"High price! What price can you offer?" Chen Li asked.
"If they are all of this quality, our Baofu Pavilion can produce 460 low-grade spiritual stones!" The shopkeeper pondered for a while and said: "The price of water elemental talismans is stable. No matter which talisman shop we go to, 5 medium-grade spiritual stones are almost always available.
It’s a fixed price, and other stores can only charge this price at most, otherwise there will be no profit.”
“The price is quite reasonable!”
Chen Li said as he took out five stacks of water element charms from his storage bag and placed them one by one on the counter.
"Hiss, so many!?"
The shopkeeper couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.
"Inventory accumulated in recent years!" Chen Li replied, then remained silent.
The shopkeeper was so interested that he stopped asking any more questions and began to carefully identify them. From time to time he frowned and picked out one piece and put it aside. Gradually, the five stacks of talismans were divided into three distinct groups.
Chen Lixindao is indeed an expert. The group on the left is the first batch he painted. They are rough in quality and contain chaotic spiritual power. They belong to the entry-level level of Shuiyuan Talisman.
The middle group basically belongs to the proficient level, and most of the products from the stores are generally at this level.
As for the far right, it is a high-quality product that belongs to the proficiency level.
Five hundred tickets was not a small amount, so Chen Li simply sat aside, sipping the fragrant tea offered by Zhike, and waiting patiently.
After waiting for half an hour, the shopkeeper finished the appraisal. He exhaled and pushed the batch of inferior products in front of Chen Li:
"The quality of your talismans is somewhat uneven. The quality of these 42 pieces is somewhat defective and we will not accept them. The 163 pieces in the middle are ordinary goods. Our store can only sell 410 low-grade spiritual stones.
As for the rest, we will collect the 460 as previously agreed. I wonder what your friendship is like?"
The price was beyond Chen Li's psychological price, but he still bargained symbolically.
In the end, I got the proficiency level batch to 415, which is better than nothing.
The transaction was completed quickly.
A total of 19 high-grade spiritual stones and 55 medium-grade spiritual stones were sold.
Low-grade spiritual stones are ignored.
Chen Li put away the spirit stones and quickly walked out the door.
"Just make some hard-earned money." Thinking of the shield talisman that he saw in the store before, which was as high as one high-grade spiritual stone, Chen Li couldn't help but sigh in his heart, that was the real huge profit.
Shield Talisman: Level 2 and Level 7 Talisman.
The key is that the method of making such high-level talismans is not even available in Jindan sects such as Huanzhen Sect, and it is not available on the market at all. It is obviously highly monopolized by those big forces.
Knowledge is wealth, and this is clearly reflected in this world.
"There are still forty-two water talismans. It's useless to keep them with you. You might as well go to a stall and sell them."
Chen Li thought this way and walked out of the city.
In order not to affect the business of shops in the city, Stanley City has very strict regulations on setting up stalls, so many casual traders spontaneously formed trading markets around Stanley City.
Chen Li has never been there once. Dragons and snakes are mixed there, and there are many powerful people. If you don't pay attention, you will be targeted.
Who would hang out there if nothing happens!
On the way, he changed his appearance again.
We left the city soon.
It was already the dead of winter, and it was like spring all year round in the city, so I didn’t feel anything yet.
But as soon as we arrived outside the city, we immediately felt the chill of winter. The whole land was covered with snow and covered with silver.
The Exchange Market is located in a mountain valley dozens of miles away from Stanley City.
It's not big, only a dozen or twenty acres.
A formation is arranged above.
According to Chen Li's observation using the Qi-gazing Technique, this was at least a third-level low-grade formation.
It's obviously organized here.
And to be able to open such a trading market near Stanley City and acquiesce in it, the person behind it obviously has a lot of background.
But this also means it is safer and has a strong guard force.
Chen Li flew down from a distance, paid the entrance fee for a low-grade spiritual stone, and followed the crowd in.
There are people everywhere inside.
Bustling and noisy.
The first-order things here are just common, and the second-order things are not uncommon at all.
Chen Li even saw a group of five people displaying more than a dozen second-level magic weapons and selling them openly.
He walked around and saw several people selling water talismans. He stepped forward and asked about the price, and immediately understood the market here.
Each card contains basically four medium-grade spiritual stones.
It's a bit lower than the purchase price of a store.
It is conceivable that the quality of these talismans sold at stalls is poor, and they are basically entry-level talismans.
At this time, he saw a stall about to leave and quickly stepped forward to stop the qi-training monk.
After some simple communication.
The other party was very polite and left him the animal skins and benches used to set up the stall.
Then he picked up another wooden board, condensed Qi into a gang with his fingers, and wrote the price on the wooden board, then took out all the water element charms and put them on the table.
Chen Li was quite interested at first.
But after more than an hour of displaying, only three were sold.
Chen Li became a little impatient.
Why do I have to suffer here? If I have the time, I can make money by sitting in the talisman-making room and drawing a few water talismans.
Just as he was about to close the stall and sell these talismans to other stall owners at low prices, he suddenly heard a familiar voice:
"Fellow Taoist, can your Water Element Talisman be made cheaper?"
Chen Li looked up.
Xiao Yuan!?
Although the other person's appearance has changed, his skin has become much darker, and he has a unshaven beard, people who are familiar with him can still recognize him at a glance.
We haven’t seen each other for just half a year.
The other party has a bit more slickness and lacks the fairy spirit of the past.
"You're a Taoist, what are you asking me?" Xiao Yuan saw that the other party was a little stunned, and suddenly said a little dissatisfied.
"Oh, you mean cheaper, right? I'm planning to close the stall, what price do you want?" Chen Li came back to his senses and asked.
"As much as I say? Are those three middle-grade spiritual stones for sale?" Xiao Yuan rolled his eyes when he heard this and asked.
"Okay." Chen Li said.
"Really selling it?" Xiao Yuan said.
“Really selling!”
"If I want ten pieces, can I sell them too?"
"……Sell!"
"Then I bought all the rest." Xiao Yuan's eyes widened with a cunning look.
"This..." Chen Li suddenly felt helpless.
It's not a question of more money or less.
He was originally planning to sell it to other stall owners at a low price.
It's really... this is a bit embarrassing!
"Why, you were so loud just now, and now you can't bear to leave?" Xiao Yuan saw Chen Li's hesitation and said deliberately.
"Oh, take it away, take it all away." Chen Li sighed.
Fellow Daoist Xiao, this is a downfall.
After completing the transaction.
Chen Li watched Xiao Yuan go to other stalls, then stood up and found a remote place, quickly changed his robes and boots, and at the same time restored his original appearance, then pretended to be strolling and walked towards Xiao Yuan.
.
Xiao Yuan was surprised and hesitant at first when he saw Chen Li, and then he was surprised and excited:
"Fellow Daoist Chen, it's really you. That's great. I thought I was wrong, but I didn't expect you to survive."
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, I didn't expect to see you here. When did you come?" In contrast, Chen Li was much calmer.
After all, we had met him before, and the joy of meeting an old friend in a foreign country was diluted by the previous embarrassment.
"I came here half a year ago... This is not the place to talk. Come, follow me to where I live. You must have a good drink today. You don't know that besides you and me, there are many classmates who have come to Stanley."
