Chapter 34: Bargging
There is only one city in the entire Tiancui Island, called Linsheng, which means that it is close to the holy land (Du Lian's cave), and the area is as wide as it can be seen, and there are more than 50 cultivation sects scattered on the island, with more than one million resident cultivators.
In the Holy Source System, whether it is the Miracle Space or the Living Planet, the ratio between cultivators and civilians is always the majority of civilians, and the difference in number is very large, more than ten million times, and similarly, there are also many civilians on Tiancui Island.
There are not only cultivators in the Holy City, but also civilians, and every grand event will be held on Tiancui Island without special reasons, and the location is in the Holy City.
Due to its special status, Linsheng City does not belong to any one sect's power, but is jointly managed by all the cultivation sects on Tiancui Island, each faction sends a Yuan Infant Stage cultivator to sit in Linsheng City, plus a hundred Foundation Building Stage cultivators and an Infant Pill Stage cultivator to form an escort team to maintain order in the city, and rotate every hundred years.
Cultivators live a long life, no one will care about the time of those hundred years, even if it is the current Wang Long, even if he can't break through to the foundation building period, he can live for a thousand years.
Then again, even if there is no cultivator in charge, the Holy City will basically not be chaotic, after all, this place is not far from Du Lian's cave mansion, who dares to play a big knife in front of Guan Gong, isn't that looking for death?
In the Holy City, there are all kinds of shops, nearly eighty percent of the industry comes from those local sects on Tiancui Island, and the other two percent are opened by the general trend on Blue Mercury, and the strong dragon plus the earth head snake, foreign cultivators basically dare not make trouble.
After Wang Lung and Liefei returned to the Holy City, they did not directly participate in the so-called auction, because the time had not yet come, so the two of them just wandered around casually to kill time.
In the current Holy City, there are not too many foreign cultivators, and one auction a day is enough. In normal times, there may not be such a time a year, but now it is different, after all, the event will be held in half a year, and the time is not long, but not short. The flow of people is at least ten times more than usual, don't think that there are ten times as many people, wait until the most sluggish and then look at it, it is estimated that there is no place to put your feet.
Shopping is the preserve of women, and men rarely go shopping, especially Wang Lung, who hates this the most, but it is a shopping mall on the earth, and now it is a cultivator's shop. The things inside are all kinds of and exquisite, even Wang Long, who doesn't want to go shopping, can't help but watch it.
Spiritual weapons, spiritual herbs, rune paper, silk books, etc., everything, Wang Lung's eyes are a little bad, but he has not lost himself, and he is very sober to know that these things are of no use to him now, and he has not reached the level of a true cultivator. These things can only be flowers in the mirror, moons in the water.
For the things used by the cultivators. In terms of Wang Lung's identity now, it's not that all of them are useless, there are only two kinds that can be used, one is a spar, and the other is a silk book.
Needless to say, hedron is the hard currency of the entire universe. Not only is it useful in the Saint Source system, but it is also useful in other alien systems, even if you don't use the spar as currency, you can absorb the aura in it for your own cultivation, of course. No cultivator would be stupid enough to use a hedron to cultivate.
The silk book naturally recorded some very precious information, Wang Lung had a few copies in his hand, but they were all some foundations within the Holy Source Department, which were not treasures, those materials were enough for Wang Lung to read now, and he couldn't digest them if he had more, and even if he showed him a lot of profound things, he might not be able to understand them.
It's not so much shopping, it's better to say that Wang Lung opened his eyes, he didn't buy anything, not that there were no spars, but that many things were of no use to him now, rather than wasting the spars, it was better to keep them for a rainy day.
With Wang Lung by his side, it doesn't matter where he goes, shopping is just an excuse.
Time passed slowly, Wang Lung looked up at the sun after coming out of a spiritual weapon shop, and it was going to be dark in a while, he still didn't know when the so-called auction would be held, and it was almost time to visit, although there were many shops in the Holy City, but shopping around was nothing more than those things, even if Wang Lung was interested, after two or three hours, he would be annoyed.
"Liefei!" Wang Lung turned around and shouted, Liefei hadn't come out yet, she was bargaining with the boss, she didn't have to buy that spiritual weapon, it was just a mouthful.
At the beginning, Liefei and Wang Lung entered a spiritual herb shop, Wang Lung learned about the market, but Liefei and the boss kept bargaining for a thousand-year-old spiritual grass.
Wang Lung didn't know why, so he hurriedly accompanied the boss and didn't take away Lieyan, a thousand-year-old spirit grass, as for it? That spirit grass is nothing special, Wang Lung himself has a few, and that is still obtained after killing Hong Yiping, if Liefei wants, Wang Lung will not be stingy.
Then Wang Lung realized that Lieyan didn't want to buy any spiritual herbs at all, just to enjoy the pleasure of bargaining, and set out the other party's reserve price step by step to see how much the other party could hack himself.
After Wang Lung knew the reason for the Dao, he secretly scolded himself for being a fool, who is Liefei, the Earth Emperor of the Green Plains Star, can she lack spiritual herbs? The Green Plains Star is the back garden of her family, and she can't take any kind of spiritual grass she wants, unless there is no one on the Green Plains Star.
After knowing the problem of Liefei, Wang Lung stopped meddling at all in the following time, but watched from the sidelines like watching a play, and sometimes was pulled by Liefei to play a deceived customer and bargain with her.
Wang Lung does not object to such a hobby, he can also know how much money the merchants make from it, as the saying goes, if you don't look at it, you don't know it, and you will be shocked when you see it.
Sometimes the level of bargaining is very high, and those bosses can't resist the pressure at all, they just want to make less money and send the concubines away quickly, so as to save unnecessary trouble, even so, the concubines will not pay for it.
Take an ordinary millennium spirit grass as an example, in the store, it is generally a hundred low-grade spars that can be bought, and after being bargained by the concubines, a hundred low-grade spars can buy three, you can imagine how much windfall profits can be, this is definitely not the lowest price, after all, it is impossible for any boss to lose money and make money.
Wang Lung was accustomed to the bargaining of the concubines, and if he hadn't watched the sun go down, he wouldn't have bothered the other party.
"What's wrong?" heard Wang Lung call himself. Lieyan directly left the boss and walked out of the store.
Wang Lung stretched out his finger and pointed to the sun that was about to disappear and said, "Look, it's getting dark, when will the auction you said start, don't delay it any longer." ”
"Huh...... , I thought something was going on, don't worry. There will be no delay this time. Liefei said with a light smile at Wang Lung.
"That's fine. Wang Lung said while looking sideways at the boss just now and continued to ask, "How is it, what is the price?"
Lieyan did not speak, but gestured with her delicate little hand.
"What? Two hundred pins of spars, then he ...... just now," Wang Lung said as he looked at Lieyan in surprise and stretched out two fingers.
Liefei didn't let Wang Lung finish talking at all, and quickly covered the other party's mouth with her hand, and whispered: "Be quiet, let's go, let's talk as we go." ”
Wang Lung was also embarrassed by his reckless act just now, and he couldn't be blamed for it entirely, for the spirit weapon. The value is much higher than that of the spirit herb, but the lower grade spirit weapon was quoted by the shop owner at the beginning of the price of eight hundred lower grade spars, and the lie concubine actually cut it to two hundred, and the gap was too big.
The auction had not yet begun, and Wang Lung and Liefei were not in a hurry, the two did not patronize any more shops, and walked side by side into the distance, discussing the spiritual artifact with each other as they went.
As everyone knows. The spirit weapon is divided into grades, and there are four grades: lower, middle and upper and the best. And each grade should be divided into four grades, which are also the four grades of the lower, middle and upper grades and the best, and the spirit weapon is the spirit treasure, which is also divided into four grades and four grades, and then it is the artifact used by the powerhouse of the transcendence of the god transformation period.
Under normal circumstances, cultivators in the foundation building period use low-grade spiritual weapons. Cultivators in the infant pill stage use medium-grade spiritual weapons, cultivators in the Yuan infant stage use high-grade spiritual weapons, distraction periods use top-grade spiritual weapons, infant-deficiency periods use lower-grade spiritual treasures, and medium-grade spiritual treasures are used in the combined period. The use of high-grade spiritual treasures during the transformation period, but this is not absolute, as long as they have the ability to obtain better spiritual weapons and spiritual treasures, cultivators can also use them, but high-level spiritual weapons or spiritual treasures have relatively high requirements for cultivators' cultivation, and it is difficult to give full play to the power of high-grade spiritual weapons or spiritual treasures, and each cultivator will generally use spiritual weapons or spiritual treasures that do not exceed their own cultivation to a level.
The spiritual weapon that Lieyan bargained just now is an inferior low-grade spiritual weapon, that is, the most rubbish kind of spiritual weapon, even if it is a garbage spiritual weapon, its value is also above the ordinary thousand-year-old spiritual grass, after all, there can be only one kind of material required to refine a spiritual weapon, and it is necessary to cast and add the corresponding formation, not to mention the time-consuming and laborious process, as well as various factors such as the probability of success of refining.
At the beginning, the owner of the spirit shop quoted 800 lower grade spars, Wang Lung thought that according to Lieyan's bargaining method, it would be good to be able to bargain for up to 600 spars, but the result of the most decant was completely unexpected, and 200 spars could be done, this is not the transaction price after the most decanteen, it is estimated that if you give Liefei a period of time, the other party will definitely drop a lot.
"This is simply a huge profit, as long as you open a shop, you can sell a lot of spars in one tattered. Wang Lung said with emotion.
Liefei smiled and said to Wang Lung, "Hehe...... In fact, it is not as profitable as you think, and there are still many tricks to it. ”
"Oh, what else? ”
"What's the fuss about this, the once-in-a-lifetime event is about to start in half a year, and more than half of the cultivators on the entire Blue Mercury will visit this place, how can those local shops give up this great opportunity, I dare not say more, the price alone will be one or two times higher than usual, no matter what it is, during this time, the prices in the Holy City will definitely rise to a surprising level. ”
Liefei talked to Wang Lung unhurriedly, and she told Wang Lung all her opinions in detail.
Indeed, as soon as the 10,000-year event opened, the eyes of the entire Blue Mercury fell on the Holy City, and the starting price was definitely cost-effective, and now selling one piece a day would earn more than the usual ten pieces, and it didn't matter if foreign cultivators didn't want to buy it, naturally someone was willing to be the wronged leader.
The two talked as they walked, and soon returned to the main road, Wang Lung looked up at the nearby buildings and directions, and he found that Liefei was taking him back to the inn.
Speaking of the inn, Wang Lung originally wanted to ask the concubines to return the room, but the Ling Xiang faction's internal competition was not seen, and it would not take too long to participate in the auction, and he could go home at any time using the teleportation array, and it was a waste to leave another room.
However, for Wang Lung's proposal, Liefei directly vetoed it, and she brought Wang Lung here, not just to participate in an auction.
The auction is not once a day now, but it is also divided into grades, the auctions of the foundation building period and the infant pill period are not worth mentioning, and the auctions above the yuan infant period are what Liefei cares about, she is preparing to refine a thing, most of the materials have been prepared, and there is still one thing missing.
Participating in the auction, the concubine just wants to try his luck, and it is best to be able to buy it, even if no one wants to auction it, it doesn't matter, because in addition to the auction, there are some private fairs that can be participated.
As long as the things that enter the auction are all kinds of fine products, they are useless to Wang Lung at all, as for participating in the auction, it is nothing more than following behind the concubines and opening their eyes.
Since Liefei didn't want to leave the room, Wang Lung still felt that it was better to ask for another room, after all, it was inconvenient for the two to be alone in the same room, but Liefei still didn't agree.
Everyone is an adult, and they are all cultivators, it doesn't matter where they live, Lieyu persuaded Wang Lung to stop looking at this matter from the eyes of ordinary civilians, it would be very good to have a room to accommodate now, and when the number of outsiders in the Holy City increased, they would not even be able to find a place to live.
The two of them also stayed in the Holy City for three days, regardless of whether they gained anything or not, they had to leave after three days, and there were several players waiting for Wang Lung to show his might. (To be continued......)
