Chapter 639: Growing reputation
“Fellow Taoist, how do you sell this Foundation Establishment Pill?”
The young man gathered his thoughts, weighed it again and again, and decided to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill first. After all, this pill was not common in the Star Reaching Tower.
“Each one is worth three thousand five hundred and eighty-eight lower-grade spiritual stones.”
Wen Qian stood aside and said with a smile.
“It’s too expensive!”
The young man frowned slightly and his eyes fell on a sword gourd.
“What is the origin of this green gourd? What is its price?”
"The gourd is called the Sword-raising Gourd. It is a third-grade treasure. It contains a large amount of sharp sword energy, which can be used to kill enemies and demons. Its attack power is not weaker than most third-grade magic weapons. However, after the sword energy is released, it becomes mortal. It’s a thing.”
Wen Qian didn’t hide anything and introduced in detail.
“As for the price, each gourd is one thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight lower-grade spiritual stones.”
He originally planned to price it at two thousand spirit stones, but after Lu Xuan's suggestion, he finally lowered the price by two spirit stones, one thousand and two thousand, which still sounds a bit different.
Sure enough, when the young man heard this, his face showed emotion.
“The strange gourd that can release sword energy costs less than two thousand spirit stones.”
The balance in his heart gradually tilted towards the sword-raising gourd.
The Foundation Establishment Pill and the Sword-raising Gourd are both of the third grade. The former is among the most expensive elixirs of the same grade. It is priceless but has no market. Although the latter is not weaker than the third grade magic weapon, it is not real after all. The price is higher than the magic weapon. It's still a lot lower.
“Then I’ll choose a sword gourd.”
The young man hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and said, although the Foundation Establishment Pill is rare, he is still at a high level in Qi training, and there is still a long way to go before he can break through the Foundation Establishment. The third-grade sword-raising gourd is of high quality and low price, and after obtaining it, he can improve his strength a lot.
Of course, the most important thing is that he does not have more than three thousand spiritual stones in his hand.
“Use this sword-raising gourd to kill a few more monsters in the secret realm, and then buy the Foundation Establishment Pill or other treasures when you come back.”
He said silently in his heart.
"Reopening day."
Wen Qian watched the young man go away and carefully put the spirit stone away.
The reputation of a grocery store spread faster than he expected. It didn't take long for many monks in the Star Building to know that somewhere in the corner of the middle and lower floors, there was a store with a weird name. The variety and quantity of goods in the store There are not many, but almost every kind is a high-quality product, and there are many rare treasures such as fourth-grade sword talismans.
Among all the goods, except for the Beast Spirit Pill, several other kinds of pills were extremely popular, and they were quickly cleared out, especially the Foundation Establishment Pill. Many Qi-Practice Perfection cultivators were trying to sell it, just to buy one.
Every few days, the store will release a fourth-grade treasure, or one of several types of sword talismans, or rare elixirs such as Earth Fire Heart Lotus Seeds and Earth Emperor Dates, or magical artifacts such as the Feng Yue Jade Seal. , each one is favored by the monks.
Slowly, this rule was figured out by the monks who often came to the shop, and even gradually formed a strange phenomenon. On the day when rare treasures such as sword talismans or earth fire heart lotus seeds were released, many foundation-building monks came early. Lines outside the store.
“There are so many foundation-building monks waiting outside.”
“It seems that a fourth-grade sword talisman will be released from a grocery store today.”
In the early morning, the door of a shop next door opened, and a thin old man walked out. He looked at the monks lining up quietly at the door of the grocery store, his eyes full of envy.
“I must let my little **** learn how to draw sword talismans!”
He said fiercely in his heart.
The old man opened a small shop that made and sold talismans, but there were some common first- and second-grade talismans in it. There were only a few third-grade talismans. There was no need to think about fourth-grade talismans, especially fourth-grade sword talismans.
However, although he was jealous of the grocery store business, he had no idea in his heart.
Early when the store was taken down, he learned that the actual owner of the store was a real person named Jiedan.
A "squeak" sound.
“Good morning, fellow Taoists.”
“Friends of the literary world.” “Friends of the literary world, will a sword talisman be released today? What kind of sword talisman will it be?”
As soon as Wen Qian showed up, he was questioned one after another by the monks present.
“That’s right, the Great Sun Sword Talisman for sale today is still at the old price, eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight low-grade spiritual stones.”
Even though sword talismans are extremely popular among monks, Lu Xuan and Wen Qian did not increase the price and always stuck to the original price.
A group of monks filed in, and their eyes fell on a talisman with a scorching sun hanging high in the middle and a sword like silk.
"Fellow Wen Dao, I made an appointment with you a few days ago. How about selling me this Great Sun Sword Talisman? I'm willing to add five hundred spiritual stones."
A tall middle-aged man in the middle stage of foundation building said hurriedly.
“Who here hasn’t made an appointment yet? I’ve asked fellow Wen Taoist friends several times.”
Someone behind him said dissatisfiedly.
“Fellow Literary Daoist, I am the first one to come to the store today. According to the previous rules, this Great Sun Sword Talisman should belong to me, right?”
An old man in the late stage of foundation building said slowly.
“That’s natural. I will abide by the rules set by my boss.”
Wen Qian calmly took out the Great Sun Sword Talisman and handed it to the old man.
The other monks all had disappointed looks on their faces, and turned their attention to other treasures on the wooden shelves of the shop.
Not only will rare fourth-grade treasures appear regularly in the grocery store, but occasionally some good third-grade and fourth-grade magic weapons, spiritual mines, elixirs, etc. will appear.
After a while, several monks left with satisfaction, leaving behind a large amount of spiritual stones.
"Fellow Literary Daoist, I came all the way to Zhaixing Tower just for the fourth-grade sword talisman. I wonder if it would be convenient for me to sell another one? I can add some spiritual stones."
A monk in the middle stage of foundation building came over, stared at Wen Gan, and asked.
“I’m really sorry, the number of sword talismans is limited, and today’s ones have been sold. You can come here earlier next time.”
Wen Gan looked apologetic, raised his hands and said to the monk.
“I am from the Wang family in Xinyang. I just want to get a sword talisman. My Taoist friend won’t give me any face?”
The monk took a few steps forward, his spiritual energy surging around his body, directly overwhelming others with force, and there was a hint of coercion and threat in his tone.
“It turns out that it’s fellow Taoist Wang from the Wang family. I’m being rude and disrespectful.”
Wen Qian said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner. Although his cultivation level was one level lower than that of the monks, his expression was extremely calm. Even the Nascent Soul monks did not dare to cause trouble in the Star Reaching Tower, but he was only a Foundation Establishment monk.
As for his background, behind him is the Wen family, one of the major families of the Hailou Chamber of Commerce. How can he be afraid of a small local family?
“I am just managing a grocery store on my behalf. If Wang Daoyou has any needs, you can ask the real owner behind the grocery store.”
“I can remind you, Taoist friend, that behind the grocery store is a master named Jiedan, who also serves as the guest minister of the Hailou Merchant Association. You can do this for yourself.”
When the monk heard this, the expression on his face kept changing, he shook his sleeves vigorously, and left a harsh word.
“I’ll come again next time!”
“Fellow Taoist, walk slowly.”
Wen Gan went out and shouted.
Business in the grocery store is booming, and Lu Xuan also found news about the Confucian cultivator.
Mu Taoist had a wide network of contacts and helped him find out where two Confucian cultivators practiced in Tianxing Cave.
Mycoplasma pneumonia, today’s chapter. I caught a cold a few days ago and took several cold medicines, but I still kept coughing. I even had a cough that kept me awake until about four in the morning yesterday. It felt better after I changed the medicine today. The temperature changes too much, please pay attention to your health.
