Chapter 5 - Black Iron Sheet

Xiao Ling held Xiao Xun'er's hand, and the two walked through the store. After a while, they arrived at the grocery market. The merchants here basically put a blanket and put things on it. There are all kinds of items, they may be rare treasures, but most of them are worthless things.

When they arrived at the grocery market, Xiao Ling wanted to tease Xiao Xun'er, so he said: "Xun'er, this is a famous shopping market in Wutan City. Why don't you try to buy something here today and see? Do you lose money or make money?"

Xiao Xun'er first lowered her head and thought for a while, then opened her left hand and made a fist with her right hand, and suddenly smashed her right fist into her left hand, as if she had thought about it.

Then she gave Xiao Ling a sly smile and said, "Brother Xiao Ling, just keep an eye on him."

Then she took Xiao Ling's hand to a stall owner, pointed to a wooden box on the stall, and then said: "What is the condition of this wooden box and what is its price?"

The boss was a man in black robes. When Xiao Ling's soul power perception was swept away, he only felt that the soul power was flowing into the sea, and he could not feel the fluctuation of Dou Qi at all. This made Xiao Ling frown, secretly becoming vigilant, and planning to leave. time to facilitate evacuation.

The man in black robe said: "Only one of these three wooden boxes contains one hundred gold coins, and each is sold for fifty gold coins."

Hearing this, Xiao Xun'er's eyes lit up, she paid fifty pieces, and immediately took away a wooden box in the middle, handed it to Xiao Ling, and blinked expectantly.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling had no choice but to open it. When he saw the one hundred gold coins inside, a flash of enlightenment flashed in his eyes.

Seeing Xiao Xun'er's excitement, Xiao Ling sighed in his heart: "My casual joke can make her invite a strong Dou Huang warrior to perform with her. This girl is really heartwarming. I will definitely live up to you in this life."

He touched Xiao Xun'er's head: "Then I will use your luck to find an opportunity today." After saying that, he took Xiao Xun'er's hand and walked deeper into the grocery market.

"Huh? Is this...?"

Xiao Ling's expression suddenly changed slightly. He glanced at a stall in front of him and found unusual soul fluctuations on a piece of black iron, so he took Xiao Xun'er's hand and came to the stall.

The stall in front of me is not large, and there are more than a dozen items scattered on the stall.

The most valuable among them are a few magic cores(Monster core). They are green in color and should be first-order magiccores.

The monster core on the Dou Qi Continent, is also called the magic energy crystal core, the prototype of the pill, and so on.

As the name suggests, this is an energy crystal core in the body of Warcraft(Magic monsters), which is filled with extremely violent heaven and earth energy.

Under normal circumstances, only monsters can devour the magic core and directly absorb the energy of heaven and earth contained in the magic core.

If a human being directly inhales the energy of heaven and earth in the magic core, he or she may become possessed by a demon and have his meridians severed, or he may die suddenly on the spot.

Although the energy of the magic core is violent and cannot be used directly by practitioners, it can shine in the hands of alchemists. It is the main material often used by alchemists when refining medicine.

After the alchemist uses exquisite fire control skills to refine it, and mixes it with some other medicinal materials to calm down the violent fighting spirit in the magic core, it can be transformed into an elixir that can enhance the practitioner's strength.

Moreover, the magic core can not only be used to refine medicine, but can also be used to make weapons or some hand accessories to add attribute effects to weapons, or to add some functions to decorations that are beneficial to cultivation.

Therefore, in Dou Qi Continent, magic core has always been one of the most sought-after main materials, and the price remains high.

Xiao Ling knelt down and pointed at the magic cores. He accidentally glanced at the ordinary piece of black iron and said casually to the treacherous-looking middle-aged mercenary sitting next to the stall: "Then What's the price for a few magic cores, boss?"

"Here are two wood-attribute magic cores and one water-attribute magic core."

The middle-aged mercenary glanced at Xiao Ling and Xiao Xun'er with his peripheral vision and saw that although they were still young, they had extraordinary temperament and seemed to be able to afford magic cores. Then he smiled and said: " Young Master, if you sincerely want to buy it, I will sell it to you for 1,500 gold coins."

"Three of them cost 1,500 gold coins. Isn't it too expensive?"

Xiao Ling frowned and said angrily: "Other people's first-order magic cores cost between 400 and 500 gold coins each. How come yours is so expensive?"

"Why is it so expensive? It's been this price for so many years. Young Master, these magic cores I have are all top-quality magic cores, and the types of magic beasts are also relatively difficult to deal with."

The middle-aged mercenary shook his head and said: "Several brothers in our mercenary group were injured because of this, so we got these magic cores, so they are more expensive than ordinary first-level magic cores."

Xiao Ling pondered for a while and said: "Four hundred and fifty gold coins each. If you sincerely sell it, I will sell all three at once."

"The minimum price is four hundred and eight gold coins. Young Master, if the price is too cheap, how will I deal with our brothers when I go back!"

"Four hundred and sixty gold coins each!"

Xiao Ling stood up, took Xiao Xun'er's hand as if to leave, and then said: "The magic core is not unique to your family, so maybe I won't buy it from you."

"Four hundred and seventy gold coins each, okay, young master."

When the middle-aged mercenary saw that his client was about to leave, he quickly shouted: "Young master, how about we each take a step back?"

"Okay! Four hundred and seventy gold coins each, pack it up for me, and you can give me some small gifts." Xiao Ling casually grabbed a few inconspicuous gadgets on the carpet.

When the middle-aged mercenary saw that what Xiao Ling took was just some worthless things, only a few gold coins, he felt relaxed immediately, but with a look of a big loss on his face, he said: "Okay. Well, I worked hard to find this from the Warcraft Cave. It must be a treasure. I suffered a loss myself."

The excitement in Xiao Ling's eyes flashed away, he took out the gold coin and handed it over, then packed his things and left with Xiao Xun'er in hand.

On the way, Xiao Xun'er saw Xiao Ling's excitement and couldn't help but said: "Why does brother Xiao Ling look so happy? What brother Xiao Ling wanted to buy just now should be those small porcelains."

"Xun'er is so smart. You have guessed all this. I am born with a strong soul. This piece of black iron gives me a strange feeling. Although I don't know what it is used for, I will take it back and study it to see if I can find out. What a secret." Xiao Ling took out the black iron piece and said to Xiao Xun'er.

"Brother Xiao Ling, you are so smart. That businessman is a profiteer at first glance." Xiao Xun'er said with a smile.

"These guys are all profiteers. As soon as they see you showing interest in something, they will deliberately raise the price. I don't want to be taken advantage of." Xiao Ling put away the black iron piece and stopped thinking about it. matter.

The two walked among the shops, gave each other some gifts, slowly walked out of Fangshi, and returned to Xiao's house in the face of the slowly rising sun.
