1516_ Consumption is high

I thrust the sword into Ping Youping's crossed legs with the momentum of a hairball swinging my claws, and introduced myself: "Pei Lin, disciple of Yunxia Sect. Hello, Fellow Daoist Ping."

Ping Youping stared at my sword for a while, then looked at my face again: "A living person, you can't buy it..."

Yes, I do not sell.However, you seem to be very rich, don't you?

Qi Xiu's earning ability is actually not much worse than Dan Xiu's, but Qi Xiu generally appears to be much poorer than Dan Xiu, sometimes even as poor as a sword repairer.It may be because Qixiu buys materials as soon as he has money, and uses them to refine all kinds of whimsical ideas of his own. The damage rate is too high, unlike Danxiu who honestly refines mature pills.Although Danxiu consumed a lot of practice in the early stage, his income will be stable after his proficiency is improved.

Speaking of it, it is not easy for Danxiu to maintain the overall impression of "Danxiu is very rich", because Danxiu spends money like water to learn new Danfang, so if he wants to keep improving, Danxiu will not be able to make ends meet.Danxiu who feel that he has a lot of money often masters several expensive elixirs and only refines those types, not learning others. In this way, he can live a very luxurious life, but the road to cultivation has come to an end.

It is difficult for Qi Xiu to live by refining a limited number of utensils like Dan Xiu, even for Qi Xiu who does not seek to make progress, because pills are necessities and consumables.For example, monks who are less than the golden elixir stage have to eat so much of Bigu Dan every month, and the demand is constant, so there is no need to worry about sales.However, if a magic weapon is not artificially damaged or eliminated due to insufficient performance, it is normal to use it for hundreds of years in the hands of monks.

There is no concept of product lifespan in the magic weapon. When monks use the magic weapon, the operation of spiritual power will maintain the magic weapon by the way, so that it will always be as new as possible.Therefore, the consumption of magical artifacts is far less than that of pills, and the same monk will not buy the same magical artifacts on a regular basis.Even if a magic weapon is more expensive than a pill of the same level, it is far from expensive enough to offset the difference in quantity.

1517_thorn ball

"Hey, Pei Lin... I seem to have heard of this name before." Ping Youping said slowly.

I take it for granted: Yunxia Zongqixiu also has this virtue.

Me: "Tongmingguo is my first creation."

Ping Youping: "Tong Ming Guo... what is it?"

I took out a handful of different shapes and colors to show her.

Ping Youping: "Ah, this is called Tongmingguo, and I have also refined it." She took out a small ball full of spikes - it hurts your hand just looking at it.

Me: "Can this be eaten?"

Ping Youping: "I can't, this is a magic weapon. Look, squeeze it here, break it apart..."

With a bang, it exploded.

I was prepared and I was not injured, and Ping Youping was not injured. She continued with the same tone: "The smoke and dust from these explosions can form a defense and neutralize external attacks. The thorn shell can be enlarged and used as a defensive cover. It’s not too strong, but the key is that you can refine a lot at a time, do you want to buy it?”

Me: "Are they all the same? Do different materials have different effects?"

Ping Youping: "Metallic raw materials have the best neutralizing effect on metallic attacks, and other attributes also have the best defense effects on similar attributes, but generally speaking, they are not too different. Oh, the thorn shell is also It can be refined into other utensils, and can be used as a binder, calming agent, etc. But it may be that the level of raw materials I can refine is too low, so the level of utensils it can assist in refining is also relatively low. Later, when I repair Let’s go up and take a look.”

Me: "Can you sell me one each of the ones you refined with various raw materials? Also, how do you sell them?"

Ping Youping: "Let's exchange. I'll exchange my thorn ball for your transparent fruit, one for one."

Me: "The Tongming fruit is not a magic weapon."

Ping Youping: "It can assist in refining, but unfortunately I got too little before, and there is not much test data. How many are you willing to exchange? Can I exchange all my thorn balls with you?"

I shook my head: "One kind of raw material is refined, I only need one." Qi Xiufeng mentioned the matter of Tongming fruit to assist in refining, but most of them only use the fruit pulp for refining, and the pulp is not used much.The best way to use the pulp now is to eat it.

Ping Youping seemed regretful: "Oh, good..." As he said that, he began to pick out the thorn ball.

There are only seventeen kinds in total.

Ping Youping: "I mainly regard this refining method as a method of processing materials, so only when I need a certain material and that material is suitable for processing, I will refine thorns. ball."

In fact, it's not bad, it can refine [-] kinds of materials, which is more than Zou Huan and Tong Geng.

I accepted one of each of the seventeen kinds, and then fairly exchanged seventeen of the transparent fruits with different raw materials for her. Then, seeing her look a little pitiful, I took out another seventeen transparent fruits, Ask: "These, you can exchange two for one, do you want to exchange?"

Ping Youping: "Change!"

After the exchange this time, Ping Youping took the initiative to say: "I'll exchange 51 for your [-]? Or four for one?"

I looked at the thorn balls I had already exchanged, and felt that the small pile looked a little small, so I agreed to exchange four for one.Then another eight for one, sixteen for one...

When Zou Huan came to find her, Ping Youping and I had completed the exchange of 64 for one, and Ping Youping began to calculate whether her inventory was enough for 120 for one.

Ping Youping: "I still have 96 thorn balls, can I have [-] transparent fruits instead?"

Me: "120 eight times 76 is [-], [-] minus [-] leaves [-] thorn balls, you can keep them, maybe you can use them here."

Ping Youping: "It doesn't matter, I'll give it to you. I can also refine the thorn ball myself, and Tongming fruit is more useful to me. Thank you for willing to exchange it with me."

I thought about it, and in order to thank her for her patronage, I presented her with the latest ice skin, ice lotus shape, and transparent fruit with core.

Ping Youping studied it for a while, then said 'Hey', and began to take out things from the storage utensils: "See if there is anything you want in these, I want to change another one, ah no, it is two, I will I want to exchange for two more of these transparent fruits."

Zou Huan stood aside and looked at us with helplessness on his face.Probably wanted to speak, but couldn't find a chance to speak.Ping Youping was too involved in bartering.

I didn't create opportunities for Zou Huan, but carefully looked at the items that Ping Youping took out, asking a few questions from time to time.As long as I asked, Ping Youping introduced it to me without any hesitation. In the end, I didn't ask her and she took the initiative to explain, from functions to weaknesses to cracking methods, explaining that Zou Huan didn't look at me at all, just looked at her Dazed.

Alas, this girl is really worrying. She even took out the escape magic weapon of Jindan level. I reckon that even if she still has the hole cards, there are not many of them.

1519_Special

I asked Mao Qiu to pick up the poor-looking utensil with the mark of time-space transformation in the secret realm that Ping Youping threw away as soon as it was refined, and said to Ping Youping: "Just this one, change it to another one." for you."

Ping Youping frowned as soon as she saw her new refined product: "This one is messy, although that broken mark..."

She suddenly remembered something, stood up, looked around, and said, "That secret place. We are now in a secret place..."

I've been telling you about this for a long time, and you finally realized it.

Ping Youping looked at the ugly refined product in my hand again.

Me: "Do you want to change it? It's okay not to change it."

"Change." Ping Youping said, "Wait a minute, I'll refine another one for you. Are you interested in the traces of time and space on the broken mark? I thought of an interpretation method, maybe you will be interested."

Me: "If I am interested, I will exchange it with you for another ice lotus transparent fruit."

Ping Youping: "Okay, that's the deal."

I pointed to the pile on the ground: "Put these away first." In case someone popped up suddenly, grabbed something and ran away, I might not draw my sword to help you get it back, but with your slow reaction ability , you can't stop the robber yourself.

Ping Youping: "Aren't you interested in these?"

In fact, a few of them are quite interesting, but I think it's better for you to keep them for yourself, and don't regard research materials as more important than life-saving things.

Me: "I don't want to change."

Ping Youping: "Okay, then you wait, you must wait for me to refine it. It won't be too long. It just reflects my interpretation ideas. It doesn't need to be too finely crafted, and it won't take too much time."

Me: "It's okay, you practice slowly, I'm not in a hurry." I'm really not in a hurry, I don't even know what I can do in this secret realm, and it's good to see people refining weapons, otherwise I have to do it myself Practice sword.

Zou Huan also sat on the ground, resting his head on his hands and looking at us boredly.

Ping Youping probably didn't notice that there was an extra person at all. After agreeing with me, he laid out the tools and began to concentrate on refining.

While watching her refining, I asked Zou Huan, "How did you find it?"

Zou Huan: "I heard the sound of an explosion, and I came in the direction of the sound. It's too quiet and empty here, and a little sound can travel far."

However, judging from the coordinates attached to the time-distorted ice lotus, when the thorn ball exploded, Zou Huan was not the closest to me among the four people who successfully reproduced the Tongming Fruit except Ping Youping. It was much closer, but Tong Gengliang not only did not come closer, but moved further away.Dan Xiu's safety awareness is good, unlike sword repair, he doesn't have any hesitation in going where there is danger.

Me: "Were you still in the Medicine Sect before you were sent here?"

Zou Huan: "It's still there. My brother's eyes are a bit troublesome. In addition, Daoist Xia Xunhou of the Medicine Sect seems to have gotten new inspiration from my brother's eyes. However, until I was teleported, his new pills should not have been really real yet. take shape."
