Qingfeng City is particularly lively today, with the bustling crowd of cultivators coming and going, giving this city of immortal cultivation a somewhat mundane feel.
Walking on the street, Xu Wen and the other three had complicated expressions.
The three of them had just gone to the Xiao family's weapon refining shop and saw many magical weapons that they had never seen before, or even heard of.
However, compared to the magic of the magic weapon, the price is even more magical.
There are no low-grade magic weapons in the Xiao family's shop, and the lowest-grade ones are all first-grade mid-grade ones, with prices above two hundred spirit stones, far exceeding the spending power of ordinary casual cultivators.
Xu Wen could afford it, but it was definitely impossible to buy it in front of his companions, and there was no need.
The atmosphere was a little dull. Guang Yutong looked at Xu Wen a few times and suddenly whispered:
"Junior Brother Xu, actually I just thought of a way to earn spiritual stones!"
The realm of the world of cultivation is respected. Except for immediate relatives, masters and disciples, they are generally called by the realm.
Logically speaking, Guang Yutong, who was still on the second level of Qi Refining, should call Xu Wen his senior brother.
But he didn't know about Xu Wen's promotion, and he couldn't detect the fluctuation of Xu Wen's mana, so he still used the old title, and Xu Wen naturally wouldn't deliberately correct it.
Hearing Guang Yutong's words, his heart moved. He thought of something and frowned slightly, but still replied:
"Oh, does Senior Brother Guang have any good ideas?"
"Didn't Senior Xiao give you a VIP token? Can you get a higher discount? Today's original discount is 20% off, and after the discount, it will be 64% off. We can definitely pool money or borrow some spiritual stones to buy a few magic weapons and change hands. I’m sure I’ll make a fortune later!”
"We can do this every once in a while in the future, specifically selecting those high-quality magic weapons that are easy to use..."
The more Guang Yutong talked, the more excited he became, completely unaware of Xu Wen's frown.
"Okay, Junior Brother Guang, you can't do this!"
Before Xu Wen could say no, Liu Minghe rejected Guang Yutong's suggestion.
"Ah~~Why...why?"
Guang Yutong suddenly prolonged his tone and looked at Liu Minghe puzzledly. In his opinion, this was a sure-fire business.
The exact same magic weapon can only be purchased at a 20% discount in the Xiao family store, but they can offer it at a 25% or even 30% discount, so there is no need to worry about not being able to sell it, and there is no risk.
"Have you ever thought about how the Xiao family will react when they find out about this?"
Staring at Guang Yutong and saying seriously, Liu Minghe turned his head again and said seriously to Xu Wen:
"Junior Brother Xu, you must make good use of this opportunity. Don't be greedy for spiritual stones and lose big for a small gain!"
"Yes, that's what Senior Brother Liu said!"
Xu Wen nodded repeatedly, feeling more and more that Liu Minghe was a good enough friend.
It is absolutely impossible for him to agree to Guang Yutong's suggestion, but if he refuses, it will inevitably prevent Guang Yutong from coming to Taiwan.
After Liu Minghe refused for him first, he just saved the two of them from embarrassment.
"It's me, Meng Lang. Please forgive me, Junior Brother Xu!"
Guang Yutong's face turned red and green, looking very ugly, but he quickly recovered and apologized to Xu Wen.
Xu Wen naturally said it was okay, but the harmonious atmosphere between the three of them suddenly became much duller. They no longer had the interest to hang out, and soon they went home.
In the dead of night, Xu Wen quietly went out. Not far away, an inconspicuous black wind rat slowly crawled out.
Today's ghost market is very lively, and the atmosphere of the Xiao family's open weapon refining seems to have spread here. The one after another hawking sounds are mixed with many things that are said to come from the Xiao family.
If we were to judge how smart people make money, these people in the ghost market would probably be ranked second, and no one would dare to be ranked first.
Shaking his head secretly, Xu Wen ignored all these greetings, activated the Heavenly Eye and Treasure Light Technique, and walked slowly into the ghost city.
After walking around in a circle, he found that there were no big opportunities for picking things up in the ghost market today, and he didn't dare to buy too many ordinary things, so as not to attract the attention of those who were interested in Liu Bu.
"Hey, don't step on my stone!"
At this time, a series of "Gululu" sounds came, dozens of stone-like objects rolled to Xu Wen's feet, and a stall owner jumped and cursed.
While giving the helper a few hard slaps, he hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the stone.
The moment he passed by, a bright green flashed in the corner of Xu Wen's eyes.
"Boss, how do you sell these things?"
While the stall owner was placing the stones, several people came around to ask.
"The old rules are that you can bet openly or covertly. Of course, the prices will definitely be different..."
The stall owner was an old man with a weathered face and a frequent visitor to the ghost market. He introduced the stall to several people with a smile.
It turns out that this is a somewhat ordinary "stone gambling" stall.
Of course, unlike ordinary people, the bet here is not whether there is jade in the stone, but whether there is chalcedony inside.
Chalcedony is a spiritual object with many uses, and its price is not low. Kou Laoxi used chalcedony to trick others last time.
This kind of spiritual object can only be born inside jade. Because of the thick stone skin and jade wrapping, it is difficult for low-level monks to determine whether there is any material inside the jade without cutting it open, and "gamble on stones" arises spontaneously.
Undercover gambling means that no windows can be opened, and all depends on vision and magic. Open gambling allows a small opening to be opened, and the situation inside can be judged by what is seen through the opening.
In Qingfeng City, there is no shortage of "yellow", "gambling" and "drug". Even because the body and soul of the monks are far better than those of ordinary people, these three things are better than ordinary people in some aspects.
But in Su Hui's experience, "gambling" and "poison" are the two major disasters, poisons with no cure that can drag gods into hell, so Xu Wen never touches them.
After visiting the night market for so long, he had never bought anything at this gambling stall.
"Wow, this is good!"
He turned around and was about to leave when he heard a young man exclaim. A stone was taken into his hand. On the polished stone skin, there was a wisp of extremely bright green, which was exactly the one Xu Wen had seen before.
Although it is difficult to directly judge whether there is chalcedony, there are some indicators that can be indirectly judged, and color is one of them.
This bright green color means that the probability of producing chalcedony in this jade is extremely high.
"I want this!"
The young man was very happy and held the jade tightly in his hands, not ready to put it down on the spot.
"Okay, 300 spirit stones!"
Lao Du smiled dullly, but the price he gave made the young man jump up and down:
"How much, 300 spirit stones, why don't you go and grab it?"
"There may be five hundred years of chalcedony in it. How much does it cost for 300 spirit stones?"
With a bitter face like old tree bark, Lao Du refused to give in.
After several negotiations, the two failed to reach an agreement. After discussing with someone next to them, the young man suddenly turned to Xu and asked:
"Brother Dao, I want to buy some of this jade stone, but I'm still short of 100 spiritual stones. Do you have any ideas?"
"If Taoist brother is willing to give one hundred spiritual stones, Taoist brother will take 40% of the final profit, and we will each take 30%!"
Having said this, the young man lowered his voice:
"To tell you the truth, brother Dao, I have some family background in this area. There is an 80% chance that this stone can be used to produce chalcedony that is three hundred years old. Its value is definitely more than a thousand spiritual stones."
"Four times the income, as long as Taoist brother..."
