Chapter 529: Conch Beads
When Ning Xiaoxian took out his purse to check out, he saw that Gu Mo was still looking at the mirror in a daze, his face was slightly flushed, and it was even more incomprehensible. Her heart moved, and she remembered that when she summoned Tu Du and Kuma in the hidden stream, the two of them often came together. Anyway, it was always the ice cube face that couldn't be seen, but Kuma's face was sometimes flushed, and there were a few strands of hair that were messy, she was suspicious at the time, and when she saw Kuma's expression, she couldn't help but whisper: "You, don't you ...... Tu Du?"
Kuma was startled, and said with a cold face: "What do you want to do with him? Who wouldn't stay away from that kind of monster?" and turned around and walked out of the shop first. She did stay away every time, but she was always caught. The cultivation in the early stage of the tribulation didn't seem to be of much use in front of him......
Ning Xiaoxian was snatched by her so eagerly, but she was not angry, but secretly pouted and said, "The dead rabbit really stole the grass by the nest." What's even more hateful is Changtian, he and these two people have a blood oath, and it is impossible to be ignorant and unconscious, but they also hide it from me. ”
Turin is close to the shores of the Sea of Mirrors, and officials have even built a stone road wide enough to accommodate six horse-drawn carriages, so that it can reach the seaside in half an hour from the Turin Gate at the foot of ordinary people. From the north gate to the seaside, there is a natural deep-water harbor, and the large ships that come and go are more than three masts, and the sails raised are as white as the clouds in the sky.
Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, this is really an iron law that cannot be broken everywhere, so the seafood in the city of Turin is a must. Every morning before dawn, there are the fattest seafood, the fullest pearls, and the most exquisite handicrafts. An endless stream of them were sent into the city of Turin, and in addition to the special supplies for dignitaries, most of them flowed into restaurants, restaurants, and artisans' workshops. and all kinds of treasure buildings, such as the Dzi Tower that Ning Xiaoxian and Jiu Mo have just walked into.
The treasures of the sea are many times richer than those on land. The seven treasures of Buddhism are gold, silver, glass, crystal, clams, coral, and amber, among which clams and coral are all produced by sea creatures. In addition to the ordinary jewelry inlaid with gold and jade, there are also many pendants and ornaments made of sea treasures, such as a black coral that many customers will look at. Although less than two feet tall, the branches are as bent as a dragon, tough and elegant. She recognized this peculiar coral, also known as "sea iron". Before the rain arrives, the color of the table is dull, and a small amount of mucus will be released, which can be used to predict the weather. It's a lot of fun.
However, Ning Xiaoxian's storage bag was hidden with a blood jade coral. In terms of worth, she is still far away from this black coral, so she just smiled when she saw it.
At the moment, she pulled Kuma to pick out a lot of valuable jewelry, and most of the birds were very interested in shiny items that would glow, such as crows, which liked to steal diamonds, glass, and gold and hide them in their nests. Even Qingluan and Kuma have retained this instinct. So when Kuma arrived here, his eyes lit up, and he was more willing than in the ready-to-wear shop.
Ning Xiaoxian is no longer the little poor ghost who followed the Yunhu caravan back then. Because of the ratio of spirit stones to money, immortal cultivators generally don't care much about mundane gold and silver. On this day, the guys in Zhulou saw that the two of them were generous. Knowing that these two are either immortals or nobles, they are even more upbeat and serve carefully. The value of the treasures taken out is also higher than the other.
Ning Xiaoxian picked for a long time, but he felt a little bored. The jewellery here was much more elaborate than the one she had seen on the westward journey, but the variety did not seem to be satisfactory. Turin City is the location of the Mirror Sea King's Mansion, can't there be any treasures here?
The guy is also a human spirit, seeing that her face was a little uneasy, knowing that she didn't look down on these treasures very much, his heart was overjoyed, and he came over in a few small steps. Kuma didn't like mortals approaching, so he looked up and glared at him coldly.
This glance was full of anger, the guy only felt like he was being targeted by a beast, his back suddenly cooled, and his breath was suffocated. However, he has worked in the Tianzhu Tower for many years, and has also dealt with many immortal cultivators, knowing that although these immortal masters and fairy aunts have a big temper, they don't take gold and silver as money, and selling them one or two things is enough for his whole family to eat and drink spicy food for several months, so he still calmed down and flattered: "The two fairy girls are very powerful, so it's no wonder that they don't look down on the things that are placed here." Our shopkeeper has a good thing in his hands......"
Ning Xiaoxian knew that most of the treasures in the treasure building were hidden in the town store, unless he met a distinguished guest. It's just a commercial marketing tool, she smiled and said, "Take it and take a look." ”
The man hurried upstairs, and after a while, he took down a black velvet box with a bracelet lying inside, which looked very exquisite. The bracelet is made entirely of red gold, carved into a pattern of roses, with gold as the branches and leaves, and seven pearls as the fruit. The carving is meticulous and quite ingenious, Ning Xiaoxian held it in his hand, but he gently "pouted".
Seeing her strange expression, Kuma asked, "What's wrong?"
She didn't answer, but put the bracelet in Kuma's hand: "You take it and try it." ”
Gu Mo took the ring in his hand and felt it carefully, and he also raised his eyebrows slightly: "This bracelet actually has a slight spirit gathering effect? It seems that this bead is not an ordinary pearl." ”
Ning Xiaoxian knew that the carving of this bracelet must come from the master's hand, but a few pearls embedded on it were a bit ungraded. If you pursue luxury and perfection, it is best to inlay emeralds, pigeon's blood red and other gemstones to show the owner's luxury. These pearls are no bigger than the fingernails of the tail finger, and they don't look like night pearls, so how could a craftsman look for them to make them?
Only when you hold it in your hand can you know the strangeness of these pearls. Although immortal cultivators usually rely on pranayama to accumulate spiritual power, as long as they have spiritual roots or demon pills, the body itself will slowly and spontaneously absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth for its own use, which is called "gathering spirits". These "pearls" have the effect of slightly increasing the speed of gathering spirits, although it sounds incomparable with the results of pranayama, but it is better all the time, whether you are sleeping, walking, or even fighting with people, this process is slowly accumulating. Over time, it is also a very considerable amount of spiritual power or demonic power. Cultivating immortals and cultivating immortals, originally cultivating water mill kung fu, a person like her who can ride a rocket and go straight up, after all, is an extremely rare case.
It can be seen that Tianzhu Tower also has some immortal background, otherwise such a treasure is definitely not something that mortals can take.
Seeing that the two female guests saw the extraordinaryness of the bracelet, the guy also said with a smug face: "The old lady of the Jinghai Mansion is about to have a birthday, not to mention Turin City, almost all the treasures of the seven or eight big cities in this vicinity have been swept away by the immortals, and they are thinking about making a gift for their birthday." This gold-entangled phoenix conch bead bracelet is still a new item that only arrived this morning, if it is half a day late, it is estimated that it has also been bought by other guests. ”
"Conch beads?" Ning Xiaoxian picked up the bracelet and looked at it, and sure enough, he saw that the beads embedded in it were not round, but symmetrical and beautiful oval, showing a pink luster under natural light, which was very cute. The seven beads were of comparable size, the one embedded in the center was pure white, and the other six were pink.
"Not bad. This is a sea pearl that can only be produced by the phoenix snail that grows in the sea near the Seven Star Islands in the Mirror Sea. In the entire southern Ganbu Continent, there is only a phoenix snail in the mirror sea. The beads produced by this conch can range in color from magenta, pink-orange, golden, pink, and even white, but the finest conch beads are this pink. The man took out a conch bigger than his palm, and the shell of the snail was indeed a faint water red, "The natural pearling rate is extremely low, and only one usable pearl is produced in about 50,000 conchs." At most, only 30% of conch beads can be used for jewelry processing. Like this, there is still a spirit gathering effect, and there is probably not one in 100,000. ”
After he finished speaking, he heard the female guest in front of him say the three words he wanted to hear the most: "How much?"
"Thanks to your patronage, this Golden Entangled Phoenix Conch Bead Bracelet only costs 23,000 spirit stones!"
"Oh, do you use spirit stones to pay the bill?" Ning Xiaoxian didn't think it was strange, this bracelet was the most useful for immortal cultivators, and it was not wrong for Tianzhu Tower to ask for spirit stones to pay the bill. The price of 23,000 spirit stones sounds outrageous, but if the conch beads are really as rare as the guy said, they are still worth the price. It's just that her divine power mainly comes from the Demon Spring, and this bracelet's benefit to her is just a drop in the bucket. Although her net worth is not what it used to be, if she wants to pay more than 20,000 spirit stones to buy this bracelet and go back to wear it purely as jewelry, she still feels a little loser.
Why don't you buy it and give it to Kuma?
She asked Kuma in a whisper. The poisonous phoenix unexpectedly didn't want it: "I have the divine wood body of the Phoenix clan, and absorbing the spiritual power of heaven and earth is already faster than that of ordinary fowl demons, so I don't need to use it." ”
Ning Xiaoxian was about to put the bracelet back in the box for the guy to put away, when a female voice suddenly came from behind him: "Miss, the conch bead bracelet I said is here." Look, the one she's got in her hand!"
The fragrant wind wafted in, and another woman said lightly: "Yes, show me." As he spoke, he had already walked to Ning Xiaoxian's side.
It's a nice sound, and it's familiar.
Ning Xiaoxian tilted his head slightly and saw the two women walking behind him. The woman walking in front of her was tall, the fat powder was thin, and she was lined with hibiscus like a willow like an eyebrow, wearing a plain white Liuxian skirt, and her waist was gently held by a piece of pink yarn, which was the true meaning of "a woman is pretty, and she is filial".
The woman naturally saw her, and couldn't help but be stunned, and her apricot eyes suddenly widened: "It's you, Ning Xiaoxian!"
Well, it's an acquaintance, but it's a pity that the tone doesn't sound so friendly. Ning Xiaoxian also smiled and said: "Farewell to the weak water, haven't you seen you for two years, Miss Jin?" (to be continued......)
