Chapter Twenty-Nine: Transactions
Obviously, it has only been about half a year in the Qinghe Sword Sect, but this time when he went down the mountain, Shen Ci had a feeling of being in a different world.
The people who come and go are full of the atmosphere of fireworks in the world, which is completely different from the purity on Yuheng Peak.
Since it was a business that was generated by relying on the Qinghe Sword Sect, there were naturally many Qinghe Sword Sect monks walking here. There are also monks of other schools or casual cultivators. Of course, there are many ordinary mortals mixed in with it.
Along the way, there are countless spiritual stone shops, talisman shops, magic weapon shops, etc., all kinds of shops are dazzling and countless.
There was still some time before the auction began, and Fu Yunsheng took Shen Ci to wander around the market.
Shen Ci was shy, and he only looked at the high-end and atmospheric shops outside the door, but was very interested in the monks who were just a piece of cloth on the street. These people set up stalls on the streets, most of them wearing cloaks and hats, or simply masks, and they sell strange things.
Shen Ci looked around, and he was blushing at many things, but he couldn't hold back a small stone in the dantian complaining frantically.
"With a divine and powerful weapon like me, you would actually look at other weapons?"
Shen Ci: γγγγγγ
"What are you staring at such an inferior talisman! β
Shen Ci: γγγγγγ
"Dare to claim to be a unicorn egg, unicorns are viviparous!
Shen Ci: γγγγγγ She almost burst out laughing, causing the stall owner to stare at her suspiciously for a long time.
"Hurry up, hurry up, I feel the breath of a baby in front of me!" Xiao Shi shouted loudly in the dantian, and there was a rush in the cute children's voice, "It's not an ordinary baby! I didn't expect such a strange thing to exist in such a small place!"
Shen Ci had no choice but to endure the little stone's nagging, and at the same time continue to walk forward unhurriedly following the little stone's guidance.
Fu Yunsheng was actually impatient for a long time, but he saw that Shen Ci was so interested. Knowing that she had been practicing hard during this time, she was a little stunned, and she was afraid that she would be easy to be cheated by others, so she still followed her not far away.
Finally, in the slow swing of Shen Ci, he came to the stall that let the little stone keep urging.
This stall looks like the others, and there is nothing out of the ordinary. The stall owner was a man dressed in a black cloak who completely hid his face in the cloak, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman.
There were three or five things on his stall. A bundle of gray weed-like medicinal herbs, two talismans of immobilization spells, a dagger full of green rust, and a large stone full of dark and pitted spots. Nothing strange looks like.
Shen Ci couldn't help but ask in his heart: "Little stone, is there the baby you said in this stall?"
"That's right! This is it! The stone must be bought!" said the little stone anxiously.
Shen Ci laughed in his heart: "Are you really a little stone?"
"Hmph!" Xiao Shi said angrily, "I helped you recognize the baby, and you still laughed at me!
"Alright, alright, don't be angry. Shen Ci hurriedly coaxed, "Then what's so special about this stone?"
"Don't talk nonsense yet!" said Xiao Shi, "There are more treasures in this city, but this is the best one!
Shen Ci looked at a wooden sign in front of the stall that read, "Only exchange, not sell"! With an idea in his heart, he squatted down, pointed to the dagger that was full of green rust, and asked, "Boss, can you take a look at this dagger?"
"Yes. "The voice coming from under the cloak was deep and hoarse, making it impossible to distinguish the age of the gender.
Shen Ci took the dagger in his hand and looked at it casually, and the little stone said unhappily in her dantian: "This is an ordinary dagger, it's okay to use it to deceive ordinary mortals, you have to take that stone!"
"I know!" Shen replied, "Don't worry. β
Shen Ci showed a look of interest: "This dagger is all green rust, and it is ordinary, and it is not a magic weapon." Why do you think anyone would buy it?"
"Those who know the goods will naturally buy it!" the stall owner's voice was obviously displeased, "If you don't want to buy it, you can leave!"
"Who's to say I don't want to buy it, I haven't bought anything after a while, so it doesn't hurt to buy something and go back and put it on display. Shen Ci feigned anger and said, "Fellow Daoist, aren't you driving everyone out by talking like this?!"
"However, didn't you say here that you only exchange and don't sell? What do you want to exchange?" Shen Ci asked.
"Yunsi Ice Silkworm, I'll give you one if there's one!" the stall owner said coldly.
Fu Yunsheng sneered and pulled Shen Ci: "Hmph, this is slaughtering us as fat sheep? What is the Yunsi Ice Silkworm? I don't know how many daggers like you can be exchanged!"
The stall owner's voice became even colder: "Put down your things and get out!"
"You are really more arrogant than Lao Tzu!" Fu Yunsheng's face suddenly did not look good.
Shen Ci suddenly heard a small stone "Huh", and said, "Peel off a little green rust and let me take a closer look." β
Shen Ci peeled off a small piece of green rust the size of a fingernail at the blade of the dagger, the dagger inside the green rust was actually as bright as new, and the cold light on the thin blade flickered, which seemed to be very sharp.
Xiao Shi's voice was even more curious: "What kind of material is this? I haven't seen it before?"
When Shen Ci heard this, he felt that this broken dagger was also a good thing: "Thatγγγγγ Bring this thing down too?"
Xiao Shi didn't want to admit that he had just looked away, but he was still curious about the material and efficacy of this dagger, so he squirmed and said "um".
"However, do you know what the Yunsi Ice Silkworm is?! It is a spirit beast that can only be raised in the Weaving Cloud Palace in the Seven Great Sects of the Cloud Cang Kingdom. There's no such thing here. Little Stone said.
Shen Ci stopped Fu Yunsheng, who was about to reprimand angrily, and said to the stall owner: "Don't be angry, I think I really like this dagger, I really want it." If you're sincere in doing business, you might as well say something you want. β
"Silly girl!" Fu Yunsheng said hurriedly.
"Senior brother, can't you let me buy something I like?" Shen Ci said coquettishly with bright eyes.
Fu Yunsheng immediately lost his temper, so he had to turn his back and say, "Then I don't care about you." β
"Stallholder, how's it going?" asked Shen Ci.
The stall owner thought for a while before replying, "The five Flowing Fire Pills will be exchanged for you." β
The Flowing Fire Pill is an elixir that can be used by cultivators who practice fire-attribute exercises to quickly replenish fire-attribute spiritual power. The effect is even inferior to the Qinghe Sword Sect's Qingling Liquid. The spiritual power that can be replenished by the clear spirit liquid is suitable for exercises of any attribute, but the Flowing Fire Pill can only replenish the spiritual power of the fire attribute, and for monks of other attributes, the effect of replenishing spiritual power is much worse.
