The prosperity and liveliness of West Market is not comparable to that of a small place like Liuyun Market. Song Changsheng took Song Qingluo to stroll in it, taking a quick glance at it, and gradually began to care about it.
Most of them are adventurers here. They hunt Demon Beast in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, or find some rare spirit medicine, or even kill people and sell the stolen goods. They will come here to set up a small stall.
They usually don't yell, and clearly mark the price. Those who like it will keep Spirit Stone, and those who don't like it will leave on their own.
The goods displayed by these people are genuine and fake, and sometimes even they themselves cannot tell the difference. However, generally speaking, there are relatively few fakes, because most of what they sell are materials from Demon Beast and collected spirit medicine.
They are not the target of Song Changsheng, because there is nothing to pick up.
Apart from these adventurers, most of the rest are some Rogue Cultivator. They sell a wide variety of products, such as Ores, Law Artifact, Medicinal Pills, Talismans, mental secrets... they sell everything.
Song Changsheng After a quick look, there are mostly fakes, and the prices of a few genuine products are a bit exaggerated. You may make a small profit, but the stall owner will definitely not lose money.
Buying these things cannot be regarded as picking up the slack, it is just a small profit, Song Changsheng does not like it.
Finally, he set his sights on those "Gambling Merchants".
What is "Gambling Merchants"? Song Changsheng didn't know this question at first, so he looked at Song Qingluo, hoping that this "local" could answer his questions.
Song Qingluo smiled and said, "Young Clan Head, the so-called 'Gambling Merchants', in the final analysis, is the word 'gamble'.
Although they are also Rogue Cultivator, they are different from the general Rogue Cultivator. They belong to one Rogue Cultivator Alliance.
This Rogue Cultivator Alliance is a relatively loose organization that gathers many Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivator and Qi Condensation Cultivator. They will set up stalls and sell in this market.
Most of the goods for sale are of uncertain value, such as some maps, Law Artifact fragments, antiquities fragments, etc. It is difficult to distinguish the true from the false, just like gambling. Over time, they are called 'Gambling Merchants'. "
Song Changsheng suddenly understood after hearing this, and couldn't help but wonder, "Whether it is true or false, there must be a source. Where did they get these things? The stock is still so large."
Song Qingluo smiled and shrugged, "Everyone has various speculations about this issue, and the most credible one is that their alliance controls a Ancient Battlefield ruins. These things were all looted from it, but no one has confirmed it."
"Ancient Battlefield ruins? Interesting, come with me to find out." Song Changsheng rubbed his chin, feeling suddenly interested.
Ancient Era, Human Cultivator rose up in this world and opened up a vast land for survival and reproduction. Human Race Great Power established Immortal Dynasty one after another, gathering their strength to compete with the most powerful Demon Beast clan.
It was at this time that Hundred Arts of Cultivation began to flourish.
The Great Qi Kingdom that Song Changsheng is currently in is one of the many Immortal Dynastys in ancient times, responsible for resisting the Demon Beast invasion from the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.
During this period, in order to enhance their strength and heritage, the royal family of the Great Qi Kingdom vigorously developed Secret Realm and Small World found in the territory.
In this process, fighting and fighting are naturally indispensable. The fighting opponents include aborigines, Demon Beast from the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, and other Immortal Dynasty.
In battles between the Immortal Dynasty, tens of thousands of soldiers are often dispatched. Power of Laws within Small World are weak, and the fighting can be described as a mountain collapse, like the end of the Calamity.
Many Small World were destroyed in the war, and even lost contact with the Ziyu Realm, wandering in Endless Void.
By the coincidence of Fortuitous Encounter, these Small World will be pulled by the Ziyu Realm again and build a new Spatial Tunnel.
And this is what Song Qingluo calls the Ancient Battlefield ruins, the place where the bones of Human Race soldiers are buried. Due to the destruction, this area Small World no longer has the value of development, but there are many "relics" of the soldiers in the conquest.
Although most things have decayed with the passage of time, there are still some that are well preserved and still have a certain value.
If this Rogue Cultivator Alliance really has mastered a Ancient Battlefield relic, then there will be a reasonable explanation for the origin of their products...
Song Changsheng looked around and finally stopped in front of a stall in the corner.
The stall owner was an old man who looked like he was about to die. He only had the cultivation level of Qi Condensation Stage, Late Phase. He sat cross-legged in front of the stall with his hands folded, feeling a little drowsy.
Seeing Song Changsheng stop, his cloudy eyes suddenly glowed a little. He immediately stood up and said enthusiastically, "Whatever this kid wants, just look at it and choose it."
Most of his stalls were broken Beast Skin and Law Artifact, which were full of traces of time. It seemed that it was not groundless to say that these things came from the ruins of Ancient Battlefield.
"Dad, why are they all junk goods?" Song Changsheng said pretending to be frivolous while flipping through the goods.
The old man rolled his eyes when he heard this, rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "Is this your first time coming to the market, little friend?"
Song Changsheng looked a little surprised and nodded, and said unsuspectingly, "How do you know? The elders in the family are here to do some errands and brought me here to learn more."
As long as a monk breaks through the Foundation Establishment Realm, just a little Spiritual Power can keep his appearance at the same age as when he first broke through.
Song Changsheng is not very old at all. He was only in his early twenties when he broke through Foundation Establishment. He deliberately hid it and even looked a little younger than Song Qingluo.
Seeing Song Changsheng's inexperienced look, the old man felt happy immediately, because this kind of rookie is the best to fool. He cleared his throat and pretended to be mysterious. "So that I can let you know that the products in my stall are of great origin."
"Oh? Isn't it just a pile of junk? What's the origin of it?" Song Changsheng is now possessed by the Oscar winner, playing the role of a rookie Thatched Cottage.
The old man looked around, then leaned his head and whispered, "This is the treasure obtained from the Ancient Battlefield ruins. Ancient Battlefield, you know, Ancient Era's treasure."
"Ancient Battlefield ruins?" Song Changsheng's eyes lit up, as if his interest was aroused.
Seeing this, the old man quickly struck while the iron was hot. "Of course, look at this Law Artifact. Although the aura is dim, it was still at the Spirit Artifact level before, and it was made of first-class materials.
There is also this ancient book, although it is dilapidated and decayed, but it records the inheritance of second-level and above skills. Even if you can't use it, you can still increase your Lineage heritage. It's your first time here, so I think it's worth a hundred yuan for one Low-Grade Spirit Stones piece. "
Song Changsheng looked at the two objects that the old man took out, and sneered in his heart. These things are true for a long time, but what Spirit Artifact and the second-level inheritance he advocated were pure farts. Even if Low-Grade Spirit Stones gave him a hundred yuan, he wouldn't take them for free.
A broken earth bowl is still a broken earth bowl no matter how long it is buried.
My heart was clear, but my face showed just the right amount of hesitation, as if it was difficult to make up my mind.
Seeing that there was something going on, the old man immediately gave a hidden wink to a strong man not far away. The strong man understood immediately, got up and came to Song Changsheng, and said eagerly, "Fellow Daoist, you have new goods here again. I heard that a fellow Daoist bought a broken ancient Spirit Artifact from you, so I want to try my luck."
"Although the ancient Spirit Artifact is precious, it is nothing in the Ancient Battlefield ruins. It's just that the old man's eyesight is dim and he can't identify the treasure, so he can only sell it at a low price. Whether you can find it depends on your fellow Daoist's eyesight." The old man said with a smile.
"Yes, yes." The strong man pretended to take a piece of Jade Tablet in front of the stall. After taking out Spirit Stone to pay the bill, he broke it in front of Song Changsheng. There was actually a small piece of Beast Skin hidden inside, with something vaguely written on it.
A look of surprise appeared on the strong man's face, and he quickly put it away. He also looked around warily, as if he was afraid that others would snatch it, and then left in a hurry.
At this time, the old man pretended to be envious and said, "This fellow Daoist has outstanding eyesight, which actually allowed him to discover the hidden treasure. Alas, I missed the treasure again."
Song Changsheng looked at the performance between the two with cold eyes. This kind of clumsy trick was enough to deceive those simple-minded rookies. It was far from being able to deceive him.
"Little friend, do you want to give it a try? I think you are quite accomplished at such a young age. You must be a genius from Lineage, right? Your eyesight is much higher than that of Rogue Cultivator just now, so your skills will definitely be extraordinary." The old man complimented without blushing.
Song Changsheng seemed to be very satisfied, but then he pretended to sigh and said, "Old man, this one hundred yuan Spirit Stone is a bit expensive. I am short of money and can only buy one. How about this? I, Clan Uncle, am nearby. How about I go get some Spirit Stone first?"
The old man suddenly frowned and said to himself, "This young man is not very experienced in the world, so he can be intimidated by me. If I invite an elder, won't he be exposed? No, I have to find a way to keep him."
Seeing that Song Changsheng was about to leave with Song Qingluo, he quickly stood up and stood in front of them, smiling and saying, "Why are you in such a hurry, little friend? I believe that this little friend is extremely talented and will definitely become a big shot in the future. I would like to make a good relationship. How about one hundred Spirit Stone and let me choose two of them?"
Song Changsheng suddenly showed joy on his face, and said a little embarrassedly, "This... then thank you, senior."
After saying that, he squatted in front of the stall and started picking.
Seeing that he had finally been persuaded, the old man felt happy and said secretly, "A rookie is just a rookie. You are still so happy when I sell you two items worth Spirit Stone for five dollars for a hundred dollars."
While he was feeling complacent, a smile appeared on the face where Song Changsheng was buried. He picked through it and finally took out a fragment of bronze and a tattered Beast Skin.
Seeing that he had chosen these two items, a hint of ridicule suddenly appeared in the old man's eyes, and he said to himself, "I chose the two shabbiest ones among a pile of rags. It's really stupid to pick two Law Artifact and get some money back."
"Senior, I want these two pieces." Song Changsheng handed one hundred yuan Spirit Stone to the old man and said.
The old man quickly accepted it, said a lot of compliments, and then sent Song Changsheng away.
As soon as they left, the big man from before left and returned again, and the old man and the strong man began to share the money openly.
They are not afraid that Song Changsheng will find out that they have bought two pieces of junk and come to trouble them, because all private fights are prohibited in Sunset City, and their stall is protected by the City Lord's Mansion. As long as it is a consensual transaction, if you dare to cause trouble afterwards, someone will teach you how to behave.
If the other party chooses to be outside the city, then they will not be afraid anymore. They Rogue Cultivator Alliance have been living in Sunset City for so many years and they are not vegetarians!
The old man and the strong man laughed at Song Changsheng's stupidity in their hearts, but they didn't know that Song Changsheng, who had already gone far, also had the same idea.
"This old man is really stupid." Song Changsheng rubbed the texture of Beast Skin in his hand, smiling secretly in his heart.
"Young Clan Head, what did you gain?" Song Qingluo had been holding back and not speaking just now, for fear of ruining Song Changsheng's affairs. Now that he was far away, he finally couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Hahaha, yes, it's getting late, let's go back first." Song Changsheng smiled broadly. Not only did he gain something, he got a big advantage this time!
As soon as he returned to the grocery store, Song Changsheng locked himself in the room and took out today's harvest.
After practicing [Insight Technique], most of the fakes were invisible to him, and the reason why he stopped in front of the old man's stall was because he found the real ones among a bunch of fakes, which were still shining like gold!
He first took out the bronze fragment and threw it directly into the cauldron for worship. As the shell gradually melted, the fragment finally condensed into a drop of green liquid the size of a broad bean, which emitted a metallic light after cooling.
"It is indeed the second level [Dark Nether Crystal Essence]." A smile appeared on Song Changsheng's face. Grinding this material into powder and adding a small amount when refining can improve the quality of Law Artifact. Just this small piece is worth no less than three hundred yuan Spirit Stone.
However, the highlight today is not it, but the Beast Skin.
Beast Skin is only one foot square and slightly damaged. Time has left indelible marks on it, and even the words recorded in the cinnabar are somewhat blurred.
However, these words were not the reason why Song Changsheng bought it. He gently rubbed his fingers, and a cluster of flames suddenly appeared.
Put Beast Skin under the flame and roast it. The originally yellow-brown Beast Skin gradually appeared and spread a red color.
Within a moment, the Beast Skin in his hand turned into a bright red color, densely covered with text, but it was very different from today's fonts, and looked like birds and animals.
"Ancient Beast Script, it is indeed an ancient thing." Song Changsheng's eyes showed a touch of fire. This font he had learned from Clan School was Human Race's earliest text. It was made to imitate animals and birds. No one uses it anymore.
But as long as there is a little bit of foundation, Disciples must learn this kind of writing.
The reason is very simple. If you don't learn it, you won't be able to understand Ancient Era's exercise books when they are placed in front of you. Wouldn't that be too funny?
"The Beast Skin record using Heavenfire Red Lizard has been specially processed. I want to see what is recorded on it."
Song Changsheng looked at it carefully and saw a few big characters written on it, "[Fleeting Light and Shadow]."
