Chapter 164: Purchasing
"This is the Nixia Ghost Market."
Liu Yaodong stood in front of a city wall and said to Wang Yan.
Looking at the densely packed stalls under the city wall, Wang Yan felt quite speechless after being greatly shocked.
Different from the secret location he imagined, Nixia Ghost Market was open and open at the junction of Song and Yan countries.
On both sides of the city wall at the junction, it was like a country market, with many monks setting up stalls or purchasing resources.
Shouting and shouting came and went.
It is simply more pyrotechnic than an ordinary market.
This made Wang Yan, who was accustomed to the ghost market style that he wanted to hide underground, feel inexplicably insecure.
"Aren't you afraid of being targeted by the big sects here?"
Wang Ha couldn't help but ask.
Liu Yaodong was not surprised and said: "This place is located at the junction of the two countries. The location is relatively sensitive. The major sects of the two countries are afraid of unnecessary friction. Therefore, this place has become one of the few places in the two countries that can be displayed openly. A ghost market on the table."
"Because this is the place where resources between the two countries are most closely exchanged, many good things that are rarely encountered in daily life can be traded." "
So there are many casual cultivators who have traveled thousands of miles to come here, even some sects The monks will also come here quietly to trade."
"Of course, in order to ensure the interests of the sect, the Nixia Ghost Market can only be opened once a year for three days at a time. If you miss these three days, you will have to wait for one year. After that."
Wang Hao nodded slightly when he heard the words. Although he was still a little confused, it generally made sense.
From time to time, there are monks wearing standard robes looking around, and if they find someone disrupting the ghost market, they will take action without hesitation.
Soon, Wang Yan's eyes were attracted by each stall.
Many of the monks setting up stalls had obscure auras, and even he could not tell the specific level of cultivation.
Wang Ba couldn't help asking about Liu Yaodong.
Liu Yaodong, a local snake, did know a lot and explained immediately.
It turns out that the monks who set up stalls here need to pay a stall fee and deposit at the ghost market management office. After paying, they can borrow a hidden magic weapon from them. Under the golden elixir, no one can normally do it. You can see his identity and cultivation level.
Wang Hao immediately went to the ghost market management office and wanted to apply for a stall.
It doesn't matter whether he sells the goods or not, the main thing is the sense of security brought by the hidden magic weapon.
However, what disappointed him was that since today was the first day of the market, all the stalls had been rented out, and all the hidden magic weapons bound to the stalls had been borrowed.
Liu Yaodong, on the other hand, surprised Wang Ba. Perhaps because of the local snake, he had quite a network among some Qi Refining monks, and he actually got two sets of inferior concealment magic weapons.
Although it cannot block the prying eyes of the foundation-building monks, it can avoid the Qi-refining monks.
Wang Hao did not refuse Liu Yaodong's kindness and put it on him. It was better than nothing.
But I have to say that this Nixia Ghost Market really opened Wang Yan's eyes.
They sell everything. In addition to mainstream monk three-piece sets such as magic weapons, elixirs, and talismans, there are also various slaves, Taoist soldiers, puppets, spiritual beasts, spells, elixirs, spiritual materials, spiritual materials, and spiritual beasts. food, special resources, etc.
There is even a monk who sells secret information about other ghost markets.
But this is not an exaggeration. The most exaggerated thing is that a middle-aged monk who is said to be the leader of a sect is planning to package and sell all the members of his sect, as well as the disciples stationed in the sect.
Just to get a third-level elixir that can condense the golden elixir - Xuanyuan Huanzhen elixir.
"For a monk, breaking through the realm of enlightenment and becoming immortal are the greatest long-cherished wish. If the sect cannot keep up, it will be a drag. Although Si Hongfei's move is a bit cruel, it still maintains the true intention of a monk. "
A onlookers Foundation Establishment monk commented.
Immediately attracted some people's agreement.
When Wang Bao heard this, he couldn't help but shook his head secretly.
He really couldn't agree with this statement.
But everyone has their own ambitions, and he won't argue.
Anyway, in a different place, if he were the head of a sect, even if he felt that the sect was a hindrance, at most he would abdicate in favor of others and pursue the road alone.
I will never use my disciples as a means of advancement.
But what surprised Wang Ba was that someone actually made an offer to buy Si Hongfei's sect.
It's just that they don't need a sect to be stationed there, only the disciples within it.
Si Hongfei was very pleasantly surprised, and immediately started negotiating with the mysterious monk who bought his sect.
Wang Hao's eyes narrowed slightly as he watched this scene.
Not surprisingly, this mysterious monk is probably a member of the devil's path.
And the ending of this sect’s disciples can also be imagined.
But he had no intention of blocking the rescue.
It is important for a person to be self-aware, but he knows that he is not capable of this.
If you want to take care of this kind of thing, you really don’t have the ability to take care of it.
Watched the excitement.
Wang Yan didn't waste any time and scanned the stalls one by one.
Although these stalls are not specifically divided into levels, you can vaguely see the level of cultivation of the stall owners just by looking at the items they sell.
Wang Yan soon stopped at a stall selling magical instruments.
Others were picking over the magical artifacts and asking the stall owners for prices.
Wang Ba's consciousness swept over the first- and second-level magic weapons, and he could faintly detect the bloody aura on them.
Obviously the origin is not clean.
But this is normal among casual cultivators.
"May I ask what the price of this magic weapon is?"
Wang Yan asked, pointing to a magic robe on the stall.
The stall owner was a female cultivator of unknown age. She was bargaining with a Qi Refining monk with a cold face. After hearing this, she glanced at Wang Hao and noticed the foundation-building aura on Wang Hao. She immediately finished negotiating the price with a look on her face. He put on a smile and said:
"Tao Friendly, the defensive power of this robe is definitely top-notch among the second-level mid-grade. It is the best magic weapon I have here, and the price is not expensive. As long as it's One hundred and thirty pieces of medium-grade spiritual stones."
Wang Hao sighed slightly after hearing this.
The price is indeed not expensive.
If it were placed in Chen Country, it would probably cost twenty or thirty yuan of mid-grade spiritual stones.
Of course, maybe because this is a no-cost transaction, it is normal for the price to be lower.
Wang Ba didn't have many spiritual stones on his body. He had already spent almost all of them in the previous markets. However, he still had a lot of spiritual chicken essence and spiritual turtle essence in his storage bag. He immediately took out some and mixed them with the female nun. After some discussion.
The female cultivator felt the effect of the spiritual chicken essence, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Then he simply exchanged this second-level mid-grade robe for four pots of spirit chicken essence.
"Fellow Taoist, this spiritual food is extraordinary. I have taken some in the past, but it is not pure. It is mixed with a lot of spiritual materials. Although the spiritual energy is not inferior, the vitality and blood contained in it are far behind. ."
The female cultivator said sincerely.
Wang Ba was not surprised when he heard this.
His spiritual chicken essence is made from a large number of spiritual chickens. Except for the addition of spiritual materials during preparation, it is extremely pure after that.
It is difficult for most of the spiritual food makers on the market to be able to produce a large number of spiritual chickens for production on a large scale like Wang Yan.
In order to ensure the output, some other spiritual materials that are harmless to monks and can also provide spiritual energy will naturally be added.
However, whether it is the speed of refining and absorption or the energy, blood and essence contained in it, there will naturally be a huge difference.
This was something that even the Dongsheng Sect, which had raised many spiritual chickens in the past, found difficult to achieve.
After all, the 'Extreme Blood Pill' that purifies the bloodline of rare chickens is extremely rare, and it is unreliable to breed spiritual chickens solely based on the pitiful reproductive efficiency of spiritual chickens.
The Dongsheng Sect has been able to accumulate so many spiritual chickens over the years, which is considered a good way to cultivate them.
Therefore, for most people, spiritual food is only a resource to assist practice, and the mainstream practice resources are still elixirs and some elixirs.
After exchanging transmission notes with the female cultivator, Wang Yan put away the second-level mid-grade robe and immediately began to refine it.
Afterwards, he started visiting the stalls one by one.
"Quick! Someone is buying the Foundation Establishment Pill over there!"
"What?! There are people selling these? What's the price?"
"Hurry and have a look. I heard that it's not just the Foundation Establishment Pill, there are other second-level elixirs!"
The crowd became anxious inexplicably, and many Qi Refining Realm monks hurriedly ran in one direction.
Wang Hao also took a look and listened to the stall owner introducing the effects of the pills one by one, and suddenly gained a lot of knowledge.
Only then did I learn that although most elixirs contain erysipelas, there are also some niche schools that specialize in developing elixirs without erysipelas.
It's just that the effects of these elixirs are indeed difficult to compare with conventional elixirs, so for casual cultivators with extremely limited resources, few people will buy them.
Wang Yan is also not very interested, because except for some elixirs with special effects, the elixirs used for cultivation are better than the essence of the spiritual chicken, but they are also limited.
The key is that the elixir is expensive, but the cost of the spirit chicken essence is much lower.
Wang Yan’s natural choice is Spirit Chicken Essence.
After watching for a while, Wang Hao left the crowded stall and started sweeping them one by one.
Whenever he saw a stall selling spells, exercises, or strange things, he would go up and take a look.
I also collected some interesting things, such as second-level spiritual plant seeds.
There are also many more practical common spells.
These spells do not take up his mana. Even attack spells are difficult to surpass second-level powerful spells such as "Golden Wind and Jade Dew Jue".
But it can also play a role in practice and enrich his foundation.
Anyway, he can use Shou Yuan to make it quick, so he won't let it go.
It's a pity that he has never been able to encounter the technique of closing his eyes.
However, in the process of purchasing spells, he accidentally found a copy of "The Atlas of Mountain-Moving Monkeys" among the pile of miscellaneous books he bought.
He opened it curiously and looked through it, and was pleasantly surprised.
This is an essay written by a beast-controlling monk. It mainly records some characteristics of the mountain-moving ape race and the experience he summarized when raising mountain-moving apes.
For example, among the mountain-moving apes, there is a type of ape that is completely different from other easily irritable members of the same species. It is naturally calm and likes to sit cross-legged. Every day, it tries to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with its physical body.
However, these quiet mountain-moving apes are the natural kings of their race because they are good at learning and using their bodies.
Therefore, once they survive the Small Heavenly Thunder Tribulation as adults and enter the second level, they will be able to grow rapidly. They can even break through the restrictions of race and become the second level mid-level spiritual beast through heavy training and their own natural cultivation.
When Wang Ba saw this, he immediately remembered the first mountain monkey he bought.
The ape, as described in the book, meditates quietly like an old monk every day.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the natural king of the mountain-moving ape family.
When Wang Hao saw the back, he was surprised and happy, because the author of the "Atlas of the Mountain-Moving Ape" also recorded in an inconspicuous place in the book the cultivation of the Mountain-moving Ape after it successfully became a second-level spirit beast. ideas.
Wang Hao has carefully studied the mountain-moving ape, and he has also written a bloodline breakthrough prescription based on the situation of the mountain-moving ape. He can be regarded as a semi-expert.
Comparing the other party's cultivation ideas, he was suddenly inspired. According to the situation of the mountain ape, he quickly adjusted the previous recipe. Then he made a list of some needed spiritual materials, elixirs and other materials, and asked Liu Yaodong to help find them together.
Liu Yaodong immediately took advantage of his vast network of contacts and mobilized his colleagues to help find him.
Next, Wang Yan also gained a lot from some stalls selling spiritual beasts.
Wang Ba had never seen many spiritual beasts that were only found in Song and Yan countries, which opened his eyes.
It took a lot of spiritual chicken essence to win a lot.
But most of them are first-order spirit beasts.
The prices of second-level spirit beasts are mostly very high. The reason why the previous mountain-moving apes were cheap was because the mountain-moving apes were limited by the Small Heavenly Thunder Tribulation. The fatality rate was half and half, so the price naturally could not go up.
A normal second-level low-grade product would cost at least eighty or ninety spirit stones.
For mid-range products, the price is doubled.
Wang Yan did not see the second-level high-grade and top-grade spiritual beasts.
Apparently it was either too rare or had been bought by someone long ago.
Of course, he is also very satisfied with the first-level spirit beast, which can greatly enrich his experience as a spirit chef and also allow him to master the second step of spirit chef training more quickly.
After a while, Liu Yaodong squeezed through the crowd and gave Wang Ba a surprise.
"Senior, I just found a passion bee that is very similar to what you said. Can you please take a look, is it like this?" Wang Yan
immediately followed him to a stall selling spiritual insects, and indeed he saw a nest of passion bees in it. bee.
Fortunately, spiritual insects are generally not expensive unless they have special effects.
And it is first-order after all.
He immediately spent the spirit stones and bought it.
Liu Yaodong also bought all the spiritual materials that Wang Hao had promised to buy before.
Wang Ba nodded with satisfaction. With these things, he only needed to take out some of the supplies he left at the chicken farm to cultivate the orangutans.
After the cultivation is completed, the mountain-moving ape should be able to successfully enter the second-level mid-level. After that, enough longevity yuan will be deposited for ripening. After surviving the small thunder tribulation, it may be able to go one step further.
After wandering around for a while, he unexpectedly saw a second-level high-grade flying magic weapon at a stall, and immediately took it down without hesitation.
Flying magic weapons are no less important to him than defensive magic weapons.
The prerequisite for running away if you can't beat him is to be fast enough to be able to run away.
So Wang Yan spent all his savings.
So much so that except for some spirit turtle essence left for his own practice and some magical tools, talismans, practice materials, etc. that he could use, he couldn't even take out a single spirit stone from his body.
Fortunately, the goals he wanted to achieve before coming here were also achieved, and even far exceeded his expectations.
He was planning to wait until someone finished setting up the stall, and he could also set up a stall to sell some spiritual beasts to restore his health.
Wang Ba was suddenly startled.
A fat monk who walked towards him suddenly showed surprise.
After a slight pause.
Neither of them spoke.
Wang Ba smiled politely, nodded slightly, and immediately walked towards the other party, walking calmly.
The fat monk with gray hair and beard also showed a smile on his face, as if he happened to meet a familiar stranger, and walked towards Wang Yan.
The two just passed each other.
A missed moment.
The smile on Wang Ba's face disappeared.
A decision was made immediately.
Walk!
Go now!
Because he had already recognized the identity of this fat monk. He was the 'high-spirited cultivator' that he and Zhu Jianyi met in Linglong Ghost Market before.
Meeting this person at this time was an unusual coincidence, and it immediately made him feel a little uneasy.
He felt it and found that the other party was not following him. He immediately squeezed into the crowd and walked out of the ghost market.
And at the same time.
The other direction.
Li Qu gently touched an imperceptible gray spot on his palm, a smile flashing in his eyes.
"No matter how cunning you are, you can't escape the influence of 'musk horn scent'!"
