Ning Fan was stunned. This old man who was constantly cursing had such a strong aura force. He was actually a Void Inquiry Stage old monster!
However, judging from this person's words, this person had been hiding here before and had no ill intentions towards him. He had only been sleeping.
Thinking about it carefully, it made sense.
The landing point of Ning Fan's teleportation from the fourth floor to the fifth floor was random. How was it possible for someone to hide and ambush him in advance?
This old man was just sleeping in this place. That was all. He did not have the intention to attack Ning Fan at all.
The old man could only blame himself for choosing the wrong place to sleep as he had to choose the place where Ning Fan landed.
Any cultivator who had just arrived at a certain place and suddenly discovered an expert hiding beside them would feel nervous.
Ning Fan did not directly kill the elderly man. Instead, he forced him to reveal his concealment. That was already giving him a lot of face.
"Why would a Void Inquiry Stage old monster appear on the fifth floor of the lightning tower … According to Hong Yi's information and the memories of the lightning lord of the fourth floor, there shouldn't be any Void Inquiry Stage experts in the first ten floors of the lightning tower. Could it be that this old man was an expert who had descended from the tenth level and above? Is his name Lei Shiyi? "
While Ning Fan was deep in thought, he activated the lightning star and lightning diagram to guard against any sudden attacks from the elderly man.
A Void Inquiry Stage old monster could fight against several Void Glimpse Stage experts.
Even though he had killed three Void Glimpse Stage experts in succession, he had absolutely no chance of winning against a Void Inquiry Stage expert. At most, he could use the Heaven Deceiving Cloak to conceal himself and protect himself.
Surprisingly, even though the old man's dream was disrupted by Ning Fan and he was filled with resentment, after he gave Ning Fan a deep look, all of his killing intent was dispelled.
Ning Fan was observing the elderly man while the latter was also observing him.
He sensed a hint of danger from Ning Fan's lightning star. He did not know that it was the Tai Su Lightning Star but he knew that it had a heaven-defying restraining effect on him.
The elderly man rolled his eyes. After seeing Ning Fan's strength, he actually did not want to be his enemy anymore.
The old man cracked open his mouth, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. His smile was rather wretched as he cupped his fists towards Ning Fan.
"Little friend, you're not weak? Hehe, you're a dead spirit cultivator from the lower four floors? I'm Lei Shiyi from the eleventh floor. How about we become friends? "
"Eleventh floor!" Ning Fan's eyes narrowed. This old man was indeed an expert from the tenth floor.
This person was angry at first, but after examining him, he was smiling and amiable. He was probably shocked by him.
This person was rather powerful. Since he did not plan to attack, Ning Fan would not take the initiative to attack a Mid Void Refinement Realm cultivator either.
As for the old man's suggestion to make friends …
Ning Fan was noncommittal and cupped his fists.
"Farewell!"
After saying his goodbyes, he was actually about to leave.
Ning Fan had no intention of befriending the old man. He had only come here for the Thunder Leaf and did not want to cause any trouble.
"Are you collecting Dark Gold Bamboo Leaves?" The old man's eyes suddenly flashed, and all of the wretched look on his face disappeared.
"…" Ning Fan did not answer. His eyes became serious again. He was secretly surprised. How did this old man know that he was collecting dark golden bamboo leaves?!
"Don't be nervous. This old man just smelled the scent of bamboo leaves from your body. That's all. Hehe, this old man's nose has always been very sensitive … and not only did this old man smell the bamboo leaves, En? He even smelled the scent of thunder jades. 156, no, 157 silver jades! Among them, four of them have almost reached the standard of Golden Jade … Little friend, you are very rich, hehe. "
As soon as the old man mentioned the word 'money', his eyes suddenly turned fiery.
"I don't understand what you mean!" Ning Fan's tone was cold. Inwardly, however, he was a little surprised. This old man is really good. He can even smell how many silver jades I have.
"Thunder jades are the supreme treasures that undead spirits use to increase their cultivation base. They are also the currency of the tenth floor and above. On the eleventh floor, those who possess one hundred silver jades are all Void Refinement Realm experts. Judging from your expression, you don't seem to have heard that thunder jades are the currency of the upper floors? "The old man was slightly surprised.
"It's my first time coming to the fifth floor."
"No wonder. No wonder. So that's how it is. Hehe … Hehe …" The old man rubbed his hands and his mind was racing.
He could see that Ning Fan's cultivation base was at the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm but he only treated him as an undead spirit.
Naturally, he could not understand why a Divine Transformation Realm undead spirit with 157 silver jades would not devour them.
To an undead spirit, 157 silver jades was an extremely large amount of magic power.
Or could it be that Ning Fan did not have the intention to devour the silver jades in the first place and he was just using them as currency?
However, Ning Fan had never been to the tenth floor and above. It was very strange that he did not know the rules of the upper floors.
The old man became even more puzzled but he no longer thought about these details.
At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind.
Ning Fan had quite a lot of 'money'. He had 157 silver jades in total and his strength was not bad.
Ning Fan could become one of his customers!
Lei Shiyi was a merchant. A merchant who roamed the eleventh floor.
What he was most passionate about was to exchange the useless trash of the upper floors for thunder jades from the experts of the lower floors.
Of course, the transaction also depended on the target.
If Ning Fan was slightly weaker, Lei Shiyi could directly kill him and snatch his jade. Why would he need to make a transaction?
However, Ning Fan was able to force him out of his invisibility and gave him a sense of danger. This made Lei Shiyi rather fearful and he did not have the intention to look down on Ning Fan at all.
In that case, it would be safer for him to conduct a legitimate transaction. It would be best if he did not become Ning Fan's enemy.
"Hehe. This old man is Lei Shiyi. How should I address you, Little Friend?"
"Zhou Ming."
"Oh, it's Little Friend Zhou. Little Friend, you have quite a lot of money. Are you interested in buying some things? I'm a merchant and I have quite a lot of good things with me. All of them were exchanged from the eleventh floor. Perhaps, there might be something that you need! "
"Buy your things? What do you have? "
Ning Fan was slightly stunned. He had obtained a lot of thunder jades from killing the undead spirits. However, these thunder jades were useless to him.
As it turned out, the thunder jades that were completely useless to him could also be used to buy things? That would be great.
As soon as Lei Shiyi saw that Ning Fan was interested, he immediately revealed a greedy smile. He knew that business had come to him.
He untied his storage pouch and took out some miscellaneous items. There was no lack of magic treasures, pills and cultivation methods.
Undead spirits did not know how to refine weapons or concoct pills. These pills and magic treasures belonged to the dead.
Most of the magic treasures were damaged and their power was greatly reduced. Many of the pills had expired and their medicinal power was lost.
However, to undead spirits, these items were extremely rare and precious.
Cultivation methods, in particular, were even more precious.
To low-level undead spirits, a good cultivation method could totally help them break through to a high level.
Unfortunately, none of these items could catch Ning Fan's attention.
He was not an undead spirit but an ordinary cultivator. He did not need some broken cultivation methods, damaged magic treasures and expired pills at all.
When Lei Shiyi saw Ning Fan's eyes scanning through the pills and magic treasures without any reluctance, he was slightly surprised. However, there was also admiration in his eyes.
He did not even take a liking to these good items. Ning Fan really has a high standard. Perhaps he is an expert!
Lei Shiyi thought to himself. If Ning Fan is an expert, I might have to take out some good items to sell to Ning Fan.
Just as this thought rose in his mind, he was nearly choked to death by Ning Fan's words.
"Oh? You still have primordial lightning? "
Ning Fan's eyes lit up. He saw tens of primordial lightning in a sealed state in a jade box.
These primordial lightning were good items to cultivate the Primordial Lightning Armor!
"Hehe. Of course I have primordial lightning … You like this?"
Lei Shiyi's eyes revealed a strange expression. Faintly, there was also a hint of disdain.
What kind of bullsh * t expert is he? He doesn't know anything at all. He doesn't like magic treasures and pills but he likes trash like primordial lightning. What kind of bullsh * t judgment does he have?
In Lei Shiyi's eyes, primordial lightning was trash. It was pure trash.
Due to the special identity of undead spirits, they could not devour primordial lightning. Normally, only a few undead spirits who practiced uncommon cultivation methods could use primordial lightning.
Other than this, primordial lightning only had one other useless use.
If an undead spirit pays a huge price, it could extract a trace of undead spirit lightning power from primordial lightning and devour it. However, this trace of undead spirit lightning power was only equivalent to one percent of the lightning power of a lightning jade.
Paying such a huge price to obtain one percent of the lightning power of a lightning jade was really not worth it. No one would do such a foolish thing.
Therefore, primordial lightning was trash to undead spirits.
Since Ning Fan liked trash and wanted to buy it, Lei Shiyi naturally underestimated Ning Fan.
"How much are you selling primordial lightning for?"
"Three traces of primordial lightning for one silver jade!" Although Lei Shiyi's heart was filled with disdain, his face was wearing a forthright and generous smile.
Selling three pieces of trash for one silver jade was already a sky-high price. He obviously wanted to scam Ning Fan.
Besides, Lei Shiyi was certain that Ning Fan was a rookie who had never seen the world. It was very easy for him to scam him.
"Three lightnings and one jade?" Ning Fan was slightly surprised.
Killing a Divine Transformation Realm dead soul would give him a bolt of primordial lightning and a lightning jade. Normally, primordial lightning and lightning jades should be of equal value.
However, Lei Shiyi's asking price of three primordial thunders for one piece of silver jade was a little too cheap.
Ning Fan could not help but let his imagination run wild. With just a glance, he could tell that primordial lightning was not as precious as silver jade in Lei Shiyi's eyes.
Then, he looked at Lei Shiyi's expression. Although it was well-hidden, there was still a hint of disdain, as if he was mocking Ning Fan for buying trash.
Ning Fan guessed inwardly. Could it be that among the undead spirits, primordial lightning is not very useful and is extremely cheap?
"Ten traces of primordial lightning for one silver jade." Ning Fan tried to bargain.
"What?! Ten Thunders and One Jade? Little friend, selling three primordial lightning for one silver jade is already very cheap. You're selling it at a loss! How can you still have the heart to bargain with me? "
Lei Shiyi was stunned. He did not expect that Ning Fan would bargain with him.
"Twenty traces of primordial lightning for one silver jade." Ning Fan lowered the price again.
"Wait! Twenty thunders for one jade, this old man is really suffering a loss! This is just like asking for my life. No way! I can't accept this price! "
"Thirty traces of primordial lightning for one silver jade." Ning Fan became even more certain that primordial lightning was extremely worthless to undead spirits!
"Wait! Little friend, let's discuss this. Why don't we go back to the previous price? Ten traces of primordial lightning for one silver jade … What do you think?! "Lei Shiyi's eyes were filled with anxiety. Ning Fan was haggling too fiercely. The price was getting lower and lower.
"Forty …"
"Wait! Thirty traces of primordial lightning for one jade. Deal! "Lei Shiyi finally made the final decision. He was really afraid of Ning Fan.
If he continues to bargain with him, perhaps even one hundred traces of primordial lightning would not be able to be sold for one silver jade in the end.
Lei Shiyi stared at Ning Fan deeply. He could already tell that Ning Fan was not a fool and would not be tricked easily.
However, he could not understand why an undead spirit with a normal intelligence would be willing to use the incomparably precious lightning jades to buy a pile of trash.
"Forget it. What's the point of thinking about this …" Lei Shiyi shook his head. After all, primordial lightning was just trash to him. As long as he could sell it to Ning Fan and earn some money, he would not care about what use Ning Fan had for it.
"I have a total of one thousand and two hundred traces of primordial lightning. That's forty silver jades!" Lei Shiyi passed a storage pouch to Ning Fan and said with a smile while rubbing his hands.
"If you have more primordial lightning in the future, sell all of them to me." Ning Fan paid forty silver jades and smiled in satisfaction.
"Don't worry! I will return to the eleventh floor now and purchase as much primordial lightning as I can. I will sell all of them to you! This is my 'Thunder Sound Jade'. If I manage to purchase enough primordial lightning, I will certainly contact you again. "The elderly man patted his chest and guaranteed.
With Lei Shiyi's connections, it was definitely not difficult to purchase some primordial lightning from the eleventh floor.
Moreover, the purchase price was definitely lower than the price of one hundred lightning jades. As for trash, he could probably get some from many places.
Being able to sell trash like primordial lightning to Ning Fan at a high price of thirty lightning jades for one jade, Lei Shiyi was very satisfied.
He decided to buy more trash. Perhaps, Ning Fan liked to buy trash?
Lei Shiyi's mood was also Ning Fan's mood.
To Lei Shiyi, primordial thunder was trash. To Ning Fan, the lightning jades were the useless trash.
Be it silver grade lightning jades or gold grade lightning jades, Ning Fan could not devour any of them like the undead spirits.
Ning Fan had definitely made a profit by exchanging forty pieces of trash for 1200 traces of primordial lightning.
If Jiang Yi could refine all 1200 traces of essence lightning, his Thunder Armor could easily break through to the fourth tier. He might even be able to advance from silver armor to gold armor!
If he were to collect one thousand and two hundred traces of primordial lightning by himself, he would need to kill one thousand and two hundred Divine Transformation Realm experts all by himself.
Leaving aside the danger and difficulty, killing 1200 Soul Formation cultivators would require a huge amount of time to find them. How could he have the time?
"Lei Shiyi … This profiteer is quite useful to me. With him around, I don't have to spend so much effort to look for primordial lightning. Ning Fan muttered to himself.
His gaze briefly swept past Lei Shiyi's miscellaneous items before a flash appeared in his eyes again.
In the pile of miscellaneous goods, he saw a ball of dark green cold air.
That ball of cold energy was placed in the corner by Lei Shiyi like it was trash, as if he didn't care about it at all.
However, to Ning Fan, this item was definitely not trash!
"Heavenly Frost Cold Qi!"
Ning Fan was slightly surprised. He did not expect to find a type of Heavenly Frost Cold Qi in this place. Since he came across it, he naturally had to buy it.
However, his expression did not change at all. Instead, he pointed at the Heavenly Frost Cold Qi and asked casually.
"What is this? How much is it? "
"Oh? Little Friend, you're asking about this? This is a type of Fifth Grade Cold Qi. As for its specific type, I don't really know. Little Friend, you should know that cold qi belongs to the water element while we are all undead spirits. We were born in lightning towers and our bodies belong to the lightning element. To us, treasures of the water element are completely useless … Little Friend, do you want to buy it? "
Lei Shiyi's eyes lit up. As expected, his judgment was right.
Ning Fan was a strange person. Even though he was not easy to scam, he loved to buy all kinds of trash.
What use is a Fifth Grade Cold Qi to undead spirits? Only an idiot would use lightning jades to exchange for cold qi.
However, if Ning Fan wants to be an idiot, Lei Shiyi would have no objection at all.
Since he could tell that Ning Fan wanted this cold qi, even if it was worthless, Lei Shiyi would still boast about it to the heavens.
"Hehe. Little Friend, you have good eyesight. Even though this cold qi is useless to undead spirits like us, it can be refined into magic treasures and slightly increase their power. However, this item is the relic of my beloved wife. It always makes me think of her when I see it. I really can't bear to sell this item. Unfortunately, Little Friend really wants it. Thus, I have no choice but to reluctantly part with it … The friendship price is twenty pieces of silver jade! "
"Five pieces of silver jade." Ning Fan said indifferently, ignoring Lei Shiyi's long-winded speech.
"Little Friend, selling this cold qi for five pieces of silver jade is really a little low …"
"Three pieces of silver jade!" Ning Fan began to lower the price.
"Fine! Three pieces of silver jade. Deal! "The elderly man became smarter this time. If he continues to compete, this cold qi would never be able to be sold for a single piece of silver jade.
After all, it was just trash. It was already worth it to be able to sell it for three pieces of silver jade.
Why would he not sell it? How could Lei Shiyi not sell it?
He became even more determined that he must buy countless pieces of trash in the future and sell all of them to Ning Fan, the king of trash!
Ning Fan paid the money and kept the Heavenly Cold Qi. Being despised by Lei Shiyi made him feel uncomfortable.
However, seeing that Lei Shiyi had sold him quite a lot of good items, he decided not to be calculative with him.
Forty pieces of silver jade in exchange for one thousand and two hundred pieces of primordial lightning. He had made a huge profit.
A piece of silver jade in exchange for a type of Heavenly Cold Qi. If the cultivators in the outside world find out about this good thing, they would certainly rush here to exchange for the cold qi regardless of the cost.
Other than the undead spirits who lived in the Black Lightning Tower like Lei Shiyi, who else would treat the Heavenly Cold Qi as trash?
The Heavenly Cold Qi was too much of a waste …
"Hehe! I'm leaving now! When I find some good stuff, I'll come and trade with Little Friend. "Lei Shiyi smiled wretchedly and left in a flash.
Ning Fan ignored him. He just stared at the ball of dark green cold qi in his palm and tried to identify it carefully.
"The Heavenly Cold Qi is ranked second … Long Emotion Tear? A tear can make love long and a tear can cut off love. It is said that if a cultivator refines this cold qi, their Dao Heart will be as firm as a rock. They will be like a young lady who longs for love for a long time and will not be disturbed by anything. "
"With its miraculous effect of consolidating one's Dao Heart, this item can be sold for at least five hundred million immortal jade in the Endless Sea!"
"What a joke. That Lei Shiyi really doesn't know what's good for him … The saying 'buying a casket and returning the pearls' is exactly what he is talking about."
