Chapter 348 A Nun and Her Coal
It was a boisterous sight at the fleabrokenspiritual raphy by eminent practitioners of the past Athe eyes
Liu shi+ba said, “Mr Ning, you can take out your elixir See if you could trade it for what you like”
Ning Tao smiled blandly “Let me observe first You don't need to keep me company, Old Master Liu”
“Okay, let's talk later” Liu shi+ba turned and left with Reverend Qingsong and Hai Dongfang
Qing Zhui glanced at the threeTao's ear Her cherry lips were aletting someone to barter for your elixir”
Ning Tao nodded He, too, could read Liu shi+ba's mind
Ning Tao brought Qing Zhui around this flea market for practitioners Soon, they stopped at a stall run by a swarthy-facedHe had thick eyebrows and a rectangular face, appearing quite ihteous
Spread on the raphy One bore the character “Cultivation,” its calligraphic strokes vigorous and bold, almost as if the character would soar out of the paper into the sky Ning Tao quite liked it, so he asked casually, “Friend, how raphy cost?”
The swarthy-faced , “If you like it, you can have it for 10 million”
Ning Tao was shocked “It's too expensive!”
The swarthy-faced raphies at auctions go for tens of millions My price is quite reasonable”
Ning Tao said, “Those calligraphies were by faraphers Who wrote yours?”
The swarthy-faced raphy A blurry seal mark was imprinted there He said, “This is le's reign”
Ning Tao carefully examined that seal and found that it bore the characters “Old Demon of Black Mountains” in ancient Chinese script He realized so in his eyes and nose He discovered this swarthy-faced man was a black bear demon!
To be honest, this was a calligraphy written during the third year of En and beautifully executed It was indeed not too expensive at 10 million But the characters “Old Demon of Black Mountains” ruined it all If it weren't for that seal, it could easily fetch tens of millions at auctions
“Do you want it?” the swarthy-faced man asked
Ning Tao shook his head and took Qing Zhui away He was actually not keen to buy that calligraphy He was no cultured connoisseur and had only asked to test the waters of the oods in this flea market to be exorbitantly expensive Their prices were so inflated, there o for 10 million, how much would a spiritual material cost?
Soon, Ning Tao stopped before an old wo broken shards He looked closely and realized that they were broken frag sword He instantly became excited and asked, “Old madam, how much do you want for these broken shards?”
The old woer
Ning Tao asked tentatively, “One million?”
The old wo Tao “100 million!”
Ning Tao was so astounded that hisfor 100 h to buy a helicopter Who would travel nowadays on a flying sword? If there were sudden weather fluctuations or if it were raining, he would end up completely drenched!
The old woht snort She said scornfully, “You don't look rich enough to buy this Get ”
“What did you say?” Qing Zhui was enraged
Ning Tao pulled Qing Zhui back and asked tentatively, “If I repair your flying sword, how much would you pay me?”
The old wo for trouble?”
Ning Tao scrutinized the shards again and found the and the sword could not be restored to its former condition Even the rotten broken tripod could not repair it So he left with Qing Zhui
They circled the fleaTao had discovered a few spiritual materials and wanted to buy them, but was put off by their prices
Actually, it was not because the prices in this flea market were inflated, but because he was poor The practitioners and de Dynasty for example If he took out his rice bowl and sold it, he would earn a hefty profit Besides, had these practitioners and demons purchased properties, they would have pocketed a sizeable amount after a few centuries In a word, the practitioners and des A cultivating doctor like himentation could not compare with them
Suddenly, the whiff of a strange scent wafted into Ning Tao's nostrils His heart started to race, and he followed its trail Soon, he found a young nun displaying a lump of black coal at her stall
It was indeed a lump of coal, but no ordinary coal at all This was called “Rock Essence” in the Compendium of Spiritual Materials It was spiritual material carbonized in spiritual soil, which had taken billions of years to fossilize
Although this “Rock Essence” was not an ingredient for the Ancestor-seeking Elixir, it
Qing Zhui had also found so she liked She pointed at a spiritual material sold by the man next to the nun She said excitedly, “This is a Rainbow Snake Berry It is said to h off more easily It can help our cultivation too”
A Rainbow Snake Berry was one of the required ingredients for refining an Ancestor-seeking Elixir Ning Tao had been so enticed by the Rock Essence that he neglected its existence He had noticed it only thanks to Qing Zhui's reminder
The Rainbow Snake Berry plant resembled a strawberry, with colorful, spherical berries Its roots were still deep in soil and the plant was still alive It seemed to have only been recently uprooted for this flea market
