Chapter 219 The Market of the National Teacher's House
The Imperial Master's Mansion is easy to find. Su Li found out after asking the waiter in the tavern.
So he found a gray cloak from his pocket to cover himself, and then used the invisible breath technique to arrive at the door of the Imperial Master's Mansion.
However, the main entrance of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion is obviously not a path commonly used by monks, but all the monks who come here can catch a trace of magic, which seems to lead people to the back of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion...
If you can't catch even this trace of the spell, then you probably won't be qualified to trade in the house.
Following the guidance of this spell, he came to the side wall of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion. There was no sign of any entrance, but the guiding spells gathered on the wall, forming a circular array.
"It seems to be injecting the true energy into it?" Su Li asked himself.
At this time, the kitten in his sash popped its head out, blinked its orange eyes, and said, "Silly, this is just a simple illusion."
"But that circular formation has sinister intentions."
"Injecting the true energy into the magic circle can naturally dispel the illusion, but it is equivalent to exposing the characteristics of your true energy to the other party!"
Su Li was just about to reach out, but he was suddenly startled... He thought that the Imperial Master's Mansion was open for business, but he didn't expect that it had such sinister intentions.
"Lingsha, thank you." Su Li thanked her sincerely, then scratched the cat's head.
I told you not to touch other people's things...
The kitten moaned feebly and narrowed its eyes to enjoy.
The power of habit is really terrifying. Even if she knew that it was Su Li who directed everything in Dongshan Mountain, she probably also knew her identity.
But once I get used to getting along with him, I can't help but feel carefree...
Su Li received Miao Lingsha's reminder and carefully observed the wall. Sure enough, he noticed something different in one place. That might be where the illusion was, and it should be a blank space.
Su Li thought about it for a while. If he wanted to hide himself, he could just ignore the magic circle and go directly into the illusion?
He just thought for a moment and then stretched out his hand again, but even though he knew that this magic circle could detect the attributes of his true energy, he still input a ray of true energy into it...
That is not the true Qi of earth and water that is stored in mountains and seas, but the true Qi of wood that rises from a hundred herbs!
Compared with Shanhaiguizang, Baicao Shengling Qi can only be regarded as an ordinary technique, and the Mu Xing Zhenqi produced is much inferior in terms of concentration and total amount.
So when the magic circle received this trace of true energy, it immediately recognized him as a non-traditional cultivator in the Return to True Realm who specialized in the attributes of wood.
After all, this Baicao Shengling Qi does not have any characteristics of any major sect. Relatively speaking, it can be regarded as an ordinary technique that is widely spread in the world of cultivation.
The hole in the wall covered by illusion suddenly opened, revealing a corridor leading to the inner courtyard of the Imperial Master's Mansion.
Su Li walked into it, but saw a young monk in luxurious clothes at the door standing in front of him and saying: "Comrade, according to the rules of the Imperial Preceptor's Office, no matter whether you buy or sell in the market, you must hand over a spiritual stone to the Imperial Preceptor's Office as a reward."
Venue Fees."
The young monk looks relaxed and casual, but in fact his nerves are tense as if he is about to take action at any time. This is normal, after all, monks who come to the Imperial Master's Mansion for the first time to conduct transactions are often not very satisfied with the 'venue fee' charging method.
But Su Li nodded understandingly after hearing this, and then threw a spirit stone to the young man.
"Fellow Taoist, please come in. Walk along this corridor to the end, and someone will naturally greet you." The young man said politely, but he had upgraded his 'fellow Taoist' to 'fellow Taoist', making him look even closer.
He gave money readily, which really made people like him.
Su Li followed the instructions and walked forward to the end of the corridor, where he saw a waiter who was obviously quite advanced, waiting here.
This waiter is equivalent to the realm of a first-class master in the world of martial arts, but such a person can only serve as a waiter in this world of cultivators.
"Does the Taoist Master come here to buy some things, or do you want to sell items on consignment?" the waiter asked respectfully.
Su Li was very surprised. This was the so-called cultivator market, so why didn't he seem to see anyone else?
But he didn't rush to ask the questions in his mind, and just said: "I heard that there is a market here, so I came here for the first time. I wanted to see what I could buy and what I could sell."
I thought this was a difficult question, but I didn't expect that the waiter nodded calmly and said: "In that case, Taoist priest, please follow me."
Su Li followed the waiter to a quiet room. This room seemed to be blocked by formations, and the protective measures were in place.
"Come here, Taoist Master, this is the 'distinguished guest's residence' of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion. I can answer everything for you here."
The waiter said and introduced Su Li into the room.
However, I saw that the furnishings in this room looked like an ordinary luxurious guest room, but there was a blank screen on one side of the room, and facing the screen was a comfortable and spacious table and chairs.
"Please, Taoist Priest, input a little bit of Qi into the 'shadow wall' to activate it."
Su Li did as he was told. He used the wood element energy that he had revealed earlier to point at the 'shadow wall' in the air.
Then the screen suddenly lit up!
Two large ink characters appeared on the white surface of the 'screen wall', one with the word 'buy' and the other with the word 'sell' occupying half of it.
Su Lilai became interested. He didn't expect to see a merit system similar to the Sword Sect's "Sword Serving Platform" in the Imperial Master's Mansion.
It just seems that this trading system is obviously simpler than the merit system, but it is also more concise and clear.
He once again let out a little breath and pointed at the word 'sell'.
However, the picture changed, and two more ink words appeared, each occupying half of it.
One is 'consignment' and the other is 'reward'.
Su Li looked at the 'reward' first, and saw that there was a list of rewards issued by other monks in this market.
As long as you think the price is right and you have the goods, you can naturally choose to complete the reward and hand in the goods, and then you will get the amount of spiritual stones or equivalent items in the reward list.
Looking at 'consignment' again, it requires manual service... This is understandable, so Su Li skipped this one.
Look at the word ‘buy’ again.
There are also two menus on display: ‘Reward’ and ‘Inventory’.
There is no need to say anything about "reward", it naturally corresponds to "reward" in the "sell" column.
When the 'Inventory List' was opened, there was a long list of items consigned by other monks at the Imperial Master's Mansion and their prices.
"It seems like you can't bargain?" Su Li asked.
"Reply to the Taoist Master, this is the price agreed between the Imperial Prefecture and the seller, and the goods have been deposited in the inner treasury of the Imperial Prefecture."
"If you like it, you can pay for it directly. If it's too expensive, you can only ask the Taoist priest to find another way."
Su Li nodded while listening: "I roughly understand."
Seeing that he was easy to talk to, the waiter took a breath and said goodbye: "Master Taoist, please be patient and check. If you need anything, you can ring the bell on the table and call me."
"The National Preceptor's Mansion can provide free food and accommodation, but it will not disturb the distinguished guests. We will not come to deliver meals unless the Taoist Priest requests it."
"Okay, go get me some more fruits. I'll study them slowly here."
The waiter then obeyed the order and left.
Su Li's gaze went directly past the cheap consignment items and directly found those items with high prices... He was not short of money, after all, he had collected a lot of trophies before...
