Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 19: Buy and sell
Tang Jie took a look and saw that the white grass was about one foot and three feet long, with four-petal leaves and roots wrapped around the bottom like vines. He nodded and said, "Yes, it's Bai Fu, and it's at least thirty years old." There are so many of the best young white porias, where did you find them?"
The handful Yiyi grabbed was at least seven or eight. It was a miracle that there were still white poria growing in patches on Laoya Ridge, and they were thirty-year-old white poria.
Yiyi pointed to the distance and said: "Over there at the spring."
Where is the spring?
Tang Jie was stunned.
The mountain stream is not a hidden place, and it is not close to Xiangji Cave. There is no reason for it to exist for so long.
Thinking of this, he mobilized his clear eyes and looked towards where Yi Yi was pointing. He saw steaming water next to the mountain stream. There was also a piece of water spruce growing in that mountain stream, which also exuded a white aura, connected with the water vapor in the mountain stream. Together, they formed a large piece of swirling white fog, which was hard to see clearly for a while.
Tang Jie's heart moved: "Shui Mu Yan Hua is actually a natural illusory formation, no wonder."
There are always some existences between heaven and earth, which unintentionally conform to the principles of formations during the growth process, thus forming various special effects. The mountain stream Yi Yi pointed to is surrounded by a large amount of water spruce. This substance secretes a kind of wood glue, which changes when exposed to the wind and can make people feel slightly dizzy. When combined with water, the medicinal properties will be aggravated. Originally, this mist would gradually dissipate during evaporation, but these water spruce trees unintentionally met the needs of the formation when they were growing, forming a trapped state, which caused the medicinal properties to remain, and the water mist evaporated, blocking the field of vision. , it became a natural small magic array.
People often don't know the direction when they enter it, so it's no wonder that they can't find Bai Fu. Because Yiyi is a spirit creature, she has the ability to communicate with the water spruce, and she actually found Bai Fu with its guidance.
This illusory formation is actually not difficult to break. All you need to do is bombard it with spells from a distance and blow up a few water spruce trees that serve as the main support points. However, natural magic formations are rare, and even if they are just a sight to watch, it is good. There is no benefit and there is no need to ruin the scenery.
Seeing this scene, Tang Jie also felt something in his heart, thinking that he might be able to find something that could be exploited.
Thinking of this, he took out the Jingmen flag and handed it to Yiyi and said: "Yiyi, have you seen that short water spruce? Yes, it is the smallest one surrounded by trees. You go Put this flag on the tree."
As he spoke, Tang Jie took out another square of soft fragrant jade: "Put the soft fragrant jade in the mountain stream again, remembering that it is in the water with the shortest straight line distance from the tree with the flag."
"Why?" Yiyi was confused.
"That is a natural illusion array. We can strengthen it and maybe use it as a retreat. However, this illusion array only has two elements: water and wood. It is too easy to break. It can be preserved until now. It is not that it cannot be dealt with. Ruanxiang Jade belongs to earth, which means stability, persistence and self-recovery. With this thing, it is not so easy to break the illusion array. Understand?"
In the days when he got along with Yiyi, Tang Jie never hesitated to teach Yiyi various knowledge. Although the little girl is not really proficient in formations yet, under Tang Jie's influence, she also understands a lot of basic knowledge.
As for soft jade, there are consumable and non-consumable materials. This soft jade is non-consumable, so Tang Jie doesn’t have to worry about losing it. It’s just that once the formation is activated, how many It will absorb a little of its spirituality and reduce the value of soft jade, but in terms of life-saving, it is worth the effort.
At this moment, hearing what Tang Jie said, Yiyi nodded seriously, took the flag and jade and left.
After giving the jade stone to Yiyi, Tang Jie turned back to look at his Yimu Tianqing Formation for a final inspection. Suddenly, his heart moved and he was stunned.
He didn't pay attention when he took the soft jade before, but then he suddenly remembered that when he took the jade just now, he seemed to see two squares of soft jade in the mustard bag.
At first, Tang Jie proposed a total of four points and two parties from the Yuji Stone. One party was divided into two parts and given to Wei Tianchong and Shi Meng. He also sold some small changes for money to buy ore, so he also The remaining three parties have been useless.
He quickly opened the mustard seed bag and looked again. He saw that everything in the bag was complete except for the soft jade. After taking out one side, only one was left.
Tang Jie was startled, looked carefully, and finally saw a small white stone in the corner of the bag.
When I took it out, I saw that it was the nephrite that had disappeared. However, at some point, the nephrite had completely lost its spirituality. An ashlar stone that was originally the size of a green brick has now turned into an ordinary pebble.
The good five thousand dollars were just gone!
Tang Jie's mind flashed back to the fact that he stuffed small black beads into the soft jade a few days ago.
Could it be that it did it?
This... what on earth is this thing that can absorb all the essence of nephrite from an entire square?
A chill rose from Tang Jie's spine and spread throughout his body.
Tang Jie knew that he had probably obtained some incredible treasure, but the treasure looked so weird and evil that Tang Jie did not dare to try it for a while.
At this moment, little stars appeared in the distance, which was the gathering signal of the Cangshan Sect.
Tang Jie put away the beads and walked towards the foot of the ridge.
When they arrived at the foot of the ridge, they saw Qin Zhou and others standing there whispering something. Judging from their beaming faces, they should have gained a lot.
Seeing Tang Jie coming over at this moment, Qin Zhou asked: "How did brother Tang gain?"
"Not bad." Tang Jie turned his wrist, and the handful of white poria was already in his hand.
"So many?" Several disciples of Cang Shang Sect exclaimed at the same time.
They searched everywhere this afternoon, and the five of them only got more than ten plants. Unexpectedly, Tang Jie got eight plants alone.
"It's still a thirty-year-old Bai Fu." Even Ling Jing, who has never been very talkative, couldn't help but say.
Bai Fu is not easy to come by, but white Poria born in thirty years is even more rare. Everyone was shocked by Tang Jie's harvest. Zhang Chengyun even said: "With these white Fu born in thirty years, we should go back." You can make two furnaces of Heqi barrier-breaking pills!"
As he said this, he wanted to get the Bai Fu, but Tang Jie withdrew his hand and took the Bai Fu away. Zhang Chengyun grabbed the opportunity and said angrily: "What are you doing?"
Qin Zhou coughed lightly: "Junior Brother Zhang, this is not ours."
Zhang Chengyun then remembered that Tang Jie was not from the Cangshan sect, and he blushed for a moment. Luo Yin and Ling Jing next to him started to giggle.
Qin Zhou then asked Tang Jie: "Congratulations to brother Tang for getting these many white porias. This magical herb is very useful to us. Brother Tang already knows it. I wonder if we can part with it."
Tang Jie asked calmly: "Have you found the Fire Crow Spirit?"
"This..." Qin Zhou and others looked at each other, but they all shook their heads. Apparently, no one was found.
It’s not their fault. Everyone focuses on what they need, and no one will focus on what they don’t need. If it weren't for Yiyi, Tang Jie wouldn't have gotten these white poria, so that at this moment he couldn't get anything to exchange with Tang Jie.
In fact, Tang Jie did not need more Fire Crow Essence at this time. He only mentioned this to test whether the other party had the capital to trade with him. If the other party doesn't have it, that's naturally the best thing.
As expected, Qin Zhou said: "We don't have the Fire Crow Spirit, but if brother Tang is willing to give us this white poria, we are willing to pay for it, or exchange it for elixirs."
"Yes, yes!" the little girl Luo Yin next to her shouted: "Our Cangshan Sect has a lot of elixirs, we can trade them with you!"
Tang Jie immediately said: "Okay, I want three Heqi Barrier Breaking Pills."
"What?" After hearing this, several Cangshan Sect disciples were in an uproar at the same time.
Qin Zhou looked even more troubled: "Brother Tang, can you change your request? This Heqi Barrier-Breaking Pill is the secret medicine of our Cangshan Sect and cannot be given to outsiders."
Tang Jie smiled and said: "Isn't Tianya Haige also an outsider? If you don't give such words to outsiders, it will only be used to promote your own self-esteem. Besides, although the Heqi Barrier Breaking Pill can assist in breaking through the realm, even without it, It doesn’t mean that you can’t enter the transcendent world.”
It has always been more difficult for cultivators to break through the realm as they go forward. Although it is not easy to escape from the ordinary world, it is far from a natural chasm and obstacle. At best, it will only delay the time. Those with poor qualifications and talents may not be able to make it in several years, while those with good qualifications may only take a few months or half a year. Therefore, although the Heqi Barrier Breaking Pill can regulate spiritual energy, assist in breaking through obstacles, and greatly increase the success rate of entering the transcendent world, it is only of some value to ordinary students, and even to students like Qi Shaoming, it is not of much value. Lots of value to speak of. People like him, at least until Tianxin, didn't have to worry too much.
If you don’t talk about the Nine Revolutions of Yumen, you can expect to see Sendai.
So what Qin Zhou said was just an excuse to lower the price.
At this moment, Chen Yao said: "That's what I said, but the Heqi Barrier-Breaking Pill doesn't just require Bai Fu, it also requires a large number of other spiritual materials. You only need three pills, but they are too many."
Tang Jie said: "But Bai Fu is the most important, otherwise you wouldn't have to risk coming here. With two batches of elixirs, if you are lucky, you can get at least twenty pills. I want three pills. It's not too much." !"
Honestly speaking, exchanging the white poria in Tang Jie's hand for three Heqi Barrier-Breaking Pills is really not too much. The problem is that if there is no extra profit in a transaction, then there is not much temptation at all.
Tang Jie wants equal exchange, so what’s the point of Cangshan Sect’s previous surprise?
Hearing Tang Jie say this at this moment~IndoMTL.com~ Zhang Chengyun already hummed and said: "The reason he got this white poria is not because of us bringing him here. If it weren't for us, where would he be? Got it? Besides, if it weren’t for him, maybe we would be the ones getting the white poria, and we actually had the nerve to ask for three Heqi Barrier-Breaking Pills."
He almost said directly: You, Tang Jie, are just a young boy. You are lucky that he and others did not rob you, but you still have the guts to talk to them. Do you really think that everyone in this world is like them? Such a good person? I really haven't been in the world since I was young, so I don't know the dangers of the world.
Tang Jie could certainly hear his subtext, but he just smiled and said: "According to this, how many of you dare to charge protection fees for traveling with me before?"
"You..." Zhang Chengyun was choked by his words and was so angry that he pointed at him and couldn't speak.
Qin Zhou frowned and was about to explain, but Tang Jie said: "Actually, charging a little protection fee is not too much."
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned at the same time, wondering what Tang Jie meant by this.
Tang Jie said: "It's just that the price must be agreed upon in advance. By the way, you are willing to exchange a few Heqi Barrier-Breaking Pills for this Bai Fu."
Just when Qin Zhou was about to intervene, Zhang Chengyun couldn't wait to say: "I'll give you one at most!"
"That's two pills for one life." Tang Jie nodded: "It's really not expensive."
Everyone was excited after hearing this, thinking that Tang Jie was going to agree to their conditions, but Qin Zhou felt that something was wrong with his words and said, "Tang Xuan, what do you mean?"
"It's nothing, it's just that since you want to protect me, I'll ask you to prepare to take action." Tang Jie replied calmly.
"Action? What action?" Everyone was stunned at the same time.
"Of course it's to deal with monsters. Why haven't you discovered it yet?" Tang Jie laughed and said:
"They are already here!"
