The middle-aged fat monk could only stand opposite with a smile on his face. As Li Yan's gaze moved, he kept recalling the origin and function of each item in his mind.
He waited for Li Yan to ask questions at any time so that he could give the clearest explanation as soon as possible.
Soon, Li Yan pointed to a few animal bones in the corner of the yellow cloth, and then looked up at the middle-aged fat monk.
"Senior, this is the bone of a second-level double-winged flying bear, which is used to refine earth-based spiritual tools and magic weapons. Although the grade is not bad, the most important thing here is that it contains a stream of blood essence. You really have a keen eye..."
The middle-aged fat monk was waiting on the side. When he saw Li Yan looking up at him, he immediately introduced him quickly.
However, he was also puzzled in his heart. This was just the skeleton of a second-level monster, which did not hold much significance for the cultivation of a Jindan cultivator.
But these pieces of beast are actually the best among his refining raw materials.
After all, there is still a trace of the essence and blood of the two-winged flying bear left in it, which can make the refined spiritual weapon or magic weapon more powerful and can exert extremely strong earth-based magic.
Of course, the so-called "extremely strong" here is only for the foundation-building cultivators. He really admired Li Yan's eyesight. With just a glance, he could see that this bone was extraordinary among the pile of things.
He thought that this Jindan cultivator should be chosen for use by disciples, nephews, or younger generations, but he did not dare to ask and introduced him honestly.
If the person standing opposite at this moment is a Qi Condensation or Foundation Establishment cultivator, then the effect of the bone he mentioned would be different, at least more than twice as great.
At this moment, the middle-aged fat monk didn't dare to talk nonsense at all. He could only flatter and say what he meant.
Li Yan just listened quietly until the middle-aged fat monk finished speaking. He did not speak immediately, but scanned the monk's mind repeatedly several times before muttering to himself.
"The fluctuation of that essence and blood power is not weak, so it is quite suitable for him (her) to use... Then how many spirit stones are needed for these four bones?"
Li Yan seemed to be whispering to himself in the first half of the sentence, but he suddenly raised his voice in the second half and looked at the middle-aged fat monk again.
And all his words fell into the other party's ears without any error, and the middle-aged fat monk's mind moved.
"Sure enough, I bought it for my younger generation..."
However, a look of hesitation appeared on his face, and after another four or five breaths, he nervously quoted a price.
After hearing the other party's offer, Li Yan's expression did not change at all, and he did not express his opinion immediately. He did not say whether he would buy it or not, but instead looked around the stalls again.
This made the middle-aged fat monk sweat a lot on his forehead. Not only did the other party not say whether he would buy it or not, but he also did not comment on whether the price he offered was appropriate.
This made him a little confused about what the other party meant. Did he report a high price and the other party was unhappy, or did he report a low price and the other party mistakenly thought that he had a fake item.
He was a disciple of a small family, and the reason he was able to get these things and sell them was because he was smart and good at handling things.
He was quite trusted by some people in the family. After collecting the belongings of some disciples in the family, he sold them together with his own things and could get some commission every time.
This kind of thing is actually not uncommon here. After all, if you want to set up a stall here, you have to pay a stall fee. It is of course best if one person can rent the stall and sell the goods, as long as you trust that the other party will not cheat you.
The middle-aged fat monk was of course very happy to have customers come to his stall, but he was afraid of meeting someone who had a higher level of cultivation than him but was very quiet.
This kind of person is often a bit extreme in character, and will take it upon themselves to take revenge on you if something goes wrong. The look on Li Yan's face made him even more afraid to speak nonsense.
"What is that thing? Why is there no spiritual energy fluctuation? Are you selling mortal things here?"
At this moment, Li Yan's eyes fell on a red portable lantern, which looked like a bamboo covered with red paper.
The lantern itself had several holes in it, and you could vaguely see some traces of black candle wax remaining on the base.
The red portable lantern is not big, about the thickness of a finger, with only a one-foot-long thin bamboo pole extending out.
The handle itself also looks very old, with mottled fine lines on it, and some of the bamboo skin has fallen off, revealing the fine vertical bamboo grains and black oily mud inside.
"Senior, this is definitely not something that comes from a mortal. It was obtained from a monster's lair on the 'Heavenly Monster Grassland'. Although it has no spiritual energy, it cannot be destroyed by soaking in water or burning!
But senior, the water and fire that are not damaged here only means... it only means that the water and fire spells used by the Qi Condensation cultivators cannot damage it. Then... then the few damaged places above are the ones that were damaged after the Foundation Establishment cultivators tested it.
Although it is not a very good spiritual weapon, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can use. I can guarantee this!"
The middle-aged fat monk hurriedly explained that although he had many inferior and fake things for sale, he would never dare to use mortal things to cheat here.
He would come here often, and didn't want anyone to notice him. It was okay for the items to have different grades, but they could only be things from the immortals, or simply items that he couldn't understand.
This hand-held red lantern was obtained by one of his cousins by chance when he teamed up with others to collect money on the edge of the "Tian Yao Grassland" six or seven years ago.
But after I got it back, I studied it but didn't get anything out of it. Instead, it became even more damaged.
This item is of no use to a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage. His cousin thought it would be a pity to throw it away, so he could sell it to a cultivator in the Qi Condensation Stage.
This kind of thing whose purpose is unpredictable is actually a possible treasure imagined by some young cultivators in the Qi Condensation Stage.
There are still people who are willing to spend spirit stones to buy it, and then go back and continue to try and research using various methods in the hope of opening a hidden treasure house.
However, the middle-aged fat monk also studied it for a long time, but also gained nothing. He brought this item back again and again for several years, but was unable to sell it, and finally threw it aside.
"Oh, we got a monster's nest. What level of monster is that?"
Li Yan asked seemingly casually.
"this… "
The middle-aged fat monk showed hesitation on his face, as if he was thinking about how to answer.
"Okay, this is the spirit stone, I want those four monster bones!"
Li Yan looked away the moment the middle-aged fat monk hesitated, as if he understood the reason for his hesitation, and then stopped looking at the red lantern.
Instead, he waved his hand, and dozens of low-level spirit stones appeared on the stall. Then, with a wave of his hand, the four bones he had seen flying up immediately, and the next moment they fell into his sleeves. Then, he turned around and walked away. "Senior, please stay, you misunderstood, you misunderstood!
That nest might be the nest of a third-level monster, but the aura left in it is very weak. It is very likely that the former owner of the place has died outside, so the things in the cave were left behind.
Since the aura emitted is too weak, it is possible that it is the cave of a second-level monster, so the level of the monster cannot be truly determined.
But this lantern is definitely not a worldly thing. If you find it interesting, then fifteen low-grade spirit stones will be enough..."
The middle-aged fat monk quickly spoke up, trying to keep Li Yan. They couldn't figure out what was special about this thing, so of course he wanted to sell it as soon as possible as long as someone asked about it.
"Five Spiritual Stones!"
Li Yan turned around and paused slightly. He did not look back, but continued to walk forward and was about to merge into the vast crowd.
"Senior, Senior, ten low-grade spirit stones, ten will do, no less, at least it is a spirit tool-level item..."
The middle-aged fat monk felt a little anxious when he saw it, but the five spirit stones given by the other party were too few, so he hurriedly spoke again.
As he was speaking, his eyes blurred and ten spirit stones appeared on the stall, while the red lantern disappeared.
When the middle-aged fat monk looked up again, he could not see the other person among the crowd. He quickly put away all the spirit stones, and after a careful check with his spiritual sense, a smile slowly bloomed on his face...
Li Yan was walking in the crowd, still thinking about something in his mind.
"I think my induction is correct. There is a very faint aura on this object. This aura is neither spiritual energy nor soul power...
Maybe others can detect it as well, but it is difficult to know what it is. It is a breath that is somewhat similar to the 'Stealing Sky Handkerchief'.
It’s just that the ‘Heaven-stealing Cloth’ is very strong, and it is extremely difficult for cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage to damage it. But the young cultivator said that even a Foundation Establishment cultivator could destroy this portable red lantern, so it is too easy to damage…”
Li Yan thought quickly. He didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing in the market.
It goes without saying how magical the "Heaven-Stealing Scarf" is. Although it may not be able to break all the formations in the world, at least it has accompanied Li Yan all the way and helped him overcome too many difficulties.
Such as the cave restrictions of the three island masters of the "Qionglin Sect", the passage restrictions of Meng Zhiyuan's trapped enemies, and... the cave restrictions of the female cultivator of the Black Demon Clan who was chasing her...
Some thoughts flashed through Li Yan's mind quickly, but suddenly a graceful and attractive body and some erotic and hot pictures appeared in his mind.
Li Yan was stunned by this sudden association, and then he felt it was too absurd. How could he think of that person when he was thinking about this unknown item he had collected
He immediately collected his thoughts and thought again about the portable red lantern. He walked over because he sensed that familiar breath.
Although he was not sure whether he had sensed it wrong, he still decided to buy it, so he joked with the other party and bought the portable red lantern while buying the raw bone materials...
Afterwards, Li Yan did not rush back to study the portable red lantern, but continued to stroll around the free market.
After he really took a fancy to some raw materials for alchemy and refining, he bought some more. It was not until more than an hour later that he walked back to the "Shuiyunjian" Inn.
Enter the inn and walk through the fairyland-like courtyard.
He quickly arrived outside the fence where he lived and took a look at the room next to it where Shangguan Tianque lived. The fence remained the same, so Li Yan immediately withdrew his gaze. He didn't want to go over to look for the other party.
Just as he was about to enter his room, he suddenly turned around and looked.
Then, Li Yan turned around calmly again, waved the jade pendant in his hand lightly, opened the fence and wall, and in a burst of white mist, he entered his room.
The black-robed woman with a half silver mask leaned sideways and glanced at the rolling white mist on the opposite side. Her tightly furrowed delicate brows relaxed slightly. It was such a coincidence that she met the man in green twice when she went in and out.
Somehow, the other person's indifferent expression and the look he gave her made this woman feel as if she was being stared at by a ferocious beast, which made her very uncomfortable.
"This person is not a good person. I wonder how many people he has killed to have such a frightening aura..."
While the masked woman was thinking, she also stepped into the fog with her long legs, and her figure was submerged!
After Li Yan entered the room, he closed the door again, walked directly to the area where the futon was placed, and sat down cross-legged.
As his spiritual consciousness moved, a brocade handkerchief and a portable red lantern appeared in front of him, quietly floating in the air.
Li Yan first used his spiritual consciousness to carefully observe the red lantern in his hand. For a moment, the room fell into a dead silence, and even Li Yan's breathing disappeared.
He observed this for more than half an hour, and then his consciousness probed into the "Heaven-stealing Handkerchief". Then, those disordered and dizzying silk threads appeared again in his consciousness...
After dozens of breaths, Li Yan stretched out his hand and grabbed the red lantern into his hand. Without blinking, he began to scan the mottled pole carefully, not missing any details.
He was certain that although the red lantern in his hand did not have any spiritual fluctuations, nor did it have the so-called soul power like the broken pottery jar, the overall aura it exuded was indeed somewhat similar to the "Heaven-Stealing Scarf".
But when he carefully explored it inch by inch, something unexpected happened. He found that the auras disappeared again. Li Yan became suspicious and wondered if he had been sensing it wrong all along.
But when he no longer carefully explored every detail, no longer checked it inch by inch, but instead used his spiritual sense to observe the entire red lantern from a distance, that breath appeared again.
"Isn't this strange? You can only sense that breath from a distance, but it disappears when you look closely, giving people a feeling of not knowing its true face and being born in it. But how can we investigate it in detail like this?"
After thinking for a while, Li Yan finally chose to use his eyes to infuse magic power to explore, instead of using his spiritual sense to enter the inside of the red lantern.
With eyes infused with magic power, he now looked at the mottled lantern in his hand. The patterns on it, and even the dust and ash between the bamboo grains, were all clearly visible.
Li Yan held the pole with one hand and gently rotated the lantern to different angles with the other hand, not missing any place. There were no ears on the lantern. Li Yan first looked carefully at the lamp rope holding the pole.
The lamp cord was a short, round, smooth red rope that looked a bit greasy. Li Yan could tell that it was probably caused by the fascia in the monster's body, but it had already lost its spiritual energy.
If you pull it with a little force, you will find it is still quite tough. However, this kind of toughness is almost non-existent for Li Yan.
The dragon skeleton of the lantern is made of forty-nine monster bones. These monster bones are black in color. When you touch them, you can feel a slight warmth coming from them, and they have good toughness.
Li Yan estimated that the magic power of the Jindan realm should be able to break these dragon bones.
