Chapter 1942: Surprise, the nature of profiteers (12)
Chapter 1942 An unexpected surprise, the nature of profiteers
After saying that, Su Pao didn't forget to cast an apologetic look, obviously annoyed by the talent's self-confidence.
However, after hearing this, Qin Tian did not feel disappointed, but was secretly pleasantly surprised.
After all, in his opinion, since the natal blade is too special and the required spiritual materials are all of the same level, it is a good thing that the treasure gathering building can produce several kinds.
But now the other party not only directly gathered the five elements attributes, but also threatened to take out one of the monster skins, which was really an unexpected surprise.
Because of this, Qin Tian quickly responded politely:
"Haha, there's no need for the shopkeeper to blame himself. Pindao didn't have high hopes to begin with. He'll be satisfied if he can gain something, and then he'll have to worry about the shopkeeper!"
Seeing Qin Tian being so accommodating, the woman in plain robes across from him immediately felt relieved and quickly secretly sent a message to the maid in green clothes to start going to other shops in the black market to inquire for information.
When everything was ready, she waved her sleeves and took out more than ten exquisite treasure boxes and arranged them neatly on the desk. Then she complimented her politely and started to introduce them:
"The Taoist Master is indeed reasonable. The little lady has just given the order. I believe there will be news back soon. This is the fifth-level spiritual material with five elements attributes collected by our store. I would like to ask the Taoist Master to take a look at it... ...!”
As he spoke, the treasure boxes opened in unison, instantly revealing a faint aura, and a rich aura of the Five Elements escaped.
I saw that inside the treasure box, there were indeed a lot of five elements of spiritual materials sealed, such as ores, spiritual wood, spiritual soil, metals, and spiritual water. All of them were treasures of the same level. Qin even appeared in them. The thing that Tian was familiar with was that one yuan of heavy water, and the amount was surprisingly large, enough to fill a special clay pot.
It is no exaggeration to say that if this batch of spiritual materials appeared in the lower world, it would definitely have a shocking effect, but it is not unusual in the spiritual world, and the price will not be much higher. At most, it is barely comparable to ordinary five-year-old materials. It's just a spiritual material.
With the power of this batch of fourth-level spiritual materials, there will definitely be no problem in upgrading the natal blade to a top-grade spiritual treasure. However, if you want to maximize the power of the blade, you must pursue a perfect fit in efficacy.
For example, when refining the Five Elements Blade, the body of the water-based blade used the Holy Water of the Sun and Moon, which dealt corrosive damage and was specially used to cooperate with the Disillusionment and Annihilation Array. Therefore, when it was recast later, it would It is absolutely forbidden to fuse heavy spiritual materials like one-yuan heavy water, otherwise not only the power of the spiritual treasure will be greatly reduced, but spiritual damage may also occur.
As a result, the selection of materials will be extremely strict.
Therefore, facing the dazzling array of treasure boxes, Qin Tian did not make a hasty decision. Instead, he used his spiritual consciousness to carefully observe each piece, carefully identifying the characteristics contained in various spiritual materials, and striving to achieve a perfect match in attributes.
And this time is naturally not short.
However, the woman in plain robes opposite did not urge her. Instead, she took a cup of spiritual tea and sipped it carefully, showing her good professionalism.
In response to this, Qin Tian couldn't help but feel secretly surprised while making the selection, and he couldn't help but think highly of this mysterious woman.
After all, according to common sense, most alchemists are aloof and difficult to get along with due to their respected status. They are also obsessed with alchemy and simply look down on other schools. There are also many who delay their cultivation for this reason.
However, the woman in front of her was a fifth-level alchemy master, but her cultivation had not been neglected. Instead, she had reached the late stage of divine transformation, which was enough to be called a gifted person.
But such a genius is willing to live in seclusion and open a shop in the black market. Even when he treats others, he is humble, gentle and polite. This is really surprising. There must be many secrets hidden behind it, right?
For a moment, Qin Tian couldn't help but sigh secretly.
But as he always believed in the wise way of protecting oneself, he had no intention of delving into it at all, but continued to carefully select spiritual materials.
Fortunately, after half a cup of tea, I found that the spiritual materials listed in this batch of treasure boxes happened to have something that matched the natal blade with each attribute, and I could just make up the complete Five Elements. This is undoubtedly a gratifying thing. thing.
Therefore, Qin Tian did not hesitate and directly picked out the chosen object, and at the same time said in a calm tone:
"Just these few pieces. I wonder how much your shop will charge for them?"
After hearing this and looking at the spiritual materials again, the woman in plain robes was slightly startled, secretly thinking that this old man really has a good eye, and the ones he selected were actually spiritual materials with special effects. It seems that the treasures this person wants to refine are also It must be good.
While thinking about it in her heart, the woman in plain robe remained calm on the surface, and then she calmly reported the price that had been settled long ago:
"Originally, the price of these fourth-level spiritual materials is comparable to that of fifth-level treasures, but fellow Taoist has made a big deal in our store, so it can be regarded as a distinguished guest. In this case, the little girl will not play tricks anymore. A few pieces of spiritual materials are worth eighty low-grade Yuan stones. I wonder what your friendship means...?"
He sounded high-sounding, but the price he quoted almost made Yaodao drop the teacup in his hand to the ground in fright!
After all, just two low-grade Tongtian Spiritual Treasures and 85 low-grade Yuan Stones were sold, but these are just five pieces of fourth-level spiritual materials, and the other party actually dares to ask for 80 low-grade Yuan Stones!
What is the difference between this kind of behavior and robbery?
The most important thing is that she could rob directly, but she still wanted to do it under the guise of buying and selling. This was simply too shameless!
I thought that this female cultivator didn't look bad, but I didn't expect that she was also a complete profiteer. She was really cunning to the extreme.
For a moment, Qin Tian couldn't help but secretly curse, and even his tone became cold, and he turned to say with a smile:
"Haha! I'm afraid the shopkeeper is kidding, right? It's just a fourth-level spiritual material, but it's actually more expensive than a fifth-level spiritual material. Could it be that you're planning to raise the price? Since your store has no sincerity, then it's okay not to do this business. , at worst, Pindao will go to other shops, the Five Elements spiritual materials are not scarce anyway...!"
After saying that, Qin Tian stood up straight away, as if he was about to leave.
Seeing this situation, the female cultivator stood up to apologize, and then complimented with a smile:
"Haha! Don't be anxious, Taoist priest. In business, there is naturally a negotiation. Since the Taoist priest is not satisfied with the price, it doesn't hurt for our store to make a slight concession...!"
After hearing the hidden meaning, Qin Tian's expression softened slightly.
According to the normal process, it was time for a bargaining show at this moment. Qin Tian was also ready for a tug-of-war, and Dang even quoted a price lower than the market price.
"If the shopkeeper wants to sell sincerely, Pindao can offer up to thirty-five low-grade Yuan stones...!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the woman in plain robe almost didn't even think about it and agreed without hesitation:
"Okay! According to the Taoist Master's wishes, I will price thirty-five low-grade Yuan Stones, and I will treat this little girl as a favor to the distinguished guests. I hope the Taoist Master will patronize me more in the future...!"
Having said that, the plain-robed woman pushed the spiritual materials directly in front of Qin Tian without any hesitation, as if she were a conscientious businessman.
However, this magical operation caused Qin Tian, who was originally preparing to bargain, to be stunned on the spot.
Obviously, he did not expect that the woman who had exposed her traitorous nature just now would suddenly become so easy to talk to, and she even closed the deal at a loss without even paying back the price!
Such changes are somewhat unpredictable.
However, when things go wrong, there must be a monster.
Of those who dare to open a shop on the black market, how many of them are simple people? I'm afraid the other party doesn't sell any good medicine at all in that gourd!
So Qin Tian didn't believe this nonsense at all.
But the spiritual material just now has been carefully inspected, and there is no mark of divine consciousness left, which also eliminates the possibility of being tracked, so it is definitely not some kind of robbery and murder on the way, which he is also sure of.
"Since the shopkeeper is so sincere, then I will be disrespectful...!"
In the end, after thinking to no avail, Qin Tian simply raised his hand and took out thirty-five low-grade Yuan stones. He also put away all the five elements spiritual materials and put them in his bag on the spot.
After all, it's not his style not to take advantage of others.
No matter what, get what you need first. Even if the witch wants to play tricks later, the worst thing is that she will just show off her tricks.
Thinking of this, Qin Tian couldn't help but feel relieved.
But he didn't notice that there was a playful smile growing stronger at the corner of the woman's mouth covered by the plain-robed mask.
Seeing that the transaction was completed, the other party showed no intention of taking out the monster skin. Qin Tian quickly noticed something was wrong and quickly asked tentatively:
"Did the shopkeeper forget something?"
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the woman in plain robe smiled and took up the spiritual tea to drink.
"Giggle! The monster skin is in the little girl's hands. Could it be that it can still run away? Anyway, I have nothing to do, so why not just wait for our servant to return? If we are lucky enough to acquire other spiritual materials, how about trading together?"
"Presumably the Taoist Master is not in a hurry, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Qin Tian couldn't help but frown slightly, but he still responded with a smile on his face:
"There's no rush, of course I'm not in a hurry, just follow the shopkeeper's wishes...!"
After that, Qin Tian sat down again and pretended to taste the spirit tea, but the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger.
Fortunately, not long after, there were rapid footsteps outside the door, and then the maid in green hurriedly returned.
She first saluted Qin Tian respectfully, then went straight to the woman in plain robes, secretly reported something through a message, and also took out two exquisite jade boxes.
Seeing this situation, although Qin Tian secretly felt something was wrong, he did not do anything rash, nor was he stupid enough to detect the content of the transmission.
After all, seeing that the other party brought back two jade boxes, it was obvious that he had gained something, and Qin Tian was somewhat relieved.
Sure enough, not long after that, the woman in plain robe suddenly turned her head and said with a smile:
"Living up to the Taoist Priest's trust, my attendants have just searched all the shops in the black market, and finally collected two more items listed on the list, plus the fifth-level stinging lion spiritual material that our store has collected for a long time, and asked the Taoist Priest to take a look at it. .........!"
After saying that, the woman in plain robes gently raised her jade arm, and took out another exquisite jade box. After opening it, the contents inside were revealed, which was a red-colored exotic animal skin bag.
Look at the soft texture of the skin, and there are a lot of brown hairs attached to it. Occasionally, there is a faint flash of light passing by, reflecting many strange phenomena, which is extremely mysterious.
According to the technique, the four spiritual materials required to refine the formless mask must all be exotic animal skins with special talents, so it is not surprising that this strange phenomenon is revealed.
In addition, the two jade boxes retrieved by the attendants were also opened at this moment, revealing the true appearance of the treasures inside.
Inside the jade box on the left, there is a crystal clear purple stone, with traces of electric arcs wrapped around its surface. When it appears, it starts to crackle and jump, illuminating the originally dark secret room in a brilliant way, and even more amazing. The aura of thunder attribute filled the air.
If there are knowledgeable people here, they will definitely recognize this strange purple stone at a glance. It is the rumored thunder attribute treasure "Thunder Gathering Purple Pattern Crystal", and it has also reached the fourth-level extreme level.
According to ancient records, this stone was originally just an ordinary elemental stone, but by various coincidences, it was tempered by the sky thunder and changed its characteristics, turning into a pure thunder-attribute spiritual material. It can even gather thunder-attribute energy on its own to condense it. Strengthen yourself.
If a treasure can be refined from this stone, it can also perfectly inherit this characteristic and be used to fuse and improve the natal thunder blade. It is simply the best choice.
In the jade box on the right, there is a white soft animal skin, which is one of the four spiritual materials needed to refine the mask, a fifth-level white mink skin bag.
Seeing this scene, Qin Tian's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he quickly used the power of his spiritual consciousness to check secretly. After he was sure that it was correct, he calmly said:
"Yes, these three spiritual materials are barely to Pindao's liking, but I don't know how much the shopkeeper is asking for. I've agreed in advance that if your store plans to raise the price, then Pindao doesn't mind... ..!”
Qin Tian said these words with sonorous force and firm attitude, as if he was ready to retreat at any time, as if he did not value spiritual materials.
However, the female cultivator opposite has been plotting for a long time and is not willing to take a long shot to catch a big fish. How could she not figure out the clues?
Therefore, faced with the pretentiousness of a demon, the woman in plain robes did not have any worries. Instead, she stretched out two green jade fingers with a smile and quoted a shocking price on the spot:
"Two hundred low-grade Yuan stones, no two prices!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the venue instantly solidified!
Even Qin Tian, who had always been calm, couldn't believe his ears and couldn't help blurting out:
"What? Are you kidding me? These are just three pieces of spiritual materials. How dare your store ask for two hundred low-grade Yuan Stones? Why don't you just go and grab them?"
"That's all, since you are so insincere, then it's okay not to do this business...!"
After Qin Tian finished speaking with a hint of anger, he tried to repeat his old tricks and pretended to leave.
Unexpectedly, this time, the woman in plain robes was calm and composed, with no intention of retreating at all. She just stared at Qin Tian with a stern gaze, and smiled with a hint of meaning:
"Giggle! Fellow Taoist, you can leave, but now in the entire underground black market, it is guaranteed that only I, the treasure gathering house, can have what you need. As the saying goes, rare things are valuable, and the price for this little girl is very reasonable... ....."
