Ning Cheng patted Taishu Shi's shoulder again, "Shitou, you really should visit my hometown. Learn how those profiteers operate capital. What you keep in your hands is the lowest value. High value things.
, must be given away in order to reflect the true value, and then take the reflected value back to drive your own interests.
You said that this neon grass, when we put it on us, it is just a grass at best, and it occupies a space, but when we take it out, it is different. It can immediately become what we need most. This is the operation of capital.
.Well, to put it simply, even fruit sellers know how to sell the good fruits and keep the bad ones to eat. Are they stupid? No, this is to maximize profits.",
Ning Cheng fooled around for a long time and suddenly thought that there was a more precious soul-nurturing wood in his storage bag. He immediately blushed and couldn't say any more.
Taishu Shi seemed to have forgotten the neon grass in his hand and subconsciously asked, "Do people in Pingzhou know how to do business?"
"My hometown is not Pingzhou. It's a long story. Let's talk about it later." Ning Cheng didn't want to discuss this issue.
"Okay." Taishu Shi's attention returned to the neon grass in his hand again, and the expression on his face immediately became excited, "Brother, this neon grass can definitely be sold for more than 10,000 spirit stones. It's a pity, here
It’s Yuan Continent. If it’s in the mid-level continent, you can even sell it for 10,000 mid-level spiritual stones.”
"How many low-grade spiritual stones need to be exchanged for a medium-grade spiritual stone?" Ning Cheng knew that there are high-grade, medium-grade and low-grade spiritual stones, but he did not know the exchange ratio among them.
Taishu Shi was much more proficient in these matters than Ning Cheng, and immediately replied, "One high-grade spiritual stone can be exchanged for ten middle-grade spiritual stones, and one medium-grade spiritual stone can be exchanged for ten low-grade spiritual stones. But there is another one."
Spirit stones are called top-grade spirit stones. They are extremely precious. In theory, one top-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for one hundred top-grade spirit stones. In fact, no one has ever exchanged top-grade spirit stones for top-grade spirit stones. Let alone one hundred.
No one is willing to exchange it for one thousand."
Before Ning Cheng could answer, a lean man in black rushed out from the Xijia auction house. As soon as he came out, he stared at the jade box in Taishu Shi's hand and said quickly, "Is there neon grass in your box?"
?”
The way he spoke made him almost want to snatch her away.
Taishu Shi put away the neon grass, clasped his fists and said, "Yes, we are here to send the neon grass for auction. I wonder if we can catch up with the auction tomorrow night?"
"Yes, yes, if you can catch up, please come in quickly." The lean old man in black said eagerly. His eyes didn't even look at Ning Cheng and Taishu Shi, but only stared at the people behind Taishu Shi.
pack.
…
After burning the incense, Ning Cheng and Taishu Shi walked out of the Xijia auction house. Taishu Shi's eyes were filled with excitement, but also a little worried. They just put forward a condition that the neon grass must be at tomorrow's auction.
Release it. But the auctioneer's commission also made Ning Cheng's heart twitch. It was also 50% that he had never seen before. This meant half and half. It was really too dark.
As for Taishu Shi's worry, Ning Cheng also understood that he was worried that the neon grass would be lost at the auction. In fact, Ning Cheng had this worry before. In this place, it is too normal to take something by force. It is like
Even though they knew that the auction would be a scam, they still had to agree that without strength, they would have no right to dialogue.
But now that the neon grass has been sent for auction, and the score is 50/50, he is relieved. If this thing is still in their hands and the news leaks, that would be a bad thing. Now that the thing is not in their hands, there is no need to worry. Xi
The Jia Auction House looks pretty big, so it's unlikely that it would do such a thing to ruin its reputation just for a mere fourth-level spiritual grass.
"You don't have to worry. If the neon grass is not on us, it will be fine. What you have to consider is how to get a Mingdilan plant, and then find someone to refine the elixir." What Ning Cheng is worried about most is how to get it.
Get the Ningzhen Pill, and then advance to the Ningzhen Realm.
Taishu Shi felt much relieved after hearing Ning Cheng's words, "You can get Mingdi Blue at the auction. As long as we participate in various auctions in Xijia City, we can definitely get Mingdi Blue. Even if it is
If you can't get it, you can finally buy it from Master Sangda at a high price."
"Sangda Alchemist?" Ning Cheng repeated the name.
Taishu Shi nodded and said, "Yes, that's Alchemist Sangda. Master Sangda is one of the only two third-level alchemy masters in Xijia City. He has a first-class reputation, no matter how precious you are.
As long as he can be given a satisfactory price for spiritual herbs, he will also help refine them, and he will never reveal what kind of elixir a customer is refining. Everything he earns is kept in the open, and he will never take it by force.
"
When Ning Cheng heard that there was such a guy, he said with great satisfaction, "That's not bad. Once we get Ming Dilan, we will go find this Alchemist Sangda."
Taishu Shi sighed and said, "This Sangda alchemist is good at everything, but his asking price is too dark, even darker than the Xijia auction. If he is asked to make alchemy, as long as he likes the pill, he will charge six
In order to make the elixir, we also need to collect spiritual stones."
Sixty percent of the elixir, but you still have to pay for spiritual stones? Ning Cheng thought to himself, how can this be a dark heart? This heart is just like coal. He is really capable in the alchemy business.
…
"After you redeem Lian'e, are you planning to take her to practice with you? Will you take her with you when you go to Huazhou in the future?" Ning Cheng asked Taishu Shi cautiously in a private room in Xijia City.
.
He didn't know what Lian'e's cultivation level was. If it was better in Xijia City, if he wanted to go to Huazhou in the future, if Lian'e's cultivation level was too bad, then he would have to consider other things when going to Huazhou.
Taishu Shi shook his head and said, "I have no intention of taking her to Huazhou, and I have no intention of marrying her. I am a descendant of Taishu's family, or one day I will perish on the way to Lezhou. I want to go
My journey has already shown that my life is never stable, and it is not appropriate to take her with me."
Ning Cheng did not ask about this matter again. The two then began to discuss how to advance to Ningzhen after obtaining the Ningzhen Pill and then go to Huazhou. Later, they exchanged their cultivation experiences with each other. At the beginning, Ning Cheng still had some questions that he did not understand and needed to ask.
Taishu Shi, Taishu Shi was the only one to ask Ning Cheng at the back.
The night passed as the two of them discussed each other. Not only did Ning Cheng and Taishu Shi not feel tired, they were also in high spirits. They knew they were going to an auction today, and they were even more eager to know how many spiritual stones Niguangcao could sell.
.
…
Ning Cheng had never been to an auction, he had seen it on TV. When he and Taishu Shi entered the Xijiacheng auction house, they were immediately shocked by the luxurious aura.
The auction house was surrounded by large lamps carved from pure white jade. The auction halls were filled with rows of small boxes. Outside each box stood a beautiful female nun. Ning Cheng’s first feeling was that on earth,
The auctions can never be compared to this kind of auction.
Taishu Shi said in a low voice, "The auctions usually held in Xijia City are all small, and there are no such private rooms, nor so many female nuns. It seems that this time the auction was specially raised because of the neon grass.
It’s a good level.”
Ning Cheng and Taishu Shi came earlier. When they arrived, the door to the small private room was already closed. Apparently someone came earlier than them.
Another half an hour later, the main light of the auction stage suddenly turned on, and a middle-aged man walked onto the auction stage. He first hugged his fists and then said, "Today's auction was originally a small conventional auction.
, because of the two precious items that arrived yesterday, we decided to raise the level of this auction. Fortunately, a large-scale auction will be held at the end of this month, and there will be many distinguished guests from Xijia City.
Without further ado, let’s start with today’s first auction item. This is an extremely precious second-level spiritual grass called Ming Di Lan. Friends who come here must be familiar with the value of Ming Di Lan. This is a refined
One of the main spiritual herbs of the Ningzhen Pill. The base price is thirty low-grade spiritual stones. Okay, let’s start bidding now.”
"Fifty……"
"sixty……"
As soon as Ming Di Blue came out, it immediately aroused numerous quotations. The quotations continued until the interest time was counted and the price had already risen to one hundred spiritual stones.
Taishu Shi said to Ning Cheng with excitement, "I have accumulated one hundred and fifty spirit stones. Do you still have any spirit stones with you? We must get this Ming Di Lan. We are so lucky. I didn't expect it."
The first item is Ming Di Blue."
Ning Cheng raised his hand to stop Taishu Shi, "Shitou, I don't think we can have this Mingdi Lan. If the neon grass can be sold at a price, we would rather spend more spiritual stones to find Master Sangda to buy this thing."
"Why?" After Taishu Shi asked, he immediately reacted and said, "Brother, you are too careful. Ming Dilan is often sold, so there will be no problem."
Ning Cheng smiled and said, "Shitou, since we have a safe choice, why not choose a safe method? Ming Di Lan is not valuable, but Ning Zhen Dan is valuable. Those who want Ming Di Lan must also have Golden Cicada Fruit, I
I think it’s better to be careful.”
"Not necessarily. Some people buy Ming Dilan just because they want to collect the spiritual grass for refining the Ningzhen Pill like me. I don't have the Golden Cicada Fruit." Taishu Shi disagreed.
Ning Cheng shook his head and said, "The price of Ming Di Lan has already reached 200 spirit stones. There is no Golden Cicada Fruit. I don't believe that I spend 200 spirit stones to buy Ming Di Lan alone. Others may not be afraid, but we don't have the ability."
Only then did Taishu Shi notice that the price of Ming Dilan had reached two hundred and ten spirit stones. This price was rarely seen. He nodded, "Brother, maybe what you said is true. Such a high price.
It’s really not safe to buy it back.”
In the end, Ming Dilan was bought by one of the boxes for two hundred and twenty low-grade spiritual stones.
The monk in charge on the auction stage saw that the first auction item sold for a high price, and his tone of voice was even more high-spirited, "Congratulations to my friend just now for purchasing Ming Di Blue as he wished. What we are going to auction now is a very good item.
.Even my Xijia auction house rarely comes across this kind of exquisite product. This is a top-quality gun-type magic weapon, the Seven-Star Alchemy Gun..."
Taishu Shi saw the beautiful golden spear in the hands of the monk in charge, and said quickly, "Brother, I see that you are also using a spear-type magic weapon, and the level seems to be average, so why not buy this spear."
