149 Arbitrage space

It's been the second day since we arrived at Lingling Island.

It can be clearly felt that there are many more people on the island today than yesterday.Because of Yanxiu's need to replenish spiritual energy, they rested at the periphery of the island at night. When they were about to enter the central area of ​​the island today, the main passages were already overcrowded.

When Yan Xiu was flying, he had to stop frequently, just like the traffic jam Wu Xiaoqing saw in the city.But here is blocking the sword.

But fortunately, when blocking the sword, Wu Xiaoqing noticed that the atmosphere in today's "bazaar" was obviously more lively than yesterday.Probably due to the huge flow of people, many businesses finally stopped meditating, and many people started to hang signs in front of their stalls, indicating the prices of the things they sold and the prices of the things they bought first.

Translating these words, the introductions of these stalls are all in this style:

"Flying swords are exchanged for spirit stones, but the master has not been recognized."

"Spiritual Qi recharge, comes with empty stones, one stone can be charged."

"Feijian is on sale. Feijian is on sale. The quantity is large and the quality is high. The owner is dead. Use it carefully. Go back and process it yourself. If there is any accident, I will not be responsible."

"Flying swords and magical artifacts are changed to masters, spirit stones are repurchased, high-quality magic artifacts have no owner, the price starts at 20 spirit stones, no trouble without stones."

"Acquisition of Zhang Zhenren's magic weapon, a 300-year-old brand on Lingying Island."

--------

Because there were a lot more stalls along the way today, Wu Xiaoqing had to slow down and walk slowly. When passing some stalls, he had to take Yan Xiu up to ask the price as required by the search and rescue team.

Although the commodity economy in this world is quite underdeveloped, commodity information is still very transparent. Basically, several common commodities have default market prices—it turned out that the search and rescue team was planning to use his ability to analyze information to make money here empty-handed. A sum of spirit stones and magical artifacts was brought back, but after a few hours of shopping, the search and rescue team was surprised to find that the arbitrage space he imagined did not exist.

The reason is actually very simple, because the market here looks crowded, but in fact there are very few transactions—according to Yanxiu, the transactions of many stores are based on decades, or even hundreds of years.

The Chinese have a saying that those who sell antiques, make collections, or engage in other luxury goods should not open for three years, and they will eat for three years after opening.

The reason is also easy to understand - the more expensive the luxury goods, the lower the transaction frequency, and the lower the transaction frequency, the higher the time cost of the transaction - naturally, it requires a larger profit margin.This principle is well reflected in the market economy of Yingling Island.

In Yingling Island, it is not three years without opening, but often 30 years, 300 years without opening, and many people wait for hundreds of thousands of years to open.

Anyway, the most worthless thing for these flying people is time, and their time cost is very low.Just find a few stalls on the side of the road, century-old shops are the minimum foundation.Just because these people have been doing business here for a long time, the price mechanism of the entire market is very sound-the most important thing is that as the categories of commodities are really small, there are only a few things, Lingshi, Feijian, magic weapon.

Among them, spirit stones are easy to set standards, and the functions of Feijian are not very different, and the price fluctuates between seven or eight spirit stones.Only the magic weapon is the thing with the biggest disparity, as small as the heating cup and electric shock device that Wu Xiaoqing saw yesterday, and as big as the now famous dry yang finger—yes, it is the same model as the big killer in the hands of Sanmai Daoist Laser emitters are for sale here.

But the price is something that Wu Xiaoqing can't afford, it's as high as thousands of spirit stones - even if it's the Nine Great Schools, they have to think carefully about such a large sum of money.

Moreover, the most important thing is that even if you save thousands of spirit stones and buy back the Qianyang finger, it is impossible for ordinary people to achieve the level of the real Samadhi. First, this laser emitter consumes a lot of energy. , if there is no anti-matter battery as the drive, the power of the laser is very weak, and it takes a few seconds or even ten seconds to stop on the person and the weapon to achieve the effect of destruction-the opponent has already run away in actual combat.

Second, the identification of the owner of the magic weapon is not the same as the identification of the owner of the flying sword.According to Yanxiu, the flying sword can be used by everyone. As long as the flying sword that recognizes the owner is processed by the Nine Schools, the original owner's use mark can be cancelled, and it can be used by a new person.But the magic weapon—even after it is cancelled, there are still innate requirements for the user itself.

The original purpose of the spirit testing conference was to test everyone's compatibility with the magic weapon.Based on the experience of the Nine Schools, magical instruments are divided into five categories according to their attributes, which are called gold, wood, water, fire, and earth respectively. The spirit testing conference focuses on whether the user has these five spiritual roots.Only those with matching spiritual roots can use the corresponding magic weapon.

But the name refers to the division of the five elements, but in practice, no one knows which instruments are included in the five elements. The rules of this spiritual root are generally vague.

Take the Qianyang finger for example. It is generally recognized that it is of the fire element, but the spiritual root of the gold element can also be used.

Another example is the Nine Heavens Magic Mirror, which seems to be metallic, but Taoist Qingyun is of wood attribute—it wasn’t until his master took over this magic weapon from the previous master that he knew that wood attribute could also be used.

Generally speaking, this spiritual root theory still belongs to the latest academic field of this era - it is not particularly rigorous in itself, but it is just used to explain some problems forcibly.

This point is similar to the frontier fields of various disciplines on Earth...

Of course, if it is not rigorous, it is not rigorous, one thing is certain.

That is, at the spiritual test conference, it is impossible for people who are determined not to have the attributes of spiritual roots to use magic weapons.According to Yanxiu, the 7th and 12th lives after his rebirth had no spiritual roots at all, so those two lives were the shortest two times he lived. Those who committed suicide and then reincarnated——those who abolished their hundred-year cultivation for this reason were not rare.

It is also because of this that the status of the spirit test conference in this world is extraordinary.

To some extent, for cultivators, this conference is like a physical examination - you are not really alive after rebirth, you can only come to the spiritual test conference to see if you have spiritual roots, Whether you have a good spiritual root - this is the only way to truly determine whether your life is worth living.Otherwise, even if you practice for hundreds of years, you can only use flying swords.

From the perspective of the world's values, a fairy without a magic weapon is like a caterpillar that has not yet grown wings, and is in a semi-growth state.

Although there are a lot of troubles and difficulties, money still needs to be spent. There are still about two days' journey from Lingying Island to the space station, and they only have one spirit stone left—just enough for one battle.So I had to sell some of the valuable things on my body and exchange them for spirit stones.

"Brother Dao, I don't know what your signboard says, what does it mean to recharge your spiritual energy?" Even for Yanxiu, this concept is brand new, and he has never heard of this word before.

"It's just to fill up the empty spirit stones, save Dao Dao's money for one empty stone... Now the empty spirit stones are starting to be in short supply, and our store also buys back all kinds of empty spirit stones, every fifteen is enough Get a brand new one."

"Then how much does it cost to fill an empty space?"

"Two spirit stones can fill you with three."

Yan Xiu was very curious: "Then didn't you lose one? Since you can fill three, you can sell the price of three spirit stones. How can you only charge two spirit stones?"

"I'm here to say that spirit stones are in short supply now. There are too many people and few stones. Many people who have nothing to cultivate can't sell their whole body for a price after rebirth. We will contact these people and provide empty Stones are for them—these people don't even have flying swords, and they are eager to earn some spirit stones to buy flying swords."

Yan Xiu looked back at Wu Xiaoqing, saw him nodding, and said to the shopkeeper: "In that case, then I will charge three, but I only have one spirit stone here. It can be used as a spirit stone, I don't know..."

"The Qiankun Furnace? Bring it to me."

Yan Xiu then took out his cup and handed it to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper just glanced at it and smiled: "It's a pity that you don't come to do business, Qiankun Furnace? I thought it was some kind of profound magic weapon. It's named after that." It's arrogant... At most half a spirit stone, this thing is everywhere, it's not very useful, but it's just for some idlers to use it to refine medicine."

Wu Xiaoqing frowned, this cup seemed to be the only thing they could trade at present - the electromagnet would be used to save Wu Xiaoqing's life in the future, so it was impossible to trade it.

He searched carefully in his bag, and took out a few charging treasures he had brought with him—there were still unused batteries in them.In Wu Xiaoqing's mind, since the world relies on electricity to sell money, it may be worth a little.

But the search and rescue team told him that it is impossible for this kind of battery without wireless charging function to be approved.What's more, the capacity of Wu Xiaoqing's power bank is really...

"Your black iron shield can be sold for a good price," said the shop owner. "If you are interested, we can sell 8 spirit stones."

Yan Xiu shook his head: "I still have use for the black iron shield."

"You're going to participate in the spiritual test," the shopkeeper nodded. "That's not for sale, but the shield probably hasn't recognized its owner yet. If you need to re-identify the owner, this store only accepts one spirit stone."

"I haven't tested it yet, so why talk about recognizing the Lord," Yan Xiu said in a flustered manner, "I'll only make plans after the test."

"Then the recharge?"

"It's just that half of the spirit stone is missing, shopkeeper, how about this, the Qiankun Furnace and this spirit stone are counted as one and a half, and you only need to charge two and a half spirit stones, is that good?"

The shopkeeper shook his head: "This is my loss, two for three, this rule cannot be changed."

Yan Xiu and Wu Xiaoqing looked at each other, and the search and rescue team said, "You have fifteen empty spirit stones worth a brand new spirit stone?"

"exactly."

"Then just wait a moment, I'll go back and look for it."

Their "car", um, is an aircraft, and it is still parked on the side of the "highway". There are about a dozen empty batteries that Wu Xiaoqing brought out from the Jiutianmen, and they are going to be taken back to the space station for recharging. According to In terms of the calculation method, there are at most 8, and it can be counted as half - this is enough for two spirit stones.

"Hmm... 8 counts as half, but it's okay," the shopkeeper picks and chooses among a pile of empty batteries. Suddenly, he keenly captures a familiar pattern, and then shouts in surprise, " Void Transformation Stone!"
