Li Mu looked back.
Ding Yi, an unreliable guy, rushed back after a round of shopping, carrying a lot of messy things in large and small bags.
Li Mu was speechless when he saw his appearance.
I don’t know how to put it into the storage space, but I have to display it outside. What’s wrong with this?
Sensing Li Mu's gaze, Ding Yi smiled proudly: "What? You can't carry it outside. Hehe, I just like the feeling of returning home with a full bowl of food."
Li Mu stopped talking.
Ding Yi shook his head again and said: "These bullies have dark hearts, and they are so ruthless in bargaining."
His talent of "inquiry" has been fully utilized, and he has a thorough understanding of this market. As soon as he heard the quotations from these people, he knew that the prices offered by these people were far lower than the true value of this little beast.
Li Mu said nothing.
Even if Ding Yi didn't say it, he could guess it.
Everyone who came to the market in Xingchen Station was not a human spirit, they were all old men and women, ruthless and ruthless. When they spoke, every one of them was as if they were being chopped with a knife, and the bargaining power was shocking.
Obviously seeing this little boy alone and helpless, he maliciously lowered the price.
The little boy had a good idea. He wanted to die with a [Reduction Pill], but anything else, whether it was fairy crystal or barter, had to be rejected.
Someone got impatient and threatened verbally.
The old Taoist priest who called out the little beast's name before gave a chuckle and said: "Everyone, this is wrong. This little guy's grandma is seriously ill and can only be cured by [Reduction Pill], so he decided to kill this condition. Yes, people's hearts are made of flesh, so please don't force him anymore, his grandma is lying in the cave outside the market..."
When the little boy heard this, his eyes suddenly showed a hint of vigilance, and he looked at the old Taoist priest.
The old Taoist priest said: "Hey, little guy, don't worry, the old Taoist is not investigating you." He shook the cloth flag in his hand and said: "There is nothing in this world that I, the old Taoist, can't calculate. Don't worry. Come on, Master Dao, I don’t have any ill intentions towards you.”
After hearing this explanation, the little boy's vigilance in his eyes did not diminish at all.
He has a deep sense of caution towards everyone.
The old Taoist priest ignored the little boy and turned back to the crowd: "We are all walking in the world, and we should understand that in the world, we must have principles when doing things. This Xingyuan beast was fed by the little boy with his own essence and blood. , he has been playing since he was a child, and like his family and friends, he had no choice but to change the dressing to treat his grandma. Please show compassion and don't make any other crooked ideas."
When the old Taoist priest said this, some people shook their heads, chose to give up, and left.
The old Taoist priest has been in Gilded Town for the past few months, making a living by telling fortunes. He has accurate predictions and is somewhat famous, so some old people also give him some face.
But not everyone is just an old Taoist priest.
"One [Reduction Pill] is a bit expensive, but half a pill is enough to be considered." A fat man who looked like a businessman, wearing a leather hat and accompanied by two guards, said with a smile while stroking his triple fat chin.
The little boy looked a little relaxed.
He persisted here for almost half a day, and finally someone was able to take out the [Reduction Pill]. He was a little excited, but then he thought of something again, and shook his head very firmly: "No, one."
The businessman just smiled lightly and stopped asking for a price.
"Kill this little thing and use its fur to make armor. You will definitely be able to make a treasured armor." Some people's eyes were shining, and they could already see that the secret of the little beast resisting the sword light of a strong man in the Broken Realm was all revealed. On its strange black fur.
The little boy who was holding the little beast to comfort him suddenly changed his expression when he heard these words, and held the little beast named Flathead tightly in his arms.
The cub, as if it could understand people's words, looked at the calligrapher and growled, revealing its sharp white teeth like daggers, and its eyes were full of anger and hostility.
The little boy and the little beast were like two souls relying on each other in a desperate situation, hugging each other tightly and holding on to their stubbornness.
Li Mu looked at the side and was a little interested in the Star Origin Beast called Flat Head. However, on the one hand, he did not have a pill called [Reduction Pill], and on the other hand, the relationship between the little beast and the little boy was really close. , as the old Taoist said, they are like family members, and he cannot bear to take away others' love.
Wish this little boy good luck.
Li Mu turned and left.
Ding Yi shook his head.
The blood of the Star Origin Beast royal family is quite valuable. If the little boy is anxious to reveal the rarity of this little beast, he is afraid that it will cause some unexpected trouble.
The two people walked around in front of other stalls.
Li Mu also bought a few small things. They were all Taoist alchemy products. They looked quite exquisite and had some strange little functions. However, they were more of a reward and not very valuable. Li Mu bought them to give away. Yes, Hua Xiangrong, Wang Shiyu, Xiao Daji, and Qingfeng Mingyue...
It's just a little bit of care.
Ding Yi, on the other hand, revealed his nature as a shopaholic, and he was shopping for goods. He was interested in the messy herbs, minerals, broken ancient weapons, armors, etc.
"Maybe there is a big treasure in here, haha, pick it up." He was very excited.
Li Mu was immediately speechless.
Who first described this market as a vegetable market and the goods in it as rotten vegetable roots and leaves?
While wandering around, Li Mu was suddenly attracted by a faint energy wave coming from the front.
Very strange energy, between life and death, which has almost never been seen before.
The most important thing is that there seems to be a subtle echo between this energy and the innate skill.
Li Mu's heart moved.
He followed the direction of this strange wave and walked forward for more than 20 meters and came to a small stall.
A black cloth was spread on the ground.
Dozens of large and small irregular-shaped stones were placed on the cloth. The large ones were half a person's height, while the small ones were only the size of a baby's fist. They had different colors, mostly black and dark green, and were placed in a messy and random manner.
The stall owner is a mysterious man covered in a black cloak. He wears a black mask on his face. Only his eyes and nose are exposed. It is impossible to distinguish between male and female. But from the look in his eyes, he must be quite old. His eyes have been vicissitudes of life. It was as if he had experienced all kinds of things in the world.
The strange fluctuations that Li Mu sensed before, which echoed the [Innate Skill], were permeating from this pile of rocks.
There were quite a few people around the stall.
"This rough stone is not bad. There is an 80% chance that it will yield an immortal crystal, and it should be silver grade..." A middle-aged man who looked like a businessman, holding a dark green stone as big as an adult's palm in his hand, said to himself, Then he asked the stall owner: "How much does this piece cost?"
The stall owner didn't even raise his head, his voice was hoarse, like two pieces of rusty iron rubbing against each other, and he said: "A silver fairy crystal."
"It's expensive." The middle-aged man threw the original back into the stone and said, "Even if there is a 100% chance of finding a silver-level fairy crystal, it will only be the size of a silver fairy crystal, so it's not cost-effective."
The stall owner didn't say anything, and acted like he wanted to buy or not.
Only then did Li Mu realize that these stones of different sizes were actually the raw ore of Duxian Crystal.
It sounds similar to the raw jadeite on earth.
This is gambling on stones.
If these rough stones are cut open, there is a certain probability that they contain fairy crystals. Their value is much more important to monks than the jadeite rough stones on the earth. Once the bet is right, the profit can be doubled. If the bet is wrong, then the profit will be doubled. All we can do is admit defeat.
This stall owner, covered in a black cloak, must be a lone interstellar miner.
While Li Mu was observing, people were picking stones one after another.
It can be seen that selecting raw fairy crystal stones is also a very deep knowledge. These people observe the appearance, weight, texture and other characteristics, make judgments, and then make a price.
But in the end, the prices given by the stall owners were much higher than the buyers' psychological expectations. Therefore, after a stick of incense passed, there were many people looking at the rough stones, but in the end, no one made a deal.
This stall owner was very calm and offered the right price without any counter-offering, which made the potential buyers around him very angry but helpless.
"You won't make a business doing this." someone warned.
The stall owner said: "Whether you want to buy it or not."
A faint wave of energy flashed across his body. It was powerful and terrifying, and he turned out to be a cultivator in the mortal realm.
The person who warned him immediately stopped.
Some people around who had other evil thoughts also gave up their minds.
The cultivators of the Mortal Realm can already be regarded as the top group in the Gilded Town. They are all ruthless characters and there is no need to provoke them easily.
Li Mu also became interested.
He squatted down and pretended to pick through the pile of stones.
In fact, he didn't know the knowledge of selecting rough stones. He mainly wanted to find the stones that emitted that strange energy wave.
But I don't know why. As I got closer, the strange energy fluctuation became much weaker. I could only tell that it was inside the pair of stones, but for a short time, I couldn't tell which one it was.
Li Mu felt that this was too inefficient, so he quietly operated the Sky Eye.
There were too many people here, so Li Mu was very cautious. He raised his eyes and opened a hair-like slit. His brilliance was restrained. He lowered his head so that others could not see the change.
He picked up a rough stone and observed it quietly.
"Huh?"
Li Mu was surprised.
The power of the Eye of Heaven was actually unable to penetrate the surface of the rough stone in his hand, and could not see what was contained inside.
interesting.
But on second thought, this seems normal.
There are many monks in the galaxy who practice various Dharma eyes. If they can see through the original stones in this way, wouldn't gambling on stones become a joke? Under the Dharma eyes, the quality of all raw stones can be seen at a glance, and there is no gambling on stones at all. It's necessary.
Even the Dharma Eye and the Heavenly Eye cannot see through the rough stone.
Li Mu thought for a while, but was not willing to give in. He continued to try with a trace of luck, quietly operating the [Xiantian Kung Fu], injecting the chaotic energy into the Heavenly Eye, and a strange wisp of mist gradually grew in the pupils inside the Heavenly Eye between the eyebrows. .
A miracle happened.
The stone skin on the surface of the original stone suddenly seemed to disappear.
He saw that in the middle of this rough stone, which was the size of an adult's palm, there was a ball of golden light, which was like the golden light of the morning sun. It was extremely dazzling and occupied about one-third of the entire rough stone.
What's this?
Li Mu was very surprised and curious.
