Chapter 33: Suffering

After a long time, Lu Hao was ready to get up and leave.

The old man in Tsing Yi took out a jade plaque from his bosom and invited him to go to their Tianbao auction house to take a look at it when he had time, there would be a grand auction in the next two days.

Lu Hao put the jade plate and the spirit stone he received into the storage bag and left the Tianbao Pavilion.

The old man in Tsing Yi sent Lu Hao to the gate, and after seeing him leave, the middle-aged man behind him said, "Mo Lao, is this price too high?" ”

A Golden Toad Neidan in the early stage of foundation building, even if they sell it, they can only sell more than 500 low-level spirit stones, which alone is equivalent to saying that they don't make a penny, and the benefits are all taken by Lu Hao.

"If we can make a monk in the foundation building period have a good impression of us, this deal will not be a loss, and I am sure he will come again in the future." The old man in Tsing Yi looked at the direction where Lu Hao disappeared and said with a smile.

Out of the Wanbao Pavilion, Lu Hao walked all the way and came to a square, where many monks were like small traders, setting up a stall in front of them, or spreading a strip of cloth, putting some magic weapons or pills, and directly began to sell them.

From time to time, a monk stepped forward to take a few looks, and then whispered a few words, but there were still relatively few deals.

This is quite similar to the stalls in the secular world.

At this time, the sky is getting late, but the square is brightly lit, a huge sky lantern suspended in the air, these sky lanterns are all made of spirit crystal, the whole body is antique, its light transmission and sustainability are very good.

There is no lamp in the sky lantern, but a stone bead, which originates from the body of a starlight beast at the bottom of the East China Sea, the light emitted by this stone bead is hundreds of times stronger than that of the lamp, and it does not need to be replaced often, one is enough to light for several years.

At this time, more and more people poured into the square, and there were many new stall owners, making this place lively for a while.

Some of these people's costumes are very strange, some are tightly wrapped, only a pair of eyes are exposed, I don't know if they thought they were out to rob, and some only wear a pair of pants, and the rest is naked.

There are also beggars dressed up, Taoists dressed up, all kinds of types.

Lu Hao began to walk slowly, like other immortal cultivators, looking carefully, refusing to miss anything, even if he didn't buy it, he could see it for a long time.

There are generally two ways to trade between immortal cultivators, one is bartering, as long as both parties think it is appropriate, they will exchange with each other.

Or is it just to trade in the way of spirit stones, just like Lu Hao's previous transaction, the other party gave spirit stones.

The spirit stone is a common currency among the monks, it contains abundant aura, it is said that in the primeval period millions of epochs ago, the aura between heaven and earth was very rich, these aura continued to condense, formed crystals, and became the so-called spirit stone now.

The spiritual energy absorbed by monks usually takes a lot of time to refine and turn it into more refined spiritual power.

And the aura in the spirit stone, compared to the aura absorbed by one's own cultivation, will be more refined, and it does not need to spend a lot of time refining, the higher the level of the spirit stone, the richer the aura it contains.

Moreover, spirit stones have many other functions, such as arranging formations, alchemy, and refining tools, all of which require spirit stones to provide energy.

Some powerful magic circles directly consume spirit stones, while alchemy and refining tools provide spiritual energy for cultivators, because it takes a lot of time to refine these, and if the caster's spiritual energy can't keep up, it is easy to cause the end of destruction and death.

Spirit stones are strictly divided according to the amount of spiritual energy contained and the purity of the essence, and are divided into low-level spirit stones, middle-level spirit stones and high-level spirit stones.

At the same time, the spirit stone also has the division of attributes, which is divided into seven attributes, gold spirit stone, wood spirit stone, water spirit stone, fire spirit stone, earth spirit stone, wind spirit stone, among which the rarest and most valuable is the thunder spirit stone.

Lu Hao was dazzled by this way, and finally stopped in front of a stall, which seemed very deserted, so he stayed alone.

The stall owner was a young man dressed as a scholar with a gentleman's face, and three sets of array flags were placed in front of him, and the prices were all marked.

Among them, the set of array flags with the least placement was priced at twenty low-rank spirit stones, and the number of the other two sets of array flags increased significantly, with a price tag of fifty low-rank spirit stones and four hundred low-rank spirit stones.

Not all monks are formation masters, so many monks choose to buy the formation flags arranged by others, as long as they are arranged according to the requirements, they can quickly form a set of formations.

Having this set of array flags is very effective, whether it is used to block enemies or to protect one's own cave.

"You're too expensive, aren't you?" Lu Hao asked the scholar young man, he was already so poor, the spirit stone in his pocket was not hot yet, and he was going to spend it now, and he was really reluctant to spend 10,000.

"Brother, since you can stay with me, you must have excellent vision, my high-level formation can defend against the attack of the peak powerhouse of the Jindan period, what does this mean I don't need to say." Scholar, so many people have the expression of knowing the goods.

"What kind of atmosphere is blowing, in your realm, the formation you have made can withstand the blow of the peak powerhouse of the Jindan period?" Lu Hao was a little unconvinced.

"Alas, don't go, I think you are also extraordinary, since you have seen it, I will tell you the truth, this can resist the blow of the strong man in the early stage of Jindan!" Scholar young man, with an expression that you can see, said helplessly.

"Tell the truth!" Lu Hao didn't want to talk nonsense either.

"One blow from the peak powerhouse of the foundation!"

"Tell the truth!" Lu Hao had an expression of wanting to leave.

"One blow from the peak powerhouse of the Qi Refining Period!" The scholar is a young man, his face is red, and he can only tell the truth.

Lu Hao was a little speechless, this set of array flags went from being able to withstand a blow from a peak powerhouse in the Jindan stage to only being able to withstand a blow from a powerhouse in the Qi refining stage, the speed of decline was too fast, if a monk really listened to his nonsense, it is estimated that he would not know how to die like this.

Lu Hao saw that this kid was so insincere in business, so he prepared to leave.

"Brother, don't go, seeing each other is fate, you make a price, as long as it is suitable, you will sell it." The scholarly young man saw that Lu Hao was leaving, and hurriedly grabbed him.

"One hundred lower-rank spirit stones at a fixed price!" Lu Hao tentatively shouted the price, and he still liked this set of array flags very much.

"Deal!" What he never expected was that this young man readily agreed.

Lu Hao took the chessboard, only to see that there were more than 20 array flags inserted in it, as well as a book explaining the layout.

With some pain, he handed over a hundred spirit stones to the scholar youth, and Lu Hao left in the scholar's smiling gaze.
