Careless Exposure
Careless Exposure
Ye Mo not only wanted to buy a few jade slips but also to understand Bi Yi Immortal City as well as the situation of the 33 heavens. He went directly to the heart of the city.
The immortal spirit chi was very dense in the city center, making Ye Mo want to find a quiet place and cultivate, but he knew that was impossible.
If the immortal city permitted this there would be cultivators sitting all over the ground.
The main streets were very busy and even the market stalls were very luxurious, much less those grandiose merchant towers.
Ye Mo walked around, there were too many shops here. He didn't know how many cultivators were here and how they were so wealthy. Most shops had many cultivators walking inside.
Ye Mo knew that on Luo Yue he was a wealthy man, but in the immortal realm he was broke. He had only mere 21 low grade immortal crystals. He wouldn't feel self conscious about this, but he knew that going there with such few immortal crystals was asking for trouble.
So, Ye Mo chose to go to a smaller merchant shop.
Going inside, Ye Mo felt an even denser immortal spirit chi than outside. Ye Mo couldn't help taking a deep breath while sighing, cultivation was all about cultivation resources. Without them, no matter how hard you worked you wouldn't be able to reach higher cultivation states.
There were neatly organized rows of light orb restrictions. Each restriction had pills, herbs and magic artifacts. This shop wasn't big and only had one level.
When Ye Mo came in, there were already a few people looking inside the light orbs carefully.
Ye Mo didn't look at those light orb restrictions. He knew that with his low grade immortal crystals he wouldn't be able to buy anything. He walked to a golden immortal cultivator at the front desk. He got up politely and asked, "What do you need friend?"
"Is there any cultivation method and details about 33 heavens?" Ye Mo quickly asked.
Hearing that Ye Mo was here to buy a cultivation method the golden immortal's smile immediately lit up. He quickly said, "You came to the right place, I have from heaven grade to immortal grade cultivation method. The highest is immortal grade level four. As for the 33 heaven information, I can give it to you for free if you buy a cultivation method."
"Then what is the price for an immortal grade level one cultivation method?" Ye Mo thought he had a lot of materials and extreme grade cultivation artifacts. He might be able to trade for some immortal crystals.
Hearing this, the golden immortal's eyes smiled until they could be barely seen. "There are many types look at which type you want. The price is about 10000 top grade immortal crystals to 30000 top grade immortal crystals…"
"This expensive?" Ye Mo took a cold breath in. If an immortal grade level one cultivation method was this expensive, how could Li Heng and them cultivate?
Hearing this, the golden immortal's fervor reduced by quite a bit but he still smiled. "The cultivation methods I have here are all high level cultivation methods. They're completely different than the cultivation methods that low level solo cultivators spread amongst each other."
Ye Mo knew this golden immortal was bluffing, but he didn't care. At least now he realised where Li Heng and the rest's cultivation methods came from. They were copied around by low level cultivators. This way it would cost much fewer immortal crystals. When they were strong enough, they could switch cultivation methods.
"In that case I don't want a cultivation method, just give me the details about the 33 heaven domains," Ye Mo said.
There was disappointment in his eyes. This was a huge difference.
But he still took out a jade slip and said, "100 low grade immortal crystals, non negotiable."
Ye Mo still hasn't gotten out of the mentality that in the cultivation realm immortal crystals were very expensive. He thought one jade slip would at most cost around ten immortal crystals. After all, it could be copied everywhere.
"Um, I only have 21 immortal crystals, i…"
Ye Mo didn't even get to say he could trade in things for immortal crystals and the golden immortal took the jade slip back. He was good tempered, but even he couldn't deal with a cultivator who couldn't even take out 100 low grade immortal crystals. Plus this cultivator was much weaker than him.
"I have extreme grade cultivation artifacts here, do you guys take them?" Ye Mo felt awkward.
"No." clearly the golden immortal didn't want to talk to Ye Mo anymore.
"Haha, friend I'll take your extreme grade cultivation artifact," another fatter cultivator walked over and said genuinely.
Ye Mo scanned this person and could tell he was a golden immortal too. He could tell that the shoes he was wearing were at least low grade immortal artifact. His clothes and bracelet were all defense immortal artifacts.
With Ye Mo's experience, he could tell that this cultivator wanted to help him. Usually he wouldn't be this desperate, but now he desperately needed to know where Yue Heng Heaven and Gong Hua Heaven were.
Thinking about this, Ye Mo thanked him and took out an extreme grade flying cultivation artifact he made and showed it to the fat cultivator. "What do you think?"
"Hmm, it's a flying magic artifact, good thing." The fat cultivator indeed wanted to help Ye Mo, but he was a little shaken when Ye Mo took this out. How could Ye Mo have an extreme grade flying cultivation artifact if he couldn't afford 100 low grade immortal crystals?
Extreme grade cultivation artifacts weren't worth money in the immortal realm indeed, but there was still a market for extreme grade flying cultivation artifacts.
"I'll give you 500 immortal crystals." The fat cultivator took out 500 low grade immortal crystals and gave them to Ye Mo.
Ye Mo didn't know the prices in the immortal realm but he knew it wouldn't be very high.
Ye Mo took it and then took out two Corner Soul Weeds and gave them to the cultivator. "I get these occasionally. Thanks for helping friend, you can keep them."
"Corner Soul Weed…" The golden immortal who didn't want to talk to Ye Mo sprung up in shock.
The fat cultivator didn't really mind but upon hearing 'Corner Soul Weed' there was surprise and joy in his eyes.
Ye Mo was dazed, the Corner Soul Weed came from the cultivation realm. There were plenty in the Sea Corner, how could a golden immortal know of this? He only took out clear weed.
"Friend, do you have more Corner Soul Weed? I'm willing to pay 500 - no, 1000 top grade immortal crystals to buy your Corner Soul Weeds…" the golden immortal said desperately.
Ye Mo was shook, he didn't expect the Corner Soul Weed was this precious.
Ye Mo didn't feel good, he was worried. How could he not know the cruelty of cultivation by now? Although this was a prosperous city and everyone smiled at you, if there was a conflict of interest, these people wouldn't hesitate to release their magic artifacts at you and kill you.
The fat cultivator was overjoyed, but hearing the bid of the golden immortal his heart sunk. 1000 top grade immortal crystals were 100,000 low grade immortal crystals. This definitely wasn't the bottom price of a Corner Soul Weed. He helped Ye Mo with 500 low grade immortal crystals, but Ye Mo gave him an extreme grade flying cultivation artifact. If he was going to pay Ye Mo immortal crystals, it would be too much. He was wealthy but he couldn't spend it like that.
The fat golden immortal gave the two Corner Soul Weeds back to Ye Mo. "Friend, this is too preciou., I, Yan Hongzhong, can't take this."
Ye Mo pushed them back to him. "I only have these two, I bought them from a market. To me, although they have some use for spirit sense, it's too little. Since I gave them out I don't intend to get them back."
Then, Ye Mo saluted with his fists to the merchant tower's golden immortal. "Sorry, I only have these two and I've given them away."
Ye Mo didn't expect the Corner Soul Weed was this precious in the immortal realm too. It wasn't wise he didn't take them out. He didn't intend to buy jade slips anymore and turned to leave.
Yan Hongzhong stopped Ye Mo. "Friend, since I got something so precious from you, I have two jade slips here. Have a look."
