Chapter 11 Mirage Stone

Due to the secret market, there are really a lot of good things here, such as the Zijin that Wei Tianchong needs, there are several stalls here for sale, and the price is cheap. A piece of purple gold the size of a fist can be sold for more than two or three thousand spiritual coins in Wenxin's country, but it may not be possible to buy it. But here, the asking price is only 1,800 yuan. If you can bargain, you can buy it from 800 to 1200.

This is mainly because precious resources such as Zijin are not not sold to the outside world, but are controlled by the Martial Arts to control exports. Not to mention the limited quantity, the price is still high, which naturally leads to the high price. To put it bluntly, this secret market is a smuggling market and black goods market in the world of cultivating immortals. Without those many intermediate links, the price will naturally drop significantly.

In the final analysis, Zijin is only refined from the ore produced underground, and it has almost no cost at all, and the eight hundred spirit coins are already huge profits.

According to the rules of the Evil Jiao Gang, every item sold here will be charged 20% of the selling price. This commission is not low, but even so, this is still a very profitable business.

Wei Tianchong made a calculation. He brought a total of 10,000 yuan when he came here this time. If he used all of it to buy materials and then brought it back to sell, the price would at least double, and the profit would be equivalent to 100%.

This made him excited. After all, he was from a merchant family. Wei Tianchong seemed to have found a way to make money, and he grabbed Tang Jie and said, "This business is worth doing, Tang Jie. This is a profit for capital and profit. If this Haven't we made the deal of one hundred thousand million spiritual coins?"

Tang Jie looked at him coldly: "Do you have millions of spiritual money?"

Wei Tianchong was immediately dumbfounded, not to mention he didn't have one, even the Wei Mansion didn't have one.

Besides, with so much money, there may not be such a big market.

"Also, this secret market only happens once a year, and the risk is high along the way. Buying and selling goods requires manpower and time. You and I have to practice, and we don't have the energy to ask questions. If you really have to worry about such things, you've made money , What should I do with cultivation? Have you ever heard of a great man who got rich by doing business? Or do you think that as long as you find a way to make a fortune, you can sit there and enjoy it?" Tang Jie added.

Wei Tian rushed and scratched his head: "I'm also worried about money."

Even our young masters sometimes worry about money.

After Wei Tianchong became a true heir, the money given to him by the Wei Mansion did not increase, but actually decreased.

There is no way, the resources spent on cultivating immortals are too great, and even big families cannot support such a huge consumption for many years, so they usually provide a lot of resources for their children in the early stage to lay the foundation, and they must reduce their investment in the later stage.

Generally speaking, when students reach the Linghai stage and have a lot of trial tasks, they have to make money on their own. At this time, the family's investment and their own money are divided into half.

When the student enters Transcendence, the family's investment will be further reduced.

When you go up to the next floor, leave the peak of the mortal world or enter the heart of heaven, it is time for the cultivator to give back to the family.

Because of this, although Wei Tianchong brought 10,000 yuan this time, in fact, only 5,000 of the 10,000 was given by the Wei Mansion, and the remaining 5,000 was saved by himself in the past two years.

Because I passed by along the way, I am also a cultivator, I have a mustard bag with me, and the safety and transportation costs are extremely low, so I can have these profits. And strictly speaking, this is not a profit, it is just saving expenses. To turn it into a profit, you have to continue to spend time selling it after returning to China.

Such as those caravans, after deducting a large amount of manpower and material resources and possible risk losses for 100% profit, an average of 20-30% profit per trip is not bad.

Some unlucky people were robbed several times in a row, and it was hard to say that they went bankrupt.

But that being said, Tang Jie still said: "We can't do it, Wei Mansion can still do it. After you go back, you can tell your wife about the situation here. It should be no problem if Wei Mansion does this business. .”

"That's a good idea." Shi Meng also supported it.

To be able to open up another source of income for the Wei Mansion is to earn more cultivation resources for himself.

During the conversation, the three of them did not forget their business. Wei Tianchong had bought a piece of Zijin and was looking for other materials.

Tang Jie also walked around, looking for what he needed.

While walking, Tang Jie saw an item on a stall not far away.

It was a piece of black wood, about a foot long, round in shape, with red patterns wrapped around its body.

Seeing this thing, Tang Jie walked over and said, "Can I pick it up and have a look?"

The man who set up the stall was a middle-aged man. Hearing this, he replied in a rough voice: "This is a thousand-year-old blood-patterned wood heart, worth 10,000 yuan, and ten pieces of Lingyu, you can see it as you like."

"I'll use this as a mortgage." Tang Jie took out two pieces of Ruanxiang jade and put them on the stage. The middle-aged man saw that it was Ruan Xiangyu, his eyes lit up immediately.

Tang Jie had already picked up the wooden heart and looked at it carefully.

Blood-grained wood is a good material for cultivating the world, whether it is making puppets, setting up formations, or even refining weapons.

Millennium goods are not easy to come by, so Tang Jie didn't take the word "millennium" to heart, thinking that it would be nice to have a hundred years. But after getting the blood-grained wood, Tang Jie found that this middle-aged man was really not a braggart.

Bloodgrain wood is an extremely heavy wood, and the longer it ages, the heavier it becomes. Holding this small piece of blood-grained wood in his hand, it weighs at least a hundred catties. It may be thousands of years old, and he doesn't know where he got it from.

If this is the case, 10,000 yuan is really not expensive, but because of this, Tang Jie became suspicious.

Tang Jie took a closer look and finally found the problem.

The blood-patterned wooden heart looks like a whole, but if you look closely, you can find faint cracks.

This meant that it was very likely that it had been disemboweled, but the bloodstained wood had the ability to heal itself, and it gradually made up for the broken part, leaving only a small gap.

In other words, this piece of bloodgrain wood was artificially fake, most likely because metal was stuffed inside to increase its weight. This counterfeiter is also careful, using the real blood-grained wood to fake it, just to increase the number of years, and the cost is not low, even the metal used to increase the weight is also a spiritual material level. If it weren't for Tang Jie's good insight, it would not be easy to find out.

"It's a pity..." Tang Jie sighed, and whispered: "In order to make a fake thousand-year-old blood-patterned wooden heart, I just ruined a real blood-patterned wooden heart."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" The middle-aged man's face changed when he heard the words, and he glared at Tang Jie.

Tang Jie just shook his head and put it down, and was about to take back his own things when the middle-aged man pressed on the back of Tang Jie's hand: "Boy, if you don't buy it, don't buy it. What do you mean by slandering? If you don't say anything today Just understand, don’t even try to take away the collateral!”

"What? Did you fancy my baby?" Tang Jie smiled. He leaned over and whispered to the middle-aged man: "Because there are not many people now, everyone will go their own way. If there is a commotion, the business of finding fools will not be easy."

The middle-aged man laughed: "Are you scaring me? You don't even look at this place. Let me tell you, if you don't explain to me today, I really can't let you go."

Tang Jie sighed.

It's very simple for him to prove that the blood-grained wood is fake, just pick it up and smash it into pieces, but this is equivalent to smashing the opponent's job, after all, the cost and effort of fake wood is quite a lot.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. He didn't want to be troublesome, so he picked up the blood-grained wood again. I wanted to pretend to look at it, and just admit that I was wrong, but at this moment, my heart suddenly moved, and I focused my eyes on the blood-stained wood, and there was a faint feeling of passing through the wood.

Surprised and joyful in his heart, he calmly stared at the blood-stained wood, feeling as if he had entered a whole new world.

In his eyes, the veins of the blood-grained wood continued to magnify, gradually filling the entire field of vision, replaced by a grotesque world in the wood, every fiber and every pore was magnified at this moment, just like the world under a microscope , and even continue to infiltrate into the interior.

Finally, the eyes passed through the wooden skin, showing a black metallic luster, like a claustrophobic and dark space...

"Hey, you really are talking!" The roar of the middle-aged man was still ringing in Tang Jie's ears.

Tang Jie could no longer concentrate his attention, and the scenery in front of him suddenly changed, as if he had returned from the dark and mysterious world to the human world.

Tang Jie let out a long breath, and said with a smile: "So it's Black Star Iron, no wonder it's so heavy."

As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged man trembled all over.

How did he know that the blood-grained wood was filled with black star iron?

Seeing the other party's performance, Tang Jie knew that he was right.

This made him very excited. He never thought that his way of insight could be useful in this respect. If so, wouldn't it be easier for him to find materials in the future, and he would no longer have to worry about being deceived or missing good things.

Suppressing the joy in his heart, Tang Jie looked at the middle-aged man coldly and said, "Let go!"

The middle-aged man didn't dare to stop Tang Jie anymore, he could only watch him take the things back.

Tang Jie laughed and said, "Three hundred dollars, buy me and shut up, or you won't be able to sell this thing again."

While speaking, he spit out vigor, making the cracks on the blood-stained wood more obvious. Since this person made fake products and plotted against himself, he didn't mind blackmailing him, and at the same time cheated the other party.

Next, Tang Jie wandered around, experimenting everywhere with his new insight.

He soon discovered that the Eye of Insight does not work on every material, the higher the quality of the item, the harder it is for the Eye of Insight to penetrate. In addition, some high-grade materials themselves have extremely strong spirituality, and the eye of insight is not enough to penetrate their interior.

For example, soft fragrant jade will not work.

But in any case, at least 70% of the goods in this secret market have no secrets in Tang Jie's eyes. He can tell the authenticity of many things with just a glance, but unfortunately he has not found any secret treasures.

At this moment Tang Jie was spinning, when he saw Wei Tiancong squeezed over suddenly, beckoning to Tang Jie, "Tang Jie, come and see this."

I saw Wei Tianchong was holding a small piece of broken jade in his hand and beckoning to himself.

Tang Jie took it over and looked at it carefully, and said, "This is a fragment of the soul jade? Where did you find it?"

Soul jade is an extremely rare spiritual material, which can entrust the soul and cultivate the mind, and is a treasure in the eyes of high-level practitioners. It's a pity that the piece in Wei Tianchong's hand is just a fragment, and its effect has been greatly lost, otherwise it would not be possible to appear in this secret city.

"It's the booth over there, it only costs 800 yuan, isn't it good?" Wei Tian said triumphantly.

"That's right, it's the real thing." Tang Jie praised.

If this thing is placed on the puppet, it can greatly enhance the effect of Wei Tianchong's Black Water Soul Art.

"Is there any more?" Tang Jie asked.

"There seems to be another piece."

Tang Jie walked over hurriedly, and sure enough there was still a piece of debris on the booth, and after checking it was found to be genuine, Tang Jie asked Wei Tianchong to buy it for him.

Wei Tianchong wondered: "You don't know how to send souls in black water, what do you want it for?"

"I have my uses." Tang Jie smiled.

When he came here this time, he planned to buy something to put his soul on, but he searched around but couldn't find it, but unexpectedly, Wei Tianchong found it.

At this moment, he scanned around habitually. Tang Jie was about to leave when he suddenly stopped and looked back, looking at a mirage stone on the booth.

The mirage stone comes from a giant sea beast called a mirage beast, which has the effect of teleporting shadows. It was this thing that Ji Wujiu used to control the Jiugong Mitian Formation on Fengmo Island back then.

The piece in front of Tang Jie's eyes is much smaller than the one on Fengmo Island, only about one-fifth of the volume on Fengmo Island, and it is still a rough stone, unpolished, and of average quality.

What Tang Jie really cared about was that when he looked at the mirage stone just now, he habitually used the method of insight, but found that there was something vaguely inside the mirage stone.

Tang Jie simply took the mirage stone in his hand and looked at it carefully, but unfortunately he couldn't see the inside clearly even if he used his eyesight enough. After his eyes went deep into the inside, it seemed to be swallowed by something, which surprised Tang Jie greatly.
