Li Qingfeng nodded to show that he understood, then looked at the prices of other spiritual grains, waved his hand and said: "Shopkeeper Meng, I will go shopping elsewhere first. If there is nothing more suitable, I will buy your spiritual grains."
"It's easy to say, fellow Taoist, just go on your own." Meng Wenjiang waved his hands indifferently. As a casual cultivator, it is normal to want to break apart every piece of spiritual stone and use it. It is normal to shop around. However, he knew in his heart that the prices sold in his shop were absolutely fair, and he was not afraid that Li Qingfeng would no longer come to his door.
"Third brother, Aunt Hua said there are not many spiritual valleys left in the valley, why don't we buy some?" Li Qingqing took Li Qingfeng's hand and asked in a low voice just after taking a few steps.
This child is really good, he actually noticed this - even though Li Qingfeng never avoided her when talking. He touched Li Qingqing's head, bent down and whispered in her ear the principle of shopping around.
After listening, Li Qingqing nodded, not sure whether he understood or not - Li Qingfeng thought she understood, and took her to look for Linggu shops in the city, compare prices and quality, and also inquired about Da'anfang by the way. City-related information.
Da'anfang City is the largest Xiuxianfang City in Jinping County. It was mainly established by Jindingmen, Wudaomen and Banyueshan Shijia. These three companies have alchemy monks in charge, accounting for nearly 70% of the transactions in Da'anfang City. The other parts are divided among their respective affiliated forces. There are also some casual cultivators among them, but the proportion of casual cultivators is very small, and they basically do small personal business.
The Meng family is a subsidiary family of the Banyueshan Shi family. It is not very powerful, but it is deeply involved with the Banyueshan Shi family. His family's ancestral land is a direct line of the Banyue Mountain Range, called Xiao Banyue Mountain. The "Purple Jade Rice" produced there is quite famous in this area.
According to Li Qingfeng's inquiries, the Linggu produced by the Meng family has a good reputation here. He compared several Linggu shops and found that there was not much difference in price and quality was not much better. Li Qingfeng planned to go to Meng's store to buy it if there was nothing special, and he would treat it as a familiar face.
Just as they were thinking about it, a loft that was more than ten feet high appeared in front of them. There was an ancient wooden plaque on it with the three characters "Tengyun Pavilion" engraved on it. The attic is divided into multiple floors, with cornices and green tiles, and glazed animals carved on the roof. Two tall human puppets stand motionless at the gate. People come and go, and monks come and go from time to time.
Li Qingfeng stood at the door and watched for a while, then asked the monks passing by and found out that this was a shop owned by the Shi family in Banyue Mountain, so he took Li Qingqing in.
There were many people on the first floor, and there were all kinds of things on display, including weapon refining materials, elixirs, and some talismans. Although there are many types, the quality is not high, and most of them are relatively ordinary items. Li Qingfeng came here to compare prices, but if he felt it was worth it, he could also spend money to buy some.
There are elixirs such as Qi Recovery Pills, Qi Blood Pills, etc., all priced at three spirit stones per bottle. This price is still within Li Qingfeng's expectations, but he still has a lot of Qi Restoration Pills and Qi Blood Pills, so he doesn't need to purchase them this time.
Walking to the counter, Li Qingfeng asked the monk in front of the counter: "Fellow Taoist, where can I buy Qi Gathering Pills?"
Qi Gathering Pill is a first-level elixir that can help users gather spiritual energy and assist in their cultivation. Li Qingfeng got some from the Zhou family monks a few days ago, but not much, only a small bottle of five pills. It is one of the purposes of Li Qingfeng's trip. With enough Qi Gathering Pills, Li Qingfeng is confident that he can improve his cultivation to the third level of Qi training within four months.
"The Qi Gathering Pill is over there." The monk in front of the counter pointed in one direction and said, "Fellow Taoist, do you want to buy some? The Qi Gathering Pill in our store is made by a second-level alchemist of the Shi family. It is of high quality and has great effects. It is 20% better than ordinary Qi Gathering Pills, and one bottle only costs eight spirit stones. If you are interested, fellow Taoist, buy ten bottles and we will give you one for free in our store."
Li Qingfeng nodded and thanked, but secretly felt ashamed in his heart. I only have one hundred and fifty-six spiritual stones on my body, how can I withstand such a waste. I made up my mind to inquire about the quality of the elixirs in this store later. If it was like what the monk at the counter said, I would buy two bottles and go back.
He walked aside and pretended to pick up a bottle of Qi Gathering Pill and looked at it. There are twelve pieces in a bottle, the quantity is normal. After a while, Li Qingfeng put down the Qi Gathering Pill, walked towards the monk in front of the counter, and asked, "Excuse me, friend, do you have magic weapons or array flags for sale in your store?"
The monk was fair and fair, and even though he didn't care about Li Qingfeng's questioning, he didn't show any look of disdain. He turned around and pointed to the stairs beside him and said: "The magic tools, arrays, flags, etc. are all on the second floor. Fellow Taoists can just go there. There are monks there who are responsible for reception."
Li Qingfeng nodded and thanked him, but did not go up to the second floor. He pulled the somewhat nervous Li Qingqing out.
"Third brother, why don't you go up?"
Li Qingqing turned into a curious baby, and she was indeed stunned by Li Qingfeng. Even if you don’t buy it, you can still go up and check out the price.
"Let's go buy Linggu first."
Facing Li Qingqing's doubts, Li Qingfeng smiled and touched her head, but did not explain much. Although Li Qingqing was confused, she believed that Li Qingfeng had his own plan, so she didn't ask any more questions and was led by him quietly.
This is also the point where Li Qingfeng is very satisfied with Li Qingqing. Usually she acts like a spoiled brat, but at critical moments she is very obedient. Seeing that he didn't say much, she didn't ask much, just watched and thought quietly. Li Qingfeng decided to test Li Qingqing later to see how many surprises she could bring to him.
After a while, Li Qingfeng and Li Qingfeng returned to the Meng family's Linggu shop. When the shopkeeper Meng Wenjiang saw him, he smiled and waved and said hello: "How is this fellow Taoist? Can you compare clearly?"
Li Qingfeng was not embarrassed, nodded, pointed at a kind of spiritual grain and said with a smile: "To make Fellow Daoist Meng laugh, please Fellow Daoist Meng, please give me twenty kilograms of this kind of spiritual grain. In addition, I will give you a pound of purple jade spiritual rice."
Hearing the number twenty kilograms, Meng Wenjiang raised his eyebrows, then said hello with a smile and asked his wife to go to the back to get rice. He didn't expect Li Qingfeng to spend so generously, twenty pounds at a time - even though he bought the cheapest and worst-tasting bamboo red rice.
His wife was a strong female cultivator who walked vigorously. Li Qingfeng glanced at her briefly and then looked away. Not long after, Meng Wenjiang took two bags, one large and one small, from his wife, put them on the counter and weighed them, and motioned to Li Qingfeng to check them.
Li Qingfeng took a look and saw that the weight was correct, so he took out forty-seven spiritual stones from the storage bag and placed them on the table, forming a small pile.
Meng Wenjiang scanned it with his eyes, took out two spiritual stones, pushed them back, and said with a smile: "It's the first time we met, this time I count my fellow Taoist forty-five spiritual stones. I hope you will visit our store more often in the future."
"Definitely, definitely." Li Qingfeng was not polite and accepted it with a smile. While putting the spirit grain into the storage bag, he asked casually: "Fellow Daoist Meng, I also want to buy a defensive magic weapon. You have opened a store here all year round. Do you know which store has the best quality magic weapon?"
After a pause, he asked again: "I heard someone mention the name of the Zhou family in Lishan just now. What kind of business do they do? Can Fellow Daoist Meng explain to me a little bit?"
