Chapter 1085 Purchasing and Preparation!

Three days later.

The smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield has not yet dissipated, but a new round of tense atmosphere has quietly spread in the military camp.

However, the tense atmosphere in the camp did not affect the monks who had experienced many battles.

When the faint light of dawn just dyed the sky red, an open-air trading venue in the military camp was already bustling with activity.

This place was originally a spacious parade ground, but now it is filled with densely packed stalls and bustling crowds.

Since the war, countless monks have been killed or injured on both sides every day. In addition to the storage bags and spoils obtained by individuals, the alliance army will harvest a large amount of treasures every time it cleans up the battlefield. Therefore, mountains of spoils are continuously transported here.

Firstly, there was not much time within the alliance to deal with the spoils.

Secondly, the amount of supplies and spirit stones consumed daily within the alliance is a huge number, so the alliance is in urgent need of replenishing various supplies and spirit stones, and selling the spoils they have won in bulk is a good choice.

In addition, the monks who survived the battlefield also reaped different rewards.

Most of the spoils in their hands were useless, because most of them were treasures and resources used by the demon monks, so they needed to convert these spoils into what they needed, and this open-air trading field attracted more and more monks who came to set up stalls.

At this time in this open-air trading venue, managers and persons in charge sent by major shops, dressed in exquisite clothes, holding account books and magical instruments for identifying treasures, shuttled between the stalls with sharp eyes.

For businessmen, this is definitely a great place to make profits.

Because no matter what the outcome of the war is, it will not affect the business and status of the major shops. What's more, many large shops have extremely powerful backgrounds and their businesses are spread across several countries. Therefore, no matter who wins or loses the war, it has nothing to do with these shops.

On the contrary, war can bring unimaginable huge profits to major shops.

Because the spoils obtained from the battlefield must be sold no matter what.

If one wants to make a move, their shops become the first choice, because only they have the ability to digest large quantities of treasures, and only they have enough spirit stones to obtain those treasures.

For example, a cultivator obtained a third-grade low-quality flying knife magic weapon on the battlefield, but this flying knife was only suitable for use by demon cultivators, and it had been sacrificed and refined by someone, so its value was naturally much lower than that of an ownerless magic weapon.

In this case, the cultivator naturally had no use for the flying knife, so he could only trade it in exchange for spirit stones or things he needed.

Naturally, the managers of those shops would choose to take the flying knife, but they would lower the price a little bit. After getting it, they would transport it to the State of Chu through the internal channels of the shops for sale, and the price would not be low.

Buy at a low price and sell at a high price, you can naturally earn a lot of spirit stones by going in and out.

Therefore, the more spoils these shops buy, the more spirit stones they can earn. This has also created a scene where countless shops and merchants are flocking to the place, like cats smelling blood, and they keep running over.

The monks in the open-air trading area set up their stalls at this time, randomly displaying the magic weapons, talismans, elixirs and other items they had seized from the evil cultivators, and shouted loudly to attract customers.

The entire trading venue was bustling with noise, the sounds of bargaining, the collision of objects, and the exclamations of people identifying treasures. The air was also filled with the fragrance of spiritual herbs, the medicinal aroma of elixirs, and the unique eerie aura of magic cultivators' treasures.

It was in such an environment that Wei Hong, wearing a gray robe, disguised himself as an ordinary middle-aged man, and disguised his aura as that of an early Jindan, and then began to wander around the trading venue. He mingled with the crowd, casually scanning the surroundings, and from time to time stopped in front of a stall, seemingly casually flipping through the items on the stall, but in fact he was looking for what he needed.

His storage bag was filled with spoils obtained from the demon cultivators, including precious magical weapons and elixirs, but these things were of little use to him at the moment. What he most urgently needed at the moment was a large number of ghosts and spirit insects.

The ghosts are prepared for the purpose of casting the Ten Thousand Souls Gnawing Heart Curse. Since Wei Hong wants to attack Qi Huan, he must prepare a large number of ghosts, otherwise the power of the Ten Thousand Souls Gnawing Heart Curse will not be enough to affect Qi Huan.

The purpose of purchasing spirit insects was to obtain vitality points. Once he cursed Qi Huan recklessly, most of his blood essence and life span would be lost. At that time, a large amount of vitality points would be needed to restore the consumed blood essence and life span.

Of course, he would be even more happy if he could sell part of the spoils, after all, he had a lot of treasures.

Wei Hong shuttled through the bustling market, scanning the stalls with sharp eyes, looking for what he needed, and also looking to see if there were any suitable treasures.

Suddenly, an object on a stall caught his attention.

It was a pitch-black round bowl that looked to be about three inches tall and five inches in diameter. Its surface was engraved with strange runes and it gave off an eerie aura.

Wei Hong's heart moved, and he walked forward slowly.

"Fellow Daoist, how much is this round bowl?" Wei Hong asked straight to the point.

Those who can set up stalls here are not simple people. Even if they are just foundation-building cultivators, they have all survived several wars. Therefore, these people are not easy to fool. Wei Hong simply got straight to the point.

The stall owner was a tall and thin man with twinkling eyes. After sizing up Wei Hong, he said slowly, "Fellow Daoist, you have good eyesight. This is not an ordinary round bowl. It is called the Soul Gathering Bowl, which is specially used by the demonic monks to store ghosts and resentful souls.

There are over ten thousand ghosts in this soul-gathering bowl.

If you really want it, you can take it for one thousand middle-grade spirit stones!"

This stall owner also has the cultivation level of the early Golden Core stage, but his appearance is also ordinary.

Wei Hong frowned slightly, but did not answer immediately. Instead, he stopped, picked up the round bowl and examined it carefully.

He used his spiritual sense to probe into it and scanned it, and found that it indeed contained powerful Yin energy, and there were about 10,000 Yin souls stored in it, but most of them were the lowest-level Yin souls in the Qi training period, and those in the foundation-building period accounted for less than 10%.

Wei Hong gently put down the round bowl and immediately bargained lightly: "Five hundred medium-grade spirit stones. If you agree, we can trade immediately."

"Five hundred yuan? Impossible. It has to be at least nine hundred and fifty yuan, not a dollar less!" The stall owner immediately shook his head when he heard that, showing an extremely tough attitude.

However, Wei Hong's expression did not change. He just stood up and sneered, "This Soul Gathering Bowl is only a second-grade upper-grade magic weapon. Most of the souls stored in it are the lowest-level ghosts in the Qi training period. It is not very useful at all. If I didn't need a magic weapon to store ghosts recently, I really wouldn't like this Soul Gathering Bowl in my Taoist friend's hand!"

"The most I can offer is 550 mid-grade spirit stones!"

Asking for a high price, pay back on the spot!
This is a normal thing, and Wei Hong naturally understands it well.
