Chapter 103: Spirit Stone Just when she was so busy that she didn't know what year it was...
Just when she was so busy that she didn't know what year it was, time passed quietly and a messenger bird knocked on the barrier of her cave.
It was a message from Wei Muheng, informing her that the time to enter the secret realm was almost up and it was time to come out.
Xu Hui was puzzled. Isn't there still more than a month left? Could there be something else?
When he opened the cave and came out, he saw Wei Mubai walking out from the next door and asked hurriedly.
"For the trade and auction," Wei Mubai explained, "the various aristocratic families have made ample preparations to enter the secret realm, exchanging a large amount of supplies. However, these were all custom-made items for their children. Besides that, they may need something else. So, the various aristocratic families have decided to hold a month-long trade and auction in Quxian City during the final month. This time, the aristocratic families will not hold back and will bring out their treasured possessions. As long as you can afford it, you can trade."
Xu Hui understood that this was a good time to collect precious materials. It was possible to see good things that you couldn't see normally this time.
But at the same time, everyone takes out their precious collections in order to exchange them for good things that suit them, help them grab resources and save their lives, so the prices will only be higher than usual.
Because you never know whether the item you like will be bought by someone else because the price is not right.
So you have to earn more spirit stones, and then good things will naturally sell for a higher price!
At this stage, no one will keep anything to themselves unless they really need it, otherwise they will give it up in exchange for something more useful to them.
After all, no one knows what the new secret realm is like, and there is a high chance of dying, but no one is willing to give up.
Perhaps this is his only chance to become an immortal!
Even if you have to empty your pockets, you still have to prepare enough supplies.
This trade fair is something that is rarely seen in hundreds of years. Moreover, it is led by the ten major families, and thousands of families and sects, large and small, participate in it. It is a rare spectacle. It would be a waste of opportunity if you don’t go to see it.
"In addition to the trading house, there will be tens of thousands of auctions of all sizes, of all types. If you are interested, you can go and have a look," said Wei Mubai.
Xu Hui's eyes lit up. An auction? To be able to hold an auction outside of such a grand trade fair, the items must be very precious and can broaden one's horizons.
"Then I will use points to exchange for more spirit stones." Points are naturally the most common method of communication in the Wei family, but for other families, spirit stones are naturally the most convenient.
Wei Mubai nodded. As soon as they arrived at the trading hall, they saw countless disciples queuing up.
Even though most people here will not enter the secret realm, this trade fair is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to exchange for supplies that are more suitable for your own practice, and you must not miss it.
So regardless of whether one can enter the secret realm or not, the entire cultivation world has been mobilized.
The Wei family's trading hall has expandable space. There are 10,000 tables inside, where people are constantly exchanging spirit stones and supplies. There are hundreds of people queuing in front of each table.
Yes, not everyone is using points or items to exchange for spirit stones. There are many smart people who will exchange good items from the Wei family’s inventory and take them to the trade fair.
Let me put it this way, the price list for the Wei family's transactions remains unchanged, the same as before, and those things can be taken to the trade fair and exchanged with other people to increase the price. How much profit you make depends on your ability and whether you can find someone who just needs it.
But the price will definitely go up. It’s a ready-made opportunity to make some spirit stones. You’d be a fool not to take it!
In particular, the Wei family's advantage is elixirs. Elixirs for entering the secret realm are definitely hard currency. There are all kinds of elixirs with various functions that are needed by cultivators and they are purchased at high prices.
Exchange it here and sell it to make a fortune!
Therefore, although the trading hall was in an uproar, only a few people actually exchanged for spirit stones.
The Wei family didn't mind them exchanging all the supplies and pills, because what the family needed had already been reserved in advance. These were the ones to clear the inventory and the batch prepared for this year.
In addition, at the trade fair, the Wei family also sent special personnel to purchase and stockpile new ones.
One is to exchange old items for new ones, and the other is to purchase supplies that are more suitable for the Wei family.
Some things in the warehouse have been stored for hundreds of years. Replacing them with more needed items is also a way to deal with them.
During this process, the Wei family will not suffer any loss, but will make a lot of money. Even the inventory will increase, because they have hard currency elixirs.
Although there are other alchemists, the Wei family definitely has the most complete and best quality elixirs, especially high-level elixirs, which are hard to come by.
This time, for the sake of the secret realm, the alchemists of the Wei family worked at full capacity and spent a whole year refining the medicine. The quantity was so large that it was not an exaggeration to describe it as piling up like a mountain. If they didn't sell it, the Wei family themselves would not be able to use it all.
The orders from other companies have been sold at the original price, and the remaining ones are specially reserved for the disciples to generate income.
What's more, the top-grade rejuvenation pills and top-grade qi-replenishing pills refined by Wei Mubai are powerful weapons!
It is impossible for all the two hundred given to the noble families to be exchanged for top-grade spirit stones. They are reluctant to use top-grade spirit stones for exchange. Then, such a heaven-defying item must be exchanged for top-grade materials.
Only when it is put up for auction and everyone bids on it, will the top-grade spirit stones be used.
For these two kinds of elixirs, the Wei family plans to hold a separate auction. Those who receive the invitation are either the leaders of the aristocratic families or the big guys above the Spirit Severing stage.
Otherwise, even if you grab it, you won’t be able to protect it when you get out!
Getting back to the topic, Wei Mubai took her around the trading hall and came to the attic at the back, where various transactions were also taking place.
Unlike before, the people here are all cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage, so it is much quieter, and every transaction can be called a large-scale transaction.
Because more than half of the people here have the opportunity to enter the secret realm. As for who goes and who doesn’t in the end, it depends on luck!
Yes, it depends on chance!
The Wei family has a treasure called the Clever Mirror. The clever thing about it is that it can determine good and bad luck. It is very useless but also very interesting.
It is said to be a treasure, so it is hung on the door frame at the entrance of the Wei family's immortal palace, and anyone entering or leaving can take a photo.
It only shows good or bad luck, and its success rate is less than 10%.
The reason is very simple. If things seem bad when you go out, then turn back and get some magic weapons to improve your defense, and it will turn into good luck.
Those who show signs of danger may not necessarily return safely, so just be vigilant.
The sign "good luck" does not mean everything is fine. If you relax, you will end up in trouble.
So it actually only serves as a reminder, and the good and bad luck will change from time to time.
It doesn't mean that it is useless, because at that moment, it did tell whether it was "good luck" or "bad luck".
Such a simple, time-limited effect that can change at any time is of little use as a reminder to the monks.
Therefore, although it is a treasure, the Wei family hangs it openly at the door and only uses it as a distinguisher.
At the moment of departure, in the same batch, whoever shows 'lucky' will go, and whoever shows 'unlucky' will wait for the next opportunity.
It is so simple and crude, but everyone agrees that after all, 'good' is better than 'bad', right?
So, it depends on chance!
Because no one knows what the mechanical mirror bases its judgment on, how it judges, and whether it is wrong?
So whether you get selected or not really depends on luck, but one thing is for sure: the more prepared you are, the safer you will be, there is no doubt about that.
So even if half of the people have to stay, almost everyone will come to exchange supplies.
Wei Mubai found a place specifically for exchanging high-quality spirit stones. After waiting for a while, it was their turn.
Top-grade spirit stones cannot be exchanged and can only be obtained with the approval of the Wei family head and the Wei young master. However, there is no such restriction for high-grade spirit stones.
Wei Mubai directly exchanged his points for 100 million spirit stones, which left Xu Hui stunned.
He is really rich!
One hundred million high-grade spirit stones are equivalent to one trillion low-grade spirit stones!
And these are not all his points. Xu Hui just took a glance and saw a long string of zeros on the account, which was just exchanged... a hundred times!
It's just... outrageous!
Does the Wei family have so many spirit stones to give him?
Wei Mubai chuckled, "Fifty million high-grade spirit stones for the Cave Mansion."
...Well, the prices are outrageous too.
So, his current points are after spending a huge sum of money... He is really rich!
Xu Hui almost drooled, but when she checked her points, she couldn't help but widen her eyes. Really, she never thought that she could be so rich!
One, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand... With her points, she can exchange them for one hundred million high-quality spirit stones!
"Where did so much come from?" she was surprised.
"You have contributed to the inheritance of the "Spiritual Art", puppetry, and formation techniques, as well as research on planting formation plates and growing medicinal herbs," Wei Mubai explained briefly.
The main contribution was planting array plates and top-grade spiritual medicines, which was her sole achievement, so naturally she had a lot of points.
In addition, the medicinal herbs, spiritual fruits and vegetables grown by the puppets in the planting space were all exchanged for points by her, which was also a considerable amount.
As mentioned before, the planting space is the private collection of the Wei family's descendants. No matter who it is given to, it is private property.
So whatever is planted inside is Xu Hui's thing.
She is willing to take it out, that's her own wish!
Selling medicinal plants and other crops to the Wei family will naturally be exchanged for points. Providing medicinal materials to Wei Mubai, refining them into pills, and giving them to the family will naturally also be exchanged for points.
Only those given to the head and wife of the Wei family, Wei Muheng, and Wei Muyan, can be considered private gifts.
Wei Mubai had discussed this with Xu Hui in advance and obtained her consent.
This time into the secret realm, the Wei family was led by Wei Mubai, with Wei Muheng staying behind as the young master. The head and wife of the Wei family took their daughter into the secret realm to seek opportunities. Mrs. Wei's health had finally recovered, and she was seeking a breakthrough.
Wei Muyan needs this opportunity more to narrow the gap with the geniuses of the same age.
The head of the Wei family came in to protect the mother and daughter.
Wei Mubai was personally invited by Yi Qingxue, the discoverer of the secret realm, so it was impossible for him to be left behind.
When Wei Mubai goes in, he must bring Xu Hui with him.
Therefore, from the lineage of the Wei family head, only Wei Muheng could stay behind. Fortunately, he learned the art of deduction, which was his opportunity and no one else could snatch it away. Even if he was not the first batch to enter the secret realm, he would have his own fortune in the future.
This is the unique advantage that his family has.
In other words, it is also a bondage, a unique opportunity that separates them from the entire world. Isn't it the law of nature that separates them from others?
Since all the members of the Wei family except Wei Muheng are going this time, Wei Mubai naturally has to prepare enough of the top-grade elixirs for his parents and sister.
Xu Hui had no objection. She was not short of points, so why should she care about this?
But even if we exclude the money given to them, we still made a lot of money, so we didn’t suffer any loss at all!
Xu Hui suddenly realized, "After all, everything I used before was provided by you, and all the money I earned is here, right?"
Wei Mubai smiled without saying anything, "How much do you want to exchange?"
