Xiuxian: I have an inventory

Chapter 127 Two new pieces of equipment!
"Shopkeeper, how much is this talisman pen?"

Duobao Pavilion is a high-end magic weapon shop, and the items that can be put on sale here are of the lower second grade.

In the store, there are even a few magic weapons that have reached the third level!

When Xiao Changqing arrived at the store under the guidance of Lin Ziyu, the first thing he saw was a second-level talisman pen.

"Is the guest a second-level talisman master?"

The shopkeeper was also a foundation-building cultivator. He said with a smile, "Although there are several second-level talisman masters in Liyang Immortal City, I know them all. But you look unfamiliar. Are you new to Liyang Immortal City?"

Xiao Changqing did not answer, but asked calmly: "Why, do I need to check the origin of something when I buy it from your store?"

The shopkeeper waved his hands and apologized, "I am sorry for saying too much. The origin of this second-level talisman pen is not simple. Its previous owner was the number one talisman master in Liyang Immortal City, and his talisman skills reached the third level! It was after he passed away that his descendants failed to live up to his expectations and lost all their wealth, so they sold this talisman pen to our Duobao Pavilion."

"What I said is absolutely true. Duobao Pavilion is quite famous in Liyang Immortal City. If you are a new customer, you can ask about it. Therefore, when we sell things, we also clearly mark the prices and never bargain."

"Although this talisman pen is only of the second level, due to its origin, the price is slightly more expensive, requiring 2,800 low-grade spirit stones."

"If the customer thinks it's too expensive, they can choose something else... For example, this talisman pen is also second-grade, and the workmanship and materials are not much different, but it only costs two thousand low-grade spirit stones."

This shopkeeper is quite honest and can be considered a conscientious businessman.

It is indeed as he said, Duobao Pavilion is not the largest or highest-end magic weapon shop in Liyang Fairy City, but it has a good reputation and is very reputable in both recycling and sales.

Xiao Changqing didn't think too much and decisively took out two thousand eight hundred low-grade spirit stones to buy the talisman pen.

I didn’t choose the talisman pen that was eight hundred yuan cheaper and more cost-effective.

It’s not that he trusts the owner of Duobaolou, but that he trusts the system.

【Sky Blue Talisman Pen】

[A second-level fine talisman pen, the material and forging craftsmanship are quite admirable. What's more valuable is that it was once the favorite of a third-level talisman master, and it has extraordinary significance to him. Even after he became a third-level talisman master, he often used this talisman pen to draw talismans and made many third-level talismans. It's a pity that this third-level talisman master is not a Jindan cultivator, and cannot use Dan fire to warm and refine it, otherwise the quality of this talisman pen can be taken to a higher level. ]

[Equipment requirements: Second-level low-quality talisman skills]

[Equipment Effect: Improved Talisman Talent (Green), Second-Class Top-Grade Talisman Skill]

Looking at the system's evaluation, Xiao Changqing knew that what the owner of Duobao Tower said was true.

This sky-blue talisman pen is indeed owned by a third-rank talisman master.

Moreover, unlike most talisman masters, who would switch to a higher level talisman pen after their talisman skills were upgraded, this talisman pen had a special meaning to him, and even after becoming a third-level talisman master, he was reluctant to put it aside and continued to use it.

After Xiao Changqing got the talisman pen, his talisman skills, which had been stagnant for several years, instantly improved by two levels, from a second-level low-grade talisman master to a second-level high-grade talisman master!

“It’s better to cheat for one minute than to work hard for several years.”

"This feeling is really... wonderful!"

Xiao Changqing secretly sighed in his heart.

This is the benefit of coming to Liyang Fairy City.

If in a remote place like Nanshanfang, there are very few foundation-building cultivators, where can we find the remains of a third-level talisman master?

This is also the reason why Xiao Changqing was not tempted at all by the invitations from the City Lord's Mansion and the top ten families.

No matter how good the resources the City Lord's Mansion and the top ten families can provide him, can they compare to the system?

Why would you sign a thirty-year indenture and put yourself in danger just for that little bit of resources?

After arriving at Liyang Fairy City, although my cultivation level cannot be improved quickly, I still need to take my time to form the elixir.

But in the next few years, his strength, talent, background, and means of protecting the way will increase rapidly.

"What's up with the green talent for talismans?"

"Talisman Master Lu Qiu's double-winged tiger brush also improves the talent of talismans after the system equips it, but there is no blue mark. Does this mean that the talent of this sky-blue talisman brush will be improved even more after it is equipped?"

Xiao Changqing seemed to be thinking about something.

But he didn't have time to study more now.

Next, he had to take a good look around the Duobao Pavilion shop and buy a few more treasures.

……

Xiao Changqing decisively paid 2,800 low-grade spirit stones to buy a second-level talisman pen with a 'not very high' cost-effectiveness, which made the shopkeeper's attitude become a little more enthusiastic.

Although the customers who can come to Duobao Pavilion to consume are basically foundation-building cultivators, not the lower class.

But even if they are all at the Foundation Establishment Stage, there are still differences in level, and in wealth.

Most cultivators in the early or even middle stages of the second stage are not particularly wealthy.

There are many opportunities to earn spirit stones in Liyang Fairy City, and even more opportunities to spend spirit stones.

Moreover, it has to be used to strengthen its own strength, and the expenses are very high.

Therefore, it is difficult for Duobao Pavilion to find a customer who can spend nearly three thousand low-grade spirit stones without blinking an eye and without hesitation.

Half an hour later.

Under the enthusiastic introduction of the shop owner.

Xiao Changqing's eyes finally straightened up, and he held the flute in his hands lovingly, looking at it repeatedly.

【Nine Autumn Flute】

[This soul attack magic weapon is made of a small piece of third-grade top-grade spiritual wood. It is of excellent quality. After being refined by a Jindan cultivator into a life magic weapon, its power is even more extraordinary. Now, except for the lack of spirituality, it is still a good soul magic weapon. ]

[Equipment requirements: The soul can be projected to 80 feet]

[Equipment Effect: Soul Amplification 1.5 Times, Nine Autumn Divine Awareness Secret Technique] Seeing Xiao Changqing holding the Nine Autumn Flute tightly, the shop owner's eyes lit up immediately and began to introduce:
"This Jiuqiu Xiao is the natal magic weapon of 'Jiuqiu Zhenren'! Jiuqiu Zhenren was also a legendary figure in the Great Yu Immortal Cultivation World hundreds of years ago. Like Liyang Zhenren, he was also a casual cultivator. Although he was not the undisputed number one casual cultivator of his time like Liyang Zhenren, who founded a huge immortal city, Jiuqiu Zhenren's cultivation had also reached the middle stage of Jindan."

"Master Jiuqiu is best at using this Jiuqiu Xiao to perform the secret art of the soul! It is said that Master Jiuqiu, with his powerful soul, can use the Jiuqiu Xiao to perform almost invincible actions at the middle stage of the Jindan stage. Even masters at the late stage of the Jindan stage will have a headache and find it difficult to display their true strength."

Xiao Changqing nodded after listening.

He did not comment, but just asked: "Boss, please tell me the price and I will see if I can accept it."

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper rubbed his hands and coughed. "You should know, sir, that any third-tier magic weapon is not cheap. Especially this Nine Autumn Flute, which was once the life magic weapon of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Jindan stage. It has spiritual power, which is quite rare."

"Another point is that although Master Jiuqiu has passed away for more than 300 years, this Jiuqiu flute is made of very high-grade material, fourth-grade spiritual wood, and is well preserved without any damage."

"However, in comparison, the price is very affordable, only 23,000 low-grade spirit stones."

It is a third-tier magic weapon and the lifeblood of a middle-stage Jindan immortal. This Jiuqiu Xiao can be said to be one of the most valuable magic weapons in Duobao Pavilion.

But because it is a soul magic weapon, and it is not defensive in nature!
If it was a third-rank defensive treasure like the 'Thousand Illusion Mask' in Xiao Changqing's hand, let alone more than 20,000 low-grade spirit stones, even if it was 30,000 or even 40,000 low-grade spirit stones, it would not be so difficult to sell.

It just happens to be an offensive soul magic weapon, which is basically useless to foundation-building cultivators.

The spiritual consciousness of the foundation-building cultivators is too weak to activate the true power of the Nine Autumn Flute. Only the Jindan cultivators might take a look at it.
But even if it is a Jindan cultivator, whose spiritual awareness is strong enough to activate magic weapons, it is useless without the secret method of spiritual awareness.

Moreover, if you want to bring out the best power of the Nine Autumn Flute, you must also have the matching spiritual consciousness secret technique 'Nine Autumn Spiritual Consciousness Secret Technique'!
Naturally, Duobao Pavilion does not sell this secret method.

The 'Nine Autumn Divine Awareness Secret Technique' that once dominated the immortal cultivation world of Dayu by Nine Autumn Immortal was never passed down after his death and has become a masterpiece. Only the Nine Autumn Flute has been passed down to this day.

Due to the reasons mentioned above, this Jiuqiu Xiao has been on display in Duobao Pavilion for more than 20 years but has never been sold.

There were even very few guests who were interested in him.

Almost a mascot.

Today, I finally met a customer who was interested in the Jiuqiu Xiao, and he seemed to be generous enough to spend spirit stones. The shop owner became very excited and secretly decided to sell this flute.

"The natal magic weapon of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Jindan stage is so well preserved. Twenty-three thousand low-grade spirit stones is indeed not expensive..." Xiao Changqing did not deny it directly, but nodded to express his affirmation first.

The shop owner's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't hide his surprise. He said with a smile, "Really? Our Duobao Pavilion never defrauds consumers and never randomly marks prices. Because our Duobao Pavilion has been established in Liyang Xiancheng for nearly a hundred years, and the reason why it has been able to stand firm and have a booming business is because we are fair! We are not doing a one-time deal, but a long-term business. Only when the price is fair and the customers are not at a disadvantage, will they be willing to come back and patronize again next time."

"Shopkeeper, don't be impatient. I haven't finished my words yet. There's still a but..." Xiao Changqing changed the subject and said, "If this Nine Autumn Flute was a defensive magic weapon of the Soul Dao, with such quality, I would definitely take out 23,000 low-grade spirit stones without blinking an eye. But this is an offensive magic weapon!"

Shopkeeper: ...

If it's a defensive soul magic weapon, you want to buy it with 23,000 low-grade spirit stones? You're just dreaming!
The price is almost doubled!
Xiao Changqing continued, "Moreover, it's not only an offensive soul weapon, but you don't have the spiritual consciousness secret technique that matches it! After I buy it, even if I get lucky one day and succeed in forming a pill, and my spiritual consciousness is enough to fully activate the Nine Autumn Flute, but without the corresponding spiritual consciousness secret technique, the power will be discounted. How about this, if you have the spiritual consciousness secret technique that matches this Nine Autumn Flute, I can add a few thousand lower-grade spirit stones and buy it together..."

Xiao Changqing said this while observing the other person's expression.

He was almost certain in his heart that this Duobao Pavilion did not have the 'Nine Autumns Divine Consciousness Secret Technique'.

Because if there was one, this flute would not be put out for sale alone, it would definitely be placed next to a matching set.

Moreover, the shop owner just introduced so much but did not mention the supporting secret method. The meaning is already very clear.

of course……

If Xiao Changqing's guess was wrong and the other party really took out the secret method of spiritual consciousness, Xiao Changqing would regret it and say that he could not use it for the time being.

When buying things, you can't be too honest.

As expected, the shopkeeper was originally very interested and enthusiastic. After hearing Xiao Changqing's "but", his eyes became quite resentful and he asked, "Daoyou, how many low-grade spirit stones do you think are an acceptable price?"

Xiao Changqing said calmly: "If I'm not mistaken, this Jiuqiu Xiao should have been on display in your store for many years and has never been sold? To be honest, I am indeed very interested in this flute. But 23,000 low-grade spirit stones are indeed too expensive. If you can give me a 30% discount, I can..."

Before Xiao Changqing could finish, he was interrupted by the shop owner, who said, "A 30% discount is absolutely impossible! The price is 20,000 low-grade spirit stones. If you are sincere, take it. If you still think it is too expensive, I would rather not sell it and keep this flute for another ten or twenty years, quietly waiting for the right person!"

Twenty-three thousand low-grade spirit stones, after a 30% discount, only a little over sixteen thousand are left.

He absolutely cannot accept it.

Twenty thousand low-grade spirit stones is already his bottom line.

When I purchased this Jiuqiu Xiao, I spent 21,500 low-grade spirit stones.

The result has been a problem for so many years.

If no one had cared about him, he would not have done business at a loss.

After Xiao Changqing bargained again without giving up, the shop owner remained firm and refused to give in.

Xiao Changqing had no choice but to take out 20,000 low-grade spirit stones and buy the Jiuqiu Xiao with an "unwilling" and "hugely disappointed" look.

Pay in one hand and deliver in one hand.

The shop owner who received the spirit stones breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally sold it!

Although I lost money on this business, it is much better to keep the products than to never be able to sell them.

In the future, he would never accept this kind of attack-type soul magic weapon even if he were beaten to death!

While heaving a sigh of relief, the shop owner looked at Xiao Changqing, who had a look of pain on his face, and felt a little embarrassed.

After all, in his opinion, Xiao Changqing was a complete "sucker". A foundation-building cultivator who bought a third-level soul-path attack magic weapon was most likely to use it as a decoration or as a musical instrument. As for having any real practical use, it was unlikely.

You can't use it to fight against the enemy, right?

Just as he said, even if there is a one in ten thousand chance of successfully forming a pill in the future, without the secret method of Nine Autumn Divine Consciousness, the use of this Nine Autumn Flute will be very limited.

Therefore, the shop owner believed that Xiao Changqing's 20,000 low-grade spirit stones were wasted, which was equivalent to helping him take the "thunder".

Feeling guilty, the shop owner decided to make compensation.
