104: Earn blood!
Martial cultivators fight for every second, making the most of their youth, seeking only to be invincible in the world.
The so-called Time Street was actually a place where Academy Disciples conducted private transactions.
To put it bluntly, it was a place for setting up stalls.
Although it was now close to midnight.
It was precisely the time when Time Street was most lively.
During the day, everyone was busy with Cultivation and doing missions to earn resources; only at night did they have time to come out and browse.
Therefore, Time Street was also known as the night market.
Mo Fan planned to dispose of his gains from this outing at Time Street... Twenty minutes later, Mo Fan arrived at the so-called Time Street carrying his sack.
At a glance, the retro streets were packed with people, bustling with extraordinary excitement.
On both sides of the street were stalls, one after another.
The shouting of the stall owners.
The haggling of the customers.
The sounds of arguments, faces flushed red and even shouting insults over half a Spirit Stone.
Watching these scenes, Mo Fan felt like he had dreamed back to the days of going to the market as a child.
Finally, he chose an empty spot, spread out a rug, and displayed various Spirit Medicines and Yao Beast Materials.
Clearing his throat, Mo Fan began to shout loudly:
"High-grade Spirit Medicines, high-grade Yao Beast Materials on sale! Don't miss out as you pass by!"
His voice was loud and clear, quickly attracting many gazes.
Compared to other stalls, Mo Fan's stall was indeed quite "abundant."
So after a while, his stall was surrounded by people.
"This beautiful Senior Sister, your beauty would make the moon in the sky feel ashamed."
"This Shaming Moon Flower perfectly matches your temperament. Would you like one? I'll give you a discount—how about two Spirit Stones?"
Mo Fan spoke to a pretty Senior Sister with a fair face and elegant temperament who seemed to want to buy something but was hesitant.
However, the beautiful Senior Sister gave Mo Fan a huge eye-roll:
"You fellow, how is this a Shaming Moon Flower? It's clearly Golden Leaf Grass, not even worth half a Spirit Stone..."
"Haha, Senior Sister really knows her stuff! Then I'll sell it to you for half a Spirit Stone!"
"Go away, I'm not stupid!" The beautiful Senior Sister glared at Mo Fan and began to look seriously at the other items on the stall.
Soon, her eyes lit up, and she said in disbelief, "Is this midnight star?"
"Senior Sister has a good eye. I'll bundle these few midnight stars and sell them to you for 75 Spirit Stones!"
The beautiful Senior Sister was tempted but still hesitated. "75 Spirit Stones is a bit expensive, isn't it? 70 is more like—"
Before the beautiful Senior Sister could finish, Mo Fan quickly said, "How about this? 75 Spirit Stones, no bargaining, and you can take these few stalks of Golden Leaf Grass too. Consider them a gift!"
"Ah, this—" The Senior Sister hesitated.
"Don't hesitate anymore. At most, I'll let you take one Blood Coagulation Fruit, otherwise, I'll have to sell it to someone else!"
Hearing this, the Senior Sister looked at the crowd eyeing the stall like tigers and stopped hesitating, quickly saying, "Deal!"
Mo Fan grinned, packed the items, and handed them to the beautiful Senior Sister.
The beautiful Senior Sister readily handed over 75 Spirit Stones and turned to leave with a happy face.
Seeing this, Mo Fan grinned and continued to shout:
"High-grade Spirit Medicines, high-grade Yao Beast Materials on sale! Don't miss out as you pass by!"
Soon, someone else asked:
"Little brother, how much is this black blood grass?"
"55 Spirit Stones, non-negotiable!"
“Hiss, that’s too expensive, isn’t it?”
"Then I'll give you two Red Snake Fruits for free!"
"Ah, this—"
"And one Deep Blue Sunflower!"
"Hiss, deal!"
"Alright!"
...Under Mo Fan's bundle-selling technique, in less than half an hour, the items on his stall were sold out.
He had sold them at slightly inflated prices.
But with the added gifts, the total price worked out to be about the same.
However, if sold separately, Mo Fan estimated he would have had to spend another two hours at the stall to finish selling everything.
There was no other way; the demand for some of the Rank One Spirit Medicines was low and they weren't easy to sell.
After packing up his things, Mo Fan cast an Appraisal Technique on the Brocade Pouch.
[Discovered 333 Low-Grade Spirit Stones. Can be absorbed and converted into attribute points. Absorb?]
"333 stones? Not bad, about what I expected." Mo Fan smiled.
But this time, he was in no hurry to absorb the Spirit Stones and instead started browsing along Time Street.
Last month, he had come to Time Street a few times.
But he hadn't managed to find anything of value.
Now that he was finally here again, he naturally had to take a look.
Listening to the shouting in his ears, Mo Fan observed carefully as he walked.
His Mental Energy was powerful, his perception was keen, and he was familiar with various spiritual plants.
For ordinary things, even without using the Appraisal Technique, he could tell them apart.
Only when he encountered something ambiguous or uncertain would he cast an Appraisal Technique.
Unfortunately, after browsing all the way to the corner and then back again, Mo Fan didn't find any bargains.
Finally, Mo Fan shook his head, prepared to leave.
"It's getting late, time to go back and sleep!"
Just then, a thin and small man walked toward him.
He lifted his outer garment, pointed to the inside with his finger, and gave Mo Fan a look.
Mo Fan's expression turned strange.
Had he run into... someone selling illegal discs?
Seeing Mo Fan standing still, the thin man had no choice but to walk over himself.
"Domestic or Japanese/Korean?" Mo Fan asked subconsciously.
"Huh?" The man looked bewildered, a bit dazed.
"Cough, cough—" Mo Fan coughed awkwardly and quickly waved his hand. "Nothing, nothing."
The thin man scratched his head, and after a while, he snapped out of it and said quickly:
"This Junior Brother, I saw you walking back and forth just now. Did you not find anything satisfactory?"
Mo Fan looked at him seriously and slowly nodded.
The man looked around and said quickly:
"I have a Rank Four Spirit Medicine of excellent quality and sufficient age here. Do you want it?"
Mo Fan frowned.
If you're selling Spirit Medicine, just sell it. Why be so sneaky?
But he still said, "What Spirit Medicine? Why don't you let me see it first?"
The man opened his clothes, revealing a long, thin, emerald-green vine with brown spots at the end.
There were seven awkward-looking knots on the vine, which at first glance looked like seven stars.
Seeing this, Mo Fan was stunned.
seven star vine?
The seven star vine, one of the Spirit Medicines Li Xinghe wanted?
Whatever I lack just appears?
Could it be such a coincidence?
Although buying it normally would require many Spirit Stones.
With Li Xinghe's personality, he would definitely give a little extra for the effort, so he could make some profit.
"How about it, Junior Brother? It's good stuff, right? This thing is a seven star vine, a solid Rank Four spiritual plant!"
"Don't be fooled by its unimpressive appearance. Outside, it sells for two hundred Spirit Stones a stalk. Now I'm selling it to you for only one hundred—no, only eighty-eight Spirit Stones!"
"Only eighty-eight?" Mo Fan was surprised.
"Yes, yes, yes! Only eighty-eight! I'm just short on money! I'm in a hurry to sell! Otherwise, I wouldn't offer such a low price!"
As he spoke, the thin man had a weathered expression, looking quite helpless.
Seeing this, Mo Fan looked delighted and was about to cast an Appraisal Technique.
Buy it for eighty-eight, then give it to Li Xinghe for a return of two hundred Spirit Stones!
A massive profit!
However, very soon, his face darkened.
