Chapter 431 Pregnant Spirit Dust
Xiao Ling nodded slightly, then looked back. Admittedly, the slovenly old man who ran the stall was not very good-looking, but the items he displayed were all of the best quality. Among them, he even collected precious medicinal materials such as blood bone ginseng, which can be used to refine eighth-grade peak elixirs.
Xiao Ling slowly stretched out his slender fingers and tapped several medicinal plants, several special materials, and rare items including several eighth-level magic cores on the stall set up by the sloppy old man.
Then, he raised his eyes to look at the sloppy old man and said in a calm tone: "Please pack these things carefully for me. How much are these items worth in total? I hope you can make it clear."
Most of these things Xiao Ling had never collected before. I have to sigh, the Dou Qi Continent is vast and vast, and the things that some people obtain by chance are often treasures that are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Xiao Ling just used it purely as a collection, and it might come in handy at some point in the future. For Xiao Ling, who is not short of money, the more of these items the better.
After all, things like the Demonic Core cannot be spawned by the Sky Palm Bottle, and Xiao Ling cannot always produce them at will, so it is always good to collect more.
The surrounding onlookers had already seen Xiao Ling's arrogant appearance when buying things, and now they were not too surprised to see him buying so many things at once. After all, as an eighth-grade alchemist, it is natural for him to be wealthy.
"These things you have chosen are all of great value. The stall owner, Mr. Yan, always offers very high prices, so you have to be mentally prepared. With my wealth, I cannot easily come up with the resources to match them. Woolen cloth."
Cao Ying whispered softly into Xiao Ling's ear, reminding him. She had also heard about this sloppy old man. Although she knew that Xiao Ling was rich, she did not want him to be taken as a victim.
The old man known as Mr. Yan heard what Xiao Ling said, but he didn't take it to heart at all.
A smile appeared on his old face, he rubbed his hands gently and said to Xiao Ling,
"Haha, Master Xiao Ling deserves to be the master of the eighth-grade medicine refining. He is really heroic and majestic. The people on this stall are all good treasures, so the prices cannot be low, so I will give you a fair price. Two eighth-grade three-color pills. Just take the medicine. Presumably, with your distinguished status, Master Xiao Ling, it should be easy to come up with this pill."
The people around him took a deep breath when they heard what the sloppy old man said. Most of the people present could not take out two eighth-grade and three-color elixirs for such precious items. Even if someone could take them out, it would undoubtedly be a huge expense.
After hearing this, Cao Ying frowned slightly. It is true that the items Xiao Ling selected are of high value, but the price of two eighth-grade and three-color elixirs is indeed a bit high. Xiao Ling would definitely suffer from such a transaction.
"Haha, the price you quoted is indeed a bit high. It's not very kind of you to do business like this. Although I don't lack these things, I don't want to waste my resources."
Xiao Ling looked at the sloppy old man with a half-smile, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said,
"But I don't want to get too entangled with you. Let's do this. I'll get another small thing from your stall as the difference. What do you think?"
When the sloppy old man heard Xiao Ling's words, he was slightly startled for a moment, and then he casually glanced at his stall.
Apart from the items Xiao Ling selected just now, the most precious item here is roughly equivalent in value to the blood-bone ginseng.
If Xiao Ling is asked to pick another item, even if it is the most precious item, plus the previous items, in exchange for two eighth-grade three-color elixirs, it will not be a loss for him, but a slight gain. Small profit.
Immediately, a smile appeared on the face of the sloppy old man, and he said to Xiao Ling: "Haha, since Master Xiao Ling said so, I will naturally give Master Xiao Ling this face, and I will suffer a little loss." Master Ling has taken a fancy to something here, so just pick whatever you want..."
Xiao Ling glanced at the sloppy old man angrily, thinking to himself that this old man was really shameless. Two eighth-grade and three-color elixirs were exchanged for these things, which was obviously more than enough, but he still claimed that he had suffered a loss.
However, Xiao Ling was too lazy to argue with him anymore, since he would not suffer any loss anyway. Since this old man is trying to kill himself, he will definitely regret it when the time comes...
Xiao Ling touched it slightly with his fingers, and a white light suddenly flashed through the ring, and immediately a delicate jade bottle fell into Xiao Ling's hands.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ling flicked his finger again, and the jade bottle fluttered in front of the sloppy old man. Afterwards, Xiao Ling explained: "In this jade bottle are two eighth-grade and three-color elixirs. I believe that with your knowledge, you can naturally distinguish the true from the false. And with my identity, I will not be like this." To do something false and resort to some tricks.”
The sloppy old man quickly took the jade bottle floating in front of him, his eagerness beyond words. He couldn't wait to uncork the bottle, and in an instant, a strong fragrance of elixir hit his nostrils. The mellow fragrance of red pepper is like a wisp of aura, permeating the air, making people feel refreshed as soon as they smell it.
When the onlookers around witnessed this scene, they all cast envious glances. Eighth-grade elixirs are rare things that are difficult for ordinary people to obtain. This sloppy old man actually harvested two of them at once. Although the items he traded were all valuable, in the eyes of everyone, the sloppy old man undoubtedly took advantage and made a huge profit.
"As expected of Master Xiao Ling, this elixir is indeed the best among elixirs." After confirming that the elixir was indeed genuine, the sloppy old man suddenly beamed with joy and carefully put away the elixir as if it were a rare treasure. Then, he said to Xiao Ling with a smile on his face.
At the same time, he kept moving his hands and quickly packed all the materials, medicinal materials and other items that Xiao Ling had selected previously, and presented them to Xiao Ling respectfully.
"As for Master Xiao Ling, as you said before, if you want to choose items from my stall, you can choose by yourself. No matter what kind of item you like, you can take it away."
Xiao Ling put all the materials handed over by the sloppy old man into the ring. He didn't say much after that, but nodded slightly.
Then, Xiao Ling turned his head slightly and fixed his gaze firmly on the corner of the jade platform. There, lying quietly, was a piece of light yellow copper, covered with a little green patina. If you look carefully, you can vaguely see some rather strange patterns on the copper sheet.
The many items on the jade platform all have outstanding appearances, and you can notice their extraordinary qualities at a glance. However, only that piece of light yellow copper was among the pile of treasures, just like garbage, attracting no attention from others.
Xiao Ling detected the soul power, and instantly, an extremely spiritual feeling came to his heart.
He was certain that this must be the piece of copper containing pregnancy spirit dust that Xiao Yan had missed in the original work.
The item of spirit-pregnant dust has long been extinct in this era. Specifically, the spirit-pregnant dust can nourish the soul. After the alchemist absorbs it, it can quickly increase the strength of the soul, thus laying the foundation for advancing to a higher-level alchemist.
Considering Xiao Ling's extensive knowledge, this is the first time he has seen such an object. However, it is quite a pity that Xiao Ling's soul realm has now entered the realm of spiritual perfection, and this spirit pregnancy dust is indeed of little use to him.
However, this item has little effect on Xiao Ling, but it is of considerable help to the Little Medical Immortal and the others. After buying it back, you can give some to each of them to enhance their soul power.
"This thing looks quite interesting to me, so I want it."
As Xiao Ling spoke, he raised his finger and pointed at the tattered copper piece, and then said sternly to the sloppy old man.
Looking in the direction of Xiao Ling's finger, the sloppy old man's eyes also focused on the tattered copper piece. Suddenly, there was some doubt in his expression.
This piece of copper has been placed outside for some time. During this period, many people had seen it, but no one bought it. The reason is that the price offered by the sloppy old man is relatively high, which discourages everyone.
Not long ago, there was a young master from the Xuanming Sect who became somewhat interested in this thing. But after some consideration, I finally felt that the price was too high and did not buy it. This incident made the sloppy old man feel a little regretful.
He knew in his heart that this tattered copper piece must be an ancient thing. But as for what kind of secrets were hidden in it, he couldn't tell clearly.
But he knew very well that since Xiao Ling, a genuine eighth-level weapon refiner, could be interested in it, the value of this copper piece must be quite high. When he thought of this, an inexplicable feeling of regret suddenly surged in his heart.
However, before he could think any more, Xiao Ling stretched out his palm, and in an instant, suction force suddenly rose in his palm. Before the sloppy old man had time to react, Xiao Ling held the tattered piece of copper firmly in his palm.
"Okay, now that I have the things, I won't stay here any longer." Xiao Ling casually said this, turned around, and raised his feet to leave.
The sloppy old man had just come to his senses at this moment, but the doubts in his heart were as uncontrollable as the tide. After all, he couldn't hold it back and asked Xiao Ling,
"Haha, Master Xiao Ling, I wonder if you know what kind of treasure is hidden in this copper piece? I have held this thing for many years, but I have never been able to figure out its origin. Now that it is in your hands, I don't know Can you let me know this clearly?"
Upon hearing the sloppy old man's question, Xiao Ling's steps that he had just taken paused slightly. Then, he slowly turned around, a faint smile appearing on his face.
"Haha, since you want to know so much, then I will fulfill your wish." Xiao Ling said with a steady and powerful voice. "There is a soul cultivation formula hidden in this copper piece, as well as some spirit pregnancy dust. I guess with your current status, you should also know the origin of these things."
After a short pause, Xiao Ling continued: "Okay, that's it for now, I won't delay your business anymore." He chuckled lightly, with a hint of freedom in his smile.
After saying that, Xiao Ling took Zi Yan's little hand, her movements gentle and natural. Then, he took steps again and walked towards the exit of the exchange, his figure gradually moving away.
Cao Ying, who was behind her, also tried hard to suppress the shock in her heart. She calmed down slightly, and then quickly followed Xiao Ling and Zi Yan.
She was seen with light steps and graceful posture, and soon she was walking side by side with Xiao Ling and the others towards the exit of the exchange.
And when the people around him recovered from the shock, they all showed expressions of astonishment. You know, these people here are not ordinary people. Naturally, they have heard about spirit pregnancy dust and soul cultivation formulas.
With the help of these two precious things, as long as your foundation is not too bad, it is not impossible to become an eighth-level alchemist.
Everyone was thinking this in their hearts, and then they unanimously turned their attention to the sloppy old man. In their eyes, the look of envy that was originally revealed because the sloppy old man obtained the eighth-grade elixir had completely transformed into a look of ridicule at this time.
As for the sloppy old man, his face was dull and his eyes were extremely empty. What did he miss? He just traded a soul cultivation formula and pregnancy spirit dust.
You know, he is now a seventh-grade senior alchemist. With the help of soul cultivation formulas and pregnancy spirit dust, there is a high probability of becoming an eighth-level alchemist. But now, such a good thing was traded away by me.
Two eighth-grade three-color elixirs are extremely precious, but if you are promoted to an eighth-grade alchemist, wouldn't you be able to refine the eighth-grade elixirs as you like?
Endless regret surged in his heart, as if an invisible hand was holding his heart tightly. He stood there in a daze, the tattered copper piece and Xiao Ling's leaving figure constantly appearing in his mind, and regret overwhelmed him like a tide.
However, even if we now know the news, what can we do? He definitely didn't have the guts to ask Xiao Ling for it.
What kind of person is Xiao Ling? Based on his identity, how could he exchange the things he had already acquired in exchange for them again?
"I am lucky to get it, but I am losing my life. It seems that I really have no chance to reach the eighth level in this life. Maybe this is fate..." The sloppy old man let out a long sigh, full of emotions.
Then, he slowly returned to his previous lazy state and lay down on the ground.
However, at this time, in his eyes, all the previous casualness had faded away, replaced by gloom and loneliness...
…
"I just heard from people around me that many people have seen this copper piece, but they don't know what it is used for. It is neither a fighting skill nor a prescription. I also sensed it before, so I just looked at it. It's an ancient thing. How could you tell directly that there is spirit dust and soul formula in it? Are you trying to trick the old man just now and make him feel uncomfortable?"
After leaving the trading area, Cao Ying and Xiao Ling walked side by side and said casually.
A hint of curiosity can be clearly heard in his words. She was not only curious about whether the copper piece really contained those mysterious things as Xiao Ling said, but she was also curious about how Xiao Ling could detect it at a glance.
"Of course I won't lie to you. As for why you can't sense it but I can, it's naturally because your soul cultivation has not yet reached its peak.
When Xiao Ling heard Cao Ying's question, she raised the corners of her mouth slightly and made a joke. Then, he stretched out his hand and the copper piece fell into his hand. He placed the copper piece in the palm of his hand and played with it with interest.
When Cao Ying heard these words, she rolled her eyes at Xiao Ling angrily. That gesture was so charming and charming, attracting frequent glances from passers-by around her.
"Since you all know that there is pregnancy spirit dust hidden in this copper piece, can you trade some to me? No matter what you want, our Cao family can provide the corresponding resources to exchange with you. What do you think?" Cao Ying's eyes were filled with light. She approached Xiao Ling gently and whispered in his ear. Her mouth was slightly open and her breath was like orchid.
Cao Ying had seen and heard about pregnancy spirit dust in the Alchemy Pagoda books, and her impression was extremely profound.
This item can help people break through the spiritual realm and greatly enhance the spirituality of the soul. For alchemists, its value is simply inestimable.
Although Cao Ying's soul has now broken through to the spiritual realm, this pregnant spirit dust still has an effect that cannot be underestimated for her.
Knowing that Xiao Ling most likely had some such treasures in his hands, she naturally wanted to try it to see if she could exchange some for her own use.
Xiao Ling smiled and stretched out her hand, gently covered Cao Ying's forehead, pushed her head away from her ears, and said in a somewhat annoyed tone: "This is on the street, don't be so ridiculous. If others misunderstand, my reputation will be completely ruined."
After hearing this, Cao Ying immediately punched Xiao Ling's shoulder fiercely and said angrily: "Hmph, I am a dignified witch from the Cao family and one of the candidates for the Danta giant. Do you want to follow me?" Wouldn't it be a good idea to spread some scandal and tarnish your reputation?"
Xiao Ling looked at Cao Ying's angry look, which was indeed very good-looking, but he quickly looked away and stopped arguing with her. Instead, he changed the topic and said leisurely: "If you are thinking about that, "Pregnant Spirit Dust, I'll give you one when you get back, as a reward for taking me out for a stroll this time."
Xiao Ling thought about it briefly, and if he remembered correctly, there should be five grains of pregnancy spirit dust in this copper piece. Medusa, Little Medical Fairy, Ziyan and Qinglin each can get just one pill. After all, there is still one extra pill, which can be given to Cao Ying.
Xiao Ling had previously considered leaving a grain of pregnancy spirit dust for Xun'er, but then she thought about it. As the eldest lady of the ancient tribe, Xun'er would naturally have no shortage of training resources in this area.
If you want to give Xun'er a gift, then preparing it yourself would be a better choice. For Xun'er, the value of a gift does not lie in its material value, but in the intention contained in it. Sincere emotions and careful preparation are what she values most...
