Chapter 135: The Old Taoist Priest in Ghost Market
Yang Qing was still confused. It seemed that he had no connection with the Gu family in the imperial capital!
Seeing Yang Qing's puzzled expression, Gu Nianci continued:
"I am a disciple of Wuji Sect. I have seen Instructor Yang from afar in Emei!"
Yang Qing suddenly realized that Wujimen was a small sect, so he had not paid attention to it!
"I see! Then you are here..."
Gu Nianci smiled:
"The Imperial Capital Ghost Market is managed by my Gu family!"
At this time, Gu Nian'en said:
"My sister keeps talking about Instructor Yang since she came back, and this time I finally get to see him!"
Gu Nianci's face instantly turned red with embarrassment, and she glared at her brother fiercely:
"If you keep talking nonsense, go home!"
Yang Qing looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose. In this situation, he thought it would be better to pretend to be stupid!
Gu Nianci asked again:
"This should be the junior sister from Emei, right?"
Yun Yao nodded:
"Emei Yunyao!"
Gu Nianci asked everyone to sit down and asked:
"Instructor Yang, is this your first time at the Ghost Market?"
Yang Qing smiled:
"Not bad!"
Gu Nianci said:
"The Ghost Market has its own rules. Generally, people who come here won't show their true faces!"
Yang Qing said:
“No wonder everyone wears a mask when they see it outside!”
Gu Nianci continued to ask:
"Instructor Yang, is there anything you want to buy?"
Yang Qing shook his head:
"I'm just here to take a look. If I find something suitable, I'd be happy to buy some!"
Gu Nianci nodded, turned to the desk, opened the drawer, took out a black card and handed it to Yang Qing:
"In the Ghost Market, transactions are not conducted with Daxia coins. Everyone who enters will open an account in the Ghost Market and exchange it for Yuan coins! Only in this way can transactions be conducted in the Ghost Market!
Here are 100,000 coins! For Instructor Yang to use! "
Yang Qing took the card and looked at the front and back curiously:
"Is there such a rule? Then the exchange rate between Daxia currency and Yuan currency is 1 to 1?"
Gu Nian'en said first:
"Daxia Coin is exchanged for 1 Yuan Coin! At the time of settlement, 1 Yuan Coin will be exchanged for 9000 Daxia Coins!"
Yang Qing and the other two were stunned. Wouldn't these 100,000 coins be equivalent to 1 billion Daxia coins?
Yang Qing said:
"Okay, use this card of mine!"
After saying that, he took out a card and handed it to Gu Nianci!
Gu Nianci smiled slightly and pushed the bank card back to Yang Qing:
"Instructor Yang, you're joking. This is just a small gift from the Gu family. Instructor Yang, just take it and play with it!"
Xiao Fan and Yang Qing were fine, as their funds were already astronomical, so 1 billion was nothing to them. But Yun Yao had never seen so much money before, and looked at Gu Nianci with a confused look on her face:
“Sister Gu, are you just giving us so much money?”
Yang Qing shrank his neck. How could this girl just say it directly?
Gu Nianci smiled:
"It's just a small token of my appreciation, nothing to worry about! Nian'en, go get three masks!"
Gu Nian'en said "oh" and turned to a shelf to take down three masks and handed them to the three people.
Gu Nianci also took out a silver mask and said:
"Let me go downstairs with you for a walk!"
Yang Qing thought for a moment:
"Alright! Thank you so much!"
The four of them went downstairs together and walked into the depths of the ghost market! As soon as they entered the ghost market, the three of them were immediately attracted by the many goods!
In the ghost market, there are many people wearing black robes or masks. Their stalls are very simple, with a layer of plastic cloth spread on the ground, and then the goods are placed randomly. Unlike the market, there is no hawking here.
If someone takes a fancy to a product, they will bargain in a low voice. If they can reach an agreement, they will pay and take it away. If not, they will just go their separate ways!
It was the first time for the three of them to enter the ghost market. They looked around, and Gu Nianci accompanied them.
Suddenly, Yang Qing's attention was attracted by a man dressed as a Taoist priest at the corner. The man was wearing a tattered yellow Taoist robe and a ghost mask on his face. His eyes were bright and sharp in the night.
In front of him was an incense burner, a pile of unknown stones, and a piece of sheepskin!
Yang Qing stared at the sheepskin intently and tugged at Xiao Fan. Xiao Fan was a little confused by the sudden tug, and he looked in the direction Yang Qing was looking, and suddenly froze.
Yang Qing walked over slowly, squatted down and picked up a stone. He thought it was just an ordinary stone and would be no different. But the moment he picked it up, Yang Qing clearly felt a pure spiritual energy!
"This is... a spirit stone!"
The old Taoist's voice was hoarse, and he spoke slowly and calmly:
"This is a spiritual stone! It contains the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!"
The old Taoist picked up a spiritual stone and said:
"Don't look at the plain surface of this spirit stone, but inside..."
The old Taoist lightly pinched the stone, and it cracked. A crystal clear spiritual stone appeared in his palm! A ray of light shot out from the spiritual stone!
Yang Qing looked at the spirit stone and felt that the spiritual energy here was more refined than the vital energy. He asked:
"How to sell it?"
The old Taoist held up a finger, and Yun Yao blurted out:
"One yuan coin?"
The old Taoist shook his head:
"Ten Yuan coins for one Spirit Stone!"
Yun Yao opened her mouth wide:
"So expensive? Doesn't that mean one Spirit Stone is worth 100,000 Great Xia coins?"
Yang Qing looked at the spirit stone. The stone was not big, just about the size of a marble!
The old Taoist stroked his beard:
"Spirit stones are extremely rare in this world, but there are very few people who know their value. Even if you buy 10 yuan coins here, if those hidden old monsters see them, they can sell them for 100 yuan coins!"
Yang Qing had no doubt about what he said. In his previous life in the heavens, such low-grade spirit stones would be fought over by all kinds of masters! If it were a high-grade spirit stone, a single piece of spirit stone would attract many forces to fight to the death!
"Unfortunately, this is a low-grade spirit stone!"
When the old Taoist heard Yang Qing's words, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes:
"I didn't expect that the little brother is such an expert!"
Yang Qing smiled:
"Where did you get this spirit stone?"
The old Taoist looked at Yang Qing warily and said:
“I dug it myself!”
Yang Qing smiled:
"If I ask you where you dug it, you won't tell me, right?"
The old Taoist chuckled:
"Exactly!"
Are you kidding? How can others know about your precious land?
Yang Qing smiled and counted the stones:
"Twelve! I want them all!"
After saying that, he handed over the card given by Gu Nianci. Who would have thought that when the old Taoist saw the card in Yang Qing's hand, his whole body trembled noticeably:
“This is the Gu family’s black card!”
Yang Qing took a look at the card in his hand and asked curiously:
"What's wrong?"
The old Taoist laughed awkwardly:
"So you're a distinguished guest of the Gu family. I'll give you 100 yuan coins!"
After saying that, without waiting for Yang Qing to speak, he took the card swiftly, scanned it on a special machine, and the payment was successful!
The old Taoist put the spirit stones in a black cloth bag and handed it to Yang Qing together with the black card!
Yang Qing pretended to point at the sheepskin and asked:
"What is this sheepskin?"
The old Taoist smiled:
"It's just a piece of map, just a part of it. It's useless. If you like it, take it!"
Yang Qing took the sheepskin calmly and stuffed it into the bag:
"Thanks then!"
"By the way, do you still have any spirit stones?"
When the old Taoist heard this, he said happily:
"Yes, yes, yes! If you want more, come back here tomorrow night and I'll bring it to you!"
