Practice begins with a fisherman

"The Tianya caravan is indeed as powerful as in the legends, and Zhao is very admired." How could Zhao Shoushou, who had traveled on the sub-continent, not know the risks involved.

No matter which practice world they are in, flying monsters rely on their talents and are always the most difficult existence in this level, regardless of victory or defeat, they come and go freely.

A team of flying demon birds that are migrating must have at least twenty of them, and the leader should be at the top level of the third level, with at least three companions of the middle and low level of the third level, and they will also cooperate with each other, and their combat effectiveness is definitely far away. Far more than a simple one plus one.

The Tianya caravan was able to face off against this complete group of monster birds for several months, and only suffered some minor losses.

"Fellow Daoist praised you a lot, but he was just persevering because he was at a disadvantage." Zhao Haiyang showed a wry smile on his face, obviously it was not easy back then.

"This is the Taoist friend who specifically told me to exchange for the blood of the Qinglong, Baihu, and Suzaku true spirits. According to the agreement, you only need to pay three complete drops of Xuanwu true spirit blood." A treasure that is ready to be traded.

The two traded in the Sheriff's Mansion. With the arrival of the Tianya Caravan, the Sheriff's Mansion specially opened a trading place in the northwest corner for the caravan to settle in. The patrol team dispatched two hundred soldiers, plus two Jindan early-stage monks to carry out the transaction. Deterrence patrols, to prevent Xiaoxiao people from taking the opportunity to make trouble.

The soldiers of the patrol team were also quite fierce. Once they found any intentional troublemakers, they would definitely suppress and deal with them as soon as possible.

According to the agreement between the county guard's office and the caravan, these soldiers in charge of suppression can enjoy a certain percentage discount when exchanging various cultivation resources.

Money can turn ghosts around, and having enough benefits is also the driving force for the monks. The two teams of soldiers who were transferred were obviously more loyal to him on weekdays.

Through the profit distribution after the last battle of Blackwater Fish, most of the soldiers of the patrol team have returned to their hearts, but there are always differences in things, especially under the influence of some sects in some counties Longing for the so-called sect life.

After being successfully promoted to the eighth level of Jindan, Zhao Shoushou specially reorganized the patrol team and transferred some more loyal monks to form two teams, that is, the monks who are performing tasks this time. It was done by them. Under the dual interests, the hearts of the patrol team have gradually moved closer to him, and the major sects and families can barely rely on their accumulated prestige over the years to win over one or two of them.

In addition to the necessary deterrence by force, some special incentive measures are also essential. As long as the transaction amount reaches a certain level in the caravan, they can enjoy a certain discount, thus attracting a large number of monks to come to trade.

Facts have proved that these methods are also very effective. After the caravan arrived and the transaction officially kicked off, this place has almost become the core of the entire county for a while, and the daily transaction volume is an astonishing number.

The last time the caravan came to Zhao Shoushou, he focused his energy on retreating and practicing, and only dealt with it according to the usual practice without paying too much attention. Only then did he really understand the meaning of the caravan.

"It's no wonder that whenever a caravan passes by, there will be a large number of bandit cultivators appearing on the hills, big and small. Some treasures with such a high value are a little bit tempted." Zhao Shoushou couldn't help sighing as he walked in the crowded temporary warehouse.

Three drops of true spirit blood may be valuable treasures for a monk, but compared to a huge caravan, it is obviously nothing but a drop in the bucket and not worth mentioning at all.

What's more, Zhao Shoushou is not an empty-handed white wolf, but is really trading with the true blood of the Xuanwu lineage. The caravan has just never made too obvious profits. The transaction simply does not exist, and he is already quite principled in comparison to this point.

Chapter 712 News of the Royal Auction

"Behind these caravans there must be a series of power transfers. They are too greedy to get a share of it. The cultivation base of Jindanqi is far from enough." This is the conclusion after having a new understanding of the scale of caravan transactions. Of course He is also grateful for his choice.

The ability of the real controller behind the caravan far surpasses that of a so-called county magistrate. If he takes too much beyond his own authority, there will be some bad luck.

There is a saying in the world of mortals: the richer people are, the more stingy they are. All kinds of quirks are born.

The most common among them is naturally the hobby of collecting all kinds of treasures. Once a monk touches their interests, he will definitely suffer the most fierce counterattack.

Although Zhao Shoushou is not clear about the past examples of the cultivation world in the Central Plains, he still understands some due rules quite clearly.

The caravan stayed in Qiwu County City for a total of three months. During this period, it earned at least tens of thousands of top-grade spirit stones. The various spiritual materials collected locally would cost at least tens of thousands of top-grade spirit stones when transported to a suitable area. The profit of spirit stones is simply a walking storehouse of spirit stones.

Of course, it’s not just the caravan that gets the benefits. Officials, big and small, from the sheriff’s mansion, and casual practitioners during the Qi refining period, will more or less get some considerable profits from it. It can be said that everyone is happy. The reason why it is welcomed everywhere.

Especially for some monks who are close to breaking through but lack enough elixir, caravans are one of the easiest ways for them to obtain them.

Whenever a caravan leaves, a large number of monks will break through the bottleneck and advance to a new level of cultivation within a year.

"Thank you, Daoist Zhao, for your support over the past few months. Let's evacuate now, and we will meet again someday." After the transaction was completed at noon that day, the caravan was finally ready to leave for the next location. The leader of the caravan, Zhao Haishi, solemnly met with he said goodbye.

"Fellow Daoists have a smooth journey, and we will meet again in three years." The two expressed their regretful parting. From the outside, it seemed like parting from old friends for many years.

"Two years later, Zhou Songguo's [-]-year royal auction will be held, so we might be able to meet again," Zhao Haishi said meaningfully at the last moment.

The purpose of the Zhou Song Kingdom Royal Auction was to expand the influence of the royal family. All the treasures were from the palace, and each piece was the best of the best.

Every royal auction is not only paid attention to by monks who have lived in their own country for a long time, but also monks from other countries will come from thousands of miles away.

Not only the royal family of the Zhou and Song Kingdoms, but all the royal families of all sizes in the entire Central Plains cultivation world will hold similar auctions. On the one hand, they can earn spirit stones, and on the other hand, they can increase their own influence. There is no one who can kill two birds with one stone. reason.

As the local ruler of the royal family, Zhao Shoushou naturally had the duty to integrate into it, and Zhao Haishi's reminder was just to let him prepare in advance.

"The Royal Auction is indeed a grand event in the Zhou and Song kingdoms. There may be some natural materials and earthly treasures that can help promote the Nascent Soul," Zhao Shoushou murmured, but the gleam of light in his eyes contained bursts of hope.

Overcoming countless difficulties and obstacles along the way, Nascent Soul has become one of the biggest goals at this stage. Since the late stage of Jindan promotion, in addition to searching for all kinds of treasures that are conducive to improving cultivation, treasures that can assist in the promotion of Nascent Soul have been Work hard for it, but always get nothing.

The various resources in the cultivation world of the Central Plains are relatively abundant, but compared to the huge group of monks, it is still not worth mentioning that they are still unable to make ends meet, especially the treasures of heaven and earth that help break some major bottlenecks of cultivation bases.

Maybe among some famous sects or royal families who occupy a lot of resources, they can still find one or two with the advantage of power, but for a casual cultivator like him, it can be said to be as difficult as heaven.

According to the past practice, the Zhou Song Kingdom's royal auction is divided into two stages. The first stage is mainly participated by monks in the Jindan stage. The treasures for the auction are mainly third-order spiritual objects. Helpful panacea.

The second stage is an auction exclusively for monks in the Nascent Soul stage. Each Nascent Soul monster can bring a junior to participate. The lowest rank of the auction is the fourth-rank low-grade treasure.

Zhao Shoushou was born as a casual cultivator and had no foundation in the cultivation world of the Central Plains. Naturally, there would be no Yuanying Patriarch to guide him to increase his knowledge. The main purpose was the finale treasure of the first stage.

"The treasures accumulated over the years seem to need to be dealt with this time. Mr. Zhao's storage bag is destined to be dry." The self-mockery in the words is clear, but there is no hesitation.

In addition to the treasures used to assist in the promotion of Nascent Soul, the Spirit Beast Pagoda is also a treasure that must be obtained. After the two cormorants are promoted to the third-rank low-rank, they must be provided with a relatively comfortable environment.

At the beginning, Zhao Shoushou once obtained a mysterious panacea together with the Earth Splitting Blade in a cave on the subcontinent.

In recent years, I have also searched for various ancient jade slips, but unfortunately there are very few records about it, and until now I still haven't figured out its details.

During each auction, various shops in Fang City will take out the treasures at the bottom of the box. If there is a suitable opportunity, they will naturally buy one or two. No matter where the effect of the panacea is, it is necessary to get it as soon as possible. The mysteries figured out.

Since he got accurate information from the caravan, Zhao Shoushou naturally needed to make some preparations in advance, which was also a valuable opportunity.

The royal family is a group with a large number of monks, including servants, royal family members and some non-staff members. The annual consumption of various resources and spirit stones is also a huge amount.

Among them, the most obvious thing on the surface should be the spirit stone, which serves as the mainstream means of trading. Even if they dig all out in the large and small spirit veins under their control every year, it is still not enough to make ends meet.

Another task of the Royal Auction is to raise a large amount of spiritual stones to meet the needs of the royal family's normal operation. The transactions here are also mainly based on spiritual stones.

This is also the significance of the Tianya Caravan's reminder in advance. Once the news about the royal auction is spread, the price of Lingshi exchange will inevitably rise, and the price of rare treasures will also fall accordingly. If Zhao Shoushou can plan in advance Second, you can definitely get a lot of benefits from it, if you have the right opportunity to buy some treasures that are suitable for you and have a good value.

"The cultivation world in the Central Plains is really a blessed place. A large amount of cultivation resources are continuously flowing into the pocket. This feeling is really intoxicating." This is Zhao Shoushou's most genuine feeling from the bottom of his heart.

Since he was lucky enough to get the news in advance, he would not waste it in vain. Zhao Shoushou acted decisively at the first time. After sorting the treasures in the storage bag, he began to dispose of them in large quantities.

Chapter 713 Spirit Stone Raising Three Great Axes

It is a pity that after these years of consumption, although various treasures remain to a certain extent, the quantity and types are not too abundant, and some of them are left to meet the needs of daily practice, and the treasures that can be sold to exchange for spirit stones are really limited.

In the royal auction, since the treasures that appear are all high-quality goods, the value of each piece is naturally extraordinary, and the amount of spirit stones that need to be consumed is also innumerable.

What's more, his goal is the treasure with the highest value among the finale treasures that can assist in the promotion of Nascent Soul. As a casual cultivator, it must be quite difficult to get it.

No matter how wealthy a casual cultivator is, it is still only the power of one person. A seemingly insignificant family and sect is the power accumulated by generations, and the gap cannot be made up at all.

Of course, these families and sects are sustainable development, and there is also a limit to the price each treasure can bear. One of the few sources of treasure.

After Zhao Shoushou finished disposing of all the unused treasures in a few days, he couldn't help frowning with some sorrow.

"On an ordinary day, 2 yuan of high-grade spirit stones is naturally a lot of wealth. Unfortunately, for the royal auction, it is just a drop in the bucket. It cannot meet the needs of daily practice. It seems that we need to think about it. Other methods" Since the road ahead is blocked, it is necessary to think about some other ways.

Now he is not only a casual cultivator, but also the governor of Qiwu County and the actual controller of the local area. After many years of operation, he is also secretly controlling the allocation of certain resources. shares are sold at one time.

The local actual controllers are naturally happy to see the latter situation. Paying a certain price for a while can exchange for a steady stream of income. Naturally, it is a profitable business.

As long as there are two sources of these resources: first, some newly-appeared or previously undiscovered spiritual veins and mineral veins, the Central Plains cultivation world is vast and abundant, and similar situations are really common; The value ranking relies on the latter for disposal.

The common point of the two sources is that the local sheriff's office has a certain authority over the distribution plan. The various sects and families will contribute part of the share according to the management. They don't need to participate in the daily management, and the dividends can be distributed according to the year.

If Zhao Shoushou was born locally and had a strong background, he would naturally not have such a prodigal behavior. However, these continuous long-term plans are not very attractive to a monk who aims to improve his own cultivation.

Soon in the city of Qiwu County, the nickname of "prodigal son" had been assigned to him, and some families and sects that actually controlled the resources were very happy and bought his share at an obviously high price.

A small and medium-sized spirit mine with good quality can satisfy a family sect for more than 50 years of mining. If a little attention is paid to the protection of the core of the vein during the mining process, it is not difficult to extend the time to a hundred years.

These family sects only need to pay a small sum of spirit stones, which is not expensive, to completely control the mine veins in their own hands, which can be regarded as leaving a solid foundation for future development.

In this way, after two busy months, Zhao Shoushou raised a total of 3 yuan of top-grade spirit stones. Looking at the neatly arranged spirit stones of the same size and full of spiritual power in the storage bag, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

One hundred thousand snowflake silver from the prefect of the Qing Dynasty for three years is about the same for monks. Ten years of career as a prefect, in exchange for a full 3 yuan of high-grade spirit stones, is already a huge sum of money for many casual cultivators.

"The price of any kind of heaven, material and earth treasures that can assist in the promotion of Nascent Soul is at least 4 yuan for high-grade spirit stones. With the addition of spirit beast towers and other treasures, Mr. Zhao still cannot relax at all." Jun After counting the spirit stones in the guard house, although there was a little relaxation, they still didn't dare to be careless.

If you want to get a piece of the pie during the royal auction, a mere 5 yuan top-grade spirit stone is like a drop of water in a big river, it is far from enough.

After selling all the treasures that can be sold, there is only one and the most primitive path left, which is to go to the wild to hunt some third-tier mid-high-grade monsters and pick some high-quality elixir.

These things have always been in high demand in the world of comprehension, and there is no doubt about the price. If you are lucky, a late-stage golden core cultivator will make a full effort in a year, and you can earn [-] high-grade spirit stones , can be regarded as a small supplement.

Zhao Shoushou was quite decisive in terms of mobility. Since the third day, he had already traveled to some barren mountains and dense forests outside the city of Qiwu County.

Qiwu County is located in the hinterland of the Zhou Song Kingdom, and there are not many foreign aggressions. The purpose of the prefect's mansion and patrol soldiers is to suppress possible monsters.

The development here may be better than that of Pine County on the border, but it is still difficult to avoid the dilemma of sparsely populated land. In addition to the large and small cities, fortresses and official roads built on high-quality spiritual veins, Most of the area is a paradise for monsters.

In the deep mountains and dense forests, apart from monsters and beasts, some naturally grown elixir is also of great value. Every day, a large number of monks go deep into it to find opportunities.

The winners naturally return with full rewards and can exchange a large amount of cultivation resources in the market, but more are losers. For various reasons, they disappear into the dense forest and never appear again. Every day, there will be several happy events. A few sad dramas.

The cultivators who come and go to pick the elixir are mainly the cultivators of the Foundation Establishment stage, mixed with some daring cultivators of the later stage of Qi Refining, who are trying to get something out of the periphery.

There are very few Jindan monks, and occasionally they appear as a stream of light. In the evening of this day, there was a maverick Jindan late-stage monk, carrying a thousand-year-old monk on his back. Jun Zhong has red and shiny fur, and the appearance of his head is [-]% similar to that of a lion.

"The Jade Fire Lion, this is the third-tier top-grade Jade Fire Lion. It occupies a nearby mountain with fire veins. It has been king for more than 30 years. It loves to devour blood and food. Every year, no less than a hundred monks fall. "

"On the site of the Yuzhaohuo lion, there is a third-rank top-grade Jadezhaohuo spiritual fruit spiritual plant, which can mature once every hundred years. Once refined, it can increase the origin of the golden core of the fire cultivator, and can assist the cultivation base of the late golden core monks. promotion"

"Juncheng, the monk who hunted and killed the Yuzhaohuo lion is Juncheng, no wonder I haven't seen his trace in the past year, it turned out to be confronting this fierce beast"

Amidst the discussions of some low-level monks, Zhao Shoushou's figure has disappeared, and every step forward is several feet or even more than ten feet away. Hunting monsters is also the third ax for raising spirit stones for the royal auction. Judging from the results, it is obviously qualified.

Chapter 714 Reappearance of the Zhou and Song Dynasty Imperial City

Just a complete third-rank high-grade Jade Fire Lion corpse is enough to exchange for 8000 yuan of high-grade spirit stones, not to mention that the real finale treasure is still in the storage bag.

Before Zhao Shoushou arrived in the county, the communication talisman had already transmitted the news of his hunting of the Yuzhaohuo lion to some families, sects and even shops in the city.

Therefore, when Zhao Shoushou's figure arrived at the predetermined position, some monks who were interested in fighting for the prey were already waiting at the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion.

What's more, for these monks, the most precious thing is not the body of Yuzhaohuo lion, which is just an add-on to the spiritual fruit growing in its lair.

Among them, families who are good at fire-attributed monks inheriting exercises are the most urgent. If these Yuzhao Fire Spirit Fruits are used, they are enough to cultivate a brand-new Jindan late-stage monk, or let a monk who has just entered the Jindan late-stage cultivation level , There is an obvious improvement in strength.

Taking a step back, even if it is not suitable for these Jade Fire Spirit Fruits to be temporarily stored in the secret vault, it can be regarded as a way to enhance the foundation, and it can be regarded as a way for most sects that pay attention to the order of inheritance. A nice way to handle it.

"When will Xuanshuimen change the inheritance of the fire attribute? Could it be that you have abandoned all your own cultivation methods?" In front of the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion, an old man with a red body exuding scorching energy viciously scolded a nearby female cultivator.

"Treasures are virtuous. Jade Zhao Huo Lingguo is rare in a thousand years and is of extraordinary value. Xuanshuimen is naturally willing to buy it and use it as the foundation of the sect. The behavior of the Huoling Sect is becoming more and more domineering." The voice of the female cultivator Clear and pleasant to the ear, but unwilling to take half a step back, as if he was determined to win and his wisdom was in his hands.

The Huoling Sect and Xuanshuimen are two sects located in the south and north of the city respectively in Qiwu County, because the inheritance of skills is completely opposite, and they have always been the point of the needle.

Xuanshuimen is naturally based on water-attribute inheritance techniques, but it does not mean that there are no other inheritance techniques. In the cultivation world, every family and sect develops in multiple ways, so as not to encounter some disasters in the future, there is no one. room for relaxation.

Being able to occupy a quarter of the county respectively, the strength of the two sects is naturally second to none. They have two or three Yuanying ancestors sitting in the town respectively, and the leaders are all great monks in the late Yuanying period. The difference is almost the same, but the ability to confront each other forms a weird balance.

"Why do the two fellow Taoists care about everything here? All the natural materials and earthly treasures picked by the Juncheng have always been auctioned. Instead of provoking each other here, it is better to prepare a batch of top-grade treasures in advance. Lingshi" When he said this, the late Jindan cultivator had an even more determined look on his face.

It is said that this monk is the operator of a three-story store in Fang City. Relying on the special relationship with the Tianya Caravan, he can get some good quality treasures every year, and the most in his hands are top-grade spirit stones.

Zhao Shoushou bought almost all the elixir that Zhao Shoushou picked several times before at a high price, and these high-quality elixir immediately became a panacea, and he returned with several times the profit.

"High-grade spirit stones can only be exchanged for some treasures of ordinary quality. Real treasures can only be bartered. How can nouveau riche understand the mystery?"

The battle before the county guard's mansion was quite normal. After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Zhao Shoushou's figure had appeared, and more than ten monks stared straight at the jade shining lion on his back.

This third-tier high-grade monster, which had ruled over Qiwu County for decades, had a deep bone wound on its abdomen, and the real fatal wound was pierced straight from the neck and crushed the heart.

This kind of fatal injury cannot be easily achieved in battle. All the monks present are quite chicken thieves, and only when their strength has a sufficient advantage can they be killed in one blow.

"Fellow daoists, why wait here? Someone Zhao will naturally come to ask for advice." His performance has always been quite modest.

"Every time the governor makes a move, he will definitely not return empty-handed. Since we want to buy treasures, we can only wait in the governor's mansion to express our true feelings."

"The Prime Minister of the county has great strength and superb cultivation, he can be called a model for my generation"

"I don't know how to sell the spoils this time?"

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, some impatient monks have already returned to the topic, impatiently inquiring about how the treasures are sold, which is an important factor related to whether they are sure to get the treasures in their pockets in the future.

"Mr. Zhao has always been a high-grade spirit stone with black eyes and no white flowers. This time is no exception. The one with the highest price will get it." There was a hint of self-mockery in his tone, but the transaction method still did not appear to have changed in any way.

The third-tier top-grade Jade Fire Lion can occupy the mountains near Xiwu County and become the king, devouring monks as blood food, but it is still at ease. Its own strength is naturally the top existence in the same level.

Zhao Shoushou had been planning for several years this time, and he waited until the Yuzhaohuo Lion hunted the prey and suffered a certain trauma from the counterattack, and then killed it after a hard fight, the difficulty of which can be imagined.

The main reason for taking the risk to kill this powerful monster was to raise enough spirit stones to participate in the royal auction. How could he forget the main goal?

"There is still a drop of ten-thousand-year stalactite in Xuanshuimen, how about exchanging it for the body of Yuzhaohuo lion and Yuzhaohuo spiritual fruit?" The female cultivator of the Jindan late stage of Xuanshuimen was the first to express her sincerity.

Wannian stalactite is also a high-quality water-attribute natural material and earth treasure. If Zhao Shoushou refines it and practice it quietly for a period of time, he will be able to hit the ninth floor of the golden elixir.
