Wang Daoyuan glanced at the stall and saw seven or eight Clear Spirit Grass on the stall. He asked, "How much are these Clear Spirit Grass?"
Clear Spirit Grass was the main ingredient for refining Clear Spirit Pills. When he first discovered the space in the spirit pearl, he planted this spirit herb.
The reason why he didn't ask about the cinnabar ore but the most worthless Clear Spirit Grass was to hide his true intentions and make it easier to bargain.
When the stall owner saw him ask for the cheapest Clear Spirit Grass, he was a little disappointed and replied, "One spirit stone for three stalks. These Clear Spirit Grass are two spirit stones. Daoyou can take them all."
Wang Daoyuan bought the Clear Spirit Grass and paid the spirit stones. He glanced at the stall again and sighed, "Daoyou really has a complete set of spirit items here. Mutton fat jade, hematite, lapis lazuli … If I'm not wrong, this red stone should be cinnabar ore, right?"
After he finished speaking, he even picked up the cinnabar ore and weighed it in his hand. It was a little heavier than before, about 150 kilograms.
With this purity and weight, it could be made into spirit ink that was about 50 kilograms.
When the stall owner saw that he was interested in other things, he immediately became spirited and said, "Daoyou has good eyesight. The names of these spirit items are not wrong at all.
This cinnabar ore is a rank two spirit item. If sold in the Clear Glass Market, three to five thousand spirit stones would be nothing. "
Wang Daoyuan smiled and said, "If sold in the Clear Glass Market, it would indeed be worth this price. But this is the Greenwillow Province. How many of us in the Greenwillow Province dare to go to the Clear Glass Market?
Besides, this cinnabar ore can't be eaten or drunk, and it can't be used to refine magic tools. It can only be used to refine spirit talismans, but that still has to be made into spirit ink.
Many Foundation Establishment clans don't even know how to make spirit ink, let alone us rogue cultivators.
I think this ore of yours is also a material for smashing your hands. "
The stall owner sighed and said, "Who says it isn't?
People like us either committed crimes outside and escaped here and don't dare to go out at all.
Or we were born in the Greenwillow Province and have lived here since young, never going out at all.
No matter which one it is, it's extremely difficult to sell spirit items in the Clear Glass Market.
Besides, if they left the Hundred Rivers Lake, there would be no more spirit boats. There were demonic beasts running amok along the way. With my little bit of cultivation, wouldn't I be courting death if I went out?
What a pity about this ore. If I could get out of here, I would have made a huge profit.
Daoyou, I see that you have reached the late stage of Qi Refinement at such a young age. You have a bright future ahead of you.
You should be able to walk out in the future. Why don't you buy this ore? I'll give you a discount. "
Wang Daoyuan felt a burst of excitement in his heart, but his face revealed an awkward expression. "I don't have any plans to go out for the time being. I have no use for this thing.
I heard that some of the powers outside the Heavenly Slash Mountain Range have opened shops in our Oasis. Why didn't Daoyou sell it to them? "
The stall owner snorted and said discontentedly, "Those people who run these shops are not good people. They bully their customers and keep the prices too low. Many of Daoyou's things were even snatched away by them.
Unless they had a broker to introduce them, they wouldn't be taken advantage of. But those brokers aren't good people either. If you want them to introduce a buyer, you have to charge them an intermediary fee.
A while ago, I asked that old fellow Gao Yuan to help me find a buyer for the Cinnabar Ore. But he actually asked for half the price as an intermediary fee.
He even threatened me and said that if I didn't go through him, the ore would just be smashed in my hands and it wouldn't be worth a single spirit stone.
How can I take this?
I would rather throw it into the river than let this dog take advantage of me. "
The stall owner was so angry that his face turned red. Wang Daoyuan couldn't tell if he was really angry or just acting.
Wang Daoyuan sank into deep thought. From the stall owner's words, he heard some unusual information.
These brokers were really influential. Furthermore, they had some kind of secret agreement with the shops opened by the outside powers.
If the rogue cultivators didn't go through the broker's channels, the shops would take away their spirit items.
If they went through the broker's channels and allowed the broker to earn an intermediary fee, the shops wouldn't deal with them.
The shops of the outside powers were cooperating with the brokers. There was something shady going on!
In Green Willow Province, who had the ability to suppress the outside powers?
Without a doubt, it was only the few foundation establishment cultivators who established Green Willow Province's market.
It was very likely that the higher ups of Green Willow Province were involved. Otherwise, with just a few brokers, they wouldn't have the ability to suppress the rogue cultivators and the outside powers and make them cooperate.
These brokers were very likely the representatives of the higher ups of Green Willow Province.
It seemed that when he wanted to buy the Snow Ganoderma, he wanted to bypass the brokers and break the rules.
Doing so would harm the interests of the higher ups of Green Willow Province. Fortunately, he discovered the clues early. If he continued to do so, he would be dealt with sooner or later.
Fortunately, he didn't let Gao Yuan suffer a loss when he bought the Snow Ganoderma. Gao Yuan wouldn't report such a small matter and there wouldn't be any future trouble.
Of course, even if he reported it, such a small matter wouldn't be worth making a big fuss.
Although these were just guesses, he would rather believe it than not.
If the brokers were truly the representatives of the higher ups of Green Willow Province, if he continued to do business without the brokers, he would be killed by the foundation establishment cultivators sooner or later.
He dared to bypass Gao Yuan before because he had full confidence that he could take down Gao Yuan. But if there was a foundation establishment cultivator behind Gao Yuan, he would be courting death.
In the future, he couldn't play this kind of trick anymore. If he didn't handle it well, he would be provoking the Almighty.
The stall owner looked at Wang Daoyuan for a long time and asked: "Daoyou, what do you think? Do you want to buy this Cinnabar ore? "
Wang Daoyuan came back to his senses and laughed: "I don't have any plans to go out now. If I buy this ore and sell it at Clear Glass Market in the future, I don't know how long I'll have to wait.
We cultivators take cultivation as our number one priority. What's the point of spending spirit stones on a piece of broken rock? "
When the stall owner heard this, he was a bit anxious. It wasn't easy to find someone who was interested in the Cinnabar ore. If this business was not successful, he would have to wait for the next buyer. Who knows how long he would have to wait.
He hurriedly said: "Daoyou, let's do it this way. I see that Daoyou is an honest and considerate person. I'll sell this Cinnabar ore to you at a cheap price. Treat it as making friends with you."
Wang Daoyuan pretended to be in a difficult position and said: "Then Daoyou, how many spirit stones are you selling this ore for?"
Hearing this, the stall owner knew that he was interested and immediately offered a price: "How about five hundred spirit stones?"
This was the price that Gao Yuan gave him. He took it out to test the waters.
Wang Daoyuan was very excited in his heart, but he still pretended to be angry.
When the stall owner saw that the other party was not satisfied, he immediately changed his words: "Forget it, I have fate with Daoyou. I'll sell it to Daoyou for three hundred spirit stones."
Wang Daoyuan put away his angry expression and put on a difficult expression.
The stall owner saw that he was still not satisfied and said: "I'll be honest with Daoyou. I bought it for two hundred spirit stones and have kept it for several years. It's at least two hundred spirit stones and I can't go any lower."
Wang Daoyuan reluctantly replied: "Alright, two hundred spirit stones it is. However, Daoyou have to take out something good to sell to me.
Otherwise, I spent a lot of spirit stones and only brought back this piece of ore. The elders in my family will beat me to death. "
He took the Cinnabar ore and put it into the space in his spiritual pearl. He then handed the two hundred spirit stones to the stall owner.
After selling the Cinnabar Ore, the stall owner took out a white jade box with a smile on his face and said, "Fellow Daoist, you've come at the right time. I just happened to receive some good things, but I don't know how many spirit stones they are worth.
Daoyou also knows the business, so I'll ask Daoyou to take a look. "
The stall owner closed the restriction on the jade box and opened it a little. A fragrant smell rushed out.
