Chen Yang couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this.
anwhile, Lisa was feeling indignant.
"Old man, you know these are historical cultivation techniques, right? They’re outdated compared to modern rhythms. I think you can only trade these for money; if you’re insisting on Spirit Stones, you definitely won’t sell them." Lisa said, crossing her arms and standing aside defiantly.
The old man seed sowhat moved, opening his eyes to look at Lisa.
"Young girl, that’s not the way to say it. Although these are historical cultivation techniques, they can still be quite helpful to our cultivation!"
"Besides, many cultivators are interested in exploring ancient cultivation thods as well!"
"If you intend to trade, then take a look. If not, don’t waste ti. I’ve said I want Spirit Stones, and I definitely want Spirit Stones."
The old man waved his hand slightly, showing an attitude of not bothering.
Lisa opened her mouth, wanting to say sothing but nothing ca out.
At this mont, Chen Yang was already seriously flipping through the ancient books on the stall.
After so browsing, he found that these ancient books were indeed similar to what the old man had described, mostly various cultivation techniques with a good number of years.
However, these techniques were divided into several categories.
The best parts were incomplete, while the complete ones were just so very ordinary techniques, not aningful to him.
Another part of them was fake.
The old man’s words made sense; these ancient books were probably found in so places.
But in order to earn more Spirit Stones, he mixed so artificially aged books into these ancient books.
Others might not notice, but Chen Yang clearly did.
"How is it, my young friend? Did anything catch your eye?"
The old man noticed Chen Yang flipping through the books and proactively asked with a smile.
"The stuff is all good, but so far I haven’t seen anything satisfactory yet. I’ll keep looking." Chen Yang replied after looking up.
"Alright, feel free to look around. Let know if you find sothing you like." The old man smiled and said, then slowly closed his eyes, continuing to ditate.
Then Chen Yang seriously browsed at the stall.
After about four or five minutes, he picked out a relatively complete and interesting ancient book.
It was a book about spiritual beasts and descriptions of field flowers, grass, and fruits with Spiritual Energy.
Chen Yang chose this book just to learn more; he didn’t have any other intentions.
"Old man, how much is this?"
Chen Yang picked up the book and asked the old man.
The old man heard the voice, opened his eyes for a glance, and then replied without hesitation: "One mid-grade Spirit Stone and an additional low-grade Spirit Stone."
"Huh? Old man, aren’t you asking a bit too much? For a book like this, how can you ask for a mid-grade Spirit Stone?"
Lisa was again unable to sit still, speaking in astonishnt from the side.
Chen Yang was sowhat puzzled by Lisa’s ntion of mid-grade and low-grade.
Could Spirit Stones be classified by rank?
"Chen Yang, this is way too expensive; you absolutely shouldn’t pay. A mid-grade Spirit Stone costs at least two to three million, that’s way too valuable!" Lisa saw that Chen Yang didn’t quite understand, so she quickly explained using a monetary concept.
Upon hearing the two to three million, Chen Yang imdiately understood.
The old man wanted the sa level as the first Spirit Stone he absorbed back then.
That was indeed quite high.
Not to ntion its monetary value, even the Spiritual Energy contained within is abundant.
No way a re old book would be worth such a Spirit Stone.
Not to ntion that it’s just a regular informative ancient book, not helping his strength at all.
"Old man, this is really asking too much. I think this book is worth at most a low-grade Spirit Stone." Lisa said to the old man.
The old man didn’t say anything upon hearing this.
Seeing this, Chen Yang naturally understood that Lisa’s proposed price could be negotiated, so he also spoke from the side: "It’s just an informative ancient book, and it doesn’t hold much value for . If you want to sell it, a low-grade Spirit Stone should be fair."
The old man hesitated slightly, but finally, with a reluctant expression, nodded in agreent.
"Alright, as you’re the first custor at my stall, you can take this book for one low-grade Spirit Stone!" The old man waved his hand.
Chen Yang smiled, "Great, I’ll take it."
Once the deal was made, he didn’t delay.
He directly tossed out a low-grade Spirit Stone.
This Spirit Stone was extracted from a mineral vein, and although he absorbed quite a bit recently, there were still one or two left, not yet absorbed.
Now it ca in handy.
"Young friend, you really scored big! This book so many wanted, I didn’t sell, yet you took it for a low-grade Spirit Stone." The old man laughed.
Naturally, Chen Yang only smiled at such remarks, not taking them seriously.
After giving the Spirit Stone, he collected the purchased ancient book and left the stall with Lisa, continuing to walk forward.
"Chen Yang, why are you interested in such things? A low-grade Spirit Stone, it’s a bit of a loss."
After leaving the stall, Lisa was still sowhat peeved about the earlier matter.
Because in the cultivation world, the price of Spirit Stones is very high.
Even a single low-grade Spirit Stone.
"Is it really a loss? Just one low-grade Spirit Stone, it’s no big deal."
But in Chen Yang’s eyes, Spirit Stones are relatively easy to obtain, if necessary, he could find another opportunity to mine more.
"What do you an, just one low-grade Spirit Stone? I only earn one low-grade Spirit Stone as my monthly salary, plus so other auxiliary cultivation resources. You’re really talking too lightly." Lisa couldn’t help but exclaim.
Pfft.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang finally understood why Lisa was so sensitive about Spirit Stones.
Turns out her monthly salary was only a single Spirit Stone...
"Only one Spirit Stone? Commissioner Ma is really stingy." Chen Yang quipped.
"..."
Lisa was directly speechless.
It’s not Commissioner Ma’s stinginess; their secret departnt’s treatnt is already considered really good, and they are granted Spirit Stones at only the Profound Strength Realm.
Normally, so organizations or gangs only offer ordinary money or cultivation resources to those at the Profound Strength level.
Spirit Stone distribution is absolutely impossible.
After all, these are precious, able to rapidly enhance a cultivator’s cultivation, and their production is extrely low.
Sotis, they can’t even be bought with money.
After purchasing a book, Chen Yang found nothing truly useful during their leisurely stroll.
So they decided to leave the street.
But just as they were about to leave, a figure suddenly blocked their path.
"You two, I heard you just bought a book at the stall?"
The figure spoke, their voice very coarse, sounding quite uncomfortable.
"Who are you?"
Lisa frowned slightly, looking at the mysterious figure in a black robe in front of her.
"You don’t need to know who I am; just tell whether you bought it?" The person said.
"Yes, we bought it. Why? Is there a problem?" Lisa replied, sowhat annoyed and unapologetic.
"I’ll give you two low-grade Spirit Stones, sell it to ."
The figure spoke without hesitation, directly offering a price.
Their attitude left Lisa slightly stunned, montarily unsure how to respond.
She had to turn her head and look at Chen Yang.
