Chapter 38: Fire-eating Moth [Please read]

The crowd in the shop was much larger than that of the previous shop selling flower pickers.

They were all Qi Refiners, so Xu Changsheng couldn't push forward, so he had to stand outside the door and watch from a distance.

The store also placed the treasure in the center of the store and hung it in the middle, so even from the outside, you can see it clearly.

Four or five candles were hung in the center of the shop, with a fiery red moth in the middle, constantly flying back and forth.

It's not a moth flying into a flame.

But moths...eat fire!
Wherever it passes, fire will be swallowed up by it.

But I don’t know what kind of material the candle is made of. Whenever it goes out, it will light up again within the time of breathing, so moths always shuttle between the candles.

You can't see the store, but you can hear its voice.

"Thank you all for coming."

"I'm afraid that all knowledgeable Taoist friends also know what this is. This is the famous wonder in the world - the fire-swallowing moth, which is also the origin of the allusion of moths flying into the fire."

"It will eat fire all year round, and over time, it will form a Gengjin essence in its body, which is priceless."

"I'm afraid you all know the value of this Gengjin essence."

"If a sword cultivator, one of the three most difficult ghosts, absorbs this bit of Gengjin essence when condensing his natal flying sword, tsk tsk tsk, the offensive power of his flying sword is simply unimaginable."

"Hey, shopkeeper, who are you bluffing? Even if this fire-eating moth really eats fire every day, it still has the essence of fire in its body. How can it produce the essence of Gengjin?"

The monks who were watching couldn't help but ask.

The shopkeeper wasn't angry either, but he just felt contempt in his heart, and still smiled and explained: "If it's just the essence of swallowing fire, how can it be considered a rare thing?"

"Okay, what you said is indeed correct. It's just that among these hundred fire-eating moths, it's hard for even one to produce Gengjin essence. Don't brag about it, shopkeeper."

A mid-air voice sounded.

"Hey, let's just say, if it is such a good thing, how could it be spread to our grass market?"

The number of spectators suddenly turned out to be [-] to [-]%.

The true story was revealed, and the store owner also had a dark face. He saw who had said that just now.

"Fellow Taoist, if you don't want to do business, please step aside. Don't stop me from doing business here."

Hu Beizhi quietly approached Xu Changsheng's ear and whispered, "It's the person who just bought the Flower Picker."

Xu Changsheng nodded slightly.

A strange light flashed in his eyes, the essence of Gengjin. How great would it be if his flying sword could get such a little essence of Gengjin?
Unfortunately, after walking around for a long time, I didn't even see the star pattern iron.

The stocky man wearing the black skull mask chuckled and said, "Who said I won't do business anymore? I bought this fire-eating moth."

The shopkeeper looked at him and said, "One hundred white water coins, do you want to buy it?"

The stocky man popped out a green coin with his fingers. The shopkeeper quickly caught it with both hands and looked at it carefully. The scowl on his face suddenly turned into a smile. "Very good, very good. This fire-swallowing moth now belongs to the guest."

As he spoke, he moved his hand and took down the fiery red moth from the air.

The stocky man took out a small cage again and collected the spiritual object.

Then he turned around and left. As for the flower picker he originally bought, she had disappeared.

"Let's go."

After one person and one fox came out, they visited a few shops again, and even asked if they wanted to buy the Ichigogo eyeballs, but the other party said they didn't even know what the Ichigogo was.

"She must have come to sell it in this ghost market, but we never found the store."

While Hu Beizhi was talking, Xu Changsheng opened the square box, inside which lay two black and white eyes.

But suddenly, a voice sounded in their ears at the same time.

"Are these five eyes of these two fellow Taoists for sale?"

Xu Changsheng immediately closed it and stuffed it into his arms. He looked around and saw no one speaking.

But then the voice said again: "There is only trading in this ghost market. Don't worry. If you really want to sell, you can go straight and find a pawn shop. I will be inside."

"going or not?"

Hu Beizhi looked at Xu Changsheng and asked.The latter thought for a moment and said, "Go!"

The two of them stopped wandering around and walked a few dozen meters forward. As expected, they saw a small shop with a pawn shop sign.

After entering, perhaps because the store was too small, there was not a single customer inside. There was only an old Taoist wearing a blue robe sitting cross-legged on a futon.

Seeing the visitor, the old Taoist finally stood up and said with a smile: "The shop received one and a half eyeballs this morning, but unfortunately there are only two and they are not complete. If nothing happens, the remaining two should be in the two of you." .”

Xu Changsheng had to be cautious for an old Taoist priest who could transmit messages from a distance, and at this moment he slowly retreated to the door.

The former chuckled and said, "Don't panic, you two. The old Taoist calls himself... a Huaiyin person."

"what?"

Xu Changsheng almost blurted out, "Are you this locust tree demon?"

But in the end, he quickly calmed down, bowed and saluted, "I've met Senior Huaiyin."

In this way, it was normal for him to be noticed as soon as he took out the one-and-a-half eyeballs. Not to mention the sound transmission through the air, even the entire Huaiyin Town was probably under the gaze of the other party.

"You can rest assured now. Since this place is the Taoist's dojo, the Taoist will follow the rules."

Xu Changsheng nodded cooperatively and could only believe it. If he didn't believe it, there was nothing he could do.

Take out the square box containing the eyeballs and place it on the counter.

The person from Huaiyin didn't take over, and just asked: "Do you two want to exchange money or goods?"

Xu Changsheng and Hu Beizhi looked at each other. They had discussed this long before they came.

Xu Changsheng said: "The value is half and half between us. My share... I want to exchange for some star-patterned iron. I wonder if senior is willing?"

"Oh? Star pattern iron?"

Old Taoist Huaiyin looked Xu Changsheng up and down.

"This star-patterned iron is a resource controlled by the Immortal Sect in all the capitals of Dayu. Even if there is any left outside, it is very rare, and its value will be extremely high."

When Xu Changsheng heard this, his heart suddenly went cold.

The old Taoist Huaiyin said again: "But the old Taoist happens to still have some. If you want to exchange... The old Taoist will not hide it from you. If you take a one-eye, five-eye bead to Yibao Tower to exchange it, you can probably exchange it for one." Half a pound of star-patterned iron."

"But Pindao can only give you one pound of star pattern iron. Do you still want to exchange it?"

The old Taoist priest looked at Xu Changsheng with a half-smile.

The latter didn't even think about it and insisted directly, "Change!"

Not to mention whether he can go to Jinhua Mansion, if he doesn't change his words, he may not be able to get out of this gate today.

The old Taoist priest smiled and nodded, then looked at Hu Beizhi again.

The latter said: "This junior wants to replace it with an alchemy cauldron."

"The lowest-level magic weapon-level alchemy is likely to cost more than 120 white water coins, and a five-eye eyeball can be converted into 100 white water coins at most, which is the price of a pound of star-patterned iron."

"The price is high."

Hu Beizhi added: "This junior is willing to top up another 30 pieces of white water money."

"But, it's just that Pindao doesn't have an alchemy cauldron for the time being. You can come back to pick up the item in half a month when the ghost market opens next time. But this eyeball, Pindao will take away today. Are you willing?"

Hu Beizhi nodded, unable to say anything he didn't want to say.

The old Taoist priest nodded, put away the square box, and took out a small piece of iron from somewhere and placed it on the counter.

As soon as Xu Changsheng took it, he could feel the joy of the sword embryo in his body.

Keep it.

The old Taoist priest took out another locust wood sign and handed it to Hu Beizhi, "Next time I bring this thing to get it. Within this half month... north of Jinhua, if someone wants to attack you, you can show this thing. If the other party still takes action, Next time you can tell Pindao in person."

"Thank you senior."

Hu Beizhi took the wooden sign with both hands, and the two of them were about to say goodbye and leave.

The old Taoist priest suddenly said: "If you have something good next time, you can still come to the door, but if the value is less than a green clam coin... there is no need."
