more than ten seconds, before it can have the effect of destroying - the other party has already run away in actual combat.

Second, the recognition of the master of the magic weapon is not the same as the recognition of the master of the flying sword. According to Yan Xiu, the flying sword can be used by everyone, and as long as the flying sword of the master is processed by the nine major factions, the use mark of the original owner can be canceled and handed over to a new person to use. But even after the abolition of the ritual weapon, there are still innate requirements for the user itself.

The original purpose of the Spiritual Examination Conference was actually to test the degree of compatibility of all people with the Dharma Instruments. Based on the experience of the nine major schools, the magic weapons are divided into five categories according to their attributes, which are respectively called gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the focus of the spiritual examination conference is whether the user has these five spiritual roots. Only those who match the spiritual root can use the corresponding magic weapon.

But the name is to say the division of the five elements, but in practice, no one knows which magic weapons are included in these five elements, and the rules of this spiritual root are generally vague.

For example, the Qianyang Finger, everyone recognizes that it is fire-based, but the spiritual root of the gold system can also be used.

Another example is the Nine Heavens Illusion Mirror, which seems to be metallic, but the Qingyun Dao people are wood attributes - it wasn't until his master took over this magic weapon from the previous head that he knew that wood attributes could also be used.

Generally speaking, this Linggen statement belongs to the latest academic field of this era - it is not particularly rigorous in itself, but is only forcibly used to explain some problems.

This is similar to the frontiers of the earth's major disciplines......

Of course, one thing is certain.

That is, at the spirit examination conference, it is impossible for a person who determines that he does not possess the attribute of the spiritual root to use the magic weapon. According to Yan Xiu, the 7th and 12th lives after his rebirth were completely devoid of spiritual roots, so those two lives were the shortest two times he lived - many immortal cultivators committed suicide on the spot and then reincarnated because they found out that they had no spiritual roots.

It is precisely because of this that the position of the Soul Verification Conference in this world is extraordinary.

To a certain extent, for immortal cultivators, this conference is like a physical examination - you are not really alive after being reborn, only by coming to the spiritual examination conference to test and see if you have a spiritual root, whether you have a good spiritual root - this can truly determine whether your life is worth living. Otherwise, even if you have practiced for hundreds of years, you will only use a flying sword.

From the perspective of the values of this world, immortals without magic weapons are like caterpillars that have not yet grown wings, and belong to a semi-growth state.

Although there are many troubles and difficulties, however, the money still has to be spent, and there are still about two days to go from the Spirit Island to the space station, and they only have one spirit stone left - only enough for a battle. Therefore, you must sell some of the valuable things on your body and exchange them for spirit stones.

"This Daoist brother, I don't know what you mean by the recharge of aura written on this signboard?" Even for Yan Xiu, the concept was completely new, and he had never heard of the term before.

"It's the empty spirit stone, flushed to the full, provincial brother an empty stone's money...... The spirit stones of the first and present voids have also begun to be in demand, and the store has also bought back all kinds of ethereal spirit stones, and every fifteen can be exchanged for a brand new one. ”

"And how much does it cost to fill this empty one?"

"2 spirit stones will fill you with three."

Yan Xiu was very curious: "Then aren't you losing one?" If you can fill three, you can sell three spirit stones, how can you only accept two spirit stones? ”

"Here I said, now the spirit stone is in short supply, now there are many people and few stones, and many people who have empty cultivation, after being reborn, they can't sell their whole body for a price of cultivation. We contacted these people and provided them with empty stones to recharge - many of them did not even have flying swords, and were in a hurry to earn some spirit stones to buy flying swords. ”

Yan Xiu looked back at Wu Xiaoqing, and when he saw him nodding, he said to the shopkeeper again: "In this case, then I will charge three, but I only have one spirit stone here, can it be so, I also have a Qiankun furnace here, which is worth using as a spirit stone, I don't know ......"

"Qiankun furnace? Show me. ”

Yan Xiu took out his cup and handed it to the shopkeeper, who only glanced at it and smiled: "It's a pity that you don't come to do business, Qiankun Furnace?" I thought it was some kind of profound magic weapon, but the name was arrogant...... At most, half a spirit stone, this thing is everywhere, it is not very useful, but it is just some idlers, and it is just used to exercise the pill. ”

Wu Xiaoqing frowned, this cup seemed to be the only thing they could take out and trade at the moment - the electromagnet would have to be used for Wu Xiaoqing's life later, and it was impossible to take it out and trade.

He searched carefully in his bag, and took out a few power banks he had brought with him—there were still unused electricity in them. In Wu Xiaoqing's mind, since this world relies on electricity to sell money, this may be worth a little.

But the search and rescue team told him that the battery, which did not have wireless charging function, could not be recognized. What's more, the capacity of Wu Xiaoqing's power bank is really ......

"You can sell this dark iron shield for a good price," said the shopkeeper, "If you are interested, this shop can sell 8 spirit stones." ”

Yan Xiu shook his head: "I still have a Xuantie Shield." ”

"Those who participate in the spiritual examination conference," the shopkeeper nodded, "It can't be sold, but this shield should not have been recognized, if you need to recognize the owner again, the store will only accept one spirit stone." ”

"I haven't realized the spirit yet, so how can I talk about confessing the Lord," Yan Xiu said in a panic, "I just wait for the spirit to be tested before making plans." ”

"And what about this top-up?"

"It's just that this half of the spirit stone is missing, the shop, otherwise, the Qiankun furnace and this spirit stone are counted as one and a half, and you only need to rush two and a half spirit stones, so good?"

The shopkeeper shook his head: "This is my loss, 2 rush 3, this rule can't be changed." ”

Yan Xiu and Wu Xiaoqing looked at each other, and the search and rescue team said, "You here, fifteen ethereal spirit stones can be worth a brand new spirit stone?" ”

"Exactly."

"Then you wait a minute, I'll go back and find it."

Their "car", well, is a flying machine, and it is still parked on the side of the "highway", and the empty batteries that Wu Xiaoqing brought out from the Nine Heavens Gate are ready to be taken back to the space station to charge, and there are probably more than a dozen, according to the calculation method, at most 8, and it can also be counted as half - this is enough for two spirit stones.

"Hmm...... 8 is half a lot, but it's okay," the shopkeeper was picky in a pile of empty batteries, picking and choosing, suddenly, he keenly caught a familiar pattern, and then shouted in surprise, "Turning into a virtual stone!" ”
