Chapter 529 Everything Has a Price
Under the leadership of Xiao Ling, the three of them entered a secluded alley, passed through alleys that turned left and right, and finally came to an unknown shop.
Although the shop is small, the goods displayed in it are numerous and miscellaneous, including elixirs, spiritual herbs, and magical artifacts. But most of them are low-level things.
What is puzzling is that the shopkeeper of such a grocery store is a late-stage foundation-building monk.
"Fellow Taoist, what do you want to buy?"
The shopkeeper was a bearded man. When he saw Song and Wen coming in, he didn't get up and asked casually.
"I heard that you have Qingming flowers here?" Song Wen asked.
Hearing this, the bearded man suddenly became interested. he said in a low voice.
"This is not the place to talk. How about fellow Taoist follow me into the backyard to talk in detail?"
Song Dynasty literature is indispensable.
"The guest does as the host does."
The bearded man stood up and raised his hand to lead to the depths of the shop, where there was a narrow wooden door.
"Fellow Taoist, please."
Passing through the wooden door, the four of them arrived at the backyard of the shop.
"Fellow Taoist, to be honest, I have the Blue Underworld Flower in my hand. However, this thing is prohibited from being exported by the Liangyi Sect. Therefore, the price is a little high..."
"What's the price?"
"Thirty thousand spiritual stones per plant."
When Song Wen heard this, he couldn't help but look sideways, staring coldly at the beard.
This price can no longer be said to be a bit high, it is simply a sky-high price.
After all, Qingminghua is just an auxiliary medicine with little use, and it dares to ask for thirty thousand spiritual stones.
"Fellow Taoist, you are asking for a lot of money."
The bearded man shook his head and said, "Fellow Taoist, you don't know. The Liangyi Sect has extremely strict control over the Green Underworld Flower. In order to get the Green Underworld Flower, I have to pay a huge price and the risk is not small. Moreover, the shop's Qingminghua is over 500 years old, so the price is naturally higher."
"One thousand spiritual stones." Song Wen tried to negotiate the price.
The bearded man smiled slightly and said, "Fellow Taoist, you are joking. You can't buy Qingming Flower with a thousand spirit stones."
"Ten thousand spirit stones?"
The bearded man shook his head again, "I won't negotiate the price."
Song Wen stared at the other party for a moment and saw that he had no intention of giving in, so he could only compromise.
"Then I want three plants according to the price set by fellow Taoist."
The bearded man smiled broadly, and with a slight movement of his fingers, three jade boxes suddenly appeared in his palm.
"Fellow Taoist, please check the quality of the elixir first."
Song Wen took the three jade boxes, checked them one by one, and put them away.
At the same time, 90,000 spirit stones suddenly appeared, floating in the air, densely packed in a large area.
The bearded man looked at the densely packed spiritual stones, and his eyes became hotter.
After confirming that there was no problem with the number of spirit stones, he put the spirit stones into the storage ring.
"Fellow Taoist, is there anything else you need? The control elixir I can get from Liang Yi Sect is more than just Green Minghua." The bearded man looked at Song Wen expectantly.
Song Wendao said, "Thank you for your kindness. There is no need for it yet."
After saying that, Song Wen turned around and walked out of the store.
The bearded man and the three of them sent Song and Wen out of the store enthusiastically.
The three of them walked out of the alley and came to the main street.
"Two seniors, where should we go next?" Xiao Ling asked.
However, Song Wen did not answer her, but looked up to the sky, where several people were standing in the sky.
Shan Yue also noticed Song Wen's movements, turned her head and looked into the air, her expression under the veil instantly became horrified.
The people at high altitude were divided into two groups.
There was only one person in one of the teams, a female nun.
The reason why Shan Yue's reaction was so great was because the female nun was Xing Yixuan.
There were five people in the other team, led by a middle-aged man with an elegant temperament.
What's strange is that the elegant man only has a middle-stage Golden Core cultivation level, but behind him are two late-stage Golden Core monks and two peak-level Foundation Establishment monks.
"Sect Master Lu, there is no need to send him far away. Regarding the matter of the Wanli Breathing Technique, I would like to ask Master Lu to reply as soon as possible." Xing Yixuan said.
The elegant man said, "The Ten Thousand Miles Breathing Technique is a secret that has not been passed down by the Liangyi Sect. If the Xing family wants to exchange this technique, this sect leader has no right to decide. It must be decided by the master. Fellow Taoist Xing, don't worry, the master is out of seclusion." Later, this sect leader will report the matter to him as soon as possible. "
Xing Yixuan said, "Thank you very much, Sect Master Lu. At that time, I hope Sect Master Lu can say a few kind words for our Xing family in front of Senior Xuanchengzi. The Xing family will definitely remember the kindness of the Sect Master."
Xuanchengzi is the most powerful person in the Liangyi Sect and the only Nascent Soul Peak cultivator in the entire Discord Sea, at least on the surface.
"Definitely, definitely." said the elegant man.
Xing Yixuan cupped her hands and said, "Sect Master Lu, take your leave."
"Fellow Daoist Xing, walk slowly."
Behind the elegant man stood a middle-aged female cultivator with a late-stage Jindan cultivation.
Xing Yixuan glanced at the female cultivator intentionally or unintentionally, then turned around and flew towards the distant sky.
"Sect Master, what does the Xing family want to do with the 'Ten Thousand Miles of Breathing Technique'?"
After Xing Yixuan flew away, the middle-aged female cultivator asked.
The Ten Thousand Miles Breath Chasing Technique is a tracking spell that can use a trace of a monk's remaining breath to track the other party even if they are thousands of miles apart.
The elegant man shook his head, "I wouldn't have guessed it either, but what the Xing family wants must be no small matter."
"Will Patriarch Xuanchengzi agree to this deal?" the female cultivator continued to ask.
The elegant man said, "There is nothing in this world that cannot be sold, only if the price is not enough. However, I am afraid it will not be that easy to impress the Master."
...
The conversation between Liangyi Sect and Xing Yixuan was covered by the soundproof barrier, and outsiders could not hear their conversation.
Song Wen in the Sixiang City below naturally did not know what the few people said.
Seeing Xing Yixuan again, Song Wen was quite curious.
She first went to Wuji Island, and now came to Liangyi Sect again. What was the reason?
"Do you know the people in the sky?" Song Wen asked Xiao Ling beside him.
Xiao Ling replied, "I only know the leader, he is the leader of Liangyi Sect, Lu Heng."
Song Wen nodded slightly.
"Senior, where are we going next?" Xiao Ling asked.
Song Wen threw out five spirit stones, "You don't have to follow us, you can leave on your own."
Xiao Ling hurriedly took the flying spirit stones.
"Thank you, senior."
After saying that, she ran away without looking back, and soon disappeared in the crowd.
Song Wen stared at the direction where she disappeared, without saying a word.
Shan Yue noticed Song Wen's reaction and asked.
"Didn't she help you buy the Qingming Flower? Why do I feel that you have a prejudice against her?"
A sneer gradually appeared on Song Wen's lips.
"You were sold out, and you are still counting money for others."
"What do you mean?" Shan Yue looked puzzled.
"We were tricked. Three Qingming Flowers, 90,000 Spiritual Stones? Three thousand Spiritual Stones is about right."
Shan Yue was shocked and said, "You mean, Xiao Ling and that bearded man are accomplices? She deliberately led us to that store to let us buy expensive Qingming Flowers? But, in the whole Sixiang City, there is really no other place to buy Qingming Flowers except that store."
"How do you know that the deacon Wang of the Spiritual Cultivation Hall is telling the truth?" Song Wen asked back.
"This is impossible! The Spiritual Cultivation Hall was opened by the Liangyi Sect. How could it be in collusion with the low-ranking casual cultivators?"
"The world is bustling, all for profit; the world is bustling, all for profit. As long as there is enough profit, there is nothing impossible in the world."
