Chapter 1003 Lingxi Ding!
Su Chenyin didn't think much about it and immediately changed direction and walked towards the old man's stall.
As the distance got closer, the "Spiritual Withered Wood" in her space actually trembled slightly, as if it had received some kind of call.
The old man raised his head, revealing a pair of bright eyes that were extremely disproportionate to his old face.
He smiled slightly, and said in a hoarse but powerful voice: "Little girl, what do you like about me?"
Su Chenyin's heart beat faster.
This old man...is not simple.
She pointed at the small bronze tripod: "Senior, this tripod..."
"Good eyesight." The old man smiled even more, "This tripod is meant for you. But the price..."
Su Chenyin took a deep breath. This time, she felt that the person she was facing was not an ordinary vendor.
The shrewdness that flashed in the old man's eyes was completely different from that of the old woman; it was the look of someone who truly knew what was good.
"Please name your price, senior." She said calmly, while secretly on guard.
If this tripod is really related to the "Lingxi Dead Wood", she must take it down no matter what.
The old man did not answer immediately, but looked at her meaningfully, then said slowly:
"No hurry, little girl. I see that there is a special aura on you that has not yet dissipated. Why don't you tell me what you bought just now?"
Su Chenyin's heart trembled.
If you smell it carefully, you can indeed smell the scent of some dead wood on her.
This old man's sense of smell is so sensitive, it seems that he is really not simple.
She didn't show it on her face, and chuckled, "It's just an ordinary spiritual medicine, used for alchemy."
The old man shook his head and suddenly lowered his voice: "The Lingxi Dead Tree is not ordinary, little girl."
Su Chenyin's pupils suddenly shrank.
Not only did the old man recognize the elixir, he also told it by its name!
“Don’t be nervous.” The old man waved his hand. “If I had intended to snatch it, I wouldn’t be talking to you here.”
He pointed at the small bronze tripod and said, "This tripod is called 'Lingxi Tripod'. It is one with your 'Lingxi Dead Wood'. Only when the two are combined can they exert their true efficacy."
Su Chenyin remained alert: "Who are you, senior? Why do you know so much about this thing?"
The old man smiled but did not answer, only said: "30,000 top-grade spirit stones, and you can take this tripod."
Thirty thousand top-grade spirit stones!
Su Chenyin gritted his teeth secretly.
This price is indeed very expensive, but if it is true as the old man said...
Just as she was hesitating, the Lingxi dead wood in the storage space suddenly vibrated violently, and a strange power wave spread out.
At the same time, the runes on the small bronze tripod began to emit a faint light!
The old man's face changed. "Not good! They have resonated! Make a decision quickly, little girl, or it will attract unnecessary attention and cause trouble!"
Su Chenyin felt several inquiring gazes coming from all around.
She immediately took out a storage bag filled with spirit stones and slapped it on the stall: "Deal!"
The old man quickly pushed the small tripod to her and said, "Leave quickly. Remember, don't let anyone know that you have these two things!"
Su Chenyin didn't have time to ask more questions. He put the small tripod and the note into the storage space, turned around and left quickly.
Jun Yijue and the others saw that she looked so solemn, so they left without asking any more questions.
Su Chenyin could feel several gazes following her closely from behind, but when she turned a few corners, those gazes finally disappeared.
Only after walking to a secluded corner did Su Chenyin relax a little.
Today's trip to the market yielded far more than expected, but it also brought more questions.
Who is that mysterious old man?
Why does he know so much about the "Lingxi Dead Wood"?
What secrets are hidden behind these two things?
She felt the faint resonance coming from two of the objects, and felt both excited and nervous.
Her intuition told her that she was standing on the threshold of some great opportunity.
"Yinyin, are you okay?" Jun Yijue looked at Su Chenyin worriedly.
The other companions also stared at Su Chenyin nervously, with worried looks on their faces.
"I'm fine, don't worry." Su Chenyin gave them a reassuring look.
When everyone saw that Su Chenyin had no intention of answering, they tactfully stopped asking any more questions.
Su Chenyin took a deep breath and suppressed the uneasiness in his heart.
"Cousin, shall we continue shopping?" Lu Ziche's cheerful voice instantly pierced the solemn atmosphere.
"It's still early, why don't we continue walking around? Maybe we can come across something good!" Su Chenyin smiled.
The evening at the market place was dyed golden and red, but the crowds were even more bustling than during the day.
When Su Chenyin passed by a stall selling spiritual medicines, she found that she did not have space for many of the spiritual medicines in the stall.
She squatted down and observed the elixirs carefully.
One of them was as blue as ice crystals, and each feather-like leaf was shining with a cold light.
The other one is golden yellow, with thick roots and golden fruits all over the vines.
The golden skin of the fruit has a glass-like luster, and you can vaguely see the golden juice flowing inside.
There was also a golden elixir with a lotus-shaped flower, and a honey-colored halo seeped between the twelve petals.
She looked at the old stall owner and asked politely, "Old man, how much are these spiritual herbs for?"
The old man's wrinkled hands were wiping the pottery medicine jar, and his cloudy eyes suddenly lit up: "Young lady, you have good eyesight."
His dry branch-like finger pointed at the spiritual grass, "This azure blue one is called Hanyu Spiritual Grass. It can assist in practicing ice-attributed skills, enhance ice-related spiritual power, and temper ice spirits."
"This plant with golden fruit is the 'Golden Fragrance Fruit'. After taking it, it can increase the speed of cultivation, stabilize the realm, and solidify the golden elixir."
“As for this golden lotus fruit…” the old man suddenly lowered his voice, “it is the main ingredient for refining the realm-breaking pill.”
"Little girl, this golden lotus fruit is priced at 50,000 middle-grade spirit stones. As for the other two, each is priced at 30,000 low-grade spirit stones."
After the old man quoted the price, he looked at Su Chenyin quietly, as if observing her reaction.
Su Chenyin estimated in his mind that the price was reasonable.
She said to the old man, "Old man, I want all three. Can you give me a discount?"
The old man looked her up and down at her attire, and suddenly smiled meaningfully: "Little girl, seeing that you really want it, I'll give you a discount. Three plants for a total of 100,000 low-grade spirit stones. What do you think?"
Su Chenyin put away the elixir, his heart filled with joy. Today's harvest was quite great.
When Su Chenyin heard this, she was delighted. This price was lower than she expected.
She nodded quickly and agreed: "Okay, old man, it's settled then."
After paying the spirit stones, Su Chenyin carefully put away the three spiritual herbs and placed them in his own space.
She was in a particularly good mood, and today's harvest really made her feel satisfied.
When he was about to leave, Su Chenyin's eyes suddenly fell on a stall not far away.
In the corner of the stall, there was a pile of inconspicuous-looking soil.
This pile of soil emits a strange purple light, as if it hides endless mysteries.
Purple soil is not an ordinary color, but a deep and mysterious purple.
