Chapter 169: Trading Session
Chapter 169 Trading Meeting (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
In addition to providing low-level immortal cultivators, the mortals on Island 1 do not have to pay any spirit stone taxes, but they also have their own unique mission, the most important of which is to repair and build the huge city wall that stands on the east side of Island 1 year after year.
How big is this city wall, the jade slip also deliberately sold a pass, and did not explain in detail, but said that the monks could go and take a look. No monk who saw this for the first time would have believed that it was the work of a mortal.
This foreign maritime business alliance seems to be quite good, Zhao Di came to such a preliminary judgment after reading this classic. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to waste decades of time being sent, joining the Maritime Merchant Alliance might have been a good choice.
Zhao Di turned into a blue light and slowly flew towards the mountainside of Tailai Peak.
There are only more than ten peaks with spiritual veins on this island, but most of them are of very good quality, and the worst ones are also medium-grade spiritual veins, which can be regarded as high-grade spiritual veins.
The monks of Island No. 1 usually live in these peaks, so when it comes to the cultivation environment, this Island does not have any special advantages, and compared to some large islands in the Inner Stars, it is much worse.
Tailai Peak is where the best spiritual veins on Island No. 1 are located, and they can barely reach the spiritual energy density of the second-best spiritual veins.
In the middle of the mountainside of Taylor Peak, hundreds of pavilions and caves were built for the monks of the Yudan period who came to Island No. 1.
In Alien Xingchen, the monks of the Yudan period are already the most top-level existence, therefore, the treatment in all aspects is the best, even if Zhao Di is a first-stage monk who came to Island No. 1 for the first time, he can also choose a cave mansion of Tailai Peak and use it for free.
Zhao Di flew into an ordinary three-story platform, and he was received by a middle-aged female cultivator in the late stage of foundation building. The latter was very enthusiastic, and recommended many caves to Zhao Di, and after Zhao Di randomly selected a secluded place, he took the forbidden magic plate here, and came to the No. 1 Island Fang City at the foot of Tailai Peak Mountain.
Although this market is much smaller than the huge market of Penglai Xiandao, it is also very distinctive. In particular, the shops that specialize in selling monster-related treasures such as demon pills, demon souls, and monster materials are second to none in the Star Sea
Zhao Di walked around the market, and although he didn't find fire coral and agate leaves, he gained a lot of knowledge. There are more than ten kinds of demon beasts that he has hunted and killed, but they don't know the origin of their names, all found traces here, and after inquiring and asking, he finally understood some doorways. In addition, some relatively rare demon pills are also sold here, although the price is much more expensive than ordinary demon pills of the same level, Zhao Di still bought a few.
There was no other harvest in Fang City, and Zhao Di could only pin his hopes on the auction in half a month. He didn't stay in the city for more, and flew back to the cave to meditate and rest.
He asked Youruo to arrange a few more forbidden magic circles in the cave, and instructed the second daughter not to waste time, and also take advantage of these days to refine a few Condensing Pills.
For immortal cultivators, it was only more than ten days that could pass in the blink of an eye, and Zhao Di did not want to waste it in vain.
Three days before the auction, Zhao Di left the cave mansion and came to the second floor of the main hall of the Star Pavilion.
The jade slip explained that three days before each auction, the second floor of this Star Pavilion would be open to the monks of the Yudan period for free, for these monks to freely exchange treasures and spirit stones. Because the auction is limited by time, the number of items that can be traded is limited, and more ordinary treasures are circulated and exchanged in this free exchange.
There are also some monks, for the large number of spirit stones that may be used in the auction, will also take out some valuable treasures and exchange them for a large number of spirit stones before the auction, so as to avoid the regret of encountering their favorite treasures but not enough spirit stones at the auction.
This is all an exchange between the monks of the Yudan period, and Zhao Di naturally does not want to miss it. He had never been involved in this level of trading, so there might be some surprises.
Of course, if there is a suitable treasure, he will also buy a large number of spirit stones.
Before entering the second floor, Zhao brought a cyan mask.
This is a magic weapon he bought in the market, and its function is still to block the divine consciousness and cover the true face. According to the jade slip, most of the high-ranking monks who participated in the auction and the pre-trade fair would wear this kind of mask. After all, the value of the treasures traded on these occasions is often more than tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of spirit stones, and no one wants to expose their wealth in public with so many monks.
Zhao Di didn't come too early, in the hall of thousands of zhang on the second floor, dozens of monks had already gathered, without exception, all of them were cultivators above the Yudan stage, and there were two of them who exuded a spiritual pressure that was significantly higher than everyone else, and they were the monks in the later stage of Yudan.
In Outer Xingchen, the monks of the late stage of the Yudan are at the pinnacle of existence, and they didn't expect that this was just a small trading meeting before the auction, which attracted two monks of the late stage of the Yudan.
Among these dozens of monks, more than seventy percent wore the same cyan mask as Zhao Di, and most of the costumes were extremely ordinary, gray robes, white robes, green clothes, etc., without any logos, obviously not wanting to be recognized.
Hundreds of stone tables and chairs were arranged around the main hall, and some monks who were eager to exchange the treasures in their hands had already chosen a suitable position and placed one or more jade boxes on the stone table in front of them, some of which were opened, and some of which were closed.
More monks are looking at the treasures in these jade boxes one by one, and if they are interested, they will carefully appreciate them, and if they are interested in buying, they will put a soundproof cover with the owner of the treasure, and discuss the way and price of the transaction in a whisper.
Zhao Di also walked slowly in front of these stone tables, and among those open jade boxes, most of them were placed some raw materials for refining magic weapons, from ores, spirit woods to high-grade demon beast materials, all kinds of them. These things can only be used by monks above the knot stage, and only these people have enough treasures and spirit stones to exchange.
And those tightly closed jade boxes, all of which were carefully pasted with some forbidden talismans, were obviously storing more precious treasures. The owner of the treasure is afraid that he is afraid of damaging the aura of the treasure or for other reasons, so he is reluctant to open the jade box to show the public, but only puts it on the stone table to attract the attention of some powerful people. Those monks who were very interested in the treasures in the jade box would send a message to the seller.
After Zhao Di looked at the treasures on the two or three stone tables, he stopped at one of them, holding a large transparent crystal of fist covered with spiral bloodshot in his hand, and played with interest.
"Daoist friends have taken a fancy to this blood crystal? This is an excellent raw material for refining auxiliary magic weapons with strange effects, if it weren't for my ordinary knowledge in the way of refining, I am afraid that I will bury this high-grade material, and I will not transfer this treasure."
The owner of this treasure was a monk in the middle of the Yudan period, and he introduced the treasure in the latter's hand to Zhao Di in a very regretful tone, and the accent of his voice was probably a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties.
"It's indeed an excellent quality blood crystal, I don't know what price you want to transfer?" Zhao Di put the blood crystal back into the jade box and asked with a smile.
He also owned a piece of this blood crystal at the time, and at that time, in order to obtain the Tsukidan that was more useful to him, he exchanged it for it. Unexpectedly, after many years, he was allowed to see this treasure again.
"The price of this treasure is 12,000 spirit stones, but I most want to exchange this thing for a demon pill of the sixth-level demon beast anchovy shrimp, if you have this thing, it is naturally the best, and other sixth-level demon pills can make do as long as they are not too bad." The middle-aged man casually arranged a soundproof enclosure, and then replied softly.
The demon pills below level 5 in Fang City can still be easily bought with spirit stones, but the materials of demon pills and demon beasts at level 6 and 7 are very limited, and the prices are high and rarely come out. Once it appeared, it was often bought by well-informed cultivators in the Dan Period, so this middle-aged man preferred to exchange for a sixth-level demon pill that would be of great use to him.
"There is not a sixth-level demon pill in the lower hand" Zhao Di's answer disappointed the other party greatly, but he then took out a small storage bag, which contained more than a hundred middle-grade spirit stones, and handed it to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man glanced at the spirit stones in the storage bag with his divine sense, immediately counted the numbers, and then handed over the jade box containing the blood crystal to Zhao Di with some reluctance.
Zhao Di put the jade box into the storage bag, then said goodbye to the other party, and walked to another stone table with treasures.
There were three or four open jade boxes on this stone table, all of which were raw materials for refining magic weapons, and they were not particularly valuable, but there was a jade box with two kinds of talismans and a piece of white paper pasted on it, which attracted Zhao Di's attention.
"Yue Xiao Jue" These are three big characters written on the white paper, it seems that in this jade box, there is a book of exercises, so cautious, it must be able to cultivate to the exercises above the Yuan infant stage. Standing behind this stone table was a short and fat monk who did not wear a cyan mask, dressed in a long yellow robe, with a horizontal face, prominent eyes, round and large, quite a bit of viciousness, and the cultivation was the same as Zhao Di, all of them were monks in the early stage of Yudan.
"This fellow Daoist, this "Yue Xiao Jue" exercise is an earth-attribute exercise, right? I have shallow knowledge below, I haven't heard of this exercise, and there is also a cultivation mantra in the Yuan Infant Period, right?" Zhao Di whispered.
Since he couldn't find the follow-up exercises of the "Mixed Yuan Jue", preparing one or two sets of other top-level exercises with neat formulas would always give him the possibility of impacting the Yuan Baby. I don't know how many powerful cultivators with outstanding intelligence have modified and perfected the mantra to gradually form, Zhao Di asked himself if he had the ability to create his own cultivation method just by relying on the mantra of the first nine layers of the "Mixed Yuan Jue".
