Chapter 39 Finally got the spirit turtle(1/2)
"Several fellow Taoists are entering the trade fair for the first time. Let me give you a few brief introductions."
"Fellow Taoists can trade and exchange at will. The treasure that many fellow Taoists like is the one with the highest price."
The purpose of the trade fair is to exchange what is needed and mainly exchange resources.
The shops in Fangshi in the outer district are closed, and the underground trade fair is the only way to obtain resources.
"The exchange is over, fellow Taoists can trade freely, and I will also sell the precious resources flowing out of the inner city."
"I'll come first!"
"There are three demon-seeking talismans. Are any fellow Taoists interested in them?"
The old white-haired Taoist sitting on Fang Wu's left spoke first and took out three strange yellow talisman papers.
Demon hunting talisman?
Monks go to the wilderness to hunt monsters, and many casual cultivators will buy a few monster-seeking charms to look for traces of monsters.
The price is not too expensive, one demon-hunting talisman and one spiritual stone.
When Jia Ren followed Yang Shengwu to hunt monsters, he bought a few.
The sensing range of the demon-seeking talisman is not large, no more than two miles at most, and the duration is limited.
Nowadays...what's the use of buying a broken demon-seeking talisman?
Can you sense the arrival of the Five Elements Sect monks?
"Wu Laodao, don't embarrass yourself with the demon-seeking talisman. The last time the auction was rejected, it will not be remembered at all."
"The dignified talisman master only knows the evil-seeking talisman. If you learn the evil-repelling talisman, you will have already gone to the inner city."
The old white-haired Taoist looked ashamed when he heard this.
"Alas, the old Taoist got half a volume of broken books, which only recorded the demon-seeking talisman..."
Wu Laodao relied on the demon-seeking talisman and earned a lot of spiritual stones, and his life was quite comfortable.
Unexpectedly, something evil broke out in the mist, and what followed was a war between the Five Elements Sect and the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.
The demon-seeking talisman cannot be sold, and life becomes increasingly difficult.
Jia Ren took a few more glances at Wu Laodao, but he didn't expect to see a talisman maker among the casual cultivators in the outer city.
It's a pity that I only mastered the demon-seeking talisman.
In comparison, it is easier to obtain.
Jia Ren did not speak in a hurry. Wu Laodao was not at the end of his rope, so he would definitely not be willing to sell the skills of the demon-seeking talisman. Even if he sold it, the price would not be affordable.
The demon-seeking talisman passed the auction without any suspense, and the next fellow Taoist came up and started selling magic tools.
Most of them are low-grade magic weapons with unknown origins. There are many of them, and they are most likely obtained through robbery.
There are not many casual practitioners who are interested, and no one cares about it.
One by one, the monks took turns taking out the elixirs and treasures they had accumulated in their hands and selling them in exchange.
"Four broken spirits and one pound of spirit rice. I want to buy spiritual rice."
The buyer looked around in anticipation, but no one responded, so he had to sit down in frustration.
Datong Rice Shop sells four broken spirits per pound, but many casual cultivators did not buy it because they thought it was expensive.
The rice shop has been closed for a long time, and the casual cultivators don't have much food in hand, so they are resting on their laurels.
How can you fill your stomach without spiritual rice?
Monster meat?
Sorry, the price is more expensive.
I have no food in my hands and my heart is panicked.
Casual cultivators at the bottom level are far from reaching the realm of inedia.
After the two sects went to war, spiritual rice became a strategic resource and there was a complete shortage of food.
This is also the method of the Five Elements Sect.
No matter how much you hide, how long can you hold on without Bigu Pill and Lingmi?
The casual cultivators are not stupid, they have already understood the Five Elements Sect’s thoughts and future situation.
Even if they have a lot of food in hand, no one is willing to sell it.
It is easy to sell, but difficult to buy back.
Four pieces of spirit rice and one pound of spirit rice are not cheap, and the price will be even higher in the future.
"Selling a spirit turtle, only exchange for spirit rice."
The thin-faced middle-aged man took out a basin-sized spirit turtle from the spirit animal bag.
The spirit turtle is this person's spiritual beast. Under its control, its limbs and head are retracted into the turtle shell, lying motionless on the stone table.
Is this the man who is looking for a woman named Wang to practice dual cultivation?
Finally found the rightful owner!
"The highest bidder wins!"
A feeble voice came from the skinny middle-aged man. There was no rice left in his hand and he was hungry three times a day.
Datong Rice Shop sells rice at a high price, so I don’t want to buy more.
I thought that after a while, the situation would improve and rice prices would fall, so why waste more money?
This is also the mentality of a normal casual cultivator. It is not easy to earn spiritual stones, so just save them if you can.
Peace has not come, what awaits is the war between the Five Elements Sect and the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.
Nowadays, it is difficult to buy spiritual rice, let alone high-priced spiritual rice.
He didn't think about eating the turtle, but he thought about the trade fair in a few days, so he endured it.
Eat the spirit beast?
There isn't much turtle meat, so it's better to replace the turtle with spiritual rice to last longer.
Spirit turtle?
Still alive?
Monster meat is also a rare item, and its value is not low, so casual cultivators are tempted by it.
The spirit turtle weighs about thirty kilograms. If you remove the shell and the inedible parts, you can get twenty kilograms of meat, which is good.
"Fellow Taoist, don't you consider selling spiritual stones?"
The skinny middle-aged man did not even look at the casual cultivator who asked the question, and was too lazy to respond.
"Fifty pounds of spiritual rice."
Fifty kilograms of spiritual rice is far inferior to more than thirty kilograms of spirit turtle, and the value of monster meat is higher than that of spiritual rice.
The spirit turtle is a low-level monster, and the turtle shell is a material for making low-grade defensive magic weapons. It can be sold for at least ten spirit stones.
Today is different from the past. Everyone does not have much food on hand. Those who can spend fifty kilograms of spiritual rice to buy spiritual turtles are wealthy families.
"Fifty-five pounds of spiritual rice."
Fifty pounds of spiritual rice won’t scare anyone, but there are still some casual cultivators who have some wealth.
"Fifty-eight pounds of green sprout rice."
"Thirty pounds of white corn!"
White corn is of higher quality than green sprout rice. The normal price is one pound of Ersuiling, which is equivalent to sixty pounds of green sprout rice.
The further back you go, the smaller the price increase will be.
The casual cultivators don’t have much inventory, so if they take out so much spiritual rice, they might drain their wealth.
You can't eat all the spiritual rice just for a bite of turtle meat.
"Sixty-three pounds of spiritual rice."
Jia Ren saw that fewer and fewer monks were raising prices, so he stepped in.
There is only one competitor left, and both parties are relatively restrained. Each time they raise a price, they add a pound of rice. No one wants to be taken advantage of.
In the end, Jia Ren raised the price to 70 kilograms of rice, and there were no more competitors.
"Jia Daoyou has a rich net worth."
The skinny middle-aged man handed over the turtle with a smile and looked at Jia Ren expectantly.
There was not enough broken spiritual rice, so Jia Ren had to take out a hundred kilograms of rice bag and pour out seventy kilograms of spiritual rice and give it to him.
Hand in hand rice, hand in hand tortoise.
"Is Fellow Daoist Jia willing to sell the remaining thirty kilograms of spiritual rice?"
