Dragon-Shaking Art Fragment, Unknown Seeds
Xu Changqing slowly departed from the Sword Pavilion aboard the Giant Flying Sword.
Upon reaching a safe distance and altitude, it immediately began to vibrate, instantly transforming into a golden streak of light that pierced through the thousand-meter-long sky.
Just then...
A sharp cry of a crane came from behind.
Everyone on the Giant Flying Sword simultaneously felt a heavy, oppressive pressure.
Xu Changqing and the people around him reacted in unison, all turning their heads to look behind them.
Suddenly, a huge flying crane appeared in his pupils.
The wingspan should exceed twenty meters.
It was surrounded by one round bubble after another.
On the back of the flying crane stood a young man with a cold and stern face.
The other person was wearing the white casual clothes that only formal disciple wear.
Soon, the flying crane transformed into a massive shadow, enveloping Xu Changqing and the others.
"Isn't this Crane Seven?"
"Then the person on its back must be Chu Qiu!"
"Good heavens, its speed is even faster than Giant Flying Sword that has an array and is powered by Spirit Stone!"
As they got closer, everyone could finally see the person and the crane clearly.
Feihe ranks seventh in the Beast Spirit Valley.
Everyone calls him Crane Seven.
It is a thousand-year-old spirit beast with extremely strong power.
And the one it recognized as its master was naturally Chu Qiu, the number one person in the Beast Spirit Valley.
Fortunately, neither Crane Seven nor Chu Qiu were actually passing by.
I only glanced at them as I passed by, nothing more.
The oppressive pressure only subsided after the man and the crane departed.
Everyone was able to catch their breath.
"As expected of a thousand-year-old spirit beast, its oppressive aura is truly strong." Xu Changqing's expression changed slightly.
He had inquired about it with Hu Bugui.
In the Beast Spirit Valley, only the most powerful spirit beasts are ranked.
The Crane Nineteen I saw earlier, as its name suggests, is ranked nineteenth.
The Crane Seven who just flashed by is one of the top ten most powerful beings in the entire Beast Spirit Valley.
Fortunately, this was just a minor incident.
Nothing unexpected happened in the following period.
An hour later, they finally saw Dongqing City and the enormous Dongqing Tree.
Xu Changqing didn't go to [Fragrant Invitation Pavilion] this time, but instead chose an inn at random.
Then they took off the white robes of the Dongting Immortal Sect and put on ordinary black clothes.
Then he put on a fake mustache, and his whole demeanor immediately became more composed and mature.
He looked like an old, Rogue Cultivator who had weathered many years of trials.
Such people are commonplace throughout Dongqing City, appearing utterly unremarkable.
Only then did Xu Changqing leave the inn.
Although he had arrived at the Rogue Cultivator Market, he did not immediately notify the Sun Clan.
Instead, they went to each Spirit Rice Grain trading point to inquire about the current market share.
Not much different from the last time I came; the ratio of Second-Grade Spirit Rice is still 1:1.3.
One Low-Grade Spirit Stone can be exchanged for 1.3 jin of second-grade Quality-Grade Spirit Rice.
As for First-Grade Spirit Rice, the current ratio is 1:6.
In other words, one Low-Grade Spirit Stone can be exchanged for six catties of first-grade Quality-Grade Spirit Rice.
Regardless of whether it's first-grade or Second-Grade Spirit Rice, as long as the quality reaches the highest level...
Basically, there's no market for it; you simply can't buy it.
Once the Spirit Rice Grain reaches the highest grade, it is basically monopolized by the owner of this Rogue Cultivator Market, namely the Golden Core True Person Wang, and rarely flows out.
For Rogue Cultivator, the rarer the daily resources, the less willing they are to share them.
Unlike top-tier Immortal Sect and Lineage, they do not have sufficient resources to back them up.
To put it bluntly, Rogue Cultivator are all a bit petty.
There's not enough for myself, how could I possibly share with others?
Xu Changqing obtained 800 jin of First-Grade Spirit Rice after killing Zhang Er and his men here last time.
As for quality, all of them are of excellent quality.
Next, he sold them in batches from the three Spirit Rice Grain trading houses.
A total of 114 Low-Grade Spirit Stone were obtained.
Then he swaggered towards the auction house.
Last time I came here, I bought a [Greenwood Water-Dividing Hoe] here.
I wonder if anything new has come up in the past few months.
When I came in, I found that it really was there.
Earth Grade Law Technique [Dragon-Shaking Art], one page.
Yes, that's right.
It's just one of those pages.
However, the starting bid was a whopping 50 Mid-Grade Spirit Stone.
Many Rogue Cultivator even came specifically for this item.
I'll offer 60 Mid-Grade Spirit Stone!
"This Dragon-Shaking Art is an exclusive Cultivation Method for earth cultivators. I'll offer 70 Mid-Grade Spirit Stone!"
"100 Mid-Grade Spirit Stone! I'm Wang He from the Third Demon-Hunting Squad. Please give me some face!"
It was quickly snapped up by people, with over a hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stone going for it.
Even so, there were still quite a few people bidding.
"Someone wants even a single page?" Xu Changqing raised an eyebrow.
He might be interested if it were an incomplete piece.
But if it's only one page, then all that's left is curiosity.
After all, the fragments can be deduced to be complete with the help of the system.
This page, with no beginning or end, who knows if it can even Initiation?
In the end, everyone gave Wang He of the Third Demon-Hunting Squad some face.
Offer the other party 300 Mid-Grade Spirit Stone to acquire the incomplete page of the [Dragon-Shaking Art].
At this moment, the man hosting the auction spoke up, "I believe everyone remembers that a few months ago in the Black Forest, a 500-year-old [Rolling Earth Dragon] emerged from the ground, right?"
"Of course!" someone quickly responded.
Wang He, especially, from the Third Demon-Hunting Squad, had a very serious expression.
Because they were involved in the hunt at the time, and suffered heavy casualties.
Xu Changqing estimated the time and realized it was the day he first came to the Rogue Cultivator Market.
Then, the host continued, "This item contains the five undigested Spirit Plant seeds from the stomach of the Rolling Earth Dragon!"
This statement surprised many people.
Xu Changqing became even more interested.
As a Wood Spirit Root Spirit Farmer, farming is his greatest hobby.
Since the seed was not digested in the stomach of the five-hundred-year- Greater Demon, it shows that it has strong vitality.
"Five seeds of unknown species of Spirit Plant. The starting bid is 20 Mid-Grade Spirit Stone, and each bid must be at least 1 Mid-Grade Spirit Stone!" The host announced the start of the bidding.
At this point, someone stood up and asked, "Excuse me, host, is it that no one has identified these seeds, or has their origin still been unknown even after identification?"
The host replied, "We sought out the most professional Spirit Farmer to identify it, but because the seeds were severely corroded, no one knew what kind of Spirit Plant it was."
Xu Changqing immediately understood.
If it were something else, how could it possibly end up in an auction house?
Clearly, the five unidentified seeds were put up for auction because nobody wanted them.
If someone buys it, the seller behind the scenes doesn't lose money either.
No one is buying them, and they're not in a hurry to cultivate them.
It's a sure thing, you can't lose money.
"If it's an unknown entity, the risk is quite high."
"It wasn't even digested in the stomach of Greater Demon; it's definitely not simple!"
"I'm interested in collecting them; 21 Mid-Grade Spirit Stone!"
Immediately, people began to bid.
Compared to the excitement surrounding the fragments of the [Dragon-Shaking Art] earlier, this was quite a spectacle.
Not many people participated this time; there were no more than ten in total.
Most of them were driven by curiosity.
The further along the bidding process goes, the fewer people participate.
Xu Changqing wasn't in a hurry. Only after 31 Mid-Grade Spirit Stone and a long period without any bidding did he announce loudly, "33 Mid-Grade Spirit Stone!!!"
