Chapter 11 Exchanging Treasures
Adamostel's eyes lit up as he looked at the Spirit-grade Tiger Skin Luo Feng was carrying: "It really is a Spirit-grade Tiger Skin, a good thing."
"Are you planning to sell your goods here in exchange for something else?"
Big Wolf and the others all looked at Luo Feng, after all, this was something Luo Feng had obtained.
They had previously discussed that it could be made into defensive armor, or sold for other items.
"What are your thoughts? As for my share, I plan to sell it and exchange it for something else," Luo Feng said, looking at the five of them, including Da Lang.
The hide of a Spirit-level Great Ferocious Beast can withstand attacks from ferocious beasts below the Spirit level, but it has almost no effect on attacks from a Spirit-level Great Ferocious Beast.
For those below the Spirit-level Great Ferocity, Luo Feng's clone can handle them perfectly well; but for those above that level, he can't defend against them, so selling them is the best option.
All four of them looked at Twenty-Eight, who was older and a bit narrow-minded, so they decided to let him make the decision first.
"I suggest you sell it and exchange it for other useful things." After thinking for a moment, Brother Erba still chose to sell it.
Adamostel smiled and nodded slightly: "Right now, improving your strength is the most important thing." This tiger skin is quite precious to him. He can strengthen it through some special means and make it into armor for his children. That would be extremely important.
"I wonder how much I can get in exchange?" the Scaled Fish asked.
"Let me see."
Adamostel took the tiger skin from Luo Feng and examined it carefully: "This tiger skin is almost intact... I can give it to you... 1,200 shi."
Adamostel pondered for a moment and then gave a price.
Stone is their unit of currency. It is a special kind of stone that the chieftain brought back from outside and used as a currency for exchanging goods.
Normally, when they hunt and come across medicinal herbs for sale here, they rarely get to sell them for even a single stone. This 1,200 stones is an extremely high price for them.
Adamostel was also afraid that these guys would take them outside and sell them.
Although venturing out of Maoshan Village is fraught with danger, there are two opportunities to go out each year, and there will be people specifically assigned to escort you.
"Sure," Luo Feng agreed immediately. "Clan leader, I'd like to exchange it for something else right here with you."
"I'm fine with it too."
The wolf was overjoyed when it heard the number.
The four of them divided the remaining 600 shi (a unit of dry measure), 150 shi each. This was an amount they couldn't earn in three to five years.
Erba, Linyu, and Shuishi all nodded in agreement.
Adamostel looked at Luo Feng: "Alright. Come in with me."
Led by the chief, they arrived at the village chief's item exchange area, where villagers usually exchanged items.
The room was very large, about 200 square meters.
Five shelves were set up, each containing different items: weapons, protective clothing, books, herbs, and the largest shelf held various kinds of dried meat.
There weren't many items, but for a village like this, they were quite comprehensive.
Luo Feng noticed that there was another door in the room, which was closed, and there might be something even better inside.
"Take your picks and we'll settle the bill together. You can try out the weapons, but you can't touch the herbs and medicinal plants with your bare hands. You should know that rule," Adamostel said.
Luo Feng looked at the items on the shelves, but he was mainly interested in the books.
But most of the villagers were illiterate, and Dano was no exception. Apart from hunting for survival, the village didn't teach them anything else.
Luo Feng glanced at the symbols but didn't recognize them at all.
If Luo Feng chooses these things, he will likely be suspected.
I only glanced at it and realized I didn't recognize the symbols, so I put the idea aside for the time being.
Right now, cultivation is still the most important thing, and improving strength is the most important thing, so naturally, we should choose things that can help improve our strength.
"These bows and arrows cost four hundred shi (a unit of dry measure), that's really expensive." Walking to the weapons shelf, he looked at a longbow made of a more special material, which was much more powerful than the one he had.
Luo Feng took it out and tried it out. It required a lot of force to pull it open, and it was not as flexible as the one in his hand. If he encountered the previous spirit-level worm, he was afraid he wouldn't have time to shoot a second arrow.
However, this power is also great; if the location is right, it can threaten even a Spirit-level Great Ferocious.
"Dano, this bow is quite good. Combined with the sharpness of the Heavenly Iron Arrow, you might actually have a chance to hunt down a Spirit-level Great Ferocious," Chieftain Adamostel laughed.
"Chief, you think too highly of me. If that spirit-level giant insect hadn't been so badly injured, I wouldn't have had the chance to kill it. If I had encountered another spirit-level ferocious beast, it would have been fatal."
Luo Feng smiled and said something, then tried out the bow in his hand and felt that it was indeed good.
At the very least, he needs a suitable bow and arrow to hunt down the ferocious beasts.
As for the knife? It's not safe to use a knife right now, as it would arouse suspicion.
"Chieftain, can you give me a discount on this bow? Or, could you give me a few Heavenly Iron arrowheads?" Luo Feng asked.
"I can give you two Sky Iron Arrows," Adamostel said. "These Sky Iron Arrows are very expensive, and it's not easy for me to bring them back from outside. Giving you two is already the maximum I can do. I'm only giving them to you because you can create value for the village."
"Okay," Luo Feng replied.
Half of the 600 shi of goods has been spent.
For the remaining half, Luo Feng didn't look at the others and went straight to the category of spiritual herbs.
Next to the herbal items were dried meat, which had a very strong aroma.
It must be said that the clan leader possesses formidable strength, capable of hunting down some weaker Spirit-level Great Ferocious Beasts. Here, there is dried meat from Spirit-level Great Ferocious Beasts, which has a strong repairing effect on the body. For ordinary injuries, eating one or two pieces of dried meat, combined with one's own healing abilities, is almost enough to recover.
For children, this dried meat is even more effective for body training.
Luo Feng won't watch it; he'll hunt it himself and eat it as sashimi, which will be the best way to prepare it.
There are many medicinal herbs here, such as the Flame Root that the wolf wants to sell. The bright red root still emits a faint warmth even after it has been dried.
"Qi Blood Vine Root." Luo Feng directly found the most expensive variety.
The root of the Qi Blood Vine resembles a large radish, but it is blood-red, with a hint of golden luster within the red. It is plump and can survive for more than half a year even when exposed to the elements.
It also contains abundant Qi, which is very beneficial for cultivation.
This one alone weighs 250 shi (a unit of dry measure).
This thing has a rather harsh growing environment, and the villagers can't go to the deeper parts of Damao Mountain to find it. It's only sold by the clan chief.
"I'll exchange the Qi Blood Vine Root, the longbow, and five more Heavenly Iron Arrows, that'll make it exactly six hundred." Luo Feng had nothing left; they were all good items to enhance his strength.
"Clan leader, I'll take this Qi Blood Vine root too. Exchange the remaining fifty stones for five Heavenly Iron Arrows, that'll make it exactly six hundred stones." Luo Feng pointed at the Qi Blood Vine root.
