Meng Zhou thought for a while and said, "If there is a robe of suitable quality, I would like to buy one, but it's a pity."

Having said this, Meng Zhou shook his head gently.

Although he really doesn't like these auction items, with his ability, a third-level mid-level magic weapon can be "kneaded" by hand as long as he has the materials.

The only thing that limits his performance is the lack of third-level high-grade spiritual materials.

Based on Jingyun's attitude towards him, Meng Zhou felt that if he made a request to purchase some high-quality spiritual materials at this time, he would most likely be able to do it.

But he was not willing to let the other party have more suspicions.

After listening to Meng Zhou's words, Jing Yun suddenly nodded and said to Meng Zhou:

"That's a coincidence. I happen to have one, which is of third-level mid-grade quality. If you don't mind it, fellow Taoist, you can take a look at it after the auction ends."

"Okay." Meng Zhou nodded.

As early as when Jing Yun was waiting outside the gate of the trade fair and showed far more enthusiasm for him than the last time, Meng Zhou used a variety of methods to carefully sense him and confirmed that Jing Yun had no ill intentions and just wanted to spend more time with him.

If you make friends, he won't mind telling the other person a false story.

After that, the middle-aged man auctioned many items, including elixirs and formation flags and talismans. The lowest quality items were second-level top-quality items, while the others were all third-level mid- to low-level items.

Meng Zhou also discovered something, that is, all the auction items are finished products and have no raw materials.

The behavior of the middle-aged man who presided over the auction was also different from that of Hexinlou. He did not pursue maximizing the value of a certain item.

On the contrary, if he realizes that some bids exceed the value of the item by too much, or even the bidders gradually have ulterior motives, he will instead issue a reminder or even a warning, and the process of an auction is also very fast.

It didn't take long, but hundreds of lots had already flowed out of his hands.

Cao Lie, Song Yang and others all also gained something.

After this auction, everyone also had a vague understanding of the personal financial resources of Qingxuan Sect disciples.

Compared to the extremely wealthy Qingxuan Sect, the disciples of the Qingxuan Sect are not very wealthy.

Even those pill-forming monks of Qingxuan Sect would weigh carefully when faced with an auction that requires hundreds or even thousands of high-grade spiritual stones.

This shows that this amount of spiritual stones is not a small amount for them.

This discovery made Cao Lie and others feel inexplicably more balanced. Regardless of other aspects, as the topmost existence of a force, they had many more spirit stones at their disposal than the Qingxuan Sect's core-forming pills at the same level.

Of course, this comparison is actually a bit unfair.

The spiritual stones they can control and the spiritual stones that belong to them are not actually the same concept.

The former are common resources belonging to the entire force. However, as the top core of a force, they can allocate these "common resources" to serve themselves when necessary.

For example, they are now spending a lot of money to buy third-level magic weapons. It can be said that it is for themselves, but it can also be said that it is to improve the foundation of the entire force. The same is true - they are stronger, doesn't it also mean that the entire force is stronger, so,

It is also reasonable to allocate collective resources.

But these Qingxuan Sect-formed pills that are competing with them, unless they are the five elders of Qingxuan Sect, or the leader of Qingxuan Sect, who is qualified to represent Qingxuan Sect as a collective? They can only represent themselves personally.

Therefore, it is inappropriate to compare the two together.

For this reason, almost everyone including Cao Lie, Song Yang, Chairman Pan and others bought two or three favorite items.

With their financial resources and the overdraft limit of up to 5,000 high-grade spiritual stones, they can definitely buy more, but everyone is very discerning and accept it when it is good, and enough is enough.

When the middle-aged man announced that the auction was over, the originally relatively orderly and quiet atmosphere quickly became lively and everyone began to move around freely.

Cao Lie, Song Yang and others did not remain "reserved". Instead, they took the initiative to "attack" and started talking with those Qingxuan Sect-formed pills.

Jingyun also took out a blue robe and handed it to Meng Zhou to look at.

Meng Zhou didn't do it perfunctorily, but looked at it very carefully. After a long time, he praised:

"Yes, it's a good robe, it has all the functions... I want this robe. How many spiritual stones do you think is suitable, fellow Taoist Jingyun?"

Jing Yun did not give an answer. Instead, he smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Ge, just give it to me."

If the Jade Blood Army talked to him like this, Meng Zhou would have glared back, but now he thought about it seriously and said:

"I don't know much about the prices of third-level items. Let's just refer to the price of the first mid-level flying sword that was auctioned just now."

As he spoke, a spiritual stone bag appeared in his hand and he handed it to Jing Yun. It contained one thousand, two hundred high-grade spiritual stones.

Jing Yun didn't answer.

Meng Zhou looked at him doubtfully.

Jing Yun shook his head and said: "Fellow Daoist Ge, I have used this robe for half a year. Do you know why I left it idle?"

"Why?" Meng Zhou looked at him with confusion.

"It's because it has so many functions."

Jingyun sighed:

"When I first became an alchemist, I was greedy for more and wanted to customize a fully functional robe. It took a lot of favors to get the Alchemy Palace to take over the order.

When I first got this robe, I liked it very much and played with it for a while.

This robe not only contains the abilities of breath concentration, disguise, camouflage, invisibility, defense, and flight.

There is also a lightning talisman array attached to the left sleeve, a fire talisman array attached to the right sleeve, and a small moving talisman array attached to the chest.

I stuffed almost everything I could into it, reaching the limit that a third-level mid-grade robe could bear.

But after playing for half a year, I discovered that this robe is good for fun, bullying small ones, and competing in the same realm. However, if we really encounter a fatal crisis, this will become a hindrance.

From this, I came to the realization that the purer the robe, the better.”

Jing Yun is simply a genius in reverse business, completely exposing the shortcomings of his own robe.

Then, he shook his head and said: "So, twelve hundred high-grade spiritual stones are not suitable."

Finally, he said that if "Fellow Daoist Ge" really wanted it, he could just give him five hundred high-grade spiritual stones.

But Meng Zhou insisted and even stated that I don't need to consider the "fatal crisis" you Jingyun calls at all.

It's a very simple truth. If it's a fatal crisis for you, the true successor of Qingxuan Sect, it must not be something you can handle just by having a "fine and specialized" middle-grade robe.

For a casual cultivator like me, what I need is this kind of "multi-function".

"We are different."

"..." Jing Yun was speechless and found that what the other party said made sense.

The principles that apply to Qingxuanzong's elixir formation are not applicable to casual practitioners like "Ge Daoyou" who form elixirs.

In this way, the two parties came and went, and you were humble and I gave in. After the two parties reached a deal with 800 high-grade spiritual stones, the trade fair has also come to an end.

After other people bargained with each other, they usually ended up blushing, but the situation between them was just the opposite. The more they bargained, the closer they became. Jing Yun had even begun to call Meng Zhou a brother-in-law.

After chatting with Jingyun until the trade fair was over, Meng Zhou, Cao Lie, Song Yang and others left Xiaoxuan Peak and returned to Linya Cave Mansion where they were staying.

Although it is only noon now and there is still a lot of time, everyone has gained a lot from this trade fair. The treasures they bought for a lot of money want to be refined and tried as soon as possible, so everyone did not mention the afternoon.

Travel planning.

Meng Zhou refined the middle-grade robe with eight hundred high-grade spiritual stones and put it on himself.

After appraising the robe, Meng Zhou praised it as a "good robe", which was true.

And long before Jing Yun took the initiative to confess, he had an insight into its shortcomings.

Jing Yun thought that its shortcoming was the "full functionality" itself, but Meng Zhou knew that the problem was not that the robe had too many functions, but that the craftsman who could only make mid-grade robes could not use this "multi-function"

Perfectly blended together.

Moreover, there are too many talisman formations in this robe. Looking at the technique, you can tell that the person who made the robe and the person who drew the talisman formations were not the same person, but were completed by two people. This further amplified the problem.

Kind of unnatural.

This makes the conversion between different functions less smooth, and if it encounters strong external interference, for example, when being attacked by fire, there may even be a "stuck" phenomenon where the connection is not timely.

This is also the reason why this robe will actually become an obstacle when Jing Yun said "encountering fatal danger".

None of this is a problem for Meng Zhou, and it can be solved easily.

But he didn't do this and allowed these flaws to remain on this robe.

He spent 800 high-quality spiritual stones to buy this robe. Is this the robe he wanted?

What he wants is a "reasonable" one.

With Jie Dan as the watershed, Meng Zhou's speed of accumulating wealth experienced an exaggerated qualitative change.

Before forming the elixir, the total number of high-grade spiritual stones in Meng Zhou's hands was only about 4,000. This was the balance he had accumulated after nearly ten years of practice.

After forming the elixir, he received several high medical fees in a row, plus the disposal of the Lihen Sect's trophies and the realization of celebration gifts. In just over two years, the number of high-grade spiritual stones he earned exceeded 16,000 points, which is approaching infinitely.

The 20,000 mark. (Note: The specific number is 19,579)

For him, it was "reasonable" to buy it with 800 high-grade spiritual stones, without any burden.

After putting on the simple sacrificial robe, Meng Zhou did not go out to wander around, but stayed in the quiet room to practice the "Unbounded Sword Domain".

Towards the end of the afternoon, Meng Zhou received frequent summonses from President Pan, Cao Lie, Song Yang and others.

After unanimous discussion, everyone decided that starting from tomorrow, everyone will not act collectively and can move freely.
To be continued...
