Chapter 145: Windfall
Gu Yue noticed Yuan Ming's movements, also looked over, and said, "Brother Yuan wants to buy a magic weapon? This ritual shop is indeed quite famous in the East Market."
"Oh, how famous?" Yuan Ming asked.
"The quality of the magic weapons in this house is quite good, although they are all low-grade magic weapons, many low-level monks come here. If you want a medium-grade or higher magic weapon, you won't be able to satisfy it here." Gu Yue said.
"There is a refiner in this magic weapon shop, this person is quite eccentric, the magic equipment he refines is excellent, and he even accepts reservations from customers, but this person has a rule, that is, he only refines low-grade magic weapons." Seeing that Yuan Ming showed a rather incomprehensible expression, Gu Yue continued to explain.
"Oh, there is such a refiner." Yuan Ming was still a little puzzled.
With his understanding of refining weapons, the soul power and mana of the foundation building period monks were enough to infuse the runes of medium-grade magic weapons, and this person didn't even try to refine medium-grade magic weapons.
You must know that the price of low-grade magic weapons is mostly around forty to sixty spirit stones, while medium-grade magic weapons can be as high as five or six hundred spirit stones, which has almost increased tenfold, even if the quality of the refined medium-grade magic weapons is poor, it is not a problem to sell three or four hundred spirit stones, this person doesn't want to make money?
"Hehe, I heard that this refiner is extremely obsessed with rune inscriptions, and he studies them all day long, delaying the mastery of other steps of refining, so he simply only refines lower-grade magic weapons." Gu Yue said.
Yuan Ming nodded slowly, refining is a delicate job, and the slightest mistake in any of the four steps may lead to the failure of refining, and the difficulty of refining a medium-grade magic weapon is indeed not comparable to a low-grade magic weapon.
"And how are runes bought and sold?" He asked.
Yuan Ming obtained the inscription method of more than forty runes from Master Heimu's codex, but unfortunately due to his cultivation, he could not infuse the spirits, and those runes were useless for the time being.
Since this magic artifact shop buys runes, if the price given is not low, he doesn't mind selling them. Let the store copy the runes, and you can also fill the storage bag yourself.
If he wants to participate in the White Deer Hill Alliance in half a year, not only must he prepare magic weapons, but also pills are necessary, each of these requires spirit stones, and after coming here to open his eyes, he realized that the price of immortal cultivation is really not capped.
"I'm not familiar with this, I only know that runes are the lifeblood of refiners and rune masters, and most of the rare Xiwen don't want to come out. A few months ago, I heard that someone used a belt to play—a hundred spirit stones." Gu Yue thought for a while and said.
"One hundred spirit stones!" Yuan Ming was secretly happy in his heart.
He knew that the value of the runes was not low, but he didn't expect it to be worth so many spirit stones, and he had accumulated it night and day for so long, and it was only seventy spirit stones.
And there are forty-five runes recorded on the Blackwood Codex!
Yuan Ming immediately asked Gu Yue to wait outside, and entered the magic weapon shop alone.
There were no customers in the shop, just a bald man sitting behind the counter, holding a thick book and reading with relish, and smirking from time to time.
This big man was born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, his face was full of meat, and he said that he was a bandit who blocked the road and robbed, and basically no one would doubt that such a fierce person was holding a book and reading hard, which was indescribably weird.
Yuan Ming's expression was a little weird, this person couldn't be that refiner, right? A weirdo indeed.
"This guest officer needs magic weapons, and our store only sells low-grade magic weapons, please forgive me." Seeing that a guest had arrived at the door, the bald man hurriedly put down the book in his hand and got up to greet him.
Yuan Ming didn't mention the sale of runes, and paced to a shelf next to him.
The shelves are full of knives, swords, whips, guns and other common types of magic weapons, the shape is quite rough and wide in the front and narrow in the back, slanted at the top and down, and looks as if it was made by a blacksmith with poor craftsmanship.
However, there is a cold light flowing on these ugly magic weapons, which people dare not underestimate.
"Can I cast a spell and try it?" Yuan Ming picked up a fiery red long sword and asked.
"Absolutely." The bald man said generously.
Yuan Ming used mana and injected it into it, and the crimson long sword was released
With a crisp sword roar, a long red sword shot forward, expanding and contracting.
He cast an exorcism, and the red sword flew off his palm, slowly circling around him faster and faster.
"Go!"
He pointed out that the red sword stabbed into a large blue stone in the corner of the shop, which was covered with holes and slash marks, apparently to test weapons for the guests.
With a soft sound, the red sword easily pierced into the boulder, reaching the handle.
Yuan Ming pulled out his long sword, the blade was as smooth as ever, and there was not a trace of scratches.
"Good sword!" He snorted.
These weapons are ugly, but both the material and the runes engraved inside are good, no wonder Gu Yue said that the lower grade magic weapons in this store are all high-quality.
Since the last time he saved Hagong's wife and daughter, Yuan Ming has set a rule for himself in his heart to cultivate immortals: if you don't have strength, you can't be strong.
Now there is another one more rule for cultivating immortals: the magic weapon cannot be chosen by appearance.
"Daoist friends have a good eye, this fire cone sword is the proud work of the family master last month, it is mixed with a piece of fire copper essence, and the inscription rune is 'Armor Piercing, the attack power is powerful, only sixty spirit stones." The bald man introduced.
"That's just five spirit stones for you." Seeing that Yuan Ming didn't speak, the bald man thought he was too expensive, and added.
The fire copper essence is a medium-grade spiritual material, and a piece as big as an egg costs fifty spirit stones, plus other materials, wouldn't it be a loss?
Yuan Ming didn't expose the big man's lie, put the long sword back on the shelf, and said, "I'll talk about buying the sword later, I saw it outside, your store buys runes?"
"Yes, you have?" The bald man was stunned for a moment and said.
"Naturally, I wonder what type of runes you need? How's the price?" Yuan Ming said quietly.
"As long as it's a rune that is not available in our store, I want it, and as for the price, I won't disappoint the guest officer." The bald man said with a smile.
When Yuan Ming heard this, he smiled slightly.
There were forty-five runes in Kuroki's Codex, and he knew that most of them should be relatively common, but since Kuroki was known as a genius refining master, there must be a few rare runes in his lifelong collection, and this shop couldn't have them all.
"It seems that the guest officer has some confidence, please." The bald man laughed, but he didn't think so.
He has been collecting runes for many years, and he already has common runes, and even rare ones are quite a few, and most of the people who want to make a fortune from them end up in disgrace.
Yuan Ming took out a pen and paper and wrote the names of the four runes.
Runes have been handed down from ancient times to the present, and each has a corresponding name, which is the foundation for refiners, but the runes themselves, especially the trend of starting, turning, and closing, are the key.
The bald man glanced at it, shook his head, and said, "It's all there."
Yuan Ming picked up the pen and wrote four more, but the bald man still shook his head.
Yuan Ming's original eagerness was half cold, and he no longer confided in a little bit, and simply wrote out all the remaining runes.
The bald man showed surprise on his face, the people who used to come to sell runes took out at most seven or eight runes, but Yuan Ming actually took out dozens of runes at once, this person must be an unscrupulous disciple of the refining family, who stole the family's rune cheats and sold them for money.
"Why, you've all collected all these runes?" Yuan Ming saw the bald man's strange expression, and asked with a sinking heart.
"Not really, wait, officer." The bald man said, staring intently at the names of the runes on the paper.
His eyes lit up quickly, and he said, "Listen to the wind, the phantom two rune shops don't have them, you can accept them."
Yuan Ming breathed a sigh of relief, although he was quite disappointed that he only sold two runes, but these forty-five runes were all occasional, and even if only one was sold, it was profitable.
"The price of the runes is determined by the family teacher, wait a minute, I'll ask the old man to come out." The bald man said and walked quickly into the magic shop.
A moment later, the curtain inside was lifted, and a short, thin old man walked in quickly, but it was the appearance of a Central Plainsman.
"You've listened to the wind, Phantom
Runes of Shadow?" The thin old man asked eagerly.
"Yes." Yuan Ming replied calmly.
"Okay, great! When I was young, I had seen a magic weapon with a wind listening rune, the effect was magical and abnormal, and the phantom rune was also something that the old man had been looking for for many years, but I didn't expect to find it at the same time today!"
The thin old man's pale cheeks were bloody, and he looked very excited.
"I took these two runes, two hundred spirit stones each, what do you think?" The thin old man quickly came back to his senses and said.
Yuan Ming was a little stunned when he heard this.
Not long ago, Gu Yue mentioned that a rune sold for a hundred spirit stones, and he was still in a reverie, but now that he has arrived, two runes can be sold for a full four hundred spirit stones?
But the old man looks very fond of these two runes, and it doesn't seem to be fake.
"Do you think it's too little? These two runes are indeed rare and rare, and Daoist friends must have made a lot of determination if they are willing to take them out, so let's do it, the two runes have a total of five hundred spirit stones." Seeing that Yuan Ming didn't say a word, the thin old man said again.
Yuan Ming came back to his senses and just wanted to say something, but he heard the old man grit his teeth and said impatiently:
"Six hundred spirit stones, no more!"
"Not enough!" Yuan Ming blurted out.
When the previous runes were vetoed by the bald man one by one, let alone three hundred and one, even if he could give one hundred spirit stones, he might be willing to make a move.
But seeing the look of this thin old man, he basically wrote four big words on his face, "I must!" Finish.
If the price is not raised at this time, when will it stay?
"Add one more condition, help me build a magic weapon for free in the future!" Yuan Ming said tentatively.
"Deal! I'm still stunned to do something, don't hurry up yet!" The thin old man glared at the bald man.
The bald man heard the price with his mouth half open, and only reacted when he heard the reprimand, and took out six walnut-sized spirit stones from the storage bag on his waist, three yellow and three green, and the spiritual power fluctuations emitted were much stronger than ordinary spirit stones, and there were two black jade plates that were slightly larger than palms.
"Medium-grade spirit stones!" Yuan Ming was overjoyed in his heart, but his face was as calm as water, and he didn't show any abnormality.
Like spiritual materials, spiritual stones are also divided into grades, and the spiritual stones circulating in the market on weekdays are all low-grade, and these six are medium-grade.
The spiritual power contained in the medium-grade spirit stone is ten times that of the lower-grade spirit stone, and it is also more refined and more versatile.
The spiritual power contained in the medium-grade spirit stone is both pure and thick, which is already beyond the scope of the Qi Refining Period, and if the Qi Refining Period cultivator absorbs the spiritual power in it when breaking through the bottleneck, it can even increase the chance of breaking through the realm.
With all these benefits, the value of medium-grade spirit stones far exceeds that of low-grade spirit stones, and only a hundred lower-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for a medium-grade spirit stone, and they are often priceless.
Yuan Ming had long wanted to get one or two medium-grade wood attribute spirit stones to save his life at a critical moment, but unfortunately he was shy in his pocket, and he didn't expect to get six at once today.
There are also high-grade spirit stones above the middle grade, and the exchange ratio is also one hundred to one.
On top of the top-grade spirit stone, it is said that there is a top-grade grade, but almost no one has seen it with their own eyes, and many people think that the top-grade spirit stone is just a legend.
