Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Xingang, Tianquan Mountains, Crescent Gate, outside Mo Daode's Cave, a ray of light shot out, revealing the figure of a white and elegant man, it was Xu Zhijie, he turned his left hand, and the talisman disappeared into the thick fog.

Not long after, as the thick fog rolled, a light flashed inside, and the figure of a charming woman appeared. She bowed and saluted: "Uncle Xu, master, please come in."

Xu Zhijie followed her to the main room of the cave mansion, saluted Mo Daodeji and said, "Master."

Mo Daode nodded slightly: "Junior Brother Xu is back, how is it? Is everything done?"

"I have already negotiated with Xueyu Merchant on behalf of the sect, and the spirit stones have been sent to them, but..." Xu Zhijie hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong? What's the problem?"

"It's not a problem, it's just that I happened to run into Xingang Xuanmen's team at Xueyu Chamber of Commerce."

Mo Daode said suspiciously: "Oh? Aren't they still giving up? Do you want to fight for the right to breed fire rats?"

Xu Zhijie said: "Originally I thought so too, but after some inquiring I found out that they had already discussed the breeding of Red Flame Birds. And in addition to the fire rats we breed, like the porcupines raised by the Blood Bone Sect, the Youmei Sect They didn’t even talk about the Black Tooth Fish and Moon Rabbit raised by the Corpse Puppet Sect.”

Mo Daode's face darkened when he heard this: "You mean, Xingang Xuanmen and Xueyu Chamber of Commerce played a double act? They fooled us? We paid half an extra percent of the profit in vain."

Xu Zhijie said: "It is impossible to say that they are a double act, but the Xueyu Chamber of Commerce did set us up. I hope if we had persisted at that time, they might not have cooperated with Xuanmen in the end."

"These bastards." Mo Daode looked a little ugly. Of the three sects of the Xingang Demon Sect, he was the only one who paid an extra half percent of the profit in vain. The Blood Bone Sect and the Youmei Sect were standing still. They pale in comparison. .

"Can we talk to them again? Now that Xuanmen has obtained the right to breed the Flamingo, the Xueyu Chamber of Commerce has no leverage. Can we reduce the profits next time?"

"Have you ever seen a tiger spit out meat from its mouth? Let's stop this matter!"

"Then I'll take my leave first."

………………………

On Xuanyi Island, among the mist-shrouded mountains and forests, there are escaping lights rising into the sky from time to time.

Under the clouds and mist, towering pavilions and pavilions were lined up in rows. On both sides of the street, many casual cultivators were placing items, hanging signs and shouting vigorously, just like the peddlers and lackeys in the market.

In a stone hall in the center, many figures were bustling in the dim hall, some wearing masks, some wearing hats and black robes, few of them showed their faces.

The lights on the stage were shining brightly, and two men were introducing the items in front of the desk. This was a small auction organized by several local families, mainly targeting foundation-building monks.

In the corner of the hall, two men wearing black robes and bamboo hats said nothing, quietly watching the people on the stage selling hard. They were Tang Ning and Xiao Mobai.

In the past two or three months, they have been running around, going to many underground markets and auctions, and have collected almost all the materials in hand. Now there is only one snake gall of a second-level snake monster that they have not bought.

This time they came to this auction just to see if anyone had the second-level snake gallbladder in the free bidding session.

After a long time, the auction organizers displayed all the items on hand, and the man on the stage announced that the free auction would begin.

As soon as he finished speaking, Tangning flashed her light and reached the stage, bowing her hands to everyone in the audience.

He flipped his left hand, took out the spirit beast bag, and pointed it upward. The spirit beast bag swelled up in the wind and became several feet in size. A body of a rhinoceros ant with a shiny black body fell out from the inside.

It was the dead rhinoceros ant queen. This queen ant had not yet grown to its final form. She was not as good as the queen ant at the bottom of Changliu Lake. She was only two feet long and half a foot tall.

Its body is not tough enough to be used as the main material for top-grade spiritual weapons, so it can only be refined into top-grade spiritual weapons.

Tang Ning had no shortage of high-grade spiritual weapons, so the corpse of the queen ant seemed somewhat useless. It would be a pity to abandon it, so she might as well put it up for auction.

"This is the corpse of the second-level monster rhinoceros ant queen. Its body is extremely tough and can be used as the main material for high-grade spiritual weapons. If you are willing to add good auxiliary materials and meet a skilled weapon refiner, you can refine the best spiritual weapons. The instrument is also unknown.”

Tangning pointed at the corpse of the queen ant and said, "The price is 20,000 spirit stones. If you are interested, please come up. I also want to buy the snake gall of a second-level snake monster. Fellow Taoists, if you have this, please come and trade it."

There was silence and no sound under the stage. After about a few dozen breaths, a tall, thin man wearing a mask flashed from below and arrived on the stage.

Tang Ning asked, "Do you want to buy the rhinoceros ant queen's body, or are you selling snake gallbladder?"

The tall and thin man said: "Is the body of your Rhinoceros Ant Queen so tough? Can it be used as the main material of a commercial spiritual weapon?"

"Fellow Taoist, you will know once you try it."

The tall and thin man didn't waste any time. He pulled out a red axe, raised it in the wind, and struck it down hard.

There was only a loud sound of gold and stone clashing, and the red ax stood on the body of the rhinoceros ant, leaving only a cut mark that was about an inch deep.

"Not bad." The tall and thin man nodded and put away the red axe: "It is enough to be used as the main material for a high-grade spiritual weapon. I want 20,000 spiritual stones."

After saying that, he turned his left hand and took out two high-grade spiritual stones from the storage bag and handed them to Tang Ning.

After the two completed the transaction, the tall and lanky man put the body of the Rhinoceros Ant Queen into a storage bag, flashed out of sight, and stepped off the stage.

Tangning still refused to give up and asked again: "I would like to sincerely purchase a second-level monster snake gallbladder. The price is negotiable and I will never lose money to you fellow Taoists."

The audience was still silent. At this moment, another man had already stepped onto the stage. Tangning had no choice but to get off the stage and return to her seat: "It seems that the trip was in vain."

Xiao Mobai nodded: "Let's go!"

The two of them left the hall and walked on the bluestone street. On both sides were casual cultivators who set up stalls selling various cultivation materials. He asked one by one, but there was no monster snake gall for sale.

When I walked to the end of the street, I saw a vendor's wooden board with the words "Selling Monster Materials" written on it. There were two men in front of the stall talking to the stall owner.

Tang Ning stepped forward quickly. Seeing that he was a late-stage Foundation Establishment monk, the two men gave in slightly.

The owner of the stall was a middle-aged man with a beard and cheeks. He looked quite loyal and had an early stage of foundation building. On the desk in front of the stall were some monster limbs and corpses. He saw Tangning striding towards her. , asked: "Do you need monster materials, fellow Taoist?"

"Do you have the snake gall of a second-level monster here?"

"No, these are all first-order sea monsters."

Tangning was slightly disappointed and was about to leave when she heard him say, "But I have a friend. I know that he hunted and killed a second-order snake monster a few years ago. I wonder if he still has it?" If you really need it, I can help you ask."

"Oh? I wonder where your friend is?"

The man replied: "He was in Yun Valley before, but I don't know if he is still there now?"

"Please also ask fellow Taoist to take me there. I will give you a thank you gift."

"Okay! I'll take you there after I close the stall."

Tang Ning and Xiao Mobai waited aside. After nightfall, the vendors on both sides of the street closed their stalls and left.

Around 1 hour, the man also put away his stall and said to the two of them: "You two, come with me!"

The three of them jumped into the air with a flash of light. Tangning asked, "Do fellow Taoists often come here to set up a stall and sell monster materials?"

He watched for half a day and found that these vendors were making a lot of money! In just half a day, seven to eight hundred spirit stones were sold. Based on this calculation, if it were put on the market for a month, it would still earn thirty to forty thousand spirit stones.

The man smiled and said: "How can I come here every day? I come a few times when I have goods. Most of the time I have to practice, including hunting at sea."

Xiao Mobai said: "Our cultivation is higher than yours, so you trust us so much and take us to your friend's residence. Aren't you afraid that we might have evil intentions? There are not many casual cultivators like you, so it's better to be more cautious to avoid being harmed. Someone’s conspiracy.”

The man chuckled: "I recognize you. Aren't you Xiao Mobai? Otherwise, I wouldn't mind this business and take you to my friend's place."

"Oh?" Xiao Mobai glanced at him in surprise. He couldn't remember where he had seen him before, and asked doubtfully, "Who are you?"

The man replied: "My name is Wang Jia. You may not know me, but I know you. Don't you guys often go out to sea to hunt monsters? I met you once in the Yuyun car I was riding. At that time, I The foundation has not yet been established. The organizer of our fishing team is named Wang Ruichong, I believe you should know him!"

Xiao Mobai suddenly said: "It turns out to be Brother Wang's fishing team."

Wang Jiadao: "After I established the foundation, I left Brother Wang's fishing team. Over the years, I also formed a fishing team. Occasionally, I would go to sea with a few friends to hunt the second-level monsters in the sea. On Xuanyi Island Among the many teams that hunted monsters, everyone said that you are a chivalrous person who takes wealth lightly, so I took you to my friend's place."

Xiao Mobai said: "That's just a compliment from fellow Taoists. It's nothing more than false praise. It can't be counted. How is your own fishing team? Is the harvest good?"

"So-so! In recent years, war ships have been passing by from above. I heard that they were to support Mubei. Skeleton ships have also been dispatched more frequently. Sometimes they even fight, causing chaos on the bottom of the sea. Many types of monsters By changing routes or changing habitats, hunting is not as easy as it used to be.”

"Where is your exploration team?"

"The farthest one is 10,000 nautical miles away from Tiancheng Station."

Tangning was listening to the conversation between the two and couldn't get a word in at all. He didn't understand anything about the Yuyun Ship, the fishing team, or the exploration team. He had never heard of it.
