Could it be that although the woman looked young, she was actually an old woman that was over a hundred years old?
Liu Ming shook his head and threw this thought to the back of his mind. Accompanied by the old man, he entered an elegantly decorated small room on the second floor. Immediately, a pretty woman came up and offered a cup of fragrant tea.
Afterwards, the old man left the room and went to find the owner that he spoke of.
After a short while, the sound of footsteps could be heard from outside the room. A middle-aged woman wearing a long purple dress walked in under the guidance of the old man.
This woman's appearance seemed ordinary, but after a few more glances, she gave off a feeling of extraordinary grace.
At this time, the old man introduced:
"Fellow, this is the owner of this house, Madam Jade. This fellow Daoist is the owner of the demon bones I mentioned earlier. "
"Madam Jade."
Liu Ming stood up and gave a slight bow.
"Fellow does not need to be so polite, I am only a Spirit Apostle. I wonder if fellow can take out the Spirit Bones and let me take a look at them. "Madam Jade returned the bow and said with a smile.
"Of course, this is not a problem."
Hearing this, Liu Ming immediately took out the wooden box from his sleeve and placed it on the table.
Madam Jade stepped forward and opened the lid. Using her slender fingers, she picked up a white bone dregs and examined them.
The woman had a very careful appearance and her expression was extremely focused. It was as if she was not holding an unremarkable bone dregs in her hand, but a rare treasure that was hard to find in the world.
After looking for a while, the woman raised her hand and took out a wooden hairpin from her bun. Using the sharp end, she lightly touched the bone dregs in her hand.
An inconceivable thing happened.
The originally light yellow wooden hairpin suddenly changed color and turned into a deep blue.
"It really is the Demon Bone of a Late Liquid Level Demon Beast. Although it is a little less, it is enough to forge a small totem. "The woman finally revealed a trace of joy as she spoke.
"Totem!" Hearing this, Liu Ming's heart moved.
"That's right. The reason why totem is rare is because it is not easy to forge and the success rate is too low. However, it is also because the materials for the totem are too rare. The demon bones of these Condensation Period advanced stage beasts happen to be one of the most suitable main materials for forging spirit weapons. Of course, during the refining process, other supplementary materials must be added, and these are also quite expensive. "The woman reluctantly put the bone fragments back into the box before explaining.
"So that's how it is." When Liu Ming heard this, he suddenly understood. In his heart, his impression of this Madam Yu increased quite a bit.
Everything else aside, the fact that the other party didn't hide the usage of these demon bones and calmly explained the rarity of these items showed that the Hundred Treasures House's good reputation wasn't just for show.
"I heard Elder Wang say that Fellow Daoist didn't intend to sell these items directly. Instead, he seemed to intend to discuss other business with our house. Is this true?" Lady Jade asked.
"I do have such a plan. However, before that, I would like to ask Madam a question. If this box of demon bones were to be sold directly, how many Spirit Stones would your house be willing to pay? "Liu Ming's eyes flashed as he slowly asked.
"The price of a normal totem is around ten thousand to a hundred thousand Spirit Stones. However, if the forging fails, the materials will lose their spiritual nature and can no longer be used. However, we still have to deduct the cost of hiring a high grade blacksmith and other supplementary materials. In addition, our house will also need to earn a sum of Spirit Stones. Thus, our house generally bids around five thousand Spirit Stones for the main materials of a totem. However, considering that these demon bones were left behind by a Condensation Period advanced stage beast, there is a certain chance that they can be used to forge high grade and top grade spirit weapons. Thus, our house can pay an additional two thousand Spirit Stones for this box of demon bones. What does Fellow Daoist think of this price? "Madam Yu thought for a moment before speaking seriously.
"Seven thousand Spirit Stones is indeed a reasonable price." Liu Ming nodded his head. However, his hand that was hidden in his sleeve couldn't help but touch another small wooden box the size of a finger. His face revealed a thoughtful expression.
When Madam Yu saw this, although she had a trace of doubt in her heart, she still wore a smile on her face and didn't urge him to do anything.
"I plan to exchange most of the items in this box for some Fa Li increasing pills. The names and quantities are all written on it. As for the remaining Spirit Stones, I plan to purchase a few glyphs and medicinal ingredients for alchemy. " After thinking for a while, Liu Ming finally didn't take out the small wooden box from his sleeve. Instead, he took out a slip of paper from his body and handed it over.
These items were all things that he had written long ago.
"The pills will all be of low quality, so the quantity naturally won't be a problem. As for the pill refining ingredients and glyphs, I will have someone bring a catalog and a price later. Fellow Daoist can choose as he pleases. "Madam Yu looked at the items written on the slip of paper and immediately agreed.
Soon after, the woman gave an order and the old man immediately took the slip of paper and walked out of the room.
A moment later, the pretty servant girl who had served tea walked in with a thick catalog in her hand.
"Fellow Daoist, take a good look. Most of the items that our store sells are inside. Perhaps there are items that Fellow Daoist will be interested in. That's right, I still don't know Fellow Daoist's name. Would it be possible for you to tell me? "Madam Yu took the catalog and amiably asked.
"My surname is Liu. It's not convenient for me to tell you my full name." Liu Ming took the catalog and indifferently said.
"So it's Liu." Madam Yu faintly smiled. It seemed that she didn't care that Liu Ming didn't tell her his full name.
Liu Ming had already quickly flipped through the catalog in his hand and firmly remembered the items that caught his eye.
After a while, Elder Wang walked in again. This time, there were a dozen or so porcelain bottles of different sizes in his hand. He placed them all on the table next to Liu Ming.
When Liu Ming saw this, his eyes flashed. He put down the catalog in his hand and began to examine the porcelain bottles one by one.
After a while, he nodded his head in satisfaction and said to the old man:
"Aside from these pills, I also need five catties of Deer Fragrance Grass, three stalks of Scarlet Scale Flower, half a catty of Bezoar Powder, three large bottles of Sweet Rain Liquid, and a bottle of Crimson Sand … As for Spirit Glyphs, I need two Divine Speed Glyphs, two Spirit Shield Glyphs, and three Return Spring Glyphs … Okay, that's all. As for the remaining several hundred Spirit Stones, just give them to me. "Liu Ming quickly reported the names of some pill refining ingredients and glyphs.
After Elder Wang finished listening, he glanced at Madam Yu, the owner of the store.
Madam Yu smiled and nodded her head.
Only then did Elder Wang agree and leave the room.
"Liu, since you've bought so many items, I'm afraid that it won't be easy to carry them around. Have you thought about buying a Storage Glyph? "Madam Yu thought for a moment before suddenly speaking to Liu Ming.
"Aren't Storage Glyphs only usable after becoming a Spirit Master? Moreover, using these glyphs for such a small amount of items is truly a waste." When Liu Ming heard this, he was slightly startled as he replied.
"A normal Storage Glyph naturally wouldn't work. However, the White Jade House recently obtained a few Storage Glyphs that had failed to be refined. Although they can only be used once and their capacity isn't large, they are unable to reduce the amount of items stored within. However, with Fellow's Middle Spirit Apostle cultivation, you should be able to barely use them. "Madam Yu said with a light laugh.
After hearing this, Liu Ming's expression slightly changed.
… …
An hour later, when Liu Ming once again walked out of the White Jade House, his hands were still empty.
After he came out this time, he didn't return to the inn he was staying at. Instead, he went directly to the most famous smithing shop in the market. After staying there for four hours, he walked out with a smile on his face.
At this time, the majority of the Spirit Stones on his body and the small, slender wooden box in his sleeve had astonishingly disappeared without a trace.
Soon after, Liu Ming directly returned to the inn he had stayed at the night before and didn't leave again.
When the deadline of three days arrived, his figure once again appeared outside of the valley and rushed to the agreed upon location a few miles away.
There, a large group of Barbarian Ghost Sect disciples were already waiting.
Many people were excitedly discussing what they had seen and heard in the market, but there was no sign of Lei Zhen or Ou Yangfei.
After waiting for a while, another person walked over from the distance.
Liu Ming indifferently looked down and discovered that it wasn't Senior Qian and the others. Instead, it was an extremely voluptuous and enchanting young married woman. Beside her was a skinny boy that seemed to be no more than seven or eight years old.
This woman was dressed in pink clothing and was extremely alluring. As she walked, every movement she made had a soul-stirring and soul-stirring feeling, causing many of the male Barbarian Ghost Sect disciples to stare blankly at her.
When this woman saw that there were so many people in front of her, she seemed to be slightly surprised and immediately brought the boy in another direction.
However, when she had walked a few hundred feet away, the boy suddenly began to wail loudly for some unknown reason.
The young married woman immediately bent down to comfort him, but the boy didn't pay any attention to her. This woman seemed to be extremely anxious and fiercely hit the boy twice.
However, the boy's crying became even more intense.
At this time, Senior Qian and the green-clothed girl slowly walked over from the direction of the valley.
"Junior Lei and Junior Ouyang met Martial Uncle Zhang and obtained some good fortune. Therefore, they will stay here for a while and won't be returning with us." Senior Qian glanced at the young married woman and the boy and a strange light flashed in her eyes as she spoke indifferently.
When the other disciples heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other in dismay.
At this time, Senior Qian had already ordered the green-clothed girl to take out the scroll and once again cast the technique.
After a short while, when the light yellow boat condensed in the air, the Barbarian Ghost Sect disciples naturally flew onto it.
After a rumbling sound, a light barrier appeared and the Misty Boat flew in the direction of the Barbarian Ghost Sect with everyone.
At this time, the boy who was originally crying suddenly stopped and raised his head to look at the back of the Misty Boat in the distance. He coldly glanced at it.
"As expected, they are only Spirit Apostles. There isn't even a single Spirit Master. It seems like we can do a big business. " When the pink-clothed young married woman saw this, she didn't find it strange at all. Instead, she giggled and spoke extremely charmingly.
