A Deal Comes Knocking
Chirp~
The leading second-level black bird reacted sharply and instinctively stopped at the moment the killing array was launched.
It screamed angrily, and a black cloud of light erupted from its body, shaking away the surrounding Water Killing Wave.
Heiyu With one stroke, more than a dozen arc-light feather blades cut in all directions.
There were a few slashes towards Lan Chang'an and Mystic Water Turtle, and more towards the illusory blue moon above.
"Not stupid."
Lan Chang'an asked Guan Qiaozhi to retreat to the cave, and offered the best Law Artifact [Diamond Bell] that he had purchased at Yellow Dragon Immortal City.
The five-foot-long Golden Bell flew over the pool and turned into a large bell several feet wide. It condensed into a translucent golden shield to help Mystic Water Turtle block the attack.
In fact, it's just a show.
Second-Order Monster Beast's slight attack could not hurt Mystic Water Turtle who was retracted into the turtle shell.
Dang! Weng!
Lan Chang'an Law Power of Foundation Establishment Middle Stage injected [Diamond Bell], and the roaring sound wave light pattern shook the second-order black bird trying to break the formation and leave.
The second-order black bird swayed in the sky, bleeding from its mouth and nose, and its speed was greatly reduced.
[Diamond Bell] In addition to defending and trapping enemies, it can also activate sound waves to shake Qi and Blood and shock the mind.
Squeak!
A muscular orange-yellow Rat Demon flew out of the cave.
The sharp claws glowed with a dull yellow light and chopped off the head of the second-order black bird.
Lan Chang'an stopped and prepared to respond Law Technique.
The difficulty of the monster bird lies in its high mobility. It is difficult for the ordinary Foundation Establishment Middle Stage to kill this second-level early stage bird.
With the help of Small Turtle Peak's formation, Lan Chang'an can deal with late second-level Demon Beast using only superficial conventional means.
Decades ago, Black Mist Mountain Range's Heavenly Moon Wolf could only reach the late second-order level with the increase of the full moon.
The materials of Second-Order Monster Beast have been processed.
That night, Lan Chang'an had an extra meal and had a feast of demonic birds.
Ye Fei from Small Pill Peak, invited to come and enjoy.
"The scale of Daoist Lu and Beast Tide exceeds expectations. Will there be a small group of Demon Beast coming to kill?"
After having enough wine and food, Ye Fei wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth and sounded slightly worried.
Demon Beast has a strong constitution, and the effect of poison spells will be much worse.
He doesn't want to find a piece of Spirit Vein Dao Field that suits his heart, only to be ravaged by Demon Beast.
"I can't tell."
Lan Chang'an shook his head and said.
"Wuqi Mountain is some distance away from the front line. As long as it is not a big Beast Tide, the real threat will not be these Demon Beast."
Even if a small group of Demon Beast came to kill him, he thought he could advance and retreat freely.
On Small Turtle Peak, there are spiritual herbs planted by Lan Chang'an for decades.
This opportunity to make a fortune in silence would not make him give up this place and run away.
Half Moon Empress.
Lan Chang'an The person who was expected to deliver the materials has arrived.
The first one is Beast Taming Zhou Family.
The monk Foundation Establishment who represents the cooperation is a middle-aged and elegant scholar, who is exactly the Zhou Jingxuan whom he had talked with at Yellow Dragon Immortal City.
Zhou Jingxuan Foundation Establishment Middle Stage is cultivated, with a few strands of Chinese hair on his temples, and is much older than Lan Chang'an.
"We haven't seen each other for many years. Daoist Lu has made further progress in his cultivation. He is indeed an inspirational example of a late bloomer."
During this meeting, Lan Chang'an's changes in cultivation made Zhou Jingxuan feel complicated and have mixed emotions.
Decades ago, Foundation Establishment Early Stage came to Bamboo Leaf Mountain to participate in the auction. Lan Chang'an was still an unknown Qi Refining Mid-Stage Talisman Master.
Unknowingly, this person made steady progress step by step, and actually tied him.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou praised me. Lu was just lucky and didn't suffer from the bottleneck. He was promoted to Foundation Establishment Middle Stage when he was over a hundred years old. He is extremely mediocre."
Lan Chang'an smiled and said modestly.
The reason why Zhou Jingxuan was caught up by him was not because Lan Chang'an practiced quickly.
But the dilemma faced by most Foundation Establishment Realm is that it is difficult to advance to the later realms throughout their lives.
Zhou Jingxuan stayed in Foundation Establishment Middle Stage for dozens of years.
Inside the cave, the host and guest were seated.
"Is the noble Miss Zhou fighting on the front line against Demon Beast?"
During the chat, Lan Chang'an mentioned Zhou Qingxuan.
"That's right. Qingxuan's role in guarding the clan is much greater than that of my uncle."
Zhou Jingxuan seems self-deprecating, but his tone contains pride and praise.
"Miss Zhou's beast-control talent can really play a big role in Beast Tide."
Lan Chang'an is also a compliment.
He couldn't help but think that Zhou Qingxuan had gained a lot from the Azure Underworld Secret Realm and had some great opportunities.
Later, I learned from Zhou Jingxuan: Zhou Qingxuan has experienced Beast Tide's training and was recently promoted to Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
Lan Chang'an couldn't help but be moved.
I estimated my age and found that Zhou Qingxuan is about twenty years younger than me.
"Foundation Establishment Late Stage who is under ninety years old."
Lan Chang'an couldn't help but have a higher evaluation of this woman.
The sect elites such as Zhao Siyao and Zhang Tieshan only set the goal of Foundation Establishment Late Stage before they are 100 years old, and have the hope of the Golden Core Realm in the future.
Zhang Tieshan has a strong will, and it is suspected that fortuitous opportunity is with him. Azure Underworld Secret Realm has also made great gains, and is close to achieving his goal.
Zhao Siyao was promoted to Foundation Establishment Late Stage in the past two years. He is over 100 years old and has not reached his goal.
Of course, Zhao Siyao and Zhang Tieshan are not the top geniuses of the sect.
Liang Kingdom Several major sects all have Earth Spiritual Root geniuses.
It is not ruled out that there is a hidden Heavenly Spiritual Root.
Blazing Fire Palace The contemporary Nascent Soul True Lord is monk Heavenly Spiritual Root.
If Zhou Qingxuan progressed like this, Lan Chang'an would feel abnormal if it were normal.
However, this woman participated in the Azure Underworld Secret Realm, obtained fortuitous opportunity, and was tempered by Beast Tide. She was able to be promoted to Foundation Establishment Late Stage so smoothly, which is a trace.
"Daoist Lu, can you eat this batch of materials from Zhou?"
Zhou Jingxuan took out a few Storage Bag and placed them on the table.
Lan Chang'an probed one by one, showing surprise.
These Storage Bag are filled with Demon Beast materials suitable for drawing symbols.
In fact, before Beast Tide, the cooperation between Lan Chang'an and Zhou Family gradually decreased.
Because, Zhou Family invited Second-Order Talisman Master to worship him a few years ago, and the new generation also cultivated Talisman Master talents.
However, there are too many materials harvested in Beast Tide, which is difficult for this family to digest.
Beast Tide The pressure is too great to stock up.
Demon Beast materials must be converted into Spirit Stone immediately to obtain combat readiness resources such as elixirs, Talisman, Law Artifact.
Fighting against Beast Tide, subsidizing tribesmen, and recruiting monks all require a huge amount of Spirit Stone and combat readiness resources.
"Lu only needs the second-order Talisman material."
Lan Chang'an looked embarrassed.
Among these Storage Bag, most are first-order Demon Beast materials.
"The price can be lower and sold with excellent second-grade Talisman material."
Zhou Jingxuan added.
After some haggling, the two negotiated a deal worth tens of thousands Spirit Stone.
Lan Chang'an uses the market price of Spirit Stone and second-order Talisman to purchase the first-order Demon Beast material and the relatively cheap Second-Order Monster Beast material at a low price from the Zhou Family.
Among them, the first-level materials are mainly medium and high-grade, and the price is only half of that before Beast Tide.
Second-level materials are mainly medium and low-grade materials. Low-grade materials are discounted by 30%, medium-grade materials are discounted by 20%, and high-grade materials are discounted by 10%.
During Beast Tide, these materials will not reduce the price of Talisman.
The current market situation is: abundant materials, insufficient craftsmen, Talisman is consumed quickly, and the supply exceeds demand.
The amount of this transaction was very large. Lan Chang'an proposed to do it in two parts, saying that during the period, it would be cashed out through drawing symbols.
Zhou Jingxuan was expected and readily agreed.
In fact, Lan Chang'an's current Spirit Stone reserve can be easily eaten in one sitting.
After the first transaction, Zhou Jingxuan left in a hurry without staying.
Fly out Small Turtle Peak.
Wuqi Mountain Outside, a dark-skinned old man with a strong build and a fierce face came face to face.
"Elder Zhou." Zheng Wugong said with a smile on his face and cupped his hands.
Back then, before Bamboo Leaf Mountain Zheng Family was destroyed, he had a good relationship with the Beast Taming Zhou Family and once married his clan daughter to the Zhou Family as his concubine.
Zheng Wugong also knew Zhou Jingxuan. After being promoted to Foundation Establishment, he visited Beast Taming Zhou Family but was dismissed casually.
"It turns out to be Brother Zheng." Zhou Jingxuan simply responded, passing by without stopping.
Zheng Wugong, who was left out in the cold, was not dissatisfied.
He flew to Small Turtle Peak and after reporting, he was allowed to enter.
In the cave, facing Foundation Establishment Middle Stage's Lan Chang'an, Zheng Wugong appeared more respectful than before.
After exchanging pleasantries, Zheng Wugong tentatively said:
"Zhou Jingxuan can come to visit you in person. Daoist Lu made a big deal with the Beast Taming Zhou Family?"
"Just some Demon Beast material for drawing symbols."
Lan Chang'an didn't mention it much.
His cooperation with the Beast Taming Zhou Family over the years cannot be hidden from anyone who cares.
"What a coincidence. Zheng has some Second-Order Monster Beast leather in his hand. Are you interested in Daoist Lu?"
Zheng Wugong smiled, the scars on his face were squeezed together, which was a bit scary.
"Second-Order Monster Beast leather? How does Brother Zheng want to trade."
For the second-order Talisman material, Lan Chang'an naturally does not reject it.
"It is best to trade with the second-order Talisman. It is better to have the second-order Mid-Grade Talisman. Zheng can give a lower price."
Zheng Wugong presents a Storage Bag.
"Second-order Talisman? I heard someone say that Zheng Family" asked "a Second-Order Talisman Master to help draw the talisman."
Lan Chang'an's tone was teasing.
Zheng Wugong smiled awkwardly and sighed:
"Oh, that bastard, barely counted as Second-Order Talisman Master, his skills are terrible! He wasted a lot of good materials from Mr. Zheng."
The bastard he mentioned was naturally Chen Sheng.
In the past two years, Zheng Wugong and Chen Sheng had a dispute of interests involving disputed industries near the original land of Lineage.
Zheng Wugong removed one leg of Chen Sheng.
Afterwards, no one spoke up for Chen Sheng, while Fairy Shi only said to keep one alive.
Zheng Wugong is ready to find an opportunity to destroy Chen Sheng's cultivation.
Chen Sheng is not stupid, he hid outside for a while.
Until Beast Tide comes, Talisman is in short supply and Talisman Master is very popular.
Chen Sheng wanted to go out to buy some Talisman materials and take the opportunity to earn some Spirit Stone, but was caught by Zheng Wugong.
In order to protect himself, Chen Sheng endured hardships and worked as a coolie for the Zheng Family.
However, the Chen Sheng symbol art has been abandoned for a long time. There is no problem in drawing First-Order Talisman. However, the success rate and quality of drawing the second-level Talisman are appalling.
"Second-Order Talisman Master is a rare talent. Brother Zheng needs to take good care of this person in the house."
Lan Chang'an kindly said.
"Zheng understands." Zheng Wugong laughed.
In the subsequent transaction, Lan Chang'an traded with second-order Talisman, mainly second-order inferior products. Second-Order Middle-Grade only gave one piece on the pretext that it was bought by the Zhou Family.
The second-grade animal skins purchased from Zheng Wugong are slightly cheaper than those from the Zhou Family.
Where did the material come from? Lan Chang'an didn't ask in detail.
Zheng Family is currently located at the Iron Apricot Villa, located on the east side of Wuqi Mountain, closer to Yellow Dragon Immortal City.
Zheng Wugong obtains Demon Beast materials, which can be purchased from Yellow Dragon Immortal City, or you can personally participate in hunting Demon Beast.
Even if you kill people and grab treasures on the road, you have a high probability of getting Demon Beast material.
Lan Chang'an was moved and asked Zheng Wugong about the specific situation of Yellow Dragon Immortal City and frontline Beast Tide.
Zheng Wugong is extremely sensitive to information and knows everything about Yellow Dragon Immortal City.
In Beast Tide, which city wall has been breached, and who of Yellow Dragon Mountain's direct descendants died in battle, all can be said clearly.
Lan Chang'an suddenly discovered that Zheng Wugong was of some use to him.
He doesn't want to leave Wuqi Mountain and go to Yellow Dragon Immortal City to take risks. At the same time, he must beware of Kong Mao and the gangsters who come to attack Wuqi Mountain.
There just happens to be a lack of ears, eyes and errands around me.
