013 Bazaar
The phantom bead is the essence bead in the body of the phantom beast.
After the phantom beast absorbs the aura of the sun and the moon, it has been tempered in the body to save the essence, and the aura of a jar may only have one bowl left, but the aura of this bowl is quite terrifying. However, the gas in the body occupies a relatively large space, and in the process of evolution, the phantom beast has also evolved a special ability, which is to compress these spiritual qi into crystals.
With each compression, the crystals grow larger to the size of an egg, and that's ...... Magic Orbs.
When the bead is formed, it will not accept another crystal, and at this time, the beast will polish the bead, remove the impure aura in the bead, and wait for the bead to become smaller, and then start to crystallize the aura from the outside world to melt into the bead.
After the phantom beads have been polished and filled many times, the richness of the aura will naturally become stronger and stronger, and at this time the color change will begin to appear, and the initial red color will be formed, followed by orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple.
It can be seen that the darker the color of the phantom bead, the purer and more violent its aura is. It was so violent that even if it was a red orb, an envoy-level person would not risk dying from exploding to absorb it.
Although the phantom bead cannot be directly absorbed, it is an indispensable nutrient for the priest to cultivate the original Xuan Ling Insect, through the priest's secret technique, use other spiritual objects to vent the violent qi, and then supply the Phantom Bead Spiritual Qi to the original Xuan Ling Insect, so that it will turn into a treasure coveted by countless people, making people crazy.
In addition, the Phantom Orb can be blessed on weapons and armor, and the power of such weapons will be even superior, and even natural special effects similar to priest spells will appear, and the defensive power of that kind of armor will also be incomparably stronger, so Phantom Orbs are highly sought after by cultivators in the Spirit Continent.
Driven by this trend, the phantom beads of the Spirit Continent have always been in short supply, and as long as the high-grade phantom beads appear at auctions or other places, they will be immediately bought at a high price.
This kind of market for phantom beads has naturally created a large number of mercenary groups that specialize in hunting phantom beasts for a living.
Although there are many mercenary groups, it has not changed the situation that the supply of phantom beads exceeds the demand.
First of all, the phantom beast has an amazing physique and thick skin, coupled with its ferocious attack method, it is naturally a few points stronger than humans of the same level, and they are also extremely cunning, if you want to hunt alone, unless you have extraordinary strength, it is simply to deliver food to the door.
Secondly, not every phantom beast has a phantom bead, and sometimes the body of a phantom beast hunted by losing more than half of the mercenaries maybe, there is nothing. To humans, this is simply a random number.
Therefore, the value of the magic bead has been the highest for a long time, and it is extremely sought-after, of course, it is limited to high-level magic beads, like the lowest-level red magic beads, which are available in the market.
There are six markets in Wengang City, which are controlled by two families, such as Ji Feng and Ji Yao'er, who are in the east at this time, are in charge of the Ji family.
The so-called control is actually to provide those mercenaries or merchants with a place to sell things, and then the Ji family's people maintain the order and safety of the entire market, protect the lives and goods of these sellers from infringement, and as a reward, those mercenaries or merchants have to pay a certain rent to the Ji family.
These are all the current default rules in the spiritual continent, and it is rare to see anyone making trouble.
Ji Feng entered from the gate of the market, and at the door, the two market guards of the Ji family immediately bowed slightly towards Ji Feng, and then immediately returned to the appearance of being as strong as a statue just now.
Ji Feng smiled and nodded at them, then stepped in, standing by the door, the entire bazaar was full of people, and couldn't help but make Ji Feng smash his mouth, no wonder the Ji family made great efforts to manage the bazaar, and the profits behind such popularity were probably quite considerable!
"Second Young Master and Miss Yao'er!"
A respectful voice suddenly sounded behind them, Ji Feng and Ji Yao'er turned their heads and saw eight guards wearing Ji family clothes standing behind them, talking about a forty-year-old man, tall and burly, as if he was half a black tower, with a big square face, full of stubble, wearing a red cloak, and the cloak was embroidered with a round of golden sun.
He is a late-stage spiritual priest.
"Are you ......" Ji Feng basically stayed in the Ji family, and rarely had the opportunity to come to the mixed market, so it was no wonder that he didn't know this person.
Listening to Ji Feng's puzzled tone, the man smiled honestly and said respectfully: "Second Young Master, my name is Luo Bao, I have been appreciated by the patriarch this year, and I have just been appointed as the captain of the guard. ”
"Oh, Uncle Luo, are you okay?"
Ji Feng has no impression of this person, but since his father personally recommended him, it must be his father's cronies, so Ji Feng respectfully calls him an uncle.
However, this "uncle" made the smile on Luo Bao's face even brighter, and at the same time, he felt a little more cordial, and said with a sincere smile: "Just now, Steward Ji sent someone to inform him, if you see the second young master, you must let the second young master go home quickly." ”
"Hmph, go home, go home and see the faces of those people? And in that family, who cares about my existence except my father? I won't go back!" Of course, Ji Feng will not tell them the direct purpose, although Luo Bao is his father's cronies, can he not guarantee that the others are not cronies of the Presbyterian Church?
Luo Bao was appointed to be the captain of the guard, relying not only on loyalty, but also on his understanding. Seeing that Ji Feng was displeased, he immediately said, "Actually, we didn't see the second young master!, right?"
"Hmm!"
Everyone else also turned around and left with interest and continued to inspect the bazaar, while Luo Bao said to Ji Feng with a smile: "Second young master, you can go shopping, the bazaar is full of our people, just say hello if you have something." ”
"What a shame!"
As he spoke, Ji Feng took Ji Yao'er's hand, got into the flow of people, and soon disappeared.
"What a good person, he doesn't have the frame of a young master at all, he is gentle and modest...... Luo Bao watched Ji Feng and the two disappear, with a smile on his face, and then said regretfully, "But...... Alas, God really plays tricks on people!"
"You, you and you, follow behind the young master, and by the way, warn the third hand in the bazaar, if you dare to put your hand in the young master's pocket, don't mess around here in the future!" Luo Bao's honest smile instantly became shrewd and capable, and he casually summoned the three of them to order.
In the crowd, Ji Yao'er grabbed Ji Feng, who was looking around, and then said, "Brother Feng, let's go back!"
"For what?"
"If something really happens in the family, and we are shopping, it is really inappropriate. In addition, Uncle Luo told this lie for us, if the elders of the family grabbed something and removed Uncle Luo's guard captain, wouldn't it make Uncle Ji's hard work in vain?" Ji Yao'er analyzed the consequences of this matter.
"In that case, wouldn't we hurt Uncle Luo?" Ji Feng's mind was full of the things that Mo Cangli had explained, and he really didn't realize these problems, but now he was reminded by Yao'er like this, and suddenly woke up.
"I think we'll go shopping again next time!" Although Ji Yao'er was reluctant to lose the opportunity to be alone with Ji Feng, she wanted to know about Ji Yan's situation even more.
It's not that Ji Yao'er cares about Ji Yan, but Ji Yan's situation is related to Ji Feng's safety, and Yao'er must understand it clearly.
"It seems that this is the only way to go. "Ji Feng is very unwilling, if he can get the Red Illusion Bead of the Water Phantom Beast today, he may be able to see the changes in himself tonight, but it's a pity that now......
"Brother Feng, don't be sad! We can ask Uncle Luo to help you buy it! First, he is a bazaar guard and knows more about the things in the bazaar; second, it is better to test whether he is Uncle Ji's cronies, so as not to trust the wrong person in the future. Ji Yao'er said.
Hearing this, Ji Feng looked at Ji Yao'er in surprise, the corners of his mouth rose, and he said with a smile: "Little girl, I can't see so many ghost ideas in your little head! Yao'er, it's very unusual!"
"How can there be?" Ji Yao'er slapped Ji Feng's hand lightly, and then turned around shyly.
According to what Ji Yao'er said, Ji Feng found Luo Bao and told Luo Bao what he wanted to buy, and at the same time handed over the card that Ji Yao'er gave him to Luo Bao. Although Luo Bao refused to accept it, he finally accepted it at Ji Feng's request, after all, Luo Bao was not a rich man, and a red illusion pearl had to cost Luo Bao several years of savings without eating or drinking.
"Second Young Master, don't worry, I will do it as soon as possible!" Luo Bao patted his chest and reassured, after all, the second young master asked him to do things for the first time, and the opportunity was rare.
"Thank you Uncle Luo for that!" Ji Feng said to Luo Bao, and then pulled Ji Yao'er out of the market and walked towards the family.
