Chapter 352
"Boss, how many spirit stones for this bottle?" Lu Yang squatted down and asked casually.
"Guest has a good eye. This jade vase was obtained by me from a secret realm opened by a Nascent Soul cultivator, containing diluted Taiyi True Water. Eighty thousand spirit stones."
Lu Yang's eyes twitched, thinking to himself, are you robbing people? A Jin Dan cultivator's entire net worth is only one hundred thousand spirit stones.
And the Decayed Fairy had already told him that the Taiyi True Water inside had been diluted ten thousand times. The power contained in his urine was even more than this.
In the market, if your brain isn't working well, your knowledge is insufficient, or your eye for detail is lacking, you are easily cheated.
Fortunately, he had the Decayed Fairy.
"What is the efficacy of this bottle of pills?"
"Cultivators often find it difficult to reach Core Formation in one go. This bottle of pills can simulate the process of Core Formation, with sixty percent similarity to the real situation, greatly increasing the success rate of Core Formation. Thirty thousand spirit stones per bottle," the vendor enthusiastically promoted.
Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou looked at each other, a bit puzzled. Isn't Core Formation always a one-time success?
Lu Yang shook the pills and smiled: "Boss, you're not being honest. Even if sealed with a prohibition method, the medicinal power of the pills is still dissipating. Thirty thousand per bottle is the price for complete pills, not the price for this bottle of yours."
The vendor smiled on the surface and praised Lu Yang for his good eye, but was secretly shocked—he had met someone who knew the business.
"What about this flying sword? Don't tell me this is a flying sword used by the owner of the secret realm," Lu Yang said casually, his attitude making the vendor feel unsure.
The vendor was in the middle of it and didn't understand, but Meng Jingzhou had figured it out. Lu Yang had laid the groundwork for so long, and his goal was this flying sword.
Could such a broken flying sword be hiding some secret?
"This flying sword is hard in texture and has remained immortal for a hundred years. Although it doesn't reach the level of a Nascent Soul cultivator's accessory, it must be one of the close-combat magic treasures. It experienced a great battle, and repairing it would be a loss, so it was placed in the secret realm!" the vendor said firmly, as if he had seen a Nascent Soul cultivator use the flying sword to kill enemies with his own eyes.
Lu Yang didn't believe the vendor's nonsense, but he suddenly thought of another question: how could an immortal sword be broken and dilapidated? Even after hundreds of thousands of years, it shouldn't be like this.
Unless it really experienced a great battle and the immortal sword was damaged!
Who was the enemy?
"Alright, that's enough to fool others. Don't think I can't see that the quality of this flying sword is worrying. It's barely enough for a Jin Dan cultivator to use; it should be a sword for a Foundation Establishment cultivator."
Although the vendor didn't know the origin of the flying sword, he couldn't let Lu Yang make the final conclusion.
"This is definitely the sword of the secret realm owner at the Jin Dan stage; it couldn't have been used by a Foundation Establishment cultivator!"
Lu Yang showed an expression of not wanting to argue: "Three thousand spirit stones. The flying sword is broken like this; I have to repair it after buying it back."
"At least twenty thousand!"
"Let's go." Lu Yang got up and left.
"Hey, wait, the price can be negotiated. Eighteen thousand spirit stones!"
Lu Yang said coldly: "Five thousand spirit stones."
The vendor gritted his teeth. He had set up stalls in other places, and people disliked the flying sword for being too broken, so no one bought it. This time at the Qingzhou Grand Ceremony, it was hard to find someone to buy it. If he missed this time, he didn't know when the next time would be: "Five thousand is five thousand, just consider it making a friend!"
Seeing Lu Yang get the flying sword as he wished, Meng Jingzhou asked curiously via voice transmission: "What is the origin of this flying sword?"
"A flying sword used by an ancient immortal."
Meng Jingzhou gasped and looked at Lu Yang with envy. He had picked up a huge bargain!
Originally, Lu Yang wanted to ask around to see where the vendor got the flying sword, but the vendor said it was from a secret realm opened by a Nascent Soul cultivator as soon as he opened his mouth, so he knew he couldn't ask anything.
In order to raise the price, vendors would try their best to fabricate the origin of the items, which meant that this flying sword was at most obtained from a Nascent Soul secret realm.
It was probably picked up by some Nascent Soul cultivator occasionally, and the source could no longer be traced.
Lu Yang examined it for a moment. The flying sword was broken, but there were no bloodstains or nicks, and the cross-section was rough, as if it had been broken by brute force.
His intuition as a sword root told him that this had definitely been a peerless good sword.
"Is the Qilin Immortal a sword cultivator?"
"Is the Qilin Immortal a sword cultivator?"
The Decayed Fairy shook her head: "No. The Qilin Immortal doesn't use a sword. Let's go, let's go, let's see what other good things there are."
"Wait a minute. The Qilin Immortal doesn't use a sword, so what is this flying sword used for?"
"Eh, didn't I tell you? When the Qilin Immortal did something wrong, those two girls, Long Feng, would stand the flying swords up to form a square, making the Qilin Immortal kneel on the sword tips."
"The Qilin Immortal then asked the Ying Tian Immortal to make a batch of flying swords, making them look cold and shimmering, looking extraordinary. They had no power when used, just like kneeling on foam."
"Later, those two girls, Long Feng, discovered this matter and, in a fit of rage, broke all the flying swords. The one in your hand is one of them."
Lu Yang: "..."
So I spent five thousand spirit stones to buy this thing?
Lu Yang was still thinking about asking the Decayed Fairy to take action so he could pick up a bargain, and let Meng Jingzhou pick up a bargain too, so they could all experience the fun of picking up bargains.
Now it seems it's better to forget it. Don't let the Decayed Fairy waste Meng Jingzhou's spirit stones.
"My lord, the disciples of the Moon Laurel Immortal Palace, the Five Elements Sect, and the Prison Suppressing Sect have already arrived and are waiting at the entrance," the subordinate reported respectfully.
Upon hearing this, the Governor nodded slightly, attaching great importance to the people from the Five Great Immortal Sects: "Only three sects? The Dao Seeking Sect and the Hanging Temple didn't come? Then invite them all over."
The Qingzhou Grand Ceremony was jointly organized by the Qingzhou government and several first-rate sects in Qingzhou. If people from the Five Great Immortal Sects came, it would raise the status of the Qingzhou Grand Ceremony.
"That Dao Seeking Sect ancestor who was the Governor here back then set a good precedent," the Governor sighed with emotion. Regardless of whether the people from the Dao Seeking Sect were reliable or not, their whimsical ideas were definitely something no one could compare to.
Look, the Qingzhou Grand Ceremony was thought up by someone from the Dao Seeking Sect.
If the Qingzhou Grand Ceremony is held well, it will be counted in the political achievements.
The most attractive part of the Qingzhou Grand Ceremony is the exchange between cultivators, but the Five Great Immortal Sects can exchange internally, and the objects of exchange are all geniuses, so why would they care about this grand ceremony?
Sending people here is to give face to the Qingzhou government.
"What are you standing there for? Go quickly?" The Governor looked at the subordinate standing in place, puzzled.
"My lord, it's like this: the immortal sect disciples seem to have nowhere to stay."
"What about the post station?"
"According to your instructions, my lord, in order for the high-level cultivators to feel the enthusiasm of the government, they are all staying at the post station."
"What about the inn at the foot of the mountain?"
"They are all full."
"Then build a few houses temporarily."
"There's no space. When planning, in order to entertain more people, all the space was occupied."
The Governor was in a dilemma. It was a good thing that the Five Great Immortal Sects sent people over. If they didn't entertain them well and left a handle, it would be difficult to invite people from the Five Great Immortal Sects in the future.
"Is there really not a single house built by the government left?" The Governor was unwilling to give up and asked the subordinate to think again.
The subordinate really thought of a place: "There is a place that can house people, and it covers a huge area, and there are many empty rooms. It was also built by us. Moving in is just a matter of your word, and you don't need to pay spirit stones."
The Governor's eyes lit up: "Where is it?"
"The prison."
