Lu Qing stood in front of the stall where Xiao Li told him there was the movement of the rare treasure.
The stall owner was a capable middle-aged man in the Jindan realm, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed.
It seems that he is not interested in anything in the outside world.
Even when Lu Qing and the others arrived, he still had no intention of opening his eyes and allowed them to check the things on his stall.
Lu Qing didn't disturb him, but slowly looked at the things on the stall.
After a while, he pointed at one of the items and asked, "Daoyou, how much is this treasure worth?"
The lean middle-aged man opened his eyes and looked at the thing Lu Qing was pointing at.
He said calmly, "No bargaining, three thousand low-grade spirit stones."
"What, three thousand low-grade spirit stones?"
After hearing the price, Lu Qing hadn't said anything yet, but the Taoist Wubao next to him couldn't help it.
"Fellow Daoist, your price is a bit outrageous. This is just a top-grade magic weapon, but you are asking for such a high price. You can buy a good treasure with this price!"
"Products from Shenshan, the price is naturally different from ordinary magic tools."
The lean middle-aged man was not angry and still spoke in a calm tone.
"Even if it is made from the Divine Mountain, it is just a top-grade magic weapon after all. It is not worth so many spirit stones at all!"
Taoist Wubao would not be fooled by him and retorted.
"If you think it's too expensive, you don't have to buy it."
The lean middle-aged man glanced at Taoist Wubao and said impatiently.
"My friend, this price is indeed a bit expensive, can it be cheaper?"
Lu Qing also spoke at this time.
"Why, you are willing to believe in other people's made-up stories and spend a lot of money to buy a tattered magic weapon.
This product from a certain company is genuine, a top-grade magical weapon that was obtained with great difficulty from the sacred mountain, yet you think it is too expensive.
If you want it, buy it. If you can't afford the spirit stones, go to another stall and continue to be a sucker. Don't disturb my practice."
As soon as these words were spoken, the face of the stall owner who was at the Foundation Establishment stage nearby suddenly changed.
He couldn't help but defend himself, "Senior, you are going too far. When have I ever deceived you? Everything I said is true!"
"Whether it's true or not, you know it in your heart."
The lean middle-aged man said coldly.
"you!"
The stall owner who was at the Foundation Establishment stage was immediately furious, but after all, his cultivation was inferior to the other person, and in the end his face turned red a few times, but he still did not dare to lose his temper.
He just looked at Lu Qing with some fear: "Senior, I really did not deceive you, I can swear!"
"Since I have paid with spirit stones to buy it, I naturally won't care about these things."
Lu Qing smiled and showed no intention of pursuing responsibility.
"But fellow Daoist, your three thousand spirit stones are indeed a bit expensive. I cannot afford it."
"I told you, no bargaining. If you don't want it, go look somewhere else. I can't say the things here are the cheapest, but I can guarantee that they are definitely obtained from the sacred mountain, and each one is a treasure."
The lean middle-aged man's fingers moved imperceptibly.
But he remained calm and spoke in a calm tone.
"Friend Chen, let's go somewhere else!"
At this time, Taoist Wubao couldn't stand this person's attitude anymore, and immediately said to Lu Qing.
"There's no rush." Lu Qing waved his hand and became interested. "Since this fellow Taoist is so sure, it seems that he is very confident in his treasure. Let's take a look."
After saying that, he continued to look at the things on the stall.
Taoist Wubao had no choice but to continue standing there with him.
He didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Chen, who was usually very calm, would become lively after coming to Tianji Peak.
After all, they are still young people. When they see the so-called treasures, they can't keep calm.
Soon, Lu Qing took a fancy to another thing.
Pointing at it, he asked, "Daoist friend, how much do you value this bead?"
Taoist Wubao looked in the direction it was heading and saw that it was a dull grey bead that looked ordinary.
It did not give off any aura of a magical weapon, so it should be a foreign object that had not been refined.
As to whether it is a treasure or not, it is unknown.
"This bead...also costs three thousand low-grade spirit stones."
The lean middle-aged man took a look at the bead, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.
"Another three thousand low-grade spirit stones. Forget about the top-grade magic weapon just now. This bead doesn't even have the aura of a treasure, but you're still selling it for three thousand spirit stones. Aren't you going too far?"
When Taoist Wubao heard the price, he couldn't help himself.
Lu Qing shook his head at this time: "It seems that you really treat me as a fool, Taoist priest, let's go."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Taoist Wubao snorted coldly and was about to leave.
"Wait a moment, fellow Taoist!"
Seeing that Lu Qing was really leaving, the capable middle-aged man finally became anxious.
"If you really want this bead, how about two thousand five hundred low-grade spirit stones?"
"I will only offer one thousand low-grade spirit stones." Lu Qing stood still. "If you are willing to sell, then we can trade directly. If not, then forget it."
The lean middle-aged man hesitated again.
If he said that the top-grade magic weapon was obtained from the Tianshu Sacred Mountain, it was half true and half false.
In fact, it was just one of the magic weapons he obtained after killing several enemies in Tianshu Mountain.
But this gray bead was actually obtained by him from a cave space in the Tianshu Divine Mountain.
He paid a heavy price for that expedition.
Most of the treasures obtained have been sold over the years.
Only this gray bead has been ignored because it is too ordinary.
He once thought about sending them to an auction, but the appraisers at the auction rejected them directly after looking at the beads.
Thinking of this, the capable middle-aged man had already made a decision in his heart.
Although he has always had a feeling that this gray bead is not as simple as it seems.
But after so many years, he still couldn't figure out the secret.
No matter how you look at it, it is just an ordinary bead, no different from ordinary stone beads.
It is said that a batch of elixirs for refining golden elixirs will appear in this auction.
He has now reached the third level of the golden elixir. If he wants to enter the fourth level, he must refine the golden elixir and upgrade the magic power golden elixir to the middle level.
Therefore, he must get the golden elixir this time.
Otherwise, I don’t know when the next time this kind of elixir appears will be.
In this case, he needs to prepare enough spirit stones.
This gray bead may really contain some secrets.
But it is more likely that it is really just an ordinary stone bead.
After all, he had tried every possible method over the years, but was unable to figure out anything strange about it.
Treasures that cannot be used are almost waste no matter how good they are. It is better to exchange them for spirit stones and buy the treasures you need to increase your strength.
His expression changed several times, and the capable middle-aged man finally looked at Lu Qing.
He said seriously: "One thousand five hundred low-grade spirit stones, no less. If you don't want to, then forget it."
Seeing the look on his face, Lu Qing hesitated for a moment before finally nodding and saying, "Okay, just 1,500 spirit stones."
After saying that, he took out fifteen medium-grade spirit stones from his storage bag and handed them over.
Seeing Lu Qing making a move, and all of them were mid-grade spirit stones, a gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the capable middle-aged man.
But he quickly restrained himself, put away the spirit stone in his hand, picked up the gray bead and handed it to Lu Qing.
"This precious pearl now belongs to you, fellow Taoist."
Lu Qing didn't seem to notice anything unusual about the other party. He took the beads casually and put them away without checking.
The capable middle-aged man suddenly felt a sense of loss after Lu Qing put away the gray beads.
It seemed as if something important had slipped away from his hands.
Unfortunately, even if he regretted it now, it was already useless.
Even though there seems to be no one managing this place, everyone is free to buy and sell.
But if something really happens, the strong men of Tianshu City will come forward at the first moment.
At that time, he might be expelled directly and never be able to enter the city again.
So he could only force out a smile: "Daoyou is indeed generous. I have quite a few treasures here. I wonder if there is anything that you would like. I can give you a discount."
"No need, I want to go somewhere else."
After Lu Qing got what he wanted, he didn't want to stay any longer, so he walked to other stalls with Taoist Wubao.
Watching the figures of Lu Qing and the other person slowly disappearing in the crowd, the capable middle-aged man narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
At this time, a voice from the soul sounded.
"Nothing, I just think that boy seems a little special. By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet, but you actually sold an ordinary magic weapon for a high price of thousands of spirit stones."
The lean middle-aged man withdrew his gaze and responded in the same voice transmission.
"Haha, this kid is really a fool. He actually believed the story I made up. And you, brother, are the same. That useless stone bead was finally sold."
It turned out that the person who sent the message was actually the owner of the stall next to him who was at the Foundation Establishment stage.
The two of them had actually been performing a duet before, pretending not to know each other.
"Useless stone beads..."
The capable middle-aged man thought of the feeling of loss when the stone bead left his hand just now, and a dark light flowed in his eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, why are you so concerned about that bead? Is there some mystery behind it?"
At this time, Taoist Wubao finally figured out what was going on.
Lu Qing's previous performance was indeed somewhat different from usual.
Seeing him take out so many spirit stones without blinking an eye, he bought a seemingly useless stone bead.
He finally realized that there might be something else going on.
"It just so happened that I liked it and thought the bead was nice."
Lu Qing smiled but didn't tell the truth.
But Taoist Wubao understood clearly in his heart that the bead must have something special, but neither he nor the stall owner could see it.
In the following time, Lu Qing walked around the square again.
He went to the stalls where Xiao Li had sensed rare treasures and took a look, only to find that those treasures were basically normal.
The scent of treasures was very obvious, and the stall owners were asking for very high prices.
However, there is no other rare treasure like the gray bead, whose light is dim and its true nature is difficult for others to see.
Lu Qing was surprised but also felt it made sense.
Yes, that's normal. There are not so many bargains to be found in this world.
It is considered good luck to be able to obtain a rare treasure at a small price.
It's impossible for him to take all the opportunities by himself.
After asking around, he found out that the stall owners offered extremely high prices for the rare treasures that Xiao Li sensed were extraordinary, which were far more than the value of the treasures themselves.
Moreover, those rare treasures were not necessary for him, so Lu Qing immediately lost interest in them.
But now, he was even more looking forward to the upcoming auction.
Even these priceless treasures cannot be brought to the auction and can only be sold at stalls here.
How amazing will the treasures in this auction be?
After coming out of the square, Lu Qing and Taoist Wubao strolled around Tianji Peak again.
As time passed, it was getting closer to evening.
There were constantly cultivators flying from the sky and landing on Tianji Peak.
Each of them has a powerful aura and is at least at the Jindan level or above.
Among them, there are those who can make the hearts of the people below tremble as soon as they appear.
A strong man whose aura is as deep as the deep sea, as majestic as a mountain, or even as vast as the sky.
At first glance, it was obvious that he was the almighty powerful spirit, and he was so graceful just now.
However, most of the powerful souls fell directly into the huge building on the top of the mountain, and few of them wandered around on Tianji Peak.
Lu Qing was still shopping with the Five-Star Taoist Priest. At this moment, he was standing in front of a shop with a hint of surprise on his face.
This shop does not sell common magic weapons or elixirs, but rather rows of jade slips and ancient books.
According to the store owner, there are some books on martial arts and methods of practicing secret techniques.
"Daodianju, there is actually a store that specializes in selling martial arts manuals?"
Lu Qing was both surprised and stunned.
You know, practitioners have always attached great importance to their own cultivation methods.
Except for the closest disciples and relatives, few are willing to show their skills to outsiders, let alone sell them.
After all, if the secrets of one's practice were known by others, it would be hard to guarantee that they would not develop a method tailored for one.
Therefore, Lu Qing has rarely seen places that specialize in selling martial arts books.
Unexpectedly, I would meet him on Tianji Peak.
It seems that this store must have a strong background, perhaps it belongs to Tianshu City.
Lu Qing walked inside immediately, but after looking around and listening to the store owner's introduction, he realized that he was too excited too early.
Most of the martial arts manuals in this shop are about the cultivation methods for the Qi Refining Realm and the Foundation Establishment Realm.
There are only more than ten doors that can reach the Jindan level.
As for the classics at the soul level, there is not a single one.
After understanding this, Lu Qing felt a little disappointed, but also understood.
The soul-level skills are too precious and it is impossible to sell them like this.
It’s not a question of whether anyone will buy it or not, but as long as the store owner dares to display this level of skills.
Even if he has the support of Tianshu City behind him, he would probably not be able to resist the greed of those powerful Jindan realm masters.
Maybe as soon as this place is put out, someone might dare to rob it that night.
After realizing this, Lu Qing's excited heart calmed down.
Then he looked at the more than ten Jindan-level skills with a hint of heat in his eyes.
His recent deduction of [Perfect Golden Elixir Method] happened to hit a bottleneck.
These Jindan-level skills came just in time.
