Chapter 225 Trade Fair
Entering the market, there were still a large number of low-level practitioners selling incomplete cultivation manuals on both sides of the street. The panda walked skillfully to a two-story attic and knocked on the door. A questioning voice came from inside the door, "Who?"
"Panda."
The door opened easily, because in the Taixu Illusion Realm, no one had to worry about security issues, so a lot of confidentiality work could be saved. After all, those who could break through the restrictions of the Taixu Illusion Realm could not be prevented by these middle-level practitioners even if they used confidentiality measures.
Zhou Tieyi and Yueqin followed the panda in. The panda introduced the place to them. "This kind of small loft only costs one Grand Illusionary Coin to rent once, which is very cost-effective. The organizer of this party is called Baili, a real big shot. Anyway, when I entered Grand Illusionary Land, Lord Baili had already organized this kind of party."
The panda's voice did not avoid the people around him. When Lord Baili heard this, he smiled and said, "I am only a few years older than you. I am not a big shot. Who are these two new friends?"
"Yueqin."
"panda."
Zhou Tieyi's answer still surprised everyone, and then someone joked, "Panda, the one you brought here is not your real brother, right?"
The panda did not answer this question, deliberately leaving people to imagine.
Baili acted like a peacemaker and said to Zhou Tieyi and Yueqin, "Add me your contact information using Taixuhuan Nian. I will inform you of the location and time of the gathering in the middle of each month."
This is a routine operation in the Grand Illusion Realm. Yueqin and Zhou Tieyi have almost figured out the basic rules of the Grand Illusion Realm, so naturally they don't appear to be as cautious as Xiaobai.
After exchanging information with Baili, Zhou Tieyi and Yueqin followed the panda and sat down casually. After all, this was a dream and how many people could be crammed into a room depended entirely on the host's wishes.
While Zhou Tieyi was waiting for the official trade fair to begin, he casually looked at the people around him. Most of the people here appeared vague, and some even deliberately made their voices neither male nor female, neither old nor young. In their perception, this was the only flaw that could expose their own information.
In Zhou Tieyi's eyes, the luck of most people is not worth paying attention to, at least not worth his attention.
There were only two people, one was Baili. The other party said he was a few years older than everyone else, but based on his own observation, this Baili was probably at least several hundred years older than everyone else.
His vitality gives people a very special feeling, vigorous and old at the same time...
The luck above his head took the shape of a water palace, and the surrounding clouds transformed into fish and shrimps to guard it.
Zhou Tieyi understood instantly that this Baili should be a god, and a water god.
After all, humans live on the shore, while gods hide in the water, so the chances of being discovered are much smaller.
Even when reading the files of the God-Slaying Division these days, Zhou Tieyi discovered the existence of a divine palace called "Dragon Palace".
This is a first-class divine palace standing in the sea, which can transform sea beasts into its followers. At the same time, it has the support of the Thunder Pool and other desperate situations, making it impossible for Daxia to destroy it.
Being of the same rank, the gods are most powerful within their own divine palaces and can at least withstand three invaders of the same level.
In addition to Baili, the luck above another person's head manifested into a longbow whose specific shape could not be seen clearly. However, the moment Zhou Tieyi saw the longbow, he had an instinctive feeling of fear.
He instantly decided not to look any further. The fact that his spiritual sense could be aroused by fear showed that the other party was capable of counter-reconnaissance. If he just took a quick look at the aura, with the help of the cover of the Taixu Illusion Realm, the other party might not have noticed it yet. But if he continued to test it, he would be as stupid as the third-grade physiognomist, and he would not even know that he was being plotted against.
Those who calculate others will always be calculated by others.
After waiting for a while and seeing that no more people arrived, Baili announced, "Let's start today's trade fair."
As the organizer, he naturally took the lead. Perhaps because of his great skill and courage, the first thing he materialized was related to his own origins.
"This is a thousand-year-old clam pearl with a dragon seal inside. It is considered a fifth-grade spiritual material. I want to exchange it for two hundred Taixuhuan coins or other spiritual materials of equivalent value."
Zhou Tieyi has already understood the value of spiritual materials.
There is no need to explain much about other lower-grade spiritual materials. As long as a complete Dragon Seal is condensed, it must be a spiritual material of the fifth grade or above, because the Dragon Seal is the embodiment of a rule of heaven and earth. Even if it is not used for refining pills or weapons, just comprehending it can still be very rewarding.
Among the spiritual materials, one to two dragon seals is a qualitative change, and more than two dragon seals are "scriptures", which can evolve more than ten times the principles of heaven and earth than one dragon seal.
The first time he went to the Southeast Chamber of Commerce, the specialty he obtained was a five-colored stone containing two dragon seals, which could be considered a fourth-grade spiritual material and was used to refine chess pieces for the Five Emperors and Divine Generals.
And with each additional dragon seal, the spiritual material becomes more valuable. Generally speaking, a spiritual material containing more than ten dragon seals can be considered a top-third grade spiritual material.
This thousand-year-old clam pearl was not precious to Zhou Tieyi, so he did not think about exchanging it. Instead, he asked the panda about another thing, "Exchange it with other spiritual materials, is it through the Grand Illusionary Realm?"
The panda smiled and said, "Of course, we trade through the sacrifice method of the Grand Illusionary Realm. We charge two Grand Illusionary Coins each time. We can apply to have the Grand Illusionary Realm verify the authenticity of the items. Over the years, there has never been a mistake. In fact, many mid-quality spiritual materials, elixirs, and weapons are traded by everyone. Only those with a deep family background like Lord Baili will exchange them for Grand Illusionary Coins."
Zhou Tieyi and Yueqin nodded, indicating that they understood.
Sure enough, when they heard that the thousand-year-old clam pearl only needed two hundred Taixuhuan coins, everyone participated enthusiastically, and in the end, one person happily took home three hundred Taixuhuan coins. After that, Zhou Tieyi and Yueqin saw a lot of spiritual materials from all over the world, but they were not of much value to the two of them, and with a cautious attitude, neither of them made a move.
After a round of transactions was almost over, one person suddenly said, "You are new here, and I'm sure you are not used to it yet. Why don't you tell me what you need and what you can provide?"
Zhou Tieyi thought about it and said directly, "I want a divine weapon, whether it is incomplete or complete, and it is not limited to the divine grade."
He was not afraid of exposing his identity, because it was a well-known fact that divine weapons could be used to refine secret treasures, and almost all practitioners could use divine weapons.
Zhou Tieyi opened his mouth loudly. The person who just wanted to test Zhou Tieyi laughed awkwardly, "If there was a divine weapon, it would have been snatched up long ago..."
"I have."
Yueqin suddenly spoke.
Then he ignored everyone and looked at Zhou Tieyi, "I want to trade with you alone first."
Through the Taixu illusory surface, she blocked the perception of people around her, and then manifested a divine artifact in the shape of a dilapidated, corroded shackle in front of Zhou Tieyi.
"This is a divine weapon of a seventh-rank underworld deity, which has the ability to capture souls. However, its owner was implicated in a third-rank war, and the artifact itself was corroded by the power of the underworld, so it is not easy to use."
Even though she is a noble lady, she is not a spendthrift.
Zhou Tieyi judged in his heart that most of the useful artifacts could probably only be obtained from the enemy's corpse, or by spending a huge favor or paying a huge price.
On the contrary, the largest number of these artifacts are those that have been eroded by various other forces and are difficult to use.
Suddenly Zhou Tieyi's eyes lit up. This was actually good news for him who possessed the magical power of [Usurping God]!
He pretended to think for a moment, then said, "What do you want in exchange?"
Yueqin said without thinking, "Do you have Taixuhuan coins?"
She had no shortage of general spiritual materials, but Taixuhuan Coins were in very short supply.
The fantasy coin...
I can make it now, but I don't have the time.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Can I exchange it for a spiritual material?"
After saying that, he materialized a spiritual material containing a complete dragon seal, which was molten mountain red copper.
Yueqin felt a little regretful, but then she thought that her shackles were not easy to use or sell, and now that she had exchanged them for a usable fifth-grade spiritual material, it could be considered as helping to clear out the family's inventory!
"Okay, deal."
Zhou Tieyi said, "Do you have any other artifacts? If so, I want to trade."
The Zhou family is a family of military generals, which is not good news for Zhou Tieyi who collects artifacts.
When checking the Zhou family's inventory, Zhou Tieyi discovered that the Zhou family's collection of artifacts was pitifully small. Only a very small number of extremely precious artifacts were kept by the Zhou family. However, even if Zhou Tieyi wanted to use this kind of artifact of the top three grade, he needed to first obtain Zhou's mother's consent and clearly state the purpose of use.
As for the inferior and broken ones, other families cannot use them, but the Zhou family has the ability to forge weapons, so even if they collect highly polluted artifacts, they will be quickly applied for by the fifth-grade military practitioners in the family for practice.
The Zhou family itself maintains such a large army, so these forged secret treasures will be passed around in their hands and then quickly given away.
For the Zhou family, the army under their command is the combat power. The secret treasures and weapons are for the soldiers to use, not to be stored in inventory.
So the Zhou family seems to be very powerful, but to maintain such strong strength, the expenses are also very high.
However, with my current achievements, I should be able to ask my mother for one or two magical artifacts.
While Zhou Tieyi was thinking, Yueqin did not directly reject Zhou Tieyi's proposal, but said vaguely, "If I get other artifacts, I will let you know."
There were many broken artifacts in her storehouse, but even for her, if she took a little more, she would be quickly questioned about their purpose, and it would be difficult to explain at that time.
At this time, the young masters and young ladies of the two big families were thinking about how to take things out of their own warehouses quietly.
Zhou Tieyi and Yueqin agreed to trade after they left and continued to attend the trade fair.
