Chapter 21: Water Tiger Crocodile Egg
However, the street market was indeed much livelier than the shops; as soon as he walked in, he heard shouts rising and falling.
"High-quality Dushan Blood Jade, come take a look!"
"Five Poison Powder, produced by the Five Poison Sect, quality guaranteed, sold with reputation, only five Spirit Stones per pack."
"xuan mountain longevity yellow, xuan mountain longevity yellow!"
Ye Yang walked along, shaking his head; most of the items on these stalls were fakes.
Some counterfeiting methods were so skilled that they couldn't be detected, while others were purely for fooling people.
For example, Dushan Blood Jade is a co-existing jade in the Dushan jade mine, which requires hundreds of people to be crushed to death in mining, with their essence blood dripping into the jade over many years to form a single piece, making it one of the excellent main materials for Magical Artifacts.
As for the piece the stall owner was shouting about just now, it was clearly a fake, made by using a Sharp Weapon to cut open the jade, pouring human blood into it, and then sealing it with pine glue.
Another example is the xuan mountain longevity yellow, which can only be produced on Black Mountain; after a Black Mountain Old Demon occupied this mountain many years ago, this stone almost became his exclusive treasure, rarely seen in the outside world.
Many years ago, the Flying Heaven Gate wanted to acquire a piece to carve the core of a mountain-guarding Formation, but they didn't succeed, so how could it be easily seen here?
These people, seeing Ye Yang alone and unfamiliar, kept pulling and shouting, wanting to scam him.
But Ye Yang ignored all of them, walking directly to an open space, spreading out his backpack, revealing the dark blue, round egg inside.
Initially, no one was interested, but after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, several knowledgeable people walked up to him.
"Little brother, what kind of egg is this?"
"Water Tiger Crocodile Egg, one hundred and fifty Spirit Stones per egg."
Before coming, Ye Yang had secretly inquired about the price of Water Tiger Crocodile Eggs; one hundred and fifty was slightly below market price, but not a cheap sell.
The few people pondered for a moment, wanting to make an offer, but felt the price was too high and kept urging Ye Yang to lower it.
Ye Yang didn't respond, and the few shook their heads and walked away.
A few hours later, Ye Yang finally sold one for one hundred and fifty Spirit Stones.
Immediately after, there was no interest again, until evening, when a person rushed to him, took out a pack of Spirit Stones, and handed them to Ye Yang: "I only have one hundred and forty-five Spirit Stones here, is that okay? You can count them."
Ye Yang looked up and realized that this person was one of those who had initially asked for the price—a Young Master.
With chubby cheeks, round eyes, a plump build, and a protruding belly, he looked rather cute.
After counting the Spirit Stones, Ye Yang found that some were old, some were brand new, and some had their edges worn smooth, indicating they were borrowed from different people.
It seemed that there was no more profit to be squeezed from the other party.
Ye Yang nodded and said, "Okay."
So, he handed the Water Tiger Crocodile Egg to this little fatty.
Before leaving, the little fatty waved at Ye Yang and said, "Thank you, just call me Brother Shan. If you encounter anything in the future, you can come to Jiaotan Forest to find me. I'll bring my brothers to help you settle it."
Jiaotan Forest?
Ye Yang hadn't heard this name, but seeing the Young Master, who hadn't grown up yet, acting like a big brother, he didn't take it seriously.
After all, everyone has wanted to be a big brother in their youth.
Two Giant Crocodile eggs, without a middleman earning the difference, sold directly for three hundred Spirit Stones.
As for the blue moon spirit lotus, it was extremely rare and a Spirit Medicine for external injuries and sprains, so Ye Yang didn't plan to sell it. Instead, he intended to transplant it into the Spirit Well in his courtyard. If the transplant succeeded, it would be a steady stream of income in the future.
...
Standing up, Ye Yang realized that it was already late. He had browsed the stalls for a while and found a stall selling second-hand Legacy Jade Slips.
How precious are Legacy Jade Slips? The ones here were all broken goods, and Ye Yang only regarded them as fakes.
The person selling the Legacy Jade Slips was an old man wearing a gray and white sheepskin coat, with a mole the size of a pinky finger pad on his left cheek, and a black hair growing from it.
As soon as he saw Ye Yang walk up to him, he quickly stood up and said enthusiastically: "Young Master, what do you need?"
"I have all kinds of Cultivation methods here. This is the Nine Heavens Sect's Thousand-Mile Eye Divine Ability, which can illuminate and photograph, allowing you to see a thousand miles clearly, with nothing hidden."
Ye Yang didn't quite believe what the other party said. The Nine Heavens Sect was a colossal Sect; if the Thousand-Mile Eye Divine Ability appeared here, then the entire Wangyue Mountain would have to be moved.
This trick could only fool those who were new to the world and fantasized about good fortune falling from the sky.
"Come, look at this one. This is a Legacy Pearl, even more precious than a Legacy Jade Slip. This Gangsha Dragon Tiger Qi is not simple; if you Cultivate it successfully, you can condense a Dragon Tiger protective shield, strong enough to withstand a blow from a Martial Person in the early Realm!"
At this point, the old man spoke with spittle flying, raising five fingers: "It only costs five hundred Spirit Stones."
Ye Yang motioned for the old man not to speak, and instead carefully examined the pile of Jade Slip Legacy Pearls, wondering if there were any overlooked treasures.
"Buddha's Hundred Difficulties Cultivation Method? Fake. The real one seems to be in the Western Regions Demonic Buddhist Temple, a classic guarded for hundreds of generations."
"Qilin Treasure Body? Fake. The Qilin exotic species has long disappeared into the river of history, so how can it be Cultivated?"
Seeing that Ye Yang was not easily fooled, a hint of awkwardness flashed across the old man's face.
He quietly pulled Ye Yang aside: "Young Master, I see you are knowledgeable and not an ordinary person. I really have a treasure here, would you like to see it?"
Ye Yang was skeptical, but the old man chuckled and pulled out a fist-sized pearl, shimmering with a dark blue spiritual glow.
"To be honest, this item has a significant origin. I saw that your Qi and blood were strong and your will was firm, which is why I'm recommending this to you. I would never show it to an ordinary person."
Taking the pearl and examining it carefully, Ye Yang's heart trembled.
"Wait, what is this? Hundred Demon Fist's Elephant Demon Play, there seems to be a slight possibility."
