Chapter 132: The Green Calyx Crossbow
The stall owner is a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance, and he has ten layers of condensation. At this moment, in his right hand he held a small bow and crossbow with a whole emerald color, arguing with the thin monk opposite him with a dissatisfied expression.
"What, what? In the early stage of Qi Condensation, a monk can exert the power of the tenth layer of Qi Condensation with such a small bow and crossbow? Is it so exaggerated? If the spirit tools are so powerful, then what are we and other monks still working hard for!" Before the thin monk could answer, a slightly chubby young man who arrived at about the same time as Lin Quan couldn't help but scream out strangely.
"Eh, Brother Yu, you don't know something. A middle-aged Confucian who came with the chubby young man suddenly smiled and said, "This kind of thing is a special immortal cultivation treasure handed down from the ancient monk period, and its power depends entirely on the level of the spirit tool itself. It has nothing to do with the user's own cultivation. However, no matter how powerful the spirit apparatus is, it is only a foreign object, and if we blindly pursue external objects and ignore our own cultivation, it will be extremely disadvantageous for our monks. So the two must not be confused. ”
"I see, the little brother has been taught!" Brother Yu's expression was solemn after hearing this, and he secretly scolded himself for being confused. Then he continued to ask very curiously: "By the way, Brother Yi, since the power of this spirit tool depends entirely on its own level, then I don't know how many levels this spirit tool can be divided into? What is the geometry of their respective powers? Could it be that the 'four stars' just now refers to the grouping of spirit tools?"
"Well, because the spirit tool has basically disappeared in today's immortal cultivation world, Yi Mou also has a limited understanding of this. However, according to the introduction of the classics, spiritual tools can be roughly divided into four levels: the first order, the second order, the third order and the fourth order. Its power is equivalent to the full force of the Great Perfection of the Qi Condensation Period, the Condensation Liquid, the Ning Dan and the Early Yuan Infant Cultivators, respectively. As for the 'four-star' statement, Yi is not too clear. Yi Daoyou first glanced at the middle-aged stall owner with a slight apology, and only after seeing that he was not dissatisfied did he roughly tell what he knew.
Although the middle-aged Confucian surnamed Yi has only cultivated to the ninth layer of condensing qi, his insight is indeed extraordinary. In just a few words, the classification of the spirit equipment was roughly explained. Even with Lin Quan's knowledge, he couldn't find any major faults.
"Yes, this Yi Daoist friend is really insightful! Qin admired. As for the star classification of spiritual tools, it is still very easy to understand. Each level of spiritual equipment can be divided into four levels according to the sophistication of refining, the lowest is 'one star', and the highest is of course 'four stars'. ”
"The only pity is that since the refining method of the spirit tool has long been lost, there is not much left in the current immortal cultivation world. The interjection of Brother Yu and the middle-aged Confucian also saved the stall owner surnamed Qin a lot of tongues, he first sighed, and then continued without a show: "Although this 'Green Calyx Crossbow' in the lower hand is only a first-order spiritual tool, it is after all the 'four-star' level with the best attributes in the same level. It is still very useful when it is critical. Can you imagine what would happen when two people with comparable cultivation fought each other until their spiritual power was exhausted, and one of them suddenly relied on this crossbow to exert a blow equivalent to the full strength of a tenth-layer cultivator of Qi Condensation?"
"Wonderful! At that time, even if the other party turned out to be a condensate stage monk, he would definitely be dead or alive. Brother Yu immediately clapped his hands excitedly and laughed.
"Yes, if you can use this crossbow at a critical time, it will indeed have a miraculous effect!" After being mentioned by the stall owner surnamed Qin, many onlookers also echoed their words. So much so that the eyes that stared at the green calyx crossbow all burst out with a hint of greed.
"Hey, I really didn't see it, this middle-aged stall owner surnamed Qin seems to be loyal and honest, but I didn't expect it to be a bad stomach!" Lin Quan was silent on the surface, but in his heart, he secretly despised this profiteer.
The analogy that the stall owner surnamed Qin made just now seems to be good at first glance. In reality, however, there is simply no such thing as he suggests. Even if a condensation stage monk is exhausted, he must have a variety of back hands left, how could he be successfully picked up by a small condensation stage monk relying on a first-order spirit tool.
At this time, the thin monk finally couldn't help but snort coldly, and said with a look of disdain on his face: "The two of you have indeed talked about all the benefits of the spirit tools. But you seem to have deliberately ignored its drawbacks, right? Imagine if this 'Green Calyx Crossbow' was really as good as you imagined, if it had been sold long ago, how could it be our turn?"
"Huh, the disadvantages of the spirit equipment?"
"Could it be that there are still any shortcomings in the spirit tool that are difficult to make up?"
"That's right, since the spirit tool is so powerful, Qin Daoyou, how could you be willing to sell it?"
"This Taoist friend understands so well, why don't you tell you about it first. ”
............
Suddenly, one stone stirred up a thousand waves.
The thin monk only mentioned the beginning, and all the monks came to their senses. Some of them began to whisper to their friends, others looked at the thin monk curiously, and some of the ill-tempered ones even stared angrily at the middle-aged stall owner.
The vast majority of people present are at least in the late stage of Qi Condensation, and immortal cultivators who can reach this realm will definitely not be real fools, they can understand with just a little thought that any item has both good and bad aspects. The middle-aged stall owner only picked the good from the beginning, but did not mention the disadvantages and shortcomings. This is obviously very problematic.
"Fellow Daoists, don't be careful, although the spiritual tool also has some small shortcomings, but compared to its advantages, it is ......" Under the anger of the crowd, the middle-aged stall owner's words that he wanted to do something to remedy were immediately interrupted.
Finally, with the unanimous support of the majority, all were willing to listen to what the thin monk had to say.
Since you fellow Daoists are so fond of you, let's talk about it briefly. ”
"First of all, I don't deny that spiritual tools were indeed very strong and practical during the ancient monk period. However, in today's immortal cultivation world, it has three major drawbacks. The thin monk proudly bowed his hand to everyone before he explained slowly: "First of all, the spirit tool is extremely easy to damage, and its refining method has long been lost, so once all the existing spirit tools are damaged, they cannot be repaired at all. Secondly, the reason why the spirit tool can exert great power is because every time it is used, it is at the cost of consuming spirit stones. And the higher the level of the spirit applement, the number of spirit stones consumed is not the same as the level. Third, the attacks of the spirit equipment are all straightforward, and once they are issued, they are a hammer deal. It's not like a magic weapon at all, which can use spiritual sense and spiritual power to carry out continuous control. In this way, as long as the opponent is on guard, he will never be hurt at all. Think about it, if there are so many deficiencies in the spiritual possession, will you still treat it as a treasure?"
The skinny monk's familiarity with spiritual tools was truly extraordinary. This is all unknown to ordinary monks, and he knows all the news. Even Lin Quan, who has some classics, can't find the slightest flaw. The middle-aged stall owner was even more speechless, and could only stand aside with a black face.
"So that's the case, I don't know how many spirit stones this spirit tool needs to consume at one time, if it's too much, it's really not a good idea. After listening to the thin monk's words, the first thing that a considerable number of monks considered was the consumption of spirit stones, after all, the monks in the condensation period would not be too rich.
"Yes, this Qin Daoyou. Dare to ask you how many spirit stones do you need to consume with a full blow of the 'Green Calyx Bow'?" Although they basically believed in the judgment of the thin monk, the main lord was right in front of them, and they would not give up completely if they did not ask about it.
"The green calyx can install a total of six low-grade spirit stones at a time, and ordinary attacks consume one spirit stone ten times, and if you attack with all your strength, you will consume at least one spirit stone at a time. The stall owner surnamed Qin knew that he couldn't hide this matter, so he reported the truth very happily. As he spoke, he also cooperatively raised the green calyx crossbow in his hand, and took the initiative to open a hidden slot at the handle to install spirit stones.
"One spirit stone at a time, this is too much money!"
"That's it, it's just that after five all-out attacks, it takes time to replace the spirit stone, which is too troublesome! ”
"Forget it, Brother Yu, let's go. It's better to buy this thing than to save up money to get a top-notch magic weapon. ”
After learning the true situation, the onlookers had already walked away in a blink of an eye. Everyone has a detailed account in their hearts, and everyone wants to take advantage of it, but if it is a loss, of course no one wants to do it.
"Alright, you all know about this green calyx. The minimum is eight hundred spirit stones, whoever wants them will take them!" The monk surnamed Qin had a look of loneliness in his eyes, and took the initiative to reduce the price by two hundred. He didn't have any other ideas now, he just wanted to sell this money-burning thing as soon as possible.
"I'll buy three hundred spirit stones. ”
"How about I give out two hundred spirit stones plus an intermediate magic weapon?"
..................
"Don't even think about it, my green calyx crossbow is not inferior to a high-grade magic weapon, even if it has any drawbacks!"
The stall owner surnamed Qin's initiative to reduce the price suddenly made some people who didn't want to buy it have a different mind. They are quoting one after another, hoping to take the opportunity to pick up the leak. However, the monk surnamed Qin is not a confused person, and both sides are determined to the bottom line and do not give in to each other.
