Chapter 956: The Outliers Among Merchants (Please Subscribe, Please Bookmark)
The star world is vast and boundless, and there are countless spiritual objects from different stars. If you want to become a qualified merchant and earn enough profit from it to maintain your own practice, the first threshold is to recognize the types of spiritual objects.
If you can't make a clear judgment on the value of a spiritual object, how can you follow the so-called honesty and trustworthiness? Over time, won't you be the same as other merchants?
There are two solutions to this problem. First, the first thing to do is to continue traveling and gain knowledge, but this requires a long time and investment. Second, it is natural to rely on the records in various jade slips and firmly engrave them in your mind.
At the current stage of the development of various cultivation civilizations in the star world, under the summary of some interested people, some jade slips that specifically describe the common spiritual objects of each star are not uncommon.
As for the authenticity and some rare and unpopular spiritual objects, they can only be tested one by one in future practice, and a complete list of spiritual objects that belong to oneself can be recorded.
When Sun Mingsheng decided to develop and grow his business as a sideline in the Star World, he had already purchased a relatively complete description of the types of spiritual objects above the fourth level on the trading star, and he had firmly engraved it in his mind over the years.
"Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing, my business journey is about to begin"
A few days later, Sun Mingsheng was ready to leave this star where he had been in meditation for a long time under the reluctant gaze of a group of local cultivators.
"Respectfully send off the Heavenly Venerable to venture into the Star World, and please don't forget us"
Under the leadership of several Jindan cultivators, the core figures among hundreds of local cultivators bowed and saluted, and several of them even shed tears that were not sure whether they were real or fake.
"If I have time in the future, I will naturally return here. You need to practice diligently and achieve the Nascent Soul as soon as possible, so that you are qualified to ensure your own safety in the star world."
After Sun Mingsheng gave a few instructions, he turned into a stream of fiery red light and moved forward again. He chose to leave without looking back. As for when he would return, it was still an unknown, at least after completing the next boundary guard.
After each boundary guard mission, each Nascent Soul cultivator has 150 years of free time. This time, most of it has been consumed in order to advance to the second level of the Nascent Soul, and the remaining time is not enough to continue to go deep into the star world.
According to his plan, the remaining time is about ten years to continue to improve his own star map, and the rest is to choose to return to the range of the star map or other large and small trading stars to officially start the first business journey.
In terms of the vastness of the star world and the scarcity of stars with spiritual veins, and Sun Mingsheng chose a relatively remote area, it is highly likely that he will not be able to find a star with spiritual veins in ten years.
Of course, the barrenness of the star region is relative. Perhaps in an unknown corner of this region, there is still a wealthy cultivation civilization that is still developing rapidly.
Sun Mingsheng chose this star region mainly to avoid the prying eyes of some Nascent Soul or even God Transformation. Otherwise, once they fall into their eyes, even if there are some considerable gains, they may not be able to really take them.
Among the wandering monks in the stars, if there is a clear gap in the cultivation between the two sides, they certainly don’t mind fighting for it and acting as a looter.
In this star world where we are currently, occasionally encountering some star wanderers, if the cultivation between the two sides is similar, there will be no substantial conflict easily. Maybe they can trade with each other to achieve a win-win situation.
These wanderers in the star world also have no taboos about this kind of transaction and are welcoming.
After all, not all the spiritual objects that any Yuanying-stage cultivator obtains during his wanderings are consistent with his own attributes. The remaining parts naturally need to be exchanged. Many merchants often trade during their travels to earn a considerable profit.
During his travels, Sun Mingsheng was still very enthusiastic about the improvement of his star map. Every time he found a star, he would never tire of engraving a solid spiritual mark on it and marking it in the star map.
Perhaps when the ten-year period is about to end, the only regret is that, as expected, no star with life and spiritual power has been found.
"Was the original choice too cautious? Is it really correct? Exploring in such a remote and barren star area may not be able to support the needs of cultivation."
"During the entire journey, not even a wanderer of the same level was found? How can the business trip officially start?"
This day, after Sun Mingsheng completed the marking of the spiritual mark on a star without any signs of life, his face showed a helpless look, and at the same time, he couldn't help but have some self-doubt about his original choice.
"This star is occupied by you, Daoist? Can I rest here for a while?"
Just as he was frowning, wondering whether he needed to make the next choice, a rather polite and crisp voice came into his ears.
"This star is just an abandoned star with no use. I am just passing by here to rest. Daoist, please do as you please."
Sun Mingsheng turned around and looked back. The visitor was a cultivator who looked like an eagle in the sky, but had a strange appearance with a sheep's head. He also used the common language of the star world. His aura was similar to Sun Mingsheng's, roughly between the first and second levels of the Nascent Soul, and could not be clearly identified unless a conflict broke out between the two sides.
"Daoyou chose to travel in this starry sky, probably to avoid some high-level cultivators to ensure the ownership of your own spoils. May I ask if you have any gains? Do you need to trade?"
This eagle-like Nascent Soul cultivator seemed quite enthusiastic, and compared to Sun Mingsheng, he was more like a merchant.
"I am a part-time merchant. It would be best if Daoyou is willing to trade. I wonder what kind of treasure you need?"
Facing this first guest who took the initiative to come to his door, Sun Mingsheng would naturally not let him go easily, and under the situation where the strength of both parties was similar, he was not afraid of other unspeakable thoughts in the other party's mind.
"So you are actually a traveling merchant. If I am not mistaken, you are from the human cultivation world. Do you have any high-quality precious pills?" The Eagle Monk was very talkative and had relatively broad knowledge. He seemed to have had similar trading experiences before and was obsessed with high-quality precious pills and wanted to take the initiative to trade.
