Chapter 41 Extremely High Prices

The temple is located in the west of the demon capital, and the human settlement area where Cheng Ziming lives is in the easternmost part of the demon capital. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info middle of the two, that is, the most central area of the demon capital, is the Holy Demon Imperial City where the Demon Emperor lives. Not to mention that inside the Imperial City, even the marginal areas outside the Imperial City are forbidden places in the demon capital, and they are heavily guarded by demon guards. Even ordinary demon clans are strictly forbidden to approach, let alone human immortal cultivators like Cheng Ziming.

Therefore, Cheng Ziming wanted to go home from the temple, and he had to take a long detour from the south to the east city. Nancheng has a vast area and is the largest urban area in the demon capital, which is controlled by the wood demon, and a large area of it is the Spirit Wood Garden. Most of the spirit grass and spirit fruits produced were supplied to the demon clans living in the demon capital, and the small half was purchased by a few wealthy human immortal cultivators.

In addition to the Spirit Wood Garden, Nancheng also opened up a lot of spiritual fields near Dongcheng, and hired low-level human immortal cultivators and mortals to cultivate Spirit Valleys, which were important rations for the humans in Dongcheng.

In order to save time, Cheng Ziming specially went to the famous store "Wanyi" in Xicheng to buy a wide wooden carriage. This car is called the "Yunxiang car", and it is a luxury land carriage famous in the demon capital. The frame is made of a hardwood called "Yunxiang pine", which is not only durable, but also lightweight, making it a high-quality wood for horse-drawn carriages and other vehicles. The carriage is painted with purple red lacquer, the top is carved with floating clouds, and the wooden doors and the wooden windows on both sides are decorated with gold and silver leaves. The floor of the carriage is covered with a soft cashmere carpet, the seats are covered with sable leather cushions and cushions, and the walls on either side are decorated with two strings of night pearls for lighting.

There are two tall and sturdy wheels on each side of the carriage, and four sturdy wind attribute "cloud-treading horses" are equipped in front. This kind of horse is pure white as snow, with four hooves vigorous and windy, although it is not very tall, but it runs like wind and electricity, and it is an excellent horse for pulling carts. And this "cloud-stepping horse" has a gentle temperament, is very obedient, coupled with the two advantages of hard-working and loyal, which makes this kind of horse very popular among the demon clan and immortal cultivators.

And Cheng Ziming's two Yunxiang cars, the four horses they were equipped with were even more rare and precious, and they were all demon beasts that had cultivated to the peak of the ninth layer of the Gathering Spirit, and had already taken the "Early Hui Dan" and opened the wisdom. Usually, the "Cloud Horse" of the demon capital has to take on the heavy work of pulling carts, and it is difficult to reach the realm of the Great Perfection of the Gathering Spirit Period by relying on their own cultivation. These four horses were born of one group, because of their pure bloodlines and good qualifications, they were carefully fed with spirit grass by the original breeder, until they reached the Great Perfection realm of the ninth layer of the spirit gatherer, and then they were sold together with the Yunxiang car. In order to sell them at a good price, "Wan Yiyi" also took "Zaohui Dan" for these four horses, so that they could memorize the road map of the demon capital and educate them to be very polite.

Originally, Cheng Ziming thought that the carriage always had to be four-wheeled, but the guy who was "all liveable" explained that this kind of carriage with two tall round wheels was more comfortable to sit in than a four-wheeled carriage, especially on the road with bad conditions, which was faster and more stable. Cheng Ziming considered that the road near his home was not a magnificent avenue, so he accepted his man's suggestion and bought the two-wheeled carriage.

Including the horses, the price of these two carriages is one hundred medium-grade spirit stones. This is really ridiculously expensive for a magic weapon that can't fly and can only run on land.

Usually, according to the quality, spirit stones can be divided into the best spirit stones, upper grade spirit stones, middle grade spirit stones and lower grade spirit stones. When the spirit stone is used as currency, generally a top-grade spirit stone can be equivalent to a hundred high-grade spirit stones, and a high-grade spirit stone can be equivalent to a hundred medium-grade spirit stones, and by analogy, a medium-grade spirit stone can be equivalent to a hundred lower-grade spirit stones.

However, because high-quality spirit stones are very rare, in actual trading, high-quality spirit stones are often more valuable. Therefore, this carriage will be priced at one hundred medium-grade spirit stones, not one high-grade spirit stone. Although according to common sense, a high-grade spirit stone is equivalent to a hundred medium-grade spirit stones, even if there are customers who have high-grade spirit stones, they are more willing to use medium-grade spirit stones to buy them, and keep the high-grade spirit stones for other uses.

As for why this carriage is ridiculously expensive, it is because the same carriage, if it is taken to the realm of human immortal cultivators to buy and sell, the price should be more than fifty medium-grade spirit stones, that is, about half of the price.

Cheng Ziming has long known the price of the demon capital. If measured by spirit stones, the price of the demon capital is high enough to make all immortal cultivators staggered. For example, in the realm of human immortal cultivators, the lower-grade spirit stones will be subdivided into high-level lower-grade spirit stones, middle-level lower-grade spirit stones, and low-level lower-grade spirit stones. A high-grade low-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for 10 middle-level lower-grade spirit stones, while a middle-grade low-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for 10 low-level lower-grade spirit stones.

In the demon capital, there is no such thing as a middle-level and low-level low-grade spirit stone at all. Only the high-grade low-grade spirit stones in the eyes of human immortal cultivators will be traded and used by the demon clan as low-grade spirit stones, while the middle-grade and low-grade low-grade spirit stones can only be regarded as beautiful stones with some spiritual energy, and they are not qualified to be traded in the market.

An ordinary talisman may be worth a low-grade spirit stone in the realm of a human immortal cultivator, but in the demon capital, it will only be priced as a low-grade spirit stone. The price has been increased by a hundredfold.

Therefore, when Cheng Ziming first came to the demon capital, he was also taken aback by this high price. Later, after gradually getting used to it, he discovered that the root of this phenomenon was not so much the high price of the demon capital, but the low value of the spirit stones in the demon capital.

For human immortal cultivators, in addition to being used as a currency for buying and selling, spirit stones can also be used to supplement the spiritual power of the body, provide a source of spiritual power for formations and magic weapons, and even have some special uses when making alchemy and talismans. Therefore, in the realm of human immortal cultivators, spirit stones are extremely precious and can be easily consumed. In the demon capital, most of the spirit stones are used as currency and will not be consumed, plus the spirit stone mines in the demon land are very rich, and even many rich mines have never been mined, so the spirit stone reserves are very rich.

Scarcity is precious, and spirit stones are no exception. In human settlements, spiritual stones are scarce, and their natural value is higher. A low-level low-grade spirit stone can buy an ordinary talisman. But in the demon land, talismans are scarce and spirit stones are abundant, so naturally the value of talismans is high, and the value of spirit stones is even lower. A low-level low-grade spirit stone, not to mention a talisman, is simply impossible to buy anything.

The low value of spirit stones has created a situation where it is necessary to double the spirit stones to exchange for magic weapons and talismans, so it seems that the price of the demon capital is ridiculously high. It is also for the same reason that the caravan was attracted to rush from the human settlement to the demon capital, sell the magic weapons, talismans and pills at a tumbling price, exchange them for high-quality spirit stones, and then bring them back to the human settlements to earn the difference and reap extremely high profits.

This carriage of 100 medium-grade spirit stones, if it was in the past, Cheng Ziming would not even think about it, because he would definitely not be able to afford it. But now he is carrying a storage bag of top-grade spirit stones in his arms, and he is naturally wealthy, and spirit stones are not a problem. His problem was that he only had the best spirit stones on his body. This directly takes out a top-grade spirit stone, will it be too public?
