Xu Chunniang felt a little relieved. With a powerful late-stage fusion master leading the team, safety was absolutely guaranteed.
We can set off in five days and it won’t take up much time.
"If I want to go with the team, how many spirit crystals do I need to pay?"
"Only one hundred thousand spirit crystals are needed."
One hundred thousand!
Xu Chunniang's face changed slightly. She had less than two thousand spirit crystals on her body, and the other party asked for one hundred thousand, which was undoubtedly an astronomical figure.
“Isn’t this fee too high?”
Hearing that she complained it was too expensive, the middle-aged female cultivator was not annoyed.
She blew on the tea leaves in the cup, took a sip of tea, and continued.
“This caravan is led by a great master in the late stage of fusion. This place is so far away from Hecheng, so charging you 100,000 is not expensive.
If you really can't afford it, you can also choose other caravans in our company, but you will have to wait a little longer."
"What are the prices of other caravans?"
"There are three price ranges in total. The fees are different for team leaders of different levels of fusion stage masters. They are 30,000, 50,000, and 100,000 respectively."
Xu Chunniang frowned slightly. The lowest price was thirty thousand. Unless she sold the Yuanci Divine Mountain, she couldn't afford so many spirit crystals. It was still too expensive.
"Is there a less expensive one?"
The middle-aged female cultivator shook her head and said, "We only have these three types here. You can go to other shops and ask. Maybe they will have cheaper ones."
After leaving, Xu Chunniang turned and went into another trading company to inquire about the caravan heading to Hecheng.
"If we go to Hecheng, it will cost at least 28,000. There is no other way. The journey is too long. Without a fusion stage cultivator in charge, the entire caravan may not be able to reach Hecheng."
I asked several businesses, and only one offered the lowest price.
"The minimum amount is 10,000 spirit crystals. You can go to Hecheng with the caravan, but there is no guarantee that you can arrive safely. The leader of the caravan is a cultivator in the late stage of the Void Refining Stage."
After leaving the company, Xu Chunniang smiled bitterly.
Although the price of the caravan was much cheaper than the teleportation array, it was still something she could not afford.
She never expected that one day she would worry about money again.
As a monk about to serve in the army, he may not necessarily die on the way to the battlefield, but he is very likely to be robbed.
If she was penniless, she would have nothing to worry about. People with bare feet are not afraid of those wearing shoes. Even if she was robbed, the loss would be limited.
But no matter whether it is a small walnut or a small branch, the quality is not low.
The little walnut had already been integrated into her soul, but who knew what methods the high-level cultivators had? Maybe someone could really see the existence of the little walnut.
Apart from the small walnut, if her life-saving magic weapon, the small branch, was stolen, the loss would be something she could not afford.
There is also the evolved Meteorite Heart Flame. If it is noticed by high-level cultivators, they might forcibly strip it away.
Xu Chunniang sighed quietly. It seemed that if she wanted to reach Hecheng safely and smoothly, she could only sell the Yuanci Divine Mountain and raise money to join the caravan.
She glanced at the shops on both sides of the street and walked into the largest medicine shop.
The main items sold in the Immortal Medicine Shop are various kinds of spiritual medicines and herbs, but other spiritual materials are also sold.
It has a good reputation and the purchase price is fair, but its vision and requirements are relatively high and it will not accept ordinary spiritual materials.
After entering the fairy medicine shop and explaining her purpose, she was invited into a tea room.
Afterwards, an old man in black at the Nascent Soul stage walked into the tea room. Seeing that Xu Chunniang was only at the initial stage of the Spirit Transformation stage, he did not look down on her.
"I wonder what kind of spiritual object you came up with?"
"Magnetic Mysterious Stone."
Hearing that what she was going to give away was only a fourth-level spiritual object, the old man in black shook his head.
"I'm sorry, the quality of the Yuanci Xuanshi is too low. Our Immortal Medicine Shop does not accept it. You should ask somewhere else."
After saying that, he stood up and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute! I want to offer more than just a magnetic black stone."
The old man in black robe remained unmoved and refused again.
"No matter how many Yuanci Xuanshi we have, they are only level 4 spiritual objects. Our Immortal Medicine Shop is not short of low-level spiritual objects."
But when he was about to step out of the room, a voice rang out.
"What if what I want to take out is the Yuanci Divine Mountain?"
"Yuanci Divine Mountain?"
The old man in black paused, turned around and looked at her, "Are you talking about a mountain made of magnetic black stones?"
"That's right. I wonder if this Yuanci Divine Mountain can catch the eye of the Immortal Medicine Pavilion?"
The old man in black hesitated for a moment and sat back down opposite Xu Chunniang.
"I wonder how many pieces of Yuanci Xuanshi are there in the Yuanci Divine Mountain you mentioned? Please let me know in advance. If there are less than 300 pieces, we still won't accept it."
Half an hour later, Xu Chunniang left the medicine shop contentedly.
Although she lost the Yuanci Divine Mountain, she now had an extra 100,000 spirit crystals in her hands.
There were more than two thousand Yuanci Xuan Stones in the Yuanci Divine Mountain that was sold.
If you sell the Yuanci Xuanshi alone, you can only exchange it for 50,000 to 60,000 spirit crystals, and more importantly, you can't sell so many in a short period of time.
The price of selling the entire Yuanci Divine Mountain is almost double that of selling it individually.
As expected of a fairy medicine shop, although they have high standards, the price they offer is indeed not low once they like something.
With these 100,000 spirit crystals, you can choose almost any caravan.
After a little thought, Xu Chunniang went to the first trading company, paid 30,000 spirit crystals, and secured a place.
The one who received her was still the middle-aged female cultivator from before. After accepting the spirit crystal, she gave Xu Chunniang a jade talisman.
"This caravan will be led by a great master in the early stage of fusion. It will set off in half a month and is expected to arrive in Hecheng within four months."
Xu Chunniang put away the jade talisman, wrote down the departure time, and left the business.
There is still half a month before departure, which is a good time to take a walk around the city, prepare some elixirs and talismans, and buy a few handy magical instruments.
Hecheng is close to the battlefield, and all kinds of consumable elixirs, talismans, and magical instruments will only become more expensive. Instead of waiting until you get to Hecheng to buy them, you might as well buy them now.
More than 70,000 spirit crystals is not a small amount of money, it can buy a lot of things.
Xu Chunniang walked into a shop slightly smaller than the fairy medicine shop, and someone came to greet her immediately.
"Fairy, what do you want to buy?"
"Level 5 talismans and restorative elixirs."
"Does the fairy have any requirements for the quality of the talisman? The price of a low-grade talisman ranges from one thousand to two thousand spirit crystals. The price of a mid-grade or high-grade talisman will be more expensive."
Xu Chunniang was not surprised by the price.
The spiritual paper and spiritual ink that can be used to make a fifth-level talisman cost at least two to three hundred spiritual crystals, and the material cost alone would be several hundred.
The level of the magical power sealed in the talisman will not be lower than level five.
"What is the price of a top-grade talisman?"
"As for the top-grade talismans, the cheapest one, the Burning Heaven Talisman, costs two thousand spirit crystals, and the most expensive one, the Teleportation Talisman, costs three thousand spirit crystals. It can teleport one thousand miles in a certain direction, or teleport randomly to a place three thousand miles away."
The space in the spiritual world is extremely stable and can be randomly teleported to a place three thousand miles away, which can be considered a life-saving item.
However, unlike low-level talismans that can be activated instantly, in order to successfully activate a fifth-level talisman, not only does one need to inject spiritual energy into it, but it also takes some time.
In a life-and-death battle, this little bit of time can be fatal.
