Chapter 36 Trade Fair (Seeking Collection, Recommendation, and Investment)
"How about trading with the Firebird Talisman, one Talisman for five black-striped ant eggs?" Sun Mingsheng's eyes swung flexibly, and he had already come up with a plan, proposing another way of trading.
"Firebird Talisman? How many eggs are you going to exchange?" The shy stall owner asked cautiously after a moment of hesitation, and was obviously tempted.
Black-striped ants are only first-level low-grade spiritual insects, and in order to form a strong enough combat power, a lot of time and energy must be invested in cultivation.
For most cultivators, the cultivation resources are not enough to cover the cost, and there is no spare energy to support a large-scale black-striped ant colony.
Since this visit to Yuquan Mountain is to get a good result at the Qiuli Fruit Fair, it is obviously beneficial to exchange some unhatched eggs for some first-level medium-grade Firebird Talismans that can immediately enhance strength. This decision is not difficult to make.
"Six Firebird Talismans in exchange for thirty black-striped ant eggs," Sun Mingsheng said decisively.
If it weren't for the intention to become a member of the family's hunting team in the future, to hunt fire-attributed monsters and use their spirits to enhance the power of the fire-gathering bottle, Sun Mingsheng would not have cultivated these big-eating black-striped ants.
"Six firebird talismans can be exchanged for up to 25 young eggs. If you add one more, we can make a deal." The seemingly shy stall owner did not give in when it came to his own interests.
"Since you are so stubborn, I might as well keep the talisman for use in subsequent duels. Goodbye." Sun Mingsheng would naturally not be a sucker.
If it were in a normal shop specializing in selling spirit beasts in the market, this price would not be expensive, but the Qiuli Fruit Fair was about to start, so naturally he had to take advantage of it.
"Thirty is thirty, deal," the stall owner said unwillingly.
For this Qiuli Fruit Fair, Sun Mingsheng started preparing a year in advance and went all out in drawing the talismans.
A total of 100 first-grade medium-grade fire bird and fire snake talismans, 60 fire wall talismans, and 15 first-grade high-grade fire rock talismans were stored.
Some of them were used for consumption today, which was enough to deal with subsequent battles. Otherwise, how could they be exchanged for black-striped ant eggs at such a cheap price?
Perhaps in the eyes of many high-level cultivators, this is just a low-level spiritual insect used for consumption, but it is a kind of spiritual insect after all, and its value is still unquestionable.
"Unfortunately, there are no spirits of fire-attributed monsters for sale in this trading area. Otherwise, the power of the fire-gathering bottle can be increased by one or two." After an hour, after carefully observing the entire trading area, he said with regret.
Monsters are full of treasures, but it is a pity that it is not easy to collect the spirits of low-level monsters, and they need to be stored with special auxiliary magic tools.
Most cultivators will waste them in vain after hunting monsters, especially some casual cultivators.
Even if some cultivators get the spirit of the monster, they mostly use it for themselves or sell it to some fixed shops, so he is destined to have no gains.
After returning to the bamboo forest courtyard where they temporarily live, Sun Xunmu, Sun Mingzeng and Sun Mingwang are all there.
"Pack up and go to the trade fair together. We will set off in a quarter of an hour." Sun Xunmu ordered with a bad face and left first.
"Yes, nephews understand." In addition to nodding in response, the three did not dare to make any small movements.
Sun Xunmu has been the patriarch for thirty years. It can be said that he has watched the Ming generation grow up since he was a child.
As the patriarch, he has always been extremely serious. In the hearts of the Ming generation, he is also the first person who dare not provoke easily.
"Brother, what's wrong with uncle? Is it not smooth to collect spirit stones?" Sun Mingsheng asked cautiously until Sun Xunmu walked away.
"Tenth brother is short-sighted and bought a broken and unusable first-grade magic weapon at a high price." Sun Mingzeng looked like he was disappointed.
A first-class magic weapon is expensive, and it must have consumed most of the spiritual stones in Sun Mingwang's hands.
These spiritual stones are not only his own, but also earned by his parents who worked hard to complete various tasks for the family at the risk of their lives.
"Tenth brother, why didn't you wait for uncle or elder brother to take a look before buying such an expensive magic weapon?" Sun Mingsheng was completely angry and distressed.
"Big brother, twelfth brother, don't say anything, I'm almost regretting it." Sun Mingwang was completely regretful.
The trading area was divided by the Geng family, but the reason is the same as the stall area for casual cultivators. The quality of various spiritual objects for cultivation is uneven, which is a test of the cultivator's vision. The cultivator who suffers the loss and takes advantage is the cultivator himself.
Without caring too much about blaming, the three of them followed Sun Xunmu to participate in the trade fair held by the Geng family.
Before this, all transactions were just small fights. The trade fair was the highlight of the Qiuli Fruit Fair and the fundamental reason why many families from all directions came.
Compared with this, the gimmick of fighting even has to stand aside, this is the real benefit.
At a trade fair, there must be three or five spiritual objects prepared for the finale, and all of these spiritual objects are treasures with important significance or can be used to increase the family's heritage.
Sun Xunmu had two purposes for this trip. The first task was to find ways to obtain some spiritual objects that were beneficial to building the foundation, which was for both the family and himself.
The second priority was to obtain some spiritual objects that could enhance the family's foundation.
However, both of these goals were very difficult to achieve, and both required a large amount of spiritual stones as the strongest backing.
The Geng family's strength and influence in Zhongshan County might be stronger than that of the Sun family, but it still had not escaped the shackles of small and medium-sized families.
The spiritual objects that were helpful for building the foundation were not enough for self-use, and the possibility of selling them to the outside world was extremely small. More likely, some first-level mid-to-high-quality spiritual fruit trees would be chosen as the finale auction items.
The auction was located at the foot of Yuquan Mountain, in a hall covering a very large area. When Sun Xunmu and his three companions arrived, there were at least a hundred people occupying different positions in the huge hall.
"We're here." Sun Xunmu chose a row of seats in the middle, and then closed his eyes and waited quietly for the auction to begin.
"Brother, are all the treasures at this trade fair genuine?" Sun Mingwang seemed to have forgotten the painful past of the trade zone.
"Of course, every spiritual object that appears at the auction has been appraised by a special appraiser." This is not the first time Sun Mingzeng has participated in an auction, so he naturally has a certain understanding of the rules.
"In the future, all treasures must be purchased at the auction. I wonder if there will be some suitable treasures this time." Sun Mingwang obviously looked like he had forgotten the pain after the wound healed.
After a quarter of an hour of whispering between the two, a female cultivator with a delicate face and a rather exquisite white dress had walked onto the auction stage.
"I am Geng Ningzhu, thank you all for coming to the auction."
