Guixu Immortal Kingdom

Chapter 110 Down and Snow Cotton
Theoretically, one can grow to the Bronze rank, or even become a Bronze rank life form while lying down. However, the tribulation when advancing from Black Iron to Bronze is inevitable. If you can withstand it, you can advance; if you can't, you will perish. Generally speaking, with the bloodline origin of Bronze rank, it is not difficult to pass the tribulation of Black Iron rank, and the success rate is even over 70%.

It's something many people dream of but can't have.

Therefore, the higher the grade of a bloodline artifact, the more its price skyrockets.

Even so, Ji Tianhao still set a relatively uniform price for the Black Iron-grade bloodline artifacts. Whether it met the price criteria for bloodline artifacts, whether he sold too few or set the price too low, none of that mattered. Bloodline artifacts were precious in the outside world, but to him, they weren't particularly valuable.

As long as they are of a different race, their bloodline essence can be refined and transformed into a sacred bloodline artifact.

Overall, this is a risk-free business, a sure-fire way to make money.

The buyer might make a profit, but he will definitely make a huge profit.

In the business world, profit lies within.

"Three thousand."

Haya and the other two harpies exchanged glances, both seeing a hint of joy in their eyes. Clearly, they didn't think the price was expensive for the bloodline artifact; on the contrary, they felt they had gotten a great deal and could profit from it.

I was immediately captivated.

Bloodline is something that accompanies one throughout their life; who wouldn't want to improve it if they could?

"I wonder how many of these sacred artifacts of the winged human race you possess?"

Haya quickly asked.

“There are four sets in total, but one of them has become a sample on display and is not for sale. So, only three sets are available for sale. If you want them, all three sets can be sold to you.”

Ji Tianhao said with a smile.

As for the one in the display case, there's no intention to touch it again.

"Yes, we want it all. And we also want the essence of heaven and earth that we saw before. We want the essence of gold and the essence of life. We want the essence beads directly, ten of each."

Haya's face immediately turned solemn.

She really wanted what was here.

"It has the essence of gold, but not the essence of life."

Ji Tianhao shook his head and said, "Among all the essences, life essence is the rarest and most precious. I don't have any extra to sell. I can only apologize that you can still strengthen yourself without the aid of life essence during cultivation. It's just that the absorption process is not as perfect as when you use life essence."

"I see. Then let's exchange them all for the Essence of Gold, twenty pieces."

Haya hesitated for a moment, then finally changed her mind.

“Three bloodline sacred artifacts, nine thousand; twenty gold essences, twenty thousand; that adds up to twenty-nine thousand.”

Ji Tianhao smiled and quickly gave the final number.

"Twenty-nine thousand. We don't have that much money on us, but we can use other things to offset the price."

Haya shook her head and said.

She couldn't possibly come up with over 20,000 yuan all at once; that's a considerable sum anywhere. But she dared to ask for it because she had the means to back it up. She possessed enough valuable items to match their worth.

Bartering is a normal form of trade, and it is especially common in Guixu.

Ji Tianhao was also delighted, after all, this would allow him to acquire brand new items, and there might be unexpected surprises.

"Oh, I wonder what Ms. Haya wants to offer in exchange."

Ji Tianhao asked with a smile.

Qi Lin and the others also showed curiosity.

Haya took a piece of cloth from a bracelet in her hand.

The fabric was pure white, soft and delicate, without any impurities. It had a very light and gentle texture and a faint shimmering sheen. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that this was no ordinary cloth.

"This is a specialty of our harpy clan. It is a cloth made by using special downy feathers and alchemy to create a fabric called Feather Snow Cotton. When worn, it can keep you warm in winter and cool in summer. Moreover, it can also provide some protection against ordinary attacks. It can be used to make some kinds of robes."

Haya spoke, handing over the small piece of down-filled cotton fabric.

Ji Tianhao reached out and took it, running his fingers over it. He could clearly feel the soft, skin-friendly texture of the fabric. This material far surpassed any silk or satin he had ever touched before; the difference in the materials themselves was enormous.

The difference is obvious.

This fabric, made primarily from the downy feathers of harpies and crafted using special alchemical techniques, belongs to the category of spiritual materials. Its value is naturally extremely high. It is a material used to forge superior magical robes and celestial skirts.

For cultivators, true magic robes and immortal garments are definitely far superior to ordinary clothes; the only difficulty lies in solving the problem of materials.

This down-filled cotton fabric is one type of spiritual fabric.

"This down-filled snow cotton fabric is indeed quite good. I wonder what your price is?" Ji Tianhao asked with a smile.

His words revealed a hint of interest without any attempt to conceal it.

"Down and snow cotton cloth is priced by the meter. One meter of cloth costs one hundred Guixu coins."

Haya said confidently.

"Sure, how much can you provide?"

Ji Tianhao did not refute it; the price was fair and acceptable.

“We can provide 150 meters of down fabric.”

Haya quickly replied.

"One hundred and fifty meters, that's fifteen thousand Guixu coins. We're still short fourteen thousand."

Su Yue spoke, her eyes sparkling with an unusual light. In business, she seemed to have suddenly found her own meaning in life.

"Besides the down fabric, you can take a look at this. A special completion item for the Guixu Watch: an energy stone."

Haya then took out another treasure.

All that could be seen was a special white crystal. It didn't look very big, just like the previous communication stone, but it seemed to contain a special rune that was constantly changing, making it appear unusually mystical.

"This is a special treasure that was extracted from the Creation Orb, and you're actually willing to trade it."

Ji Tianhao knew at a glance that this energy stone definitely belonged to the same series of crystals as the communication stone, and its aura was very similar. There was also a special rune in the previous communication stone, but this one was obviously different. The rune could not be captured and was constantly changing and twisting.

"The energy stone can give the Guixu Watch the function of detecting energy and displaying values. In Guixu, it is often used to detect one's own combat power. However, this value is only for reference and is not very meaningful. I don't need it, so I'm putting it up for trade. According to the normal price in Guixu, any special treasure related to the Guixu Watch is priced at 10,000 Guixu coins. I don't know if you want it."

Haya seemed to have no need for the energy stone, and felt that it was irrelevant to her, and that it didn't matter whether she had it or not. Testing her own combat power was not very meaningful. In the Ruins of Return, the most important thing was the life rank.

In any case, many people think that energy stones are not very useful. They just add a useless function to the Guixu Watch. Many people who get them will not use them and will directly exchange them for money. The accessories and special treasures of the Guixu Watch have a uniform price, starting at 10,000 Guixu Coins. The price of some very important special treasures will be higher, depending on the individual.

Clearly, Haya didn't want it and was preparing to use it as a bargaining chip.

"Okay, the energy stone is valued at ten thousand. We're still four thousand short."

Ji Tianhao nodded in agreement.

"We are prepared to pay the four thousand Guixu coins directly."

Haya immediately said.

Immediately, the two sides began their transaction, settling the payment between them. Ji Tianhao received the down fabric, energy stones, and four thousand Guixu coins. Haya received the bloodline artifact, the essence of heaven and earth. After inspecting the goods, both nodded in satisfaction and then left Baxia to stay temporarily in another area of ​​the lake.

"Brother Hao, should we put this down fabric in the shop for sale?"

Hu Youni asked curiously.

His gaze lingered on the down-filled cotton fabric, clearly showing his fondness. Touching it revealed its comfortable texture, a true pleasure. He imagined how comfortable it would be to wear clothes made from it.

"This stuff is rare, not much at all. We don't even know if we'll ever encounter a harpy again. Let's keep it for ourselves for now. Later, when we find someone with tailoring skills or a weapon refiner, we can use this cloth to make some magic robes and immortal garments for everyone. Good stuff, of course we should keep it for ourselves first."

Ji Tianhao said with a smile.

The purpose of being a traveling merchant is to collect resources and gain profits to aid one's spiritual practice.

If someone were to sell all the good stuff without reservation, they would be a mere merchant, and therefore, just itinerant traders. They prioritize their own interests.

"Hmm, I think that's a good idea. Good things should be kept for ourselves."

Su Yue nodded in agreement.

This behavior is normal.

Just like island nations on Earth, some of their products are directly classified into premium, high-quality, low-quality, and substandard.

The top-grade products are supplied to the country's high-ranking officials and dignitaries, the superior products are kept for the country's own people and Europe, and the inferior and substandard products are sold to China and other underdeveloped countries.

This practice is common in island nations and in many other countries as well.

“Father, those harpies came out of that giant tortoise. Those on it really are itinerant merchants.”

Ayunna had been keeping a close eye on the situation with Baxia Longjun. Not only did she see the harpies go in, but many people in the oasis, including other races, also saw it. This made them even more interested, all wanting to see if they could really trade there and if it was a legitimate business.

When they saw that the harpies had all come out safely and were quite excited, it was clear that they had gained a lot inside.

At this point, many people were already starting to get restless.
