Chapter 453: Beast Attracting Pill
After a while, Wu Fan stopped in the market and looked around. There were quite a few monks here, with varying levels of cultivation.
Some came to sell monster materials, and some bought some supplies, such as elixirs, talismans, and some items for hunting sea beasts. Although the market was not big, the goods sold were quite complete.
Wu Fan wandered around for a while, and finally stopped in front of a shop.
This is a comprehensive store. The store is not big and has almost no decoration. It looks a bit shabby, but it sells a relatively complete range of things.
There was only an old man in the early stage of foundation building and a young man in the Qi refining stage in the shop. At this time, the old man was talking with a customer.
When Wu Fan walked in, the boy's eyes lit up and he hurriedly came up to him, bowed and clasped his fists and said:
"Senior, are you buying items or selling materials?"
"I'm here to buy something. May I ask, do you have a detailed map of the nearby sea area? I want the kind of map that marks a certain location where sea beasts often haunt."
Wu Fan directly explained the purpose of his visit. Although he bought a map from the Xingsha Guard, he found that the map only briefly mentioned which sea area has which kind of sea beasts, but where exactly the sea beasts are active But it was not mentioned.
In fact, Wu Fan also understands that sea beasts cannot stay in one place forever, and they will often change their nests, so the map needs to be updated frequently.
"Senior, the map in our store is the latest version. I will get it for you right now." After saying this, the boy ran towards the back.
After the boy left, Wu Fan had nothing to do and started looking around. At this time, the old man also dismissed the customers and walked towards Wu Fan with a smile.
"Fellow Taoist, this must be your first time coming to Hongshan Island, right?"
The old man looked at Wu Fan carefully, then cupped his hands and smiled.
"Well, it's indeed the first one."
Wu Fan nodded, and also cupped his hands and replied.
"Based on my fellow Taoist's cultivation, I guess I want to hunt down third- and fourth-level sea beasts. I wonder if you know anything about the sea beasts here?"
The old man smiled slightly and said something that made Wu Fan confused.
"What do you think the shopkeeper said?"
Wu Fan looked at the old man carefully and couldn't help but asked doubtfully.
"Haha, fellow Taoist, I don't know. Hunting sea beasts here also requires methods. Otherwise, I'm afraid that fellow Taoist may not be able to find the kind of sea beast you are looking for in a year."
The old man smiled mysteriously, as if he wanted to deliberately arouse Wu Fan's curiosity, and what he said made people feel unbearable.
This was indeed the case. Wu Fan became even more confused after hearing this, and then asked without thinking:
"Can the shopkeeper tell me what's going on?"
The old man guessed that Wu Fan would ask this question, and then said happily:
"Haha, it's like this. In this sea area, some high-level sea monsters will not often surface if there is nothing to attract them. You know, the area of the sea area is very huge. Even if the Taoist friend sinks to the bottom of the sea slowly, It is difficult to find it in a short time. Unless you are lucky and catch this kind of sea creature making waves on the sea, you can see it from a long distance. "
"Of course, I'm not talking about all types of sea beasts. In fact, there are many high-level sea beasts that often come to the sea and even land on some desert islands. Therefore, hunting sea beasts in this sea area is very dangerous."
"And the sea beasts that fellow Taoist is looking for may not appear often. If I guess correctly, the sea beasts that fellow daoist wants to hunt should be the "dragon fish beast", "red sea scorpion" and "spin turtle beast", right?"
The old man slowly told the whole story, and also guessed the sea beast that Wu Fan came here to hunt. However, his words obviously had other purposes. Otherwise, a businessman would not tell you this if there was no benefit.
Wu Fan also understood the meaning, and he was not sure that the old man was trying to persuade him to buy something. But having said that, if it really allowed him to hunt sea beasts quickly, then spending some spiritual stones would not matter.
As for the old man guessing the sea beast he wants to hunt, this is easy to understand, because these three sea beasts are the most numerous in this sea area, and everyone knows that the prices of the beast elixirs for these three sea beasts have increased.
Thinking of this, Wu Fan smiled slightly, nodded and said:
"What the shopkeeper said is true. We are here to hunt these three kinds of sea beasts. According to the shopkeeper, what should I use to lure the sea beasts out?"
The old man seemed to have prepared his words a long time ago. As soon as Wu Fan finished speaking, he immediately replied with a smile:
"I think fellow Taoists also know that the beast pills of these three sea beasts are indispensable materials for refining the "Xuanyu Pill", "Linghai Pill" and "Yuanzhu Pill".
"It is precisely because of this that after a long period of hunting, the number of these three sea beasts has gradually become scarce, and they seem to be afraid of being killed. They are rarely seen, so it becomes difficult to hunt them. stand up."
"There is something that fellow Taoists may not know. Thousands of years ago, three kinds of elixirs such as "Xuanyu Dan" were far less expensive than they are now. At that time, a bottle of elixir cost less than 10,000 spiritual stones. Now, it has increased to more than 30,000 bottles. In the final analysis, it is because these three monsters are difficult to find. "
"But in order to hunt them, the alchemist has successfully developed an elixir after so many years of exploration. This elixir is called "Animal Attraction Pill" and it is also developed based on these three kinds of sea beasts. It is easy to use. , as long as this elixir is thrown into the sea, the sea beasts will be attracted by the smell. "
"You know, sea beasts are different from demon beasts. As long as they are not descendants of ancient true spirits, their spiritual wisdom will not be opened until the seventh level, so they cannot bear this smell. And as long as we lure them out , it will become much easier to hunt them.”
"Haha, I have said so much. I believe fellow Taoists also understand. If fellow Taoists want this "Beast Attracting Pill", we have it in our store. One bottle is worth three thousand spiritual stones."
When the old man said this, he looked at Wu Fan with a smile and fell silent.
After Wu Fan heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He also knew that the alchemist did have this ability. You must know that the three kinds of elixirs were developed by the alchemist based on the animal elixir, and he could develop the "animal attracting elixir" This kind of elixir is not that unusual, but having said that, it is indeed a good way to hunt sea beasts.
Thinking of this, Wu Fan rolled his eyes, and then said with a serious expression:
"Shopkeeper, I can buy your "Beast Attracting Pill", but the ugly thing is ahead. If you lie to me, I won't let it go!"
The old man was startled when he heard this, but soon, a smile appeared on his face again, and then he cupped his hands and said:
"Fellow Taoist is joking. In fact, what I said is known to other fellow Taoists who come to hunt sea beasts. There is really no need for me to lie to you. Besides, my shop is right here, and fellow Taoists can find me at any time."
