Chapter 31: Free Market (2)
There are many immortals who come and go in Lingshan Immortal Township, and through observation, Jin Ling found that more than eighty out of five are immortals, about one out of three are immortal masters, and the others are higher-level characters.
The division of areas in the town is obvious, the central area is the township lord's office and the corresponding offices, the northeast is the temporary free market, the northwest is the permanent weapon shop, armor shop, jewelry magic weapon shop, etc., the southwest is the fairy beast and mount market, and the southeast is the residential area.
At this time, hundreds of stalls had already been set up in the fairy bazaar. People come and go between the stalls, bargaining, and it is very lively. The goods sold at each stall ranged from finished products such as weapons, armor, and elixirs to materials picked from fairy beasts, all kinds of herbs, ores, etc. In addition to these immortal supplies, mortal merchants also joined in the fun, and there were also many stalls for all kinds of food, play, handicrafts and so on.
Like Yang Xuan and the others, Jin Ling also wanted to find a weapon suitable for his use. After being promoted to an immortal, ordinary iron tools are no longer suitable for use due to their extremely poor ability to transmit immortal power. At the very least, you need a weapon with a fine iron or higher.
The merchants who traveled with them before had told them that the goods in the free market were also uneven, and that there were often unscrupulous merchants who were shoddy, counterfeit and shoddy, and harmed customers. As newcomers to the immortal level, they try to go to the permanent big store in Xianxiang to buy relevant equipment to avoid being deceived. They also know this truth, but the existence of the free market still has a certain significance, there are more things, the price is cheaper than the permanent big stores, and there are often some novel and interesting things appear, and sometimes people will pick up the leaks.
Buying something more expensive at a lower price is called picking up leaks. Many people like to visit the Freedom Market, and this mentality of picking up bargains plays a considerable role.
There is a real variety of things in the Liberty Bazaar, and the owners of the stalls are constantly soliciting customers. Jin Ling's goal is very clear, that is, a suitable weapon, and nothing else will be looked at.
There were thirty or forty stalls selling weapons, mainly swords, which were the most used weapons by the immortals. Jin Ling urged the immortal power and used the Qi Hope Technique to observe them one by one. In front of a keen perception, all the rhetoric of the stall sellers is not hidden. Some of the fine iron weapons are indeed of acceptable quality, but the price is on the high side, far beyond his affordability. The quality of most fine iron weapons is mediocre. There are even some that are shoddy, not fine iron at all!
"Little brother, come and take a look at me, I have some good weapons here. Li Ji craftsmen shop, cheap sale. The sharp-eyed stall owners found that Jin Ling was always looking at weapons, and knew that this was the person who really wanted to buy equipment, not those who came to shop and join in the fun, so they actively solicited customers.
However, the goods on their stall did not meet Jin Ling's wishes.
Jin Ling doesn't have to use a sword or a knife with Da Yu, his principle is to follow his feelings, as long as it suits him.
After watching it for a long time, he didn't buy the equipment, but there was a dog that aroused his interest.
Originally, pets and mounts were not allowed to be sold in this free market area, and only in the southwest area. This little girl who sells dogs may not understand such rules, and she pulls two purple and black chains more than seven feet long when she pulls them in her hands.
The little earth dog is very small, only slightly larger than the palm of a person's hand, and it is the kind of pet size that upper-class ladies prefer. But it was covered in muddy water, dirty and smelly, and the eyes of the two black bean-like elves looked at the little girl from time to time, and then looked at the iron chain, and tears rolled in their eyes with grievance.
As for this little girl, she was even more aggrieved.
The little girl was only eight or nine years old, slightly younger than Jin Ling. His body was dirty like a little screamer. She was barefoot, and her jet-black toes stenched from time to time. She seemed to be extremely disgusted by the stench, and she covered her mouth and nose desperately, as if her face was about to cry at any moment.
The little girl sat on the ground, dragging the two chains that were not proportionate to the size of the pet, and struggled to write two crooked words on the ground: Sell dogs.
There were a lot of people coming and going, and no one paid attention to the little girl. Also, as far as the dog's appearance is concerned, even if it is sold, it will only give people a share of the current wine and food, and maybe it will be too little meat.
Jin Ling stopped in front of her. Because, under the glance of his inadvertent use of the Qi Hope Technique, he felt that there was something strange about these two long dog chains, and a purple light flashed on them, which instantly pierced his eyes and made his eyes hurt, and he couldn't help but shed tears.
Someone next to him noticed: "This child has such a good heart, and when he sees a beggar, he can shed tears." ”
"Feel the same way, could it be that I was a beggar before?
"Long-lost brothers and sisters?"
As soon as the little girl who sold dogs endured all her reluctance to write the words "selling dogs", she saw a boy about her age, with a short sword in his waist, crying at herself, and couldn't help but be stunned.
Jin Ling knew that he had lost his temper, wiped away his tears, and recalled that during the operation of the first weight of the Qi Dao just now, his eyes were as uncomfortable as if he had encountered a needle prick on this chain. He looked at hundreds of items at the bazaar, and none of them gave him this feeling!
While feeling uncomfortable, he had only one thought in his heart: these two long dog chains must have an extraordinary origin!
"This dog, how can this dog be sold?" his eyes were still painful, and Jin Ling had to ask while wiping his eyes.
"You want to buy it?" the girl asked suspiciously. Although the man is dirty, his eyes are clear.
I don't buy dogs, I just think the leash is extraordinary. It's just that asking for a dog leash directly is too attention-grabbing. Jin Ling thought in his heart and said, "You just say how much it is, right?" and he also felt uneasy about what he had just thought.
"Fifty gold dollars. The little girl said directly.
Jin Ling was taken aback: "Many, how much?"
"Fifty gold dollars. The girl stroked the little earth dog and said seriously, "This is the Howling Moon Dog, very precious." It's not that I want to use money, so I'm reluctant to sell. ”
Jin Ling didn't know what a Howling Moon Dog was, he just felt that this little girl was crazy about money. It's a big puppy to sell for three or five silver dollars. Thinking about the pitiful dozen or so hard-won gold coins in his hand, he didn't even have the interest in bargaining, and was ready to flash directly.
A puppy is already so expensive, those two chains can sting his eyes, and the price must be higher, he can't afford it.
"Hey, come back, you can bargain!" the little girl hurriedly shouted when she saw him turn to leave, and stamped her foot. For most of the day, it is rare to have a price.
Jin Ling turned around at this time, and when he saw her in a hurry, the tears in his eyes seemed to be about to fall. Under the tear stains, the skin turned out to be white and delicate. Isn't this little girl a beggar, or is she in trouble and has come to this point?
"I need money urgently, save people, you really want to buy it, you can buy it cheaper. The girl said eagerly.
"I don't have that much money. There were only a dozen gold dollars. Jin Ling said honestly.
The girl also seemed to understand that fifty gold dollars was definitely not something ordinary people could afford. She was sad, like that little earth dog, tears rolling in her eyes.
"Don't be upset. Jin Ling said, "If you have any difficulties, maybe I can help you if you say it." I won't buy dogs. ”
How do you know that he is so soft, the little girl actually lowered her head, stroked the puppy, and murmured: "Little bean, it's not that Xian'er doesn't want you, it's really that the situation is too bad now, Xian'er can't support herself, you follow Xian'er, you will only suffer more." And, more importantly, without money, Grandpa Du would die. Turning to Jin Ling again, "Actually, as long as you treat it well, it doesn't matter if you have more money or less money." If it continues to follow me, it will starve to death and die of disease. ”
Then he stretched out his hand: "Bring it!"
Jin Ling was stunned: "What?"
The little girl said, "Aren't you going to buy a dog?
Jin Ling was a little impulsive to slap himself in the mouth, saying that ten or so gold yuan, that is all his property!
