Chapter 13 Trade Fairs

The next day, Zhu Youdao brought gifts to visit Liu Xiu's home, and the friendship between the two took a step further.

Only then did Zhu Youdao ask: "Brother Liu, I am a refiner, and I have been researching and refining a magic weapon recently, and I lack some first-order mid-grade spirit wood, I don't know if Brother Liu has it in the store?"

Liu Xiu said: "The growth cycle of the first-order middle-grade spirit wood is more than a hundred years, and there is not much production in the entire Yunzhou, and the products produced by my Liu family are all booked by major families and sects, and they rarely flow to the market, and even if there is, they will not be sold in a small place like Jinghu." ”

Zhu Youdao was disappointed when he heard this, but he listened to Liu Xiu's words and continued: "However, Zhu Daoyou came at the right time, there are a total of six Xiuzhen families on Jinghu Island, namely Wang, Fu, Xin, Zhong, Chu, and Huang, among which the head of the Huang family loves to make friends with fellow people from all over the world, and has the best popularity, he will hold a small trade fair in Jinghufang City next month, and everyone will trade their needs at the meeting, Zhu Daoyou can go to participate in it then, maybe there will be the spirit wood you need." ”

Zhu Youdao was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked: "I heard that the head of the Huang family is a foundation building monk, and he is lowly in the lower cultivation, can this trade fair set a threshold?"

Liu Xiu said: "As long as there are people who know each other to bring you, you can naturally participate." Brother Zhu, don't worry, leave this matter to me!"

Zhu Youdao thanked him again and again, chatted for a while, and then said goodbye.

A week later, Zhu Youdao suddenly felt something in his cultivation, knowing that it was time to break through, he concentrated his energy, operated his mana, and rushed towards the third spiritual vein, a brief tingling sensation hit, and then the full mana surged towards the dantian, more than double the size of before. Zhu Youdao knew that he was already a third-level Qi cultivator.

After a few more days, Zhu Youdao stabilized his cultivation, and then began to continue making talisman refiners, and then took them to Jinghufang City to sell. He wants to prepare more spirit stones before the trade fair, and take some good things by the way.

In the past, he passed by many markets, but he didn't dare to make a move when he saw good things, because his cultivation was too low, and he was afraid of being targeted if he made a generous move. In the cultivation realm, you have to be careful everywhere.

And this trade fair, according to Liu Xiu, will provide magic weapons to disguise his identity, and Zhu Youdao just took the opportunity to make a move.

Time flies, and more than a month has passed in a blink of an eye.

On the day of the trade fair, led by Liu Xiu, they successfully entered the venue.

In a side hall, a waiter handed each person a red vestment.

Liu Xiu explained: "This is a magic robe made of fire yarn, which can block the monk's divine sense, and when worn on the body, it cannot be seen through under the Jindan period. After entering, none of us know anyone, Zhu Daoyou, let's go out and see you again. ”

Liu Xiu changed into a magic robe, which was specially refined, covering people from head to toe. Zhu Youdao swept Liu Xiu with his divine sense, and sure enough, all he saw was a ball of flames.

Many gatherings such as auctions and trade fairs use this tactic to hide their identity. This prevents someone from photographing a higher-value item at the meeting, but being intercepted and killed after the meeting, and this kind of thing happens in the cultivation realm.

Zhu Youdao put on his magic robe and entered the main hall, and sure enough, there was a fiery red everywhere.

He found a seat and waited a few more moments, and the hall became more and more crowded.

After another moment, fifty or sixty monks had gathered in the hall. Seeing that no one was coming, the fair officially began.

A tall, thin monk with a goatee, who was not wearing a robe of fire yarn, was apparently the initiator of the gathering.

"Dear friends, thank you for your faces! Huang Xing'an, at the request of many colleagues, will hold such a trade fair once a year to facilitate everyone to communicate with each other and ......."

The fair officially began, and a beautifully dressed girl came to the stage with a plate.

Huang Xing'an introduced: "Huang doesn't have any good things, so he first took out some Jinghu specialties, which can be regarded as throwing bricks and attracting jade." These are the ten Mirror Lake Pearls! These pearls can be used to refine magic weapons, and after wearing, they can breathe underwater, and when taken directly, they can detoxify and also have a miraculous effect on the treatment of burns. This bead is auctioned one by one, and the starting price of each piece is one hundred spirit stones, and the auction starts now!"

"One hundred and one!"

"One hundred and two!"

"One hundred and fifteen!"

......

The production of Jinghu pearls is very low, and Zhu Youdao doesn't know if he can use them in the future, anyway, the price is not high, and he is ready to shoot the next one.

"Two hundred!" Zhu Youdao shouted.

The price is not high, but there are nine pearls behind it, and the others don't want to raise the price, so no one continues to compete. Huang Xing'an struck the hammer after counting one, two, three, and the first Mirror Lake pearl was taken by Zhu Youdao.

Facts have proved that Zhu Youdao took advantage of it first. After that, several pearls were auctioned for two hundred and twenty spirit stones, and the last two were auctioned for a high price of two hundred and fifty, and then they were sold.

Since then, the lot that has come to the stage is also a specialty of Jinghu, which is a kind of aquatic plant used for alchemy, with a starting price of two hundred spirit stones, but unfortunately this aquatic plant can only be used to refine two kinds of very remote elixirs, and there are very few people participating in the auction, Zhu Youdao doesn't even know what it is for, so naturally there is no bid.

Huang Xing'an, as the landlord, photographed more than ten commodities in a row, which made Zhu Youdao look hot, but these things were not what he urgently needed in front of him, and he didn't dare to shoot at will before he took pictures of the things he needed.

After Huang Xing'an went down, a monk in the crowd wearing a fire raccoon yarn robe came to the stage, and he took out a plant seedling to display: "Sell a spirit peach seedling below, it is a first-order lower grade spirit seed, Taoist friends buy it back, as long as it is cultivated to bear fruit, it is equivalent to a steady stream of first-order lower grade spirit pills, and the starting price is two hundred spirit stones!"

Things are good things, but there are two conditions for growing this spirit peach: one is to have a spiritual vein in one's own home, and the other is to understand the spirit planting technique.

Most of you here are casual cultivators, but there are no spiritual veins at home, and there are not many people who know spiritual planting techniques. Therefore, after the monk on the stage quoted the price, there was a cold scene, and no one quoted.

Zhu Youdao was a little strange, the Liu family was famous for its spiritual planting technique, why didn't he bid? I think it might be that the Liu family has a big business, and there is no shortage of such things.

The monk on the stage was a little embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and said, "One hundred and eighteen, it can't be less!"

Still no one bid, Huang Xingan said with a smile on the side: "This price is very reasonable, if no one bids, then I will accept this spirit peach, and go back to the younger generations of the family to plant and play!"

Seeing that Huang Xing'an was willing to ask for it, the monks on the stage were overjoyed, and they didn't wait any longer, and directly traded with him.

The monks in the audience took turns on the stage, each showing their treasures, and some did not sell anything, but directly asked for what they needed.

More than a dozen people went up in a row, but no one sold the spirit wood. Zhu Youdao made up his mind, when it was his turn, he went up to buy directly, maybe someone has a spirit wood on him, but he doesn't plan to sell it, and he quotes the purchase price higher, maybe people are willing to sell.

The thirty-second person came to the stage and shouted: "A piece of Xiaoye Lingtan, a first-order medium-grade spirit wood, one foot long, half a foot wide, three hundred spirit stones to start shooting!"

Finally waited, Zhu Youdao's spirit was shocked, he did not bid immediately, but watched others quote first.

Seeing that there were not too many people participating in the offer, Zhu Youdao had a number in his heart.

At this time, the price was reported to four hundred and five, and Zhu Youdao directly made a premium: "Six hundred!"

Someone hesitated: "Six hundred and five!"

Zhu Youdao: "Seven hundred!"

The man continued to follow: "Seven hundred and five!"

Zhu Youdao: "One thousand!"

This price was already too premium, and the man did not continue to compete, and Zhu Youdao got his wish and took the spirit wood into his pocket.

Although it cost a lot of spirit stones, Zhu Youdao thought it was worth it, because after refining it into a talisman carving, there would be countless times the return.
