Chapter 184 Preparation

A few days later.

Xiying had left, and Yuan Ming couldn't help but stop practicing after a few days.

In the past few days, not only the practice of "Mingyue Jue" slowed down, but also the practice of "Jiuyuan Jue" slowed down a lot.

Without the assistance of Peiyuan Dan, the effect of Qingxuanxiang naturally could not be well reflected. The sudden slowdown really made Yuan Ming a little uncomfortable, so he decided to go to the market again.

A few days later.

In the private room of a restaurant in Heiyan City.

Yuan Ming sat at the main seat of the Eight Immortals Table with a smile on his face.

Opposite him sat a short and fat young man with a kind look, Gu Yue.

"Brother Yuan, it's been almost three months since we last met. I miss you very much." Gu Yue smiled deeply, holding a white porcelain wine pot, pouring wine for Yuan Ming, and said.

"I also miss Brother Gu's style, so I come to bother you again." Yuan Ming took the wine glass and smiled enthusiastically.

"Brother Yuan, it is my honor to be here. Why bother you? To be honest, it was thanks to you that I was able to sit in the private room on the fourth floor of Changxian Tower. Come, I toast you!" Gu Yue said, toasting Yuan Ming a glass of wine.

"Speaking of Changxian Tower, has the City Lord's Mansion made any progress in the investigation of the young master of Bailong Island?" Yuan Ming asked casually.

"What progress! Although the people in the City Lord's Mansion are powerful, what can they do when they encounter more powerful people? But I heard that someone saw the white-clothed woman and the colorful clown near the city gate again, but before the people in the City Lord's Mansion arrived, the woman waved her hand to set up a magic circle and disappeared with the clown." Gu Yue waved his hand and said so.

"Brother Gu is really well-informed. Let's talk about business. I found Brother Gu this time because I have something to trouble you." Yuan Ming said with a smile.

"Brother Yuan, if you are so polite, I don't know what to do. I wonder if there is anything I can help you with?" Gu Yue exchanged some pleasantries first, and then asked seriously.

"I have some magic tools that need to be sold, but I am not as familiar with the market as Brother Gu, so I want to ask Brother Gu to help me sell them on my behalf." Yuan Ming said with a smile.

Gu Yue heard this and said with a smile: "I thought it was something. I am grateful for Brother Yuan's trust. I will do my duty."

"Brother Gu is straightforward." Yuan Ming toasted.

"Brother Yuan, if you have any good things, take them out and have a look. I will help you estimate the price first. If you think it is suitable, I will help you sell it. If I made a mistake, please forgive me, Brother Yuan." Gu Yue drank a glass and then spoke.

"Then I will trouble Brother Gu." Yuan Ming said with a smile.

After that, his palm swept across the table, and magic tools appeared on the table one by one.

Among them, there was a blue feather fan, a cyan round bead, a fiery red round mirror, a fiery red spike, a triangular iron flag... There were eleven of them.

Seeing so many things appear on the table one by one, even though Gu Yue was knowledgeable, he couldn't help but be a little stunned.

"I underestimated Brother Yuan before. He actually had so many magic tools in stock." He couldn't help but admire.

"They are all low-grade magic tools. Brother Gu, please forgive me." Yuan Ming said.

Gu Yue picked up these things one by one and checked them. He found that the blue feather fan was a water-attributed magic tool, the cyan round bead was a gold-attributed magic tool, the fiery red spike was a fire-attributed magic tool, and the attributes of the other magic tools were also different.

He couldn't help but be dazzled for a while.

After he put down the last ring magic tool, he looked at Yuan Ming and said, "I have seen all these magic tools. Although they are all low-grade, their appearance and spiritual power fluctuations are still different, and the prices will also be slightly different accordingly."

Yuan Ming nodded to show his understanding.

"Among them, the blue feather fan, the green round bead, the red seal mirror, and the fiery red cone are the best, and can be sold for 60 spirit stones at the highest price. As for the others, except for the iron flag and the ring that are used as the base of the formation, which can be sold for 50 spirit stones, the rest, such as the yellow round bead, are damaged and can only be sold for the lowest price of 40 spirit stones." Gu Yue continued.

Although Yuan Ming's vision is not as sharp as Gu Yue's, and his experience is not as experienced as his, he can see that Gu Yue's price is a bit too high when it comes to selling things.

"Brother Gu, our friendship is friendship, and business is business. You can't suffer a loss." Yuan Ming said.

"Brother Yuan, if you say that, you are questioning my professionalism. Haha... Don't worry, neither of us will lose money on this business." Gu Yue laughed.

Hearing this, Yuan Ming smiled and nodded:

"I am naturally convinced of your expertise. Since you said so, I will not be pretentious. There are still some things here that need Brother Gu to deal with."

"Oh, Brother Yuan has something good?" Gu Yue's eyes lit up and he rubbed his hands in front of him.

Yuan Ming did not say anything else, but reached into his arms and pulled out ten storage bags, piling them in front of Gu Yue.

All the storage bags he had collected before, except the one given by the three cave masters, were here.

Gu Yue just took a look and his eyes were immediately straight.

His shock was not because of how precious the value of the storage bag was, but because of the storage bag itself.

Or rather, it was because of the fact that Yuan Ming could take out ten storage bags at one time.

No matter how extravagant ordinary people are, they will not carry so many storage bags with them, because the truly rich people will upgrade to use storage rings or storage bracelets, which are more advanced storage instruments.

The person who could take out so many storage bags at one time could only mean that these storage bags did not belong to one person.

"Yuan... Brother Yuan, are you really a cultivator in the Biluo Cave genealogy, not some wild cultivator in the mountains and swamps?" Gu Yue said with a dry throat.

In the past, he had also encountered some independent cultivators who took other people's storage bags to sell after killing and robbing, but he had never seen anyone like Yuan Ming who took them in a pile.

In an instant, he felt that Yuan Ming in front of him was unfathomable.

"Brother Gu, there is no need to be like this. I picked up these storage bags by luck when I was doing a mission." Yuan Ming knew what Gu Yue was thinking, and knew that explanation was useless, so he said casually.

Gu Yue heard this, whether he believed it or not, and did not continue to ask, just said:

"Brother Yuan, these things... I may have to go to the ghost market to deal with them without leaving any trouble, otherwise it is hard to guarantee that it will not cause trouble for you and me."

"I will do it according to your wishes. I will bear all the losses and expenses incurred in the process. In addition, how about giving you 10% of the labor fee?" Yuan Ming said, who was very knowledgeable.

The reason why he asked Gu Yue to do this was to hide his identity and avoid any trouble.

"There is no need for labor fees. Brother Yuan, just rest assured. I will definitely do this for you beautifully." Gu Yue waved his hand and said.

"Thank you for your trouble." Yuan Ming clasped his fists.

Afterwards, Gu Yue helped him calculate carefully. The price of all the magic tools added up to 620 spirit stones, and the storage bag was easier to calculate, 50 spirit stones each, a total of 500 spirit stones.

Yuan Ming sold all of these and gained 1,120 spirit stones. After deducting the 10% reward for Gu Yue, there were still 1,008 spirit stones left, which was a good harvest.

"Brother Gu, how long will it take to sell these things?" Yuan Ming asked.

"Three days at most... maybe, we can sell them all in less than two days." Gu Yue hesitated for a moment and gave a deadline.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you here for two days. After I'm done, I'll go back." Yuan Ming smiled.

"Although Brother Yuan, you trust me and give me so many treasures, we have our own rules. This is my certificate for doing things in Black Rock City. Please keep it." Gu Yue said, taking out a leather scroll tied with a red rope and handing it over.

Yuan Ming did not refuse. He took the leather scroll and put it away without even looking at it. In his heart, he was more satisfied with Gu Yue's work style.

In fact, he didn't need this thing at all, and he could track his whereabouts through the Soul Crow, but the other party was willing to do things so openly, which saved him a lot of trouble.

The two guests and hosts were very happy and left.

After parting with Gu Yue, Yuan Ming went straight to Changxian Tower.

As soon as he entered the building, a yellow figure came up to him.

"Mr. Yuan, I haven't seen you for a few days. Your aura is more vigorous and your demeanor is more heroic. I am really impressed." A slightly bloated female figure came over with a charming voice. It was Zhuo Lingling, the steward of Changxian Tower.

"Fellow Daoist Zhuo is becoming more and more charming." Yuan Ming said with a smile.

"If others say so, I may not believe it, but if you say so, Mr. Yuan, I will take it seriously." Zhuo Lingling covered her mouth and chuckled, leading Yuan Ming to the inner hall.

After the maid served the tea, Zhuo Lingling said, "Mr. Yuan, are you going to buy some rare spiritual materials for your visit this time?"

"I won't buy spiritual materials this time. I need some elixirs to assist in my practice." Yuan Ming got straight to the point and said bluntly.

"I remember that you bought Peiyuan Dan last time. Are you satisfied with the effect? ​​Do you need to buy some more?" Zhuo Lingling asked with a smile on her face.

"Are there any more effective pills?" Yuan Ming thought for a moment and said.

In the previous practice, Peiyuan Dan, like Qingxuanxiang, had a problem of declining efficacy in the later stage, and could no longer meet Yuan Ming's current practice needs.

"Among the pills suitable for the Qi Refining Stage, Peiyuan Dan is indeed of low quality. I think it is no longer worthy of Mr. Yuan's practice progress. We do have better pills in Changxian Tower, which belong to the middle-grade level of Qi Refining Stage pills. It is called 'Jinhua Dan'. The effect is three times that of Peiyuan Dan, but the price... is five times that of it." Zhuo Lingling said, carefully observing the changes in Yuan Ming's expression.

As a result, when Yuan Ming heard the price, his expression did not change at all.

But in fact, he was secretly complaining in his heart. The price of Peiyuan Dan is fifteen spirit stones per bottle, but this Jinhua Dan directly costs seventy-five spirit stones, which is a big difference.

"The potency of the medicine has only increased three times, but the price has increased so much. This doesn't sound like a good deal, does it?" Yuan Ming asked expressionlessly.
