According to what Grandpa Gao Yang said, he turned left at the intersection, then reached the first intersection, looked for the north direction, and kept walking.【】
The city is indeed very big. Gao Yang took this opportunity to walk and saw the current layout of Tianshi City. When he arrived in the north of the city, it was almost ten o'clock.
Looking from a distance, Gao Yang could already see a huge sign hanging at the entrance of the market with two big words: Ling Ji.
When he was in the world of cultivation, Gao Yang knew that there was basically such a spiritual collection everywhere, but he didn't expect that it would be used in the New Earth now.
It seems that when cultivation civilization and modern civilization are integrated, they can assimilate and preserve each other.
He strode into the market. There were shops everywhere, similar to a modern antique city. They were one shop after another. There were also many people shopping, including men, women, old and young. They were all in an endless stream and it was very lively.
Gao Yang looked around, stared at a shop, and walked into it.
It turns out that this is an exchange house that specializes in exchanging spirit stones and cash. There are many exchange houses like this on this street, but Gao Yang didn't have time to look around from house to house, so he thought he could just find one with a similar price.
that is.
"Brother, are you here to buy spiritual stones?" A clerk in the shop immediately stepped forward to entertain customers when he saw a customer coming.
"I'm here to sell it."
"Sell?" The clerk seemed a little hesitant: "Brother, our Sun Ji Exchange Shop is very famous in Lingji. We charge high-priced goods at high prices, but we can do whatever we want with low-priced goods. I think you only have a ninth-grade low-level spirit in your hand at most."
Shi, I’ll give you a fixed price of sixty yuan. If you want to exchange it, we’ll inspect the goods now and pay you. If you don’t want to, just go to the next store, okay?”
A ninth-grade elementary spiritual stone is worth sixty yuan. In this way, a seventh-grade intermediate spiritual stone can be exchanged for a huge fortune.
Of course, he has no intention of replacing the seventh-grade spiritual stone. After all, he still has the anaconda spiritual stone that he and Wang Qi killed a few days ago.
He killed the mist beast, and the eighth-grade primary spirit stone was also in his hand.
The money exchanged for these two coins was enough for his temporary expenses.
After Gao Yang calculated in his mind, he smiled at the waiter and said: "Sixty yuan is sixty yuan, but I would like to ask how much can I exchange for a ninth-grade intermediate spiritual stone, and how much can I exchange for a high-level one?"
Sixty yuan was originally a price that the guy deliberately lowered when he saw that Gao Yang was young and ignorant. When Gao Yang agreed, he couldn't help but be very excited, and felt that he had made a fool of himself again.
At this moment, when I heard about the higher-level spiritual stones, I couldn't help but smile: "Brother, do you have ninth-grade intermediate and high-level spiritual stones?"
Gao Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I just want to gain some experience."
It turned out to be a long experience.
The clerk figured that he couldn't deceive him into lowering the price, otherwise if the news spread, others who had high-level spiritual stones would not come to him to redeem them. Anyway, this guy didn't have any, so he simply told the truth.
He immediately said generously: "Brother, to tell you the truth, the higher the level of the spiritual stones we have here, the more valuable they are. If you have a ninth-grade intermediate spiritual stone, one piece will cost at least 500 yuan."
The basic level is sixty, and the intermediate level is actually five hundred.
It seems that the entry-level quotation this guy just gave me was indeed a bit of a scam.
Gao Yang smiled slightly: "What about the advanced ones?"
The clerk held out three fingers: "A fair price, three thousand."
Gao Yang touched his nose and asked again: "You must have received eighth-grade primary spirit stones here, right? Is the price higher?"
"necessary."
Seeing that Gao Yang was a complete layman, the clerk felt a little bit of vanity inexplicably.
He looked back at the old man drinking tea behind the counter window, and suddenly lowered his voice and said: "These eighth-grade spiritual stones are usually appraised by the boss, but every time I am present, the average price is 20,000."
Twenty thousand?
After hearing this, Gao Yang couldn't help but smile.
When the clerk saw this, he wanted to ask him why he was laughing, but he felt that he had talked too much, so he immediately got back to the subject: "Hey, brother, don't you want to redeem your ninth-grade primary spiritual stone? Where is the spiritual stone? Let me inspect it."
.”
After he finished speaking, the old man sitting behind him drinking tea suddenly stood up and walked leisurely out from behind the counter window.
This man was about fifty or sixty years old. He wore a pair of reading glasses, and his eyebrows were streaked with white hair. He was not tall, only about 1.6 meters tall, but he was very thin.
He put his hands behind his back with a leisurely expression. He glanced at Gao Yang and said to the clerk in a cold voice: "You don't need to take the test. I'll do it."
As soon as the clerk saw the old man, he became very polite: "Boss, it's just a ninth-grade elementary spiritual stone, I'll do it."
It turns out that this is the owner of Sun Kee Exchange Bank.
Gao Yang looked at this old man and always felt that he seemed mysterious. His eyes were as deep as ancient wells, making people unable to understand.
The boss snorted: "Who said this little brother wants to exchange for ninth-grade primary spiritual stones?"
"That's what he said."
"Did you say that, little brother?"
Gao Yang Xindao, the boss, is a sophisticated old man. Indeed, he had previously been inducing the clerk to reveal the true price. The clerk thought he was really redeeming the ninth-grade primary spirit stone. How did he know that his real purpose was to redeem it?
Ninth-grade high-level spiritual stones and eighth-grade primary spiritual stones.
At this time, he smiled: "Boss has a keen eye, I have a ninth-grade high-level spiritual stone and an eighth-grade primary spiritual stone here. You can take a look first."
The boss took the two spiritual stones from his hand and looked at them carefully.
The waiter on the side was stunned for a long time. When he came to his senses, he couldn't help but glared at Gao Yang angrily: "Hey, you look honest and simple, how come you are so sophisticated?"
Gao Yang smiled and said nothing, but Boss Sun scolded him: "You are so presumptuous that you even dare to offend customers. Are you trying to destroy my sign?"
The waiter immediately closed his mouth and turned aside with a stern look on his face.
Boss Sun then looked at Gao Yang and smiled calmly: "My little brother actually has ninth-grade high-grade and eighth-grade junior spiritual stones in his hands. It's really not easy. Which boss's son is he?"
Gao Yang shrugged: "Do you think I look like the second generation of rich people?"
Although the clothes he wore were washed clean, they were actually shabbier than most people. No one would think that he was a rich man.
Boss Sun stretched out his hand to smooth a beard under his chin, and waved Gao Yang to take a seat with a smile. Gao Yang was not polite and immediately sat at a table with the old man.
While pouring tea, the old man said to the waiter who was shrugging his head: "Go, go to the back warehouse and withdraw twenty-five thousand yuan, and give it to this brother immediately."
Twenty-five thousand?
The guy still remembers what Gao Yang just said was a ninth-grade high-grade spiritual stone and an eighth-grade junior spiritual stone. According to the average price he knows, one is three thousand and the other is twenty thousand, which is only twenty-three thousand. Why does the boss want to take twenty thousand?
Five.
He couldn't help hesitating: "Boss, are you more prepared?"
The boss rolled his eyes and scolded: "If you still want to remind me, what kind of boss should I be? Stop talking nonsense and get ready."
The clerk was extremely depressed and had no choice but to withdraw the money honestly.
At this time, the boss put down the teapot, sat down opposite Gao Yang, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Little brother, since you are not a rich man, I think you must be a top student at Tianshi Academy."
"Boss, do we need to inquire about the details when doing business in our store?"
"Of course not, I'm just asking casually, hehe, brother, my store clerk also said just now that the normal price of your two spiritual stones is only 23,000, but I will give you 25,000 as an exception, not for anything else.
, I just admire you. If you come here again in the future, the price will definitely be favorable.”
appreciate?
Gao Yang smiled noncommittally. Although he couldn't understand the depth of the boss, he also knew that the boss deliberately lowered the price this time, definitely to attract him as a customer.
After all, it is definitely not ordinary people who can come here to exchange for eighth-grade spiritual stones. If you come here often in the future, you will naturally gain more.
A mere two thousand yuan more will only make less money at most.
However, you still need to get the favor you deserve. He nodded: "Then thank you, boss."
The old man smiled and saw that the clerk had come over with the money. He immediately handed the money to Gao Yang: "No, brother, can you count and see if you have enough?"
There are two and a half piles in total, totaling twenty-five thousand.
Gao Yang glanced at it, and there should be nothing missing. He immediately stuffed it into his pocket: "Goodbye, boss."
The boss personally walked to the door and said: "Brother, please come slowly. You are welcome to come again."
Gao Yang waved his hand and stepped away.
The boss turned around and walked back to the store. The waiter, holding back his anger, immediately said: "Boss, that little monkey spirit has been playing tricks on me since the moment he walked in. Why are you still so polite to him?"
"Did you know that even if he has ten of you, he can turn you into a pile of loess in the blink of an eye!"
"Is he that powerful?"
The boss stretched for a long time, clasped his hands behind his back, and said meaningfully: "He is far more powerful than you think. Come back again in the future and treat him as a distinguished guest. Do you understand?"
Although the clerk found it unbelievable, he also knew that the boss was well-informed and kept his secrets secret.
If he said that, then Gao Yang must be a real master, so he immediately nodded: "I understand, boss, don't worry."
At this time, Gao Yang had already walked into the depths of Lingji with the money. There were stalls and shops everywhere, making it dazzling to see. However, Gao Yang still spotted a sign with his sharp eyes: Lu's Lingcao Shop.
This shop was very luxuriously decorated. As soon as Gao Yang entered, he could see that the ostentation was quite grand.
When I think of the Lu family, most of them are related to Lu Qingfang's family.
But there was no need to worry about meeting Lu Qingfang, so Gao Yang walked in immediately. It was quite lively inside, with many people buying various spiritual herbs.
Gao Yang knew that people who needed spiritual herbs mostly wanted to refine elixirs.
These people either specialize in medicine or specialize in medicine.
Coincidentally, just as he was looking around in the spiritual herb shop, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of him. This person turned out to be Xu Qiang.【】
