Chapter 5: Superior Ritual Instruments
The price fluctuations of these five magic artifacts were all within Li Qing's expectations.
However, with Li Qing's current financial resources, he can only choose one of them, and he must also give due consideration to the balance issue.
It is impossible for him to completely hollow himself out for a magic weapon, and it is still necessary to leave a certain amount of spirit stones to resist the risk.
Therefore, it is necessary to choose a magic weapon that is the most cost-effective and can meet your needs.
Li Qing squatted on a corner of the street and used the branches he picked up to write and draw on the ground, further screening out the most suitable targets.
"Although the paper kite is a flying magic weapon, it is just a unique product combined with the talisman technique, although it can fly only by infusing mana, but in the final analysis, it is still a talisman, and it does not fly high due to the material, and it flies slowly.
As a flying magic weapon, it is really a bit of a frustration, but the price of six hundred and thirty lower-grade spirit stones is very low, and it is not bad for low-level casual cultivation. ”
Li Qing drew out the advantages and disadvantages of the paper kite on the ground, and finally considered that he bought high-grade magic weapons mainly to save his life at a critical moment, and the speed was too slow.
Therefore, Li Qing thought about it for a while or gave up the option of paper kites, and instead set his sights on several other magic weapons.
"The Cloud Piercing Boat is the fastest flying of the five magic weapons, not only can it rely on mana infusion to drive, but it can also directly use spirit stones to provide energy, and the means of saving life are first-class.
However, this price is a bit outrageous. ”
Although Li Qing is very greedy for the cloud boat, he not only flies high, but also flies fast. At critical moments, spirit stones can also be used as energy sources.
However, although the cloud boat is good, the high price makes Li Qing die directly.
So Li Qing drew a cross for the Cloud Piercing Boat again, and once again shifted his gaze to the other three high-grade magic weapon-level flying swords.
"The price of the Chiyang Sword is right, but it doesn't match the exercises you are learning, so forget it.
The Liuyun Sword and the Xuanyin Sword do not conflict with the exercises they are practicing, and the quality is also good.
Although the price is slightly higher than expected, it is still acceptable. ”
After some screening, Li Qing weighed the pros and cons and finally decided to choose from the two high-grade magic weapons, the Liuyun Sword and the Xuanyin Sword.
Both magic weapons are fine, as for which one to buy, it depends on how Li Qing can talk about the price.
Without much hesitation, Li Qing stood up and walked to the shop where the two magic artifacts were located.
However, the two magic artifacts belong to different shops, and Li Qing must have a precedence.
Since the Xuanyin Sword was more compatible with Li Qing's practice, Li Qing went to the shop where the Xuanyin Sword was located first.
However, after some bargaining, the shopkeeper bit 1,300 lower-grade spirit stones to death and refused to lower them further, and he was only willing to pay a reserve price of 400 lower-grade spirit stones for the medium-grade magic weapon-level long sword that Li Qing was ready to bargain.
Such a result Li Qing naturally could not accept, and continued to negotiate with the shopkeeper, but after several negotiations, it was still fruitless.
Even if Li Qing finally threw out his bottom line, the shopkeeper was still unmoved, and he had no choice but to give up in the end.
Out of the store, Li Qing took a deep breath to eliminate the boredom of the fierce exchange just now, and then turned to the store where Liuyun Sword was.
He didn't want to be too obvious and be seen by the shopkeeper, which would be extremely detrimental to his bargaining.
Even Li Qing felt that the reason why the shopkeeper had a tough attitude just now was probably because he showed too much to the Xuanyin Sword, which gave the shopkeeper the confidence to take it over.
So after coming to the store where Liuyun Sword was located, Li Qing did not go straight to the topic to explain his purpose, but pretended to walk around the store, waiting for the shopkeeper to ask.
"This fellow Taoist doesn't know what he wants to buy, I have something to introduce to the guest."
A shopkeeper who looked to be in his thirties saw Li Qing's hesitation, so he took the initiative to ask.
"I'm going to buy a magic tool."
Li Qing frowned and groaned, his eyes constantly wandering over the magic weapons behind those protective formations, as if he was hesitating to choose which magic weapon.
"I don't know what kind of magic tools you plan to buy, there are all the format magic tools in the small store, I can recommend them to the guests."
The shopkeeper also smiled when he heard this.
"I'm looking for a flying magic weapon or a high-grade magic weapon-level flying sword."
Li Qing did not hide this problem and directly informed the shopkeeper. However, he did not inform the other party of his favorite target, so as not to be taken care of again.
"I see, there are just a few magic instruments in the store that meet the requirements of Taoist friends............
The shopkeeper was also a skilled person, and when he heard Li Qing's request, he immediately reported the names of several magic weapons. Among them is the Liuyun Sword that Li Qing likes.
However, Li Qing's face was still as usual, and he just asked the shopkeeper to take a look at them one by one.
The shopkeeper also did as he said, but he would only take out one magic weapon each time, and after Li Qing looked at it, he would immediately open the formation prohibition and put it back in its original place, and then take out another magic weapon.
After looking at a few magic weapons one by one, Li Qing felt that the Liuyun Sword was suitable for him.
According to the shopkeeper's introduction, the whole body of the Liuyun Sword is forged with iron precision, and the sword body is covered with platinum mica.
Not to mention sharpening iron like clay, the sword body is full of toughness because of the addition of platinum mica. What makes Li Qing even more excited is that because of the characteristics of platinum mica when it encounters hydrated clouds, as long as the surrounding water vapor is sufficient, platinum mica can generate white clouds.
Moreover, after being forged into a magic weapon in a special way, it can also collect and release the white clouds freely.
In other words, Li Qing can make the Liuyun Sword generate a cloud of the size of a zhang when needed, and he can also make it disappear at any time.
Thinking of the Black Water True Method he cultivated, Li Qing felt that this Liuyun Sword was a perfect match for him, and he couldn't wait to tell the shopkeeper on the spot that he was going to set the Liuyun Sword.
However, Li Qing finally asked about a few other magic weapons that cost more than the Liuyun Sword according to his joy, and after learning the price, he deliberately showed a look of embarrassment.
In the end, Shi Shiran led the topic to the Liuyun Sword and asked about the price of the Liuyun Sword.
"Thirteen hundred lower-grade spirit stones."
The shopkeeper also seemed to see Li Qing's "embarrassment" and quoted a decent price.
Li Qing naturally showed an embarrassed expression and bargained with the shopkeeper, anyway, to keep the price as low as possible.
In the end, he was about to dry his saliva, and Li Qing talked about the price of one thousand and fifty lower-grade spirit stones.
This is already a very low price, Li Qing naturally will not get an inch, and he can barely pay this price.
Then Li Qing took out his medium-grade magic weapon again, indicating that he wanted to discount the price.
The shopkeeper apparently experienced this from time to time, so it was no surprise.
Moreover, his shop already had a business of recycling magic weapons, so he accepted it at the price of four hundred and twenty low-grade spirit stones.
Although Li Qing was a little hesitant about this, he finally agreed.
After handing over the medium-grade magic weapon to the shopkeeper and making up another 600 lower-grade spirit stones, Li Qing got his wish and won the Liuyun Sword.
One thousand and fifty low-grade spirit stones are already considered a very favorable price among all high-grade magic weapons.
Although the Liuyun Sword Prohibition is only sevenfold, the pertinence of Youhuayun is very strong, and the functions that Li Qing himself uses are not a loss, and he even makes a little profit.
The more forbidden the weapon is, the higher the quality, one to three for the lower grade, the fourth to six for the middle grade, and the seventh to nine for the upper grade. Ten times is the best.
The sevenfold prohibition was just at the level of a top-grade magic weapon, but it was enough for Li Qing.
After getting the Liuyun Sword, Li Qing immediately found an inn and practiced the Liuyun Sword in the guest room.
The top priority is to master the core of the Liuyun Sword prohibition and all the prohibitions, only in this way can it be regarded as controlling the Liuyun Sword and being able to use the Liuyun Sword as you like.
Of course, to fully grasp the core of the prohibition, refining all the prohibitions is not an easy task.
With Li Qing's current cultivation and sacrificial refining techniques, it would take at least one or two months to completely refine the Liuyun Sword.
However, it was impossible for Li Qing to stay in Fang City for such a long time, and the spirit stones spent on the guest house alone were not a small amount.
Now that his whole body only adds up to more than a hundred low-grade spirit stones, how could Li Qing be willing to spend more money on this.
Therefore, according to Li Qing's plan, he only needs to master the prohibition core now, and the refining part of the prohibition can exert part of the power of the Liuyun Sword, and he can fly with the sword.
For the other prohibitions, it is not too late to wait until you return to Xiaonan Mountain and then slowly refine them.
With his decision, Li Qing devoted himself wholeheartedly to refining the Liuyun Sword in the next few days, but even so, it took him nearly three days to master the core of the Liuyun Sword prohibition and refine one of the prohibitions.
"Not bad."
Li Qing tried it in the room, and felt quite handy and checked out and left the inn.
When Li Qing came to the streets of Fangshi to inquire, he learned that the big rally had officially started for a day or two, and an auction had been organized.
It is precisely because of this reason that there are more monks coming and going in the city, and it is not lively to come and go.
In addition to most of the scattered cultivators, Li Qing also saw several waves of people in uniform passing by, obviously disciples of certain sects and families.
"It's dangerous!"
Li Qing watched a long-faced monk walk out of the auction gate and walk away, and said with palpitations.
He just glanced in the direction of the auction a few more times, wondering if he could also go in and see the world. As a result, he happened to make eye contact with the long-faced monk, and immediately felt a strong aura coming towards him.
Frightened, Li Qing hurriedly looked away, that aura did not look like a Qi cultivation cultivator, it was very likely to be a foundation building period cultivator.
Most of the other party misunderstood that he was peeping at him, but he was obviously just watching the auction door.
Li Qing was extremely depressed in his heart, but he paid more and more attention to his behavior.
lest you accidentally provoke someone who is not easy to mess with.
Although Li Qing wanted to enter the auction to see it, it had just ended. The next one is tomorrow.
So Li Qing went around the market again, and found that many stores had a lot of new things, but the prices had increased to a certain extent, and the prices of some specific things had risen even more.
This made Li Qing glad that his judgment was accurate, and the price of basic things might be reduced due to the increase in the number of monks attending the assembly, but the price of things like magic weapons would increase due to the increase in the number of people who bought them.
Li Qing estimated that if he went to buy the Liuyun Sword now, he would have to pay at least a hundred more spirit stones.
This is still an ordinary situation, not to mention the best magic artifacts that appear at auction, and it is normal for them to be auctioned two or three percent higher than the usual price.
However, this is a matter of being willing to fight and suffer, and the things that can be auctioned are definitely not ordinary items, and there are many rare things, and even related to the cultivation of some monks and the improvement of their realm, it is normal to auction at a high price.
