Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 136 Black Armored Horses, Heavy Cavalry!

Yu Tongxin's eyes held a look that said, "I treated you with all my heart, so why do you treat me like this?"

Su Qing accepted the eighteen low-grade spirit stones and eighteen thousand spirit crystals that were handed to her.

In the cultivation world of the Western Sea, the exchange rate between spirit stones and spirit crystals changes constantly with the market.

The number of Foundation Establishment cultivators, the presence of spirit stone mines nearby, and the quality of those mines all determine the exchange rate between spirit stones and spirit crystals.

With the merger of the four markets, there are now more than ten Foundation Establishment cultivators in the forward camp, which increases the demand for spirit stones and the exchange rate.

Su Qing inquired about the current exchange rate yesterday, and it turns out that the ratio of spirit stones to spirit crystals in the forward camp is approximately 1:24000.
Tong Xin also exchanged spirit stones for him at the market price.

Su Qing accepted the spirit stone and then showered Tong Xin with praise, calling him kind and honest.

Being called honest or kind in business is practically the same as insulting someone.

Seeing that Tong Xin's expression was not good, Su Qing realized that something was wrong. He thought to himself that he had not been interacting with his fellow practitioners for a long time, and his understanding of interpersonal relationships was not as good as before!
It's all the witch's fault for treating people with sincerity, which made me lose my ability to pretend like before!

"Fellow Daoist, don't look so gloomy. I might have to spend two or three hundred thousand spirit crystals later."

"If you do this business, you'll definitely stand out among the four managers this month!"

Su Qing tried to explain that he had other uses for the spirit stones, but he did need to spend the 360,000 spirit crystals he received from Yuan Tianye.

"Then I thank you for your kind offer, fellow Daoist!" Tong Xin put on a smile again and cupped his hands in thanks.

"Fellow Daoist is so kind, I will naturally reciprocate."

"Let's put the shopping aside for now, fellow Daoist, take a look at my third storage bag!"

Su Qing patted him on the shoulder and said warmly.

The third storage bag didn't contain much.

The main items were some of the items in the storage bags of Lu Meier and the Spirit Binder, two professionals who died tragically at the hands of Leng Fengxiang.

And the low-level magical artifacts he had prepared for the Black Tiger Mountain trip.

After witnessing the ferocity of the second-tier Tiger King, and Liu Yun'er, who was even more ferocious than the Tiger King.

He knew that no matter how many low-level magical artifacts he had, they wouldn't be of much use in battles at this level.

Instead, they didn't meticulously prepare one or two second-tier magical artifacts like Helian Xian did.

Although a second-tier magic weapon cannot last more than three to five seconds with a Qi Refining cultivation level, no one can say that it is useless if it can provide high-quality output for three to five seconds.

Therefore, he now possesses: the Wind-Stepping Boots, the Mystic Artifact of Proving the Heart Cloth, the Exorcising Artifact of the Hunyang Treasure Umbrella, the Dream-Entering Stone left behind by Lu Meier, and several rope art works left by the Spirit Binding Master.

These five items, except for the Heart-Proving Cloth, are all low-level magical artifacts, but when used in the right place, they can all have miraculous effects.

As for the others, even the black snake python that Helian Xian gave him, he reluctantly gave up.

There weren't many ritual implements, so the valuation was quick.

In a short while, all the magical artifacts were sold for 80,000 spirit crystals.

The price was reduced from 78,000 to 80,000, but fortunately, he didn't ask for spirit stones to settle the account this time, which made Tong Xin feel a little better.

"Fellow Daoist, is that all?" Tong Xin asked hurriedly when he saw him clapping his hands as if he was about to go into the store to shop.

"That's all. How much more would you like, fellow Daoist? How much could I possibly have?"

Su Qing sighed inwardly, thinking that Tong Xin was quite greedy despite his young age; he still wanted more after being sold so many things.

"What about the tiger bones of the Silver-Winged White Tiger and the Black Mountain Tiger?!" Tong Xin was extremely anxious, for these were the real treasures!
"So that's what you're after, fellow Daoist. I've been through the witch's clutches myself; do you really think I can keep such a treasure?" "That witch is truly despicable!" Tong Xin, gritting his teeth after losing such a big deal, asked hopefully again.
"As for that second-tier demon core, you don't need it, so why don't you sell it to my shop? Don't worry, I'll definitely give you a fair price!"

"The tiger bones are gone, how can the second-tier demon core be preserved? Besides, why can't I use it? I have some experience in body cultivation now, and I might even advance to the second tier before Fellow Daoist Ma!"

Su Qing dealt with Tong Xin in a bad mood, thinking to himself that he should take good care of his health, otherwise even a humble waiter would dare to bully him for being weak and powerless!
Without the tiger bone and the demon core, there's no need to ask about the Blood Lotus Fruit anymore.

Tong Xin felt sorry for Su Qing and also for himself, and hurriedly welcomed her into the store.

After Su Qing listed out all the required materials, his smile grew even wider.

Su Qing was also in a good mood. After the merger of the four markets, the previously distorted prices gradually returned to normal.

The cost of all materials has decreased significantly compared to the past, and the supply of all goods is also more abundant.

With an abundance of spiritual crystals on him, he naturally spent lavishly.

I bought a bunch of war knives, warhammers, and other tools to craft a dual-wielding lizard hammer war bear.

He didn't buy many other magical artifacts or weapons, not because he didn't want to take advantage of the beast tide to hoard them.

Instead, he felt that instead of buying finished magical artifacts, it would be better to buy more materials and refine the puppets himself.

Once the beast tide erupts and magical artifacts and weapons become increasingly expensive, how could he possibly sell his puppets cheaply?

He spent over 300,000 spirit crystals to buy the necessary materials for crafting the puppet.

The bulk of the items were thirty-six battle swords, each priced at 1,200 spirit crystals, totaling over 40,000 spirit crystals.

There are six warhammers, each of them a superior-grade warhammer, totaling 56,000 spirit crystals.

In addition, the materials for more than thirty sets of meditation dolls, a large amount of Xuan Iron Essence, Spirit Wood and other common materials, various talisman water, medicinal herbs and pills also cost a lot.

These expenses were all within his expectations; the only thing not on his shopping list was two puppet blueprints.

They are respectively a first-tier mid-grade puppet: Xuanjia Horse.

Tier 1 Superior Puppet: Dog and Horse Cavalry.

These two puppet blueprints were not originally available in Baiyun Market; they were probably circulated from Beast Puppet Market.

Su Qing was somewhat interested in this and planned to study it thoroughly before modifying it to create a puppet that could be mass-produced for export.

Thus, after spending the huge sum of over 300,000 yuan, Tong Xin was practically begging for his grandfather's attention.

After he asked if the shop had any magical artifacts similar to the mother-and-child boomerang,

They immediately led him warmly into the room containing the magical artifacts.

The newly renovated ritual implements room is filled with precious light and dazzling brilliance, which goes without saying.

Su Qing showed no interest in the other magical artifacts, her gaze lingering only on the needles and darts.

In the end, he spent nine thousand spirit crystals to buy a set of high-grade magic artifacts called Firefly Needles.

He then spent over 30,000 spirit crystals to buy a complete set of mother-and-child boomerangs.

He wanted to buy the incomplete version, but unfortunately, there are quite a few unlucky souls who couldn't retract the magic weapon after it was only half fired and ended up dying in the belly of a demon. This time, he didn't get a good deal.

After buying all the materials, he only had 40,000 to 50,000 spirit crystals left in his storage bag. As for the so-called second-tier magic weapon, it was temporarily out of his reach, so he didn't need to think about it anymore.
