Liu Ming's consciousness glanced at the old man, and a strange flash appeared in his eyes.
This skinny old man looks unattractive, but he is actually a monk in the late stage of liquid condensation.
"Mr. Gao, let me introduce the business to you." Lu Yanping started shouting as soon as he walked in. He seemed to be very familiar with the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper lazily raised his head and glanced at Lu Yanping, and then glanced at Liu Ming who was following behind. He seemed to have seen Liu Ming's late stage strength, and his casual expression dropped slightly.
"It turns out to be Mr. Lu. The guests you brought this time are not bad." Gao Laoer chuckled and stood up from the recliner.
"No, ordinary people like me..." Lu Yanping immediately became energetic when he heard this.
"Fellow Taoist, what do you need to buy?" Gao Laoer asked Liu Ming with a smile before Lu Yanping could finish speaking.
"This Fellow Daoist Liu wants filthy yin liquid, magic crow crystal and essence powder. Do you have them here?" Before Liu Ming could speak, Lu Yanping had already spoken out.
"There are still some stocks of foul yin liquid and magic crow crystal, but the essence powder is gone. These top-grade weapon refining materials are worth hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones at least, and small shops cannot afford them." The skinny old man said.
He glared at Lu Yanping, then frowned and said.
When Lu Yanping heard this, he glanced at Liu Ming, shrugged slightly, and made a helpless expression.
"Can I ask Shopkeeper Gao to take out the materials for me to take a look at?" Liu Ming said calmly after being silent for a while.
Although there was no strange color on his face, he was actually very surprised in his heart. Although there was no essence powder, he could buy the magic crow crystal and filthy yin liquid, which was already a big deal.
The skinny old man turned around and walked a few steps inside without saying anything. He turned over his hand and took out a jade plaque and waved it on the wall.
Suddenly there was a clicking sound, and an entrance as tall as a person was revealed on the wall, and then he walked in.
Liu Ming's eyes flashed, and this small shop indeed had some tricks up its sleeve.
This, and the skinny old man who is so unwilling to avoid outsiders entering and exiting the secret room, must be relying on something. It is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
After a while, the old man came out again, with a cloth bag in his hand.
"Fellow Taoist, please take a look." The skinny old man waved his hand and closed the secret room. Then he handed over the cloth bag.
Liu Ming nodded, opened the cloth bag, and revealed what was inside, which was a small white jade bottle and a square wooden box.
He first picked up the jade bottle and removed the stopper. Suddenly, a faint black gas came out from the mouth of the bottle. He looked into the bottle. He saw a thick black liquid inside, and a faint chill came out.
Liu Ming looked at it carefully for a while, then plugged the bottle and opened another wooden box. Inside was a purple crystal the size of a fist.
"Okay, I want both of these things. Shopkeeper Gao will give you a price." Liu Ming said with satisfaction after a brief inspection.
The skinny old man opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Lu Yanping had already spoken:
"I'm telling you, Mr. Gao, this is the first time Liu Daoyou has come back to your little shop. You can't ask for random prices."
"Boy Lu, I know how to do business. You don't need to teach me." The skinny old man glared at the man in green shirt and said.
"Fellow Taoist, I won't talk about the Demonic Crow Crystal. The price is 110,000 spirit stones. I bought the filthy yin liquid from other places at a high price. 150,000 spirit stones will never be paid twice."
The old man said calmly.
Liu Ming thought about it for a while and realized that the price was slightly more expensive than the market price he knew, but considering the scarcity of materials, it was still worth it.
However, he was unwilling to pay more for the spiritual stones if he could lower the price, so he glanced at Lu Yanping beside him seemingly casually.
Lu Yanping understood, coughed dryly, and began to discuss the price with the skinny old man.
After some haggling, the two materials were finally sold for 240,000 spirit stones.
Liu Ming was in a good mood after collecting the materials into the storage charm.
Now he still needs the last piece of essence powder to start refining the thirty-sixth level of restriction for his Jiuyi Skeleton Shield.
When he thought about the power of the magic weapon after it was upgraded to its prototype, Liu Ming couldn't help but feel a fiery feeling in his heart.
After completing the transaction, the two did not leave the store immediately.
"I'm telling you, Mr. Gao, do you really have no clue about Jingso powder?" Lu Yanping asked with a smile.
"I can still lie to you. Why wouldn't I sell it if I have it?" The skinny old man rolled his eyes when he heard this and said angrily.
"Hey, of course I didn't mean that. In two months, there will be an auction in Fangshi. Have you got any news?" Lu Yanping said with a smile.
"No, I haven't heard any special news here." Gao Lao'er shook his head and said.
"I wonder if Shopkeeper Gao has the essence and blood of a thousand-year-old turtle here, or if there are any clues about this?" Liu Ming heard a trace of disappointment flashing in his eyes, but after thinking about it, he asked again with the idea of giving it a try.
.
"The essence and blood of the ten-thousand-year-old turtle is no better than the previous ones. Not to mention that I don't have it here, I have never even seen it." Gao Lao'er glanced at Liu Ming and said.
Although Liu Ming already knew the result, he still couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.
The two of them immediately said goodbye to the old man and left the shop, and soon returned to Piaoxiangju Restaurant.
"In Changyangfang City, when it comes to weapon refining materials, Gao Lao'er has the most connections. Even he can't buy the essence powder that fellow Taoists need. It's probably the same at other shops." Lu Yanping took Liu Ming's hand.
He scanned the bag handed over with his spiritual consciousness and said slowly.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, just try your best. If you can't find it in the end, there's no need to force it." Liu Ming said with a slight smile.
"Well, I will ask other people again, and I will definitely give you a reply in two days." After Lu Yanping thought about it for a while, he said every word seriously.
Liu Ming immediately agreed with him on the time to meet next time and quickly left the restaurant.
Two days flew by.
Liu Ming kept to the time and came to Piaoxiangju Restaurant again. At the same seat, Lu Yanping was already sitting there waiting.
Liu Ming's eyes moved. Besides Lu Yanping, there was also a fat middle-aged monk at the wine table, and he looked over in astonishment.
"Fellow Daoist Liu is here, on time as expected." Lu Yanping saw Liu Ming and stood up with a smile.
"Brother Lu has been kept waiting for a long time. It's a coincidence that fellow Daoist Daoist Wuxin is also here." Liu Ming turned around and nodded to the middle-aged monk before Lu Yanping could speak again.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, I haven't seen you for a long time." The middle-aged monk quickly stood up and said with cupped hands.
"You two know each other?" This time it was Lu Yanping's turn to be a little stunned.
Liu Ming smiled slightly.
He and this middle-aged monk were not acquaintances, they had only met once.
That was two months ago, in Bailian Pavilion, a middle-aged monk and another bat monk noticed a spiritual weapon at the same time and had a dispute. Shopkeeper Ye asked Liu Ming to come forward, and after some adjustments,
Later, this spiritual weapon was sold to this person.
After painstakingly talking about the meeting between the two, Liu Ming naturally revealed his identity as a disciple of the Taiqing Sect.
"It turns out that Fellow Daoist Liu is actually an outer disciple of the Taiqing Sect. It's really disrespectful." When Lu Yanping heard Liu Ming's identity, he was shocked and quickly raised his hands and bowed again.
The Taiqing Sect is one of the great sects of the human race and is respected by people in Zhongtian Continent. Even if they are just ordinary disciples in the sect, they are not comparable to ordinary casual cultivators like him.
"You're welcome, Fellow Daoist Lu." Liu Ming returned the salute and said calmly.
After some polite exchanges, the three of them sat down again and talked about business.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, is there any information about the materials you don't know about?" Liu Ming asked straight to the point.
"I have inquired with many friends in the past two days, and I did get some news. In fact, the source of this news is Taoist Brother Ku, so I invited him and Taoist Liu to meet me today. Unexpectedly, everyone is
An acquaintance." Lu Yanping nodded and smiled.
"I'm just hearing this from hearsay. I think Brother Liu also knows that Changyangfang City's annual auction will be held in less than two months." He said with a faint smile.
"Yes, I did hear something." Liu Ming said with a normal expression. Regarding the news about the auction conference, Bailian Pavilion, as the Taiqing Sect's sphere of influence, is naturally clear.
"The scale of this auction conference is unprecedented. The conference is hosted by Tianluo Trading Company, which ranks among the top ten in the Qianhui Merchant Alliance. There are many rare treasures in the auction. According to reliable information, the spiritual materials for refining the tools that fellow Taoists want are
There is also a bottle of Essence Powder that will appear at the conference." After a pause, he continued.
"Is this true?" Liu Ming couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this.
"Brother Ku's source of information is very reliable, Brother Liu can rest assured. However, there is another thing that Brother Liu needs, the essence and blood of the Ten Thousand Years Spirit Turtle. I asked many friends, but in the end I still couldn't find it. I'm really sorry!"
Lu Yanping said.
"The essence and blood of the Ten Thousand Years Spiritual Turtle is something that can only be found but cannot be sought. Naturally, it is no wonder that Brother Lu has it." Liu Ming comforted him casually, and his mind quickly turned to the auction meeting.
"About this auction conference, there are rumors that there are more than ten top-quality spiritual weapons alone, and there are even more other elixirs and treasures. I even heard that the finale of the conference is a prototype of a magic weapon. That is
It’s something that even the strong men in the true elixir realm covet.” He couldn’t help but admire the painstaking efforts.
"The prototype of a magic weapon!" Liu Ming was also shocked when he heard this. This kind of treasure cannot be bought with just a spiritual stone.
"According to the rules of previous years, monks from large sects like Brother Liu who are in charge of the city will definitely receive invitations to participate in the conference. Although the essence powder is precious, it is an ordinary treasure in this auction conference. Spend more spiritual energy.
Stone, I believe it can be easily photographed." Lu Yanping touched his nose and said with some envy.
Liu Ming nodded silently, already thinking about it.
Although he has more than a million spirit stones in his hands, which is astonishingly rich compared to most monks in the liquid condensation stage, it seems that if he wants to participate in the auction meeting of the Changyangfang City Qianmeng Chamber of Commerce, it is not enough.
With the influence of Changyangfang City in the nearby area, it is not unusual for a True Alchemy Realm being to appear, let alone a Crystal Monk.
A million spirit stones may be an astronomical amount of spirit stones for a being in the liquid condensation realm, but to a monk above the crystal level, it is nothing.
