Chapter 869
After double confirmation, Zhao Xing's heart jumped violently. He never expected that he could really find a good item at a small stall selling fakes.
This Sea Demon Bead was a good thing; holding it in hand could hide one's energy aura.
And in the water, it could exert its maximum function, allowing the energy aura to be completely hidden.
However, although he was very excited inside, he didn't show it at all on the surface.
Even so, the stall owner's sense of smell as a businessman sensed his subtle changes. He saw this and hurriedly said:
"This blue bead is extraordinary. I traded it from a traveling merchant. According to him, this is a Sea-Fixing Divine Bead from the sea, a god-level treasure.
This treasure can absorb endless seawater inside, and then slowly condense it into rule power to deal with enemies!"
The more he said, the more the stall owner's tone began to become impassioned.
But Zhao Xing felt nothing inside about what the stall owner said. This was not only because he had experienced Zhuyue's incident and clearly realized this was a scam.
More importantly, he already knew that this blue treasure bead was a Sea Demon Bead, so he looked at the stall owner's expression like looking at a fool.
So Zhao Xing pretended to cooperate and said: "Oh, what you said is indeed not bad, then what is the price?"
The stall owner heard this, and it was a play. Without thinking, he said: "This is a god-level item, so it needs more energy stones.
It needs.... one million energy stones!"
Hearing this, a gleam of light flashed deep in Zhao Xing's eyes.
This Sea Demon Bead was priceless, and its value could be estimated at one hundred million energy stones. But this stall owner looked like he knew nothing and was just making up the effects of the treasure here.
After Zhao Xing knew about this matter, he knew there was definitely room for bargaining, so he put on a disgusted expression and put the blue bead back in its original place.
"You say it's god-level, so it's god-level? I didn't sense any god-level aura on it at all."
After speaking, Zhao Xing turned his head directly to look at other items.
But it was a pity that the other things on the stall were very average, or they were items with energy, but the fluctuations were not very strong.
At most, they were auras of the Venerable Realm. The only advantage might be that there were many things here.
Seeing Zhao Xing picking items with a lack of interest, the stall owner hurriedly said: "This fellow daoist, I can see you have an extraordinary bearing.
How about this, I have a few more bottom-of-the-box goods here, take a look."
As he spoke, the stall owner took out some items containing strong energy.
Among them were medicinal herbs of heavenly treasures, as well as weapons and secret techniques, but Zhao Xing just glanced at them and lost interest in checking.
Because he saw that although these things contained more energy than those on the stall, the quality was average.
However, in order to obtain the Sea Demon Bead, Zhao Xing still pretended to watch them seriously.
"I'm not interested in the few you took out. How about this, pack this... this... and this for me."
Zhao Xing pointed to a few jade hairpins and a few medicinal herbs at random, then looked at the 'Sea Demon Bead' and said: "And I'm not ignorant either.
As for that blue bead, it's worth at most 100,000 energy stones. This is still because it looks good and I'm planning to give it to someone that I offer this price. You see if it's okay, I can pay now."
"This... guest, you've pressed the price of that bead too hard." After pondering for a few seconds, the stall owner quoted: "How about this, I'll sell you the bead for 200,000!"
"150,000, no more. If not, I won't take the others either. You, this stall owner, are not very honest!"
The stall owner put on a look of regret, but in fact, he was happy inside: "Fine, fine, fine, take it, take it. It's 320,000 energy stones in total. Eh.... you've really made a profit. This blue bead is indeed a god-level item!"
Zhao Xing smiled and didn't speak, but in fact, he was happy inside. He never expected that he would have such a big harvest just by coming out today.
He bought a Sea Demon Bead worth over 100 million for only 150,000 energy stones, and it was a very precious treasure.
And although Yan Qi and Gong Jian didn't see the reality of this bead, they both knew Zhao Xing's temper and knew that he definitely wouldn't do anything that would damage his own interests.
However, even so, Zhao Xing didn't choose to let this stall owner go. After all, one thing is one thing, Zhuyue's matter still had to make him pay the price.
So Zhao Xing put away the treasures he bought, then sent a secret divine sense transmission to Zhuyue.
Just when the stall owner was wondering why these people didn't leave after buying things, Zhuyue walked over with vigorous steps.
After arriving here, Zhuyue pointed at the stall owner and said: "Brother, it's him, it's this stall owner who sold me fakes!"
The stall owner, who was originally full of confusion, changed his face instantly upon hearing this voice and hurriedly explained: "I'm not... how could I sell fakes? The things I sell are all genuine!"
"You're still lying. I've already shown it to my brother. You said the jade hairpin beautifies and nourishes, but it has no effect at all. It's purely cheating!"
"I didn't. This jade hairpin is born of heaven and earth, and the heavenly essence contained in it is extremely beneficial to the human body. It can prolong life and ensure the effect of appearance."
Watching him still quibbling, Zhao Xing slowly said: "If you sold this jade hairpin to an ordinary person, it would indeed have a little effect, but selling it to a lord with cultivation is purely cheating. For a lord, the beneficial substances in it cannot have any effect at all."
The stall owner's eyes flashed, and he responded with panic: "That... I... she didn't say it was for her to use at the time. I thought it was for a mortal!"
Hearing the stall owner's words, Zhao Xing showed a faint smile and said: "Oh, so you admit the real effect of this jade hairpin. Then it's easy to handle. Hurry up and refund the money."
Looking at Zhao Xing's expression, the stall owner gritted his teeth and said: "No refund. No returns after sale. This is the rule of the black market. Are you trying to break the rules?"
Are you kidding me?
The money is already in hand anyway, how could there be a refund? Moreover, the black market does have this rule. He is just taking advantage of it now.
Upon hearing that the stall owner successfully took the bait and even talked about the black market rules, Gong Jian, who was well-prepared, stepped forward and said: "Interesting. Since you talk about rules, then I will have a good chat with you. If someone maliciously sells fake goods in the black market...
Not only will they have to pay double the energy stones, but they will also be expelled from the black market, and most importantly, they will be blacklisted by the black market and never allowed to enter again.
I believe you should know these rules, so I advise you to return the energy stones now, and I won't go to the black market enforcers. Otherwise, you'll have a hard time!"
"Uh... I'll refund, I'll refund, okay?"
The stall owner clearly didn't expect that someone would know the ropes, and agreed unwillingly, then took out the purchase fee for this jade hairpin from his body.
Then he looked at Zhao Xing and said: "This brother has good vision. Are you interested in joining us and becoming a member of our Appraisal Association?"
"Not interested~"
For the invitation of this cheating stall owner, Zhao Xing ignored it directly. This person is unreliable, let alone this organization.
And this Sea Demon Bead, these people didn't even see what it was. One can imagine this must be an unknown small organization.
And Zhao Xing is now full of thoughts about going home after improving his strength, and doesn't want to join any gangs.
"That's a pity... it's really a pity. As long as you join, I can pay you one million energy stones a year, plus ten treasures of your choice!"
Who knew, Zhao Xing remained unmoved and turned directly to several people and said: "Not interested, let's go."
Yes.
Only this 'Sea Demon Bead' among the stall owner's treasures is real, and the rest are fakes. It is estimated that this bead was also picked up by a blind cat hitting a dead mouse, and it is very likely that it hadn't been tested by the black market.
Otherwise, with the strength of the black market, they would have been able to see the value of this treasure and would definitely have pretended it was an ordinary treasure and taken it for themselves.
"Eh... brother, our association is called the Heaven-Gift Association. If you are interested, you can find us in Donghuang City!" Seeing that Zhao Xing really wanted to leave after he stated the treatment, he hurriedly said the name of his organization.
And Zhao Xing didn't respond at all, just walked toward other stalls.
Because he still remembered the purpose of coming this time, which was to find a secret technique for disguise, but he unexpectedly harvested a Sea Demon Bead.
As a result, Zhao Xing searched around the black market and did find a secret technique for disguise.
But after roughly looking at the introduction and letting the Time Divine Tree take a look, they were all secret techniques that didn't meet his selection criteria.
After a lap, several people passed by the stall just now again, and the stall owner also observed everything Zhao Xing did.
He observed that Zhao Xing usually stayed for a long time in places selling secret techniques, and coupled with the recent situation, he roughly guessed what Zhao Xing was looking for.
So he mysteriously called Zhao Xing and said: "Several brothers, stay, are you looking for a secret technique for disguise?"
Hearing this, Zhao Xing narrowed his eyes, and at the same time, an invisible fluctuation spread from his body toward him.
Feeling this surging energy aura, the stall owner hurriedly said: "You don't need to be so cautious, because the matter of the Purple Light Token has already spread in the last few days, so many people are looking for this type of secret technique, so I just made a bold guess."
Seeing the momentum coming toward him subside a bit, the stall owner breathed a sigh of relief. Just a moment ago, when he was shrouded.
He felt like he saw a scene of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, which scared him into a cold sweat. Only then did he have the courage to say:
"If you have this need, I really suggest you join our Heaven-Gift Appraisal Association. We have a large number of collected secret techniques waiting for destined people to open."
"Heh heh, if there really are good secret techniques inside, you would definitely sell them or cultivate them yourself. How could you leave good things and give them to others?" Zhao Xing looked at the stall owner with an expression like looking at a fool.
Although the stall owner couldn't see Zhao Xing's expression, he still heard his meaning from his tone.
"So you are worried about this. It's like this, the secret techniques we collect are all sealed. Some sealed techniques need knowledgeable people to open them, so you don't need to worry about this."
Just when Zhao Xing was half-believing, the World Divine Tree in his inner world sent a divine sense at the right time.
"What he said is indeed correct. Some secret techniques left over from ancient times do need certain means to be unlocked."
Chapter 298: Obtaining the Secret Technique, News of the Spirit-Condensing Gu Insect!
"If they are not opened according to the rules, the magic circle sealing the secret technique will be triggered, thereby destroying the entire secret technique.
They should be that kind of Appraisal Association that stores a large amount of this type. As long as they recruit knowledgeable people, they can use this to earn a large sum of money."
Listening to the explanation of the World Divine Tree, Zhao Xing finally understood the whole picture of this matter.
However, this organization inexplicably reminded him of the commercial means of opening blind boxes in the Great Desolate Star Domain, where most of the things put inside were cheap goods.
Although he was now on an alien continent, it was not guaranteed that this thing didn't have the possibility of being fake.
And this was a relatively high-level blind box. In this way, both the buying side and the stocking side were gambling.
One side was gambling on their good luck, and the other side was gambling on how to make this thing more perfect so that people wouldn't discover it.
However, all of this was floating clouds to Zhao Xing. If it were according to this, Zhao Xing's job in joining this organization would be to try his luck at opening blind boxes.
