"You can take a look." Dongyan looked at Ji Ling and replied, "But the main thing is that I want to lack the materials for refining the elixir of Samadhi, the thousand-year-old silver thread grass, Wenyuan chalcedony, and Yannian flower."
"Millennium silver thread grass, Wenyuan chalcedony, Yannian flower?" Ji Ling, who called himself Nantianmen Xiaolingtong, repeated the names of these three elixir, then looked at Dongyan and asked: "I don't know the grades of these herbs. I don't quite understand, what is the value of the three medicinal materials you mentioned? If you use gold and silver to calculate, how much gold will it cost?"
Dongyan said: "The value of Yannian flowers is lower, about a thousand taels of silver. Wenyuan chalcedony and thousand-year-old silver thread grass are much rarer. If calculated in terms of gold and silver, they are both more than three thousand gold."
"Three thousand gold?"
When Dongyan said this, not to mention Ji Ling who was countless grades different from the four of them, even Luo Bei was slightly shocked.
Three thousand gold is already a very scary number.
You must know that there have been wars and chaos in the world in the past hundred years. Some laborers, hard labor, and hard work for a year can't earn a few taels of silver. The treasury of many dynasties ranges from hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to as many as several million taels of silver.
But for ascetics, just this medicinal herb is worth three thousand gold. This shows how much financial support is needed for some sects.
Without sufficient financial resources, some alchemy sects who have good alchemy formulas and enough cultivation bases will not be able to make good pills at all.
Especially the higher the cultivation base, the higher the grade, the better the refined things, the higher the cost of the consumed things.
No wonder those sects in Beimang tried their best to rob the tomb and collected so much gold and silver.
On the other hand, sects with many influences and huge sources of financial resources have a lot of advantages over ordinary casual cultivators.
"The three medicinal materials you want are of such high value, they must be rare." Ji Ling calmed down, and said, "I'll find someone to help you spread the news about buying these medicinal materials, so as to save some time. .”
"make an announcement?"
Luobei, Dongyan, Nalan Ruoxue, and Caishu saw Ji Ling beckoning, and a big man in a black satin shirt ran out of the street on one side with a wooden sign in his hand. This big man was tall and very burly, a head taller than Ji Ling. I saw Ji Ling took out a silver note with a face value of one hundred taels and handed it to the big man, and then said a few words to the big man. The big man nodded immediately after saying this, and used a sharp awl to engrave the wooden sign in his hand for a while, then took out a yellow paint bottle, and painted the engraved words into a striking yellow.
I saw the big man holding up the wooden sign high and walking in front of the market and various shops. The eye-catching yellow words on the wooden sign read, "I want to buy thousand-year-old silver thread grass, Wenyuan chalcedony, and Yannian flower, and have an interview."
It turns out that there are generally two ways to release news in this secret city, one is to directly announce the news on some eye-catching bulletin boards, and the other is this big guy. In fact, this big man is also one of the draws. Now Ji Ling sees that the four people in Luobei want to trade for a high value. If the transaction is successful, the commission he will get is also high, so he directly pays a hundred taels. Walk this big man around.
"If the news is published in a fixed place, many people may not necessarily see it. In this way, almost all ascetics in the entire Nantianmen should be able to see it. As long as they have these medicinal materials and are willing to trade them, they should not They will miss it. That person will bring them over to meet us." Ji Ling watched the big man start to walk away with the wooden sign, and then said to Luobei, Ji Dongyan, Nalan Ruoxue and Caishu: "Since you If you still want to take a stroll and see other things, I will show you around first before talking about it.”
…
"Those guys are good at practicing physical skills, and they have a lot of firearms on them. They are dealers who often sell their hands here. Many of the things in their hands are fakes and fakes. And I know most of the things they trade. There shouldn't be anything particularly good about it."
"Those who sell very enthusiastically often don't have any good things, but those who seem a little indifferent, or who look around coldly and don't talk much, may have good things in their hands. Because good things are not afraid to sell Can't do it."
Ji Ling led Luo Bei and the others into an open space where at least fifty ascetics had set up stalls, and said softly to Luo Bei and the others.
However, because we have to wait to see if there is any news about the three elixirs, and it is the first time for Luo Bei and others to come to the Nantianmen Market, the four of Luo Bei are not in a hurry, so they can spread out one by one. Look forward without slowing down.
"Are you guys interested in my golden leather talisman? My golden leather talisman can last for two hours, and ordinary flying swords can't cut it."
"My fireball talisman is a mother-child fireball talisman, which can emit one big fireball and seven small fireballs..."
"...."
At a glance, only a few of the stalls are directly piled with a lot of things, while the vast majority of the stalls are just written with the words "talisman" and "magic weapon" to show that they have something on their body that can be traded.
And Luobei only looked at the stalls set up by the three outermost ascetics, and the things on the stalls of these three ascetics were only low-grade things, but Luobei still had an eye-opening feeling .
You must know that although the grades of the items on these three stalls are not high, many of the items are very peculiar and are rarely seen outside.
Like the golden skin talisman in the hands of the first middle-aged ascetic, it is a kind of talisman that can make the whole body hard, like a talisman covered with a layer of gold shell, but the mother-in-law fireball talisman on the second booth Once it is released, one big fireball and seven small fireballs can be released, and the seven small fireballs can be released a little later, and the appearance of the fireball talisman is exactly the same as that of ordinary fireball talismans. When it looks up, the opponent will think it is an ordinary fireball talisman, and it is easy to hit the trick of seven small fireballs.
There is also a dark green flying sword on the third booth. The outer shell is like black jade, and it can be used as an ordinary flying sword and sword fetus, but the inside is infused with something like phosphorous sand, which can shatter and destroy the opponent's flying sword when it is no match for the opponent's flying sword. sword. When facing the enemy, it is very useful to exchange such a low-level flying sword for the destruction of the opponent's high-level flying sword.
Most of the talismans in the general decent Taoist sect are thunder and fire, but there are not many talismans of this kind of partial sect.
So even if you have stayed in an orthodox Taoist sect for a long time, you probably won't see these weird things.
And while talking with these ascetics and Ji Ling who set up trade stalls, Luobei also found that the grades of magic weapons in this kind of market are also much finer than those outside.
For example, in the past, Luobei was in Shushan, and the saying in Shushan, the general magic weapon is divided into upper, middle and lower levels, and then it is the immortal level, the golden immortal level.
However, in the Nantianmen market, the ranks are subdivided into the ranks of Dharma, Treasure, Spirit, Immortal, and Golden Immortal, and each rank is divided into three ranks.
Fire talismans and thunder talismans, which are generally the lowest level, are the lower level of magic weapons. Only those that are twice as powerful as these talismans can be regarded as the lower level of treasures. Ordinary flying swords are also the lowest level of treasures. Downstairs.
The reason why the division is so detailed, Luobei still thinks that it is because there are very few big sects like Shushan in the world, and for many, many low-level small sects whose combined number exceeds half, it is possible that one of the sects is the most important. Among them, there are not one or two magic weapons that can reach the level of spiritual weapons. Things that are usually insignificant in the big factions are very precious in the eyes of many small factions.
Taking Shushan as an example, the disciples who go out to practice must at least carry a flying sword, and the grade of Shushan's flying sword must be at least the upper level of treasures. Therefore, the classification of magic weapons below treasure vessels is naturally meaningless to Shushan disciples.
"The vast majority of ascetics whose cultivation base is below the golden core stage. Therefore, most of the things traded are of relatively low grade."
Luo Bei thought about this, but suddenly saw a monk wearing a chain armor and a white iron mask covering his entire face not far in front of him. There was nothing on the cloth in the booth in front of him. , but wrote the word "gongfa".
"Cultivation technique?"
With a move in his heart, Luo Bei walked up to the masked monk with only one pair of eyes exposed, and asked without talking nonsense, "What skills do you have?"
This cultivator who doesn't show his face seems to have seen the extraordinary bearing of Luo Bei, Dongyan and others. With his eyes flickering, he asked calmly, "Which series of exercises do you want?"
"It will be all right."
"Oh?" The cultivator glanced at Luobei, but he didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "I have the Golden Wind Jue, the Condensing Fire*, and the Dao of Earth Yuan Dan."
"They are all ordinary exercises." The name reported by the ascetic did not surprise Luo Bei in the slightest.
Luobei knows all the origins of these three exercises. The Golden Wind Jue is one of the main exercises of the Jinfengmen. It is a wind element method that can transform countless golden sword-like winds. The condensing fire* is one of the formulas of the Fire Worship Sect, the fire element formula is slightly more powerful than the golden wind formula, but it can only be regarded as a third-rate formula. But Diyuan Dan Dao is a bit special, it is a formula of the Jingyi Sect that has died out. This art is easy to practice, and it is fast to enter the state. The probability of practicing to the golden core stage is very high, and some of the art are also quite powerful. But this technique is inherently a half-disabled technique, because this technique only reaches the Golden Core stage, that is to say, as long as the talent is good, people who practice this technique may easily reach the Golden Core stage. Dan stage, but it is never possible to cultivate to the Yuanying stage.
So on the contrary, some ascetics who are not talented enough to even reach the golden core stage have practiced this method.
But for Luo Bei and the others, this method is of course useless.
"How to trade these exercises?"
The ascetic with a white iron mask replied: "The Ninghuo* has the original, the original is 50,000 gold, and the copy is 30,000 gold. The Golden Wind Jue and the Diyuan Dan Dao only have the copy, and the copy is 20,000 gold each."
"So expensive?" Originally, Luo Bei just asked casually, but Luo Bei was a little surprised when he heard the price mentioned by the ascetic with a white iron mask.
"The price is still fair." Hearing that Luo Bei said it was expensive, Ji Ling whispered in Luo Bei's ear: "However, this kind of formula can be copied anyway, and you are not afraid of being bought. If you want, you can also buy it." You can go around and see if there is a more suitable formula, there is no rush."
"The price is still fair? So such a formula requires such a price?"
Such thoughts not only flashed through Luo Bei's mind.
Luo Bei doesn't know that formulas are more rare than ordinary materials and talismans, and every formula Luo Bei cultivates can be said to be top-level formulas. In his eyes, these formulas are of course not very good. The same, but for many ordinary ascetics, these formulas are not bad. Some mortals in the world want to use thousands of gold to find the secrets of Taoism, but they may not be able to buy it.
And the price of magic treasures that have been upgraded is much more expensive than ordinary materials, talismans, and elixir.
"It's too expensive? If you don't think it's too expensive, I still have three copies." The man with the white iron mask heard Luo Bei say that it was expensive, and his expression came from the heart. Seen as a monk who is strong on the outside and capable on the inside, he looks good, but in fact he has no real strength. After a cold smile, he reached out and took out three volumes of classics. "These three volumes are much cheaper than what I just said."
"Fire Control Technique"
As soon as he saw the words on the top volume of classics with a red lacquer cover, Luo Bei immediately understood that this person regarded himself as a silver gun wax head with a strong outside but a dry inside. Because this fire control technique can be said to be one of the lowest-level techniques, it doesn't even have the technique of congealing pills, it can only shoot some rockets.
"True Book of Spirits"
But when they saw the words on the last volume of the three volumes that this man took out, the eyes of Luo Bei and the other four brightened.
"How much is the price of this formula?" Luo Bei immediately looked at the man and asked.
The ascetic with a white iron mask looked at Luo Bei with a little surprise, and replied calmly: "The copy is five thousand gold, and the original eight thousand gold."
"Okay." Luo Bei nodded directly, and said, "Eight thousand gold, originally I wanted it."
