Because it is too close to Bai's Lingshan, the market is not too large, but thanks to the strength of the Bai family, the supply of various spiritual objects is still quite abundant.
When Sun Mingsheng opened up the trade route to Bai's Lingshan, he also came to this market to conduct a transaction, so he is quite familiar with the environment here.
In addition to buying spiritual objects that enhance combat effectiveness, he also needs to keep his whereabouts secret, so he is destined to be unable to go to the shops opened by the Bai family.
The number of cultivators coming and going here is too complicated, and coupled with his special identity, it is easy to fall into the eyes of some people with ulterior motives.
Therefore, after entering the market, Sun Mingsheng went straight to a relatively remote path and stopped at a shabby door panel. There was no sign or name, and the shop looked shabby.
After Sun Mingsheng looked around and confirmed that there were no other cultivators following him, he restrained his breath, put on a black coat that could resist the sweep of spiritual consciousness, and strode into it.
The shop was dark. There was no source of light except for a candle that burned for a long time in the corner, which provided a little pitiful light.
The small shop was not large. There was nothing else except a shabby table. When you entered it, the first thing you encountered was a foul smell mixed with countless flavors.
"What is this Taoist friend doing here? What do you need?" An old man with a shabby beard appeared without any sign like a ghost.
There was still some undropped liquor on his long beard, and his left hand full of black spots held a spiritual bean and put it into his mouth.
This old man was the owner of the shop, a seemingly inconspicuous but genuine ninth-level foundation-building cultivator.
In any market, there are usually similar shops. The sources of their goods are quite complicated, but they are typical of good quality and low prices.
Of course, the process of purchasing spiritual objects is also a test of the cultivator's eyesight. If you can't identify the defects in them, it is normal to buy some defective products.
When Sun Mingsheng first came to Bai's Lingshan to open up trade routes and conduct transactions, he had visited this shop. It has been so long, but everything here seems to have not changed at all.
"I need some second-level high-quality talismans and some second-level high-quality one-time explosive spiritual weapons or high-quality defensive spiritual weapons." Sun Mingsheng went straight to the point and did not hide his purpose.
"It seems that you have encountered a lot of trouble. All your needs are popular treasures, and you are often in a state of not making enough money. Yes, all those that meet the requirements are here, choose for yourself." After sighing, the old man took out a worn storage bag.
And poured all of them on the worn wooden table, allowing him to choose.
There are a total of eight spiritual objects on the wooden table, four of which are obviously stained with unknown blood. Each of them exudes amazing spiritual power, and they are all second-level high-quality talismans.
However, as a talisman master with superb skills, he can make a basic judgment on the inner nature of the talisman through the surface.
Two of them were constantly emitting bursts of spiritual light, and seemed to be in a full state and ready to be used at any time, but they were in an unstable state.
This state of the talisman was obviously caused by the excessive consumption of its own spiritual power source, which also meant that the two second-level high-quality talismans were already on the verge of being scrapped.
If they were used in battle, not to mention whether they could cause certain damage to the opponent, the chaos of spiritual power caused by the self-explosion of the talisman would first cause some trouble to the owner and cause him to lose his composure.
However, the remaining two talismans that seemed to have dim spiritual light, in addition to being eroded by blood, still had more than 90% of spiritual power integrated into them, and could play their due role.
The remaining four pieces were three thunder balls that were constantly flashing with lightning light, which were a relatively common one-time explosive spiritual weapon in the world of cultivation.
Of course, this kind of thunder ball was also quite popular due to the power contained in the thunder attribute itself.
On weekdays, they are only occasionally sold in some large stores. Now these three thunder balls are most likely defective products, and at most they can only play about half of their original effects.
The last one is a seal-shaped spiritual tool that is only half of its original size. Perhaps because the loss is too heavy, there is no form of rescue and arrangement.
For the second-level high-quality spiritual objects suitable for late-stage foundation-building cultivators, the number has been reduced. Although they have been mentally prepared for a long time, when the old man in front of them put all the storage in the store in front of them, they are still a little stunned.
In the end, Sun Mingsheng only chose two talismans and a thunder ball, and that's all, but he paid for spiritual objects worth nearly 10,000 spiritual stones.
This is because these spiritual objects themselves have more or less problems and discounts. If you buy a brand new spiritual object, you need to at least double it.
"Leaving Bai's Spiritual Mountain is to come to the market to buy some spiritual objects needed for cultivation?"
Under the guidance of the talisman, Liang Chaoyuan also appeared in the market. His face was full of contempt, and at the same time, a look of ease flashed in his eyes, as if he had a deeper understanding of the opponent's strength.
Liang Chaoyuan's figure kept searching around in the small market. Half an hour later, he happened to pass by Sun Mingsheng who was leaving the dilapidated shop.
The Liang family was not too far away from the Bai family's Lingshan, and they often came to the market here to buy some necessary spiritual objects.
Therefore, they naturally knew this place very well, and they knew the dilapidated shop that specialized in selling some defective products very well.
After confirming that Sun Mingsheng did leave from here, a sense of superiority naturally emerged.
However, this proud Liang family monk did not notice that at the moment when the two passed by, the pupils in the depths of Sun Mingsheng's eyes, who seemed to have no reaction, suddenly swelled and quickly recovered as before, without any expression at all.
"I have been so careful, but I still haven't escaped the spies secretly arranged by the Liang family. I wonder how the famous Liang Chaoyuan plans to take off this great head."
A flash of light flashed in Sun Mingsheng's mind, but a new idea emerged.
Sun Mingsheng's figure kept searching back and forth in the shops in the market, as if he was constantly looking for suitable spiritual objects, but he didn't buy any spiritual objects as if he was short of money.
It was not until an hour later that he left the last shop with reluctance on his face. He turned back and left the market, heading towards the Bai family's sacred mountain.
