The Price of the Yao Core
Little Zhang said, "Actually, I can tell that Fellow Daoist is determined to get this item. If it was a vendor outside, they would definitely take the opportunity to increase the price. With Fellow Daoist's personality, you would most likely be at a disadvantage."
Li Qingshan agreed. Whether it was his previous life or this life, he had no talent in bargaining. He didn't want to take advantage of others, he just didn't want to be cheated. "Alright, I'll buy this item."
Little Zhang beamed, and Liu Ruping revealed an expression of ecstasy. This time, those little bitches were going to regret their decision.
Li Qingshan said, "However, I don't have enough spirit stones!"
Little Zhang's smile froze. "Fellow Daoist, you really know how to joke!" Liu Ruping's expression instantly turned cold.
Li Qingshan said, "Other than selling items, does this place also buy items?"
Little Zhang said with a bitter expression, "The Arsenal of Arms does buy some weapons, but the price is definitely cheaper than buying." He didn't believe that Li Qingshan could afford the Whale's Ingestion of Water. Could he even take out a high grade spirit artifact to trade for it? It was rare for a great practitioner to have a high grade spirit artifact. No matter how he looked at it, Li Qingshan didn't seem to be one. What a waste of effort!
Who knew that Li Qingshan really did have a high grade spirit artifact, and not just one. The comb and needle from the two grannies, as well as the Cursive Sword Calligraphy, had a total of three. However, he couldn't sell any of them right now.
Liu Ruping couldn't help but mock, "Although this is a miscellaneous goods store, we don't buy all sorts of things. There's a pawn shop just downstairs. Fellow Daoist can try his luck there!"
Li Qingshan asked in return, "How many spirit stones can I pawn the yao core for?"
Little Zhang was stunned at first, then he exclaimed, "Yao core? You have a yao core? "
Liu Ruping frowned. "It's not that easy to get a yao core. Don't tell me you mistook it for some jewel?"
Li Qingshan then took out the beast core he obtained from General White Fang of Black Rat Mountain from his hundred treasures pouch. "I would also like to ask the two of you to appraise this and see if it is a beast core or not!"
The earthy yellow demon core did not have any particularly bright spiritual light, but it contained the heart and blood of a demon for hundreds of years.
Little Zhang and Liu Ruping spent most of their time in this grocery store. Although their cultivation bases weren't high, their eyesight was top-notch. They could tell at a glance that this was the legendary Demonic Core.
Liu Ruping couldn't help but extend her hand to touch it, wanting to take a look. However, Li Qingshan had already put the Yao Core back into the Hundred Treasures Pouch. "Then I'll go ask around at the pawn shop."
Liu Ruping hurriedly pulled on Li Qingshan's sleeve and bowed in apology. "I misunderstood you just now. Please be magnanimous and don't offend me. Wait a moment, I'll go invite our head shopkeeper over." She intentionally or unintentionally revealed the snow-white peaks inside her collar.
If the head shopkeeper found out that she had chased away a customer who wanted to sell a yao core, then she wouldn't need to stay here anymore. Moreover, in this period of buying and selling, she could earn spirit stones that she normally wouldn't even earn in a month. She raised her head and looked at Li Qingshan with a pleading expression. That robust figure seemed to be filled with masculine charm. Even if he had any special requests, it wasn't like she couldn't consider it.
Li Qingshan glanced at the collar and knew that although five buckets of rice couldn't make people bow down, one yao core was enough. Perhaps it could even do more!
Little Zhang also said, "Fellow Daoist, you must stay. I already knew that this Whale's Ingestion of Water was prepared for you! Actually, I wanted to give you a discount, but I'll have to wait for the head shopkeeper to come before I can make the decision. "
Li Qingshan pondered for a moment and realized that he had underestimated the value of this yao core. He had originally thought that it was roughly worth a high-grade spirit artifact. However, a high-grade spirit artifact clearly wasn't enough to make these two people become like this.
Li Qingshan had simply used the spiritual Qi contained in the yao core to estimate its value. However, he didn't know that a yao core was also a necessity to refine some precious spirit pills. It was a sacred medicine that could increase the true Qi and spiritual Qi of a certain attribute.
The thousands of years of peace between the human race and the demon race had directly caused this kind of resource to become rare. Qi Practitioners ventured deep underground not only to harvest spirit herbs, but also to display enough strength. Basically, the demons would choose to escape.
However, Qi Practitioners would most likely set up formations to trap the demons in their nests. Of course, it wasn't to slay demons and slay demons for no reason, but precisely for this yao core.
Li Qingshan pondered for a moment, then said, "Alright then, I'll wait here for a while."
Liu Ruping swayed her hips and quickly left. Not long after, she brought back a stout old woman. Her true Qi had actually reached the ninth layer of Qi Practitioner. Her face was full of wrinkles, and she didn't have the strange arrogance of a granny, nor did she have the lowly feeling of a procuress. Instead, she had an air of nobility about her as she welcomed everyone with a smile.
"I am Shi Peipei. Fellow Daoist, are you selling a yao core?"
Li Qingshan said, "That's right!"
Shi Peipei said, "Can you take it out for me to take a look?"
Li Qingshan hesitated for a moment, then handed the yao core to Shi Peipei. Since the school of Miscellany could establish such a large market square and do so many businesses, they definitely wouldn't destroy their own reputation for a yao core.
Shi Peipei carefully examined it. Liu Ruping's face was full of nervousness. After a moment, Shi Peipei said, "Fellow Daoist, the quality of this earth attribute yao core is very good!"
Li Qingshan said, "May I know how much it's worth?"
Shi Peipei said, "About this, I have a suggestion. Fellow Daoist, listen to it. Before the Herb Gathering Ceremony, there will be an auction in our store. If this yao core is auctioned, it will definitely fetch a lot more spirit stones. We'll only take half of the profit."
Even Foundation Building cultivators would appear at the school of Miscellany's auction. If they didn't have a few valuable items, wouldn't they be looked down upon? And people who could casually take out a yao core would definitely be rich. If they could participate in this auction, they would be able to raise the price even more and set off the scene. This was killing two birds with one stone.
Li Qingshan said hesitantly, "But I'm still in a hurry to use spirit stones to buy things." He wasn't too willing to give this precious yao core to someone else.
Shi Peipei waved her hand and said to Liu Ruping, "Today, as long as this Fellow Daoist's spending doesn't exceed two thousand spirit stones, feel free to directly get the item for him. If Fellow Daoist's yao core can't be auctioned for this price, then put it on our tab. "
Liu Ruping bowed gracefully. "Yes, head shopkeeper!"
Li Qingshan hid his astonishment. The value of this yao core was truly beyond his expectations. However, he seemed to have thought of something and his expression darkened slightly.
Shi Peipei frowned and said, "Is there anything else Fellow Daoist isn't satisfied with?"
Liu Ruping said, "Little Zhang agreed to give him a discount for this high grade spirit artifact!"
Little Zhang rubbed his nose. Shi Peipei asked, "Then we'll round it up and count it as eight hundred spirit stones for Fellow Daoist!"
Li Qingshan said, "Since that's the case, then we'll do as Senior says!" Just Now, what he was thinking about wasn't this. Instead, he was thinking that there would probably never be a day where humans and demons could coexist peacefully. He also had a treasure in his body that was worth more than two thousand spirit stones.
A man's wealth was his own ruin!
