Chapter Ninety-Eight: Suppressing People with Wealth
Spirit stones are the common currency of the immortal cultivation world, and they are also the standard for measuring most items, especially spiritual objects. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere are many things in the immortal cultivation world, and many of them are based on spirit stones.
Taking a small tribe like the Shiniu tribe as an example, the offerings to be handed over every two years are about five hundred spirit stones. These five hundred spirit stones almost include twenty hundred-year-old fire elixirs, spirit ores and demon beast materials of similar value. Like the small jade ginseng that Mo En took before, it was only worth a dozen spirit stones. At the beginning, Huang Pingshan opened his mouth to blackmail Elder Mo Feng with fifty spirit stones, which was almost a percent of the offerings. This is also the share of the bribe that each envoy can get almost enough, so Mo Feng wanted to agree after hesitating.
As for the Huang family in Huang Xinyuan's hands, from the dozens of tribes they mastered, they could almost receive more than 100,000 spirit stones every two years. After all, the Shiniu tribe is only a small tribe, and some large tribes need to hand over more offerings than the Shiniu tribe. If you add the income obtained from other channels, Huang Xinyuan's group can have an income of more than 200,000 spirit stones almost every two years, and on average, it is about 100,000 spirit stones per year. Converted into high-grade spirit stones, calculated according to the difference in value between first-class spirit stones by a hundred times, that is, ten pieces.
In fact, this is also the reason why Jin Ming offered a price of one hundred high-grade spirit stones before, and Huang Xinyuan directly avoided it. Ten years of normal income in order to kill a Morn would not make an easy decision for anyone. Of course, the data of 100,000 is only on the surface, the Huang family must have a lot of gray income, and one hundred high-grade spirit stones may not need Huang Xinyuan to accumulate for ten years, but even so, this will not be a small number for Huang Xinyuan.
For monks, the value of spirit stones is basically stable, so the value of many items can be measured. However, there are some things that are difficult for monks to measure with spirit stones. Therefore, it is normal for monks to sell the same item for two large prices when they are trading. And among the items that appear in this situation the most, the largest category is the exercises.
The importance of the Dharma texts to the monks is self-evident. A powerful and appropriate technique can completely create a high-level monk. Therefore, the value of higher-order exercises is immeasurable. The exercises that can be taken out and traded are basically below the prefecture level, and every prefecture-level exercise sold will create a price miracle. Before, because Wu Ming heard the name of the Qingshen Dan Fire Technique, he decided to follow Yunlan to rob and kill Lu Qianming, which is an example of the amazing value of the exercises.
However, the exercise has a characteristic that other monk commodities do not have, that is, it can be transcribed, reproduced, and disseminated. For a magic weapon or elixir, others not only need precious materials, but also need formulas, and there is also the problem of success rate. The cost of imitation may be much higher than that of buying. But in most cases, the cost of copying a set of exercises is negligible, and the value of these large-scale copied exercises is difficult to define, so the value of the exercises is the most confusing, and the price of the transaction fluctuates the most.
Of course, when some monks sell the exercises, they can use special means to prevent buyers from copying them, and even limit the number of times they can read them, so as to ensure that the exercises are not leaked, but this situation generally only occurs in the trading of prefecture-level exercises or classics. Most of the classics below the Xuan level are extremely chaotic.
But no matter how confusing, these texts still have an approximate price in the minds of the monks. For example, Xuan-level cultivation exercises can generally be sold for more than 10,000 spirit stones. After all, for a casual cultivator who has no power to rely on, a suitable cultivation technique is a necessity for building a foundation for oneself to advance and even continue to climb upward. However, the value of other classics that are also assessed as Xuan level will be reduced by five to ten times, that is, between more than one thousand and more than two thousand. After all, these things are just auxiliary, and they are not worth the cost.
In fact, these texts rarely even fetch this shrunken price. Because even if someone really wants to learn, they will choose to choose this kind of classic book to study within the sect. For Morn, for example, donating spirit stones to the temple in exchange for contribution points, and then in exchange for the opportunity to copy the classics, is many times more cost-effective than this. So when Mo En shouted out three thousand, Liang Shi was a little dumbfounded. When Morn shouted out the high price of 5,000, everyone looked at Morn as if they were looking at the 'wronged boss' and the 'nouveau riche'.
"Nouveau riche!" Looking at Mo En with a provocative face, Huang Pingyun hesitated, did not dare to continue to raise the price, but just used his mouth to show his contempt for Mo En, and then turned his face away. Five thousand spirit stones is no longer a small number for Huang Pingyun. Even if Huang Xinyuan valued him again, the spirit stones he could give him were quite limited. In Huang Xinyuan's absence, it was not worth it for Huang Pingyun to take such a big risk for a book that was basically useless to him.
"Senior Brother Mo, this is a bit too much, isn't it?" After Mo En handed over the spirit stone to the waiter and got this Imperial Land Spirit Rune Sutra, Liang Shi smacked his lips and said with some emotion. Although Liang Shi was worth a lot of money, and five thousand spirit stones were not a particularly large amount for him, he was still slightly distressed when he saw Mo En doing this.
"Hehe, this classic book is not in the Scripture Pavilion, so I bought it in a moment of excitement. Morn roughly flipped through the book, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and replied happily. I don't care about the strange eyes around me.
Legend has it that the Chaos Five Elements Technique is the treasure of the Chaos Five Elements Sect, the first major sect in ancient times, and it can even surpass the heaven-level exercises, but it only fell later that the grade fell. At the beginning, the countless exercises of the Five Elements Sect were mostly derived from the Chaos Five Elements Formula, and the introduction of this Imperial Earth Spirit Rune Sutra said that it was transmitted from the Five Elements Sect, and it should be related to the Chaos Five Elements Recipe. It should be of great help to Mo En, you cultivate the Five Elements of Chaos, right?" Ancient Song, who had not spoken, suddenly asked.
"Elder Mingjian, the disciple does have this idea. But whether it can be done or not is still a matter of two things, I just have a thought. Morn replied respectfully.
In fact, when he saw the introduction and talisman demonstrated by Sun Shan, Mo En discovered the connection between the Imperial Earth Spirit Rune Sutra and the Thick Earth Essence Spiritual Recipe that he had cultivated, and the two should come from the same source. And among the five elements of chaos that Mo En cultivated, in addition to the general outline of the Chaos Decision, the Thick Earth Essence Recipe was the most important, and it was also the one that Morn understood most thoroughly, and the other Aoki Cultivation Soul Recipes, Xuanshui Moisturizing Soul Recipes, True Fire Refining Soul Recipes, and Sharp Gold Quenching Soul Recipes were all worse. If the Imperial Earth Spirit Rune Sutra can help Mo En deepen his understanding of the Thick Earth Essence Spiritual Formula, and even complete some Thick Earth Essence Spiritual Formula, then Mo En will make a lot of money this time.
"I see. Senior Brother Mo is so calculating, I am clumsy this time. A gleam flashed in Liang Shi's eyes, and then he said with a smile: "Huang Pingyun At this time, I'm afraid that my intestines are all repentant, right?"
Although he didn't hear the conversation between the three of them clearly, Huang Pingyun, who had been paying attention to this, saw that Mo En and the three of them were all smiling, and Liang Shi even faced ridicule at himself, obviously understood something, and his expression became even more ugly.
In the process of chatting with a few people, two more things were sold, although Mo En became a 'nouveau riche', but this kind of thing is not uncommon in the auction hall, five thousand spirit stones are not too large for the foundation building monks and the chief of the big clan, it is not worth paying too much attention to, and it will not affect the auction because of this.
As the auction continued, the atmosphere in the hall slowly began to heat up. The emergence of some fine products also made the foundation building monks begin to join the ranks of competition. Mo En also made a few shots in the process, but every time Mo En made a shot, he was blocked by Huang Pingyun. As soon as Mo En made a bid, Huang Pingyun immediately raised the price. But these few times, Morn has stopped at a superficial level, or gave up after raising the price slightly. If it weren't for the fact that the value of these things was not too high, and some items were still bidding for others, I'm afraid that just these few times would be enough to make Huang Pingyun bankrupt. Even so, Huang Pingyun also spent three or four thousand spirit stones to buy some things that he didn't use very well, and his face became more and more ugly.
"The top-grade flying sword Huangjing Sword has a tough texture, has a huge amplification effect on the mana of the earth system, and has a special function, which needs to be experienced by the buyer himself. The reserve price is 6,000, please bid if necessary. After several pieces of spiritual materials were sold in a row, Sun Shan raised a dark yellow flying sword and introduced with a smile.
"Eight thousand!" As soon as Sun Shan's words fell, Mo En shouted directly, and at the same time, he still looked at Huang Pingyun with a provocative expression. The price of the magic weapon flying sword is generally relatively stable, and the fluctuation range is not too large. The price offered by Mohn is more pertinent.
"Nine thousand!" Almost without any hesitation, Huang Pingyun began to raise the price. Although Mo En has both five elements of mana, what he is best at is definitely earth-based mana. This time, Huang Pingyun also knew that Mo En was going to buy a magic weapon to fight against Jin Ming, so he did not hesitate to start raising the price.
"Ten thousand. Morn shouted again with no change in his face. This price is already a bit inflated. Even the most sought-after gold-based flying swords are difficult to get at this price.
"Ten in one. Huang Pingyun hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth again and shouted. Although the price is already very high, Huang Pingyun still doesn't want Mo En to get it.
"Ten thousand twelve. Mo En still looked at Huang Pingyun defiantly, and shouted indifferently. For Moen, it doesn't matter whether Huang Pingyun adds a price increase or not. Huang Pingyun gave up and bought a flying sword by himself. And Huang Pingyun continued, just pit him once. When two people whose wealth is not on the same level gamble, the winning rate of the rich person is naturally much greater.
"Ten thousand. Huang Pingyun glanced at Huang Jingjian, gritted his teeth and shouted. Huang Pingyun also looked at the previous magic weapon catalog and knew that there was only this one earth-based magic weapon, so this was an imperative for Mo En. If you shout it once, Morn will break the fortune one more time.
However, when Huang Pingyun finished shouting the price and looked at Mo En again, he found that Mo En had already turned his head and had no intention of bidding again.
"Okay, 13,000 deals. Sun Shan smiled slightly, handed the yellow crystal sword to the waiter, and took out another shield. "The Xuantie Shield, refined Xuantie is refined, has no special abilities, but the defense is amazing, the reserve price is six thousand, please bid if you need it. ”
"Ten thousand. After Mo En finished shouting, he turned his head to look at Huang Pingyun and said with his mouth: "Are you still coming?"
Huang Pingyun's face changed for a long time, and finally covered his chest, spat out a mouthful of blood, turned his head, and never looked at Morn again.
