Seeing Nie Li holding onto the Dragon's Soul Stone excitedly...
Duan Jian : "In this mountain, there are a lot of mines that produce a variety of ores. Ores like these are very common."
Duan Jian : "If these ores are refined and made into arrowheads, they could have a high lethality against the demon beasts. The arrowheads on all of the families arrows were made using this ore."
Duan Jian : "However when these arrowheads are shot into the body of a demon beast, they melt into their body. Therefore, the consumption is very high."
Made into arrowheads? Used as a disposable item? Nie Li doesn't even know what to say. This is simply throwing away a valuable item!
Wa what was crossing his mind, no matter how many times he heard this he won't be able to come to terms that they waste a valuable treasure...
Nie Li : "Duan Jian, exchange a thousand Blood Crystals, a thousand Dragon's Soul Stones and some of these stones."
Nie Li took out an interspatial ring filled with food and passed it over to Duan Jian, getting him to exchange them.
Nie Li was in the mood for hunting novelty items and looked around.
His gaze continued to search until it landed on one of the items.
This is a strange item. It's a spherical object, somewhat similar to a soul puppet. It has a complex metallic structure.
This was the Blizzard Spiritual Gem which he had traded before and had given to Ziyun to enhance her cultivation but in this life, he didn't need it...
At least he didn't need it for Ziyun but that doesn't mean he doesn't need it for other uses...
Old Man : "This young master over here, this is the treasure that has been passed down in my family for over five hundred years. If it wasn't for the fact that the family is declining now, I wouldn't even be willing to take it out and sell it."
Nie Li : "What's your price for this?"
Old Man : "Five bags of food and I'll sell it to you."
Is this some kind of a joke? Five bags of food could buy a Blizzard Spirit Gem? This is a Blizzard Spirit Gem, one of the nine great spirit gems!
With the Blizzard Spirit Gem, a Snow Wind attribute Demon Spiritualist would be able to have their soul force grow several times more than their original amount. Furthermore, all their Snow Wind attribute combat abilities would experience an increase in power!
Old Man : "Is five bags of food too expensive? Then how about three bags?"
The old man look at Nie Li timidly, seeing that he was not speaking he thought he asked too much and lowered his price...
During the Age of Darkness, the usage of many treasures has been long lost. Although this item has been passed down by their ancestor, this old man probably doesn't even know what the Blizzard Spiritual Gem is nor it's worth.
If they can be satisfied with their meal, then what's the point of protecting an item that's been passed down by their ancestor?
Old Man : "Then two bags, nothing less than that."
Nie Li looked at the old man. Regarding valuable items, there's no practical usage for the old man. What they need the most is food.
He felt that this old man was fated with him somehow perhaps because he wanted to take care of his family as it was declining...
Nie Li : "Twenty bags of food and five pounds of meat, all yours!"
Nie Li's right hand waved, retrieving the items. If he were to offer too much, the old man probably wouldn't be able to carry them back.
Looking at all of this food, the old man submerged into a long dumbfound thought. Thereafter, tears were falling down his face as he kowtowed towards Nie Li.
The old man and his family have already reached the end and there isn't anything in their house that can be sold.
As for this Blizzard Spiritual Gem, he doesn't know of its usage and has been trying to sell it for dozens of days, but there wasn't anyone willing to buy it.
He has two grandchildren who were starving at home, and the old man didn't know what else he could do for them.
He originally thought that he could sell this gem for two or three bags of food, which for him, can already be considered pretty good. He never imagined that Nie Li would give him so much food for it.
Nie Li : "Old man, even if I exchange your item with all of this food, I'd still benefit from you. If you have any requests, you can mention it."
Nie Li said. He also wanted to offer several valuable things but he understands that if he were to give someone something too valuable, it would bring disaster to this old man and his family instead.
Old Man : "I didn't know this item could be exchanged for so much food. God has already been kind to me, I have no other requests."
The old man gave a few more kowtows. Two skinny youths walked to the side of the old man.
Old Man : "Da Niu, Er Niu, hurry, kowtow the benefactor!"
The old man hurriedly said to the two youths. The two youths did not say anything and started kowtowing.
Nie Li lamented in his heart. He took out another five bags of food and a few pounds of meat, placed it on the store and left with the Blizzard Spiritual Gem in his interspatial ring.
Seeing the mountainous pile of food, the old man's tears came down like rain as he quivered.
Old Man : "Heavens have to bless this benefactor!"
Seeing this scene, the other storekeepers looked at the old man's pile of food with envy. However, they did not dare to do anything; after all, this trading market is managed by the Divine Flames Family. Therefore, they don't dare to cause any trouble here.
