My Online Girlfriend Is The Nine Heaven Divine Phoenix

Chapter 203: The Road to Riches (2)

At this moment, Lu Ping arrived at the area selling spirit stones. The entrance of these shops was mostly marked with high-priced spirit stones.

Lu Ping randomly found a shop and went in.

The owner was a thin old man.

Seeing Lu Ping enter, the old man’s eyes lit up with a smile.

“Young man, do you want to buy spirit stones or sell spirit stones? What kind of spirit stones do you need? Do you want to refine a sword or a magic treasure?” The old man asked with a smile.

Lu Ping first took out the sunstone and handed it to the old man. He asked casually, “How much is this stone?”

The old man weighed the sunstone in his hand, he said, “With this weight, there shouldn’t be too many impurities in the sunstone. The fire elemental energy in the stone is also very abundant. It can be considered high-grade. If it’s this size, it’s 300,000 star dollars!”

Lu Ping stretched out his hand and the old man returned the stone to Lu Ping.

Lu Ping was prepared to leave.

He was going to compare the price across a few shops. Seeing that Lu Ping was about to leave, the old man suddenly shouted, “I’ll add another 50,000! This price isn’t low!”

Lu Ping smiled and said, “Alright! I’ll see what I can do!” After saying that, he continued to leave.

“I’ll add another 10,000! and another 15,000 as well!”

No matter what the old man said, Lu Ping still wanted to take a look around.

As expected, the price fluctuated quite a bit throughout his journey.

The highest shop offered 390,000 star dollars!

“Your sunstone will usually be around 370,000 star dollars. There’s not much profit margin for it, but my shop just happened to have a custom-made fire-type magic treasure. With this sunstone of excellent quality, it can be considered to be of some help. That’s why I quoted an additional 20,000 star dollars. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to get such a price even if you went to the entire street and asked!”

Looking at the woman in front of him talking with assurance, Lu Ping chose to sell this stone.

That’s right, after going through seven or eight shops, this one had the highest price.

It was obviously higher than the other shops.

Lu Ping sold the stone to the woman and had some money on hand.

Looking at the stone in the shop, he said, “I want to see wood-type, water-type, and metal-type spirit stones.”

The woman nodded and showed them to him one by one.

There were all kinds of spirit stones, but the prices were generally quite high.

Lu Ping couldn’t buy a few spirit stones with 400,000 star dollars. Even a single one of them came close to his budget.

“Aren’t there any cheaper stones here?” Lu Ping asked curiously.

They were indeed too expensive. Moreover, according to Lu Ping’s eyes, most of these stones were used to refine magical treasures.

The woman shook her head and said, “We rarely collect cheap spirit stones here.”

“Why is that?” Lu Ping was a little puzzled.

The woman smiled and said, “We cultivators often lack resources on the path of cultivation. There are very few Foundation Establishment stage cultivators who can afford to spend a large number of star dollars to craft magic treasures. It is not worth it. After reaching the Golden Core stage, we will think about getting more stones suited to that stage. Therefore, most of the spirit stones we sell are of a higher grade.”

The woman smiled and explained to Lu Ping.

As she said that, she looked at Lu Ping and smiled, “Aren’t you also planning to get a magic weapon when you reach the Golden Core stage? You want to refine it yourself? If you fail, you will suffer a heavy loss. If you refine it here, if you fail, we will be able to refund you 10% of the cost of the materials. How about it? Think about it!”

“Let me take a look at the spirit stones first!” Lu Ping rejected the woman.

At this moment, Lu Ping finally understood what was going on.

However, he rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.

He suddenly thought of something, and a bright light flashed in Lu Ping’s eyes. He continued to look at the various kinds of spirit stones. This time, he looked more carefully, and his hand occasionally flashed with a faint light.

After he finished looking, Lu Ping didn’t buy anything and left the spirit stone shop.

At this time, Huang Xiaoqi and Huang Shiliu happened to come over.

Seeing Lu Ping, Huang Xiaoqi asked with a smile, “What, you don’t want to shop anymore?”

“I don’t want to shop anymore!”

Lu Ping nodded very seriously.

“AH? Why?” Huang Xiaoqi asked curiously.

Lu Ping looked at Huang Xiaoqi and said proudly, “Old Buddy Huang, I want to go home and conduct an experiment first. If it’s possible, it won’t be long before I can pay off my debt!”

Huang Xiaoqi was a little confused.

What was this guy doing? Did he think of some way to make a fortune?

However, since Lu Ping wasn’t willing to tell her, she had no choice but to shrug.

She could only follow Lu Ping home.

Lu Ping immediately opened Universe Treasure. It was hard to say if he wanted to buy things on Universe Treasure. Very few people bought spirit stones and the like on Universe Treasure.

However, Lu Ping’s target wasn’t spirit stones, but broken flying swords and magic treasures.

Were these things valuable?

They were definitely valuable. Some high-level treasures, even if they were damaged, were of extraordinary value.

However, what Lu Ping was looking at were some low-level damaged flying swords and magic treasure.

Why? It was just as the woman had said.

Standard flying swords and magic treasure were the cheapest and lowest-level ones.

They were basically only used by those in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Once these things were damaged, the price of repairing them was another story.

After all, from a blacksmith’s point of view, repairing a seriously damaged magic treasure might be even more troublesome than refining a new one.

Because these flying swords had experienced the fusion of materials, it was also a troublesome matter to make a move.

After the materials were fused, if one wanted to forge something else, they needed to separate them.

However, it wasn’t easy to separate them. A low-level magic treasure wasn’t worth the effort.

But would anyone want these things?
