Chapter 432 Selling Materials
After hearing this, Xiao Lin pondered for a moment, and the dark green light of the star ring on his hand flashed, and a jade box appeared on the table.
In front of Lu Kexin, Xiao Lin tore off the seal talisman on it and opened the jade box.
Inside the jade box was a thumb-sized blood-red crystal, which exuded a hazy red aura, like a ruby, extremely gorgeous.
Seeing this blood-red metal, Lu Kexin's pretty face showed doubts, but after a moment, her face froze, and then showed a surprised expression.
"This... Is this a piece of Yanjing?"
"Miss Lu has a good eye, but I don't know if this Yanjing is qualified to participate in the auction held by your company?" Xiao Lin smiled faintly.
He got this Yanjing from Meng Huojiao's storage bag. At first, he didn't know that this blood-red crystal was the legendary third-level rare material Yanjing. Later, he accidentally learned its name and use from a book about refining materials that he bought while strolling in the fairy city.
Flame crystal is the best material for refining magic weapon with fire attribute. Once the flame crystal is integrated into the magic weapon, it can make the magic weapon carry the earth's mysterious fire, greatly enhancing the power of the magic weapon.
Like the ice jade in Xiao Lin's hand that is prepared to be used to refine the Qingluan Ice Thunder Sword, it is a very rare and precious material, but ice jade is much more precious than this flame crystal. After all, once ice jade is integrated into the magic weapon, it can greatly improve the toughness of the magic weapon, and it is said that the magic weapon will never be damaged.
Of course, Xiao Lin knows that this is an exaggeration. In the world of cultivating immortals, everything is interdependent and restrained, and there is no absolute invincibility. The so-called strong combat power is that the cultivators have a variety of secret techniques and magical powers to avoid being restrained by the enemy and fall into a passive situation.
But even if the flame crystal is inferior to the ice jade, it is also extremely precious. It is possible to form such a small piece of flame crystal from the lava of thousands of feet after millions of years of precipitation and compression.
Moreover, even Jindan cultivators cannot enter the lava of ten thousand feet. For Yuanying cultivators, although they can go deep into the lava of ten thousand feet, they may not necessarily find the flame crystal even if they enter it.
Most of the flame crystals in the world today were brought out from the ground after the volcanic eruption. It takes a lot of chance to get them.
Xiao Lin thought that the reason why Meng Huojiao had this piece of flame crystal was that it was given by Grandma Yuanbao. It was prepared for Meng Huojiao to refine her life magic weapon after she entered the Jindan stage, because there was indeed a jade slip in Meng Huojiao's storage bag, which recorded the refining method of a magic weapon called [Thousand-foot Fire Silk].
For this magic weapon, just by hearing the name, you know that it is suitable for women. Not to mention that its fire attribute does not match Xiao Lin, the shape of this magic weapon alone makes Xiao Lin have no intention of refining it.
"Senior Xiao, please wait for a moment. Lu Kexin will ask the elders of the company to come and identify it." After carefully checking it for a long time, Lu Kexin put down the flame crystal in her hand and said to Xiao Lin.
After Xiao Lin nodded in agreement, Lu Kexin turned and left.
After a cup of tea, two people came in from behind the screen. The one in front was naturally Lu Kexin, and behind him was a white-haired old man in his fifties or sixties. The old man had white hair and a childlike face, and he had a bit of immortal style.
"This is Feng Yuze from our Dongtian Company, Elder Feng, who is also the person in charge of our Dongtian Company in Black Stone City. This auction was also planned by Elder Feng."
"It turned out to be Elder Feng. Xiao Lin is polite."
"Haha, it turned out to be Fellow Daoist Xiao. Although Feng is a few years older, I am ashamed to say that in terms of realm and cultivation, I am far inferior to Fellow Daoist Xiao." Looking at Xiao Lin, Elder Feng showed a surprised expression on his face at first, then sighed and spoke.
Xiao Lin naturally understood the emotion that Elder Feng felt after discovering that he was actually a cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core. He did not care.
"Elder Feng is too kind. Xiao has been in seclusion for many years and has practiced hard, and only has this little bit of Taoism. It is really not worth mentioning." Xiao Lin said modestly.
"Daoyou Xiao is really modest. I heard from Ke Xin that Daoyou wants to auction this Yanjing?" Elder Feng looked at Xiao Lin, and the person in front of him gave him a sense of mystery. Although the real age of a cultivator cannot be seen from the surface.
But you can roughly guess the other person's age through appearance and the perception of breath. Of course, if you want to accurately know the age of a high-level cultivator, the best way is to use the [Bone Mirror], because no matter how young a cultivator looks on the surface, the bone age in the body is unchanged.
The bone mirror is a magical instrument that is used to detect the bone age of a cultivator. However, it is very impolite to use a bone mirror to look at a cultivator, so few people really use the bone mirror to explore the real age of a cultivator.
Although Elder Feng could not know Xiao Lin's age accurately, he judged from the aura emanating from him that the young man in front of him, who looked only in his twenties, was probably not more than a hundred years old.
This really surprised him. A cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core who was less than a hundred years old, although it cannot be said to be unique in the entire cultivation world, is definitely rare.
When he entered the Golden Core stage, he was already one hundred and forty or fifty years old. Moreover, more than two hundred years have passed since he entered the Golden Core stage, and he still has not entered the middle stage of the Golden Core. This comparison immediately made him feel frustrated, and he had the previous words of emotion.
"Xiao wants to participate in this auction, but he is short of spirit stones, so he reluctantly put this piece of Yanjing up for auction, and also wants to collect enough deposit for the auction." Xiao Lin touched his nose and said embarrassedly.
"I see." After hearing this, Elder Feng's face showed a look of realization.
"This Yanjing is very precious, and I have just identified it. It is indeed Yanjing. Such a large piece is worth at least 100,000 low-grade spirit stones in the market. So, our Dongtian Company is willing to prepay you 100,000 low-grade spirit stones. After the auction, the extra spirit stones will be supplied to you. How about it?"
Xiao Lin pondered for a while and nodded: "Let's do as Elder Feng said. In addition, please help Xiao look at these three materials. I wonder if your company will buy them, and these two bottles of Jiangyu Dan."
After clarifying the price of the Yanjing, Xiao Lin took out three jade boxes and two jade bottles and placed them on the table.
Elder Feng watched Xiao Lin tear off the sealing talismans on the three jade boxes and opened them one by one.
Inside were three third-level refining materials, a fist-sized black jade, a foot-long and wide snow-white tooth, and a soft silk thread wrapped in golden light.
"Sky Poison Jade, Hundred-Pattern Tiger Teeth?... Is this... Is this golden silk?" Seeing these three materials, Elder Feng showed a surprised expression on his face and said the names of the three materials one by one.
These three materials were also obtained by Xiao Lin from the storage bags of Meng Huojiao and Bei Hanjin. When he sorted out the materials inside before, he felt that they should be good things, so he placed them separately for collection.
Later, through communication with other cultivators, he would intentionally or unintentionally explore the origins and uses of these materials, and he figured them out. However, although these three materials are precious, they are useless to him, so he took them out for sale.
Originally, Xiao Lin did not tell the origin and purpose of the three materials, and he wanted to test Elder Feng. However, what surprised Xiao Lin was that Elder Feng was indeed worthy of being the head of Dongtian Commercial Bank in Black Stone City. He could tell the names of the three materials at a glance.
These three materials are all materials for refining magic weapons. Although they are not as precious as materials such as Yanjing and Bingyu that can enhance certain characteristics of magic weapons, they are also top-grade third-level materials and are very expensive.
"This piece of Tiandu Jade is a material for refining evil magic weapons. Although there are evil cultivators in our world of immortal cultivation, their number is relatively rare. It is not easy to sell this piece of Tiandu Jade. Our Dongtian Commercial Bank is willing to pay 30,000 low-grade spirit stones to purchase it."
After a pause, Elder Feng picked up the tooth of the hundred-patterned tiger again and looked at it carefully. After a while, he put the tooth down.
"This is a tooth of a mature Hundred-Striped Tiger. In terms of strength, it should be at least a mid-level Emperor-level monster. It is also a rare third-level premium material. Moreover, since the Hundred-Striped Tiger has the Yang Fire attribute, the magic weapon refined with its materials will also be biased towards cultivators with the Fire attribute. I am willing to pay 35,000 low-grade spirit stones to purchase it."
"As for this golden silk, it is also an excellent material for refining third-level spirit net-type magic weapons. Moreover, for cultivators, the spirit net woven from this golden silk has many special functions. The fairy world is a very popular third-level material. This ball of golden silk is enough to refine a magic weapon. I am willing to pay 50,000 low-grade spirit stones to purchase this ball of golden silk. "
Xiao Lin listened patiently and did not interrupt. After Elder Feng finished speaking, Xiao Lin nodded, then pointed to the two jade bottles in front of him and said: "Elder Feng, please also estimate the price of these two bottles of crimson jade pills."
Reaching out to pick up a jade bottle and gently opening it, a rich fragrance immediately spread, making Lu Kexin's eyes light up.
Elder Feng smelled it carefully, and his face showed surprise: "This is actually an excellent third-level elixir, and it is also an extremely precious elixir that improves cultivation. Fellow Daoist Xiao really wants to sell it? "
It seems that he can't figure it out. For cultivators, whether it is a magic weapon or a material, it is ultimately a means to improve combat power, and it is of no use for improving their own cultivation.
The elixir is different. Especially after the cultivators enter the Golden Core Stage, the elixir that can really improve their cultivation becomes increasingly scarce. After the spiritual herbs enter the third stage, except for a few that reproduce through seeds and split roots, most of the third-level spiritual herbs are born with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which is hard to come by.
Even for a small number of third-level spiritual herbs that can be reproduced through seeds and split roots, the cultivation cycle is too long, often three to five hundred years. Therefore, except for some large sects that will open up small spiritual fields for cultivation, for individual cultivators, basically no one will choose to cultivate them artificially.
This also keeps the price of third-level elixir at a high level.
