If I upgrade, I can win prizes

Chapter 38
As soon as Lu Ang opened his mouth, everyone in the room was shocked, and he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Lu Ang also knew that what he said was inappropriate and not normal.

Magical power is the core extraordinary power of the magicians in this world. Which magical power to learn, how to use it, how to become stronger, and how to withstand the cost all require careful consideration. How can you choose the cheap option?

Even if you tighten your belt and try to sell things, you still have to choose the one that really suits you.

Having too little money to afford it is definitely not an acceptable reason. If you can't afford it for the time being, you can book it first and then make money later.

Moreover, as a formal member of the Magical Powers Division, he can gain some merit points every day, go to the logistics department to exchange for spiritual materials, and then come to the black market to exchange them for golden tickets.

Even if the magical power you choose is slightly more expensive, it's just a matter of spending more time saving money.

Just like when you go to the hospital for treatment, after describing the condition, and then asking the doctor to prescribe the cheapest medicine in the hospital without waiting for him to open his mouth, that's not how things work!

However, Lu Ang had no choice. As the captain, Zuo Baihu could accompany him once, but he might not be willing to accompany him a second or third time.

Moreover, it was obvious that Zuo Baihu had put some thought into accompanying him to the black market, and he should have used some of his connections in the military.

If he comes to the black market alone in the future, even if shopkeeper Cheng already knows him, he might be in danger.

Lu Ang knew that there were many bad people in places like the black market. He had so many bits and pieces on his body and only had so little strength. It would be great fun if someone beat him up and the things leaked out.

But now, with three of the strongest experts from the teams protecting him, this is when he is at his highest level of security!
Therefore, Lu Ang decided to get everything done today and never come back again in the future.

A gentleman does not build a dangerous wall, he must try his best to be modest.

After all, Shopkeeper Cheng is the shopkeeper. After the initial surprise, he once again entered the role: "The customer's request is strange, but we naturally have this cheap magical power."

"But magical powers are magical powers after all. No matter how cheap they are, they cannot be exchanged for ordinary gold and silver. Among the magical powers currently sold in our store, the cheapest one costs one thousand gold. Can this customer afford it?"

Lu Ang thought for a while: "I wonder if you can conduct spiritual object identification here?"

"We are not responsible for the identification and exchange of spiritual objects." Shopkeeper Cheng smiled: "You can go to the calligraphy shop. I will wait for you here."

Without a word, the group left the calligraphy shop and walked to the calligraphy shop.

"Fourth, what exactly do you think?" Zuo Baihu couldn't help but ask.

"Yeah, we don't have to buy it this time." Chunhua also expressed confusion: "Select it first, and then go back and think of a solution. We can help you then."

"Actually, your [Gravel] is quite useful." Qi Kai also advised: "Changing magical powers is not something that happens casually. Every extra magical power comes with an extra cost. I don't think there is a rush."

"I know." Lu Ang apologized slightly, mixing the excuse he made up with his performance: "It's really that the cost of my [gravel] skill is too painful. I'm still young now, and I still want to marry a wife and have children. If I keep using it, My body is useless! But if I don’t have magical powers, I am just a martial artist with relatively strong martial arts skills. How can I fight side by side with everyone? I have to change my magical powers. It’s really... it’s really... I can’t bear it, I can’t wait any longer.”

Qi Kai opened his mouth wide: "Ah! That door of yours [Gravel] is actually..."

Chunhua showed sympathy: "That really can't be used anymore."

Zuo Baihu patted his shoulder: "I understand! I have a merit point, but if I can't, I can lend it to you!"

Amid the comforting sounds of the three people, the group finally walked into the calligraphy shop.

The calligraphy shop was surprisingly large, almost three to four hundred square meters, and there were quite a few people inside. Some were holding a few flowers, some were holding a stone, and some had snake heads popping out of their sleeves...

The environment here is very much like a bank. There are small cubicles with numbers on them, and they are covered with thick black curtains. You can't see clearly or hear the sounds inside.

There are rows of tables and chairs in the hall, with some snacks and tea on the tables for those waiting to enjoy.

There are also beautiful maids who shuttle among the crowd, bring tea and water, and guide the guests into the free cubicles.

I sat down at an empty table and chatted for a while. I was recommended several so-called "famous doctors" and introduced some "magic medicines". Finally, it was everyone's turn.

Yes, everyone chose appraisal.

Good guys, you all hide it deep enough!
In the center of the compartment, there is a table covered with silk and two chairs. Sitting on one of them is an attractive young woman.

Lu Ang sat down as she instructed.

"I wonder if the guest has any spiritual items that need to be redeemed?"

Lu Ang first took out the three [Secret Medicines] issued by the Zhou family.

The beautiful woman glanced slightly, but did not take over: "Well, the standard [secret medicine] produced by the imperial court, two pills are complete, one has no wax seal, and the medicinal properties have been slightly lost."

Then he raised his head and said, "The guests may not understand the rules of our secret street. We also have alchemists in our secret street. We can also refine this kind of ordinary [secret medicine] ourselves, so it cannot be sold for a high price." "

"Then...how much can I exchange for it?" Lu Ang did not take it back, since this thing was of no use to him anyway: "If you can't sell it at a high price, you can sell it for as much as you want."

"In this way, for the two complete ones, I'll count them twenty gold for you, and for the unsealed one, I'll count you fifteen gold, for a total of 55 gold. How about that."

"Deal!" Lu Ang said nothing and stretched his hand into his arms again.

However, this time he hesitated a little.

In fact, there are only a few of the spiritual objects he has on hand that can be called spiritual objects. Except for those that absolutely cannot be used for trading, there are only two left.

Raw spiritual stone, grass spiritual elixir.

There are large and small raw spirit stones. One of them has been used for a long time and is now about the size of a little fingernail. It doesn’t hurt to sell it.

However, after much hesitation, Lu Ang still did not choose the spirit stone.

The reason is also very simple, that is, he discovered that there is no general equivalent in this black market.

As we all know, in the world of immortality, there is a general equivalent, which is the standard spiritual stone.

They are cut from large and small raw spiritual stones, and are rhombus-shaped lenses with fixed sizes and weights.

The larger ones will be cut into one-tenth of the size of the spirit essence, which can be regarded as small change. The smaller ones will be directly ground into spirit stone powder, which is a common consumable in talismans, alchemy and other arts.

In this magical world, at least in this black market, there is no general equivalent. Otherwise, there would not be this calligraphy shop that exchanges the so-called "golden tickets".

There is spiritual energy in this world. Logically speaking, there should be spiritual veins. There should also be spiritual stone mines that are branches of the spiritual veins. There should also be such things as spiritual stones.

However, in this place where extraordinary people gather to trade, there is no trace of spiritual stones.

There must be a problem here, maybe it's a big problem, maybe it's a very big conspiracy!The person or force who spun this conspiracy was definitely not something he could challenge.

If you take out the spiritual stone, you might get into trouble!Even fatal trouble!
Therefore, Lu Ang finally took out a grass spirit pill.

After so many days of practice, this is already one of the last five pills.

However, although the practice of taking pills is fast, it is not enough to upgrade my "Naling Gong" to Level 2. I have to give it up.

The light green elixir appeared on the silk satin, and the beautiful woman's eyes lit up.

"This is..." Her voice trembled slightly, but her hands wearing black silk gloves were very steady: "This is..."

Her eyes lit up, not an exaggeration this time, a real adjective.

This should be a pupil-like magical power.

"Dear guest, please wait a moment!" The beautiful woman put down the Grass Spirit Pill with reluctance, stood up and bowed slightly.

After saying that, he walked out of the cubicle, not knowing where he went.

Your business skills are not good!I don’t even know the elixirs in the world of cultivation, but Bai Chang is so beautiful!

But, she wouldn't look for money and find someone to arrest me, would she?If she wants to harm me, I will scream!
After thinking wildly for a while, the black curtain was opened again, and the beautiful woman brought in a little old lady on crutches.

"Master, I am really not sure about this elixir, so I have to ask the master to take action..." The beautiful woman's original graceful temperament disappeared, and she looked like a student in training, cautious.

The old woman also wore black gloves on her hands. She twisted the grass elixir and looked at it carefully. It took a while before a voice came out: "It's strange, it's really strange. The clear spirit of the grass and trees is actually the real grass and trees." I can't recognize the spiritual herbs used in the elixir...it shouldn't be..."

After muttering for a while, the old woman raised her head and looked at Lu Ang: "I'm sorry for my blindness, but I don't know what the name of this elixir is and what it does."

It is also a waste!
It seems that the spiritual herbs in the world of cultivation are different from the spiritual herbs in this world. From now on, you should eat less pills from this world!

"I'll tell you the truth, madam." Lu Ang used his brain again to make up nonsense: "I am a disciple of the Liuhe Sect in the North. In the battle of Qiufengyuan, all the elders of the sect were wiped out, leaving me alone. This elixir is called [Yuxiao] The Ascension Pill] is the only divine elixir taught by our master. It is a supreme divine product and has the magical power of sublimating the magical power and reversing the cost."

"Subliminate your magical power and reverse the price?" The old woman looked doubtful and didn't seem to believe it: "Did you say it again?"

"This is the one left by the elders of the master's sect. There is only one. I am really reluctant to eat it. I honestly don't know the effect." Lu Ang continued to compile: "If I hadn't encountered some difficulties this time, I would never have taken it. from."

Picking up the Grass Spirit Pill again, the old woman closed her eyes, then opened them suddenly, and bright blue light bloomed in her pupils.

"Master, take care of yourself!" The beautiful woman couldn't help but advise.

Finally, the old woman closed her eyes again and spoke slowly: "Whether your [Jade Sky Ascension Pill] has the magical power of sublimation and the effect of reversing the cost, I really can't tell, but it has a profound spiritual charm." Hidden, the elixir patterns are harmonious, and the clear energy of the vegetation is abundant. It is indeed an excellent elixir, no better than ordinary people."

She pondered for a while: "In this case, I won't bully you, just exchange it for [-] gold, how about that?"

"Can you add more?" Lu Ang hit the snake with a stick.

"Don't go too far!" The beautiful woman stopped. "A pill costs ten thousand gold, which is already a sky-high price. If it weren't for us...well, how could we give you such a discount?"

"Only ten thousand gold." The old woman said decisively: "Otherwise, we will give up."

"Okay, ten thousand is ten thousand." Lu Ang accepted happily.

There are one thousand and one cheap supernatural powers. Ten thousand, ten?

Hey!I'm finally taking off!

He walked out of the cubicle with a dozen golden tickets. The other three were already drinking tea outside.

……

"This place is still too dark for exchange." It was Chunhua who spoke: "Sell [the secret medicine] to them for 20, and they sell it for 50 themselves. It's really shameless."

"No way, there must be a big shot behind me." Qi Kai shrugged.

"Thirty thousand for a magical power is actually no cheaper than exchanging it in the Divine Power Division." Zuo Baihu expressed his opinion: "I'd better exchange it in the Divine Power Division. Thinking about it, [Soul Locking] is more suitable for me."

……

Finally, everyone came to Gongzi shop again.

"I wonder if you can redeem the golden tickets?" Shopkeeper Cheng was still waiting where he was.

"Well, what are the magical powers of a thousand gold tickets." Lu Ang Qian was brave and said in a much louder tone: "Let's introduce them all."

"Thousands of gold, naturally they are all low-grade supernatural powers that cannot be put on the stage." Shopkeeper Cheng began to introduce:
"There is a magical power called [Divine Tongue]. You can use your tongue to distinguish the various flavors of food, what ingredients are used, what spices are used, how to add condiments... It is an excellent magical power for chefs."

"What's the price?" Lu Ang asked.

"The rules of our store are that for all magical powers, we do not tell you the price unless the customer buys it." Shopkeeper Cheng said in a serious voice: "You all know that the best thing about price is that you should know it alone, otherwise you will die. ! We can’t harm our guests.”

"Go ahead and talk."

"There is another one, called [Takong], which allows you to change directions in the air. To be honest, after testing by our store, it is the level of first-class Qinggong. Ordinary Qinggong masters can also change directions in the air, like Yanzimen's "The Kite's Three Turns" has reached the highest level of cultivation, and it can even change direction nine times in the air."

"There is another one, called [Drinking the River], which allows one to drink almost unlimited amounts of water. However, it must be explained in advance that the price of this magical power is extremely huge, and very few people can bear it."

"There is another one, called [Broken Soldier], which can break the weapon in battle and shoot out to hurt people. The better the material of the weapon, the more powerful it will be. This is indeed a combat magical power, but, it is different from [Tracking in the Sky]. 】Similarly, high-strength martial arts can also achieve the same effect without suffering the price."

"There is another one, called [Nong Ying], which can make one's own shadow change into various shapes, and can even be stretched hundreds of feet, like a black line. You can also hear it, but other than that, it is useless. "

"There is another one, called [Famous]. This is also a magical power of little use. You can know the other person's name just by looking at it. It is used by some big forces to train concierges who know guests."

……

All the magical powers came out one after another in Shopkeeper Cheng's mouth.

Finally, it came to the end: "These are the ten doors that cost one thousand gold in our store."

"Okay, I want it all!"
