"What is this black thing?" Chen Xian said with some disgust.

"Who knows? Maybe it's some treasure!" Li Mu said with a smile.

"I've definitely never seen it before." The shop assistant came over and said.

"Brother, are you going to sell this material?" the guy asked. No matter what this thing is, as long as it has been seen by no one, it has value. Moreover, it is something from a rare treasure land. What if you can get a bargain?

"Sell it, but we have to call your manager here." Li Mu said.

"Okay, wait a minute." said the guy. He himself couldn't tell what the item was and couldn't estimate its price.

"Tsk tsk tsk, there are actually people who want this junk!" Chen Xian exclaimed.

Li Mu smiled and said nothing more.

After a while, a white-haired old man came over led by a waiter.

"Haha, nephew, my name is Qi Tao, a core disciple, and now the deputy manager of this shop. Could you please let me take a look at your material?" The old man said with a smile.

"Okay." Li Mu handed over the materials.

Qi Tao took the material carefully and looked at it carefully.

"Uncle-master, what exactly is this black thing? Is it really a treasure?" Chen Xian asked doubtfully.

Qi Tao ignored him and just kept knocking and looking carefully over and over again. The waiter signaled Chen Xian to be quiet.

After a long time, Qi Tao smiled embarrassedly and said to Li Mu: "Haha, nephew, forgive my poor eyesight, I really can't tell what material this thing is, and I can't see what's special about it." Qi Tao said as he carefully handed the material to Li Mu.

"Haha, I told you, where do so many treasures come from in this world? Junior brother, you need to broaden your horizons. Well, I think this thing is quite rare, and it would be nice to collect it. I'll give you 10 low-grade spirit stones!" Chen Feng said with a smile, as if he had expected this.

"My nephew is right. Although this thing is rare, it is not a good material for refining weapons. It is not hard enough. It is a good choice as a collection. However, since my nephew has already spoken first, there is no need for me to snatch it from a junior." Qi Tao said.

"As expected of you, you are a magnanimous uncle!" Chen Xian gave a thumbs up and said to Li Mu, "Brother, 10 low-grade spirit stones. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again."

"Wait, I'll give you 15 low-grade spirit stones." Before Li Mu could say anything, a cultivator who was watching spoke first. He didn't want to collect it or fancy this material, but he saw that Qi Tao wanted to collect it but was too embarrassed to lose face to compete with the younger generation. This cultivator wanted to buy it and give it to Qi Tao privately, or transfer it to Qi Tao. It was only 15 low-grade spirit stones, and he could get the favor of a core disciple of the Ancient Sword Sect, even if it was just a little bit. This deal was worth it.

Li Mu felt helpless. These people didn't know the value of his material and actually treated it as a rare collectible. But wasn't the price too low?

"Everyone, I don't plan to sell this material. Manager Qi, can you give it to Zhao Ming on my behalf... uh... senior, this is a material that has not been discovered before after all. To be cautious, let senior Zhao Ming take a look at it? Haha, I don't have any other intentions. I just want to be cautious. Of course, no matter whether this thing is a precious material or not, I will not take it back." Li Mu said. He was not used to calling a person who had not even become an immortal as a senior.

Qi Tao was a little unhappy to hear that Li Mu didn't believe him, but then he thought that what Li Mu said made some sense. If the treasure was left in obscurity because of him, he would be committing a great sin. After all, he was also a swordsmith and was eager for rare materials. Compared with rare materials, face was nothing.

So Qi Tao said: "Okay, nephew, there are so many people watching here today, I will definitely send your materials to my master!" It turned out that Qi Tao was Zhao Ming's apprentice.

After Qi Tao finished speaking, he took the materials from Li Mu's hand, turned around and left.

After Qi Tao left, Chen Xian quickly came up and said to Li Mu: "Junior brother, do you still have that material? I will pay 20 low-grade spirit stones for one piece."

"Haha, fellow Daoist, you have a good plan. If Zhao Ming really identifies that material as precious, then you will make a fortune. If the material is useless, fellow Daoist can still collect it as a rare item, and maybe even sell it for a good price. You won't lose money on this deal!" said a cultivator who was watching with a smile.

"Go away, why are you butting in here? This is our Gu Jian Sect's internal affairs. I see that my junior brother has just arrived and needs money, so this can be considered as helping him!" Chen Xian said without blushing.

The monks who were watching could not help but look at Chen Xian with contempt, without any intention of hiding anything.

Chen Xian turned a blind eye and stared at Li Mu.

Li Mu shook his head and said, "No more."

Everyone was a little disappointed when they heard Li Mu say that. They also wanted to buy some at a low price and wait for Zhao Ming's appraisal results. However, they were not as shameless as Chen Xian. Of course, if Li Mu said he had extra to sell, they would definitely compete with Chen Xian.

Seeing this, everyone had to leave and started to busy themselves with choosing their favorite swords. After all, they were not from the Ancient Sword Sect. It cost 5 low-grade spirit stones to enter the market. Wouldn't it be a loss if they returned empty-handed? 5 low-grade spirit stones were not a small amount, enough for a Jindan cultivator to practice in seclusion for ten days. However, if you can buy the sword you like at the market, it will be quite cost-effective. After all, buying at this market is equivalent to direct sales from the manufacturer, without middlemen to make a profit, which is much more cost-effective than buying outside. Moreover, the swords bought outside are the ones left over by others, so what good goods can there be?

After sending the materials out, Li Mu now only had to wait for news. It would probably take a while, after all, Qi Tao couldn't take it to Zhao Ming right away. Even if he went to see him now, Zhao Ming might not have time!

There was nothing good to see in this market. Li Mu didn't like the things here. Although he found some bargains in this market after a casual glance, they were not attractive to him, so he planned to return to his residence.

Seeing that Chen Xian was still following him, Li Mu felt helpless and said, "Aren't you here to buy things? Go and do your thing!"

"Hehe, don't worry. If you don't find something suitable today, you can come back to buy it later. Anyway, our inner gate is not far from here, and you don't have to pay an entrance fee or anything!" Chen Xian laughed.

"Then why are you following me? Go home when it's time to go home!" Li Mu said unhappily.

"Don't be so stingy. I'm coming to your house as a guest. You won't be unwelcome, will you?" Chen Xian said with a lick on his face.

"Get out." Li Mu shouted.

Chen Xian had no choice but to give up and watched Li Mu leave with a little resentment.
