Chapter 264
The prices of the products are marked next to the display stand, all in Israeli military...
There were a large number of display stands in the square, each of which displayed some expensive goods.
The prices of the goods are marked next to the display stand, all of which are marked with military merits.
In addition, there are some empty display stands, which are prepared for local natives. If they have good things that can arouse the interest of monks, they can also sell them at a good price.
There were many people in the square, but there was a clear distinction between them. There seemed to be an illusory boundary between the local natives and the cultivators.
Cheng Hui observed for a while and stood with the local natives out of habit.
He didn't really like the condescending expressions of those cultivators, as if after practicing, they had separated themselves from the human species.
He can't control other people's thoughts, but he can control himself from becoming the person he hates.
Not to mention Lin Qingyang. If we talk about arrogance, there are probably few people in the entire cultivation world who can be looked up to by him. However, influenced by Cheng Hui, he has a good impression of ordinary people, or rather... he is willing to restrain his former arrogance for Cheng Hui.
"Go over there and take a look."
The two of them slowly crossed the entire square and saw quite a few good things.
However, these things are relatively expensive. The local natives do not have the materials to obtain these things, so they can only exchange them for military merits. If they leave here, they can buy them with ordinary spirit stones, so there is no need to spend military merits.
In addition, there are also many locals selling some rare treasures.
The spiritual energy in this world is very inert, but this only applies to humans. Plants are not affected at all. Therefore, in some places with rich spiritual energy, powerful natural treasures can still be produced.
If someone by chance took these treasures, if he was lucky he would soar to the sky and become a peerless master; if he was unlucky... exploding to death is really a not very dignified way to die.
In addition to taking it themselves, most people will resell it. After a few rounds of circulation, it will fall into the hands of people who really know the value of it.
This is how the treasures in these people's hands came from. These spiritual treasures and herbs that they don't think are very impressive can be sold at a good price here with cultivators.
It’s not that the cultivators won’t bargain down, but there are too many people here, and they all belong to different sects. There are also people from the Demon Sect who are stirring up trouble, so it’s impossible to get a bargain.
Later, those cultivators began to open up to the idea. Anything they liked was a rare treasure in the world of cultivation. If they could buy it, they would make a profit.
Of course, who it will be sold to depends on which monk offers the highest price.
The locals aren't stupid either; the saying "the highest bidder wins" applies to both parties. Since both sides have something to gain, this trade fair can be held year-round.
Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang took a look around and found that there was basically nothing on the cultivators' side that caught their eye. On the contrary, there were many valuable items on the local natives' side. They could try to bid when the auction came later.
In addition, there is a corner in the square specially prepared for some unknown treasures.
The people selling goods here include monks and local military leaders. The things sold by these monks are often defective products, that is, the genuine longevity pills can extend life by ten years, while their longevity pills can only extend life for a period of time that depends on luck.
The goods of the locals here also have big problems. The things they display are very strange. At first glance, they are all some strange-shaped junk, such as broken porcelain pieces, torn cloth strips, wild grass that looks like it has been bitten by something... There are countless things like this.
But it is precisely on this kind of rubbish that a strange fluctuation can be felt.
This fluctuation is very obvious. Even ordinary people without any cultivation can feel that strange fluctuation as long as they have some skills.
Many monks were curious about this fluctuation and bought a large number of special items to study it, but unfortunately they did not gain anything in the end.
However, after being washed by spiritual power, some of these special items will be transformed into very expensive materials.
No one knows how this transformation happens, and no one knows which special items will be transformed. It seems that everything depends on luck, and thus this special auction venue was born.
Buying things here is basically a matter of luck. If you are lucky, you can make a lot of money. If you are unlucky... you will lose everything.
Cheng Hui took a look around and saw several cultivators buying a few items at random, and then washing them with spiritual power on the spot. They bought a total of four items, and only one of them changed its form, from a page of a book to a crystal. There was a drop of red liquid in the crystal, which looked a bit like blood.
The monk who bought the pages was quite excited and had obviously recognized what the crystal was.
Cheng Hui took a look from a distance and felt that the person looked familiar. Before he could think about it, Lin Qingyang had already helped him solve the confusion.
"That's a drifting crystal. The blood inside... probably a legacy from some powerful being."
As soon as he mentioned drifting crystal, Cheng Hui knew what it was.
As the saying goes, there are all kinds of birds in the forest. The world of cultivation has continued for so many years, and the personalities of the cultivators are also varied. There was a time when drifting crystals were very popular in the world of cultivation. Some powerful cultivators sealed their understanding of a certain spell into this crystal, and then threw the crystal into the endless void. This kind of crystal has a characteristic, that is, they have an extraordinary attraction to the small world.
Generally speaking, after drifting in the void for a few years, this drifting crystal will fall into a small world. If you are lucky enough to see it, you can not only learn a powerful spell, but also have some kind of connection with the big guy who threw the crystal.
The world of cultivation emphasizes cause and effect, and even more so fate. If a cultivator is lucky enough to obtain the wandering crystal, he will have the opportunity to go to the world where the big boss is, and perhaps become his registered disciple.
Don't think that registered disciples are low-level. The big guys who can afford to play games like Drifting Crystal must have a high level of cultivation. Not to mention that Drifting Crystal itself is very expensive, being able to seal Drifting Crystal and throw it into the void is not something that ordinary cultivators can do.
Not to mention ordinary cultivators, it is never a loss to be able to get close to a big boss.
Even if the one who gets the crystal is a big shot, having more friends means having more paths.
Therefore, no matter what, the value of the Drifting Crystal is not low. If the spell sealed inside is more powerful, it will be a huge profit.
Seeing the monk's ecstatic look, Cheng Hui couldn't help but feel moved.
However, he still had his sanity and didn't enter immediately, but instead observed from the side. After some observation, he could basically conclude that the items in this square were almost all scams, and only a few were truly valuable. The monk who had previously obtained the drifting crystal was definitely lucky today.
"Go ahead and buy it if you're interested. We're not short of military merits." Seeing that Cheng Hui looked very interested, Lin Qingyang advised him gently.
Cheng Hui shook his head: "It doesn't seem worth it. The chances are too small."
Lin Qingyang smiled and pushed him to the side of a display stand: "Just buy two things to play with, just as a test of your luck."
Cheng Hui nodded indifferently. This thing is similar to buying lottery tickets. As long as you don't get addicted to it, it's okay to buy a few for fun.
After coming to his senses, he stopped observing other people and instead focused on choosing from the display stands.
These special items with strange fluctuations are very strange. No one would think they are treasures just from their appearance. And the way they transform into form is also very strange, from a piece of paper to a piece of crystal, which is shocking no matter how you look at it.
With a playful attitude, Cheng Hui randomly picked out five items, including a red rope that looked like a bracelet; an irregular white stone, only as big as a thumb; a strip of object that was not sure whether it was wood or leather; a pitch-black feather; and a brush that looked like it had been stepped on several times.
For just five items, the seller offered a price of nearly 10,000 military merits. Cheng Hui habitually planned to bargain, but was stopped by Lin Qingyang.
Cheng Hui looked at him in confusion. Lin Qingyang smiled slightly and winked at the military leader, indicating that he should go talk to the side.
In public, the military leader was not afraid of anything and followed them to the corner.
Lin Qingyang pulled out a piece of talisman paper from his bosom and said to the military leader with a pained look on his face, "The amulet needs to be activated actively. As long as you are not hit head-on by an attack like the demon elephant's stone throwing, it can save your life. If this talisman paper didn't have the automatic activation function, I would never have sold it to you for 10,000 military merits. How about it? If you agree to the deal, give me some more military merits."
The military leader was quite surprised to hear about the effect of the talisman paper, but he still had some doubts: "How can you guarantee the effectiveness of this talisman paper?"
Lin Qingyang pursed his lips, putting on an awkward expression. After hesitating for a moment, he seemed to have finally made up his mind: "You can ask the cultivators here to appraise it, but the loss will be on you."
The military commander was overjoyed. What was a little bit of loss? This was something that could save lives. If it was real, let alone 10,000 military merits, even if it was 15,000 or 20,000, it would not be a problem to sell it. It would be a great bargain for him to be able to buy it!
He didn't know why Lin Qingyang would take out such a talisman paper, and he didn't care. As long as the talisman paper worked properly, he didn't care.
In this way, Lin Qingyang and the military leader went to find a cultivator for appraisal. After paying a little military merit, the military leader got a result that made him very satisfied.
The effect of this talisman paper is exactly the same as what Lin Qingyang said. He made a fortune by exchanging it for something worth ten thousand military merits!
The military leader's eyes rolled and he had some other ideas in his mind, but before he could speak, Lin Qingyang tugged at Cheng Hui's sleeve and winked at him.
Cheng Hui: ...
He pretended to be angry and said, "If you sell this talisman paper, how are you going to explain it to your wife?"
Lin Qingyang hesitated and said, "I... I'm doing this for his own good. What good is a piece of talisman paper? As long as these things we bought can be turned into treasures, those cultivators will definitely pay a high price for them!"
He was not lying. There were also local natives who would buy this special item and then hire cultivators to wash it.
In this way, once a treasure appears, it can be sold at several cups or even dozens of times the price, and getting rich overnight is not a dream.
Unfortunately... people who do this often only think about how much money they can make if they are lucky, but forget that with this kind of thing, losing the bet is the norm.
When the military leader saw that Lin Qingyang was planning to take a gamble and even sold the life-saving talisman paper prepared for him by his wife, the corners of his mouth twitched and he had no intention of continuing the conversation.
He has seen many young people like this who dream of getting rich overnight, but reality will teach them a lesson.
