I add some brushing proficiency in the world of Taoism

Chapter 151 Spirituality

"Excuse me, senior brother, where can I sell resources?"

Qin Jian thought for a while and asked sincerely.

He had just arrived and was not familiar with the situation here, so he had to ask people.

"It seems that junior brother hasn't moved within the Taoist Association yet, right? He doesn't even know where to purchase resources. In fact, if you walk from here, the next street is the place where resources are purchased."

The middle-aged man smiled kindly, but his tone was full of reminders, "However, junior brother, be careful when trading here. The resource acquisition shops here are all privately owned and do not belong to the municipal association. Junior brother is new to these places. Transactions will inevitably be priced down."

And such a thing?

Qin Jian's face suddenly looked a bit unnatural.

The middle-aged man observed his words, but said with a kind face: "But junior brother, don't worry. Among the acquisition shops on that street is an old Wang's store, which is my friend. Junior brother can just take the resources and sell them there. , when selling, remember to state my name, Lei Zhong, and say that Lei Zhong introduced you, so you don’t have to worry about being underpriced.”

And such a good thing?
Qin Jian was stunned for a moment and looked at the middle-aged man in confusion.

He couldn't help but doubt the other person's actions. Why did this person want to help him if he had no relatives?

The middle-aged man looked at Qin Jian and immediately guessed Qin Jian's thoughts. He smiled and said: "Junior brother, there is no need to doubt me. I have indeed done a lot of such deceptive things, but that was all in the past. , now that I am married and have given birth to a son, I want to build some virtue for my son, so I will try my best to help anyone who asks me for help."

"Ah...this..."

Qin Jian was stunned for a moment by the middle-aged man's words. The next moment he came back to his senses, he couldn't laugh or cry. He cupped his hands to the middle-aged man and said, "Senior brother is kind to others. Your son will definitely be able to succeed in the future."

For a middle-aged man, there is no problem.

The reasons given are also reasonable.

As a person of Taoism and law, it is common for them to accumulate virtue for their children. Therefore, this middle-aged man's behavior seems reasonable to Qin Jian.

After coming out of the pharmacy, Qin Jian walked slowly towards the resource acquisition street.

When he saw the first store, he walked right in.

Not long after, Qin Jian walked out of the store and muttered to himself, "Only 210 spirit coins? I don't know if this price is high or low, but I feel like the store owner recognizes it." It turns out that I’m new here, and I’m suspected of deliberately lowering the price. Forget it, let’s go to the next one.”

Later, Qin Jian entered another house.

He did not go directly to the store introduced to him by the middle-aged man in the pharmacy, mainly because he did not trust the other party immediately.

Although the other party said that he wanted to build virtue for his son before helping him.

However, how could Qin Jian trust the other party without any verification?

He decided to visit a few more stores and ask about prices.

Not long after, Qin Jian came out of the store again, his expression indifferent.

This shop's valuation of the resources in his hand was similar to the previous one, or even lower, with only two hundred and seven spiritual coins.

Qin Jian, who came out, immediately went to the third, fourth, and even fifth houses...

Walking down a series of shops, Qin Jian found that the prices given by these shops for the materials in his hands were almost the same, basically between 210 spirit coins and [-] three spirit coins, with almost no fluctuations. .

This made Qin Jian couldn't help but wonder whether these stores had colluded in advance and negotiated the purchase price.

As his footsteps moved, Qin Jian suddenly sped up and walked back.

Not long after, Qin Jian walked directly in front of a store with the sign "Wang's Old Store" written on it.

"We have a distinguished guest, welcome!"

In the shop, behind the counter, an old man with a goatee saw Qin Jian enter the shop, and immediately stood up with a smile.

"Boss, I have some supplies that I want to sell. Please give me an estimate of the price."

Qin Jian sat down on the chair in front of the counter, took off the package from his body, took out various supplies from the package, and placed them on the counter.

These supplies were basically obtained by Qin Jian from the Jingxie Society.

Just now, in other shops, he took out these for people to evaluate.

"Thank you for your trust in our store."

The old man with the goatee had a sly smile on his face. As he spoke, he took out a pair of reading glasses and put them on, and then began to inspect the supplies Qin Jian took out.

He picked them up one by one, looking at them and appraising them. His other hand was also moving an old abacus flexibly to calculate, "They are all deviant things, the Tai Sui ruler, thirty spiritual coins, and the spiritual halo." , 35 spirit coins..."

The old man with the goatee made an estimate very quickly, and it didn't take long for him to finish the calculation. He chuckled and raised his head, "Dear guest, the total price of this batch of materials is 210 spiritual coins."

This valuation is still similar to the valuations of those previous stores.

Thoughts flashed through Qin Jian's mind, and he tentatively told the old man with the goatee, "Lei Zhong introduced me."

"Thunder Bell? That boy?"

The surprised look on the goatee old man's face suddenly flashed when he heard this, and the next moment, a wry smile appeared, "It's this kid again, why didn't you tell me earlier? Forget it, let me calculate it again, Tai Sui Ruler, 43 Spirit coins, spirit halo, 48 spirit coins... a total of 320 seven spirit coins."

"If you are willing to sell, we are willing to buy it for 320 seven spirit coins. I don't know what you think? Are you satisfied with this purchase price?"

Really?
Qin Jian was slightly stunned, and a look of surprise flashed across his face. Unexpectedly, that Lei Zhong actually helped him.

I just reported the person's name, and the purchase price increased by about 50.00% from the original price.

This made Qin Jian sigh.

"If you are satisfied, I will sell these supplies to your store."

Qin Jian responded to the old man with the goatee without hesitation.

"Wait a minute, honored guest."

The old man with the goatee kept the supplies with a smile on his face. Then he took out some banknotes and handed them to Qin Jian.

Qin Jian reached out to take it and found that these banknotes were somewhat similar to secular coins.

However, these banknotes are obviously extraordinary. There is a faint aura on them, and they are obviously full of magic power.

There is no doubt that these are spiritual coins created by the Market Association. Using these spiritual coins, you can purchase various supplies from the Market Association.

"In the future, if you have supplies, you can continue to sell them in our store. I won't cheat you on the price. However, when you see Lei Zhong, don't forget to tell that kid that what he did for me is only worth five places. , now it’s the fourth one, and there’s still one spot left, so he can only introduce one more person to me.”

Seeing Qin Jian lowering his head to inspect the spirit coins, the old man with the goatee suddenly said something again.

"Ah...this..."

Qin Jian was stunned for a moment when he heard what the other party said.

He subconsciously agreed to the old man with the goatee, but at the same time he couldn't help but feel suspicious in his heart.Looking at this posture, it seemed that there had been some kind of deal between the old man with the goatee and Lei Zhong.

The preferential treatment given to guests introduced by Lei Zhong is not free.

So, you have made some money?
Walking out of Wang's old store with a complicated expression, Qin Jian felt secretly grateful to Lei Zhong, the middle-aged man in the pharmacy.

Although it was true that the other party helped him to pray for his son, Qin Jian, as the beneficiary, had to acknowledge the other party's affection.

"He is a good person. In the future, if my help is needed, I will also take action."

Talking to himself secretly, Qin Jian continued to walk forward.

With the more than 300 spirit coins he had just received, he did not immediately buy the health and energy pills.

Currently, for him, there are too many places where he needs to spend money. Compared with buying medicine to improve his cultivation, these other things are even more important.

"Junior Brother Qin, I didn't expect that we would meet here."

Suddenly, a greeting sounded from the front, and a person walked up to Qin Jian.

Qin Jian, who was distracted, looked up when he heard the sound, and saw a 25-year-old, slender man with a bun on his head and wearing a gray robe.

"It's Senior Brother Lin. What a coincidence, I met you here."

Qin Jian recognized the gray-robed man at a glance.

This person is his neighbor, named Lin Xuanyi. He is also a Taoist scholar who has just reported to the Taoist Association of Xuanji City this year. He lives next door to Qin Jian.

Unlike Qin Jian, this Lin Xuanyi came from Huanghua County, a big county next door.

In addition, he belongs to a Taoist family, so he has much more resources than Qin Jian.

However, at this time, Lin Xuanyi had a sad look on his face.

Qin Jian looked at the other party's expression and asked in confusion, "Senior Brother Lin, what happened?"

"Oh! Don't mention it!"

Lin Xuanyi looked like he couldn't bear to look back on the past, and sighed: "Brother has been tricked by others."

"Tricked? Who dares to trick Senior Brother Lin?"

Qin Jian was surprised and secretly surprised at the same time.

This Senior Brother Lin has an extraordinary family background. As a Taoist family, he still has some background. According to his own self-introduction, this Senior Brother Lin not only worshiped the second-ranked famous teacher in the Municipal Taoist Association As a teacher, he was also trained as a seed disciple by that famous teacher.

Such a person, in the Xuanji City Dao Association, should be considered a person with a solid background, right?

Therefore, Qin Jian really couldn't figure out who would dare to cheat this person.

"Forget it, don't mention it. I can't afford to offend that person."

Lin Xuanyi shook his head with a secretive look, but he did not mention the name of the person who cheated him.

Then, he took a deep look at Qin Jian, and then asked curiously: "Junior brother Qin, what are you... going to do?"

Qin Jian said without concealing: "After my brother cultivated the Fire Spirit Body, he felt that the peach wood sword before was not enough, so he wanted to build a magic sword first."

"The magic sword?"

Lin Xuanyi looked stunned and extremely surprised. The next moment, he looked at Qin Jian with a strange expression and said: "Junior brother Qin, you are not planning to go to Gu's magic sword making shop on the next street to make it." Magic sword, right?"

Why did Senior Brother Lin's tone suddenly change so strangely?
Qin Jian sensed that Lin Xuanyi's tone was different, and couldn't help but glance at him in confusion, and asked curiously: "Senior Brother Lin, is there a problem? Here in the Taoist Association, this family seems to make the best magic swords, right?" "

As a result, when Lin Xuanyi heard this, a strong wry smile appeared on his face.

He said with a depressed look on his face: "It's good, but this store... Oh, forget it, Junior Brother Qin, after entering the store, don't worry about the price quoted by the shop owner, you must remember to bargain with him, and bargain to the death. It’s better to cut him down to one-third in one go.”

Qin Jian was stunned and realized something instantly. He asked Lin Xuanyi suspiciously, "Is this store a scam?"

"It's more than a trap."

Lin Xuanyi looked distressed and told Qin Jian through gritted teeth, "Junior brother Qin, don't forget, if you want to bargain to the death, you must at least reduce the price to one-third. In short, you can kill as hard as you can. No matter how ruthless you kill, don't care what the shop owner says about how complicated his sword-making process is, how expensive the materials are, how long it takes, and how troublesome it is to make swords. In short, don't care about how he cries that he can't make a magic sword. It’s easy, in short, just bargain to the death, give him at least a third of the kill, and more and better.”

Could it be that Senior Brother Lin was tricked by the other party?
Seeing Lin Xuanyi's heartbroken look, Qin Jian secretly became confused.

With this doubt, he took a closer look at the other party, and found at a glance that the other party had a strange and simple wooden sword on his waist.

The material of this wooden sword is completely different from the peach wood sword that Qin Jian has seen from the opponent before, it seems to be made of some kind of spiritual wood.

The wooden sword has various strange textures on it. The texture is composed of small lines. The lines are glowing and full of spirituality. They are obviously some kind of magical formation.

In addition, although the appearance of this wooden sword is simple, it looks brand new. Especially the sword body, there is no wear and tear, and there are no traces of the use of magic power, which further proves this point.

I remember that when we met before, I had never seen Senior Brother Lin use this sword. It seems that this sword was probably really made by the Gu family's magic sword making shop.

No wonder Senior Brother Lin had a sad look on his face. It turned out that he had been tricked by Gu's old magic sword making shop.

Qin Jian was secretly vigilant and said solemnly to Lin Xuanyi: "Thank you, senior brother, for reminding me. I will note it down. When we get there, I will definitely bargain hard for the shop owner."

"Junior brother, you have better luck than me."

After patting Qin Jian on the shoulder with emotion, Lin Xuanyi walked away with a depressed look on his face.

Seeing the other party walking away, Qin Jian shook his head, then turned around and continued walking to the next street.

This Senior Brother Lin's luck is also very bad.

But luckily he reminded himself.

Otherwise, you will definitely be cheated.

While secretly grateful to Lin Xuanyi, Qin Jian slowly walked to the door of Gu's magic sword making shop.

In the shop, a sense of spirituality shines directly through. Looking from the outside, you can see various rare woods placed inside the shop.

A strange wooden magic sword was placed on the shelf.

At this time, there was an old man about 50 years old, wearing a black mandarin jacket, who lowered his head and held a piece of spiritual wood to examine it seriously.

"Boss, I want to make a magic sword."

Qin Jian strode in.

The old man who was looking down at the spirit tree quickly turned his head when he heard the sound. However, when his eyes fell on Qin Jian, his pupils suddenly shrank uncontrollably.
