Ji Taoist

Following Boss Zhao into the house, he watched as Boss Zhao set up a soundproof formation, took out a few items from the storage device, and placed them on the table.

Yan Buji took a closer look, picked up something that looked like a wood carving, and said, "There is a demonic aura on it, but there are obvious carving marks. Could it be made by someone who worships the demon race?"

"Fellow Daoist, you have good eyesight. Do you know the origin of this wood carving?"

"I don't know."

"It is said that the demon race has emperors, all of whom are supreme masters of the Mahayana Tribulation Period, and the top fighting force among the races below the saints. And this wood carving is said to be the image of a noble person called the Eight Desolate Emperor."

Eight Desolate Emperor? !

Yan Buji knew that the demon race had emperors, but he knew very little about their titles, and had only come into contact with the Wood Extreme Emperor.

Looking at the appearance of the wood carving, it looked like an eagle standing on the top of a mountain. Unlike ordinary eagles, the wings of this eagle seemed to cover the entire mountain. From the small to the big, you can know how huge the body of the Eight Desolate Emperor is.

"Not bad, it should be able to fetch a good price if sold to those cultivators who like to collect."

"Hehe, let's take a look at this."

Boss Zhao pushed a carved jade pendant over, Yan Buji took it and looked at it carefully: "Is it a tool made mainly of the fifth-turn spiritual material, the eighth-grade fox jade?"

"Indeed, but this tool requires extremely high spiritual strength, and I'm afraid it's not something that we, the foundation-building cultivators, can use."

Yan Buji nodded: "It looks like the refining technique is quite rough, probably a practice work of some Jindan or Jindan stage real person."

"But this is enough, hehe."

Yan Buji shrugged and didn't care, anyway, he would definitely not buy such inferior products.

Then, Yan Buji picked up a wooden sign next to him. There were no patterns on it, but it exuded a faint spiritual energy. He asked, "What is this?"

"Actually, I'm not sure. Logically, this should be a wooden sign made of ebony, but I don't know what it does."

Yan Buji looked strange: "This ebony... is at most the second turn, right? It's not something rare."

The higher the number of turns of ebony, the more valuable it is. However, this ebony has the same characteristics as a leaf of orchid, and it takes a long time as a basis to grow.

Ebony itself is also a universal spiritual material that can be used as a replacement material in making various accumulation tools. Of course, it must be prioritized when the number of turns of ebony itself is higher than the number of turns of the accumulation tool you want to make.

For example, if you want to make a third-turn accumulation tool and can't find a suitable spiritual material, you can choose to use a fourth-turn ebony as a substitute.

Ebony has extremely excellent mana ductility and liquidity, and even the shaping stage of refining into accumulation is much easier than ordinary spiritual materials, so there are many circulating on the market, but there is no ebony that exceeds the fourth turn.

For 4th and 5th turn ebony, you usually have to wait for it at the auction, maybe you can wait for it.

Yan Buji thought about it: "How about selling it to Yan?"

"Why? Daoist Yan is interested in bidding?"

"I'm just curious."

"Then I'll give Daoist Yan a favor, 3,000 spirit stones."

"Too expensive, 300 is about right."

"You're bargaining too hard, I got it with great difficulty."

"350, no more."

"Okay!"

Yan Buji knew that he had suffered a big loss. How could a 2nd turn spiritual material be worth this price? Besides, this is not a whole ebony.

But then again, a whole 2nd turn ebony is more than 300 spirit stones. This kind of spiritual material is not difficult to sell, and it can be sold up to 1,000 spirit stones.

Therefore, the price of spiritual materials in the cultivation world actually fluctuates greatly. Sometimes some inconspicuous spiritual materials are sold at the price of 2nd turn on weekdays, which is normal, and there are also suddenly popular 1st turn spiritual materials that are sold at the price of 3rd turn spiritual materials.

This is how the cultivation world works. If you have new information, it will be much easier to do business.

Putting away the wooden sign, Yan Buji got down to business: "By the way, Boss Zhao, have you got any news about the secret realm I asked you to find out?"

"There are many secret realms in the boundless sea. There are spiritual realms where the Yuanying stage Zhenjun solidifies the world, ancient battlefields, and even secret realms where the world was born. I wonder which one you are looking for?"

"So many? What Yan is looking for should be a trench."

"Trench?" Boss Zhao thought for a while: "There are more secret realms on the seabed, and most of them are sunk into the trench. There are a few nearby. Do you want to take a look?"

"Well, thank you." Yan Buji took out a bag of spiritual stones.

Boss Zhao smiled, put away the spiritual stones, and gave a map.

"This map takes Zhenhuang Island as the center, and the surrounding islands are roughly distributed. Those unmarked islands may be uninhabited or may be the retreats of some cultivators. Just don't disturb them easily. However, there is a large force called Shenlonghui to the east of Zhenhuang Island. Be careful."

"Doesn't Shenlonghui often trade with Zhenhuang Island? I have seen that all the merchant ships at the dock belong to Shenlonghui." Yan Buji asked.

Boss Zhao frowned: "That's the problem. Some time ago, Chen Fu, a Jindan-stage Zhenren of Shenlonghui, broke through the Yuanying stage. Now Shenlonghui also has two Yuanying-stage Zhenjun."

Yan Buji pinched his chin: "That won't cause any conflict with Zhenhuang Island, right?"

"There won't be any conflict. Zhenjun Huangfeng and Fairy Yunshang are both old-fashioned Yuanyings. They are not afraid of Zhenjun Chen Fu, who has just been promoted to Yuanying. But the problem is that Shenlonghui does not want to maintain a friendly and mutually beneficial relationship with Zhenhuang Island, but plans to develop itself."

Yan Buji frowned: "Does it mean that Shenlong will set up a sect here and create a large gathering place like Zhenhuang Island?"

"That's right, so it can be seen that Shenlong will definitely reduce trade with Zhenhuang Island in the future. And Shenlong will definitely recruit people everywhere, which is also their old habit." Boss Zhao said.

"Because Yan is an alchemist, he may be paid special attention? In this case, Yan feels that his own safety will not be in any danger, right?" Yan Buji smiled.

"But the key is that most of the materials sold by Shenlonghui come from the demon clan."

Yan Buji's pupils shrank: "Is Shenlonghui colluding with the demon clan?"

"There is no solid evidence, so let Fellow Daoist Yan be careful and don't be easily deceived. You also know that the human race and the demon clan are like water and fire. If the demon clan is behind Shenlonghui, the adults in the Turbulent Sea will not tolerate anyone colluding with the demon clan. To put it bluntly, even if you destroy a sect in the Turbulent Sea, it is not as serious as colluding with the demon clan."

Yan Buji raised his eyebrows, bowed and smiled: "Thank you, Boss Zhao, for telling me, Yan knows."

"Well, if you meet someone from Shenlonghui in the future, hide if you can. It's not good to conflict with them."

"That's no problem."

The relationship between the human race and the demon clan is so bad that colluding with the demon clan as a traitor will naturally not end well.

But since Shenlonghui has always been selling materials of the demon race, no one has caught them, or if they have, they don't want to report it...

It can only mean that Zhenhuangdao and Shenlonghui are similar, not good people.

"Hehe, I really like the atmosphere here, slandering each other, suspicious of each other, obviously there is no deep hatred, but they will do anything for the sake of profit, just like real enemies." Yan Buji laughed.

Come to think of it, I am also such a person.
