Do not die

After leaving Wang's Rice Shop, Meng Zhou went to find Wu Tong again.

When the other party saw him, his whole face was filled with smiles.

But what Meng Zhou said shocked him, who was full of expectations.

"What? You don't want to buy talisman materials? But you want to buy weapon refining materials?"

Wu Tong wanted to say, I am just a seller of talisman materials. When did you see me selling weapon refining materials?

He was about to refuse out loud, but Meng Zhou's next words blocked the words he wanted to evade in his throat.

"What I want to buy are all wood-type spiritual materials, and nothing else is included.

In addition, I will pay you 10% of the fee as a reward. "

After making the request, when Wu Tong stayed there and said nothing, Meng Zhou asked, "How about it? Do you want to take this job?"

Wu Tong suddenly woke up and quickly nodded in agreement: "Take it, take it, of course I will take it!"

The production of talisman materials also requires spiritual materials, but they are mainly concentrated in various types of wood spiritual materials and the blood, bones and fur of monster beasts.

This is the only thing he can do.

The spiritual materials required for refining weapons cover a much wider range than this, and a large part of them are concentrated on various spiritual minerals.

It is to refine wooden magic weapons, or to use the remains of monster beasts as raw materials to refine some special magic weapons. Some high-quality mineral spiritual materials are also indispensable.

But for these, he had no channels at all.

It's not that he can't buy it, but it is the normal market price. What's the point of him going through this many times?

But the other party stated that all the required materials were wood spiritual materials. Doesn't this coincide with the resources he has access to?

What's more, the reward is 10% of the transaction price!

It's just a thread in the middle.

You would be a fool not to agree quickly!

After agreeing, Wu Tongcai then asked for some more specific information, such as what kind of spiritual material it was, its quality level, etc.

Meng Zhou thought for a while and asked, "Now, what can you get me?"

He only needs wood spiritual materials that are rich in spirituality. As for the specific type and its quality level, he doesn't care too much.

To be honest, just like when he went to the Treasure Pavilion to buy magic swords, he hoped that the characteristics of the spiritual materials would be simpler and not contain too many unique attributes, which is the most popular and common spiritual materials in general evaluations.

Wu Tong thought carefully and reported the names of five wood-type spiritual materials. After some consideration, Meng Zhou said the answer in his heart: "Green Spirit Wood."

This is the one that best meets his expectations, that is, a pure wood spiritual material with no other additional properties.

In the evaluation of other weapon refiners, it is "medium" and "unremarkable", but in his case, it is the most cost-effective.

"Wait for me for half an hour..." Wu Tong was about to turn around, but suddenly stopped and said somewhat sarcastically: "Can you come with me?"

Meng Zhou was not afraid of his tricks and followed him directly.

Wu Tong also explained the reason. He put too many spirit stones on the raw materials of the talisman and did not have enough spirit stones to complete the transfer operation of the Qingling Wood. He could only make an intermediate recommendation now.

Having said this, he looked at Meng Zhou and asked with some anticipation and nervousness: "Aren't you going to buy the talisman this time?"

Meng Zhou shook his head. He now had no shortage of talisman materials. Excluding the talisman materials purchased at the True Talisman Hall and collected in the Zhouquan Storage Bag, he had purchased more than 3,000 talismans from Wu Tong alone.

Although many of them have been turned into high-quality cleansing talismans and light body talismans and sealed in the spirit sealing box, he still has no shortage of talisman materials to use in a short period of time, so there is no need to rush to buy more.

Seeing him shaking his head, Wu Tong's expression immediately turned ugly.

Meng Zhou guessed that last time he spent nearly 500 spirit stones to buy 2,100 talisman materials from him. He could not have so many in stock. Many of them should have been transferred from his peers, and there was no profit. Completely left on hand.

After learning the lesson from last time, he packed more goods in his hands, waiting for him to come to the door again.

If there is no big customer like myself to take over, just by setting up stalls, it may not be possible to clear everything in a month or two.

Although he had his own reasons for taking this step, Meng Zhou didn't feel any guilt at all and just said:

"I bought too many talismans last time. It will take a while for the next purchase."

After hearing this, Wu Tong's expression softened slightly. At least, there was hope for "next time".

Wu Tong led Meng Zhou into an alley, came to a small courtyard, and knocked on the door.

Soon, a middle-aged monk with a weathered look on his face opened the door. His eyes swept over the two of them, and finally landed on Wu Tong, and asked:

"Wu Tong, are you looking for me?"

Wu Tongtong: "Fellow Daoist Chen, I know that you have a green spirit tree in your hand, so I came here to take a look."

When the middle-aged monk surnamed Chen heard this, he first looked at him, then at Meng Zhou who was standing aside, stepped aside and said, "Come in."

In the living room.

A piece of spiritual wood was placed on the wooden table.

This piece of spiritual wood is nearly three feet high and about two feet in diameter.

The cross section is very smooth, as if a sharp sword had been cut from a whole tree.

There are clear traces of growth rings in the cross section of the spirit wood, and the color becomes darker toward the center. The center is about the thickness of a baby's finger, and the color is rich emerald green, like an emerald wood heart inlaid into the tree. heart position.

Meng Zhou and Wu Tong watched the spirit wood carefully. Wu Tong also talked to the monk surnamed Chen: "I only knew you had the green spirit wood before, but I didn't know it was in such good condition."

The monk surnamed Chen did not try to get close to him, but simply said:

"I asked someone to appraise it. The core area of ​​this tree is already of first-order high-grade quality, and a large area around it is also of first-order mid-grade quality.

But it was agreed that my green spirit wood would only be sold as a whole, not divided! "

Wu Tong winked at Meng Zhou, and then said to the monk surnamed Chen: "Let's discuss it."

"Okay, we've discussed it and call me." The monk surnamed Chen nodded, put away the green spirit wood and went to the back room, leaving the living room to the two of them.

Wu Tong sent a message to Meng Zhou:

"I know why he had to sell it whole. This thing keeps falling on his hands."

"Why?" Meng Zhou was also curious about this.

"Because more than 70% of his Qingling wood is of low-grade quality, nearly 30% of it is of medium-grade quality, and only the center of the tree is of high-grade quality.

But the amount is too small to be used as the main material of a first-level high-grade magic weapon, and can only be used as an auxiliary material.

As a result, its price is greatly reduced, and it cannot even be sold for the price of the first-level mid-grade main material.

Moreover, due to its ordinary characteristics, Qingling wood is relatively low-priced among spiritual materials of the same level. Once it is split, the price of the first-order low-grade Qingling wood, which contains the most weight, will definitely be reduced to a very low level. "

"It makes sense." Meng Zhou nodded after hearing this.

After saying this, Wu Tong looked at Meng Zhou: "Do you still need it?"

Meng Zhou thought for a while: "How many spiritual stones do you expect to get?"

Wu Tong thought for a while and said: "No more than 400 low-grade spiritual stones."

Meng Zhou nodded and said, "Buy it!"

The ledger in Meng Zhou's mind is this. The first-level low-grade Qingling wood is roughly equivalent to two parts of the main material of the magic weapon, and there is still a certain amount left. Even though the price of Qingling wood is relatively low among spiritual materials of the same grade, the price is 80 to 120. Reasonable range.

The first-level mid-grade Qingling wood is just equivalent to a complete mid-grade magic weapon main material, and the price between 100 and 160 is very reasonable.

The highest quality tree heart, however, was not complete enough to be used as the main material for a first-order high-grade magic weapon. He could accept anything between 150 and 200.

As long as the total price does not exceed 450 low-grade spiritual stones, he can accept it.

Moreover, after seeing this piece of green spirit wood, he also had an idea in his mind, that is, to compare similar spiritual materials of different qualities with each other to see which spiritual material is most cost-effective to "feed" to the rope spirit.

With Meng Zhou's promise, Wu Tong called out the middle-aged monk surnamed Chen and started a fierce negotiation with him.

Although the monk surnamed Chen gritted his teeth and refused to let go, Wu Tong couldn't stop Wu Tong from picking every question accurately and getting to the point.

The price also went from the fixed price of 500 low-grade spiritual stones by the monk surnamed Chen to 350 low-grade spiritual stones by Wu Tong.

After the two reached an agreement, Meng Zhou pointed out 350 low-grade spiritual stones and handed them to the middle-aged monk surnamed Chen, and put the large piece of green spiritual wood into a storage bag.

After leaving the courtyard of the monk surnamed Chen and walking to the street outside, Meng Zhou directly took 40 spiritual stones and handed them to Wu Tong.

Wu Tong said hurriedly: "It's a lot more. According to the original agreement, you can just give me 35 pills. Besides, I just brokered it. It's really not worth so much."

After saying that, he took twenty and wanted Meng Zhou to take back the remaining twenty spirit stones, but Meng Zhou forced it into his hand and said:

“Since we have made an appointment in advance, we will come as promised.

Moreover, it is good that you can actively help me lower the price without considering personal gains.

As long as you can always maintain this attitude, you will never suffer from me! "

The last two people were Wu Tong, who was extremely grateful and burst into tears.

Then, Meng Zhou spent ten more low-grade spirit stones to buy some books on spiritual material illustrations and wild spiritual material collection. He planned to learn more about them in order to formulate recipes for the "rope spirit" in the future.

"Finally there is a spiritual stone."

When he walked out of the market, Meng Zhou chuckled in his heart when he looked at the remaining 445 in the storage bag plus the 300 from the consultation fees, a total of 745 low-grade spiritual stones.

In the past few times, every time he made a purchase, he spent all the spiritual stones in his pocket without leaving a single one.

…

When he returned to Zuowang Hall, Meng Zhou had returned to the image of Pharmacist Zhou.

After passing the management hall of Zuowang Hall, he was about to return to the stone room where he meditated when a voice suddenly stopped him.

"Pharmacist Zhou."

Meng Zhouyi was startled and looked at the sound. He immediately froze there.

He saw an old man with white hair and a boyish face, who looked like a monk with an immortal air and bone, walking towards him slowly.

The old man saw Meng Zhou staring at him without blinking, with a calm expression, as if he was used to such scenes.

He smiled heartily, held his hands in greeting again and said, "Physician Zhou, I am polite here!"

Meng Zhou was awakened by his greeting and quickly said apologetically: "I'm sorry, who are you?"

The old man smiled and said: "My surname is Hu Minggui, and I am the proprietor of Zuowang Hall."

Meng Zhou said with a face full of shock: "Are you the owner of Zuowang Hall? I have lived here for a long time, but... this is really surprising."

The old man explained: "I have always lived over there at the market, and the people below have always taken care of this place.

Isn’t this the recent turmoil at the Professionals Association..."

At this point, he seemed to realize that the person in front of him was a professional, and he quickly laughed and said: "I just ran back to hide for a while."

He held Meng Zhou and had a lively chat for a while. Finally, he revealed that a junior had a hidden disease and wanted to ask him to diagnose and treat it.

Meng Zhou did not refuse as directly as he did when facing Zhou Quan, but nodded and said:

"Of course. Just ask him to go to Yu Peng's stone room for the next diagnosis and treatment...Yu Peng, you know, right?"

The old man shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I don't want to know. If people know that Chu Zheng's disciples live here, I am afraid that I will not be able to live in peace in Zuowang Hall."

Finally, the old man thanked and left.

Meng Zhou stood there for a moment before returning to his stone room.

Until the stone door was closed, the formation was opened, and the inside and outside were isolated, the heartbeat finally started to beat uncontrollably.

The emotions in my heart at this moment are overwhelming, which is not enough to describe how intense they are.

This old man who calls himself Hu Gui is actually the person who gave him the Blood Demon Skill in the memory of the previous master.

He left Cuiyu Lake and came to Nuanyun Valley. He chose a place to stay at random, and the proprietor behind it was actually him!

The other party seemed to be used to being the hands-off shopkeeper. If it hadn't been for the indiscriminate turmoil caused by the birth of the Professionals Association, which made him run back to hide in peace, he would never have known that there was such a causal relationship with him.

The Professional Association was originally promoted by itself.

Simplifying it a little, wouldn't it mean that the other party was pushed in front of him due to the waves he created?

Such a coincidence?

What kind of fate is this? !
