Chapter 178: Picking Up Bargains in Progress (Fourth Update, Seven Chapters Owed)
This time, Li Changsheng did not head to the Yuanling Academy Market District, but instead came to the Pengcheng Fairy Trading Market.
This place was several dozen miles away from Yuanling Academy, but possessing a large flying mount, he did not waste much time.
The Pengcheng Fairy Trading Market is located in the bustling area of Peng City and occupies a full ten-plus miles in radius; it is also the largest Fairy Trading Market in the entire Yuan Prefecture, with a large number of Monster Tamers rushing here to trade every day, and the major powers of Yuan Prefecture naturally flock here, specifically setting up shops.
These Monster Tamers are mostly "Loose Cultivators," but there are also many Monster Tamers from various academies, sects, and families; the place is a mix of fish and dragons, the scene is noisy, and in order to maintain order, the Peng City government has organized a large number of patrol teams to patrol back and forth on every street every day.
It was Li Changsheng's first time coming to the Pengcheng Fairy Trading Market; he did not immediately sell High Quality Fairies and began to stroll around.
The Fairy Trading Market occupies several streets, where thousands of shops stand; just like the Yuanling Academy Market District, the decor of these shops is entirely uniform, with only the names and colors of the signs being different.
In the middle area of the street, there is also a whole row of stalls, with the overall planning and layout not much different from the Yuanling Academy Market District.
For Li Changsheng, the larger the Fairy Trading Market and the greater the foot traffic, the easier it is to pick up bargains.
At the first opportunity, Li Changsheng released his Mental Power to sense energy fluctuations within range.
Unexpectedly, upon his first release, he sensed an item with intense energy fluctuations. Judging from the color of the energy fluctuations, this should be a Wind Element treasure.
Li Changsheng's mood remained calm; merchants are often aware of the value of these items with intense energy fluctuations, and it is difficult for Li Changsheng to have a chance to pick up a bargain.
Even if the chance of picking up a bargain is small, one never knows if it might be a bargain; this requires Li Changsheng to confirm them one by one.
Soon, Li Changsheng locked onto a stall.
The stall owner was a youth with delicate features; judging by his attire, he was likely a "Loose Cultivator."
So-called Loose Cultivators are Monster Tamers without an organization; they have no master, no systematic learning, their professional knowledge is relatively lacking, and they are often at the bottom among their peers.
As soon as he saw Li Changsheng approach, the youth who had been sitting on the ground hurriedly stood up, his face revealing a seemingly honest smile.
At first glance, the youth showed an expression of admiration; he was a local Loose Cultivator of Peng City and naturally recognized the Yuanling Academy uniform, so his heart was immediately filled with respect.
"Hello, these Datura Grass are all very fresh; I believe herbivorous Demon Pets will like them very much!"
This stall had a single variety, piled high with Datura Grass, likely weighing several dozen catties.
Datura Grass has four oval-shaped green leaves; their roots are well-developed and they possess quite rich nutrients, making them a favorite of many herbivorous Spirit Beasts.
Additionally, long-term consumption of Datura Grass can, to a certain extent, increase a Spirit Beast's speed.
"Let me check the quality first!"
Li Changsheng waved his hand, casually picked up a bundle of Datura Grass, and weighed it in his hand; a bundle of Datura Grass was about one catty in weight.
The next moment, Li Changsheng made a rather exaggerated movement; he directly opened his arms and hugged most of the Datura Grass on the stall.
At the same time, he was also carefully observing the location of the light spot.
The moment he picked up this pile of Datura Grass, Li Changsheng's heart stirred; the position of the light spot had shifted slightly.
Without a doubt, his target was in this pile of Datura Grass.
"How much for the Datura Grass?"
Li Changsheng's idea was very simple; Datura Grass is a common material and its value is not high, so rather than searching slowly, it would be better to buy them all and search for the target after returning.
"Ten bundles of Datura Grass for just one Soul Crystal!"
The youth was slightly nervous; Datura Grass is relatively common and can be found in many places, and many Monster Tamers would rather go to the wild to collect it than spend money to buy it. He had been here for half a day but hadn't sold a single bundle. If the stall rent were included, this was a recipe for a loss.
"How many bundles are there in total?"
"70 bundles!"
"Here are seven Soul Crystals, take them!"
Under the dumbfounded expression of the delicate youth, Li Changsheng placed the Soul Crystals on the stall and put all the Datura Grass from the stall into his Space Ring.
Seeing the energy light spot disappear, Li Changsheng revealed a subtle smile.
The Space Ring has the effect of isolating energy.
"Thank you so much!" The delicate youth kept his mouth open for a long time before reacting, immediately showing an expression of extreme gratitude.
This was the first time he had seen such a generous Monster Tamer.
"Goodbye!"
After completing the transaction, Li Changsheng bid farewell to the delicate youth in a pleasant mood and continued to explore the Trading Market.
A flying start!
He had not expected that just upon arriving at the Fairy Trading Market, he would achieve a flying start, and his mood was naturally much more pleasant.
Li Changsheng continued to explore, his Mental Power remaining in a released state, locking onto items with intense energy fluctuations time and again, looking for opportunities to pick up bargains.
Unfortunately, his good luck seemed to have run out; these items with intense energy fluctuations were all marked with high prices, and it was clear the merchants were well aware of their value.
By the time evening arrived, Li Changsheng had walked through the entire Fairy Trading Market, but unfortunately, he had no further gains.
"It seems my luck has run out; now I will first rent a stall to dispose of the excess items on me!"
Soon, Li Changsheng spent one Soul Crystal to apply for a stall; at this time, there were no good locations left, which resulted in his stall being in a relatively remote position on a street with less foot traffic.
Soon, Li Changsheng found his stall; he first opened his Space Ring and took out a large pile of items that were of no use to him; these items were basically materials, many of which were his harvest from the Green Wild Forest.
Additionally, he also took out several High Quality Fairies he had subdued in the Green Wild Forest; they were two snakes, a Swift Thunder Leopard, a Tusked White Pig, a Soil Bamboo Rat, and an Orchid Sparrow.
Among these six High Quality Fairies, the Swift Thunder Leopard is a Superior Servant Species, most skilled in speed, and combined with the advantage of being mountable, this resulted in it having the highest value.
Next is the Tusked White Pig cub, which possesses the Bloodline of the Divine Beast Heavenly Canopy Divine Pig and is also mountable.
As for the remaining four Spirit Beasts, their values are not much different, basically between 20 and 30 Soul Crystals.
These Spirit Beasts had lived in the Green Wild Forest their whole lives, and at this moment, they were watching the passing Monster Tamers with curious and fearful eyes.
At this time, Li Changsheng took out six wooden plaques and hung them on the six Spirit Beasts respectively, with their basic information written on them for passing Monster Tamers to view.
For Li Changsheng, since he was not prepared to waste time and resources raising them, it was better to find suitable buyers for them.
Although Li Changsheng's stall was relatively remote, the six High Quality Fairies still attracted a large number of Monster Tamers; they gathered around the stall, all revealing expressions of surprise.
It was no wonder they were surprised; High Quality Fairies are relatively rare, often one in a hundred, and Monster Tamers usually choose to keep them for their own use after obtaining them, let alone six High Quality Fairies.
At this time, a Monster Tamer dressed in gold and jade broke the silence: "Stall owner, how much for your Swift Thunder Leopard?"
"Eh!"
Li Zhangsheng did not answer, because at this very moment, he sensed a treasure with intense energy fluctuations.
What was rather strange was that this treasure was lingering right near his stall.
Four chapters today, making up for two, still owe seven chapters. It is Monday, please give me some recommendation votes!
Writing three chapters today; if I cannot write them, the author is a pig, all readers are witnesses. Although I can no longer afford pork, a person should always have dreams! Judging by these pitiful subscriptions, one chapter is worth about 20 yuan, only enough to buy half a catty of pork... For the sake of me guaranteeing quality and promising not to abandon this book, please subscribe.
