After making up his mind, Jiang Ping'an came out of the inn and headed to Sea of Treasures Street.

More than half an hour later, Jiang Ping'an arrived at Sea of Treasures Street and saw that the street was bustling with people, crowded and noisy. Foundation Establishment Realm Overhaul and Golden Core True Lord were crowded in front of each stall and haggling loudly like ordinary aunts and old men.

"After all, we are all human beings." Jiang Ping'an secretly thought, "That's pretty much it."

He walked into the street and paid attention to the things sold at the street stalls.

Thousand-year-old snow lotus, seventy-two evil fires, top-quality magic weapons, six-winged centipedes... there are all kinds of dazzling products, and almost all of them are rare treasures of heaven and earth. The price is not less than 10,000 spiritual stones, and the general price is more than 30,000 to 40,000 spiritual stones.

Jiang Ping'an knows that there are no stalls at this time. The main purpose of his coming here is to understand the prices so that he can set up a stall to sell things and set prices tomorrow.

After walking for a short half of the street, Jiang Ping'an unexpectedly found something he was very interested in.

I saw a large number of small jade swords placed on a stall. There were Sword Qis sealed inside these small jade swords. These Sword Qis were all of high grade, and there were a large number of high-grade Sword Qis.

The stall owners are three Foundation Establishment Realm sword cultivators, wearing basically the same clothes, obviously from the same sword cultivator sect.

There are several big words written on the stall: Prices are clearly marked, no bargaining.

Jiang Ping'an looked at the price carefully and decided to negotiate.

He cupped his hands to the three Foundation Establishment Realm sword cultivators and said, "Fellow Daoist, I'll cover all of you Sword Qi. The price is 60,000 spiritual stones. How about that?"

The three Foundation Establishment Realm sword cultivators were slightly surprised. They looked at each other and exchanged glances, obviously quite moved.

A few breaths later, the Foundation Establishment Realm sword cultivator in the middle said to Jiang Ping'an, "Fellow Daoist, you sincerely buy all Sword Qi. We are willing to lower the price, but the price is too low. We can only reduce it to 80,000 spiritual stones."

"It's too high, I can't afford it." Jiang Ping'an immediately refused, "There aren't that many spiritual stones."

He really didn't lie. Now he only has more than 76,000 spiritual stones left.

When the Foundation Establishment Realm sword in the center was about to speak, Jiang Ping'an said again, "You have thought about it and quoted a price. If it is suitable, I will buy it. If it is not suitable, I will leave immediately. Don't waste our time."

The three Foundation Establishment Realm sword cultivators then used Spiritual Sense to discuss.

Ten or twenty breaths later, Foundation Establishment Realm sword cultivator in the middle raised his hand to Jiang Ping'an and said, "Fellow Daoist, the price is sixty-eight thousand spiritual stones."

"Deal." Jiang Ping'an said simply.

The three Foundation Establishment Realm sword cultivators immediately smiled.

Sword Qi is not easy to sell, and setting up a street stall here requires expensive stall fees, city entry fees and other expenses, which is very costly.

The sword cultivating sect behind them lived in a tight life. The entire sect practiced swordplay all day long and did not engage in production or management. They relied entirely on rent collection from the land and could not make ends meet. Forced to do nothing, they had no choice but to sell Sword Qi to make money.

Complete transaction, the three Foundation Establishment Realm sword cultivators happily bowed their hands to Jiang Ping'an and thanked them, "Thank you so much, fellow Daoist. We are from the Myriad Sword Sect. What do you call us?"

"Yang Ding Tian." Jiang Ping'an said with a smile.

He gave himself a random name.

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Yang." The three Foundation Establishment Realm sword cultivators said politely, "If Fellow Daoist Yang still needs Sword Qi in the future, you can buy it from our store. The price is easy to say."

Jiang Ping'an said, "I will definitely visit you if I have the opportunity."

Then, he turned and left.

Jiang Ping'an didn't continue shopping. He probably knew the prices pretty much. The prices of Great Luo Holy City were about half to twice as expensive as those of the Xuanluo Sect. Resource-based things were more expensive, but finished products were not much more expensive.

Great Luo Holy City and its surrounding areas are full of talented people, some of whom are weapon refiners, alchemists, painters Talisman Master... etc., so the prices of finished magic weapons, Spirit Pills, talismans, etc. are not too high.

Returning to the inn room, Jiang Ping'an summoned Xiao Duanyu, Zhuo Bufan and Hu Yijian, and took out three small jade swords with high-level Sword Qi sealed on them and gave them to them.

Xiao Duanyu, Zhuo Bufan and Hu Yijian were keenly aware that it was high-level Sword Qi, and excitedly saluted Jiang Ping'an: "Thank you, Lord!"

The sword qi that Jiang Ping'an had purchased before was basically the sword qi of the middle-level sword qi and below, and there was no high-level sword qi. Jiang Ping'an occasionally condensed a Xuanxiao sword qi for them to absorb together. They were already equivalent to the true sword spirits of the Golden Core realm, and the middle and low-level sword qi had little effect on them, and they were basically in a state of starvation.

Jiang Ping'an nodded and said with a smile, "I bought some high-level Sword Qi by chance. You should practice hard and try to beat Golden Core True Lord."

"You guys start."

Xiao Duanyu, Zhuo Bufan and Hu Yijian suppressed their excitement, each picked up a small jade sword, sat down separately, and then concentrated on absorbing the high-level Sword Qi to practice.

The next morning, before dawn, Jiang Ping'an walked out of the inn early and headed to Sea of Treasures Street.

As for Xiao Duanyu, Zhuo Bufan and Hu Yijian, they are still in the inn guest room refining Sword Qi. A high-level Sword Qi cannot be refined quickly, and it will take several days to refine.

Jiang Ping'an is not worried about leaving them in the inn, because they have their own consciousness, and the bad guys who dare to take advantage of them will only send food if they are not Golden Core True Lord.

Jiang Ping'an rushed to Sea of Treasures Street and found that more than 80% of the stalls on the street were occupied. He hurriedly found an empty stall to occupy, and then started to set up a stall.

After a while, three Great Luo Immortal Sect disciples walked up to Jiang Ping'an. They first showed Sea of Treasures Street's management token, and then said to Jiang Ping'an, "The rent for the stall is one thousand spiritual stones per day."

Jiang Ping'an No nonsense, he immediately took out five hundred spiritual stones and gave them to them.

As soon as the sun rose in the east, Sea of Treasures Street began to have the first batch of customers come in to scan goods. Most of these customers were local monks from Great Luo Holy City, and a considerable number of them were even people from commercial buildings.

The stall rent plus the city fee make the cost of setting up a stall in Sea of Treasures Street very high. If nothing is sold in a day of setting up a stall, it will be a loss. Therefore, the price of the treasures sold by the stall owners is quite sincere.

Great Luo Holy City's local monks took the opportunity to start a resale business of buying low and selling high.

Jiang Ping'an mainly sold two sets of top-level magic arrays, five sets of high-level magic arrays, high-level Spirit Pills and several kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures that felt completely useless at the stall.

He did not dare to take any of True Lord Xuan Luo's Spirit Pills, although he carefully inspected it with the eyes of an alchemist and eliminated two suspicious high-level Spirit Pills.

"Can these Spirit Pills be cheaper?" A middle-aged monk stopped in front of Jiang Ping'an's stall and asked, "If you can make it 50% cheaper, I will take them all."

Jiang Ping'an raised his eyes and glanced at the other party, and saw that the other party was smart and wealthy, not like an ordinary monk, but like a businessman.

He immediately said, "No two prices."

These high-end Spirit Pills have marked a relatively low price.

"Fellow Daoist, these Spirit Pillss of yours are of mixed types. They must not have been refined by yourself, and their origins are unknown." The middle-aged monk said, "These Spirit Pillss cannot be sold at a high price, and it is difficult to sell them."

Jiang Ping'an said rudely, "If you don't want to buy it, just walk away."

I didn't even check whether Spirit Pills was good or bad. I just came up and bargained for a price. It was totally insincere and just a scam.

The middle-aged monk was not angry. He continued, "It is human nature to bargain. Why should fellow Daoists be angry?"

Jiang Ping'an was too lazy to talk nonsense and said, "Now even if you raise the price, I won't sell it to you. You can get out."

The middle-aged monk couldn't help but feel slightly angry, but he quickly suppressed his anger, left as if nothing had happened, and quickly found other stalls selling Spirit Pills.

Not long after, another old monk with gray hair and beard stood in front of Jiang Ping'an and said to Jiang Ping'an, "Fellow Daoist, I want to take a look at your Spirit Pills."

"Fellow Daoist, please excuse me." Jiang Ping'an said. He smelled a relatively complex alchemy fragrance from the other party and knew that the other party was either an alchemist or a professional Spirit Pills appraiser.

After the old monk quickly checked all the Spirit Pills, he said to Jiang Ping'an, "Fellow Daoist, I sincerely buy all your Spirit Pills, can it be cheaper?"

Jiang Ping'an thought for a moment and said, "It's 10% cheaper."

"Fellow Daoist, be happy, these Spirit Pills old men are all gone." The old monk said with a smile.

Soon, the transaction was completed, and Jiang Ping'an received 125,700 spiritual stones.

After Spirit Pills was sold out, some people began to ask about the prices of the formations and a small amount of heavenly materials and earthly treasures. In fact, the prices of the formations and heavenly materials and earthly treasures had already been marked.

Before most of the first wave of customers left, Jiang Ping'an sold all the heavenly materials and earthly treasures on sale and got more than 30,000 spiritual stones.

At this point, Jiang Ping'an only has the formation left to sell.

Jiang Ping'an's price tag for the magic circle is not low, and those who buy it will not buy it if they think the magic circle is unprofitable.

Not long after the first wave of shoppers who bought low and sold high left, real tourists began to arrive one after another. The booth of Jiang Ping'an began to be filled with tourists.

Magical arrays are much rarer compared to magic weapons and Spirit Pills. There are very few stalls selling magical arrays on the entire Sea of Treasures Street, so monks who are interested in magical arrays tend to gather together.

The magic circle is not cheap. While these monks are asking about the magic circle, they are hesitant to sell it. Some monks are even trying to get rid of the price.

"Fellow Daoist, this set <Inverted Five Elements Dragon Trapping Array> should be cheaper for you, 25,000 spiritual stones, okay?" A Foundation Establishment Realm female cultivator with a bright appearance and mature figure asked Jiang Ping'an with her delicate voice, "My name is Xue Ningyu, we can make friends."

Jiang Ping'an flatly refused. "No, I won't bargain."

The female cultivator Mingyan begged without giving up, "I really need this set of Inverted Five Elements Dragon Trapping Array. You can just sell it to me. I really only have so many spiritual stones. I am very grateful."

Jiang Ping'an still firmly disagrees and is not playing into a trap.

Just a few words to get him to lower the price by three thousand spiritual stones. How is that possible? Even if you take off your clothes and crawl into his bed, you can't do it.

The stall was set up until midnight, when the manager cleared the place, Jiang Ping'an finished setting up the stall and left Sea of Treasures Street with other stall owners.

The magic circle sold three sets of high-level magic circles and received 86,000 spiritual stones.

The set of Inverted Five Elements Dragon Trapping Array was also sold, but the buyer was not Sister Mingyan, but a young monk Foundation Establishment who came just in the afternoon. Poor Sister Mingyan spent most of the day grinding the price, and because there were not enough spiritual stones, she could only watch Inverted Five Elements Dragon Trapping Array being sold.

So far, Jiang Ping'an has realized a total of more than 250,000 spiritual stones.
