C8 Bargaining
Ten days later, Liu Chengfeng and Fu Ping arrived at the Yizhou City.
Most of the items traded in the market had unknown origins, so whether it was the buyer or seller, they would choose to disguise their appearance.
Fu Ping and Liu Chengfeng, one in front and one behind, arrived at the trading ground of the market. A cultivator's market was no different from a mortal's, but the people that came in were all cultivators.
The marketplace was located in the Plethora Gem Tower in the Yizhou City. There were nine floors from top to bottom of the Plethora Gem Tower which was the largest trading ground in the Yizhou. Each floor sold different kinds of items. The first floor to the third floor were for mortals, while the fourth to the eighth floor were for cultivators. The remaining ninth floor was Liu Chengfeng's destination, the city square.
As soon as the two entered the pavilion, a simple and honest waiter ran over.
"Which floor are you guys planning to go to to to buy stuff?"
"Cough, cough, ninth floor." Fu Ping lightly coughed twice as he replied.
When the waiter heard it was the ninth floor, he immediately knew it was a cultivator that had come to participate in the market. He did not dare delay and immediately led Liu Chengfeng and Liu Chengfeng upstairs.
"This way, you two."
Along the way, Liu Chengfeng and Fu Ping also lightly walked to the ninth floor without exchanging footsteps.
The space on the ninth floor was extremely large, enough to accommodate over a thousand people. When the two of them arrived, they found that there were already a lot of people inside the building.
Fu Ping found the person in charge of the stall and paid the 10 low rank spirit stones. skillfully took out his golden signboard from his knapsack. It was an advertisement board with the words "Construction of Spiritual Arrays" written on it.
Liu Chengfeng knew that it wouldn't be a while before anyone came to visit Fu Ping, so he bid farewell to him and went to look for a stall that sold Spirit Paper.
It had to be said that there were a lot of things sold in the market. From low rank to high rank cultivation techniques, as long as there were enough Spirit Stones, he would be able to buy all the Spirit Weapons and Pills he wanted. Although Liu Chengfeng watched the scene with an itchy heart, he didn't have much spirit stones in his pocket, so he could only enjoy it.
After walking around for a bit, Liu Chengfeng found a stall that sold Spirit Paper. The cultivator selling Spirit Paper had shifty eyes and eyebrows, it was obvious that he was not an honest man.
"How much is the Spirit Paper selling for?" Liu Chengfeng came in front of the booth and asked.
When he saw Liu Chengfeng asking for the price, he became excited, and forced a smile out of his eyes.
"Different Spirit Paper of different ranks have different prices, the more you can buy the better," Cheng Baiwan drawled.
On Cheng Baiwan's table, there were over a dozen different kinds of Spirit Paper. Liu Chengfeng didn't care if he was willing to extend his hand and check the quality of the Spirit Paper. This was because the quality of the Spirit Paper also affected the power of the spirit runes inscribed on it. Therefore, Liu Chengfeng cared a lot about this.
"This little brother, you should come to my place to buy Spirit Paper. No one dares to claim to be second place for my Spirit Paper in Yizhou City, so there is definitely a guarantee for its quality! Look at this high level Spirit Paper, using it to make high level spirit runes is the best. "Look at these middle stage Spirit Paper, they are all made from Hundred Year Poplar Extract, they are even more powerful …" Cheng Baiwan boasted crazily, his saliva flying everywhere as he spoke with complete sincerity.
But Liu Chengfeng did not give any response. Cheng Baiwan saw that Liu Chengfeng stood there and looked for a long time without deciding to buy it. So, he could not help but ask, "Little brother, do you want to buy mid-ranked or high-ranked Spirit Paper? What about something that requires special materials? Or was it made from ordinary materials? As long as you tell me what you need, I can help you with it. " Cheng Baiwan said with full of confidence.
Liu Chengfeng flipped through the Spirit Paper on the table, but didn't find any low levelled Spirit Paper, so he asked, "Do you have any low levelled Spirit Paper that can be sold here?"
"What?" A low levelled Spirit Paper? " Cheng Baiwan opened his eyes wide, thinking that he had heard wrongly.
"Right." Liu Chengfeng replied.
The materials used to make low level Spirit Paper were simple, so it was easy to make. However, low level Spirit Paper were mostly used by cultivators who had just learned how to use talismans, so they were sold at a very low price and could not earn much money. Most of the cultivators who came to the market were powerful, so the Spirit Paper they bought were at least mid-ranked. No one cared about the lower ranked, so Cheng Baiwan didn't usually sell low-ranked Spirit Paper.
"This little brother, didn't he just learn how to use talismans?" Cheng Baiwan asked, his expression now no longer as passionate as before. Even if he wasted his time making low level Spirit Paper, he wouldn't be able to earn much money, so he was very unhappy.
"Yes or no?" Liu Chengfeng was unwilling to say more and directly asked.
Hearing Liu Chengfeng's tone, Cheng Baiwan knew that it was not easy to serve her, and did not continue to ask. He had come to the market early in the morning to set up a stall and didn't sell a single Spirit Paper. Until now, Liu Chengfeng was the only customer. He still had a few bundles of low leveled Spirit Paper, but they were all used to wipe his hands.
"I don't usually sell low level Spirit Paper, but I haven't even opened my shop yet, so I might as well make an exception and sell you some." With that, Cheng Baiwan took out six bundles of Spirit Paper s and placed them in front of Liu Chengfeng.
"Ten spirit stones per piece, six bundles for a total of six hundred spirit stones. I will charge you sixty spirit stones."
Liu Chengfeng glanced at the Spirit Paper, but did not directly answer his question. "Do you have any books on selling spirit runes?"
"Spirit Symbol Book?" Cheng Baiwan rolled his eyes a few times, as if he was scheming something.
"Yes!" But it's very expensive, little brother. " Cheng Baiwan stared at Liu Chengfeng and laughed.
"Take it out for me to take a look."
Hearing this, Cheng Baiwan felt that there was something fishy about it. Hence, he found a very old and worn out book from a storage bag and gave it to Liu Chengfeng. On the surface of the book was written in ink with the words, "Creation of Spirit Glyphs" written crookedly.
The moment Liu Chengfeng saw the book, he knew that it was handwritten by someone else, and the quality seemed to be terrible. Liu Chengfeng casually flipped through a few pages, and the content inside were mostly the low level talisman drawing methods. There was only one method that recorded Intermediate Soul Symbol s. Seeing this, Liu Chengfeng could not help but frown, this kind of book was simply trash. Unfortunately, he didn't have a book on drawing spirit runes, so he had no choice but to buy one. However, Liu Chengfeng did not like to be at a disadvantage.
"How many spirit stones is this book worth?"
"Two hundred spirit stones!" There is a method to inscribe Intermediate Soul Symbol in the book, it is already very cheap to buy two hundred from you. " Cheng Baiwan pretended to look pained.
"Alright, I'll buy it." Liu Chengfeng immediately agreed, upon hearing it, he couldn't help but reveal a cunning smile. But before he could say the two words "deal", Liu Chengfeng said again.
"Together with six bundles of Spirit Paper, two hundred spirit stones."
"What?" Cheng Baiwan opened his mouth wide in shock.
"The Spirit Paper and the book are together, two hundred spirit stones." Liu Chengfeng repeated himself.
After Cheng Baiwan heard this, his mouth opened even wider. He could not believe that this young lad in front of him would cut the price in such a way.
"Little brother, you are just trying to make a living. You don't have to make things difficult for me, right? You are my first guest today, so how about you pay two hundred and thirty spirit stones with Spirit Paper?! " Cheng Baiwan felt a wave of pain.
Liu Chengfeng glanced at Cheng Baiwan in discussion. He had to admit that Chen Million's acting skills were too good, but Liu Chengfeng was not easy to fool. Seeing Cheng Baiwan like that, he turned to leave.
Seeing that Liu Chengfeng was about to leave, Cheng Baiwan started to become anxious. Although Liu Chengfeng was his first customer earned sixty spirit stones less, he couldn't just let him go like this.
"Little brother, don't go!" Cheng Baiwan waved his hands and chased after him. Seeing that, Liu Chengfeng stopped in his tracks.
"I was out of luck when I met a bargaining master like you. I'll give you two hundred spirit stone books and Spirit Paper. "
"No, I've decided not to." Liu Chengfeng said casually.
"Ah?!" Cheng Baiwan shouted loudly, he really could not understand why he suddenly did not want the item that he just said.
"The things you gave me were trash, they weren't even worth two hundred spirit stones. Although the book contained Intermediate Soul Symbol s, the lines were incomplete. It was obviously a crude method to inscribe Intermediate Soul Symbol s. A piece of useless map actually costs me two hundred spirit stones? " Liu Chengfeng then pointed out the flaws in the book as he said that with reason.
After Cheng Baiwan heard this, he realized that he had met an expert. That book was actually written by him when he was bored, and the Intermediate Soul Symbol in that book was indeed an incomplete talisman. He had seen that talisman on a piece of rock during his experiential learning, so he decided to copy it out because he found it interesting. Because it was incomplete, even if it was successfully drawn, the power would be a level weaker than spirit runes.
"Forget it, since you can see through it, I'll buy it for you cheap!" One hundred and eighty spirit stones! " Cheng Baiwan gestured with his finger and said to Liu Chengfeng.
"A hundred." Liu Chengfeng immediately suppressed the price to the lowest possible level.
"Bullshit, the book I wrote is only worth forty spirit stones?" Cheng Baiwan scolded.
"So this book was written by you. No wonder the words are so ugly!" Liu Chengfeng's face showed an expression of realisation.
Being called ugly by Liu Chengfeng, Cheng Baiwan's face was unsightly, at this time, the people beside all turned and looked, in order not to affect his reputation, Cheng Baiwan quickly said.
"Lower your voice, don't affect my business. I'm afraid of you. A hundred dollars is a hundred dollars! Hurry up and pay! " Cheng Baiwan clenched his teeth and stuffed the Spirit Paper and the book into Liu Chengfeng's embrace, asking for money.
Liu Chengfeng was overjoyed. He straightforwardly took out a hundred spirit stones and gave it to Cheng Baiwan. At this time, Cheng Baiwan looked like he had stepped on dog feces, his face was extremely pale. Even whenhe looked at Liu Chengfeng, she did not want to spare him another glance, as she was afraid that he would turn his head and say no.
Liu Chengfeng who had gotten the benefit was extremely happy, but he still revealed a happy expression. After he put away the Spirit Paper and the books, he walked towards another stall.
In the past, he had felt vaguely attracted to something in another stall.
When Liu Chengfeng arrived in front of the stall, he realized that the person who set up the stall was a blind old man. The old man was sitting on a chair, with a cane by his left hand.
The blind old man's stall didn't have many things on display, only three items. One of them was a scarlet armor. The entire armor was red in color, and there were traces of lava flowing through it. Liu Chengfeng knew that it was a spirit array. The Spiritual Array and the armor were perfectly combined. Not to mention their grade, just the aura they emitted was already intimidating. One did not even need to ask to know that this armor was expensive.
