The last stop was the Red Maple Auction House. Lin Ming had no hope. Sure enough, the beautiful deacon of the auction house declined him.
However, this beautiful deacon seemed to feel that it was not easy for Lin Ming. She gave Lin Ming two suggestions. One was to go to the Inscription Art Association to see if they were interested in buying it for collection and teaching purposes. Apprentice-level inscription talismans were
Few, because their success rate is too low, and four identical scrolls are even rarer; another suggestion is to go to the market and sell these scrolls at low prices.
Lin Ming did not go to the Inscription Masters Guild. First of all, he was not qualified to meet a real inscription master. Secondly, even an inscription master would have a hard time seeing the mystery in Lin Ming's inscription talisman, because the inscription technique of Tianyun Kingdom was different from the inscription technique of God's Domain.
The difference is huge.
As for taking the Inscription Master's Guild qualification exam, Lin Ming rejected it because the Inscription Master examination requires bringing your own treasures and inscription materials, which is also impossible for Lin Ming.
As a result, Lin Ming could only give up these high-end trading places and put the inscription symbols into low-level trading places, that is, the market.
This is also a helpless move. Lin Ming's scroll will be traded in the market as an apprentice's inscription talisman. In this way, there is no need to expect to sell it at a high price.
Although the market is low-end, there are also officially established trading centers where various commodities can be consigned. Of course, the trading centers charge a commission of 5%, but the official trading centers have a good reputation and are not afraid of being cheated, so many people choose to go here.
Consignment.
Lin Ming came to Fangshi's trading center and took a quick look. He saw a dazzling array of products, but few of these products were worth more than one hundred taels of gold.
The entry threshold of the trading center is very low. As long as the goods are genuine, they can be sold on consignment. Lin Ming's inscription talisman is naturally genuine. No one denies this. It is just an apprentice's inscription talisman, so its value is low.
After some appraisals by the appraisers at the trading center, the fat shopkeeper offered Lin Ming a base price of one hundred taels of gold.
Hearing this number, Lin Ming was speechless. Your sister is just good enough!
The material price of a powerful talisman is seventy or eighty taels of gold. The price given by the trading center is one hundred taels. If all four inscription talismans are sold for one hundred taels of gold, Lin Ming will have to spend more than four hundred taels!
"Are you selling it or not?" the fat shopkeeper asked impatiently. It is difficult to find a market for this kind of apprentice inscription talisman. People who can spend thousands of taels of gold to buy a treasure would naturally rather spend a little more money to buy another one.
The inscription talisman made by the master allows your treasure to achieve the strongest effect.
Lin Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Sell, I'll consign two of them."
Lin Ming has spent all his money recently. If it weren't for Da Mingxuan's salary, he would have run out of food.
He could still accept losing a little money by selling only two pieces. As for the remaining two pieces, he could wait a little longer. He was really not willing to sell them for a hundred taels of gold.
"Leave the address." The fat shopkeeper said. The trading center is only responsible for consignment. They will only pay if someone buys it. It is not certain whether Lin Ming can sell these two inscription talismans.
"The rental fee for a low-grade rental space is one tael of gold, the rental fee for a medium-grade rental space is three taels of gold, and the rental fee for a high-grade rental space is five taels of gold. The rental period is one month. If it cannot be sold within one month, it will be automatically removed from the shelves and the rental fee will not be refunded." Fat Shopkeeper
Said again.
"Holy shit!" You have to pay for the location. It's so fucking stupid! He turned around and looked around. The high-end rentals were obvious, the medium-grade rentals were second, and the low-grade rentals were in the corners. Look carefully.
You may not even be able to find it.
Lin Ming took out the remaining five gold cakes from his pocket, took out three and placed them on the table, saying, "Medium rental."
What the hell is this? The inscription talisman you made by yourself is no less than the work of a master and only sells for one hundred taels of gold, and you have to pay 5% tax and rental fee! It also depends on people’s faces!
Lin Ming sighed, it was really difficult to move forward without fame.
Weighing the two small gold cakes left in his pocket, Lin Ming smiled bitterly. Not to mention buying elixirs to practice martial arts, it would be nice to have food to eat.
There was no elixir, no medicinal herbs, and Lin Ming had no nerve to ask Lin Xiaodong for money. He practiced the "Chaos True Essence Art" alone in Dazhou Mountain, and the days passed like this.
In the blink of an eye, it has been seven days.
Fangshi Trading Center has always had a good business. Some discerning people are happy to come here to buy things. Their shopping is not called buying, but called shopping. Picking out treasures among a pile of ordinary goods is the most fulfilling thing for Taobao people.
.
However, Taobao people specialize in materials and herbs. It is difficult to see the effect of inscription symbols unless they are used on treasures. Taobao people never touch them.
Therefore, there are hundreds of Taobao people coming and going in the past few days, but Lin Ming's inscription talisman has always been safely placed on the shelf, with no one paying attention to it.
Until today, a tall and strong man came to the trading center. He was bare-chested, with muscles all over his body. He carried a four-foot-long heavy knife on his back, and he walked like a tiger.
This man's eyes were cold and resolute, and his body was covered with scars. He had obviously experienced countless life-and-death fights. Such a person was a real killer, and could not be compared to those warriors trained in the martial arts palace.
Seeing this person, the fat shopkeeper shrank his eyes, he was actually a strong man at the peak of the fifth level of body training and bone training!
This kind of person is only one step away from the pulse condensation stage. However, even with this one step away, too many people fail to cross it in their lifetime.
"What do you want to buy?" the fat shopkeeper stood up and greeted.
The man didn't say anything and just looked at it. The shopkeeper was very wise and kept silent.
The big man looked at it bit by bit, but nothing seemed to arouse his interest. Until a certain moment, he pointed to two pieces of yellow paper pressed by glass on a shelf and asked, "Are these inscription talismans?"
"Yes."
"Only one hundred taels of gold?" the big man asked in surprise. The inscription talisman often costs more than one thousand taels of gold. One hundred taels is really cheap.
The shopkeeper explained truthfully: "This is an inscription talisman made by an inscription apprentice. The producer's cultivation level is probably only at the third level of physical training. The amplification effect cannot be guaranteed. It may only be between half and ten percent."
"Half to 10%..." The big man frowned. This was indeed a shabby number, but an inscription rune worth more than a thousand taels of gold was certainly not something he could afford.
The big man's name is Tiefeng, and he comes from a civilian family. With only the salary provided by the army to support his parents and buy medicine for himself to practice, he is naturally not too rich. Not to mention more than a thousand taels of gold, it is the one hundred taels of gold that he takes in
It's also heavy in my hands.
A month ago, during a battle with the army, Tiefeng killed an enemy general in the Bone Forging Realm and captured the opponent's sword. This was a treasure of a lower-level human!
The army stipulates that all spoils of war belong to the person who captured them. In this way, Tiefeng had a treasure, but this treasure was a broken product. When Tiefeng saw the sword, the tip of the sword became
It's been broken.
The effect that a mutilated treasure weapon can exert is extremely limited. When a warrior pours true energy into a mutilated treasure weapon, the combat effectiveness of the true essence will be greatly reduced because the weapon is incomplete.
What's even more disappointing to Tiefeng is that this sword has not been inscribed, which means that its combat power is even lower.
Tiefeng didn't plan to inscribe it. Firstly, Tiefeng couldn't afford the inscription talisman. Secondly, it wasn't worth it to inscribe a broken treasure. However, after seeing this apprentice inscription talisman, he was a little tempted.
Generally, an inscription talisman with an increase of 30% costs 1,500 taels of gold, but an inscription talisman with an increase of half to 10% only costs 100 taels of gold. Obviously, this kind of apprentice inscription talisman is cost-effective. The most important thing is that he can buy it.
Affordable.
Tomorrow is the third round of the military martial arts competition. He will face a very difficult opponent. The more powerful the sword is, the greater his chance of winning.
This military martial arts competition is limited to soldiers under 30 years old. Those with outstanding results will receive generous rewards or military promotions.
Tiefeng has accumulated a lot of military merit. This time, as long as he has excellent results, he can be promoted to captain of ten thousand men. The reward is also very important to Tiefeng. His mother broke his legs ten years ago when he collected medicinal herbs for him.
, unable to get out of bed from now on, Tie Feng once vowed to buy the black jade ointment, a strange medicine that can rejuvenate muscles and bones, to heal his mother's legs. This black jade ointment is worth five thousand taels of gold. To him now
It's an astronomical figure.
Thinking of this, Tiefeng clenched his fists. Tomorrow's third round of competition, Marshal Qin Xiao, will come to the arena in person. This is the first time he has seen this legendary figure. No matter what, the competition cannot be lost!
Tiefeng gritted his teeth and said to the shopkeeper: "I bought this inscription talisman!"
－－－－－－－－－－－－－
"Oh no, you actually got ninety-five taels of gold back?" Lin Xiaodong looked at the gold ticket in Lin Ming's hand in disbelief. He was thinking about which woman was tricked by Brother Ming and spent ninety-five taels of gold to buy it.
He asked for a piece of toilet paper. Of course, he was embarrassed to say this.
"It's ninety-two taels." Lin Ming said. The trading center in Fangshi gave the money very quickly, but it was handed over to Lin Ming the next day. One hundred taels of gold, with a deduction of 5%.
After the transaction commission and the rental fee of 30 taels, there are still 92 taels left.
An inscribed rune worth at least one thousand taels of gold was sold for only ninety-two taels, which made Lin Ming dumbfounded. The person who bought the rune made a profit, but having said that, he also took a risk by buying the rune.
There should be a reward, not to mention that if it weren't for them, they themselves would be out of food.
With more than ninety taels of gold, it is impossible to buy high-grade elixirs. It is true to buy some medicinal herbs for healing. Lin Ming shrugged and walked towards the medicine store. He did not know that at this time, a meeting was being held at the military campus on the outskirts of the city.
An unprecedented grand martial arts meeting.
In the ten-mile school field, tens of thousands of soldiers, wearing heavy armor but still breathing easily, stood in neat square formations. Just by getting close to them, you could feel a substantive killing aura, like an iron horse.
Generally coming at a gallop, these people are all the elite divisions of Tianyun Kingdom, and if you pick anyone at random, they will be as strong as ten warriors.
Opposite these soldiers, there is a row of seats. In the center of the seats, there is a man sitting. This man is wearing a golden battle armor. Although his temples are gray, his face is like a crown jade and his eyes are like a falcon, giving people an impression of
As if there is a feeling of infinite power, this person is none other than Qin Xiao, the general who conquered the Dongyang Kingdom eighty years ago.
Qin Xiao personally attended this martial arts competition, which shows its importance.
Important members of the Qin family also attended, including Qin Xingxuan and Qin Xingxuan's teacher Master Mu Yi. Master Mu Yi is now one hundred and ten years old, and his own cultivation has reached the middle stage of the day after tomorrow. He is one of the top masters in the Tianyun Kingdom. At the same time, Master Mu Yi
Yi was also a master of inscriptions, and even the king of Tianyun Kingdom was very polite to him when he saw him.
In addition to the Qin family, important members of the military will naturally not be absent.
