The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1452 - 1451: Venue Swap

"Come and take a look, thousand-year pine, the first choice of alchemists, buy pine and get the formula for refining fifth-grade Snow Skin Elixir Pills, don't miss this once-in-a-millennium opportunity."As soon as Tang Rao stepped into the town, he heard someone shouting by his ear.

Thousand-year pine, refining fifth-grade Snow Skin Elixir Pills? Was Tang Rao too rich and reckless, or did he rush out so quickly that he forgot to bring his brain?

Tang Rao stroked his scarce mustache and only glanced at the pine briefly, immediately deducing that it wasn't all that valuable.

Though thousand years old, there are just too many pines; a thousand-year pine has aged quite a bit, but it's not to the extent that it's the only place to buy it.

"Taoist, you've been reading astrology for people for years, it surely depletes your strength, right? I have a pair of rhinoceros horns here, specially to help you with astrology. If you're sincerely interested, I can offer a slight discount. How about it?"

Buy horns?

Tang Rao never needed such things as horns for astrology predictions.

But to appear as a Taoist, Tang Rao slightly glanced at them, then shook his head.

"Brother, what do you mean by this? Do you disdain my horns?"

People selling things never like others looking down on their goods. Coincidentally, the man Tang Rao encountered had quite a temper, and just a shake of the head made him angry.

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that. I just think these Spiritual Rhinoceros Horns are too precious for a mere stinking Taoist like me to afford."

Tang Rao happened to remember this item.

Spiritual Rhinoceros Horns, judging by the texture and size, he guessed the rhino must be at least ten thousand years old, and any part of a ten-thousand-year Divine Beast is valuable, including the horns.

Looks like he's met someone who knows their stuff; the man selling horns finally had a better expression.

"You must be someone who knows their stuff too, brother. To be honest, these Spiritual Rhinoceros Horns are my family's ancestral treasures, priced several times higher than other horns, but trust me, buying them is absolutely worth it."

The man kept recommending them to Tang Rao. Despite just stepping in, Tang Rao got entangled, and for a moment, he thought if he dressed like a young girl like Wu Suowei, the horn seller wouldn't have targeted him.

"I have horns too, though not as good as yours, but mine can still serve the purpose. Thanks for broadening my horizons."

Ultimately, Tang Rao had no intention of purchasing the horns.

Ancestral or not, while horns are great, for Tang Rao, they don't serve his needs; even spending a fortune would be pointless.

"Ah, seems like you're not a sincere buyer. Check out other things, I have to find the next buyer."

Eager to find the next buyer, Tang Rao figured this wasn't the attitude towards an ancestral treasure.

"Come and see, authentic casting materials, whatever you can think of, you can find it here, all sold at fair prices."

Throughout the town today, the sale was mostly alchemy materials, casting materials. Not many were directly selling magical finished elixir pills.

"Master, didn't you say today's outing was full of good stuff? Why am I not seeing that?"

What Tang Rao saw wasn't too useful. He is a cultivator, an alchemist, even knowledgeable about Eight Diagrams Astrology and Life Prediction. He should be able to find the things he needs, but unfortunately, none of what's sold matches his desires, wasting time as he continues to roam.

"Because you've only walked halfway through. There are many things inside; outside are the vendors shouting. Once you reach the inner area, you'll see many barter stalls, where you can trade for what you want with things of equal value, as long as the other party agrees, regardless of whether Purple Crystal is involved."

Is there such a thing?

Tang Rao had gathered quite a lot from all directions, most stored in the space ring unused.

If he encountered good goods today, trading them wasn't out of the question.

"Let's head there directly, since there's nothing I like here. Rather than buying, I can trade unwanted items for what I want, without spending money. This deal works for me."

As long as it doesn't cost money, Tang Rao is happy.

According to Wu Suowei, Tang Rao couldn't afford the items being sold inside. Thinking of trading items, he had thoroughly considered it.

Wu Suowei finally agreed with Tang Rao on this notion.

Compared to the bustling shouts outside, the barter field was even livelier; serious buyers mostly gathered here as they displayed items they deemed good, allowing others to come and browse. If someone fancied an item, sellers would mention what they want in exchange; if you have it, the deal is closed. If you can't provide it, you can offer a selection you think worth trading, let sellers choose. If the seller picks something, it's successful, but if that doesn't satisfy the seller, the trade fails.

But Tang Rao noticed that the success rate of trades was quite high when browsing a while.

"Master, do you need anything? I'll help you trade for some."

Tang Rao enthusiastically circled down, discovering too many items he wanted to exchange. Yet the conditions the other party proposed weren't very lenient, making a fair exchange challenging.

After all, those trading items don't like suffering losses.

"You can trade for some casting materials. If you truly want me to craft a unique ship for you, casting materials are crucial. I don't actually have much, slowly gathering them is unrealistic."

What Wu Suowei needed wasn't much but materials to craft a ship for Tang Rao.

Unfortunately, Tang Rao is skilled in alchemy but ignorant of casting, thus relying on Wu Suowei's advice for exchanges, which he believes is the most practical method.

"Master, do you want this Demon Beast Crystal Core?"

"Master, this Mystic Iron should be quite solid; do you really think building a ship doesn't require Mystic Iron?"

Tang Rao followed behind a young yet ugly girl, using transmission to inquire Wu Suowei. After repeated inquiries, Wu Suowei started getting annoyed.

"If you say one more word, I'll make you the center of attention here!"
