Chapter 3 Trading
The sky is getting dark, but the market is as bright as day. Glowing beads are inlaid in the houses outside the doors of each shop, and even those who set up stalls have to put one or two on them to attract business.
In addition to white luminous beads, there are also red, green, blue, purple and other colored beads. These beads are the size of a child's fist, flashing with dazzling light, decorating the Tianyuan Market very beautifully, like heaven and earth.
Every time I came to the market to trade, I had to take a small paper boat for several hours. After the transaction is over, it is basically dark.
Tianyuan's night market is so beautiful and lively. Yuantian, who is tired all day, just takes this opportunity to visit the night market.
There will be at least one guy standing in front of each store, and some stores with large fronts have four or five clerks standing at the door, and it is difficult to have women. Holding the signboard, shouting at the throat to greet business. Or scratch your head and gesture, and attract customers with a smile and a smile.
The spirit stone was indeed the source of evil, and Yuan Tian couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Look at the clerks who are trying to solicit customers at the door of the store, especially the clerk at the door of the big store. Those who cultivate higher than the source heaven abound. But for the sake of the spirit stone, you have to be cheeky to do such a cliché thing.
"Our store sells all kinds of attack and defense magic weapons, and the goods are complete and inexpensive. Whether you are a qi practitioner or a sports practitioner, and whether you are a newcomer or an expert, we can meet your needs......"
In front of a relatively large store, there were four guys standing in unison. The four of them were all dressed in neat uniforms, dressed like King Kong, and at first glance they were regular and powerful shops.
The uniforms of the four guys are not to be underestimated, whether it is the scale armor on their bodies, or the swords, guns, swords, halberds in their hands, they are all serious spiritual weapons, and they are medium-grade spiritual weapons.
Yuantian won't go in such a big store at all, the things inside are so expensive that he can't afford to buy them. What's more, the cost of big stores is too large, and it is difficult to bargain.
Finding a nondescript bookstore down the street, Gentian stepped inside.
After entering, he didn't speak, but looked around and looked at the prices of the various law decisions on the shelves. It didn't take much effort to find the location of Lingyu Decisive Jade Jane, and this is not the first time I've been here.
Yuan Tian has also seen other shops, and the prices are one or two spirit stones more expensive than this small shop.
There is only one shopkeeper in the store, and there is no store guy, it seems that the boss himself is standing at the counter. Unlike other stores, this boss is not in a hurry to greet customers, but lets Gentian wander in front of the bookshelf.
Yuan Tian looked at the jade slips on the bookshelf, and his greedy saliva was about to flow down. There are not only Lingyu Decision, Golden Silk Decision and other planting methods used in the jade slip. There are also attack-type spells such as fireball spells, flame duels, frost duels, stone spear spells, etc., as well as psychedelic arrays, trapped beast arrays, ground trap arrays, and other formations.
The shopkeeper is holding a wolf talisman pen in his hand and is concentrating on drawing talismans. Looking at the face of the bookstore owner, he looks like a middle-aged man in his forties, but looking at the handful of goatee on his chin, he looks like an old birthday star in his 100s. The robe is spotless, and it really looks like a master of the world.
At this time, the drawing is a low-level defense talisman for hand training, called the Vajra Cover Talisman.
No matter how clever a talisman is, even if he draws the lowest level of spells, he must concentrate his efforts. Because there is such a thing as drawing symbols, as long as one stroke goes wrong. If it is a little crooked, or the spiritual power poured into it is uneven, this talisman will be scrapped, and the talisman paper will directly spontaneously combust off.
Gentian watched the shopkeeper draw talismans for a while, and a strange idea came to his head: "movable type printing".
patted his thin face, frowned and tried to remember, why there was such a strange thought in his head.
It is too laborious to draw the symbols one by one, and it is extremely troublesome to learn in the early stage. Why don't you just buy a finished talisman and spread a transparent piece of paper to copy. It's almost copied, and then it's engraved on the seal. Put it on the rune paper, and it will be a finished charm. As long as the seal carving is flat standard, the spell that is covered is the absolute standard.
The failure rate of this stroke is too high, and a piece of rune paper will be wasted if you are not careful. The strokes are easy to make mistakes, not to mention, from the beginning of the pen to the end of the pen, the whole process is evenly poured into the spiritual power, and it really wants to tire people to death.
Once he had this idea, Gentian couldn't help but want to get a talisman to give it a try. There are no talismans for sale on the shelves of this bookstore, and I don't know if the talismans drawn by the boss of Lu Dao himself are sold.
"Boss, how do you sell the Lingyu in your store?" Yuan Tian asked when he saw that the shopkeeper had put away his pen.
"It's the fifteen low-grade spirit stones with the price tag, but Xiaoyou want to buy one?" The old shopkeeper saw that Yuan Tian had a good attitude, and he didn't shout as soon as he came in, but patiently waited for him to finish drawing the talisman, and had a good impression of him.
Lingyu decided to sell fifteen low-grade spirit stones, to be honest, it was really not expensive, at least it was already the lowest price in this market. But Yuan Tian, in the spirit of talking more and not suffering, and saliva is worthless, had a meal with the shopkeeper......
It's good to say that the price still hasn't been lowered, but it's the same gift as the shopkeeper, a vajra charm.
Although the Vajra Talisman is a low-level defense talisman, it is also worth a low-grade spirit stone, and asking for this gift is equivalent to saving a spirit stone.
"Boss, give me another one, you drew this talisman yourself, and there is no purchase cost. Your old man will take care of me, you look at my physique, more talismans are more lives. As he spoke, Gentian tapped the bone on his chest and made a bangbang sound.
The self-preservation ability of the qi practitioner actually has little to do with being fat and thin, but the shopkeeper was amused by this humorous customer. The rune paper is wholesale, and the rune is used to practice hand-drawing, and it really doesn't cost much, so I simply sent another one to Yuantian.
"Boss, you are really a good person, you must be rich. Saying that, Yuan Tian handed over fifteen low-grade spirit stones, and at the same time took the Spirit Rain Decisive Jade Slip and the Vajra Cover Talisman.
After taking the things, Yuan Tian was not in a hurry to leave, his eyes were fixed on the rune paper on the table: "May I ask, which store is more suitable to buy the rune paper from?"
"Xiaoyou is going to learn how to make talismans?" The shopkeeper was obviously very interested in Gentian's question, and when a person who likes talisman makes meets another person who loves talisman making, it is like meeting a relative.
"Yes, I've always been very interested in talisman making, boss, do you have a simple and easy-to-understand book here, suitable for newcomers to learn talisman making?" Yuan Tian looked at the stack of talisman paper on the table.
"You can take a look at "The First Solution of Fu Dao", the content is comprehensive and suitable for newcomers. "The shopkeeper warmly recommended.
"How much does that book cost? I'll buy it when I have enough spirit stones." "When it comes to the price, Yuantian can't help but be a little embarrassed, and there is no way to make himself shy. But fortunately, after selling the next patterned pig, there will be money again.
"It's not expensive, just thirty-five low-grade spirit stones. When you come to buy it next time, I can send you a few more finished talismans for reference. "The shopkeeper is very spicy, and he has long seen the waist card of the miscellaneous disciples of the Yuan Sword Sect in Yuantian.
Miscellaneous disciples generally work hard to barely make ends meet, and this little friend can have the money to buy Lingyu Duel, and it seems that he will soon become an official disciple of the outer sect.
"I'll give you five pieces of rune paper first, if you use a lot of it, go out and turn right to the Qiqiao Pavilion five hundred steps ahead, wholesale and retail all kinds of groceries. As he spoke, the shopkeeper handed Yuan Tian five pieces of rune paper.
"That's embarrassing." Yuan Tian's face was embarrassed, but his hand was not slow at all, and he quickly took it and put it in his pocket.
"Sir, your surname?" "If you accept other people's things, you can't even know what their surnames are, and it would be too incomprehensible.
"Don't be expensive, revert to the surname Dongguo. The bookstore owner was obviously willing to get acquainted with Yuantian as well.
"Then thank you, Mr. Dongguo, and come back another day. "Yuan Tian gave up.
Bidding farewell to the bookstore owner, I went to the Tangram Pavilion to buy a stack of ordinary white paper. Thin translucent, inexpensive, just suitable for spreading to the charm for copying.
As for the rune paper, I only inquired about the price, but I didn't buy it. After practicing the copy first, I won't be in a hurry to buy it, not to mention that there are five free ones. This kind of thing is a spirit stone, which can be saved.
When it gets completely dark, the illuminated orbs in the market become even more dazzling.
After selling a patterned pig, he had to add another one, and Yuan Tian hurriedly came to the store that sold spirit beasts to purchase pig seedlings.
In the work of selecting young pigs, Yuan Tian claimed to be the second, and no one dared to call him the first in that day. Even the deceased Huang Laoshi is far from enough for his knowledge. This information about breeding, planting, and so on seems to have been born in his head.
Yuan Tian vaguely felt that he might not be from this world, but his memory had not fully recovered, and he couldn't remember what was going on.
Piglets should have strong vitality, adapt to their feet, grow and develop quickly, save materials, and be easy to raise.
Look at the shape of the mouth: the mouth is short and round, large and straight, the mouth should be deep, and the jaw should be thin. Piglets with relatively neat lower jaws and upper jaws eat fast, are not picky eaters, are easy to raise, and grow fast.
Second, look at the eyes: the pig with short eye hair and bright eyes can eat and grow.
three look at the neck, four look at the torso ......; Five look at the tail...... Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, and twelve limbs: the legs are required to be strong, straight and thick, with plump thigh muscles, large hooves, a moderate ratio of body length and body height, and a large skeleton.
1. Don't buy empty belly pigs: Miao pigs have a small belly, indicating poor appetite.
2. Don't buy high-temperature pigs, 3. Don't buy diarrhea pigs, 4. Don't buy, 5. Don't ......buy, 6.
The trick of not buying sixteen of the twelve was vividly played by Yuantian, and the best pig seedling in the store was picked up smoothly.
Although this little pig is still young, it has a round mouth and a deep mouth, strong limbs and moderate proportions, and two small eyes that are small but bright and bright. As long as you raise it well, it will grow to more than 1,000 catties steadily.
After signing and drawing, you can take the little pig away, and the money to buy pig seedlings does not need to be paid by the miscellaneous disciples. The proceeds from the sale of pigs belong to the sect, and the money for buying pig seedlings is naturally settled by the sect. The shopkeeper just made a record, checked the identity and handed over the pig seedlings to Gentian.
The commissions and rewards that the miscellaneous disciples get, if they buy fodder and grass and pig seedlings, it will not be enough to spend on killing.
Don't look at the pattern pigs when they grow up, they are fat and weigh 1,800 catties, but the pig seedlings are only a few catties heavy. A thin person like Yuan Tian can easily pick it up.
After leaving the store, he took the little pig on the paper boat and took out a lighting bead and put it on the bow of the boat. pinched a magic decision, and the small paper boat flew up leisurely.
Without the burden of 800 catties of patterned pigs, the small paper boat exerted its sensitive characteristics. It is several times faster than when it came, and the climb is much more flexible.
When I came, it was a big downhill all the way, and occasionally a small uphill would make Yuan Tian sweat tiredly. When I went back, although I went uphill all the way, I only carried a hundred pounds of Yuantian and a few pounds of piglets, and climbed up the slope easily. The night breeze blows on the body, and there is a slight coolness.
"Little pig, little pig, you are growing up quickly, and when you grow up, we can exchange money and spend." Gentian sat cross-legged and placed the little piglet on his slender legs. The two slender hands gently patted the smooth little piglet, and chattered while patting their mouths.
Don't underestimate this stroking and slapping action, it is also very beneficial to the little piglet. In this breezy night, the skill to keep the pig warm can check the body to see if there are any other hidden dangers.
If you find other hidden dangers halfway, you can turn around and go back to change. Once you return to the division and hand in the task, you can only consider yourself unlucky.
Although Yuantian's hands are thin, he is still a qi practitioner after all. The warm breath of the palm of his hand made the little pig very comfortable, and he fell asleep on his lap after a while.
The little piglet is not big, and the purring is really not small. Very good! Very good! This pig is very healthy, and it must be easy to feed.
If you can raise 1,200 catties, in addition to the sixty spirit stones handed over to the master, there are also sixty spirit stones that can be shared equally with the shopkeeper. You can get thirty spirit stones at one time, and it's too easy for spirit stones not to come.
Time passed in a hurry in the expectation of Yuan Tianmei, and the small paper boat had already flown to the gate of Tianyuan Sword Sect Mountain.
