Desert Region
Di Yan looked at the other four and saw them winking at him. He nodded and said to Ning Qi hesitantly, "Daoist Beixuan, what do you think about 40 desert coins?"
Then, he blushed a little.
After all, if he sold the mantis in the market or Cold Wind Valley, the price would be much higher.
40 desert coins?
Ling Dong and the other three looked at each other. They could accept this result. If they sold it like this, each of them would be able to make a profit of four desert coins. The key was that they didn't have to use any strength at all. The forty desert coins could be considered as the cost. After all, if they wanted to capture the Heaven Clamping Mantis alive, they would have to pay a price. If they were injured, they would have to consume elixirs to treat their injuries.
"Sure."
Ning Qi smiled and threw the mantis to Di Yan. Di Yan quickly caught it and heaved a sigh of relief when he realized that the mantis didn't show any signs of waking up. At the same time, he was very happy. If he sold the mantis alive, its price would increase by ten to twenty percent.
Soon, the five of them collected 40 desert coins and gave them to Ning Qi. Di Yan thanked Ning Qi at the same time. They looked at Ning Qi with less vigilance and more gentleness.
Ning Qi's attention was attracted by the Grand Desert Coins. These 40 Grand Desert Coins were about the same size as the one yuan coin on Earth. Ning Qi couldn't tell what material they were made of. They didn't have any aura similar to spirit crystals or Smelting God Stones. However, when Ning Qi squeezed them gently, they didn't deform. The hardness of the material was probably similar to the shell of the Sky Clamping Mantis.
"Daoist Beixuan, is there anything wrong?"
Di Yan asked when he saw Ning Qi staring at the desert coins.
"Nothing. I'm just curious about the desert coins. I wonder what material they are made of and how much are they worth?"
Ning Qi smiled.
The five of them immediately realized that Ning Qi knew nothing about the desert. Otherwise, he would have recognized the Desert Coins. Di Yan explained, "The Desert Coins are made by the strongest sect in the desert, the Xianling Sect. They are made from a type of spiritual material that can be used to make mid-grade Dharma Weapons. But other than Weapon Forgers, normal cultivators like us can't use them to make Dharma Weapons directly. But we can use them to buy elixirs, Dharma Weapons, spiritual materials, etc … Even if we bring them to the outside world, we can use them. But the exchange rate is not satisfactory. So I suggest that you use them to exchange for cultivation resources in the desert."
"I see."
Ning Qi slowly nodded his head. It seemed like the currency here did not directly use God Refining Stones, but materials used to refine magic tools. They probably valued magic tools more.
"Oh, Daoist Di Yan, how many mid-grade Refined God Stones can I get with one desert coin?"
Ning Qi asked.
"Middle-grade Refined God Stone, this is a very rare existence. Basically, only those geniuses who have a Divine Soul of the top three grades and above can use it. Oh, in our desert, one desert coin can be exchanged for one piece of Middle-grade Refined God Stone."
Di Yan was stunned for a moment and said.
"Then how many low-grade Refined God Stones can I get with one mid-grade Refined God Stone?"
Ning Qi asked curiously.
"You can't. No one will use mid-grade Refined God Stones to exchange for low-grade ones."
Di Yan shook his head. Everyone looked at Ning Qi strangely. Why didn't he even know this common sense? He didn't look like an expert who could fight the Sky Clamping Mantis alone.
"Let's not talk here. If other cultivators see the Sky Clamping Mantis and get greedy, we'll be in trouble. Let's go back to the market first!"
Ling Dong hurriedly interrupted.
"Alright, Daoist Beixuan. Since it's your first time here, why don't you come with us? If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask. I'll tell you everything I know."
Di Yan invited Ning Qi to the market. After all, he knew that Ning Qi wouldn't give them such a big gift for no reason. He had to repay Ning Qi with something.
Ning Qi smiled and nodded.
On the way to the market, Ning Qi found out that the place he was in was called the Great Desert Region. It was under the jurisdiction of the Xianling Sect. There were ten palaces under each palace, ten prefectures under each prefecture, and ten valleys under each prefecture. The Chilling Wind Valley was one of the weakest forces.
However, even though the Great Desert Region was huge, it was actually just a corner of the Azure Dragon Continent. Ning Qi had already confirmed that this was the Azure Dragon Continent. As for the Greedy Wolf Sect, Di Yan had never heard of it. It was obvious that the Greedy Wolf Sect was only a third-rate force in the Azure Dragon Continent. Or perhaps it could be said that Di Yan rarely left the Great Desert Region, so it was normal that he had never heard of it.
"Just the Great Desert Region alone has far more forces than Dongxuan after the changes. The Emperor Imperial Demon Palace and the Ancient Water Dragon Palace are not even a 'valley' in the Great Desert Region. The Fangcun Sect, Fortune Dragon Clan, and Six-Eared Demon Clan in the Inner Region are equivalent to a 'valley' here."
Ning Qi compared in his mind.
This time, they flew for more than 300,000 miles before arriving at the Desert Market Place that Di Yan had mentioned. Ning Qi looked up and saw buildings that stretched for countless miles not far away.
"Daoist Beixuan, this is the Great Desert Region. There's a restriction that forbids flying. Let's go down first."
Di Yan smiled.
"Alright."
Ning Qi nodded with a smile. The six of them landed at the entrance of the market. The passing cultivators looked at them enviously.
Oh, they were looking at the mantis that Di Yan was holding high.
Before the six of them entered the market, a cultivator came up to ask for the price.
"This Pincer Sky Mantis is alive? How much? "
"I'll pay sixty desert coins. Sell it to me!"
"You want to buy a live mantis with sixty desert coins? I'll pay sixty-five! "
The crowd rushed to increase the price.
Di Yan's face was slightly red. The Heaven Clamping Mantis that he bought for 40 desert coins had been sold for 70 desert coins in the blink of an eye. Most importantly, the owner of the mantis was right beside him. He glanced at Ning Qi and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Ning Qi's smiling expression.
Soon, the mantis was bought by a cultivator with a gloomy face. He offered the highest price at seventy-two desert coins. Before he left, the cultivator looked at Ning Qi suspiciously. Because of this look, Ning Qi knew that his name was' Fan Kong '. It was a rare surname.
"Daoist Beixuan, how about I make up for the difference in price?"
Di Yan and the others split fourteen desert coins each. Then, Di Yan took two desert coins and said to Ning Qi embarrassedly.
Ning Qi found this person interesting, so he nodded with a smile and accepted it. It wasn't easy for the five of them to divide the two desert coins, so he might as well accept it. After all, it was two medial-grade Refined God Stones.
Di Yan was obviously much happier. Only Ling Dong glanced greedily at the desert coins in Ning Qi's hand before looking away.
"Daoist Beixuan, we're going to buy some elixirs. Shall we go together?"
Di Yan smiled.
"Let's go."
