After Wang Changsheng closed the door, the middle-aged woman stretched out a palm and pressed it on the left wall, activating the restriction of the house. Only then did she sit down on a stone chair. [No pop-up window …]
Seeing this situation, Wang Changsheng nodded and sat across from the middle-aged woman.
"I am Kong Hong. How should I address you?" The middle-aged woman introduced herself.
"Chen Hua." Wang Changsheng casually gave a fake name.
Kong Hong's sleeve shook, and a set of exquisite tea set appeared on the stone table. She poured a cup of tea for herself and Wang Changsheng, and said with a smile, "Chen Daoyou, this is our Wuyuan County's specialty spiritual tea, the Five Spirit Tea. Fellow Daoist can try it."
Wang Changsheng shook his head and said with a frown, "Fellow Daoist Kong, let's get down to business first! We can drink the tea later. "
Seeing this situation, Kong Hong did not insist. After drinking the tea in her hand, she said, "I don't know what kind of Tian Ji House fellow daoist wants to buy. A low-level Tian Ji House like this only costs a little more than a hundred Spirit Stones. High-level ones come with restrictions, and the price ranges from a thousand Spirit Stones to tens of thousands of Spirit Stones. If Chen Daoyou doesn't like this kind of shape, there are also pagoda-shaped, pavilions, houses, and other kinds of shapes. There are even small Immortal's Cave like Tian Ji Houses."
Hearing this, Wang Changsheng's face was a little moved. When traveling, sometimes it was inevitable to sleep in the wilderness. If he had this kind of house, it would undoubtedly be much more convenient.
After thinking carefully, Wang Changsheng asked, "How many Spirit Stones does the Immortal's Cave like Tian Ji House cost?"
"Fifty thousand Spirit Stones."
"What? Fifty thousand Spirit Stones? "Wang Changsheng was shocked by this price. Even if he sold everything he had, he would not be able to gather fifty thousand Spirit Stones.
"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be surprised. We didn't set the price. The Heaven's Secrets House is made by the Heaven's Secrets Pavilion. A cave dwelling shaped Heaven's Secrets House is not something that we can afford. Even if we can afford it, the Heaven's Secrets Pavilion won't.
Shh, as far as I know, the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets has only produced a few Immortal's Cave shaped House of Heavenly Secrets. Most of them are sold to those old freaks in the Yuanying stage. For Foundation Establishment cultivators like us, buying a low-grade House of Heavenly Secrets is enough. "
Wang Changsheng nodded. This kind of Heaven's Secret House was indeed not something he could get his hands on. Buying a low-level Heaven's Secret House was not a bad idea. Who knows when it would come in handy. However, before that, he needed to get rid of some things on him.
"I have some things in my hands. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Kong is willing to buy them." After saying that, Wang Changsheng took out a storage pouch and threw it on the stone table.
Kong Hong did not stand on ceremony. She opened her storage bag and emptied it. A large pile of items immediately appeared in the stone house.
Seeing the items on the ground, a trace of surprise flashed through Kong Hong's eyes. However, she quickly returned to normal and began to count them one by one.
After a quarter of an hour, Kong Hong withdrew her gaze and pondered for a moment before saying, "Fellow Daoist Chen, our Kong Family is willing to purchase these items for 8,000 Spirit Stones. What do you think?"
"Eight thousand Spirit Stones?" Wang Changsheng's muttering voice came from the cloak. From his words, it seemed that he was not satisfied with this price.
"Chen Daoyou, this price is not low. After all, some of these items may not be able to see the light of day. We have to transport them to a very distant place.
Shh, moreover, some of the magic tools have been damaged. Eight thousand Spirit Stones is already a very good price. "Kong Hong shook her head and explained as she pointed to the items on the ground.
"Hmph, it's not my first time doing this. Eight thousand Spirit Stones is indeed too little. I remember that your Kong Family is not the only one doing this business! If I show these items to the Nangong Family and the Wu Family, I'm sure they'll be interested. "Wang Changsheng snorted softly through the cloak and said with some dissatisfaction.
Hearing this, Kong Hong's expression changed slightly. After pondering for a moment, she said, "Add another three hundred Spirit Stones."
"Five hundred."
"Five hundred is too much. Four hundred."
"Deal." Wang Changsheng's face revealed a smile. With these eight thousand four hundred Spirit Stones, he would definitely be able to purchase dozens of hundred-year-old spiritual herbs. He then thought of something and added, "That's right, I want a low-level Divine Secret House. Give me the rest of the Spirit Stones!"
"There will be many good items up for auction. Since you're here, don't miss it!" As Kong Hong spoke, she used an empty storage bag to store all the items on the ground. Then, she took out eighty-three mid-tier Spirit Stones and a low-level Divine Secret House.
After Wang Changsheng confirmed that the number of Spirit Stones was correct, he put away the Spirit Stones and the Divine Secret House. He then pushed open the door of the stone house and walked out.
There were many stalls in the square.
There was a wide variety of goods. There were talismans, magic tools, pills, spiritual herbs, and other cultivation items. There was even a set of formation flags for setting up formations. However, they were only formation flags and formation discs for the Five Elements Maze Formation. This formation only had the effect of trapping the enemy. It was very simple and could be easily broken by people who knew a little about formations. It could barely trap a cultivator in the Qi Refinement Stage for a period of time. As for a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, it was basically impossible.
Even so, rogue cultivators and cultivators from small sects were very interested in this set of formation flags. However, in the face of the sky-high price of three hundred Spirit Stones, they could only look at it in awe.
There were many goods in the stalls. There were many strange things that Wang Changsheng had never seen before. However, he only glanced at them and walked away. To him, only spiritual herbs that were more than a hundred years old were worth his time.
There were two ways to trade. One was to buy with Spirit Stones, and the other was to barter.
There were spiritual herbs on the stalls.
However, most of them were spiritual herbs that were less than a hundred years old. After walking around for an hour, Wang Changsheng only bought more than ten stalks of hundred-year-old spiritual herbs. This made him somewhat disappointed.
However, he also understood that hundred-year-old spiritual herbs were relatively rare. These cultivators from small sects or rogue cultivators occasionally obtained hundred-year-old spiritual herbs.
Therefore, they were rarely put on the stalls for sale.
Fortunately, there were many stalls in the square. After walking for a while, he could still find hundred-year-old spiritual herbs. The hundred-year-old spiritual herbs in these stalls were more than ten Spirit Stones more expensive than the ones on the market. Wang Changsheng did not care and bought them one by one.
After walking around, Wang Changsheng found that if there were more onlookers at the stalls, the value of the goods would be higher. Therefore, he specifically went to those places with more people.
"Yi, why are there so many people?" Immortal Wang let out a light cry of surprise, muttering to himself.
Following his gaze, Wang Changsheng saw more than thirty cultivators surrounding a small stall and pointing at it. Because there were too many people in the surroundings and all kinds of bargaining sounds, Wang Changsheng couldn't hear what they were saying clearly.
Seeing this situation, his heart stirred and he quickly walked over.
The stall owner was a young girl with delicate features. She looked to be around ten years old, but she was a Foundation Establishment cultivator. The young girl's clothes had a pattern of a purple mountain peak. Those with a bit of knowledge knew that this was the symbol of a large cultivation sect, Purple Cloud Mountain.
Purple Cloud Mountain was founded by Fairy Purple Cloud. Its disciples were all female cultivators. When this sect accepted disciples, in addition to aptitude and gender, they also had very high requirements for appearance. Those who were slightly uglier would not be able to enter the sect.
Wang Changsheng looked through the gaps in the crowd and was barely able to see the goods on the stall.
The stall was filled with talismans. There were Fireball Talismans, Water Arrow Talismans, Wind Blade Talismans, and other elementary talismans.
There was also a rectangular wooden box. Beside the wooden box, there was a wooden sign with a line of words clearly written on it:
"A four hundred year old Black Sun Ginseng in exchange for a high grade talisman pen."
When he saw the words on the wooden board, Immortal Wang was enlightened. He finally knew why this stall was surrounded by so many people.
To tell the truth, even a Core Formation cultivator would be tempted by a four hundred year old spiritual herb, let alone these Foundation Establishment cultivators. However, the stall owner had clearly stated that she wanted to exchange it for a high grade talisman pen. This was somewhat difficult.
Talisman pens were magic tools that only talisman masters could use. They were not common, and even if they were, most of them were low to middle grade. As for high grade talisman pens, their rarity was not inferior to talisman treasures. It was no wonder that they were unable to reach an agreement.
For a talisman master, if they didn't have enough magic power, forcefully using a high grade talisman pen to draw talismans would not only not increase their talisman crafting rate, but would instead decrease it.
Because talisman masters were distracted by cultivating talisman crafting techniques, most of their cultivations were not high. Most of them were in the Qi Condensation stage. There weren't many talisman masters who were able to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage. As for Core Formation stage talisman masters, they were even rarer existences. Thus, even if a tool refiner was able to forge a high grade talisman pen, it would be very difficult for them to succeed.
As time went by, high-grade talisman pens rarely appeared in the market.
Others didn't have it, but it didn't mean that Wang Changsheng didn't have it. The Taiqing Palace's talisman crafting techniques were famous in the Great Song Dynasty's cultivation world, and the number of talisman masters there far exceeded other cultivation forces. Thus, high grade talisman pens could still be obtained in the Taiqing Palace. Coincidentally, Wang Changsheng had a high grade talisman pen that he had never used before.
Xu Yi had given Wang Changsheng a talisman pen, but it was only a middle grade talisman pen. On the other hand, Zhao Xiaoshan was more generous and gave him a high grade talisman pen as a congratulatory gift. Because of the unique treasure, the Demon Subduing Brush, Wang Changsheng had never been able to use it.
When Wang Changsheng exchanged talisman crafting experiences with other talisman masters in the sect, he heard a talisman master say that the hair of a high grade talisman pen was at least SI.
The neck hair of a demonic beast was required. As for the pen shaft, it had to be at least three hundred years old spirit bamboo. The price of a four hundred year old spirit herb ranged from six hundred to eight hundred spirit stones. Using a four hundred year old spirit herb to exchange for a high grade talisman pen was a bit of a loss.
If Wang Changsheng didn't guess wrong, this woman should be a talisman master. Moreover, she needed to practice drawing middle grade talismans. Otherwise, she wouldn't need a high grade talisman pen.
Although the young woman was being watched by so many people, her expression didn't change in the slightest. In addition to her identity as a disciple of the Zixia Mountain, her middle grade Foundation Establishment cultivation was also one of the things she relied on.
The young woman shook her head from time to time, and her lips would occasionally squirm a few times. Obviously, she was using sound transmission techniques to communicate with other cultivators. However, the wooden box was still properly placed on the stall. It was very obvious that no one could take out a high grade talisman pen.
"Fairy, I am willing to use a high grade flight type magic tool to exchange with you. If it really doesn't work, I will pay eight hundred spirit stones to buy this Black Yang Ginseng." A thin middle-aged man said somewhat excitedly. His gaze was fiery as he looked at the wooden box on the stall.
Most of them would use secret vocal transmissions to communicate with each other. That was because they did not want others to know the details of the transaction. This fellow, on the other hand, had openly shouted out his offer. It was as though he was not worried about being targeted by cultivators with ill intentions.
Some people noticed that there was a scroll pattern on the left side of the middle-aged man's chest. This was one of the hosts of the Lingzhi Convention, the Kong Family's clan emblem. The middle-aged man was surprisingly a disciple of the Kong Family.
The young woman also discovered the middle-aged man's identity. Her shapely eyebrows slightly wrinkled. Just as she was about to open her mouth to say something, a voice full of disdain suddenly sounded. "Humph, a high grade flight type magic tool wants to exchange for a four hundred year old Black Yang Ginseng. This is too stingy!"
As soon as the words fell, a handsome white-clothed youth holding a red folding fan squeezed through the crowd. Beside the white-clothed youth were several young men and women. They all had a wave pattern on their clothes.
"Nangong Lang, it's you. Why didn't you stay in your Jade Pool to cultivate? What are you doing here?" Seeing the white-clothed youth, the middle-aged man's face suddenly sank. His gaze was rather unfriendly.
"Humph, do I need to discuss where I go with you? But you, a loser, still dare to wander around. "The white-clothed youth said with a mocking expression.
"A loser! You're a bit thick-skinned. "A white-clothed woman said with a smile.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's face alternated between red and white. He was indeed not a match for the white-clothed youth. However, under the gaze of so many people, he naturally wasn't willing to admit that he was inferior to the white-clothed youth. This wasn't a loss of face for him, but for his family's face.
He hurriedly opened his mouth to refute. "Humph, last time I just advanced to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. My realm hasn't stabilized yet, so I lost to you. If you have the ability, let's find a place to fight again. This time, I definitely won't lose to you."
"Alright! Let me see the power of your Kong Family's Haoran Art. However, before that, I still have some matters to take care of. "After speaking, the white-clothed youth smiled at the young girl and said," Fairy, I'm willing to use two bottles of Spirit Gathering Pills to exchange for your Black Sun Ginseng. What do you think? "
Hearing this, the young girl's face was somewhat moved. After thinking for a while, she shook her head and calmly said, "No, I only want a high grade glyph pen. Other than a high grade glyph pen, I don't want anything else."
Seeing this situation, the white-clothed youth frowned. Just as he was about to raise the price, a man's voice came from behind him. "I have a high grade glyph pen. I don't know if you're interested."
As the voice fell, a man wearing a cloak squeezed in. It was Wang Changsheng.
Wang Changsheng's original intention was to wait for the crowd to disperse before talking to the young girl. However, the Kong Family and the Nangong Family's disciples had both made bids. Furthermore, the items that they had offered had even tempted him. If he didn't open his mouth, this four hundred year old Black Sun Ginseng would likely be bought by someone else.
The white-clothed youth looked at the cloaked Wang Changsheng and said, "Fellow Daoist, I'm willing to use one thousand Spirit Stones to purchase the high grade glyph pen in your hand. How about it?"
"Sorry, I don't lack Spirit Stones." Wang Changsheng shook his head and handed a rectangular wooden box to the young girl, indicating for her to see.
The young girl opened the wooden box to take a look. Inside the wooden box was a silver brush that was about a foot long. The brush emitted a faint light and was quite extraordinary.
A wisp of delight flashed in the young woman's eyes when she saw this scene, and she said, "Not bad, it's a high-grade talisman crafting brush. I'll take this high-grade talisman crafting brush, and this Wuyang Ginseng is yours."
After saying this, she handed the wooden box to Wang Changsheng.
