In an unknown fairyland, Senior Sister Qiuli, who had completed the treasure appraisal and accidentally gained the ability to control fire, was playing with the flames that kept changing their shapes in her hands like a child.
She sat in a very feminine posture, leaning back in her chair, and admonished the round-faced junior sister in front of her:
"You, contact that person immediately and make sure to win him over. I know you haven't found a good customer in the past few years and have been unable to become a formal member of the club.
This time is your chance, Xiaoyaer.
But don't make this matter public, so as not to attract other people's covetousness. I will go to inform the senior sister right away and designate him as your exclusive guest. From now on, you will be the one to deal with him specifically.
Also, do me a favor.
Xiao Yaer, ask him if he has any precious ash medicine specially made for body cultivators."
"Ah, I see."
The round-faced junior sister suppressed her joy and first bowed to thank the senior sister who had been taking care of her, and then said:
"Senior sister, are you looking for treasure for your brother?"
"yes."
The senior sister wiped the sweat from her forehead. With a look of worry as an elder sister, she raised her hand charmingly and looked at the flying flame in her hand.
In the worried tone of the eldest sister, she said:
"My little brother has a bad temper and he refuses to follow me into Tongtianfang to practice. He says he wants to make a name for himself and keeps hanging around in his hometown.
Now that his parents are gone, an elder sister is like a mother, so I have to think more about him."
"I can understand your brother. After all, he and I are Taoist companions, and he often talks to me about personal matters."
Junior Sister Xiao Yaer also sighed at this moment, looked at the fairyland scenery outside the window, and whispered:
"If a cultivator has any aspirations, unless he is really desperate, who would come to our Tongtianfang? Caishen Mountain, wow, it sounds very famous.
But dealing with immortal money all day long is really meaningless.
But senior sister, you are really good to your brother.
I heard people say before that in order to find a way out for your brother, you agreed to practice dual cultivation with that pretty boy Fang Qingyun from Kunlun Sect and become a Taoist partner. But that guy had bad intentions and even drugged you.
Fortunately, the senior sister stopped me.
I heard that Fang Qingyun is not a good guy. He just likes your body, senior sister.
Pooh.
It's really despicable!"
"well."
Senior Sister Qiuli sighed and said:
"It's not just for my brother. It's just that our life in Aquarius Mountain is too boring. I was careless for a moment and almost got cheated by a playboy.
Forget it, let’s not talk about this anymore. Xiaoyaer, go and do your work.
I remembered that you haven't been out of the mountain for many years. When you officially join the sect, I will take you to the foot of the mountain for a good meal."
"Oh well."
The round-faced Xiao Yaer chuckled, turned around and was about to leave. After taking a step, she turned back and asked:
"Senior Sister, this precious ash medicine can give people supernatural powers. It is indeed a rare item. How should we price it?"
"Well, this."
Senior Sister Qiuli, the treasure appraiser, was also a little hesitant at this moment.
She looked at the fire burning in her palm, thought carefully, felt, and said:
“Like I said just now, I was lucky to get the Desire|Fire Divine Power, and it is unstable and weak, so I need time to adapt and practice.
After all, it is not as powerful as the supernatural powers cultivated through orthodox techniques.
But it is simple and easy to use.
As long as you burn the precious medicine and endure the pain, you can get one out of thin air .
Fortunately, that person followed the path of our Hongyan Society. If it was brought out openly, it would definitely cause an uproar in the cultivation world.
Just like when the strange fire world of the Sword Casting Manor was born, it alarmed most of the cultivation world, and all kinds of old monsters jumped out to get a piece of the pie.
That person must be a smart person, Xiao Yaer, you have to deal with him carefully.
However, it is really difficult to put a price on such rare treasures.
I still remember that at the last Hongyan Treasure Gathering, there was a 500-year-old purple-yellow essence, which, after taking it, could give cultivators a slight spiritual power, and it attracted quite a few cultivator guests to scramble for it.
The final price was two hundred full-level immortal coins.
Converted into the commonly used ten-degree immortal coins, it would be 20,000 pieces.
Using this precious medicine tests one's luck too much, and the magical effects obtained are far inferior to those obtained by taking the harmless purple and yellow essence. The quality of these magical powers is also far less precious than the magical power of absorbing spirits.
I'll set the price for him at less than 6,000 yuan so that I can lower the price a bit and ask him more questions at the same time.
Are there grades of Ash Elixir? And then adjust the price appropriately.
You have already learned this, so I don’t need to teach you.”
"Uh-huh."
Junior Sister Xiao Yaer nodded repeatedly and asked:
“Then how should we rank this guest?
If he has more precious medicines on hand and can get new precious medicines continuously, shouldn't he be given a VIP rank of Earth Level?"
“It’s too low.”
Senior Sister Qiuli shook her head and said:
“Divine powers are difficult to cultivate, and even more difficult to obtain.
If he could really produce enough precious ash medicine, he would be a guest of honor in any sect, and in an inferior sect, it would be easy for him to get the position of an elder.
He must have had concerns, as the origin of this precious medicine might not be known to the public.
But it doesn’t matter, we Hongyan won’t ask these questions.
You should go and test his background first.
I went to inform the senior sister. According to my expectation, this person has a unique business and can at least get a VIP rank of Tianzi C, but I have to make an agreement with him.
Apart from him and the people around him using it themselves, this precious medicine can only be given to us in the Hongyan Society!
If he is found to be selling on a large scale to other companies and trying to do business on both ends, then his head will be included in the Blood Killing Palace's bounty list!"
Senior Sister Qiuli narrowed her eyes.
There flashed a gleam of light in those beautiful autumn eyes that made Junior Sister Xiao Yaer tremble with fear.
Bloody Palace.
The top ten sects among the thirty-three sects of the Immortal Alliance are quite low-key, and their main business is also very single. They are a killer sect officially licensed by the Immortal Alliance.
It is also a very ethical killer sect, with no record of failed missions in the past.
Therefore, once a cultivator is on the Blood Killing Palace's bounty list, he can basically prepare for his funeral. The Hongyan Society, a secret organization, is also a regular customer of the Blood Killing Palace.
It is quite a pleasure for both parties to cooperate.
The round-faced junior sister is, after all, an exploratory member of the Hongyan Society and has never seen the real world. She has heard that the sect elders were really bored staying in the Baoping Mountain Sect in Tongtianfang, so they set up the Hongyan Society, a secret society.
I've also heard those bloody rumors.
But this was the first time I was involved in this. My heart was pounding. I said goodbye to my senior sister and returned to my room.
She calmed her mind and picked up the communication stone.
This time, the tone was much gentler.
"Hello? Are you still there? The identification results are out."
——
"What? Three thousand immortal coins?"
Jiang Xia held the communication stone in his hand, frowned, and said:
"It's too cheap. I think you are trying to rip me off. I am also a cultivator, and I know how precious magical powers are. I won't accept this price."
To be honest, Jiang Xia actually doesn't have a clear understanding of the purchasing power of immortal money yet.
He could only use the goods he was most familiar with for comparison: three thousand immortal coins = eighteen thousand spirit stones = three hundred bottles of spirit gathering pills = all the income from Ruyifang's three years of selling spirit stones.
With the efficiency of Sanquezi Ma Tishu in refining pills, three hundred bottles of Gathering Spirit Pills would be enough for that Cunzhen monk to work non-stop for nearly half a year.
If all three hundred bottles of Spirit Gathering Pills were consumed, they would be enough for him to break through to the Qi Training Stage.
You might even choke yourself to death easily.
From this perspective, the purchasing power of immortal money is actually quite good. After all, every injection of refined spiritual energy requires low-level human cultivators to spend time purifying the spiritual energy.
This is equivalent to taking other people's time and saving your own time.
After some calculations, he was slightly satisfied with the price. After all, there were plenty of ashes in the Red Moon World, and apart from the risk of being discovered, there was almost no cost.
But out of businessman's instinct, he still chose to continue bargaining.
"Your precious ash medicine is indeed effective, but it is not as powerful as real magical power."
Xiao Yaer simply stopped pretending this time and retorted in her true tone:
"According to the evaluation of the treasure appraisers in our association, that magical power must be selected from several options each time, which is too much of a test of luck. It's not bad to get a magical power that works well.
If you obtain a useless magical power, it will hinder your practice.
Dear guest, you should know that not everyone is lucky.
What's more, the magical powers created by the ashes elixir are still weakened. Even if you get them, you still have to spend a lot of time to adapt and practice. They are not as handy as the magical powers that are truly cultivated.
We cannot judge it by the price of the natural treasures that represent true magical powers.
We at Hongyan Club value credibility.
It is also ethical.
Three thousand fairy coins in exchange for a precious medicine.
The price is very fair.”
"Wait a minute! Don't hang up."
Jiang Xia put the communication stone in his left hand aside, and took out the communication stone of Ma Tishu from his pocket. After injecting spiritual energy into it and connecting it, he smiled and said hello.
The third bird, Ma Tishu, is not resting at this moment. He is a real cultivator who stays up late to practice Taoism.
"Master Ma, are the pills I ordered ready?"
Jiang Xia first exchanged some pleasantries, and Ma Tishu was quite frank.
"It takes time to start the furnace and refine the elixir, my friend. I have tried my best to speed it up."
Martyrs said in a gentle tone:
"This batch of pills will be ready in three days. I also used my old face to raise some more pills from my friends. You must prepare the immortal money."
"No problem, Master Ma, I won't let you lose money."
Jiang Xia glanced at the communication stone next to him and asked:
"Master Ma, I have something to ask you.
You have been practicing for a long time and have seen a lot, but have you ever heard of rumors in the practice world about the prices of those natural treasures that can bring supernatural powers to cultivators, or the prices of the skills?"
"Why are you asking that?"
Ma Tishu was a little confused. Jiang Xia, a half-cultivator who had not even reached the Qi training stage, actually started to think about supernatural powers. He was indeed a young man and he dared to think big.
But monk Ma has a good character and is very patient. He stayed up late to cultivate himself. When he had nothing to do, he told Jiang Xia a story. He said:
“Those things are very rare.
Every time it is born, it will cause darkness in the sky and on the earth. Not to mention the natural treasures, our Fengming country is short of spiritual energy, so it is impossible for it to have any.
However, I have heard of some techniques that can help one develop supernatural powers.
About three thousand miles away, in Wuling Country, more than ten years ago, a volume of techniques for cultivating the realm of truth that could develop the supernatural power of black sand Gangqi was sold.
In the end, it was bought by the big sect there, the Buddhist Zhuanlun Sect, on the condition that the seller would be admitted into the sect. It is said that they also spent an additional 5,000 immortal coins. "
"Understood. Thank you, Master Ma."
Jiang Xia said happily:
"Next time you have time, please discuss the Dao with me. I have something good to show you, so please don't refuse."
Like a long phone call.
Lao Jiang and Lao Ma chatted for a few words and then lost contact.
He leisurely picked up the communication stone on the other side and snapped his fingers.
explain:
"Did you hear that?"
"I thought you were talking nonsense when you were drunk. Now, let's talk about it again. This time, I hope you are sincere.
Okay? "
