Chapter 58 Bargaining
Fang Yun looked at the classics placed on the table and secretly thought that this bookstore was indeed extraordinary. To be able to support such simplicity with the cultivation of the second level of Qi Refining, there must be something behind it.
There are so many precious classics. Although most of them are first-level skill secrets in the Qi refining stage, it is enough to show that this old man is indeed not simple.
Fang Yun thought for a moment and said, "Can you allow me to read a few pages?"
The old man nodded and started to lift the ban. Fang Yun could freely read the first few pages of each book. Fang Yun took advantage of the opportunity to select a few books that attracted him the most and flip through them.
After a while, he asked with unfinished content: "I wonder how much the "Preliminary Interpretation of Formation" is worth?"
The old man said: "Fellow Taoist is really discerning. Since you are so sincere, how about a hundred spiritual stones?"
"Too expensive, fifty spirit stones!"
The old man shook his head and said: "How can you bargain like this? Just cut it in half and you won't be able to sell it!"
Fang Yun added: "This Basic Formation Guide only introduces the basic knowledge of formations. It doesn't even have the method of setting up formations. Is it worth a hundred spirit stones?"
"Who said there isn't one? It obviously comes with a formation method. The method of setting up the formation is already expensive. One hundred spirit stones can be purchased to learn the formation method, which is already pretty good."
"Sixty spirit stones at most. Dao brother, don't try to trick anyone. The formation is difficult to learn. I'm afraid not many people will buy your formation and Tao classics!"
"Eighty spirit stones, if the price is lower than this, there is no negotiation!"
Fang Yun didn't answer anymore, turned around and asked: "How many spiritual stones are there in these two methods of weapon refining and talisman making?"
What he held up in his hand was the "Complete Collection of Qingyang Sanren Talismans" and "The Preliminary Understanding of Refining Weapons" that he had just read.
"Fifty spiritual stones for the complete collection of talismans and twenty-five spiritual stones for the weapon refining secret book. If you want both, I'll give you seventy spiritual stones!"
"Is the weapon refining secret book so cheap?"
"Yeah, it's much more cost-effective and easier to learn than learning formations!" the old man said with a smile, a little more joking.
Who doesn't know that the bulk of the cost of refining a weapon is not at all in the forging method, but in the materials.
"Let's do this, old man. The price is one hundred and forty-five spiritual stones. I'll take all three secret books plus this book introducing spiritual objects. How about it?"
Fang Yun lowered his bid by another ten spiritual stones. The old man stroked his beard and sighed: "That's it, fellow Taoist, take it!"
"But I have to remind fellow Taoists that time is ruthless and time flies by. Fellow Taoists must not be obsessed with practicing skills. Just focus on making talismans, refining weapons, and formations. Otherwise, when you reach your old age, I will regret it."
"Thank you, Brother Dao, for your advice! Dare you ask me what your name is?" Fang Yun happily gave the spirit stone, and after hearing the other person's heartfelt words, he also asked his name with great admiration.
"My surname is Mu, fellow Taoist, please go slowly!"
Mu Lao collected the spirit stones, unsealed the three books, handed them to Fang Yun, and stood up to see the guests off.
After putting away his books and leaving the door, Fang Yun walked around two or three times and came to the wooden house he often visited before, which was Fatty Qin's shop.
Once inside, this person was much sharper than Mu Lao. Although Fang Yun covered his face and body shape and changed his cultivation level, when he saw Fang Yun, his face still showed some doubts.
Obviously, he doubted whether Fang Yun was someone he had met before.
Fang Yun walked into the store and moved two steps to the left and right. Fatty Qin recognized him immediately and laughed and said: "Hahaha, it's you, fellow Taoist. What? I gathered together the spiritual stones to buy Lingxu grass." of……"
"No, what I want to buy is the cultivation method of Lingxin Grass." Fang Yun said calmly.
"Ah! Come on, fellow Taoist, I've prepared all the secret books for you. What's the use of Lingxin Grass?"
Fang Yun said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, just tell me if you have it? How many spirit stones?"
"Hehe, of course there is. As I said, as long as fellow Taoists have needs, I can find a way. Lingxin grass is not a valuable thing!"
"For thirty spiritual stones, I will still give you twenty spiritual heart grass seeds. How about you pack them up and take them away?"
"It's not a valuable thing. What you sell is more expensive than the Thorn Planting Technique?"
"Haha, after all, it is a good spiritual food supplement. Many casual cultivators like it. If you grow more, you can sell it and sell it. It is easy to earn spiritual stones!"
Fatty Qin originally thought that Fang Yun came here to buy the cultivation method of Lingxu Grass, which was a big deal. However, the other party only bought Lingxin Grass, which made his mood instantly fall to the bottom, and he resentfully increased the price by five spirit stones.
Don't look at these two spiritual plants. They are both first-level spiritual plants. Their names are only one word different, but their values are nearly ten times different.
Fang Yun also said: "Twenty-five spirit stones, if it works, forget it!"
"Oh, I am really convinced by you, fellow Taoist. Twenty-five spiritual stones, take them away!"
For example, various techniques, secrets, books and regulations, as long as it is knowledge that can be copied infinitely, the cost is equivalent to zero.
No matter how you sell, you will make a profit. It just depends on whether the customer bargains or not, and whether the boss is evil or not.
Five more spirit stones were saved, but Fang Yun frowned. The spirit stones were too wasted and he would have to supply more to Liu Hao next time. The progress of refining the Lingyuan Pill also had to be accelerated.
Holding the Seed Condensation Technique and the seeds, Fang Yun rushed home. He made a few detours on the way to make sure no one was following him, and then slowly approached the entrance of the tunnel under the big tree.
After returning home along the tunnel, he first used Mu Yun to communicate with Mu Zhi inside the house at a distance at the exit of the tunnel. Fang Yun did not notice anything unusual before entering the house.
"Damn it! I have to be on tenterhooks when I get home. Don't let me find out which bastard is staring at me. Otherwise, I want you to look good."
After mumbling for a while, Fang Yun started to do business and carefully looked through the books he bought, starting with the Complete Collection of Spiritual Objects.
He turned to the page he had been thinking about and saw a picture at a glance. A golden fruit was hanging on a slender branch.
It was indeed the Thunder Yuan Spiritual Fruit. The second-level spirit fruit Thunder Yuan Spiritual Fruit grows in the deep sea. Its fruit is golden in color, and its surface is covered with silver lightning patterns. When it is fully mature, the whole body will be covered with silver lightning patterns, as if lightning condensed in the sea.
When this kind of fruit is ripe, it will attract various creatures in the deep sea to eat it. The Thunder Yuan Spiritual Fruit has the function of helping monsters break through the realm and help them build their foundation. The same is true for people. However, the thunder and lightning power of the Thunder Yuan Spiritual Fruit is very strong and is not suitable for all cultivators to eat.
Cultivators with thunder spirit roots can easily absorb its power, otherwise only those with strong physique can eat it.
When ordinary practitioners eat it, they are likely to be backlashed by the power of thunder and lightning, causing physical damage.
At the same time, the lightning element contained in the Thunder Yuan Spiritual Fruit can help cultivators cleanse their meridians and marrow and improve their physical fitness. It can be said to be the top variety among the second-level spiritual fruits.
This made Fang Yun break out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he did not swallow the spiritual fruit directly at that time.
