Chapter 16: Buying Spiritual Materials
"Young man, I was optimistic about you, but I didn't expect you to win so quickly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
When Zhao Zhong walked back to the players' area, an arena steward greeted him with a smile, still holding a set of clean clothes in his hand. The steward looked to be close to sixty years of age, but he was a kind old man with strong feet and good feet.
"Where do you dare to be. Zhao Zhong smiled respectfully at the steward, there are no mortals in the school city, even if this old man has been lazy since he was a child, his current strength is not comparable to Zhao Zhong, "It's all like this." β
Zhao Zhong took the clothes and bowed slightly to the steward's thanks. Although in this materially abundant world, clothes are very ordinary, but this intention cannot be ignored.
The first battle was victorious, but Zhao Zhong did not have any joy in his heart, after all, it all depended on his puppet. If it was purely for him to fight with that young man, I am afraid that he would only have the right to escape, and I am afraid that he would not be able to release even a spell before he was defeated.
"It's not miserable. The steward smiled indifferently, "On the battlefield, it only matters whether you win or lose, and everything else is superfluous." You have to work hard, don't waste your talent, don't be like the old man who has no hope of advancing to build a foundation in his life, let alone really go deep into the sea of death. β
The steward sighed with emotion, as if he had infinite emotion. "Now that the old man has won weakly, he is not in the mood anymore, so he has to mix up a dead salary here in peace. β
"Where do I have any talent?" Zhao Zhong snorted self-deprecatingly, "It's not all about this puppet. β
"Hey, I think you're pretty tight. You can command such a complex engineering puppet so handy, and if you have a good spiritual weapon, I am afraid that no one will be able to defeat it in this aspect alone. The steward smiled and said confidently as he twisted his gray beard.
"Really?!" Zhao Zhong couldn't believe it, but his heart was happy. After all, anyone wants to listen to nice words, no matter how much moisture is inside.
"Of course. The old man doesn't have much strength, but his vision is not low. The steward raised his head proudly, but he quickly lowered his head, bowed his head and whispered in Zhao Zhong's ear, "I bet with the other stewards that your ranking will definitely not be low in the future, but you have pressed a lot of spirit stones." β
"Ahem...... I didn't expect such a sudden come, Zhao Zhong directly choked a few breaths, "I will definitely work hard, but it's hard to say whether I can have a good ranking, you are afraid that I also know that my qualifications are not optimistic." β
"It doesn't matter. The steward said indifferently, "Are you going back and not trying again?"
"Hmm. Zhao Zhong nodded, "I'm just here to test the water today, I still have a lot of things to deal with, and I'm not in a hurry here." β
"It's fine. The steward said very seriously, at this moment he became a serious arena steward again, and it seemed that the matter of gambling on spirit stones had never happened. "You're right now over 5,000 and you have to win four out of five games to keep your current position. And according to the rules of the arena, you must come to participate in at least one duel every month, otherwise the ranking will drop directly by one level. β
After a while, Zhao Zhong walked out of the arena, compared to the lively arena, Zhao Zhong was still an inconspicuous early stage Qi refining cultivator.
"No one can beat you?" Zhao Zhong remembered the words of the steward as he walked, but he smiled and put this somewhat absurd statement behind him.
When Zhao Zhong first entered the arena, he was told that a certain adult said that he could directly challenge the five thousand ranks, and Zhao Zhong agreed directly without hesitation. Although it takes four wins in five battles, it shouldn't be difficult to refer to the battle just now, but the appearance of winning will not be too elegant.
Although the rank of 5,000 sounds like a lot, it is completely useless when put in the school city. The arena can only be attended by Qi refining period monks, but there are more than 100,000 monks in the East Lin School City, among which the Qi refining monks account for more than ninety percent, close to 100,000 people, and ninety percent of them will come to the arena to fight.
Even if Zhao Zhong successfully crossed the rank of five thousand, he still did not climb out of the huge pedestal of the initial strength of qi refining, and even in this pedestal, he was completely downstream. However, this is only the beginning, and who can say what the future holds.
Out of the arena, Zhao Zhong did not go straight back to his residence, but went all the way west along the street, and heard that there were several very powerful shops there, and their reputation was also very good. Several shops looked very atmospheric, and there were a lot of customers inside, so Zhao Zhong looked outside and walked into one of them casually.
"May I ask if there is any blood silk, Keshan gold, and Rishi alkali here......"
Zhao Zhong asked a fellow man, this shop employs seven monks, and it seems that the wealth is indeed not low. And the things that Zhao Zhong asked were all some spiritual materials, other materials that refined that piece of black skin into spiritual weapons. Zhao Zhong can also collect these spiritual materials by himself, but it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and he may not be able to get them together in a short time.
"Naturally, there is. The guy smiled very professionally, "Little brother is going to smelt spiritual weapons, these things are naturally always prepared, and they will never be out of stock, and we also have a few materials with extremely high defensive power, little brother can also take a look." The guy seemed to be extremely skilled in the business, and he immediately guessed the purpose of these things, and by the way, he also promoted the other materials in his shop.
Zhao Zhong shook his head with a smile and rejected the guy's suggestion. A bunch of spirit materials needed for refining tools were quickly matched by the guys, and it cost Zhao Zhong ten spirit stones, which made people inevitably feel distressed, but fortunately, Zhao Zhong was still a bit of a family.
"I don't know if you can accept magic cores here, and what kind of price you can give. β
After checking that the things he bought were correct, Zhao Zhong did not leave, but asked the guy in a low voice.
"What did you say?" the guy blinked when he heard this, and glanced at Zhao Zhong up and down, "Do you really have it or is it purely to inquire about the price?"
"Really want to sell, if the price is right. Zhao Zhong said with certainty, after a day of thinking, Zhao Zhong still decided to sell the demon core, if he could really sell a lot of spirit stones.
"Then please come with me. Hearing this, the guy said to Zhao Zhong, as if he wanted to lure Zhao Zhong inside. "Don't worry, no one will make trouble in the school city, especially in this east school city. Seeing that Zhao Zhong was a little hesitant, the guy said to Zhao Zhong.
Zhao Zhong nodded, and followed this guy into a gorgeous room in the store, and soon a shrewd-looking middle-aged man also walked in, who seemed to be the person in charge of this shop.
"I didn't expect the little brother to kill a late-stage monster at a young age. The middle-aged man looked at Zhao Zhong with a smile on his face, and he couldn't tell whether there was admiration or doubt in his words, "Can you take it out for me to see." β
Zhao Zhong didn't speak, the tube stretched out an arm, and the demon core was grabbed by the tube in his hand, and he didn't mean to hand it over to the other side.
"Well, that's right, it's still fresh. The middle-aged man didn't reach for it, but just looked at it and concluded it. I saw the middle-aged man take out a small token and put it in front of Zhao Zhong, "It just so happens that there will be an auction outside the school city two days later, if you go there with the token, not only can the magic core be sold for a good price, but you can also see a lot of good things, and you will definitely not be disappointed." β
"Auction?" Zhao Zhong asked with some surprise, "Why are you outside the city?"
"Naturally, there are some good things outside the school city that are not available in the school city. The middle-aged man made an expression that all men understand, "You can sell it directly now, but the price will naturally not be as high as at the auction, I am also thinking about you, of course, for our possible further cooperation." β
"Let's go to the auction then. Zhao Zhong thought about it and decided.
Zhao Zhong then bought some spirit grass seeds, these things are not valuable things, plus the layer of relationship that has just been established, these things are directly given to Zhao Zhong for nothing.
When Zhao Zhong was about to go straight back to his residence with his things, he suddenly heard a pleasant voice like a silver bell, "What a coincidence." β
Zhao Zhong turned around and found that Yuezhi was walking towards him from the crowd, some of the abrasions on her body were also healed, her complexion was radiant, and there was a faint crimson on her cheeks, which was even more delicate against the backdrop of the crowd.
