Chapter 148: Market
Although the place is not big, the market is very lively. Duan Qing walked around and estimated that there were at least hundreds of cultivators in the market alone, and many cultivators set up stalls on the street in the market to trade things they don't need with others.
Duan Qing was quite interested in shopping. Many things were things he had never seen before. He had never seen so many cultivators since he started practicing. Compared with Jinxuan Sect, this place had a different style.
Although he just wanted to see and did not contact anyone while strolling in the market, he still attracted a lot of people's attention because of the fool.
Duan Qing could only pretend that he didn't see it and strolled around by himself. The fool was silent behind him, obviously very shy.
After walking around and taking a general look at the market, Duan Qing chose a store called Tiansheng Pavilion, which was very deserted, and walked in.
"How can I help you?" A middle-aged man at the counter raised his eyelids, his eyes stayed on the fool for a moment, and said to Duan Qing indifferently.
Duan Qing glanced at the furnishings in the store and found that although the store was not small, there was no goods on display. There were only a few magic tools sparsely placed on the shelves on the wall. He asked the middle-aged man.
"Does your store accept monster materials?"
The middle-aged man thought to himself that this was nonsense. Which store in the Three Heavens does not accept monster materials! I don't know where this fool came from. Is he going to use the fur of a monster in the Qi Refining Period to amuse me?
"I'll take it. Take out what you have and let me see it!" The middle-aged man said with a dull look.
The middle-aged man's attitude made Duan Qing a little unhappy. With this attitude of the middle-aged man, it's no wonder that there was no one in the store! But since he came in, he didn't want to come in vain, so he took out a long-standing Xuanyin Kuihu corpse from his storage bag and put it on the counter.
"How do I keep this thing?" He was very short of spiritual stones at this time. He didn't know what use the two corpses of Xuanyin Kuihu were for. It was just the right time to take them out and see if they could be exchanged for some spiritual stones.
The middle-aged man was stunned when he saw Xuanyin Kuihu. He seemed to not recognize what kind of monster Xuanyin Kuihu was. He thought for a moment and suddenly thought of something, and his face showed surprise.
"Could this be the strange beast Xuanyin Kuihu?" After saying that, he stared at the corpse of Xuanyin Kuihu and observed it carefully for a while, confirming that this thing was the corpse of Xuanyin Kuihu.
"Hmm! It's snow-white all over, with no eyes and cheeks, and black lines on its back. It's really Xuanyin Kuihu!"
The middle-aged man looked a little excited. He had been in the Third Heaven for many years and had dealt with countless monsters, but he had never seen strange beasts.
Although this strange beast is only one word different from a demon beast, the difference is huge!
Strange beasts are not like demon beasts. Strange beasts are extremely rare and often live in special environments. They often have special abilities. Demon beasts and strange beasts of the same realm may have similar strengths, but their values may be very different.
Because the only things that can be used by cultivators are their inner elixir, skin, fur and bones. Some special demon beasts may have other things that are valuable, but they are few after all.
But strange beasts are different. Because they often have special abilities, almost all strange beasts have value all over their bodies. Needless to say, their inner elixir, skin and bones, even their flesh and blood can be used for alchemy and medicine. It is precisely because of this that the value of a strange beast may often be several times or even more than that of a demon beast of the same realm.
As the saying goes, things are rare and valuable. The reason why the price of strange beasts is so much higher than that of demon beasts is that strange beasts are extremely difficult to hunt. There are many kinds of demon beasts and their minds are uneven. Generally speaking, the higher the realm of the demon beast, the more mature its mind. The alien beasts are naturally intelligent and cunning, so they are much more difficult to kill than the monsters of the same level.
"The body is intact, and the inner elixir is still there. What do you think about 1,500 spirit stones?" The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and quoted a price that he felt was fair.
According to the price of purchasing monsters in the Three Heavens, the purchase price of a well-preserved corpse of an early stage of the Transcendental Demon Beast is about 150 spirit stones without the inner elixir, and it doubles with the inner elixir. At this time, the alien beast Xuanyin Kuihu in front of him is of excellent quality and has the inner elixir, but although Xuanyin Kuihu is an alien beast, it is not ranked on the alien beast list, so he quoted five times the price of the same level of monster beasts, which is still fair.
Duan Qing was quite surprised. According to his idea, it would be good if the body could be sold for a few hundred spirit stones, but he didn't expect it to be sold for 1,500!
However, he didn't plan to sell it directly to the middle-aged man. He didn't know anything when he first arrived in the Three Heavens, and it was impossible for him to believe what others said! Previously, he had no choice but to trade the Transcendent Grass with Mo Gen at the Guanping Terrace. Now that he had a choice, he naturally had to compare prices. Although he might not suffer much loss this time, he would stay in the Three Heavens for a long time in the future, so it was better to find out the market situation.
Duan Qing shook his head slightly at the middle-aged man, pretending to be dissatisfied with his offer, and put away the corpse of the Xuanyin Kuihu and left the Tiansheng Pavilion.
The middle-aged man felt a little sorry, but did not try to keep Duan Qing. After all, although the exotic beasts were rare, for the forces behind the Tiansheng Pavilion, the corpse of a Transcendent Realm exotic beast was really nothing!
After leaving the Tiansheng Pavilion, Duan Qing randomly found two other shops and asked for the price of the corpse of the Xuanyin Kuihu. This time, he took out the one that died at the hands of Qian Datong, and there was almost no damage, and the inner elixir was still there.
The one he took out this time was the one that died at the hands of Senior Sister Su, and it was very likely that it had been parasitized by the Illusion Butterfly. Its head was cut off by Senior Sister Su, and its inner elixir was also taken away by Senior Sister Su. The purchase prices offered by the two stores were similar, so he sold it to the one that offered a slightly higher price of 700 spirit stones.
After comparing the two shops, Duan Qing found that the middle-aged man in Tiansheng Pavilion had a lukewarm attitude, which was good. The people in the two shops he went to later were even more arrogant, which made Duan Qing have no desire to buy anything after selling the Xuanyin Kuihu!
So he returned to Tiansheng Pavilion and planned to sell the previous Xuanyin Kuihu.
"Do you want to sell it?" The middle-aged man had just sent away two customers and asked directly when he saw Duan Qing coming back.
Duan Qing nodded and took out the Xuanyin Kuihu and put it on the counter.
After the middle-aged man confirmed that this Xuanyin Kuihu was the one just now, he put it into the storage bracelet and prepared to give the spirit stone to Duan Qing.
"Do you have a magic weapon flying sword for sale in your store?" Duan Qing was not in a hurry to collect it, but asked the middle-aged man. He sold the two Xuanyin Kuihu mainly to buy a handy flying sword. It was really inconvenient for him to carry the stupid guy with his current black ancient dagger flying sword!
The middle-aged man looked proud and said to Duan Qing: "Our Tiansheng Pavilion has a wide range of goods. I wonder what attribute and grade of flying sword you want to buy?"
"Do you have a top-grade fire attribute flying sword?" he tried to ask.
The middle-aged man directly took out three flying swords and placed them on the counter.
"These three are all top-grade fire attribute flying swords, and the prices are one thousand, one thousand five hundred, and one thousand eight hundred spirit stones respectively."
Duan Qing looked at the three flying swords of different shapes and was a little puzzled.
"Why are the prices of the same top-grade flying swords so different?"
