Chen Taizhong didn't guard against this blow at all, but with his skill, he naturally wouldn't let the other party slap him on the shoulder. He had to take a light step to get rid of the other party's palm.
The next moment, he looked sideways and a smile appeared on his face, "It turns out to be Lao Hu, you scared me."
The person who tapped him on the shoulder was none other than the person from the Hu family whom he met on the way after leaving Yinxia Road.
"Hey, the little servant has become a seventh-level immortal?" Lao Hu has a good eye, and he saw Wang Yanyan's cultivation level again, and said with a half-smile, "I remember she used to be a ninth-level immortal, right?
"
"Life is already very difficult, so don't expose it," Chen Taizhong laughed dryly.
"I knew you were not a ninth-level immortal," Lao Hu looked at him with a smile. You must know that he was a dignified fifth-level immortal. "No immortal can escape my shot."
"You are getting old," Chen Taizhong laughed loudly. "A good man will not mention his bravery in the past, but his hands and feet are no longer good."
"Okay, let's stop talking. It's rare to meet an old friend in a foreign country." Lao Hu patted his shoulder again, "Looking for a place to have a drink?"
He knew that Xiao Chen was a genuine Wangquan native. Although the two had never met in Wangquan, they were fellow villagers.
"Okay," Chen Taizhong nodded and agreed.
The two found a farmyard with the word "wine" on it and asked the farmer to serve home-brewed wine. The quality of the wine was very poor, but some elixirs were added to it. Plus, the two of them drank it in the same mood.
Don't care about these.
Lao Hu is a relatively easy-going master, and he is not picky about these things. And speaking of the purpose of his visit, it is naturally for the transaction of elixirs.
This time, the Hu family sent a team of more than ten people, which included all major branches. Lao Hu is a member of the three branches of the Hu family and can be regarded as a direct descendant.
However, despite this, he did not say how many elixirs he had brought, nor did he ask Xiao Chen how many elixirs you had brought.
It's fun to meet fellow villagers, but there are some things that we have to say that are both superficial and deep.
As he spoke, Chen Taizhong thought of the guy who robbed him, "In your Hu family, there is Hu Xinxi, a third-level immortal?"
"Oh, that's from Qizhi." Lao Hu nodded and looked at him suspiciously, "No one from Qizhi came this time... How do you know him?"
"That guy robbed me," Chen Taizhong smiled bitterly and recounted what happened yesterday. Of course, he wanted to emphasize it, "...if I hadn't seen that he was a member of the Hu family, I would have killed him directly. At the very least, I would have killed him."
I also want to grab his storage bag."
"Hey... Qizhi," Old Hu smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said nothing more - family matters. It was impossible for him to tell outsiders, "Anyway, thank you, little brother Chen, for being merciful."
"I'll ask him for twenty-five top-quality spiritual stones later," Chen Taizhong said calmly.
"This is a matter between you and him," Lao Hu shook his head, looking like he had no interest in intervening.
It's best that you're not interested. Chen Taizhong didn't want to mention the matter any more, so he changed the topic, "What kind of great medicine is Baiyao Valley going to make this time? Do you actually need so many thousand-year-old elixirs?"
"How can we know what pills they want to make?" Lao Hu shook his head disapprovingly, "Once word spreads, Bai Yao Valley itself will not be able to survive. If others ask for medicine, will they give it to them?"
Chen Taizhong sighed when he heard this, "Oh, my status is still a bit low... But with so many elixirs, Baiyao Valley has to pay a lot, right?"
"Perhaps they don't intend to refine the great medicine, but just want to purchase the thousand-year-old elixir. Anyway, there are not too many of these things in the Hundred Medicine Valley," Lao Hu has a good-tempered temperament. He glanced sideways at Chen Taizhong and said, "Understood?"
"Understood," Chen Taizhong nodded. His IQ was definitely not low. "That means that even if the Hundred Medicine Valley can refine the great medicine, it can be said that it has not been refined. They just spread the word to purchase the elixir."
"You can teach me," Lao Hu smiled and nodded, "There are some pieces of information that are impossible to understand without a certain status, and it's meaningless for you and me to guess randomly."
"This is information asymmetry," Chen Taizhong muttered softly before laughing again, "If you don't become an immortal, you will always be an ant."
"That's right, that's what I mean." Lao Hu nodded, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Then he sighed softly and spoke with deep emotion, "Actually, even if you become an immortal, in the eyes of the Jade Immortal, you are still
Aren’t they the same ants?”
Although he is an immortal, he is qualified to say this. It should be noted that there are immortals in the Blunt Suo Hu family.
"Cultivation is the foundation," Chen Taizhong nodded, but he was thinking in his heart. It seems that the life of this named family may not be so smooth, and they also have their own troubles.
Three days later, Baiyao Pai's trading conference officially began.
People waiting around can no longer enter Baiyao Pavilion. Those who have elixirs to trade can enter the small courtyard and wait.
This elixir does not have to be a thousand-year-old elixir. As long as it is valuable enough, it can be traded - some rare hundred-year-old elixirs are actually more precious than a thousand-year elixir.
However, the Baiyao Pavilion's main focus this time is to collect thousand-year elixirs, so traders can enter the lobby. After screening, if they are thousands of years old elixirs, they can go to the second floor to discuss in detail.
There seemed to be quite a few people bringing valuable elixirs this time. There were 70 or 80 people in the courtyard, and after talking all morning, they only talked to a dozen people.
After these people left the hall, they all hurried out of the courtyard and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
As you can imagine, everyone is carrying good things that cannot be bought with spiritual stones on ordinary days, so of course they are worried that someone will covet them.
Chen Taizhong entered the hall in the afternoon, and there were disciples from Baiyao Valley registering next to him, "Name, identity."
Chen Taizhong was most bothered by this registration, so he frowned and said, "I'm just here to trade, why do I need to report my identity?"
"First of all, your elixir must have a provenance. It is best if it has an innocent origin," the Bai Yao Valley disciple in charge of registration is also a charming female cultivator and a fourth-level spiritual fairy. She has no expression on her face and explains in a routine manner.
.
"Secondly, what is also very important to you is that if you want to trade, you need to take possession of the things from my Hundred Medicine Valley. If your background is not very clean, I am afraid it will be inconvenient for you to register some of the things...
Identity is good for you."
Chen Taizhong really didn't want to register this identity. He just said the name given by that bastard from Nantes, which made him unable to speak. He thought about it and then asked, "If you are introduced by the disciples of Baiyao Valley, does it count as your origin?"
"Of course you can," the female cultivator nodded slightly and looked up at him again, "Who recommended you?"
"Inner Hall Lei Xiaozhu, a third-level spiritual immortal," Chen Taizhong smacked his lips.
"Junior Sister Xiaozhu?" The female cultivator blinked, "She went out on business. Are you sure it's her?"
"It's her, Miss Lei, who doesn't know her?" Chen Taizhong smiled bitterly.
The female cultivator lowered her head to register and handed him a jade talisman, "If it's a thousand-year elixir, please go upstairs, otherwise please go along the corridor and go to the side rooms on both sides."
Chen Taizhong took the jade plaque, walked to the corner of the hall, and climbed up the stairs.
The second floor is different from the first floor. There are rooms on both sides. There is a hall of about sixty or seventy square meters in the middle. There is a large table in the center. There are two people sitting behind the table. One is a thin and dry old man, and the other is
Beautiful young woman.
Seeing a ninth-level wandering immortal coming up to her, the young woman didn't even show interest in raising her eyebrows. The old man spoke feebly, "Bring over the jade talisman in your hand... what kind of thousand-year-old elixir is it?"
"Thousand-year-old turtle antler," Chen Taizhong stepped forward, sat on the chair for guests, handed over the jade talisman, took out a jade box from the storage bag, and gently pushed it over
.
Thousand-year-old turtle antler is a kind of moss that grows on the back of the water turtle. The water turtle is an eighth-level desolate beast and can live for two or three thousand years without any problem.
"Taiwan antler," the skinny old man frowned, but took the jade box, opened the seal on the box, took out a handful, rubbed it gently, sniffed again, and said calmly, "Nine hundred and eighty.
Around the year, this water turtle is low on essence and blood...what do you want to trade?"
I guess, Chen Taizhong is really a little dizzy. Isn't this a bit too professional?
In fact, he really wanted to use the Detection Technique to check the cultivation level of these two people. However, when he got the Detection Technique, people from the Vampire Vine Li family said that this kind of detection is easier for high-level cultivators to sense.
.
In the past, Chen Taizhong used probing techniques unscrupulously, because most of the people he encountered were opponents, even passers-by, and he was not afraid to check the opponent's cultivation level - it is not a bad thing to be cautious when going out.
But now, he wanted to ask for something from the other party, and if he continued to investigate, he would be suspected of being impolite, so he resisted this desire. But what he can be sure of is that these two people are at least high-level spiritual immortals.
.
That beautiful woman gave him a stronger sense of oppression, and she was most likely to be an immortal.
These thoughts flashed through his mind, and then he had to face the other party's question - What do I plan to change for these antler?
In fact, Baiyao Valley should take the initiative to propose the exchange, and the traders will increase the price as appropriate, because... Baiyao Valley is relatively good at acquiring elixirs, but many practitioners don't know much about it.
.
But they just didn't make an offer and waited for the cultivators to make an offer. Otherwise, they took the initiative, which was a benefit.
Then Chen Taizhong had no choice but to ask for an exorbitant price, "In exchange for twenty barrier-breaking pills and twenty drops of mind-purifying water."
The corners of the skinny old man's mouth twitched, and then he looked at him with a hint of teasing, "Do you think this request is realistic?"
"It's very realistic." Chen Taizhong spread his hands with an innocent look on his face, "I had a hard time killing that water turtle."
The old man looked at him helplessly, and amplified his voice a little, "Xiaotian, come out and judge how much this turtle antler is worth."
With this sound, the door of a room was opened, and a sweet girl walked out. She walked over, picked up the jade box and took a look at it, twitched her small nose, and spoke simply, "Five barrier-breaking stars."
Dan, mind-purifying water is impossible."
"Okay, why don't I stop selling it?" Chen Taizhong stretched out his hand and motioned for the other party to return the jade box.
