Chapter 25 Spiritual Stone
"Fellow Daoist, could you please introduce these materials of yours to me?"
Bai Donglin squatted in front of a stall, smelling the fishy odor coming from the bottles and jars in front of him. This should be what he needed.
The middle-aged monk, who looked quite honest, perked up immediately when he saw that some business was coming, and said enthusiastically:
"Of course, no problem. Fellow Daoist, please take a look. This bottle contains the venom of a black ring snake. It is extremely toxic. If a cultivator who is cultivating his body through Qi is poisoned by this, he will die in a matter of seconds!"
"This is poison powder made from the poison glands of the four-winged centipede..."
"This thing is really powerful, it's the poison of the black-haired zombie!"
"This is the Soul-Breaking Grass, the main ingredient for refining the Soul-Breaking Pill!"
The stall owner was very enthusiastic. His products were unpopular and difficult to sell. He finally met a buyer, so of course he had to promote them quickly.
Bai Donglin nodded with satisfaction. These were poisons above the mundane world, they contained spiritual energy and were much more toxic.
"Boss, I want all these things. Name your price."
The stall owner's eyes lit up, big business, rubbed his hands, and laughed: "Daoyou, I'll give you a preferential price, ten spirit stones!"
The ten spirit stones here of course refer to the lower-grade spirit stones. Spirit stones are minerals condensed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. They have a wide range of uses and are the hard currency in the world of cultivation!
It is divided into four grades: low, medium, high and extreme. The exchange rate of adjacent grades of spiritual stones is 1 to 100. However, generally few people exchange high-grade spiritual stones for low-grade spiritual stones. The higher the grade, the higher the value.
Spiritual stones are generally cut into small cubes of two cubic centimeters in size.
"Five spirit stones."
Bai Donglin started bargaining as usual, starting with half the price.
"Nine spirit stones! Nine is very cheap, fellow Daoist!"
"Six spirit stones."
"Eight! Eight! It really can't be any lower!"
"Seven!"
Bai Donglin took out seven low-grade spirit stones from the Xumi ring. They were all the same size. The crystal clear spirit stones glowed slightly under the light, which was very beautiful! The stall owner's eyes lit up when he saw the spirit stones, and he was also shocked that the young man in front of him actually had a Xumi ring! Although he didn't know the size, the cheapest cubic Xumi ring was also worth a thousand low-grade spirit stones!
"Deal, seven is seven!"
After the stall owner finished speaking, he took the spirit stones and packed up all the bottles and jars. On the surface, he looked pained, but he actually made some money since they were all unpopular materials.
Even though he exaggerated the toxicity, which fool would be so foolish as to take such a smelly poison? Unless it was processed by an alchemist, but alchemists were a rare profession, not to mention that it was an unpopular poison, so the price would be different.
That’s why these materials are so cheap. If they were materials that were good for the human body, the prices would be different. Even if you can’t hire an alchemist, you can swallow them directly!
Although the effect may be worse, it is still much more valuable than these poisons that cannot be directly used.
Bai Donglin took the package and put it into the Xumi Ring, and nodded with satisfaction. For him, this was also a disguised way of picking up a bargain.
His second brother gave him a total of 500 low-grade spirit stones and 10 medium-grade spirit stones. These 10 medium-grade spirit stones were the cost of using the domain gate.
The Domain Gate only accepts spirit stones of medium quality and above, and the amount collected varies depending on the distance, so these ten medium quality spirit stones cannot be used.
These spirit stones are already a huge sum of money. He even suspected that his second brother gave him all the spirit stones he had!
Be frugal if you can, but don't squander. This is what my second brother wanted.
There aren't many poisonous things here. It's not easy to come to this kind of monks' market, so you must take the opportunity to buy more. You don't know when you will have the next chance.
So he started to walk around alone again. Senior Brother Liu Dafu and his sister had already gone somewhere else. The three of them separated as soon as they entered the square, and agreed to look for their own "opportunities"! Bai Donglin saw someone selling poisons and bought them decisively. The prices were all very attractive! He also thought about it. There were so many goods in this market, and for him, these poison materials were the most cost-effective.
This is not poison, this is lovely strengthening energy! Not long after, Bai Donglin walked around the square and collected all the poison materials. They were indeed unpopular materials, and he only spent more than 200 spirit stones in total.
Thinking it was about time, he prepared to call Liu Dafu and the others to leave together. He had already seen the two of them standing in front of a stall without moving.
This stall is particularly lively, with three layers inside and three layers outside.
Bai Donglin walked over and took a look. Oh, isn't this the same old gambling stone? Is it really the same in all the worlds? Sure enough, no matter how the world changes, humans have the instinct to gamble in their bones! In his previous life, he heard an interesting saying that the ancestor of mankind, the first monkey who chose to come down from the tree to live on the ground, when it hesitated whether to come down from the tree, had a gambling mentality. It bet that it would survive better if it came down from the tree, so it came down from the tree.
Bai Donglin shook his head. He had no interest in gambling. He preferred the feeling of being in control of everything. Leaving everything to chance was like letting others control his fate! This was not in line with his Tao heart. His fate could only be controlled by himself.
When he walked over, he found that Liu Dafu and the other man were just watching the fun and were not participating in the gambling on stones. He could not help but nod his head. They were all good kids. He did not want the people he just met to become gamblers.
Of course, for those who use cheats to gamble on stones, it is not called gambling. Isn't it like buying vegetables in the market? Just pick whatever you want.

I called two people and left the night market together. We made an appointment to meet again next time and then separated. The three of them did not live in the same place.
I walked through the somewhat deserted streets of Linjiang City and returned to the small courtyard behind the restaurant.
He was not in a hurry to start practicing, as it was already his rest time. He had been traveling for the past month and had not had a good rest, which made him a little tired.
Just when Bai Donglin was about to fall asleep, a few furtive monks gathered in a wasteland outside the city, discussing something in a low voice.
"Brother San, have you investigated clearly? Is that kid really just living alone in the restaurant?"
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with a sinister face and inverted triangular eyes. There was a scar from his temple to his chin. He was not a good person at first glance. He was a wicked man who could stop a baby from crying! "Don't worry, big brother! I went to the restaurant to ask around. That kid and the people from the Purple Talisman Sect only met today. They might not even be friends. The three of them separated after leaving the night market!"
A young man with a pointed face and a wretched appearance said with a smug look on his face, "Brother, this is a big fat sheep! And it's not dangerous at all! Big brother, second brother, fourth brother, you all know that I, the third brother, may not be good at other things, but I have a secret technique that allows me to be extremely sensitive to spiritual energy."
"I didn't sense any spiritual energy from that kid, and there was no spiritual energy fluctuation when he used the Xumi Ring. It's obviously the more precious Blood Refining Ring!"
"I can guarantee that he is definitely not a cultivator! Even a cultivator at the Qi-Inducing and Body-Forging Stage cannot be without a trace of spiritual energy!"
The other three people nodded after listening to this. The third brother’s analysis was indeed good.
"Are you sure he is still in the restaurant?" the eldest brother asked again.
"Don't worry, big brother. I put some hidden fragrance powder on him. He can't get away!"
"Okay! We can do this. Get your weapons ready. The most important thing is not to attract the Linjiang City Guards!"
"Yes! Big brother!"
After saying this, the four of them used magic to hide their figures and ran towards Linjiang City.
