Aspiring to the Immortal Path
Vol 4 Chapter 11: Mirage stone
Because of the secret market, there are really many good things here, such as the Zijin needed by Wei Tianchong, which is sold in several stalls here, and the price is cheap. A fist-sized piece of purple gold can be sold for more than two or three thousand lings in Wenxin's country, but it may not be possible to buy it. Here, the asking price is only one thousand eight hundred yuan. If you can counter-offer, you can buy it from 800 to 1,200.
This is mainly because precious resources such as Zijin are not for sale to the outside world, but controlled by the martial arts, controlling exports, not to mention the limited quantity, and the high price, which naturally results in high prices. And this secret market, to put it bluntly, is the smuggling market and illicit goods market in the realm of Xiuxian. Without those many intermediate links, the price will naturally drop by a large margin.
In the final analysis, Zijin is only refined from the ore produced underground. It has almost no cost in itself, and eight hundred lings of money is already a huge profit.
According to the rules of the evil gang, every piece of goods sold here must be charged 20% of the price. This commission is not low, but even so, this is still a very profitable business.
Wei Tian settled the account. He came here this time with a total of 10,000 yuan. If all the materials were used to buy materials and then brought back to sell, the price would at least double, and the profit would be equivalent to 100%.
This made him excited. In the end, he came from a family of merchants. Wei Tianchong seemed to have found a way to make money. He grabbed Tang Jie and said, "This business is worth doing, Tang Jie, this is a return to capital versus profit. Didn't we send out the sale of one hundred thousand million yuan?"
Tang Jie looked at him coldly: "Do you have a million spiritual money?"
Wei Tianchong was dumb at once, let alone he didn't, even Weifu didn't.
Besides, with so much money, there may not necessarily be such a big market.
"Also, this secret market is only once a year. There are also high risks along the way. It takes more manpower and time to buy and sell goods. You and I have to practice, and there is no energy to deal with. I really have to worry about this kind of thing, the money is earned. , What about cultivation? Have you ever heard of a great power who started doing business? Or think that as long as you find a way to get rich, you can sit there and enjoy it?" Tang Jie added.
Wei Tian rushed and scratched his head: "I am also worried about money."
Even young masters, there are times when they worry about money.
After Wei Tianchong became a true biography, the money Weifu gave him did not increase, but actually decreased.
There is no way, the resources spent on cultivating immortals are too great, even the big family can not support such a huge consumption for many years, so they usually provide a lot of resources for their children in the early stage to lay the foundation, and then they must reduce their investment in the later stage.
Generally speaking, when students reach the Linghai Stage, they have a lot of trial tasks, so they must make money on their own. At this time, the family investment and their own money are equally divided.
When the students enter the world, the family investment will be further reduced.
When you go up to the next level, break away from the peak or enter the heart of heaven, it's time for the cultivator to give feedback to the family.
For this reason, don't look at Wei Tianchong bringing ten thousand dollars this time. In fact, only five thousand of the ten thousand dollars was given by the Weifu, and the remaining five thousand was saved by himself over the past two years.
Because it is passing by, and he is a repairer himself, with a mustard bag in his body, safety and transportation costs are extremely low, so these profits can be made. Strictly speaking, this is not profit. It just saves expenses. To become profit, you have to continue to spend time selling after returning to China.
For those caravans, after deducting a large amount of manpower and material resources and possible risk losses, 100% of the profit is good enough for an average of 20 to 30% of profit per trip.
It’s hard to say that the unlucky person was robbed several times in a row, and his family went bankrupt.
But that's what Tang Jie said, "We can't do it, Weifu can still do it. After you go back, you can tell your wife about the situation here, and Weifu will do the business. There should be no problem. ."
"This is a good idea." Shi Meng also supported.
To open up another source of financial resources for Weifu is to earn more cultivation resources for yourself.
During the conversation, the three of them did not forget their business. Wei Tianchong had bought a piece of purple gold and was looking for other materials.
Tang Jie also walked around, looking for what he needed.
As he was walking, Tang Jie saw an item on a stall not far away.
It was a piece of black wood, about one foot long, rounded all over, with red lines on the wood.
Seeing this thing, Tang Jie walked over and said, "Can I pick it up and have a look?"
The one who set up the stall was a middle-aged man. Hearing this, he replied in a rough voice: "This is a thousand-year-old blood-grained wooden heart. It is worth ten thousand yuan. Ten pieces of spiritual jade are under the pressure, whatever you want."
"I use this mortgage." Tang Jie took out two sides of soft fragrant jade and placed them on the stage. The middle-aged man saw that it was nephrite jade, and his eyes flashed immediately.
Tang Jie had picked up that Mu Xin and looked at it carefully.
Bloodgrain wood is a good material for cultivation, whether it is making puppets, arranging formations, or even refining tools.
Thousand-year goods are not easy to obtain, so Tang Jie didn't take the word "thousand-year" in his heart, thinking that it would be good for a hundred years. But as the blood-grain wood started, Tang Jie discovered that this middle-aged man was really not blowing.
Bloodgrain wood is extremely heavy wood, the longer the age, the heavier the weight. Holding this small piece of blood-grained wood in his hand, it weighs at least a hundred catties. I'm afraid it's really thousands of years old, and I don't know where he got it.
If that were the case, 10,000 yuan would be really not expensive, but because of this, Tang Jie was suspicious instead.
Tang Jie looked carefully, and finally found the problem.
This blood-grained wooden heart looks like a whole, but if you look closely, you can find that there are faint cracks.
This means that this is very likely to have been opened, but the blood-grain wood has self-healing properties, and gradually compensates for the broken place, leaving only a few gaps.
In other words, this blood-grain wood was artificially faked, and most of it was stuffed with metal to increase its weight. This counterfeiter is also considered diligent, using real blood-grain wood to fake it, just to increase the age, and the cost is not low, that is, the metal used to increase the weight is also of the spiritual material level. If it weren't for Tang Jie's insight, it would not be easy to find out.
"It's a pity..." Tang Jie sighed and whispered, "In order to create a fake thousand-year-old blood-grained wooden heart, he just ruined a real blood-grained wooden heart."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The middle-aged man changed his expression upon hearing the words and glared at Tang Jie.
Tang Jie just shook his head and put it down. He was about to retrieve his own things. The middle-aged man had already pressed the back of Tang Jie's hand: "Boy, don't buy it if you don't buy it. What do you mean by slander? I understand, don't want to take the collateral!"
"Why? Fancy my baby?" Tang Jie smiled. He leaned over to the middle-aged man and whispered: "While there are not many people now, everyone goes their own way. If it really makes a lot of noise, it will be difficult to make a fool's business."
The middle-aged man laughed hehe: "You scared me? You don't see where this is. I tell you, if you don't tell me today, I really can't let you go."
Tang Jie sighed.
If he wants to prove that the other party's blood-grained wood is fake, he can just pick it up and smash it, but this is equivalent to directly smashing the other party's job. After all, the cost and effort of the fake wood is also a lot.
Cutting off a person's wealth is like killing a parent. He didn't want to be troublesome, so he picked up the blood-grained wood again. I wanted to pretend to take a look and admit that I had read it wrong, but at this moment, my heart suddenly moved, my eyes focused on the blood-grained wood, and there was a faint feeling of passing through the wood.
He was surprised and happy in his heart, and staring at the blood-grained wood, he felt as if he had entered a whole new world.
The veins of the blood-grained wood are constantly magnified in his eyes, gradually filling the entire field of vision. Instead, there is a strange world in the wood. Every fiber and every stomata are magnified at this moment, just like the world under a microscope. , And even continue to penetrate into the interior.
Finally, his eyes passed through the wooden skin, showing a black metallic luster, like a claustrophobic and dark space...
"Hey, your kid is so talking!" The roar of the middle-aged man still blasted in Tang Jie's ears.
Tang Jie couldn't concentrate his attention anymore, and the scenery in front of him suddenly changed, as if he had returned to the world from that dark and mysterious world all of a sudden.
Tang Jie sighed and smiled: "It turns out to be Black Star Iron. No wonder it's so heavy."
As soon as he said this, the middle-aged man trembled.
How did he know that the black star iron was filled in the blood grain wood?
Seeing the performance of the other party, Tang Jie knew that he had not made a mistake.
This made his heart very excited. He never thought that his own way of insight could still play a role in this aspect. If this is the case, wouldn't it be better for him to find materials in the future, and no longer have to worry about being deceived or missing good things.
Forcibly suppressing the joy in his heart, Tang Jie coldly looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Let go!"
The middle-aged man no longer dared to stop Tang Jie, so he could only watch him take things back.
Tang Jie already smiled and said, "Buy it for three hundred dollars, and I will shut up, otherwise you won't want to sell it again."
While speaking, he vomited inwardly and made the cracks on the blood-grain wood more obvious. Since this person made fakes and tried to plot himself, he didn't mind blackmailing him, and at the same time cheated the other party.
Next, Tang Jie turned around all the way, experimenting everywhere with his new perception of insight.
He soon discovered that the Eye of Insight does not work on every material. The more high-quality items, the more difficult it is to penetrate the Eye of Insight. In addition, some advanced materials have strong spirituality in themselves, and the eye of insight is not enough to penetrate the inside.
For example, soft jade will not work.
But in any case, at least 70% of the goods in this secret market had no secrets in Tang Jie's eyes. He could know the authenticity of many things at a glance, but unfortunately he could not find any secret treasures.
At this moment, Tang Jie was turning, and Weitian Conflict suddenly squeezed over and waved to Tang Jie: "Tang Jie, come and see this."
I saw Wei Tianchong beckoning to himself with a small piece of broken jade in his hand.
Tang Jie took it and took a closer look, and said, "This is a fragment of soul jade? Where did you find it?"
Soul jade is a kind of extremely rare spiritual material ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ can be placed on the soul, cultivate spiritual consciousness, is a treasure in the eyes of high-level cultivators. It's a pity that this piece in Wei Tianchong's hand is just a fragment, and the effect has been greatly lost, otherwise it would not be possible to appear in this secret market.
"It's at the stall over there. It only costs 800 yuan, not bad?" Wei Tianchong said proudly.
"Yes, it's genuine." Tang Jie exclaimed.
If this thing is placed on the puppet, it can greatly enhance the effect of Wei Tianchong's black water spiritism.
"Anything else?" Tang Jie asked.
"It seems there is one more piece."
Tang Jie hurriedly walked over, and sure enough, there was still a fragment on the stall. After checking it, it was found that it was also genuine. Tang Jie asked Wei Tianchong to buy it for him.
Wei Tianchong wondered: "You don't know how to send your soul to black water, what do you want it to do?"
"I have my use." Tang Jie said with a smile.
When he came here this time, he planned to buy something that could be used to entrust his soul, but he didn't find it after searching around, but he didn't expect Wei Tian to find it.
At this moment, he habitually swept around, Tang Jie was waiting to leave, suddenly stopped and looked back, looking at a mirage stone on the stall.
The mirage stone comes from a giant beast in the sea called a mirage, which has the effect of spreading shadows. It was this thing that Ji Wugui on Wind Demon Island used to control the Jiugong Mitian Formation.
The piece in front of Tang Jie was much smaller than the one on Wind Demon Island, it was only about one-fifth of the size on Wind Demon Island, and it was still a rough stone, not polished, and of average quality.
What really made Tang Jie care about was that when he looked at this mirage stone, he habitually used the method of insight, only to find that there was something in the mirage stone.
Tang Jie simply took the mirage stone in his hand and looked at it carefully. It was a pity that he couldn't see the inside clearly even with his full vision. After his vision went deep into the interior, it seemed to have been swallowed by something, which surprised Tang Jie.
