Chapter 1298
"So it's like that ~" Xiao Hua pinched his chin, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "Then I have to go in and see what's the difference between middle-grade and high-grade!"
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, there's no need to trouble yourself. I just happen to have both high-grade and middle-grade Fireball Talismans in my storage pouch!"
Seeing this, the old man beamed with joy. He slapped his storage pouch, and two extremely exquisite Fireball Talismans appeared in front of Xiao Hua.
Then, he looked at Xiao Hua from top to bottom, and said in a low voice: "I know that Fellow Daoist Xiao went down the mountain with Senior Brother. It's alright, as long as you bring your Senior Brother here, I will definitely give Fellow Daoist some benefits!"
"Huh?" Xiao Hua was slightly stunned, but his eyes immediately turned, and he said in a low voice: "Fellow Daoist Bai … be careful with your words …"
As he spoke, his eyes carefully examined the two yellow talismans. Sure enough, the high-grade Fireball Talisman was exceptionally exquisite. Not only were the runes fine, but there was also a trace of spiritual energy contained between the fine lines. Even the talisman paper was clearly different. When he began to distinguish the difference between the runes on the two yellow talismans, he suddenly came to a realization. "Oh, I forgot!
Messaging Talismans … don't use talisman ink or talisman brushes. The runes of these Fireball Talismans … are drawn with talisman ink and talisman brushes. I … I don't even have these, how can I make talismans? "
Looking up again, sure enough, on the other side of the stall, there were some talisman ink and talisman brushes neatly arranged. After thinking for a while, Xiao Hua didn't continue to ask. He carefully looked at the difference between the two yellow talismans, and returned them to the old man, and said with a smile: "I didn't take too many spirit stones for now, so I'll just take these Fireball Talismans!"
The old man didn't think it was strange. He took the yellow talismans from Xiao Hua, put them away, and said with a smile: "It's alright, I'll wait for Fellow Daoist Xiao to come again!"
However, when Xiao Hua handed over the middle-grade spirit stone, the old man's expression was somewhat splendid: "Cough cough, that … Fellow Daoist Xiao, I know that Fellow Daoist doesn't want to reveal your identity while wearing a storage pouch, but … but can't Fellow Daoist give I a low-grade spirit stone?
For this middle-grade spirit stone, I have to give Fellow Daoist ninety-nine low-grade spirit stones. How will Fellow Daoist take it? "
"Aiyo, that's right!" Xiao Hua's face was embarrassed. This was something he had never thought of.
Xiao Hua's eyes swiveled, and he laughed: "I's storage pouch … Sigh, I didn't say. Is there anything Fellow Daoist doesn't use here?
I will use these remaining spirit stones to exchange with Fellow Daoist! "
"Ah?"
The old man's face was slightly startled, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Fellow Daoist Xiao, you make it sound so easy. A storage bag is worth at least dozens of high-grade spirit stones. Fellow Daoist, this middle-grade spirit stone … how can it be exchanged?
It seems that Fellow Daoist Xiao's sect … storage pouches don't count for much! "
Xiao Hua's face was slightly red as he sighed. He took out the Fireball Talisman from his bosom and said, "Then there's no other way!
Wait … I … tomorrow, oh, I can't. I'll talk about it next time! "
When the old man heard this, his eyes turned slightly. He looked at the sky and said with a smile, "I see. It must be quite difficult for Fellow Daoist Xiao to come out. Since we are fated to meet, then I have to think of a way for Fellow Daoist I!"
"Eh?
What method does Fellow Daoist Bai have? "Xiao Hua was somewhat excited in his heart.
Sure enough, he heard the old man say, "I obtained a storage bag in my early years. Moreover … it's already worn out. If Fellow Daoist doesn't mind, then you can take it first. I will only charge you ninety low-grade spirit stones!"
"Ninety?"
Xiao Hua shook his head. "I only want to use it this time, and I actually have to spend ninety low-grade spirit stones. This business is really inappropriate. I won't exchange, I won't exchange!"
"Don't, Fellow Daoist Xiao. You also know that you don't lack any spirit stones, and you also don't care about some storage bag. But … this storage bag is still a storage bag. That small storage bag can also be used. If you sell it in a specialized shop, it really can be sold for a lot of middle-grade spirit stones. I only want to make friends with Fellow Daoist, that's why I bid like this …"
"Ah, forget it. Then sixty!" Xiao Hua spread his hands to express his helplessness.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, I usually don't haggle. Eighty!"
"Seventy. If it's not possible, I will leave!" Xiao Hua reduced the price a little.
"Ah, forget it. Then Fellow Daoist should see you later!" The old man shook his head with a helpless expression.
Xiao Hua also didn't know whether what he said was true or false. After thinking for a while, he put on an unhappy expression and waved his hand, saying, "Forget it, forget it. Just treat it as I … forming a good karma. Eighty it is!"
The old man didn't have any expression. He seemed to think that this was a matter of course. He slightly smiled and turned around to enter the shop. Not long after, he came out with an ordinary storage bag in his hand and handed it to Xiao Hua, saying, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, there are nineteen low-grade spirit stones inside. Please take a look!"
Xiao Hua calmly took it. He didn't even look at it and said with a smile, "It's only because there's no way to store spirit stones that I used this. Why go through so much trouble?"
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, as the saying goes, don't show off your wealth. If Fellow Daoist carries this kind of storage bag, I'm afraid you won't be remembered!"
"Aiyo, Fellow Daoist Bai is right, this poor Daoist has learned!" Xiao Hua took the opportunity to place the storage pouch on his waist and patted it: "From now on, this poor Daoist will use this!"
"Hehe, I will wait here for Fellow Daoist Xiao's next visit!" The old man said with a smile.
"En, Fellow Daoist Bai, don't worry. The next time I come, I will definitely give Fellow Daoist a surprise!" Xiao Hua waved his hand and slowly walked out.
After turning a corner, Xiao Hua hurriedly opened the storage bag and thought to himself, "This black-hearted shop owner won't give less than one spirit stone, right?"
When he opened the storage bag to take a look, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded!
There were exactly nineteen spirit stones in the storage bag, but … but the space inside the storage bag … was really too small!!!
Shang Huaming only had two storage bags. Xiao Hua hadn't used Xiao Yuehong's storage bag, so he didn't know how big the space was. Xiao Hua knew that Xiao Xianrui's storage bag should be three feet in size!
And the one in Xiao Hua's hand … let alone three feet, at best … it was only three feet in size. It was naturally possible to put some spirit herbs, pills, or spirit stones, but other things … don't talk about it!
"Ai, you get what you pay for!
Eighty low-grade spirit stones, which is the price of a fireball talisman, how can it buy a proper storage bag? "
Xiao Hua smiled bitterly, but then he snorted coldly, "But this young master doesn't lack storage space. This kind of thing is just for decoration!"
As he spoke, he patted the storage bag and a low-grade spirit stone appeared in his hand. He muttered, "I don't know what the price of an inn is. Can one low-grade spirit stone stay for a night?"
Xiao Hua was still too optimistic. How could one low-grade spirit stone stay in an inn for a night?
He had asked all the small inns in the southwest direction, and it seemed that the cheapest one was ten low-grade spirit stones for a night!
Looking at the sky, Xiao Hua also lost the intention to continue looking. He took ten low-grade spirit stones and handed them to the inn, and was led to a room by a waiter without any cultivation. The waiter pushed the door open and invited Xiao Hua in. He smiled and said, "Immortal elder, this room has already been set up with a formation. You only need to stick the yellow talisman on the counter on the door, and this formation will be activated. Other than Immortal elder, no one else can enter or leave.
Of course, this yellow talisman will automatically lose its effect after 79 hours. Immortal elder, please come to the counter! "
"En, I know!"
Xiao Hua waved his hand. When the waiter was about to withdraw, Xiao Hua pretended to be indifferent and asked, "Oh right, waiter, are there any spiritual herbs and medicinal pills nearby that can be bought?"
"Immortal elder knows that most of the things here are accommodation. The spiritual herbs and medicinal pills are all in the east of Jingbo City. However, for Immortal elder's convenience, some large shops also opened a few small shops here. Our inn is not far to the west, and it just so happens that there is a banyan grass shop. If you need ordinary medicinal pills, you can go there and take a look!"
"Hehe, thanks ~" Xiao Hua smiled and said.
The waiter was somewhat flattered and hurriedly said, "Immortal elder is too polite."
Soon after, he looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated. But a moment later, he bit his lips and said in a low voice, "Immortal elder …"
"En?
What's wrong? "Xiao Hua had already seen the waiter's expression and unconsciously became vigilant.
"That … Immortal elder, do you have any healing pills …?"
These words were said in a very low voice, but immediately after, the waiter didn't wait for Xiao Hua to speak and hurriedly said, "No, it's okay, I … I was just casually asking!"
Looking at that expression … it seemed like he had already been rejected ten thousand times!
Hearing this, Xiao Hua slightly wrinkled his brows. He knew that ever since he woke up, he hadn't seen any secular people. However, he also knew from Zhang Qingxiao's mouth that there were still a lot of secular people in this Xiaoyu Continent. And in the eyes of cultivators … these people were simply like ants and would never be put in their eyes.
Medicinal pills for healing injuries … were also precious in the hearts of cultivators. How could he … give it to this waiter just because he asked?
If the waiter had some kind of spirit stones or the like, perhaps there would still be a trace of hope!
However, Xiao Hua still asked, "What do you want to do with healing medicinal pills?
You're not a cultivator? "
Seeing Xiao Hua's inquiry, the waiter's face reddened and there was a slight sadness in his eyes. He still bit his lips and said to Xiao Hua, "Immortal elder knows, I … my mother is seriously ill. I don't know how many doctors I've found, but they all couldn't cure her. There was a doctor who knew that I was working in this inn and gave me an idea. He said that the medicinal pills you immortals use might be effective!"
"How long has your mother been ill?" Xiao Hua said warmly, "How many people have you asked?"
"Sigh, my mother has already been ill for as long as a year!
I … I previously asked everyone I saw, but … no one paid any attention to me. In the last two months, I already … stopped asking! "
The waiter looked at Xiao Hua pitifully and said, "I … know that this medicinal pill is precious. Immortal elder … if immortal elder has extra, just treat it as giving one to me. I'll work like an ox or a horse to repay immortal elder!"
Xiao Hua pinched his chin and looked at the waiter. He didn't know whether he should believe this waiter or not. If what this waiter said was false, hehe, he was only a small cultivator at the 7nd level of Qi Condensation. If he was targeted by others, it would be troublesome!
"You already haven't asked anyone for it for a long time. Why … are you asking me for it again?" Xiao Hua asked with interest.
