Chapter 147

The loose cultivator square looks as big as three or four Earth football fields.

However, nowadays, there do not seem to be many people setting up stalls in the square, visually less than twenty, and as for cultivators, there are scattered around fifty people.

Su Fan walked to the stall of a white-haired old man.

"Little friend, what do you need?"

"This old man has quite a few good things here. Look, this is the fur of a Tier 1 high-grade Fire Fierce Lion. This is good stuff for refining Tier 1 high-grade talismans. The price is very cheap, only fifty spirit stones."

"Little friend, you look like you come from a famous family, and you must be the descendant of a high expert with profound inheritance. Buying this fur back will definitely be affirmed by your elders."

This old man had an expression of 'you've made a profit,' which made Su Fan feel very contemptuous inside.

If the fur he pointed to was really the leather of a Tier 1 high-grade Fire Fierce Lion, he would indeed have made a profit.

After all, every Tier 1 high-grade talisman is worth over eighty spirit stones, especially talismans refined from the fur of a Fire Fierce Lion, which must be fire-attribute attack talismans, and the price often reaches about one hundred spirit stones.

If there were a Tier 2 talisman maker, this piece of fur could refine about three Tier 1 high-grade talismans.

However, this is not the fur of a Tier 1 high-grade Fire Fierce Lion at all. This old man must think he is young and ignorant, bullying him.

Sneering in his heart, he is not a greenhorn who would lose his way after being praised twice by the other party.

However, he did not interrupt the other party's boasting.

On the other party's stall, there were not too many things. Besides a few unknown leathers, there were also some claws, teeth, and back thorns of demon beasts, which were materials for artifact refining.

But unfortunately, they were all low-level trinkets.

But thinking about it, this old guy is only at the seventh layer of Qi Refining, so how could he have good things?

Looking at his wrinkled appearance, one knows he is not rich. If he can go hunting, he can at most hunt some Tier 1 mid-grade demon beasts that are not powerful.

As for encountering high-grade demon beasts, he is probably going to be their food.

There was a pitch-black stone that caught Su Fan's attention. He felt that this thing looked very much like Tier 2 Profound Yang Iron.

"Boss, how do you sell this thing?"

Su Fan finally interrupted the old man's nagging.

"Hmm!"

After talking for a long time, the result was that the other party was indifferent. The old man sighed in his heart; business is getting harder and harder to do, and fat sheep are getting fewer and fewer.

So he was a bit listless, glanced at the fist-sized stone Su Fan pointed to, and said indifferently: "Little friend, if you want it, take it for thirty spirit stones."

"Boss, don't try to fool people. This thing is thirty? Fifteen. Buy or not? If not, I'm leaving."

Su Fan was happy in his heart. If it really is Tier 2 Profound Yang Iron, then the price is at least one hundred and fifty spirit stones.

This old guy doesn't know how to count; he should be lucky today.

"Fifteen won't do, at least twenty-five," the old man quoted again.

"Hmm! Eighteen."

"Boss, this is the last time. If you don't agree, then forget it." After finishing, Su Fan also prepared to get up.

"Hey! Little friend, don't rush to leave."

"Forget it, today is the old man's first opening, so eighteen."

The old man saw Su Fan was about to leave and was a bit anxious, so he said.

Su Fan saw this and secretly laughed in his heart, so he squatted down again, took out eighteen spirit stones, and the two handed over the money and goods, quickly completing the transaction.

Su Fan also got the stone that was suspected to be Profound Yang Iron.

After getting it, Su Fan ignored how the old man nagged and walked directly away from the stall, then walked towards other stalls.

He kept asking for prices but did not continue to buy any items.

Until dusk, Su Fan had almost visited all the stalls. He didn't buy anything, but he had a great time.

He visited most of the stalls just to understand the prices here and which items were the most popular.

After a round, Su Fan also had a considerable harvest.

So he returned to the inn rented by the family. At this time, everyone had returned.

After saying hello, Su Fan returned to his room.

He began to think. He had already agreed with the Fourth Elder that he would not follow them back this time, but was prepared to train here at Taihe Mountain.

Regarding Su Fan's choice, the Fourth Elder did not stop him, but exhorted him to be careful.

Do not easily leave Taihe Mountain.

Within the Taihe Mountain range, the danger is not great, and most loose cultivators will follow the rules of the Taihe Ancestor and will not easily make a move.

But in the wild, it is different. Private fighting and robbery are very common things.

Su Fan naturally understood this point and also made a guarantee. In fact, he was not prepared to leave Taihe Mountain either.

He wants to go into seclusion here, and then absorb the power of the soul seed well, quickly improve his cultivation, and it would be best to succeed in Foundation Establishment within these few years.

In addition, he does not need to rely on hunting demon beasts for a living like many hunters.

He survives by his craft.

From the stalls, he learned that artifacts, talismans, and pills are the most popular things among loose cultivators.

Among them, talismans should be the most popular.

First, talismans are one-time consumables. In battle, they often play some unexpected roles and consume less for the caster.

Secondly, talismans are also cheaper.

Similarly, for Tier 1 mid-grade artifacts and talismans, the former often requires one hundred and fifty spirit stones, while the latter may only need thirty spirit stones, or even less, of course, there are also fifty.

However, Tier 1 mid-grade talismans, especially attack talismans, can sometimes strike a blow of a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator. When two people are deadlocked, they can often play a key role.

Loose cultivators themselves do not have many resources, and their spirit stones are not enough. They all think about splitting one into two, so they will naturally consider maximizing efficiency.

Therefore, talismans are the priority choice.

Next are pills. Pills can improve cultivation or restore magic power, which are indispensable things for immortal cultivators.

Finally, there are artifacts. The importance of artifacts is indeed needless to say, but often many loose cultivators really do not have many artifacts.

Some loose cultivators at the ninth layer of Qi Refining still use Tier 1 mid-grade ones.

Why? It is really because artifacts are too expensive. Tier 1 high-grade artifacts, the cheap ones cost three hundred spirit stones.

Three hundred spirit stones—don't look at Su Fan being able to easily get hundreds of spirit stones within a few years.

However, for the vast majority of cultivators, this is a very large sum.

Not to mention loose cultivators, even the disciples of the Su family, many do not have a net worth of three hundred.

The wealth gap in the world of immortal cultivation is very large.

"So, next, alchemy and talisman making are the best choices, especially Tier 1 mid-grade, which is the best to sell."

There are many loose cultivators on Taihe Mountain, tens of thousands of them, and the daily flow of people is also hundreds. If there is a gathering, I am afraid there will be no less than ten thousand people.

As long as he becomes a Tier 1 high-grade talisman maker and alchemist, his future income will definitely be considerable.

As for artifact refining, perhaps refining a Tier 1 high-grade artifact can yield a net profit of over one hundred spirit stones.

But artifact refining is also the most time-consuming. Generally, a Tier 1 high-grade artifact often takes more than twenty days, or even longer.

But alchemy and talisman making are different. The time will be shortened a lot, so he also has time to cultivate.

In any case, he cannot reduce the time for cultivation. He will not do things that put the cart before the horse.
