"Wait, fellow Taoist, can you show me the spiritual material in your hand? A gentle voice sounded behind her.
Ning Xia moved to the side with some vigilance to avoid turning his back to this unexpected visitor. The environment in China was still a bit complicated, so he had to be careful.
The man seemed a little surprised by Ningxia's unusual vigilance, but the surprise on his face did not last long, and he soon returned to his usual gentle and soothing expression.
Although the voice is gentle, the other person's appearance is very tough. He is tall, fair-skinned, with deep eyes and a high nose. His eyes are gray and black, and his face is clear and full of coldness. The outline is roughly the base of a human, but it is also revealing. Some sense of foreignness.
Especially those eyes, I don't know if it was Ning Xia's illusion. The other side's eyes were in a double-line aiming circle for a moment, which made them look a little weird and not like ordinary people.
But when she wanted to look again, she realized that the scene just now seemed to be just an illusion. The other person's childish color was clear, light, dark and gray, and there was no overlap along the lines. The other party seemed to have noticed her gaze, and looked back at her doubtfully, with pure confusion in his eyes.
But Ningxia's heart skipped a beat and she felt a little scared subconsciously. Although the other party's cultivation level is slightly higher than hers, he is still at the peak of the late Jindan period. She is not embarrassed to see Nascent Soul, so why does she feel a strong sense of wariness when she sees this person? What is wrong?
And why does this person look familiar... Where have I seen him recently?
But before she could figure out the reason, the other party spoke again. Maybe she couldn't answer the question and wanted to keep trying: "Fellow Taoist...Fellow Taoist?"
Ning Xia nodded slightly to indicate that she had heard it. After all, it seemed that she might continue to ask if she didn't answer.
The other party still kept smiling, and his face that was obviously different from the people from the Central Plains showed something unspeakable: "I am very interested in this bad piece of spiritual material you have. Is there any intention to sell it? I can give you a blind price. receive."
Blind price? This is no joke! Does the other party spend such a huge price to buy a piece of leftover material that is two fingers wide crazy?
Ningxia probably knows the situation of the spiritual materials market in Dongli City. He has also heard He Qing talk about it a lot, and he already has a general understanding of some basic principles here.
As I said before, there is no uniform standard price for spiritual materials because there are too many types. Even if a monk immerses himself in them for a lifetime, he may not be able to grasp the value of every spiritual material.
So the rules for Dongli City's buying and selling transactions are... there are no rules. As long as you and I are willing, a transaction can be formed by handing over the money and delivering the goods, and at the same time, the transaction is concluded.
Once the transaction is out, even if you later find out that you have suffered a big loss or been cheated, you cannot regret it, because this kind of transaction depends on the information gap between the buyer and the seller, and it is somewhat of a gamble.
The rules of different stores are slightly different, but over time, the entire Dongli City has unconsciously derived a set of industry unspoken rules that everyone recognizes.
In addition to merchants setting their own prices, there are also public prices and blind prices.
Public prices generally apply to stores in the North District. It is said that this saying came from them at first, and later it was widely used in various spiritual materials, and it became a concept known to most people in Dongli City. .
Generally speaking, the materials sold in the North District stores are transferred from the original market, the primary market, various stores and even some special buyers. They are also evaluated and appraised by qualified technicians before they can enter the store, and then undergo multiple rounds of evaluation and price review by buyers on the market.
Then the same object went through hundreds of rounds of complex evaluations, and finally the average value that best represented the object was taken as the starting price, and announced to the monks who participated in the evaluation.
It can be said that this public price best represents the true value of this spiritual material in the world of cultivation. If you can know the public price of this kind of spiritual material, you will not suffer a loss when dealing with certain materials in the future, and it can be regarded as an information resource. Therefore, even if many people cannot afford to spend money in the North District Zhongzhong store, they still have to work hard to squeeze in, just to participate in the review and evaluation. This group of people is different from the group of buyers who actually participate in the bidding.
The blind price comes from the Chengxi trading market, that "gambler's paradise". There has always been chaos there. The rules and principles and even the most basic human nature are ignored, and only profits are in the eyes. Many of the monks who hang out there all year round are lunatics, or potential lunatics who dare to deal with lunatics.
But as crazy as they are, they only have one set of rules for buying and selling. The public price is basically not used as a reference standard there. Buying and selling are done randomly. Some people get rich overnight while others go bankrupt in the blink of an eye. And they also created a special and "overlord" concept.
In fact, the buyer proposes a blind price purchase for something, and then the seller sets a high price in his mind, and then the buyer continues to counteroffer until the final transaction is completed or fails. And if it fails, the buyer who proposed the blind price purchase will also need to pay the seller a "depending fee", and will be compensated if he can't get the item...
This is equivalent to buying and selling at a price above the market by default.
Because if the buyer has the opportunity to shout a blind price, he can almost make a random guess, and there is no need to worry that the other party will not accept it. Because the so-called blind price means that the buyer voluntarily submits and shows his strong willingness to pay for the item - so it only depends on whether he can afford the price.
If Ning Xia remembered correctly, she got this for free, and the stall owner didn't confiscate it at all. But when she turned around, the man said that he wanted to blindly buy her this piece of spiritual material... He didn't even dare to write like that, right? !
Do you really want to sell it? Ning Xia looked at the white jade-like thing in her hand and shook it, as if she was a little moved.
The eyes of the person opposite moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something else?
But the female cultivator shook her head: "I'm sorry, fellow Taoist. I also find this piece of spiritual material interesting, so I won't sell it."
Actually...rejected. A hint of turbulence quickly flashed through the young man's pale eyes, but perhaps because he managed his facial expression so well, Ning Xia didn't notice his abnormality.
Ning Xia doesn't think this thing is really a hidden spiritual material. She is actually very mature and very skilled in identifying spiritual materials. Even if it is a spiritual material that she has not come into contact with yet, Ningxia can roughly judge the approximate level and characteristics of the material by looking at the internal structure and texture.
In fact, the internal structure of this unknown leftover material looks very loose, which is different from most high-level spiritual materials. The natural lines inside the stone are rough, and the spiritual energy contained therein is relatively sparse. The injected power has no feedback effect, and the spiritual energy cannot be retained for a long time. Ordinary people would judge this thing to be a relatively low-level spiritual material by just looking at it, basically eliminating the possibility that it is a high-level spiritual material.
How come someone is suddenly rushing for something like this?
