The Earth Immortal who set up the stall glanced at the three people in front of him, with a smile on his face. He did not show any dislike at all because of Xu Chunniang and Xiaobai's low cultivation.
"Fellow immortals, let's take a look. I have all the best immortal materials here, with high quality and good prices. First come, first served!"
Mr. Gong took a fist-sized white pearl, looked at it for a few times, and was amazed.
"Is this a snow sand bead? It's rare for it to grow so big."
The owner of the stall praised, "My celestial being has good eyesight, these are the snow sand beads produced by the unique snow silver shell in the Rakshasa Sea, a new product that just arrived yesterday.
Only snow silver shells that are more than ten thousand years old can produce snow sand beads with such a rich frost breath. If you are interested, I will give you a cheaper price. "
As he spoke, he stretched out four fingers to indicate the forty thousand immortal crystals.
"Forty thousand...the Earthly Immortal's top-grade snow sand beads are indeed worth this price."
Mr. Gong nodded slightly, put down the snow sand bead in his hand, and said with some regret, "It's a pity that I came out in a hurry today, and I don't have much immortal crystal with me. I'm afraid I won't be able to get this thing."
Seeing Mr. Gong put down his things and was about to leave, the stall owner became anxious and said hurriedly, "Don't leave in a hurry. If you sincerely want it, my dear friend, I'll give you a discount, thirty-eight thousand... no, how about thirty-six thousand?"
The stall owner lowered the price twice in succession, but Mr. Gong did not change his mind and walked away with Xu Chunniang and Xiaobai without looking back.
Only when he was completely far away from the stall did Mr. Gong stop and turn to look at the two of them.
"I have a magical power related to ice, and I really need snow and sand beads to assist me in my practice. Do you know why I didn't buy the snow and sand beads just now?"
Xiaobai thought for a while and said uncertainly, "Mr. Gong thought that the price offered by the person just now was too high. Do you want to spend more time on the island?"
"That's not true."
Mr. Gong smiled and shook his head, "Actually, he sells it quite cheaply. If I buy it from someone else, it will at least be at this price."
"Since there is no problem with the price, the problem must lie with Xue Shazhu!"
Xiaobai's eyes lit up and he thought of a certain possibility, "Could it be that the snow sand bead is fake? It's a pity that I have never seen what a real snow sand bead looks like, otherwise I would definitely be able to tell it apart."
"The snow sand beads should be real. I feel a strong frosty atmosphere from them."
Although Xu Chunniang has never seen a snow sand bead, she has the insight to see that the origin of fairy objects is also the manifestation of the power of law.
"But when I think about it carefully, the frosty atmosphere in the snow sand beads seems a bit unnatural, as if someone has tampered with it."
"good."
Mr. Gong glanced at Xu Chunniang appreciatively, "The Snow Sand Pearl is real and has been tampered with before. To be precise, when it was first mined, its grade was only the Earthly Immortal Middle Grade. It was artificially classified as Earthly. Through some kind of secret cultivation, he was forcibly promoted to the top level of Earth Immortal."
Xu Chunniang suddenly realized that she only vaguely felt that there seemed to be a problem with Xue Shazhu, but she did not expect that the problem actually lay here.
Xiao Bai was also stunned, "Can the level of a fairy be improved?"
“It’s possible, but it’s very troublesome, and the effort is often not proportional to the reward, so few people will do it.
In addition, there are some strange recipes and secret methods that can forcibly improve the level of immortal objects in a short period of time at a very small cost, such as Xiang Cai's snow sand bead. "
After saying that, Mr. Gong sighed, "Don't think I'm that powerful. I just looked at the Snow Sand Bead and held it in my hand for a long time before I determined that there was something wrong with its quality. I replaced it with another one." I may not be able to tell the difference between immortal creatures.”
Xiaobai frowned slightly, "Are there any hidden dangers in forcibly raising the level of an immortal creature like this?"
"Of course there is, and there are many hidden dangers. Immortals that have been forcibly upgraded may seem stronger than before, but in fact their power has been severely overdrawn and cannot be used.
After you buy it and find out that you were deceived, if you go to confront someone, you won't be admitted and you will have to admit your mistake. "
"unacceptable!"
Xiao Bai looked around, suspiciously looking at the dazzling array of treasures on various vendors, "Sold defective products openly, no one cares?"
Mr. Gong smiled and said he was not surprised.
"The Immortal World is just a larger world of cultivation. Buying and selling is all voluntary. No matter whether you missed the treasure or missed it, it is all your own ability and luck. How can you blame others?
I specially picked that snow sand bead and told you about it. I hope you can be more discerning when buying things and not be fooled by others. "
Xu Chunniang nodded in agreement, "This place is prosperous and rich in all kinds of immortal things. It's not surprising that something like this happened. Thank you Mr. Gong for reminding me."
Seeing that the two people understood what he meant, Mr. Gong said no more and pointed to the shop in the distance.
"If you really can't tell the authenticity from the fake, you can go to those stores to buy fairy materials. Generally, you won't buy defective products. It's just the price. It's two or three times more expensive than these stalls."
A few deserted shops are in sharp contrast to the bustling street market. From this, it seems that most immortals would rather believe in their own eyesight and luck than spend more unjust immortal crystals.
Xu Chunniang looked at Xiaobai thoughtfully, "Did you just say that as long as you see real snow sand beads, you can easily judge the authenticity?"
Xiaobai nodded, "Of course, sister, don't forget, what is my true body? No matter how subtle the breath change is, it can't escape my nose!"
Mr. Gong looked at Xiaobai with some surprise, "If I remember correctly, your body should be a demon rat...could it be a treasure-hunting rat?"
"good!"
Xiao Bai straightened his chest, "As long as it's a fairy I've seen, I can tell the real thing from the fake one at a glance!"
Elder Gong was surprised and delighted, "I didn't expect you to have such ability. In this country of Rakshasa Sea, where treasures are everywhere, wouldn't you be like a fish in water?"
But Mr. Gong soon ran into trouble, "You don't even know the Snow Sand Bead, and you've never come into contact with other Earth Immortal-level treasures. Where can you find so many treasures for you to look at them one by one?"
Xu Chunniang reminded, "It's far away in the horizon, but it's so close in front of you. If you stroll around the shops in the distance, won't you be able to identify most of the immortal objects?"
"Yes, the treasures in the store are all real. It's just that if we don't buy anything when we go shopping in other stores, I'm afraid we won't see many treasures."
Speaking, Mr. Gong hesitated.
"Who says I don't have anything to buy? I plan to choose a book of exercises for Xiaobai. I'm worried about the exercises outside and worry about being manipulated by others. I just want to go to the store to choose."
Mr. Gong's heart moved and he nodded repeatedly. In this case, there would be no problem.
