C603 Auction
When the young man heard this, he hurriedly raised his head and saw Zhou Yi standing beside him with a smile on his face. Then, his gaze landed on the bottle.
"For me?" The young man stopped crying and pointed at his nose.
Zhou Yi shook his head with a smile. "No, I will trade with you for that East Pearl in your hands!"
"Don't joke around, my bead is not worth much. Your pill and bottle can be exchanged for two of my beads!" The young man looked at Zhou Yi as if he was looking at a fool.
Seeing his expression, Zhou Yi really wanted to slap him twice, but seeing his filial piety, he endured it and gritted his teeth: "Everything is worth it or not worth it. Although this Eastern Pearl of yours is not high quality, it's just what I need, so I'm here to exchange it with you. But if you don't agree, then forget it!"
With that, Zhou Yi was about to put the bottle away.
"I'll trade, I'll trade!" Seeing that Zhou Yi was about to go back on his word, the young man quickly reached out and snatched the bottle away. Then, he stuffed the pearl in his hand into Zhou Yi's hand.
After that, he stood up and bowed to Zhou Yi, saying, "My name is Dong Hua. If there is a place where I am needed in the future, I will spare no effort."
Zhou Yi laughed secretly in his heart, but he still replied with a serious face: "I hope you can do what you say!"
"Don't worry, I will do it. My family lives in …"
"Alright, hurry up and go save your mother!" Before Dong Hua could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhou Yi. Before he could react, Zhou Yi had already turned around and walked into the pawnshop.
With this delay, the number plate inside reached more than a hundred.
Not long after Zhou Yi sat down, someone brought him to the entrance.
"What does mister want to be?" The deacon in the mouth was also an old man in his fifties or sixties, he smiled and said to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi pondered for a moment. He had always wanted to use the treasures in the cave to exchange for some money, but after thinking for a while, he felt reluctant and asked: "Can you accept any pills here?"
The old man raised his head, glanced at Zhou Yi and smiled, "We, Qi Ruzhai, can do anything but take a life!"
When Zhou Yi heard this, he also laughed: "Then that's good!"
Thus, Zhou Yi took out a few porcelain bottles and passed them over to the old man, saying, "Inside are the Searing Dragon Pill, the White Jade Creek Pill, the Fire Python Pill, the Lightning Sinking Pill, and the two Spirit Replenishing Pills!"
The pills that Zhou Yi took out were all pills that he had concocted using his own hands when he had nothing better to do.
The actual usage was not great, but the grade was very high.
They were basically already at the seventh to eighth stage, so these kinds of pellets were usually only usable by people with Transcendency Stage or above. People with low levels of cultivation wouldn't be able to eat them, and they also couldn't afford to buy them.
Seeing Zhou Yi take out these pills, the expression on the old man's face changed. He then said, "Please wait a moment, these pills are not my forte. I need professionals to help me identify them!"
Zhou Yi nodded and declined to comment.
Not long later, the elder took the pill bottle back and said, "There are a total of six pills. According to the two hundred taels per pill, there is a total of one thousand and two hundred taels. Take a look …"
"What if I die?" Zhou Yi raised his eyes and looked at the old man.
When the old man heard this, he was overjoyed, "If I die, I can get another hundred taels of silver for a single pill!"
Zhou Yi stretched out his hand: "Money!"
The old man quickly took out a silver note and a large bag of silver and handed it over to Zhou Yi: "Take this one thousand taels notes. I'm afraid you are in a hurry to use the money. Here's eight hundred taels!"
Zhou Yi nodded in satisfaction, put the money away properly, turned around and walked out of the pawnshop.
When they arrived at the street, Zhou Yi found a medium-sized inn and booked a room.
The next morning, Zhou Yi went downstairs to eat breakfast. The two people beside him were discussing, so Zhou Yi paid attention to what they were saying.1
So it turned out that three days after Sunset City, there was an auction, and most of the items being auctioned were rare and precious.
Zhou Yi thought to himself, "The cultivation of the people in this city is so high, I'm sure this auction is full of good stuff. It looks like I need to take a look at them too!"
However, when they heard the prices discussed between the two of them, it really made them stop in their tracks. It seemed that if they didn't have several thousand taels of gold, they wouldn't be able to buy anything good.
Zhou Yi sighed.
After breakfast, Zhou Yi went for a stroll in the city since he had nothing better to do. Since he had just arrived, he must first understand the local customs, and then think of a way to earn some silver to go to the auction.
Originally, he thought that with over a thousand taels of silver, he would be able to live for a while. However, compared to the auction, he immediately became a pauper.
Zhou Yi's first thought was to do some business. Although there was plenty of spiritual energy here, not everything was there.
There were so many strange things in his world, so Zhou Yi wanted to see if there was anything missing here.
Walking around the street, he found that there seemed to be food and clothing everywhere, almost everything here.
Even if it was a pill that he thought he was proud of, he could sell it here.
Moreover, the price was not satisfactory.
Even the grade seven or eight medicinal pills that he had refined previously were worth at most three hundred taels of silver per pellet. The difference between them and gold was simply too great.
Moreover, concocting pills was time-consuming and laborious. By the time he had saved up enough money, the auction would be closed.
Zhou Yi sighed and continued to stroll on the street.
Walking and walking, they actually walked out of the city, and arrived in front of a rather remote house on the outskirts of the city.
An old man was currently plowing the ground. The ground was very hard, and every step he took would cause the old bull to gasp for breath.
After a while, the old man stopped walking, picked up the kettle on his waist and drank some water. The old bull also rested for a while.
Zhou Yi could clearly see that the old man was in the Golden Body Realm. Even if he didn't want to waste the Spiritual Force s, setting up a small array to make the ground soft was not a difficult matter, but why did he want to let this old man suffer?
Thinking about this, Zhou Yi couldn't help but stay silent: "Old man, it's so easy for you to set up a loose soil formation, why do you have to suffer so much!"
"What?" The old man seemed not to understand and asked.
"I said, lay down a small formation that will loosen up the soil, and after a short while, wouldn't this place be done?" Zhou Yi repeated.
The old man didn't seem to hear it clearly. This time, he not only asked, but also approached Zhou Yi.
"What young lad? What formation?"
Zhou Yi was surprised. He couldn't possibly not know how to use such a simple array, right? Then, he said, "Please wait a moment!"
After saying that, Zhou Yi took two steps forward and formed a seal with his hands. He pointed his finger towards the ground and instantly, the ground began to be plowed.
"This, this, what kind of magic is this? How come this old man has never absorbed this in his entire life before?" The old man was overjoyed, he quickly pulled Zhou Yi's hand and smiled.
Zhou Yi was surprised: "You don't even know what a formation is? In this Sunset City, don't you guys have people who can set up formations? "
"I've never heard of it. What is a formation?" The old man had a silly look on his face.
When Zhou Yi heard this, he couldn't help but smile. It seemed like it wouldn't take much effort to find it!
