Practice begins with a fisherman

For example, some first-tier mid-high-grade flying monsters, because they inadvertently broke into his territory, chased him for a whole hundred miles, and continued to attack Zhao Shoushou with excrement. inevitable.

It has been nearly ten months since we set off from the desert oasis, and all the hard work has finally paid off today.

"As expected of one of the top ten sects in the cultivation world, it's just a subordinate city, and it was actually built on top of a third-order low-grade spiritual vein." The abundant spiritual power that came to him was Zhao Shoushou's first and deepest feeling. feel.

The pillars carved with five large characters in Yushoumenfang City were carved with second-grade middle-grade mithril, and the end was extremely luxurious, which made a bumpkin like him who had never seen the world jealous.

Of course, the biggest feature of this place is that there are shops selling all kinds of tameable cubs or unhatched egg shells almost everywhere in Fang City.

Spiritual beasts, which are rare to see on weekdays, can be seen almost everywhere in this place, and the price is slightly lower than other markets.

As for the money turtle that Zhao Shoushou was worried about before, although not every shop sells it here, it is definitely not a rare item.

Since the shops here are able to sell them with great fanfare, they naturally have the approval of Yushoumen, so there is no need to worry too much about this aspect. The largest supplier of spirit beasts here is Yushoumen.

"Do you want to fly freely in the imperial sky? Do you want to experience the magic of rapid progress? Our store has a new second-order low-grade Xintian Harrier egg"

"The ones that run on the ground, those that fly in the sky, and those that swim in the water. They have a complete range of functions and functions. Seniors must not miss them."

"The first level is upper middle and lower level, the second level is middle and lower level, you can choose from various spirit beasts"

"The new store is open, all kinds of spirit beasts are on sale at a [-]% discount"

Compared with the various talisman seals, elixir, array flags, spiritual weapons and other different practice resources sold in other square cities, more than two-thirds of the shops here are all kinds of spirit beasts or spirit beasts. related treasures.

The spirit animal bag is naturally one of them. Zhao Shoushou had wanted it many times before but couldn't, but he can buy it here, but the price is slightly higher.

There is even a spirit beast tower that is more advanced than the spirit beast bag here, but its high price is prohibitive, and of course its effect is beyond doubt.

"There are so many types of spirit beasts, it's really dazzling." Zhao Shoushou sighed and walked in the depths, but he never made a purchase, including several shops that also had money turtles.

In fact, spirit beasts are the same as monks, and monsters of the same type that look exactly the same also have different qualifications. Since the goal of this trip is to cultivate Taoist soldiers, it is natural to choose some excellent qualifications that have a certain value for cultivation.

"As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, and spirit beasts with truly excellent qualifications will naturally not appear in the shops randomly selected by these classes." Zhao Shoushou murmured for a while, and then walked firmly to some big shops in Fangshi. .

Chapter 243 Purple Backed Money Turtle

The aptitude of the spirit beast is related to its future development potential. If you look for some spirit beasts that can be used as cannon fodder and can be sacrificed at any time, the price is naturally cheap, and the large number of peripheral spirit beasts has more advantages.

However, Zhao Shoushou's purpose is obviously not like this. What he wants is some Taoist soldiers that can be cultivated for a long time. Naturally, he needs some spirit beasts with good qualifications and certain development potential.

Of course, these are not owned by some mobile shops in the periphery that shout loudly and attract customers. Of course, among the huge number, Zhao Shoushou does not deny that there is a certain possibility of picking up mistakes, but unfortunately he does not think he has such a vision. Spirit beasts whose aptitude is above the horizontal line.

About a quarter of an hour later, a wide and quiet road that is completely opposite to the previous one appeared in front of you. This place is dominated by tall, upright, and strangely shaped shops. There are no solicitations from peddlers one after another. The sound is in sharp contrast with the outside which is close at hand, like two different worlds.

Of course, this doesn't mean that there are few monks here, it's just that the monks who come and go seem to have already determined their goals, going in and out of different shops.

Perhaps because of the high price, the monks who come here are generally relatively high-level monks. Basically, they are mainly foundation-building monks, and occasionally there are one or two late-stage Qi training monks.

What is completely different from these local monks is that when Zhao Shoushou first came here, he did not have a clear understanding of the strength of the major shops. Of course, this did not become an existence that hindered his progress.

Generally speaking, the shops located in the center of Fangfang are basically the most powerful, and this is also not a problem for Yushoumenfang City.

"The Royal Beast Pavilion, is it possible that it is a shop affiliated to the Royal Beast Gate?" Looking at a carved dragon and painted phoenix, the decoration is unique, and there are various exquisite monsters carved on it, which occupies an area far larger than other shops. , Zhao Shoushou couldn't help sighing, the light in his eyes is also indispensable.

If his guess is correct, there is absolutely no problem with the spirit beasts sold in the shops here, and all of them have been approved by the overlord Yushoumen here.

In this way, at least in terms of safety, there would be no hidden dangers. Zhao Shoushou didn't want to be killed for some unknown reason one day.

"What Mr. Zhao needs is not a top-notch spirit beast. Although the first-order top-grade money turtle is precious, it is not considered a unique species. It's just that there are a lot of them here." Zhao Shoushou settled down, no longer hesitated and strode step into it.

In fact, Yushoumen doesn't pay too much attention to the money turtle. Although this kind of spirit beast has various good attributes, but limited by its qualifications and development potential, it is only a first-order spirit beast in the end, even if one or two of them can be promoted by luck. The number of Tier [-] is also rare, and it will not affect the overall situation.

"Welcome to the Royal Beast Pavilion, what are the needs of the seniors? Whether it is spirit beasts or related treasures, the Royal Beast Pavilion can meet your needs." A seemingly polite person actually has no pride in his heart. ways to overcome and eliminate.

The Qi-refining period monks acting as shop assistants here are all disciples of the Beast Sect, and it is also a kind of experience that the sect gives them. Of course, they mainly focus on the middle and early stages of Qi training.

However, thanks to the status of Yushoumen in the realm of comprehension, each of these monks has their eyes above the top. If Zhao Shoushou was not a monk in the foundation establishment period, the performance might have been more obvious.

Zhao Shoushou naturally didn't care about these things, he cared more about how true the words spoken by the disciples of the Beast Sect were.

In addition to the money turtle, the purpose of this trip also requires a second-tier low-grade spirit beast bag and a second-tier low-grade large formation to protect the desert oasis. It would be great if they can be purchased in one stop.

"Mr. Zhao has also heard the name of the Royal Beast Pavilion for a long time. This time, he came here admiringly from a long distance. I don't know if there are baby turtle eggs in your pavilion?"

This is also a test of the strength of the Beast Pavilion. In addition, from the qualifications of the spirit beasts it provides, it can be judged how much the Beast Gate supports the Beast Pavilion.

"Senior used money turtles to cultivate Dao soldiers. His eyes are as bright as torches. Although their grades are not high, once they are successfully cultivated, they will be able to face an early foundation-building monk in the future. I don't know what kind of money turtles seniors need?" The disciples of the Beast Sect are indeed well-informed, and they are also very clear about Zhao Shoushou's purpose.

"Zhao doesn't know much about spirit beasts. Could you introduce me?" Zhao Shoushou didn't seem to care about the dignity of the so-called foundation-building stage monks at all, and asked a small cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training without shame.

"Since the senior wants to know the difference, the junior and others will naturally know everything without saying anything, so please be polite." Xiaoxiu, who had always been a little proud, seemed to be encountering this kind of situation for the first time, so he looked a little nervous.

Afterwards, under his detailed explanation, a picture of subdivided types of spirit beasts like the money turtle gradually formed in his mind.

The money turtle that the monks have passed down is actually just a general term, which is also the reason why the common money turtle species dominates.

The most common money tortoise in Yushoumen is called Huangze money tortoise, and most of them are produced in the secret territory of Jinlin that Zhao Shoushou once sneaked into.

According to the different colors of the money tortoise, there are green money tortoise, Akasawa money tortoise, Qingze money tortoise, etc., and their qualifications are slightly higher.

However, according to Xiaoxiu's introduction, among all the money turtles, the most precious one is called "Purple Back Money Turtle". This is a special mutant spirit turtle. The chance of giving birth is about one in ten.

Under normal circumstances, these purple-backed money turtles are naturally digested internally and will not be sold, but Zhao Shoushou is lucky. Yushoumen was extremely lucky in this breeding process, which caused its production to more than double, adhering to the principle of equal benefit , before selling a fraction of it.

Of course, its price is undoubtedly expensive, which is why it has not been sold out yet, but Zhao Shoushou's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"What is the price of the purple-backed money turtle? Is there a limit on the quantity?" This was the first question Zhao Shoushou asked, and it was also what he was most concerned about.

If the number is too scarce, it obviously doesn't make much sense for him who is trying to cultivate Dao soldiers, so he can only retreat and choose some species with relatively inferior qualifications.

"Senior, don't worry, the number of purple-backed money turtles is sufficient at present, and they can be supplied in sufficient quantities. The price of each young egg is ten middle-grade spirit stones." Xiaoxiu's words were astonishing.

Ten middle-grade spirit stones are equivalent to 1000 yuan of low-grade spirit stones. The spirit beasts purchased are only first-level top-grade spirit beasts, and they will need to invest a lot of resources in the future to support them.

The original plan to buy about a hundred money turtles is obviously going to be greatly discounted.

Chapter 244 First Heard of the Foundation Establishment Auction

The 1000 yuan mid-grade spirit stone was far beyond what Zhao Shoushou could afford. Of course, if he exhausted all means, he could get enough, but it wasn't worth paying such a huge price.

After all, the other two goals of this trip also need to consume a lot of spirit stones, and they are all treasures that cannot be given up, namely the spirit beast bag and a suitable defensive formation.

"I don't know, senior, how many purple-backed money turtles do you want to buy?" Little Xiu in the Qi refining period, who was acting as the waiter in the Yushou Pavilion, had an expectant look on his face.

There are many benefits for him to complete such a large-scale transaction as soon as possible. If the daily turnover exceeds a certain amount, there will be additional rewards.

This kind of task that is both safe and possible to earn spirit stones is actually very sought-after in the Beast Guarding Pavilion, and it takes a lot of spirit stones to get it every time.

Therefore, for Zhao Shoushou, a monk in the Foundation Establishment period who might make a big deal, these disciples of the Beast Sect with high eyesight also resolutely give up their so-called dignity.

"Each egg of the purple-backed money turtle is priced at ten middle-grade spirit stones, which is really expensive. I wonder if there is some discount in the Guige?" Zhao Shoushou asked tentatively.

The answer is obviously no. All the resources that have the opportunity to be discounted in the cultivation world are popular and mass-produced resources. For precious treasures, the price is always high and non-negotiable.

"Senior, please forgive me, the price of ten middle-grade spirit stones for the eggs of the purple-backed golden turtle is determined by the sect." Xiaoxiu of the Qi Refining Period replied very affirmatively, without any room for negotiation.

"Forget it, since that's the case, just prepare fifty young eggs of the purple-backed money turtle." After some calculations, Zhao Shoushou squeezed out 500 yuan of middle-grade spirit stones with great heartache.

Most of these spirit stones were contributed by the alchemist who fell in the Golden Core Cave. This mysterious monk was "unselfish" and directly filled Zhao Shoushou's storage bag.

Otherwise, according to the situation where he has been unable to make ends meet, where can he get the Lingshi to buy such expensive eggs of the purple-backed money turtle?

An important reason why the price of the purple-backed money turtle is so high is that the possibility of these little guys being promoted to the second rank in the future is as high as [-]%.

This also means that as long as they are bred well in the future, at least fifteen of the fifty purple-backed money turtle eggs can be promoted to second-order spirit beasts. Of course, this goal will not be achieved for a while.

But in the future, it will be a force that cannot be ignored. The most important point is that the cultivation of these purple-backed money turtles does not need to consume too many resources. The only requirement is sufficient blood and spiritual power.

Generally speaking, this is a high-quality, low-cost spirit beast with good development potential, which is why Zhao Shoushou bought [-] of them at a high price.

"I don't know if senior has other needs?" A deal with a large amount of money was concluded, and the Qi Refining Period Xiaoxiu who acted as the waiter in the shop asked expectantly.

"Has there ever been a Tier [-] spirit beast bag and a Tier [-] formation plate for sale in the Yu Beast Pavilion?" Zhao Shoushou, who had originally planned to buy them all at once, naturally asked in detail.

"Naturally there are second-tier low-grade spirit beast bags, and they are from the hands of the beast master of the beast gate. Each piece has quality assurance, but the second-tier array disk is temporarily out of stock due to the upcoming foundation-building auction." Qi Refining Qi Xiaoxiu explained tirelessly, but Zhao Shoushou was delighted by a piece of information he inadvertently revealed.

The foundation-building auction is naturally a large-scale auction specially organized for the foundation-building monks, which is undoubtedly attractive to him.

Since he was promoted to Foundation Establishment, he spent most of his time behind closed doors. Except for a small transaction belonging to the Sailing Club, he never had the opportunity to participate in a real high-quality auction. Since he encountered this time, he naturally couldn't give up.

"About the auction, would you like to introduce one or two in detail?" Along with the words, he handed out a bottle of the remaining first-order high-grade panacea.

No matter where it comes from, the more panaceas that can be used to improve one's cultivation must be the better. What's more, what he inquired about was not a secret, and there was no reason to refuse it.

"Senior, you are welcome. The Foundation Establishment Conference is organized by the elders of the sect. It is held every ten years. All the auction items are second-tier treasures suitable for the Foundation Establishment. It is currently at the end of preparations. After one month It will officially begin." After getting the elixir, the minor cultivation during the Qi refining period can be said to know everything without saying anything.

"The scale of the auction organized by Yushoumen is naturally grand, but I don't know if there are any requirements for the participants?" Zhao Shoushou asked with an attitude of breaking the casserole.

"Senior, don't worry, as long as you are a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage, you can participate." The Qi Refining Stage Minor Cultivator is quite sure of this point.

In fact, the auction held every ten years will also be a channel for the Royal Beast Sect to attract casual cultivators during the foundation establishment period. As for the hidden meaning of this point, this little cultivator is obviously not clear about the fact that he is restricted by his cultivation.

The Yushoumen family has a big business, and there are quite a few foundation-building monks trained by themselves, but they are not enough to use after all. In addition, there will always be a lot of fall due to various reasons every year. Every ten years, some foundation-building monks will be recruited. .

Of course, these foundation-building monks who were born as casual cultivators, even if they join them, they will only get the position of a so-called guest minister. Except for some due offerings every year, the salary is not too high, and all kinds of dangerous tasks are performed by them. Finish it first, and only after passing the so-called trial period will you have a chance to get the approval of the Beast Sect. This process is not easy.

Regardless of whether he understood the deep meaning or not, these were insignificant to Zhao Shoushou. His main purpose was to buy some useful treasures and improve his combat effectiveness while he had some spirit stones on him.

"Senior, you only need to provide enough spiritual power for fifty purple-backed golden turtle eggs, and they will surely hatch within a month. You just need to leave a mark of mana on them." Xiaoxiu during the Qi refining period provided a black temporary storage The spirit animal bag only has one chance to use it, so it is not considered a high-end treasure.

After a stick of incense, money and goods were settled, Zhao Shoushou walked out of the gate of the Beast Pavilion refreshed, and his next goal was naturally to observe the auction site in a month's time.

Before the auction officially started, he still needed to raise some spirit stones. Although he had some second-order spiritual materials and medicines on him, there were not many spirit stones left.

"If there is a chance, I will definitely buy a second-tier low-grade water-attribute spiritual weapon with common attributes at the auction," Zhao Shoushou said in a low voice.

At present, he has two spiritual weapons on his body, namely the semi-spiritual weapon lancet and the second-rank low-grade sour wood bow. In the previous battles against the enemy, he has made great achievements.

The only awkward thing is that the current two spirit weapons are not of the water attribute, which leads to their profound skills and many advantages that cannot be brought into play, especially in evenly matched battles.

Chapter 245

Among the same ranks of water attribute skills, they were not known for their strong combat effectiveness, not to mention that the "Condensing Water Jue" practiced by Zhao Shoushou paid more attention to the cultivation of the foundation of monks, and it was especially obvious on this point.

This exercise inherited from ancient times focuses more on the future development of monks, and its effect is very different from the current mainstream exercises. Perhaps it is because in ancient times, monks in the foundation building stage had just stepped into the door of practice.

Maybe it will be beneficial to the future condensing golden core, but it is obviously not good for his survival in the cultivation world. If you want to improve this point, you can only work hard on external forces. The most obvious effect is undoubtedly a suitable spiritual weapon.

For Zhao Shoushou, who was born as a casual cultivator, it was really not easy to find a second-level low-grade spiritual weapon. On the contrary, for these big sects with stable inheritance, it was just easy to find. Perhaps only magic weapons suitable for the golden core stage are eligible get their attention.

The only thing to worry about is whether there will be water attribute spirit artifacts as auction items in the auction of the beast gate, which is not certain.

The auction of Yushoumen is completely different from other auction houses that specialize in auctions. All the treasures are from Yushoumen, and they will not raise treasures from outside at all. This is also a manifestation of the sect's heritage.

It is precisely because of this that in order to ensure the mystery and attractiveness of the auction, all treasures are kept strictly confidential before the official start, and there is no way for the outside world to inquire.

"Even if there is no suitable spiritual weapon, other treasures still exist, so I won't return empty-handed." After comforting himself, Zhao Shoushou began to prepare to sell some spiritual materials in exchange for spiritual stones.

Among them, the first choice is naturally five kinds of precious second-order mid-low-grade spiritual materials obtained from the utility room of Jindan Cave Mansion. The goal is to collect 1000 yuan of middle-grade spiritual stones, plus the remaining 500 yuan in the storage bag is enough.

The price of a normal second-tier low-grade water attribute spirit weapon is about 200 yuan for mid-grade spirit stones, and the second-tier low-grade spirit beast bag is slightly more expensive at about 400 yuan for mid-grade spirit stones. The most valuable ones are naturally prepared to be used in desert oases The array flag, and because of the different types, the current price cannot be estimated, it is about 700 yuan for middle-grade spirit stones.

It is obviously not an easy task to raise 1000 yuan of middle-grade spirit stones outside the original plan. For most monks in the foundation period, this is not a small sum. If this auction is not too important, Zhao Shoushou must be reluctant .

Presumably, after this auction, even if he can successfully achieve the goal, his net worth will be ten to seven or eight. Basically, most of the treasures obtained in the Jindan Cave Mansion are sold, and he can only choose some treasures for future benefits.

There is still more than a month before the opening of the auction, so there is no need to worry about dealing with the treasures. Before the Yushoumen Auction starts, there will definitely be a large number of small transactions taking the opportunity to start, the purpose is just to make a quick profit.

Naturally, the quality of these small auctions cannot be compared with that of Yushoumen. It is also an opportunity to broaden one's horizons, and Zhao Shoushou is also very interested.

On top of these small auctions, the price of dealing with some second-order spiritual materials must be higher than the purchase price of major shops, which is also a blessing for him.

As time passed, outside the auction venue, some impatient monks had begun to set up stalls to sell some treasures prepared in advance.

These monks came from all over the place, the furthest one was even outside the Great Tang Dynasty, and all of them came here for their fame. For a while, the special treasures from all over the place became the most popular treasures in this unknown temporary booth.

The pearls that are full of aura from the far eastern sea area can assist in cultivation, the unique green horns on the prairie that are born with a touch of lightning power, and the strange Gu insects that are famous for domesticating various poisonous insects from the southern mountains. The day can be described as very lively.

Seeing this situation, Yushoumen didn't stop it, but only sent one or two foundation-building monks to patrol. Perhaps it was because of this encouraging and tacit attitude that Yushoumen's auction became famous.

Out of curiosity, Zhao Shoushou also chose some rare treasures to buy, among which the pearls in the Eastern Sea were the most suitable for him.

Each of these pearls is priced at one medium-grade spirit stone, but the spiritual power contained in it is far more than one medium-grade spirit stone, and its purity is quite high.

If it weren't for the fact that most of the overseas monks mainly exist on large and small spirit islands, and they are not jealous of spirit stones, they would not sell them at such a cheap price.

"It's a pretty good treasure, but it's a pity that I only had time to buy five, and the quantity is a bit scarce." Zhao Shoushou looked very regretful.

But then put it behind his mind, whether these pearls are five or ten, they are just a small thing to him, and now he is still most concerned about the upcoming auction of the Royal Beast Gate.

During this period of time, Zhao Shoushou participated in more than ten auctions of various sizes, basically sold out all the second-order treasures in the storage bag except for the spirit stones, and obtained a huge sum of 100 yuan for middle-grade spirit stones.
