Chapter 36 Trade Fair (asking for collection, recommendation, and investment)
"How about trading the Firebird Talisman for one Talisman Seal in exchange for five black-striped ant eggs?" Sun Mingsheng's eyes jiggling and moving flexibly, he had already figured it out and proposed another way of trading.
"Firebird Talisman? How many eggs are you prepared to exchange, fellow Taoist?" The shy stall owner hesitated for a while and then asked cautiously, obviously excited.
Black-striped ants are only first-order low-grade spiritual insects, and if they want to form strong enough combat power, they must invest a lot of time and energy in cultivating them.
For most monks, their cultivation resources are beyond their means, and they have no energy left to support a large black-striped ant colony.
Since the purpose of coming to Yuquan Mountain this time is to achieve a good result above the Qiuli Guo Meeting, it is obviously beneficial to exchange some unhatched eggs for some first-order mid-grade Firebird Talismans that can immediately enhance the strength. , this decision is not difficult to make.
"Six Firebird Talisman in exchange for thirty black-striped ant eggs," Sun Mingsheng said firmly.
If he hadn't wanted to become a member of the family's hunting team in the future, hunt down fire-attribute monsters, and use his soul to enhance the power of the fire-gathering bottle, Sun Mingsheng would not have cultivated these black-striped ants, which were as big as the stomach king.
"Six firebird talismans can be exchanged for up to twenty-five eggs. If you add one more, you can make a deal." The seemingly shy stall owner did not give in when his own interests were involved.
"Since fellow Taoist is so stubborn, I might as well keep the talisman and seal for use in subsequent competitions and say goodbye." Naturally, Sun Mingsheng would not be taken advantage of.
If it were in a normal shop that specializes in selling spirit beasts, this price is not expensive, but the Qiuli Guo Fair is about to start, so it is natural to take advantage of it.
"Thirty pieces, thirty pieces, deal," the stall owner said reluctantly.
For this Qiuliguo meeting, Sun Mingsheng began preparations a year in advance, and went all out on the drawing of the talisman.
A total of 100 first-level medium-grade fire bird talismans and fire snake talismans, 60 fire wall talismans, and 15 first-level high-grade fire rock talismans were stored.
Part of it was used for consumption today, which is enough to cope with the subsequent battles. Otherwise, how could we exchange for black striped ant eggs at such a cheap price?
Perhaps in the eyes of many high-level monks, this is just a low-level spiritual insect used for consumption, but after all, it is a type of spiritual insect, and its own value is still unquestionable.
"Unfortunately, there are no fire-attribute monster souls for sale in this trading area. Otherwise, the power of the fire-gathering bottle can be increased by one or two." An hour later, after carefully observing the entire trading area, he was quite surprised. Said sadly.
Monsters are treasures. Unfortunately, it is not easy to collect the souls of low-level monsters. They need to be stored with special auxiliary magic weapons.
Most monks will waste their efforts in vain after hunting monsters, especially some casual cultivators.
Even if some monks obtain the souls of monsters, they mostly use them for themselves or sell them to some fixed shops, so they are destined to not gain anything.
After returning to the bamboo forest courtyard where they temporarily lived, Sun Xunmu, Sun Mingzeng, and Sun Mingwang were all there.
"Pack up and go to the trade fair together. We'll set off in a quarter of an hour." Sun Xunmu ordered with an unkind expression and left first.
"Yes, nephew, I understand." Apart from nodding in agreement, the three of them did not dare to make any small movements.
Sun Xunmu has been the patriarch of the clan for thirty years. It can be said that he has watched his elders grow up since he was a child.
As the leader of the clan, he has always shown an extremely serious attitude, and he is also the first person in the hearts of the Ming generation who dare not easily offend him.
"Brother, uncle, what's going on? Is the collection of spiritual stones not going well?" Sun Mingsheng asked cautiously until Sun Xunmu walked away.
"My tenth brother is blind and bought a dilapidated, high-quality first-class magic weapon at a high price." Sun Mingzeng looked like he hated iron.
A first-level high-grade magic weapon is expensive, and it must have consumed seven or eighty-eight percent of the spiritual stone in Sun Mingwang's hand.
These spiritual stones were not only his own, but also earned by his parents who had worked hard to complete various tasks for the family and risked their lives.
"Tenth brother, why don't you wait for your uncle or eldest brother to look at you before you buy such an expensive magic weapon?" Sun Mingsheng had a look of both anger and distress.
"Eldest brother, twelfth brother, please stop talking. You are almost regretting it to death." Sun Mingwang was completely regretful.
The trading area is divided by the Geng family, but the principle is the same as the stall area for casual cultivators. The quality of various spiritual spiritual materials varies, which is a complete test of the monks' eyesight. The full-screen monks themselves take advantage of the disadvantages.
Regardless of the excessive blame, the three of them followed Sun Xunmu to attend the trade fair held by the Geng family.
Before this, all transactions were just trivial matters. The trade fair was the highlight of the Qiuliguo Fair and the fundamental reason why many families from all over the world came.
In contrast, the competition as a gimmick even has to stand aside. This is the real benefit.
At a trade fair, there are bound to be three or five spiritual objects prepared for the finale. All of these spiritual objects are of great significance or can be used to increase the family's heritage.
Sun Xunmu had two purposes for his trip. The first task was to find ways to obtain some spiritual objects that would be beneficial to foundation building. This was not only for his family, but also for himself.
The second thing ranked is to obtain some spiritual objects for the family that can enhance the foundation.
It's just that the difficulty of achieving these two goals is very high, and both require a large amount of spiritual stones as the strongest backing.
The Geng family's strength and influence in Zhongshan County may be stronger than that of the Sun family, but they still have not gotten rid of the shackles of small and medium-sized families.
The spiritual objects that can help build the foundation are not enough for personal use, and the possibility of selling them to outsiders is extremely small. It is more likely to select some first-order medium and high-grade spiritual fruit trees as the final auction item.
The auction is located at the foot of Yuquan Mountain in a very large hall. When Sun Xunmu and his party arrived, there were at least a hundred people occupying different positions in the hall of Nuo Da.
"We are right here." Sun Xunmu chose a seat in the middle of the row, then closed his eyes and waited quietly for the auction to begin.
"Brother, are every treasure that appears at this trade fair genuine?" Sun Mingwang seemed to have forgotten the painful past in the trading area.
"That's natural. Every spiritual object that appears at the auction has been appraised by a specialized appraiser." This is not the first time that Sun Mingzeng has participated in an auction, and he naturally has a certain understanding of the rules.
"All treasures will be purchased at auctions in the future. I wonder if some suitable treasures will appear this time." Sun Mingwang obviously looked like he had healed his scars and forgot about the pain.
A quarter of an hour after the two exchanged words in a low voice, a female nun with a delicate face and a rather delicate white dress had already walked onto the auction stage.
"Little girl Geng Ningzhu, thank you all fellow Taoists for coming to the auction."
