Chapter 124: Selling iron to learn martial arts
"A broken wooden bowl is worthless."
Ah...it's really worthless. Xiao Jie looked at the wooden bowl that had been appraised, and the suffix suddenly changed from a burial object to - garbage.
"An ancient bronze sword may be worth one or two hundred coins."
Not too bad...
"The bronze helmet must be eight or nine hundred years old. Unfortunately, it is not a special item and is severely rusted. It is worth eighty to one hundred cents."
Yes, just enough for an appraisal fee.
"A worn-out clay pot can be worth twenty or thirty coins."
Generally speaking, they are all worthless goods, and some of them can't even get back the appraisal fee.
"The damaged hidden jade cup has no spiritual energy, but the material is of high quality and can be worth fifty taels of silver."
Okay, I finally got something.
It seems that the drops from these tomb robbers are just like this, most of them are garbage, and occasionally good things can be found, which feels like a lottery. Overall, it's not that high.
I threw all these things away in the store, and only got back six taels of silver in total.
Then Xiao Jie came to the auction house again.
I couldn’t help but search for knife products first.
Straight spine wind-breaking knife! What a good thing.
Fixed light knife! What a good thing.
Dragon Bird Knife! What a good thing.
It's a pity that they can't afford them all.
I searched again for sword skill books.
Qinglong sword technique! What a good thing.
Thunder Blade Technique! What a good thing.
Magic sword technique! What a good thing!
Still can't afford it.
I also searched for spells, elixirs, magic weapons, Qinggong, and internal skills. The more I looked at them, the more I became greedy and my mouth watered.
It's a pity that each one is more expensive than the other. There's really nothing I can do with the little money I have.
Don't think too much, just look at how much this thing you have on hand is worth.
Xiao Jie actually has a lot of wealth, especially for a level 10 newcomer.
However, the few pieces of good equipment on his body cannot be sold at all, whether it is a sacred tree talisman, a Shura ghost face, or two swords, they are all guys who can live and work in peace.
Only the house deed and the spirit stone talisman are of little use at the moment, so you can consider selling them for money.
I searched for the keyword [House Deed].
This thing is very rare in the auction house, there are only a few pieces.
Anyang Village house deed: 70 taels.
Dahuang Village house deed: 80 taels.
Hongde County house deed: 300 taels.
Longhua City house deed: 1,000 taels.
It can be seen that the price of the house deed has a lot to do with the location. I can sell my house deed in Ginkgo Village for seventy or eighty taels without any problem, but I still can't sell it easily before the purpose of the house deed is determined.
After searching for spirit stone talismans again, the prices of these items are relatively uniform, the most expensive is 100 taels, and the cheapest is 75 taels.
Xiao Jie didn't plan to set up a stall. The efficiency was too low and he couldn't move at all.
But listing it to the auction house is a bit of a loss, and the 10% handling fee is indeed a bit expensive.
Fortunately, he was well prepared. He hung up the house deed and the spirit stone talisman directly at the auction house.
The house deed was worth 500 taels, and the spirit stone talisman was also 500 taels, but it was still anonymous.
It is basically impossible to sell it at this price, but he left a message below - he is in Luoyang Town. If you want to buy, you can add me on WeChat and negotiate the price in person.
By doing this, you don’t have to guard the stall and hawk.
And there are no handling fees for face-to-face transactions.
After a while, WeChat rang.
"Brother, is the property deed for sale?"
"Okay, but you have to tell me first what the deed is for."
"I don't know this either."
Xiao Jie said in his heart that you are fooling the devil, you don’t know what the use is, why did you buy it. "Forget it, wait until I figure it out."
"...Well, I just heard what others said. The purpose of the property deed is to settle down. After settling in, it will be a local household registration."
"Local household registration?"
"That's right, we are all returnees now, equivalent to outsiders. We can't do many things. Some tasks can only be received with local registered permanent residence. The most important thing is that you must have local registered permanent residence to form a guild. In addition, if you want to found a country in the future, , this thing is indispensable.”
That’s what it’s for!
Xiao Jie suddenly realized that he could tell that most of what the other party said was true.
But it is very likely that some truths are hidden. For example, there must be explanations for why there is such a big gap in housing deed prices in different regions.
Besides, just for these revealed uses, this thing is worth keeping.
In comparison, the spirit stone talisman is not that important.
Since you have decided not to go down the cave in a short time, it is better to sell this thing for money, learn skills to strengthen yourself, and when you are strong enough to move freely in the underground tombs, you can naturally make more money and spend money to buy it again. That’s it.
"You are dishonest, so I won't sell the property deed. However, I have a spirit stone talisman. If you are interested, you can consider selling it to you."
"Okay, sixty taels."
"No, one hundred taels."
"The market price is not what it is."
"There is someone in the market who has placed a price of one hundred taels."
"That was the highest price, and no one bought it. The lowest price was only 750,000, but it still couldn't be sold. If it were to be sold, the seller would only get less than 70 taels."
"But if the buyer wants to buy, it will be more than 80 taels. As far as I know, the transaction tax is paid in both directions. Add 75 taels and 10%, which is 82.5 taels. Counting my 80 taels for face-to-face transactions, it is more expensive than the auction house." The lowest prices are low.”
"...How about 75 taels."
"Let's see, everyone takes a step back, 79 taels, one price." "Damn, you can do this business."
“Forget it if you don’t buy it.”
"...Okay, just 79 taels."
After some bickering, the business was finally settled.
Xiao Jie controlled his character to arrive at the agreed transaction location, but the other party was a level 10 trumpet named Jin Fugui. He was wearing a green cloth gown, carrying a long sword, and his equipment seemed to be of the highest quality.
Xiao Jie wondered, "Huh? Brother, you're only at level 10. Why buy this thing..."
"Of course it's for sale. Can I still use it for myself? I'm a professional businessman, specializing in reselling. If you need anything in the future, brother, you can tell me. As long as the price is right, I can provide panaceas, martial arts secrets, magic weapons and equipment. I can get it for you.
If you have anything you want to sell, you can tell me and I will give you an absolutely honest price. "
It seems to be another character similar to Wang Kai.
"Okay, let's add a friend and make friends."
The spirit stone talisman was traded, including the previous burial objects, a total of 85 taels.
After finding me, I wanted to become a fairy, "How's it going? Have you sold it?"
"It's sold. There seem to be a lot of generals now. This spear combat skill is very popular. It sold for 9 taels.
Xiao Jie traded another thirty taels for me to become an immortal.
I wanted to become a fairy and was a little confused: "Brother Feng, what does this mean?"
"This is the money from the sale of the spiritual stone talisman, as well as the funerary objects we produced before, and the skill book. These are considered our common property. Of course, we will share the money from the sale, but I contribute more, so I take more. These are your share.”
When the two of them opened the treasure chest together, the spirit stone sigil could not be appraised and its value was uncertain, so Xiao Jie temporarily accepted it. Now, if he sells it, he has to give it to his brother no matter what.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's go, hurry up and learn skills, remember my arrangements, internal strength, martial arts, light skills, riding skills - by the way, you'd better buy another horse."
You can make do with equipment, but skills are indispensable. Skills are the most important thing in this game.
Not only is it the most obvious improvement in personal strength, but the most important thing is that this thing can be used in reality.
This is the legendary inner strength method! The sword technique is so light! After practicing it, he will be a legendary martial arts master. How could he not be excited?
Xiao Jie has already figured out what he wants to learn.
Internal strength and mental skills must be the first priority. This thing is a core skill. Once you learn it, you will have internal strength value that you can use.
When I was a kid, I watched so many martial arts movies, and I was fascinated by the magic of internal strength. Now I finally have the opportunity to learn it.
Then there is a sword technique, which is used in conjunction with internal strength, and according to Ye Luo, if you practice the sword technique to the full level, you can understand the secrets from it. This thing is equivalent to a super special move, with amazing power.
Then there is a light skill, which is indispensable for escaping, dodging, and chasing down enemies.
Finally, there is riding skills. With riding skills, you will be much safer in the wild. If you encounter danger, you can get on your horse and run, and it is also convenient to travel long distances. Otherwise, it would be too strenuous to rely on two legs to run.
As long as these four skills are complete, the combat effectiveness can be increased by at least 30%, so that you can be confident when you go out to level up.
The 55 taels I got from selling things plus the original 24 taels in my bag amounted to a huge sum of 79 taels. I should be able to learn everything I need to learn.
With a huge sum of money in their arms, the two went straight to the martial arts gym.
The martial arts hall in Luoyang Town is located directly north of the town. It covers a large area and is very lively with people coming and going.
What surprised Xiao Jie was that there was a much smaller sword gym opposite the martial arts gym.
Hey, martial arts gym? Sword hall? Why should we open a separate sword hall?
However, Xiao Jie did not dwell on this issue for too long and walked straight into the martial arts gym impatiently.
Martial arts magic - here I come!
The architectural layout of the martial arts hall is quite grand. Not only does each school of martial arts have a corresponding NPC instructor, but there is also a martial arts performance field in the courtyard of the martial arts hall. There are many practice dummies. Several NPC instructors are giving instructions, and some players are facing each other. He used the dummy to practice swordsmanship, spearmanship, boxing and kicking, and he was having a great time fighting.
Not to mention, he is decent.
Xiao Jie scanned these coaches one by one.
‘Hunyuan Yiqi’ Duan Yu (qigong instructor) level 30.
‘Golden Swordsman’ Liu Sanlang. (Swordsmanship Instructor): Level 26.
‘Iron Gun Bully’ Li Ruyi. (Instructor of Spear Skills): Level 27.
‘Iron Ax King Kong’ Jin Yaotian (Instructor of Ax Skills): Level 25…
The names are more flashy than the last, but the appearance of these NPCs is indeed that of a practicing practitioner. Not only are their levels generally over 20, or even 30 skills, but each of them also has a title.
I wanted to become an immortal and went straight to the Iron Ax King Kong, but Xiao Jie went straight to the Qigong instructor.
"Master, I would like to learn an internal skill from you. I don't know if it is possible."
"Hahaha, what's the point? The door of our martial arts school is open, and there is no distinction between classes. Anyone can learn it as long as they can afford the tuition. I know a lot of internal skills, but I don't know which one you want to learn.
A list of skills that can be learned suddenly popped up in front of Xiao Jie's eyes.
