"Fellow Daoist Peng, I will exchange ten sticks of ambergris."
Tian Yao walked to the front of the booth and said to the little monk standing behind the booth, obviously knowing him.
After all, there are only so many cultivation sects. After visiting the trading market a few times, you will basically become familiar with them.
While talking, Tian Yao took out thirty lotus moon flowers from her storage bag.
According to past trading practices, three lotus flowers can be exchanged for one ambergris.
The monk surnamed Peng glanced at her indifferently: "Okay, one hundred lotus moon flowers or fifty Qi Gathering Pills."
What?
Tian Yao was surprised: "One hundred lotus moon flowers?
You’re not mistaken!”
The monk surnamed Peng said stiffly: "No, the price of ambergris has increased."
Tian Yao said: "The price has increased too much. It used to be three for one, but now ten is for one. This is too outrageous. Ambergris is not a rare resource."
The monk surnamed Peng was a little impatient: "I can increase the price of my things as much as I want. Do you care about that?"
Should you buy it or not?
If you can’t afford it, drive it!”
Tian Yao said angrily: "What are you dragging? It's not just your family that has ambergris. Ten for one, why don't you go and grab it?"
The monk surnamed Peng sneered: "Then you can buy it elsewhere. Anyway, my price is ten for one."
"Just go!"
Tian Yao turned around and left angrily.
Chen Hao witnessed the whole process and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Do people who sell things in the market have such a arrogant attitude?"
Tian Yao said: "That's not true. I have bought ambergris from this place named Peng several times, and the attitude has always been okay. I don't know what happened today."
She said angrily: "Perhaps this guy named Peng has a problem with his cultivation recently, and he's suffering from twitching."
Chen Hao said oh and glanced at the monk named Peng, looking thoughtful.
Soon, Tian Yao walked to another booth: "I want to trade ambergris."
Behind the booth was a woman in her thirties, wearing a black dress, who said: "Five Qi Gathering Pills or ten Lotus Moon Flowers."
Tian Yao's expression changed: "Did you also increase the price?"
The woman in the black skirt said with a smile: "Of course, if others raise the price, why can't I raise it? Otherwise, wouldn't it be a loss in sales?"
Tian Yao asked: "Why did the price increase? Is ambergris now scarce?"
The woman in black skirt picked her fingers and said nonchalantly: "I don't know about that.
Anyway, I will sell whatever others sell."
Tian Yao didn't say anything, turned and left with a sad look on her face.
Chen Haodao: "It seems that the prices of all ambergris have increased."
Tian Yao pursed her lips tightly: "I must ask for clarification today."
After glancing back and forth a few times, she came to a booth again.
Behind the booth was a young monk about the same age as her.
"Hi, Tian Yao, long time no see."
After seeing Tian Yao, the young monk's eyes were a little dodgey, but he still greeted him warmly.
He did not call Tian Yao Taoist Fellow Tian, but called her by her first name. Apparently the two had a good relationship.
Tian Yao said with a straight face: "Lin Qi, don't tell me that the price of your ambergris has also increased."
The young monk Lin Qi looked troubled: "Other sects have increased their price, and we can't maintain the original price. Otherwise, it wouldn't be vicious competition, which is prohibited by the market.
And you know, my master sets the price for our sect’s products, and it doesn’t matter what I say.”
Tian Yao said: "I don't blame you, I just want to know why?"
When Lin Qi heard this, he looked around and saw no one, so he said with his spiritual consciousness: "It's not that we want to increase the price of ambergris, but Wuqing Mountain secretly united with the ambergris sects to specifically target your Lotus Moon Palace.
Increase the price of ambergris.
Not just ambergris, but whatever you want to buy, the price is raised so that you can't make a deal."
Tian Yao was shocked and angry: "Qingqingshan is not the leader of the cultivation sect, why do you listen to them?
Don’t you need lotus moon tea?
This is the unique cultivation resource of our Lotus Moon Palace. If we fail to make a deal, it will not only be a loss for us, but also for you!"
Lin Qi sighed: "Qingqingshan said that they attacked Han officials before, but you stopped them, causing the operation to fail.
Not only did it put Han officials on guard, but it could also be traced to us, increasing our risk of exposure and hostility.
So everyone is very dissatisfied with you and feels that you have harmed the collective interests of the cultivation sect, so Qingqingshan said that they would give you some punishment, and everyone agreed."
He showed a look of helplessness: "Tian Yao, we have a good relationship, and of course I don't want to embarrass you.
But you also know that I am just a disciple, and my words don’t count.”
Tian Yao nodded and said: "I know, I don't blame you, thank you for telling me the reason."
Lin Qi was confused and said: "But I really don't understand why you want to help the Han government?
If the Han officials knew of our existence, it would definitely be detrimental to us.
And if Wuqingshan really takes back the Dragon Ball and gets a lot of resources, wouldn’t it be a good thing for our cultivation sect?”
Tian Yao said: "It's a long story, and I can't admit it without evidence.
And do you really think what Wuqingshan is doing is right?
Even if we don't stop it, the Han official will not be able to find the cultivation sect and will they not retaliate?
To take a step back, even if the Han officials don’t find us and Wuqingshan has received a lot of resources, is it necessarily a good thing for us?”
Lin Qi was startled, scratched his head, and said with a silly smile: "I don't know about this. Anyway, when Qingqingshan encouraged us, my master didn't agree."
"You are always so innocent."
Tian Yao said: "You can give me four bottles of ambergris at the increased price.
But I can’t give you the Lotus Moon Flower, I can only give you the Qi Gathering Pill.”
There are only three sects selling ambergris in the market. The monk surnamed Peng and the woman in black dress have very bad attitudes. Naturally, Tian Yao will not take advantage of them, so he might as well give the favor to Lin Qi.
In fact, Tian Yao doesn't have to buy ambergris. At most, it's not that convenient and fast to practice. However, she just received twenty Qi Gathering Pills as compensation from Wang Xinglong, so she doesn't feel bad spending them.
Just think of it as trading with the resources of Wuqingshan.
Lynch looked unbearable: "Let's stick to the old rules.
Just give me twelve lotus moon flowers or six Qi Gathering Pills."
Tian Yao shook her head: "How can that be done?
You lost money in trading and your master discovered it. How would you explain it?
One code is one code, I can't use our friendship to harm your interests, and I won't suffer any loss. I will tell you the reason when I have time, and you should hurry up and get the goods."
"All right."
Lynch took out four sticks of ambergris from his storage bag.
Tian Yao also took out twenty Qi Gathering Pills and was about to hand them over.
Suddenly, a voice sounded: "Lin Qi, are you trading ambergris with Lianyue Palace?"
Lin Qi, Tian Yao, and Chen Hao turned around and saw a few monks wearing the attire of the disciples of Qingqing Mountain walking over. The leader was a young man in his thirties with a smooth head and a pink face.
Lin Qi looked serious: "Yes, is something wrong with fellow Daoist Lu?"
