Chapter 151: Someone Actually Bought It?
Who asked you for money?
Song Jiulai was silent for three seconds: “I’m asking you what this Magic Treasure is.”
The Male Cultivator said: “Oh, it can summon three Spirit Bees with cultivation at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage to help you fight, but you already know its drawback.”
Spirit Bee is a euphemism; to put it bluntly, they are bees.
There is a type of Spirit Beast called a Spirit Bee.
But the ones summoned are definitely different from ordinary Spirit Bees.
“Ah?”
Song Jiulai couldn’t say it, but at that moment, she was indeed a little tempted.
Three at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage—never mind if they are bees; as long as they are at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, even if it’s a pile of dung, it has that combat power.
No wonder fifty Mid-grade Spirit Stones are so expensive.
If this were permanent, it would be the sky-high price of High-grade Spirit Stones.
Besides, summon-based strategies work well against anything, so it wouldn’t be sold at a stall here.
Song Jiulai clasped her hands behind her back, not directly saying she wanted to buy, but merely asked: “This is the first time I’ve seen a disposable Magic Treasure; how did you refine it?”
The cultivator’s expression instantly turned constipated: “That’s someone else’s secret, but this price is reasonable. My material costs alone are this much, so I can’t accept anything lower.”
Song Jiulai could tell from his expression: “Your Artifact Refining went astray, didn’t it?”
There must have been a wrong path for him to refine such a disposable Magic Treasure.
The other party’s expression looked unfriendly, so Song Jiulai didn’t press further, only saying: “This is a disposable one; I can’t even test it, so I don’t dare to believe it.”
A disposable Magic Treasure is gone after one use, and it can’t be demonstrated on the spot to prove its authenticity.
The Male Cultivator thought for a moment and felt it was a valid point: “It seems so.”
Clearly, he hadn’t considered this issue at all.
Song Jiulai said: “Let’s sign an agreement. I can buy it, but if the summoned ones are not at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, you’ll have to compensate me.”
A look of surprise flashed in the Male Cultivator’s eyes; he clearly hadn’t expected Song Jiulai to actually want to buy it: “You’re really buying it?”
Song Jiulai: “I haven’t seen it before; I’ll try it out.”
Male Cultivator: “…”
He looked at Song Jiulai with an indescribable gaze, likely thinking her tone was too casual.
He thought she was a Disciple from some Major Sect, spending money so lavishly.
Buying a Sucker’s Magic Treasure for fifty Mid-grade Spirit Stones just like that.
“We can sign it.”
The other party’s attitude was natural. Agreements on the Yunzhou Continent are a form of covenant between cultivators, establishing a Contractual relationship.
Violating a contract results in backlash, so no cultivator dares to joke about it.
The fact that he dared to sign meant he was confident about this Magic Treasure.
After all, it was something he refined himself.
The System was also a bit surprised that the stingy Song Jiulai was so generous with this Magic Treasure: “A disposable Magic Treasure, are you really being a Sucker?”
Song Jiulai: “You don’t understand!”
Signing a contract doesn’t require both parties’ names; one only needs to write the contract in the air with Spiritual Energy and drip a drop of blood into it.
The contract will then automatically disappear.
This is somewhat like being certified by the Heavenly Dao, eliminating the need for extra hassle.
The one Song Jiulai bought was the most expensive disposable Magic Treasure on the stall.
The others ranged from thirty to forty Mid-grade Spirit Stones.
This price could already buy a very good Profound Grade Magic Treasure; not many people would waste money on it and be a Sucker.
The Male Cultivator had only sold this one item to Song Jiulai, the Sucker, all day, and his expression and attitude improved significantly.
After selling it, he felt that perhaps the business deal was a bit inappropriate, so he said: “I’ll also give you a few Spirit Ores.”
Song Jiulai: “Alright, alright, then I won’t be polite.”
After finishing her purchases and leaving, Song Jiulai said: “This person is a genius.”
System: “Oh? You can analyze things I don’t know?”
Song Jiulai rolled her eyes: “The important thing isn’t whether the thing he refined is a disposable Magic Treasure, but that he refined something that transcends his cultivation level. His cultivation is only at the Early Foundation Establishment Stage, right?”
She had casually sensed with her Sea of Consciousness that this cultivator was at the Early Foundation Establishment Stage.
Unless the other party also used a Magic Treasure to conceal their cultivation.
But in this kind of Black Market, the probability of Big Shots appearing is low; it’s most likely an Early Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.
Moreover, being able to refine so many disposable Magic Treasures, Song Jiulai analyzed, holding half her nose: “Hmm, he can use so many Artifact Refining materials, and even continue refining after producing a pile of scrap, which means he’s not short on money. A typical Early Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator isn’t this wealthy, and he doesn’t look like a combat-oriented type. He was quite reserved at first, and then became embarrassed after selling the item, indicating he’s actually quite thin-skinned and likely hasn’t dealt with these things before.”
“An Early Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator who is so naive and rich, with not very high cultivation, and not considered a Prodigy. In conclusion, he’s likely a relative of an Elder from a Major Sect, or perhaps the Sect Master’s.”
The System gasped: “Oh my heavens, I didn’t expect that during your time on the Yunzhou Continent, not only has your cultivation increased, but your discernment has become so sharp? What if your analysis is wrong?”
Song Jiulai shrugged: “Then my analysis is wrong. I haven’t suffered any loss, have I?”
System: “But what does all this analysis have to do with you buying this item and being a Sucker?”
“It does!” Song Jiulai said: “I’m not buying it for nothing. This thing can give me an unexpected advantage in a Secret Realm. Summoning three Spirit Bees at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, while I’m only at the Early Foundation Establishment Stage! I’ll keep it as a precaution!”
System: “…I still think it’s a loss.”
“Mainly, I find his Artifact Refining quite interesting,” Song Jiulai said. “The Yunzhou Continent believes heavily in fate and Karma. Perhaps we’ll encounter something, and if nothing happens, I won’t have suffered any loss.”
After Song Jiulai finished speaking, she went to other places in Liuxian City to purchase Pills.
Meanwhile, the cultivator who sold her the Magic Treasure sat there all day. Apart from the disposable Magic Treasure that summoned Spirit Bees, nothing else garnered any attention.
Even when someone glanced at it and heard him resolutely refuse to lower the price, they would mockingly sneer: “Do you really think there’s a fool who’ll buy it?”
Song Jiulai sneezed.
The Male Cultivator didn’t care.
After leaving the Black Market, he appeared in a certain Place, wiped his face, and transformed back into a delicate and beautiful, childlike girl’s face.
She didn’t look very old.
She walked into a shop. The shop, which looked unremarkable from the outside, turned out to be a hidden treasure trove inside, a pagoda-like architectural style.
Numerous Magic Treasures of various kinds floated in the air, as dense as a modern library.
They ranged in grade from Profound Grade to Earth Grade, and even Heaven-grade.
Seeing her return, a Little Maid happily walked over: “Miss, how was your business today?”
The person addressed as Miss was very excited: “The Spirit Bee Basket sold! I knew it, my disposable Magic Treasures aren’t without appreciation.”
The Little Maid’s smile froze, instantly turning into shock.
“Ah, there really was a fool who bought it?”
Updates will be at midnight from now on.
