Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

Chapter 93: On the Use of Cheat Codes!
With Zhang Yan's words.

Lei Wanbao immediately began to struggle with the old Taoist priest.

bargain.

It has to be said that Zhang Yan always thought Lei Wanbao was a true second-generation immortal.

But now it seems that he was biased.

The other party's bargaining skills are exceptionally strong!
After the transaction was completed, the old Taoist priest was still cursing and swearing, and his previous amiable demeanor was completely gone.

"Where do you think I got these magical artifacts from?"
"I saved all that money by haggling!" Lei Wanbao said to Zhang Yan, as if showing off.

Zhang Yan: "..."

He sensed something was off. Shouldn't someone like you, a second-generation immortal, say that everything was bought for you by your great-grandfather with a wave of his hand?

He never expected that the other party would be such a second-generation immortal!

"Do you want to open this raw stone directly?"

Zhang Yan asked Lei Wanbao curiously.

"Do not!

"I'll wait until I buy a lot before opening them all at once. Opening them individually won't yield anything!" Lei Wanbao shook his head.

They directly rejected Zhang Yan's suggestion.

As expected of a wealthy dog.

Even a lottery requires ten consecutive draws!
After leaving the old Taoist priest's place, Zhang Yan and Lei Wanbao continued to stroll around the area.

Soon, Zhang Yan discovered a problem.

This street lined with raw gemstones really has some good stuff.

But good things are very rare.

Most of them are second-grade rough stones, and many are even fake.

Moreover, each one of them asks for an extremely high price.

No wonder Lei Wanbao said this place was a black market.

This is really dark!

……

However, although most of them had problems, there were indeed a small portion of the raw stones that were very good.

It looks like a good product.

The price of those raw stones is even higher.

Even Zhang Yan, who was quite expensive, had a toothache.

How dare these people!
A random piece of raw stone costs 1000 spirit stones.

Let alone the fact that raw stones may not yield anything, even if they do, is that thing worth 1000 spirit stones?
"No wonder it takes several Nascent Soul sects to control this Ancient City. If it were just a single Nascent Soul sect, it would be impossible to control it!" Zhang Yan sighed.

Opening a rough stone is like gambling.

And this stuff is addictive.

It has a fatal attraction for ordinary cultivators.

……

In the end, Zhang Yan selected several raw stones on the raw stone street.

He didn't buy more.

The main reason is that, although he has a certain ability to appraise stones.

However, this applies only to a certain range.

There is still a gap between him and a true master of stone appraisal.

The raw stones have been purchased.

Zhang Yan led Lei Wanbao back to the cave they were renting.

Once inside.

They saw Lei Kunhai sitting in a chair with a gloomy expression.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Lei Wanbao hurriedly went over and asked.

"Those guys are really ruthless!" Lei Kunhai's face was extremely grim: "Several stone appraisers who used to cooperate with the sect have broken their contracts one after another."

"They've already taken a lot of spirit stones, and now they're going to break the contract!"

After Lei Kunhai's explanation, Zhang Yan and the others finally understood the reason.

Judging stones is a technical skill.

Even in Taikoo City, not many people know about it.

Sects like the Qingheng Sect purchase goods in ridiculously large quantities at a time.

You may even need to purchase some high-quality raw stones.

If you don't understand anything, you'll definitely get scammed.

That is why they often collaborate with some stone appraisers in Taikoo City.

In each collaboration, the other party receives a certain fee. But this time, it's because of the auction.

Therefore, all the stone appraisers raised their prices.

This was something Lei Kunhai found hard to accept.

"Don't we have Junior Brother Zhang?"

Junior Brother Zhang is good too!

Upon hearing Lei Kunhai's words, Lei Wanbao instinctively spoke up.

"Zhang Yan?"

“He definitely can’t do it!” Lei Kunhai shook his head immediately upon hearing Lei Wanbao’s words.

He had a very high opinion of Zhang Yan.

But he also knew that the other party's stone-judging skills were only average.

They are no match for those masters.

"Can't we pay more?" Lei Wanbao asked, somewhat puzzled.

The Qingheng Sect, as a whole, is quite wealthy and has no shortage of spirit stones.

"This isn't about money at all; it's about the other party breaking the contract. Most importantly, they've probably been recruited by other sects."

It's all for the auction.

"Raw stone auctions are all about having a good eye!" Lei Kunhai said, sounding somewhat annoyed.

"Is there really no other way?" Lei Wanbao asked anxiously upon hearing this.

I absolutely have to attend this auction.

Moreover, they also have to buy raw stones inside.

Do you think that the major Nascent Soul sects went through all the trouble to call you here just so you could play around?
If you come to their auction, you'll have to spend some spirit stones, no matter what.

Moreover, the more you buy, the more raw stones you will receive.

If you buy less.

Then your original share will be reduced.

It might even be canceled.

If that's the case, then if the Qingheng Sect wants to continue acquiring raw stones, they'll have no choice but to purchase them in Taigu City, just like ordinary cultivators.

This is absolutely unacceptable to the Qingheng faction.

Therefore, you must buy at the auction.

However, the rough stones in the auction, although they were also carefully selected.

However, this does not mean that all rough stones will be available.

Therefore, they had to find someone knowledgeable to take a look.

"I think we should try to find a solution from those stone appraisers." Zhang Yan's eyes darted around, and then he asked Lei Kunhai, "How many stone appraisers are there in this Ancient City?"

There are many stone appraisers in Taikoo City, but only five are famous.

These five people have incredibly sharp eyesight.

One of them had initially agreed, but now they've gone back on their word.

"Then could you please give me the addresses of these masters? I would like to visit them."

Zhang Yan thought for a moment and then asked Lei Kunhai.

"You go?"

"Okay, you can go if you want."

Lei Kunhai thought about it and realized there was no other way at the moment, so he could only ask him to go and take a look.

"I'll go find some other stone appraisers."

……

After discussing the matter, Zhang Yan and Lei Kunhai split up and took action separately.

Lei Kunhai went to find other stone appraisers.

Zhang Yan and Lei Wanbao went to find those stone appraisal masters.

"Junior Brother Zhang, since those stone-appraising masters are already going to break their contracts, will they agree to go back to us?" Lei Wanbao asked Zhang Yan with some curiosity.

“Of course not,” Zhang Yan said without hesitation.

Since the other party has broken the contract, it means they are determined to stick to their word.

They will absolutely not budge.

"Then should we still go?" Lei Wanbao looked at Zhang Yan with some confusion.

I don't quite understand what Zhang Yan is doing.

“Of course we’ll go. Not only will we go, but I also have a way to ensure that our Qingheng Sect gets a good harvest this time,” Zhang Yan said to Lei Wanbao in a serious tone.

"Alright, in that case, I'll wait and see what Junior Brother Zhang has to say." Although he didn't know what Zhang Yan was up to, Lei Wanbao chose to trust him.
