Chapter 5: Returning to the Market and Encountering Bai Hongjing
Red-tailed scorpion!
One of the most common monsters in the world of immortal cultivation.
The realm is low and the combat power is not strong.
The advantage lies in the huge number.
However, the mutated red-tailed scorpion's combat effectiveness and defense capabilities have been greatly improved.
It is even stronger than ordinary second-level monsters.
It is said that the Golden Butterfly Fairy of the Yuling Sect raised a mutated red-tailed scorpion.
His combat capability was actually comparable to that of an immortal cultivator in the late stage of foundation building.
It is extremely rare.
"interesting!"
Chen Xuan was secretly surprised.
With a casual wave of his hand, the mutated red-tailed scorpion appeared intimately beside Chen Xuan.
After a moment, Chen Xuan discovered that this mutated red-tailed scorpion was emitting a chill that made him feel frightened.
When Chen Xuan saw this, he immediately showed a look of sudden enlightenment.
"Could it be that the mutation of this red-tailed scorpion is related to the cold pool?"
If the cold pool really increases the probability of monster mutation, it would be a heaven-defying existence.
Only by mutating can monsters break free of their own shackles and become more powerful.
However, the probability of a monster mutating is extremely low.
Moreover, the stronger the bloodline of the monster, the lower the probability of mutation.
Although red-tailed scorpions are very common and their bloodlines are extremely ordinary, the probability of mutation is only one in millions.
However, among the four red-tailed scorpions fed by Chen Xuan, one mutated.
"The probability of this mutation is really very high!"
Thinking of this, Chen Xuan was suddenly overjoyed.
Suddenly I felt like I had found a smooth path to wealth.
"If I specialize in hatching monsters and selling them, it shouldn't be a problem to make money from spirit stones, right?"
Suppress the excitement in your heart.
After packing up, Chen Xuan quickly left the Beast Taming Tower and ran towards the West Street Market.
……
"Chen Xuan, did you get the elixir this time?"
Mrs. Liu, who was buying elixirs, saw Chen Xuan walking into the market again and greeted him warmly as usual.
Before Chen Xuan could speak, two young men in bright clothes appeared in front of Mrs. Liu's stall with cold and arrogant looks.
One of the tall men pointed at a hundred-year-old ginseng with an extremely cold and arrogant look.
"How much is this hundred-year-old figwort?"
Mrs. Liu looked at Chen Xuan with an apologetic smile and quickly greeted the tall man.
"It turns out to be Master Bai from the Divine Medicine Valley! If you want this hundred-year-old Scrophularia ningpoensis, it only costs one hundred low-grade spirit stones." Madam Liu said hurriedly.
"Poor mountains and bad waters give rise to unruly people! Knowing that Senior Brother Bai Hongjing is the immortal master of the Divine Medicine Valley, you still dare to ask for a random price? Ten low-grade spirit stones, I'll give you a favor!"
The short and fat young man who came with Bai Hongjing sneered and threw ten low-grade spirit stones at Madam Liu's feet.
Bai Hongjing looked cold and arrogant, his expression did not change at all.
Chen Xuan, who witnessed this scene with his own eyes, couldn't help but frown slightly.
The price of a hundred-year-old Scrophularia ningpoensis is at least over one hundred and twenty low-grade spirit stones.
Madam Liu only accepted one hundred low-grade spirit stones from Bai Hongjing, which was already very generous.
Unexpectedly, these two people from the Divine Medicine Valley would rely on their status to blatantly rob and rob.
How could Mrs. Liu dare to argue with Bai Hongjing and the others?
He quickly wrapped up the Scrophularia and handed it to Bai Hongjing, then he picked up the spirit stone on the ground with grievance.
Chen Xuan didn't say much. He picked up a spirit stone at his feet and handed it to Mrs. Liu.
Madam Liu took the spirit stone and waited until Bai Hongjing and the other two were far away before she quietly reminded Chen Xuan.
"Chen Xuan, be careful recently. These disciples of the Divine Medicine Valley... none of them are good!"
Chen Xuan nodded and walked towards the depths of the West Street Market.
Soon, Chen Xuan came to the stall selling golden-backed mantis eggs.
"A level 2 monster golden-backed mantis egg only costs five low-grade spirit stones... Sir, come and take a look?"
Although Chen Xuan was tempted, he quickly shook his head and walked past the stall.
Not long after, Chen Xuan saw the girl in blue skirt with whom he had traded last time.
"My fairy, we meet again!"
Chen Xuan greeted the girl in blue skirt with a smile.
The girl in the blue dress who was reading a book frowned slightly.
His clear eyes swept over Chen Xuan, and then he remembered Chen Xuan.
"You? Do you still need Lingya rice and red-tailed scorpion eggs this time?"
The girl in the blue dress looked expectant.
The red-tailed scorpion eggs and Lingya rice in her hands were not valuable at all.
No matter how much she sells, she will make a profit.
"Fairy, you are joking. I just want to ask you, do you accept spiritual beasts?" Chen Xuan said with a smile.
The girl in the blue dress looked confused.
The vigilant eyes looked at Chen Xuan carefully for a long time.
Seeing that Chen Xuan was only at the third level of Qi Refining, which was much lower than her eighth level, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"If you really have a spirit beast to sell, I will definitely not let you suffer a loss in terms of price."
The girl in the blue dress looked expectant.
The realm of the eighth level of Qi Refining!
Among the cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, it is not too bad.
If we could get some monsters to assist in the battle, that would naturally be a good thing.
What's more, the girl in the blue skirt is in urgent need of some means to improve her combat effectiveness recently.
Acquiring powerful spiritual beasts is one of the methods.
"Fairy, this is not the place to talk. How about we find a place to talk in detail?" Chen Xuan nodded.
"Okay, then let's go to the trading secret room in the market!"
The girl in the blue skirt looked delighted.
With a wave of his hand, he put away everything on the stall, and soon he and Chen Xuan came to the trading secret room in the West Street Market.
After handing over a low-grade spirit stone, the two men walked directly into an empty trading room.
"Fellow Daoist, you can take out your monster now." said the girl in blue skirt.
Chen Xuan's mind moved, and he released an ordinary adult red-tailed scorpion.
"Squeak!"
As soon as the red-tailed scorpion appeared, it let out a shrill scream and stared at the girl in the blue dress vigilantly.
"It's just an adult red-tailed scorpion. It won't be of much help to me."
The girl in the blue dress looked disappointed.
Chen Xuan was a little curious.
"The fairy is only at the eighth level of Qi Refining. Does that mean she needs a very powerful monster?"
The girl in the blue skirt glared at Chen Xuan unhappily before she began to explain.
"You are only at the third level of Qi Refining, and you are so old. You don't need to rush to participate in the Taixuan Mountain Ascension Conference. You will definitely not care about these things."
Chen Xuan became more and more curious.
"Fairy, what is this Taixuan Mountain Immortal Ascension Conference?"
"Haha, if you really want to know, then show your sincerity."
The girl in the blue skirt gave Chen Xuan a sly smile and was unwilling to say a single word about the Taixuan Mountain Ascension Conference.
Seeing that the girl in blue skirt was deliberately asking questions, Chen Xuan didn't say much.
With a thought, he released the mutated red-tailed scorpion.
call!
A cold breath suddenly emerged in the secret room.
Although this mutated red-tailed scorpion is only at the fourth level of Qi Refining.
But the icy aura it emanated shocked the girl in the blue skirt.
"Is this... a mutant red-tailed scorpion?"
Chen Xuan nodded calmly.
However, he secretly awakened the young Red-tailed Scorpion King to prevent the girl in the blue skirt from killing people and stealing treasures.
After a long time, the beautiful eyes of the girl in the blue skirt flickered several times before she gritted her teeth.
"How about three hundred low-grade spirit stones?"
Three hundred low-grade spirit stones!
For Chen Xuan now, it is definitely a huge amount of spirit stones.
When Chen Xuan heard the offer from the girl in blue skirt, his heart started beating fast.
However, Chen Xuan was also very clear that the value of a mutated monster far exceeded that of an ordinary monster.
Therefore, Chen Xuan did not intend to act so easily.
"Fairy, although the price of three hundred low-grade spirit stones is fair, it is not what I need!"
Chen Xuan shook his head.
After a pause, he continued, "If the fairy really wants this mutant red-tailed scorpion, then show your true sincerity!"
When the girl in the blue skirt heard this, a trace of struggle flashed in her beautiful eyes.
Soon, she looked at Chen Xuan and said, "If that's the case, then I'll use this thing in exchange. What do you think, fellow Taoist?"
As soon as the girl in the blue dress finished speaking, a ray of golden light suddenly appeared in her hand.
The terrifying aura emanating from it made Chen Xuan tremble with fear.
