Chapter 45 Buying and Selling Taoists
The world is full of wonders!
Since ancient times, there have been many unbelievable strange things in the mortal cultivation world of Kyushu, and naturally there are many strange characters!
And among these many bizarre characters, if you want to talk about the most famous and can often cause a sensation, then you have to mention this trader!
This eccentric Taoist is a free and loose cultivator without a sect, and has always traveled all over the world as his home, and his favorite thing in his life is to travel around Kyushu to do business, so he is called a Taoist in the cultivation world!
But if that's all it is, it's not that weird, and the really weird thing about buying and selling Taoists is the unique way he does business, which is simply unheard of and unseen!
First of all, the appearance of this Taoist is irregular, there is no fixed time and no fixed place, maybe he is still in Mingzhou in the morning, but he has already run to the East China Sea in the afternoon, and every time he appears, he only stays for half an hour, and he leaves as soon as the time comes!
Not only that, but every time he sells all kinds of fairy goods, he also has his own weird rules-
Neither let the guests see the goods first, nor bargain with the guests, but directly pack the fairy goods in the brocade box, regardless of the type or grade, all marked with the reserve price of a spirit stone, and then let everyone have the highest price!
It is worth mentioning that this brocade box is not known to be made of what kind of material, and it can actually isolate the divine consciousness of the Jindan period monks...... This means that if you don't open the brocade box, no one will know what kind of fairy goods are inside!
For example, in the previous year, someone spent 2,000 spirit stones to shoot a brocade box, and when he opened it in horror, he actually found that it was a low-grade spirit weapon, how lucky it was!
But on the contrary, some people spent tens of thousands of spirit stones to photograph the brocade box, and when they opened it with great anticipation, they found that it was only a Qi Benefiting Pill, which was worth dozens of spirit stones at most, which made him vomit blood and faint on the spot!
When Chu Bai heard this, he was already dumbfounded, and said in his heart that there were really all kinds of strange things in these years, there would be people selling things like this, and he was not afraid that those unlucky monks would come to seek revenge?
"That's right! There really are people who come to seek revenge!" Zhao Fatzi sneered, but said with a strange face: "But none of the monks who went to seek revenge on the Daoist ever reappeared......"
In fact, there were several major sects that wanted to join forces to rob and buy and sell Taoists, but even the sects disappeared...... Therefore, many people deduce that this trader is a Jindan stage cultivator, and there are even rumors that this trader is a monk of the upper three realms who likes to play the world in the mortal realm.
Because of this, the monks of the mortal realm have a love and hatred for this traderβthe love is that if you buy a brocade box from him, you may make a lot of money, and the hatred is that if you are unlucky, you may lose everything!
But even so, there are still many people who want to get something for nothing in this world, so at this moment, seeing the trader suddenly appear in Langyafang City, hundreds of monks immediately flocked to it!
Chu Bai didn't have the idea of getting rich, and he knew that his luck had never been very good, but when he saw such an interesting thing, he still couldn't help that curiosity, and squeezed into the crowd with Zhao Fatzi.
But in the open space surrounded by hundreds of monks, there was an old man in a green robe sitting cross-legged under the cloth banner, drinking wine leisurely, even if there was such a noisy noise around him, he was still half drunk and half awake.
The old man was about seventy years old, with a long silver-white beard almost hanging down to his abdomen, a green robe full of patches, and ten black brocade boxes in front of him, which looked quite inconspicuous.
Seeing that everyone had already gathered around, he burped casually, and then said with a red smile: "Everyone, since you are here, it is fate...... The old man doesn't say much, you naturally understand the rules!"
Saying this, he pushed the ten brocade boxes forward, stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "Today, only these ten brocade boxes are sold, and the reserve price of each box is a spirit stone, as for what you can buy, it depends on your fate!"
He couldn't wait for a long time, and before the Daoist could finish speaking, a white-faced monk preemptively spoke: "Five hundred spirit stones! I will produce five hundred spirit stones!"
Hearing that he had brought five hundred spirit stones for the first time, everyone couldn't help but curse in unison, but the anger turned into annoyance, and some monks immediately raised the price and said, "Five hundred dare to take it out, I'll give five hundred and fifty!"
Damn! Everyone couldn't help but roll their eyes in unison, and Zhao Fatzi suddenly said angrily: "What five hundred or six hundred! Why do you want seven hundred spirit stones...... First of all, I'm not for the brocade box, but purely admire the style of my predecessors!"
These words were clearly hugging his thighs, but it was a pity that Zhao Fatzi said so, but the green light in Xiao Xiao's eyes was about to rise three feet high, Chu Bai couldn't help muttering: "Dead fatty, you really dare to make a price, aren't you afraid of losing the bet?"
"Wealth is in the sky! life and death are fate!What is there to be afraid of!" Zhao Fatzi wiped his saliva with confidence, but narrowed his eyes again and said, "It's Lao Chu, do you want to take a picture of a brocade box, maybe your refining technique is in the brocade box!"
"Thank you! My luck has never been good!" Chu Bai patted the little fruit in his arms, shook his head honestly, and said, "Instead of counting on that kind of luck, I am still willing to rely on my own hands, at least I don't have to be frightened!"
But he didn't plan to bid, but it didn't mean that everyone didn't have this interest, so in just a moment, everyone had already raised the price noisily, refused to give in to each other, and fought for each other, and shouted three thousand spirit stones in less than half a day!
Three thousand spirit stones! This price is not too high, looking at the black brocade box, finally many people retreated, so in the strange silence, the white-faced monk who bid first got the brocade box with a smile on his face.
Half excited and half nervous, after he paid the spirit stone and got the brocade box, he suddenly broke out with cold sweat on his forehead, and he trembled for a long time and didn't dare to open the brocade box.
The surrounding monks couldn't hold it back for a long time, and immediately urged him again and again, and some people couldn't help but scold: "Hurry up! Hurry up! Don't be like a girl, don't you dare to open it after buying it?"
Urged to blush, the white-faced monk gritted his teeth vigorously, simply closed his eyes directly, and opened the brocade box with his heart!
In an instant, he heard an exclamation all around, and when he opened his eyes again, he suddenly laughed with a distorted madness on his face: "Great luck! Great luck! It is actually a high-grade magic weapon, and this Daoist master is really ...... today."
Envy, jealousy, jealousy, and hatred! Everyone around couldn't help but stretch their necks, looking at the red flying fish flag shining with red light in the box, and couldn't help but breathe fire in both eyes - this red flying fish flag, at a glance, you know that it is the best product in the high-grade magic weapon, how can it be worth eight thousand spirit stones on the market, and it was actually obtained by this kid with three thousand spirit stones!
The Daoist also smiled slightly, and arched his hand towards the white-faced monk: "Congratulations to fellow Daoists! Everyone, the old man still has nine brocade boxes here, if you think you are lucky enough, you might as well give it a try!"
Where do you need him to say anything, he was stimulated by the white-faced monk to lose his mind, and everyone suddenly raised the price with a flushed face, but this time it was directly carried to five thousand spirit stones, until Zhao Fatzi finally couldn't bear to shout: "Six thousand!
Crazy! Chu Bai couldn't help but look at the sky speechlessly, and said in his heart, this dead fat man has slaughtered so many fat sheep in a year, and he may not be able to earn six thousand spirit stones, and now he is such a loser?
In an instant, Zhao Fatzi had already rushed forward arrogantly, and picked up the brocade box as if he was holding a treasure, this time he learned the lesson of the white-faced monk, and he didn't wait for everyone to urge, and immediately opened it directly!
It's just that at this glance, Zhao Fatzi, who was originally full of red light, suddenly trembled like a quail, and his whole face became pale and bloodless in an instant!
Thinking about it with his knees, he knew that he had lost the bet! Chu Bai poked his head over and glanced at it, and suddenly said with a strange face: "Old Zhao, since when did you become interested in collecting the jewelry of the female cultivator?"
In fact, the magic weapon placed in the brocade box is the white jade bracelet worn by those female cultivators, but the problem is that although this white jade bracelet is beautifully made, the spiritual power emitted is extremely thin, and it is obviously just a low-grade magic weapon.
Tears streaming down his face! Seeing the entire six thousand spirit stones flying away like this, Zhao Fatzi even had the heart to die on the ground!
But his pale face trembled for a moment, he suddenly turned his head to look at Chu Bai, and said with a smile on his face: "Lao Bai! You see that Xiaoguo is also gradually growing up, what kind of love token will you give her in the future...... This white jade bracelet is so beautifully made, why don't I sell it to ...... with six thousand spirit stones."
"Get out!" Chu Bai flew up directly and kicked this unscrupulous fat man out, and said in his heart, are you crazy or am I crazy, such a broken bracelet costs me six thousand spirit stones...... Baby bottles and red bean cakes are love tokens!
At the same time, while the two of them were still grinding their teeth, the trader had already sold a few brocade boxes. probably saw the fate of Zhao Fatzi, but the bidding after that was much more reasonable, and often no one added it after four thousand spirit stones.
As for the few people who bought the box, their luck was naturally good and bad, some people prescribed high-grade pills, some people prescribed low-grade materials, and some people didn't know whether they were lucky or unlucky, and they actually opened a low-grade spiritual weapon...... But the problem is that this artifact can only be used by women!
And after going through this setback, there was only the last brocade box left by the trader, and everyone was even hotter in their eyes, and immediately someone directly shouted: "Two thousand spirit stones! I will give two thousand spirit stones!"
How can you let this last brocade box be bought, someone has already shouted three thousand spirit stones, but Zhao Fatzi finally came to his senses now, pulled the corner of Chu Bai's clothes and said: "Lao Bai, you really don't plan to give it a try, you must know that there is no such ...... in this village."
Before the words fell, a burst of giggling was suddenly heard in the crowd, and then a coquettish voice sounded softly: "But the slave family is late!"
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
The trader took out ten brocade boxes: Everyone, there are good things in this, a recommendation ticket at the bottom price, and whoever wants to try his luck will take out the recommendation ticket.
