"Dad, you called us over, what's the matter?" Yue Lingshan and Pan Ting asked as soon as they entered the room. Before they could sit down, they were dragged out by Wu Qun.
"Come on, let's talk on the way!" Instructing the others to stay at his residence, he hurried out with Pan Ting, Yue Lingshan and his teacher uncle.
It turned out that Hai Mingzong had opened a trading market on the ship. Wu Qun thought that although his "ancestor" protected his family, since there were a pair of quotation marks, it was somewhat unsafe. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and decided to go to Nafang Market to buy some gifts to use after entering Yuanxia Palace.
Wu Quantum and Xiangya Lao Dao have been wandering around for several days, but they have never made a move. The reason is that good things are too expensive, and inexpensive ones cannot be given away. This makes Wu Liang Guan, two Lao Taoists who have always been thrifty, I was so worried that I almost pulled out my beard.
Today, we found nothing again. Just when the two veterans were discussing and gritting their teeth to bleed, they made an unexpected discovery at a market stall.
"...The stall owner packaged and sold a bunch of jade slips, which contained a mixture of exercises, formations, talismans, etc. The price was ten top-quality spiritual stones." When he said this, the corners of Wu Quantum's mouth twitched fiercely. For a moment.
The trading currency between practitioners has been the spiritual stone that contains abundant spiritual energy since ancient times. This object does not have so many twists and turns, and has only two grades - ordinary spiritual stone and top-grade spiritual stone.
But the price difference is unimaginably high.
One top-quality spiritual stone can be exchanged for one million ordinary spiritual stones!
That's right, it's such an exaggerated proportion, just because the best spiritual stones are formed from the essence of some spiritual veins that have not been completely generated, or that have collapsed prematurely due to unexpected reasons.
Ordinary spiritual veins can only condense one at most, and large-scale spiritual veins can only be counted in three or five, and the production is extremely rare. It can be said that a top-quality spiritual stone almost corresponds to a spiritual vein, which is very useful for setting up formations, refining weapons, and even high-level monks. Cultivation has great benefits.
All in all, it is extremely valuable. Once it appears in a transaction, it is often collected and kept secret within a very short period of time.
Therefore, when he heard that the stall owner quoted ten top-quality spiritual stones, but what he was selling was only some jade slips that were not very valuable, Wu Quantum's first thought was that this person was probably crazy because of poverty... and he thought so. There were obviously not a few people there, and the stall owner's location had almost become a scenic spot. Many monks stopped by to take a look when they were strolling around the market, and whispered sarcastically.
But the stall owner was calm, keeping his eyes closed and paying no attention to anything outside.
Wu Qun was not in the mood to have any fun, but after just one glance, he couldn't walk, because among the jade slips packaged for sale, there was one that stood out. It was about the size of a child's palm, with white mist growing on its surface. , and is in the process of constant change. From time to time, a sword shadow condenses and flashes past in the clouds and mist.
What attracted Wu Qun was the sword shadow... Because it looked familiar, he hid in the dark and looked at it carefully for a long time, and finally confirmed one thing. This sword was exactly the same as the ancient sword he bought for Yue Lingshan in Tianbo City. …
hiss!
Could this be a coincidence? And the more the jade slip looked at it, the more extraordinary it became. When the shadow of the sword passed by in the clouds, the sound of swords could be faintly heard, and it was as cold as ice, making people feel frightened.
After Wu Qun walked quietly for a while, he dragged Lao Dao with missing teeth and left, and then quickly sent a message to Yue Lingshan.
"Ten top-quality spiritual stones!" Yue Lingshan whispered, subconsciously widening her eyes, "Dad...we of the Infinite Sect don't have any."
The toothless boss nodded desperately and looked at Wu Quantum with a very unkind look. I can't help you, you little brat, because you love your daughter. But Wuliang Sect is not your own. I have to take good care of all the property passed down by my ancestors.
"Uncle Teacher, what do you think of me? Am I the kind of person who harms the public and enriches my own life? I have no qualms. I have been in charge of the family for so many years and dare to say with my heart that I have never greedy for a spiritual stone. Please go and find out. This is not true. I'm bragging..." Wu Quantum looked annoyed.
The teacher uncle sneered, "Yes, you have never been greedy for the public spirit stone, but after you came back this time, you took out a jade glazed body purification lamp from the storehouse. Then I asked you, what was the body-protecting magic weapon you had on you before? Where did that Azure Purple Cloud Umbrella go? If I remember correctly, it was a treasure left behind by the previous head."
Wuxiang choked for a moment, "Uncle Teacher, it's meaningless for you to talk like that. I, Wuxiang, work hard for the sect. How can I get one more treasure..."
"Dad!" Yue Lingshan interrupted him with a serious expression, "Even if that jade slip is really of great use to my daughter, I will never agree to let you misappropriate the spiritual stones in the sect... Uncle Master is right, you As the leader of the Infinite Sect, he should lead by example."
When the old man with missing teeth heard this, he felt a little embarrassed, but he was so thick-skinned that he just drooped his eyelids and pretended he didn't hear it.
Alas, he also doesn't want to see Yue Lingshan, a girl he has grown up with, and he doesn't want to be a bad person, but the Wuliang Sect is too poor. If all the little wealth he has is given away, what will happen to the remaining disciples? After all, the "ancestor" said everything was good, but who can be sure of what the rules will be after entering the Yuanxia Palace? He must leave some escape route for his disciples.
"Hey, don't worry, my dear, your father and I are this kind of person in your heart? Hehe... I admit, I did get a little advantage from my father-in-law, so that's normal, right? Which master in the past has Have you never done this before? Uncle Teacher, don’t worry, I will pay for the jade slips I bought for Lingshan this time!”
Facing the shocked and admiring looks in his daughter's and disciple's eyes, he quietly straightened his back.
The old man with missing teeth opened his eyes and said, "Do you have the best spiritual stone?"
Wu Quantum bent down slightly, "Well... no, but I think the offer of ten top-grade spirit stones must be a gimmick, just a means used by the stall owner to attract people. As long as enough spirit stones are offered, we can definitely negotiate. Come down."
"Let's go, let's hurry up, Fangshi is about to arrive."
After turning a corner, the boat market appeared in front of us, and it was very lively with people coming and going. In the past few days, Wuxian Qun and Lao Tao had already become familiar with each other, and they headed straight for the stall with Yue Lingshan and Pan Ting.
Sure enough, I saw a group of people in the distance, almost forming a circle. From time to time, some people left and some rushed over.
They were whispering and looking at each other, mostly with the look of looking at a madman. Occasionally, someone would come up to ask for a price. The stall owner also seemed to be indifferent. Without saying a few words, he would hold his hands and close his eyes with a look of disdain. He looked like he was willing to continue talking.
"You really want ten top-quality spiritual stones? Are you crazy?"
"Even if there are such treasures from heaven and earth, who would use them to buy these things?"
"It's just a way of sensationalizing and attracting attention. Just walk around and waste time here."
A few simple words of conversation reached his ears, and when he turned to leave, Yue Lingshan happened to walk to the gap and looked at the jade slip.
Just one glance made her heart skip a beat, and she had a strange feeling, as if this jade slip should have been hers... No, it should be said that it was a treasure that she abandoned a long, long time ago, a very important treasure to her. .
At this moment, in the clouds and mist surrounding the jade slip, a sword shadow appeared, followed by a "buzzing" sword sound.
Buzz——
Buzz——
In the storage ring, the ancient long sword seemed to be attracted at this moment, whizzing and flying around, almost trying to break out of its own accord.
Yue Lingshan hurriedly suppressed her, but the changes in her expression did not escape the eyes of Wu Qunzi and others. He was overjoyed, but he grabbed his daughter and waved an inconspicuous little magic trick with a flick of his sleeve, shrouding the whereabouts of these people. , then he said: "My dear daughter, be careful. Is there any connection between the jade slip and the sword you bought?"
Facing her father's eyes, Yue Lingshan hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and said truthfully: "When the cloud and mist sword shadows in the jade slip just now trembled, the long sword in my storage ring reacted, and almost broke out on its own, but I was in time. I suppressed it...and somehow, the first time I saw this jade slip, I felt like it was mine..."
Wu Qun's eyes lit up, "Hey, I knew that my daughter was lucky. First she got a high-quality sword, and now she had the opportunity to come... It can trigger the reaction of the sword and give rise to those feelings. This jade Jane must be extraordinary!”
"Don't worry, my dear, dad will definitely get it for you!"
Back in Tianbo City, he finally showed off his fatherly demeanor and bought a sword for his beloved daughter. Unexpectedly, he got into trouble in the blink of an eye. Although he was safe in the end, he still felt unhappy.
Now that you have this opportunity, of course you must seize it - my dear daughter, your father has been frugal and frugal over the years and has left behind a reputation of being a knock on doors. Just for today, I have saved you more than just that little bit of wealth.
Pan Ting looked envious, "Senior sister, master is so kind to you?"
The old man with missing teeth also had a look of admiration.
Only Yue Lingshan was still hesitating, "Dad...are you trying too hard? My daughter doesn't ask for opportunities, really..."
"Don't worry!" Wu Qunqian waved his hand, but after a moment's hesitation, he said, "My daughter, I'm not going to hide it from you. This was originally a dowry for you. If you spend it today, I won't have it anymore."
Yue Lingshan blushed, "Dad, what are you talking about! My daughter will always be with you..." In her mind, a figure flashed subconsciously, and her ears turned red this time.
"Haha, okay, dad won't tell me, I won't tell you." Wu Qunqian smiled "haha" and felt that all these years of frugality were worth it.
He first gave his daughter a look that said, "Watch my performance." He then dismissed the magic formula and walked towards the stall.
I saw another person coming forward, but quite a few people looked over, wanting to watch a show.
Wu Qun stopped a few steps away and cupped his hands, "Stall owner, I'm interested in buying. I don't know how to trade this pile of precious jade slips?"
"Ten top-quality spiritual stones." The stall owner said calmly without opening his eyes.
Wu Quantum smiled and said, "Okay, some gimmicks are very effective when used, but if they continue to do this to the real guests, it is unnecessary."
He lowered his voice, mustered up his momentum, and pointed at the pile of jade slips, "I want these things, please set a selling price!"
The stall owner opened his eyes, looked up and down, thought for a while and said, "You can skip the top-grade spiritual stones, but 10 million spiritual stones are worth the price."
Some people died, but not completely...
