Other stalls sell elixirs and magical artifacts, as well as spiritual fruits and rare treasures.
The former's customers are cultivators from the Northern Region, while the latter's audience is cultivators from the mainland.
The other stalls were crowded with people, but the one in front of Sheng Ning only had an ordinary piece of clothing on display.
The stall owner seemed to have no intention of selling clothes at all; he sat in front of his stall, playing with two walnuts in his palm.
"Junior Sister, what are you doing here? What's so interesting about a tattered piece of clothing? Why don't you go over there and look at some spiritual artifacts and elixirs?"
When Lu Qing'an saw Sheng Ning stop in front of the deserted stall, he turned around and came to her side. Looking down, he saw that there was only one piece of clothing on the stall.
The clothes were very thin and sheer, and made of white gauze; they were clearly not proper clothes.
With a light cough, Lu Qing'an saw his junior sister staring blankly at the stall and reached out to pull her to a nearby stall.
"Fellow Daoist, how much is this garment?"
Sheng Ning's sudden words not only made Lu Qing'an stop in his tracks, but also made the stall owner look up.
Seeing Sheng Ning's still chubby face, the stall owner blinked and said, "If you are sincere about wanting it, young friend, it will cost ten thousand high-grade spirit stones."
"Ten thousand? This is the Northern Region, not the black market. You're asking for ten thousand high-grade spirit stones for a piece of gauze? Why don't you just rob someone?"
Yu Ye had just arrived at the stall when he heard the stall owner make an outrageous demand, asking for 10,000 high-grade spirit stones.
His eyes widened instantly, and he slammed his palms on the stall. With a loud crash, the stall collapsed in an instant.
The stall owner glanced at Yu Ye expressionlessly and said in a low voice, "The stall fee is five high-grade spirit stones. I'll round it down for you. Just give me ten thousand and two high-grade spirit stones."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing'an and the other three twitched their eyes violently.
They knew about the rounding down, but isn't it a bit outrageous to round down five spirit stones to two?
Seeing that the stall had collapsed, Sheng Ning could only bend down and touch the white gauze. After a while, she looked up at the stall owner and asked, "What material is this? Why does it feel so cold to the touch?"
The Northern Region is located in the far north, where it snows all year round. People who are afraid of the cold wish they could wrap themselves up like a ball from head to toe.
This stall owner is quite strange; not only is he selling a piece of gauze in the northern region, but the material of the gauze is also icy cold to the touch.
Not only that, but there was not a trace of spiritual power in the thin veil.
This is also why there are no customers in front of the stall.
If this veil were a high-grade spiritual artifact, she wouldn't even have a chance to make a move.
"Ice worm".
The stall owner's answer was concise and to the point. Even though Yu Ye and his companions were educated, they knew a lot about rare and precious treasures.
But they had never heard of ice worms, and besides, there was no spiritual power on the thin gauze, so buying it would just be for decoration.
Yu bent down to pull Sheng Ning's wrist, her gaze towards the thin veil filled with disdain.
"Junior Sister, let's go. Ten thousand high-grade spirit stones are enough to buy hundreds of roast goose shops for Master."
"Buying him a piece of shabby clothing, are you just wasting your money?"
The moment Sheng Ning was pulled up, she turned to look at Yu Ye.
Without saying a word, just looking at him made Yu Ye's throat bob, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to scratch his hair.
"Fourth senior brother, that piece of clothing has a built-in cooling effect."
Wearing this in the summer means you don't even need to turn on the air conditioner; it has a built-in cooling effect, which is incredibly appealing to her.
Yu Ye looked into her pleading eyes, and his features immediately scrunched up.
"It's burned, so what? Boss, can you round it down to zero?"
"Ten thousand and six high-grade spirit stones."
As the boss's cool voice rang in his ears, Yu also chuckled, "Didn't you just give me 10,002 yuan?"
“I need to go back and catch ice worms, time is precious,” the stall owner looked up and met his eyes, “10,000 high-grade spirit stones.”
"Buy, buy, buy! Don't let the price go up! Ten spirit stones are enough for my master to eat so many roast geese."
Yu willingly took out his mustard seed bag and counted out the spirit stones for the stall owner.
The stall owner, having received the spirit stones, immediately stood up. He glanced at Yu Ye, then turned to look at Sheng Ning, saying, "This is a free gift."
After saying that, the stall owner turned around and left.
They didn't even want the stall that was smashed.
Seeing how readily he left, Yu felt a pang of guilt and kept biting her handkerchief.
He knew it would be strange if this stall had any business.
His junior sister must have been scammed, which is why the other party took the money and ran away.
Looking down at Sheng Ning, who was bending down to pick up the white gauze, Yu Ye raised his hand and patted his forehead.
Oh well, I'll just consider it a lesson learned.
On the contrary, Lu Qing'an's words about the so-called free gifts from the stall owner had taken on a different meaning.
He glanced at his junior sister's hand and asked her, "Junior sister, what was the free gift the stall owner mentioned earlier?"
Sheng Ning opened her palm and saw two stones lying in her hand.
Yu Ye, standing nearby, exclaimed, "...Damn it!"
I was indeed scammed.
Two stones can be considered a free gift?
Sheng Ning has a special fondness for stones.
She had previously encountered Senior Qingyou in the city of Saluo and obtained two stones from him.
Senior Qingyou also told her that the stone could help her improve her cultivation.
"What happened to Fourth Senior Brother?"
Upon hearing Yu Ye's cursing, Sheng Ning turned around. When Yu Ye saw her looking up at him, he immediately composed himself.
Just as Yu Ye took a deep breath, preparing to take his junior sister to other stalls to see what else they could buy,
A familiar curse rang in the ears of the five fellow disciples.
"What do you mean? I told you I saw this Sun and Moon Stone first, and I was the one who wanted to buy it first. How did it become the property of your Taixu Sect?"
It is Xie Wenxuan.
Sheng Ning and his fellow disciples exchanged glances, and the five of them immediately headed towards Xie Wenxuan's location.
Because the secret realm is about to open, and the opening date is uncertain, everyone wants to gather some protective items before entering the secret realm.
Sun and Moon Stones cannot protect the body, but they can help cultivators improve their cultivation level in a short period of time.
In this way, if cultivators encounter danger, they can escape danger in a short time.
Moreover, the Sun and Moon Stone is rare; it is more like a spirit than a stone.
Such a rare treasure naturally attracted everyone's attention.
Xie Wenxuan stood in the middle of the crowd, the tip of his long sword pointing directly at Xi Zhen's face. "I forgot, the Taixu Sect is not a proper sect at all."
"Now that you've stolen my Sun and Moon Stone, aren't you afraid I'll come knocking on your door to collect the debt one day?"
Xi Zhen was so angry he almost choked.
The Sun and Moon Stones were clearly discovered by Song Bei.
However, Xie Wenxuan was hiding behind them. Upon learning that there was a Sun and Moon Stone ahead, he immediately rushed forward and snatched the treasure before they could.
Now he claims that he was the first to discover the sun and moon stones.
With his hands clenched into fists, Xi Zhen's temples bulged with veins. "It was clearly my junior brother Song who discovered the Sun and Moon Stones first."
Xie Wenxuan is thick-skinned and doesn't care at all about the people around him pointing fingers at him.
Upon hearing what Xi Zhen said, he immediately raised his head and looked down at the other person.
"You're saying that since Song Bei found it first, it's yours? If you call out to it, will it respond?"
