Qingcang Immortal Clan: Starting with Farming to Increase Luck

Chapter 93 Broken Sword

"Three hundred spirit stones."

Three hundred spirit stones!

The rogue cultivator's eyes widened immediately. "Why don't you just rob it?"

As Lu Yang arranged the things, he glanced at him and said, "Isn't this a bad idea?"

The rogue cultivator was momentarily speechless. What? They were really planning to rob him?

He shook his head. "Too expensive."

"This magic artifact is definitely of excellent quality among mid-grade magic artifacts. If I didn't have a need for it, why would I put it out for sale? Even if you smash it to pieces, it's still better than ordinary mid-grade magic artifacts."

"The market price is what it is; even a regular mid-grade magic weapon costs two hundred spirit stones. This kind of magic weapon is too cheap for me. Do you think that's reasonable?"

"This is, after all, a magic artifact used by evil cultivators. Ordinary people wouldn't know how to use it. If you want to sell it, you can only lower the price. Besides, how come an ordinary mid-grade magic artifact costs two hundred spirit stones? We can buy it for just over one hundred."

"Yes, I lowered the price, otherwise why would I only ask for three hundred?"

"No, it's too expensive. Can you make it cheaper?"

"Then you should offer a price. But let's make this clear beforehand: I don't like to dawdle. I'll give you one chance. If you offer too low, you can just leave."

The rogue cultivator was even more frustrated upon hearing this. He did indeed want to buy a mid-grade offensive magic weapon, but he couldn't afford the expensive ones and didn't want the ordinary ones. Seeing that there was an exchange meeting, he simply came out to take a look.

After wandering around, he happened to see Lu Yang taking out a magical artifact, and he immediately took a liking to this bone club artifact.

With his keen eye, how could he not see that the bone staff magic weapon was already very close to a high-grade magic weapon, which suited his taste perfectly?

As for his appearance, that doesn't matter. He's just a rogue cultivator and doesn't care about those things.

However, Lu Yang was really hard to talk to, and his temper didn't seem very good. He only allowed one bargaining attempt. Three hundred spirit stones was definitely unacceptable, but he was afraid that Lu Yang would take advantage of him since he hadn't offered enough.

As more people gather, there will likely be some who covet this magical artifact. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Two hundred and sixty, that's the most I can offer."

Lu Yang picked up the bone club magic weapon and threw it directly to the rogue cultivator.

"make a deal."

Ah!

That's the deal!

The rogue cultivator was completely bewildered, but Lu Yang was impatient. "Do you still want it or not?"

The rogue cultivator couldn't remain confused any longer, so he quickly handed over the spirit stones and the items, though he wondered if he had given too much. Actually, it wasn't much; the quality of the magic weapon was worth the price. It was just that he was used to haggling, and today's situation was definitely not his forte.

Lu Yang accepted the spirit stones and was quite satisfied. After all, this bone club magic weapon would only sell for two hundred and thirty or forty spirit stones at most in Qingcang Market. That's the recycling price. If it were kept in the Lu family, it would be even cheaper.

Surprisingly, the things Lu Yang brought out were quite popular with the rogue cultivators.

Most of the family cultivators disdained it, but many independent cultivators frequented it. Lu Yang sold most of the magic artifacts in no time.

As for those spiritual items, quite a few were sold, very smoothly, and I quickly accumulated over three thousand spirit stones in my hand.

Seeing that no one was interested in the remaining items, Lu Yang simply went to the small shop that the Lu family had temporarily set up to sell them all. The prices were definitely not what he wanted, but since it was his own family, it didn't matter if he charged less. After all, the root of the problem was still within his own family.

With nearly four thousand spirit stones in his pocket, Lu Yang strode confidently through the exchange meeting, showing no regard for family or friends.

After recuperating for a few days, Lu Yang was free of misfortune. His luck was probably not too bad at this point, and he might even encounter some good things.

At the very least, we can see if there are any suitable ritual implements.

"This sword!"

When the stall owner saw Lu Yang stop, he was initially delighted, but when he saw that Lu Yang was pointing to a broken sword, he immediately lost interest.

"A broken spirit sword, worth one thousand spirit stones."

Ah!

Lu Yang felt that the tables had turned, and he couldn't help but blurt out, "Go ahead and steal it!"

I was hoping to snag a bargain, but this stall owner just came up with a broken spirit weapon sword. So he knows about spirit weapons? What's the point of picking it up? With that money, he could probably buy a decent, low-grade magic weapon.

Why bother with a broken sword? It's definitely unusable now, you can only sell it for materials. But even if it's a magical weapon, its magic is gone, and the materials won't fetch much money. It's no wonder it won't sell.

"One hundred spirit stones, that's all."

"make a deal.""

Ah!

Lu Yang was stunned. The deal was done just like that? Wasn't it supposed to be 1,000 spirit stones now?

"Do you still want it?"

Seeing the impatient stall owner, Lu Yang had no choice but to hand over the spirit stones and put away his broken sword. How familiar this scene was! It really was a matter of karma.

As he walked, Lu Yang carefully examined the broken sword, confirming that it was indeed a broken spiritual weapon.

Whether it's a magic weapon or a spiritual artifact, it needs to be nurtured after it gets damaged. Just like equipment in a game, it has durability. If it's not nurtured and is used recklessly, it will eventually lose its spiritual light and power.

Of course, if it is damaged too badly in battle, like this broken sword, then it won't even have a chance to be nurtured. It can only be reforged or sold as a defective product.

Even if it's damaged, it's still a material for a spiritual weapon. You know, a low-grade spiritual weapon can easily sell for thousands of spirit stones, and even if it's sold as scrap, it can still fetch a few hundred spirit stones.

After all, it can also yield a lot of defective second-tier spiritual materials. These defective products may not be suitable for refining spiritual artifacts, but adding them to magical artifacts will definitely be of great benefit.

Although this broken spiritual weapon sword didn't look very real at first glance, Lu Yang had studied identification at the Dao Academy since childhood, so he could still see some resemblance to it.

Most importantly, the Fate-Breaking Bead reacted. Anything that can make the Fate-Breaking Bead react must be of good value. What was the stall owner thinking, selling a broken spirit sword for only 100 spirit stones?

Grand opening sale? Or clearance sale?

"Fool!"

Unbeknownst to Lu Yang, after he left, the stall owner glanced at him, muttered something under his breath, and then took out another broken sword from his storage bag and placed it on the stall.

Broken Sword, a magical artifact?

Are you kidding me?

With such a good thing, would he put it on a stall to sell? Some time ago, he found a senior's cave dwelling, and to his surprise, it turned out to be a sword pool.

The so-called sword pool is a place used by some sword-training sects to nurture their swords. The swords in such sword pools must at least be magical artifacts.

A whole pool of magical artifacts! We've struck it rich!

But upon closer inspection, his face fell. The spiritual liquid in the sword pool had dried up, clearly due to the poison of time, and had long been absorbed by these magical artifacts.

Looking at those magical artifacts again, they no longer seemed to possess any spiritual power.

I'm so frustrated! What was supposed to be a chance to get rich has come too late, and now I can only sell it as junk.

Good quality items are sold at a price lower than low-grade magic weapons, while those in poor condition, like these damaged swords lying at the bottom of the pool, can only be artificially aged and sold to fools.

There are no magical artifacts or broken swords; they're all techniques, sold only to those with the right affinity.

Those of good quality didn't even sell for a hundred spirit stones, so this was undoubtedly a profit. He usually did this, but there weren't many fools willing to take the bait. Today was a great start.

Lu Yang, of course, had no idea what the stall owner was thinking. Otherwise, even if he bought the broken spirit weapon sword and made a fortune, he would still have to stab the stall owner in the back; he was too cheap.

Continuing down, there aren't many opportunities to find bargains, since the cultivators here are mainly from families who have been trained since childhood, so their discerning eyes are generally quite good.

"How much is this talisman pen?"

"A sincere offer of 1,500."

The prices are about the same; that's how magic items are priced. Low-grade magic items generally cost around thirty spirit stones, while high-quality ones only cost about double that.

The average price of a mid-grade Buddhist artifact is just over one hundred, while those in good condition can reach three hundred, but these are rare.

Just like that bone club magic weapon, it's in pretty good condition. If it were to come across a wicked cultivator with a keen eye, it could still fetch three hundred spirit stones, since it's practically a high-grade magic weapon.

The price of a high-quality magic weapon is generally around 500 spirit stones, and those in good condition can be added by another 200 or 300 spirit stones.

Top-grade magical artifacts are more expensive, costing over a thousand.

Talisman pens are more expensive than ordinary magical artifacts, costing two or three hundred spirit stones more. This top-grade talisman pen is of good quality, and at 1,500 spirit stones, it's a reasonable price.

This is still a talisman brush; alchemy furnaces and cauldrons have a much higher premium.

Doubling is also common.

Of course, you can't just agree to a fair price without negotiation; you still need to bargain.

"One thousand and three."

"That's too much of a cut. If you really want it, I'll reduce the price by fifty spirit stones, but that's the lowest I can go."

"Then let's lower the price a bit more, 1400. Top-grade talisman brushes are hard to sell, getting the spirit stones in hand is what really matters."

This!

After a moment's hesitation, the stall owner handed over the talisman brush. Lu Yang was telling the truth. In the four western prefectures, the highest cultivation level was only Foundation Establishment. Only recently had the Lu family produced a Golden Core cultivator.

Before the Foundation Establishment stage, there aren't many at the peak of Qi Refining, and top-grade talisman masters are even rarer, not much more numerous than those at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Talisman masters are not as wealthy as alchemists. Some top-tier talisman masters still use high-grade talisman pens to draw talismans, so it's true that high-grade talisman pens are hard to sell here.

The stall owner was a rogue cultivator at the peak of Qi Refining. He was lucky this time, as he killed a rogue cultivator at the peak of Qi Refining and obtained this talisman pen from his storage bag.

However, he didn't know how to draw talismans, so even if he got a talisman pen, he could only sell it.

In the midst of battle, it would be unwise to hoard the talisman brushes. Selling them, obtaining spirit stones, and converting them into strength is the only wise course of action.

Paying 1,400 is definitely a small loss, but it's really hard to find a buyer like that.

Thinking of this, the stall owner gritted his teeth and sold it. Lu Yang was also delighted. Top-grade talisman brushes are hard to find. Even the Lu family doesn't have one. In the Western Four Counties, top-grade talisman brushes are hard to sell, and this one is also hard to sell.

There's too little stock, so buying and selling depends entirely on luck.

Now that Lu Yang is a mid-grade talisman master, whether it's drawing talismans or refining pills, you can only use low-grade talisman brushes and pill furnaces. Drawing talismans and refining pills will only drag down the success rate. Using good talisman brushes and pill furnaces will also improve the success rate.

If you have enough money, you'll naturally go for it in one go, but these opportunities are really rare.

With the money and goods exchanged, Lu Yang continued forward, buying a mid-grade pill furnace for four hundred spirit stones and a pair of top-grade magic boots for one thousand one hundred spirit stones.

These boots truly delighted Lu Yang. They were made from wind-attribute materials, and when combined with Lu Yang's Wind-Infused Movement Technique, they could significantly enhance his power, whether in combat or in escaping.
