Chapter 397 Cheap Water Spirit Iron (3000 words, please subscribe)
Half a day later.
The edge of Guiling Island.
Ling Pengyun waved his hand and patted the beast bag on his waist, summoned the black-shelled turtle, and pulled Qian Fei, who was surprised to see such a big turtle, to jump onto the shell of the black-shelled turtle.
"Master, why is this turtle so big?" Qian Fei curiously touched the wide shell of the black-shelled turtle under her feet and asked Ling Pengyun curiously.
Ling Pengyun is already a father, and he is very patient to answer the questions raised by the little girl Qian Fei.
"This is not an ordinary turtle, it is a demon beast that can practice. Now this turtle has been tamed by me and has become my spirit beast."
"And this turtle is called the black-shelled turtle, and its main means is defense."
"You can take a look at this demon beast book."
After saying that, Ling Pengyun took out a demon beast book left in his early years from the storage bag and handed it to Qian Fei.
Qian Fei is also quite interested in the demon beasts in the world of cultivation, and she immediately flipped through it curiously.
Ling Pengyun also followed suit, signaling to sit down on the black-armored turtle, dive into the water, and head towards the largest Muyuan Market in the Muyuan Sea.
At the same time, he also sat cross-legged and continued to comprehend the breath-retaining technique recorded in the Blue Sea Sutra.
...
Half a month later.
The black-armored turtle finally arrived outside the Muyuan Island where the Muyuan Market was located. The Muyuan Market was on the edge of the Muyuan Island, and the traces of the market could be seen from afar with the naked eye.
Ling Pengyun also put away the black-armored turtle, took Qian Fei, went up to the Muyuan Island, and entered the Muyuan Market.
Walking on the avenue of this medium-sized market, looking at the monks passing by and the prosperity in the market.
Ling Pengyun had an idea.
"Although this market is a medium-sized market, it is located next to the residence of the Nascent Soul Sect, the Mu Yuan Xian Sect. I think there should be a lot of water-based spiritual iron in this market."
His magic weapon, the conical-layered Bi Hai Zhong Yuan Baozhu, needs a full 100,000 kilograms of water-based spiritual iron to be tempered to the level of a third-level magic weapon.
This amount of water-based spiritual iron is not small, and at least two small water-based spiritual iron veins need to be dug out.
If Ling Pengyun wants to raise this batch of spiritual iron after returning to the family, even with the help of his cousin Yang Siling, it will take decades.
After all, Bailingmen is also extremely short of spiritual iron. No matter how powerful Yang Siling is, she cannot directly hand over this huge amount of spiritual iron to Ling Pengyun.
Ling Pengyun can't wait for decades.
In addition, buying a large amount of water-based spiritual iron from his cousin Yang Siling also requires a purchase price that exceeds 30% of the market price.
Otherwise, the cultivators under the command of the other Jindan Zhenren of Bailingmen will also stop this.
The two difficulties of long time and high price were in front of him, and Ling Pengyun immediately made up his mind.
Immediately, he took Xiao Qianfei along the main road and entered the most prosperous area of the market, a shop directly under the Muyuan Immortal Sect, called "Muyuan Jubao Pavilion".
As soon as he entered the shop, a beautiful maid with a curvy figure, who looked only about 19 or 20 years old, came to greet him.
"Senior, I wonder what you want to buy?"
Ling Pengyun made his intention clear.
"I wonder if your shop will sell first-level water spirit iron?"
The beautiful maid's eyes lit up when she heard it.
Because her cultivation level was only in the middle stage of Qi training, and Ling Pengyun used the breath-retaining technique, it was difficult for her to detect Ling Pengyun's cultivation level, so she directly called Ling Pengyun "senior".
"Senior, you are at the right place. Some time ago, our sect discovered a large-scale first-grade medium-quality water-containing iron ore vein in the Whale Sea. The ore vein can produce tens of thousands of kilograms of water-based spiritual iron every day."
"It even produces a lot of second- and third-grade water-containing spiritual iron."
"As long as the senior has spiritual stones, our shop can produce first-grade water-based spiritual iron."
Ling Pengyun was shocked when he heard this.
The large-scale spiritual iron ore vein is at least 100,000 feet long, and the mineral content is at least between one million and ten million.
Even if that large spiritual iron ore vein is only a first-grade water-containing spiritual iron ore vein, it can at least produce spiritual iron worth more than five million spiritual stones.
Not to mention, the large-scale first-grade medium-quality water-containing spiritual iron ore vein will also produce some high-grade water-containing spiritual iron. Even the fourth-grade water-containing spiritual iron may be found in that ore vein.
It's just that the owner of the ore vein, Mu Yuan Xianzong, is unwilling to pass on such precious things.
Under such circumstances, the total value of the mineral vein would only be more than 5 million spiritual stones.
Ling Pengyun thought of something and asked the maid.
"Fairy, was the beast tide encountered in the Wrathful Whale Market a hundred days ago caused by the mineral vein?"
The beautiful maid replied. "The senior's guess is correct. Most of the sea monsters are good at water, which also makes the number of Jindan monsters that need water-based spiritual iron to refine their own magic tools and magic treasures large."
"These monsters above the Jindan stage have a great demand for water-based spiritual iron. After the sea monsters around the Angry Whale Sea learned about the water-containing iron ore vein, they all broke into the Angry Whale Sea of our sect."
"Although the water-containing iron ore vein discovered by our sect is located in the inner circle of the Angry Whale Sea, the Angry Whale Market is the facade of the Angry Whale Sea."
"If those sea monsters want to occupy the ore vein, they need to break through the Angry Whale Market, otherwise our sect can rely on the Angry Whale Market to trap and kill all the monsters that break into the Angry Whale Sea."
"This will cause the Angry Whale Market to be attacked by everyone."
"But how can those sea monsters break through the Angry Whale Market built by our sect."
"Our sect leader Mu Yuan Zhenjun and the great elder Qing Yuan Zhenjun who has been in seclusion for a hundred years have all rushed to the Whale Market."
"With these two Zhenjuns in charge, our sect will definitely be able to keep the Whale Market safe."
"If it weren't for my low strength, I would really like to go to the Whale Market to participate in the war and earn a lot of merit by hunting monsters."
Ling Pengyun looked at the maid with a look of regret and smiled. He felt that the maid was a little naive.
If it was really that easy to get merit in the Whale Market, why would the Mu Yuan Xianzong send two Yuanying Zhenjuns to the Whale Market to take charge.
Even the Qing Yuan Zhenjun who had not been born for a hundred years was alarmed.
Only the Huamu Zhenjun who had just entered the Yuanying realm stayed in the sect for nearly a hundred years.
This move is enough to show that the Whale Market is likely to be in danger.
"How is the price of your store's first-grade medium-quality water-containing spiritual iron?" Ling Pengyun asked.
"If the amount of spiritual iron you want to buy is within a thousand catties, our store can sell it to you at 35 spiritual stones for 10 catties."
"And if the amount of spiritual iron you want to buy is within 10,000 catties, or even more than 10,000 catties, our store will have to calculate it at 40 spiritual stones for 10 catties." The maid who lost her composure came back to her senses and answered immediately.
Ling Pengyun was quite satisfied with the price after hearing this.
The first-grade medium-quality water-containing spiritual iron in the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World is worth 5 spiritual stones per catty.
It is because the Boundless Sea Cultivation World has many water veins, and many water-containing mineral veins are produced, and there is no shortage of water-containing spiritual iron, which makes the price of water-containing spiritual iron about 30% cheaper than that in the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World.
In any case, buying water-containing spiritual iron in this Boundless Sea Cultivation World is at least 40% to 50% cheaper than that in the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World.
As for the additional price of buying more spiritual iron, it is also because spiritual iron can be used to forge magic tools. If you sell spiritual iron directly, you will suffer a loss. If others buy more, the store will naturally increase the price to make up for some losses.
"Then I will give you 10,000 kilograms. By the way, do you have any spiritual objects that can enhance your life span in your store?"
Ling Pengyun told the amount of spiritual iron that had been agreed upon.
There were a total of 50,000 spiritual stones in his storage bag, which he and Ling Yunhong brought out when they left home.
The two originally planned to use this amount of spiritual stones to rent the sect's formation when they broke through the golden elixir.
However, the sect lent the formation to Ling Pengyun for free, so the 50,000 spiritual stones were saved.
After all, this amount of spiritual stones was taken by the two from the clan treasury. Considering that Ling Pengyun returned to the clan early and had some assets, the clan leader Ling Yunhong gave this batch of spiritual stones to Ling Pengyun, intending to let Ling Pengyun take this amount of spiritual stones back to the clan.
If Ling Pengyun had not thought of the boundless sea area where there were many water spirit irons, he would not have used this public fund.
When the maid heard the amount of ore required, her eyes flashed.
"Senior, of course there are things that can increase lifespan in the store, including the first-grade high-quality longevity pill that can increase lifespan by three years, which is priced at 500 spirit stones, the longevity shell that can increase lifespan by three years, which is priced at 500 spirit stones... The second-grade low-quality longevity shell that can increase lifespan by six years is priced at 1,000 spirit stones."
"There are no higher-level things that can increase lifespan in our sect's Jubao Pavilion."
"Then bring six second-grade low-quality longevity shells." Ling Pengyun nodded.
Immediately, the maid smiled and invited Ling Pengyun to a quiet room in the Jubao Pavilion, and asked Ling Pengyun to wait for a while.
Then, the beautiful female cultivator left the quiet room.
When the door of the quiet room was opened again, a late-stage foundation-building cultivator with good fortune and wearing gorgeous clothes walked in with a string of storage beads.
Earlier, the maid followed behind the cultivator in gorgeous clothes.
"Daoyou, I am the manager of this store. The 10,000 jin of first-grade medium-grade water-containing spiritual iron and the six second-grade low-grade longevity shells you want this time are all in it."
The manager in gorgeous clothes handed the string of storage beads in his hand to Ling Pengyun and said.
Just after Ling Pengyun took the storage beads, he immediately felt a hidden aura of the formation.
I am afraid that if he moves abnormally, he will be attacked by the formation.
He can understand this.
His spiritual sense probed into the storage beads and saw that the amount of spiritual iron and the grade of the longevity shells were correct, so he took out 46,000 spiritual stones.
The manager in gorgeous clothes saw this and looked happy and smiled. "Daoyou, if you still want to buy water spirit iron in the future, I will definitely give you a 95% discount."
Ling Pengyun was quite tempted when he heard this.
A 95% discount may not seem like much, but if you buy a large amount of water spirit iron, you can have a lot of spirit stones left.
"If so, when you have saved enough spirit stones in the future, it is not impossible to come to this boundless sea area to buy water spirit iron."
Ling Pengyun's heart moved.
Thinking back, he answered the question, then said goodbye to the manager and left this "Muyuan Jubao Pavilion".
