After holing up in the villa for a few days, he began his own search.
He found a broker. For outsiders who were unfamiliar with the local market, the distribution of goods, and the quality of products, finding a local broker was the best choice. It would save a lot of time and perhaps even spirit stones. Of course, his eyes had to be sharper.
"I want to find some items to replenish my luck. Do you have any suggestions?"
The brokers were scattered all over the place. Their common characteristic was that they had a spirit stone hanging from their waists. Most of them were local Foundation Establishment cultivators of Red Hill, but there were also a few Jin Dan. Basically, they were all veterans who had been here for a long time, looking for things on their own while making a small fortune.
Each type had its pros and cons. If he found a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he could accompany him throughout the journey and charge a lower fee. However, due to the limitations of their own realm, their ability to differentiate between goods was limited. Jin Dan brokers were better. Although their fees were higher, they could often hit the nail on the head. Their broader knowledge gave them a strong ability to differentiate between goods, and it was not easy for them to take detours and waste their efforts.
Lou Xiaoyi found a Jin Dan broker, the kind that was not very old.
No Jin Dan would do this business full-time. It was not important and was basically done in passing. Take this young Jin Dan in front of him for example. His cultivation was only at the initial stage, and it was obvious that he did not have much, so he was looking for a quick buck.
The young Jin Dan was a bit hesitant, but still nodded. "Fellow Daoist, please follow me …"
Lou Xiaoyi stopped him. "I won't go with you! If I'm not wrong, you also don't know much about items to replenish luck, right? Here are ten spirit stones. Please tell me, who among the brokers here is more familiar with items to replenish luck? "
The young man smiled bitterly. Without any pretense, he took the spirit stones and turned to leave. "Fellow Daoist, you have sharp eyes! I'll go get someone for you right now. Please wait for me! "
Lou Xiaoyi shook his head. He had chosen the right person. This kind of young man was more honest, but no matter how honest he was, he would not reject business that came to him! His initial hesitation actually meant that he didn't know much about items that replenish luck. In Red Hill, there were countless types of goods, and no one could be familiar with every type. Being able to have a good grasp of a particular type of item was already very difficult!
He needed a more professional opinion because he wanted to learn more from it, not just buy it. Here, everything had a price, including professional consultation.
Not long after, an old Dan flew over under the guidance of a young man.
"This is Elder Xu. In the Galloping Horse Plain, no one is more familiar with the problem of replenishing luck than him. You guys talk!"
The young man wisely left. Lou Xiaoyi bowed and said, "Thank you, Old Xu. I have some problems so I can't state my real name. I hope Old Xu can forgive me!"
Old Xu waved his hand. "In Red Mound, less than half of the cultivators report their true names. Everyone has their own reasons, so there's no need to worry about it.
My time is limited, so I'll just tell you the truth. There are three types of this old man's Qi!
The first category costs ten spirit stones. Tell me what you want to buy, and I will guide you to the most cost-effective shop.
Thirty spirit stones. I will lead you to the shop and help you choose!
A hundred spirit stones. I'll give it to you today. Whatever you want to know, as long as I know, I'll tell you everything!
The spirit stones I'm talking about are supreme-grade spirit stones! "
Lou Xiaoyi liked people like this. They were straightforward! Without further ado, he took out a hundred supreme-grade spirit stones from his ring and respectfully presented them. Those who dared to speak like this and ask for such a price were truly capable. Otherwise, they wouldn't have survived until now.
"I see that Senior has a wine gourd, so I think you like it. Why don't I invite Senior to have a few drinks first? Junior still has many questions that I don't understand. Please enlighten me!"
Old Dan did not decline. Since he had sold it to someone else today, of course, the guest would comply with the host's wishes. Red Mound was a lawless place. Everything had a price, and there was nothing that could not be said. They did not need to bear any responsibility for their sect, for the mainland, or for the upper realm of Zhou Xian. If the sky fell, there would be tall people to hold it up. They were the old foxes of cultivation who mingled among the lowest level.
People like this were knowledgeable and experienced countless things. If they really got along well, they would be much more practical and useful than those so-called sworn friends!
They found a quiet restaurant and served good wine and meat. Because it was not meal time, there were very few people and the environment was very quiet.
Lou Xiaoyi threw a brick to attract jade. He knew that Old Dan was very experienced. If you used lies to deceive him, he would use lies to brush him off. It was better to tell the truth. In Red Mound, the things that happened to him were not considered a big deal. Of course, the secrets from Qing Kong were excluded.
"Junior Dan Er, a new disciple of the Carefree Travel Team. A few years ago, I committed a crime in the Yellow Court. Last year, I left behind the karma of a human life in Tai Xuan. I had no choice but to come to Red Mound. Not only to avoid trouble, but also to buy some things I need. Today, we're fated to meet, so please advise me!"
Old Dan was not surprised at all. "Twenty percent of those who come to Red Mound are responsible for human lives. Other than those who are chasing after the culprit, who else would care about you?
Dan Er? I've never heard of your name! So what you did is nothing in the cultivation world and Red Mound. There's no need to be shocked!
Since you're a disciple of the Carefree Travel Team, you must have been promoted by Little Lu, right? The disciples of the major sects would not be like you, committing crimes here and there and killing there! "
Lou Xiaoyi laughed. "Senior's eyes are as bright as torches! Junior escaped from the Chessboard of Heaven and Earth, so I returned to the orthodox path. But this hand, it's always itching and can't stop! "
Old Dan was filled with deep veneration! People like him respected those who had spread their names in the Dao. Those who were truly lawless and did great things. Those who could fight for their lives in the Chessboard of Heaven and Earth were at least great evils sought by the entire realm. Those who could clear their identities after the Chessboard of Heaven and Earth were the evilest of evils!
"I've been rash in accepting these hundred spirit stones. Fellow Daoist, you should have said so earlier. Why would this old man miss a day of company?"
Lou Xiaoyi laughed. "That's one thing, two different things! Today, I've come to Red Mound in search of items to replenish my luck. However, my understanding in this area is very poor. So before I buy, I hope to have a comprehensive understanding of the entire realm's luck! I won't hide it from you, Senior. I've also encountered this problem in my own cultivation, so I have to be cautious. You also know that in the Upper Sect, new followers like us are not welcomed. It's harder for us to receive guidance from the elders. "
Old Dan nodded to express his understanding. This was a common problem faced by all the cultivators of the Upper Sect. No one could help them. It all depended on whether you could tuck your tail between your legs and behave in a low-key manner.
"Regarding luck, actually, in the Zhou Xian Upper Realm, this is a new thing! The specific time of its appearance is controlled by the great cultivators of the Nine Great Sects. Outsiders do not know. We can only make a rough estimate. This time period should be above three thousand years and below ten thousand years. This is the judgment of us loose cultivators of the Nine Great Sects towards luck. It shouldn't be wrong! "
