Mountain and Water Layered Waves Formation, Black Tortoise Command
Kong Wenxuan and his third aunt Kong Yuyin, were both more skilled at fighting and combat than at conducting transactions.
However, with the Second Elder Kong Changlan having planned out the markets and shops for them to sell and set the minimum selling price, they didn't have to worry too much and successfully sold all the demon materials they had.
Even so, the three of them kept a close eye on the number of Demon Beast materials they sold each day, and it took them three days to process most of the monster materials they had.
Finally, on the third day, the three of them gathered again and sold the demon materials and half of the flesh and blood from the Third Tier green python Demon Beast at the "Pill Flame Ward" shop opened by the Bi Household.
Although selling these Third Tier Demon Beast materials in the Bi Household's shop would lower the price somewhat, it would undoubtedly be safer.
The Bi Household wouldn't risk their reputation for a mere Third Tier Demon Beast material.
Thus, all the demon materials brought to the county town were sold, totaling over 170,000 low-grade Spirit Stone, more than double the amount earned from selling Demon Beast materials in the county town last time.
This was partly due to the fact that they killed and harvested nearly two thousand First Tier- and Second Tier Demon Beast on the "Eastern Peak," which was almost twice the spoils they obtained at the "Demon-Suppressing Pass." However, the main reason was that the demonic materials and flesh of the Third Tier Azure Python Demon Beast were more complete, and they sold for a considerable amount of Spirit Stone.
With 170,000 low-grade Spirit Stone in hand, Second Elder Kong Changlan beamed with joy, counting them again and again.
However, these 170,000 low-grade Spirit Stone only passed through the hands of the three members of the Kong Household.
The next day, the three of them began to purchase various resources and items they needed in the city's markets and shops.
First, the clan leader, second elder, eldest uncle, second aunt, and third aunt, along with the various Second Tier five-element spiritual materials needed for the Foundation Establishment Realm to refine the "divine sword" and "talisman".
Although the Kong Household now possesses Second Tier Red Copper mine in the "Damaged Secret Realm," which can mine Second Tier metal elemental spiritual materials, the second alternative site they are about to explore can also mine Second Tier wood, water, and earth elemental spiritual materials for the clan leader and others to use in their cultivation.
However, mining these spiritual materials would take a considerable amount of time. Since there is no shortage of Spirit Stone now, it would be better to purchase some of the five elements spiritual materials first and give them to the clan leader, uncles, and others for cultivation. It would always be good to improve their cultivation and strength before the expansion operation.
Secondly, we need to purchase a formation, Third Tier treasure formation!
During their previous trip to the "Five Peaks" region, after witnessing the battle between Ya Zhaoying and the Third Tier Cuckoo Demon Race, as well as several Third Tier Demon Beast, the Kong Household realized that there were still many Third Tier beings deep in the southern mountains.
For the safety of the Lineage, it is still necessary to set up a Third Tier treasure array after expanding the territory to protect the Lineage territory and the county town.
The last time I came to the county town, the Spirit Stone I obtained from selling demon materials were not enough to buy various pills, artifacts, Third Tier, and array items. So I only bought a few Second Tier five-elemental spirit arrays.
Now that we have enough Spirit Stone, we naturally need to replenish these Third Tier treasure arrays.
After considering the terrain of the second alternative location, "Mountains and Waters Intertwined," Kong Wenxuan and his companions compared the Third Tier treasure formations of several shops and finally decided on the Third Tier treasure formation "Mountain and Water Layered Waves Formation."
This Third Tier treasure array needs to be set up in a place where mountains and water meet. Half of the array artifacts are placed in the mountains and the other half are placed in the water, which can maximize the use of the power of mountains and water. Its defensive power is among the Higher Vehicle in the Third Tier treasure arrays, and its offensive power is also at the average level of the Third Tier treasure arrays.
It can be said to be the most suitable second alternative location, with its terrain where mountains and water complement each other.
If there is any flaw in this "Mountain and Water Layered Waves Formation", it is that the entire formation only uses the power of the water and earth elements, and cannot fully utilize the advantages of the five elements that the Kong Household has cultivated and mastered.
However, for the Kong Household today, safety is of paramount importance.
This "Mountain and Water Layered Waves Formation" can maximize the advantages of the terrain and environment of the second alternative location, and has enough defensive capabilities to protect the territory pioneered by the Lineage, which is enough.
As for making the protective array for the Lineage more comprehensive, more compatible with the Lineage's cultivation and mastery of the five elements, and better able to unleash the Lineage's cultivation and mastery of power, that can be adjusted and changed gradually in the future.
In any case, as the Kong Household continues to develop and its strength increases, the formation protecting the Lineage territory will certainly not remain unchanged.
The purchase of a Third Tier treasure array ensured the safety and protection of the Lineage after expanding its territory.
Kong Wenxuan and his companions began preparing to purchase the remaining First Tier- and Second Tier pills, artifacts, talismans, and arrays they needed from various markets and wards throughout the county town.
These supplies included provisions for the upcoming war, as well as provisions for the continued cultivation of Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment cultivators.
They were several "tokens" of different colors and materials, each only the size of a palm, and each engraved with the image of the "Azure Dragon", "Vermilion Bird", "White Tiger" and "Black Tortoise".
Seemingly noticing Kong Wenxuan's interest, the shopkeeper, who had just traded a Third Tier treasure array with the Kong Household, immediately smiled and introduced, "These four kinds of ' Command ' were just purchased by our shop from the capital of Extended Net Moon Deer Prefecture."
"It is said to have been refined by cultivators from Second-Grade True Spirit Lineage: the Zhu Household Vermilion Bird (Zhu family), the Azure Dragon (Ao Household), the Bai Household White Tiger (Bai Lineage), and the Black Tortoise (Wu Household), using the power of their bloodlines. Its main purpose is to subdue and control various Demon Beast."
"For example, the ' Vermilion Bird Command ' can be used to subdue and control demonic birds, the ' Azure Dragon Command ' can be used to subdue and control scaled demonic Demon Beast, and the ' White Tiger Command ' can be used to subdue and control land-dwelling Demon Beast."
As Kong Wenxuan listened to the shopkeeper's introduction, his eyes lit up. He thought of the Third Tier Demon Beast, the Stone Disc Turtle, in the second alternative location.
If they could use this "Command" to subdue the Stone Disc Turtle instead of killing it outright, then after the Kong Household expanded their territory and built "Peacock County," they would undoubtedly have an additional Third Tier Beast for protection, which would greatly increase their safety and combat power!
He immediately asked, "If I want to subdue a Third Tier Stone Disc Turtle Demon Beast, what kind of ' Command ' should I use?"
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper knew that Kong Wenxuan intended to buy, and his smile became even brighter. He immediately introduced, "The Stone Disc Turtle is a turtle demon, belonging to the scaled Demon Beast type. It can be subdued and controlled using Third Tier ' Azure Dragon Command ' or Third Tier ' Black Tortoise Command '."
As the shopkeeper spoke, he took out two "Command" and handed them to Kong Wenxuan for inspection.
The two "Command" are cyan in color and engraved with Azure Dragon. The inside is imprinted with Third Tier Treasure Restriction, which is equivalent to a Third Tier Treasure Artifact.
The other one is black, with the image of Black Tortoise) carved on it; it is also a Third Tier Treasure Artifact.
How much is the price?
Kong Wenxuan examined the two "Command" and inquired.
"The prices are all the same," the shopkeeper immediately said with a smile. "The price of Third Tier Treasure Artifact- level ' Command ' is 30,000 low-grade Spirit Stone!"
"So expensive!" Kong Wenxuan couldn't help but ask in surprise upon hearing this.
They were already familiar with the approximate prices of various products in this "Bifang Commandery City". Generally speaking, the price of Third Tier Treasure Artifact is around 10,000 low-grade Spirit Stone; Third Tier Treasure Talisman are much cheaper, with a maximum of no more than 5,000 low-grade Spirit Stone; Third Tier pills and formations are more expensive, but will not exceed 20,000 low-grade Spirit Stone.
For example, the Third Tier treasure array "Mountain and Water Layered Waves Formation" that they just purchased only cost 19,800 low-grade Spirit Stone.
Unexpectedly, this "Command," which is also Third Tier Treasure Artifact, costs 30,000 low-grade Spirit Stone, a price that clearly far exceeds that of ordinary Third Tier Treasure Artifact.
"Where's the price!" the shopkeeper immediately replied, "You should know that these ' Command ' are all refined by cultivators from Second-Grade True Spirit Lineage, and they contain the bloodline power of Second-Grade True Spirit Lineage!"
"The cost of transporting these Command from the four royal courts alone is unknown."
"Moreover, this Third Tier Treasure Artifact, the ' Command,' can subdue and command Third Tier Demon Beast. Even the corpse of a Third Tier Demon Beast, with its various demonic materials, flesh, and bones, can be sold for around 100,000 low-grade Spirit Stone. How much more so a living, controllable Third Tier Demon Beast?"
"Shopkeeper!" At this moment, the Second Elder Kong Changlan, had already seen through Kong Wenxuan's meaning and immediately stepped forward to take over the conversation, saying, "Look, we've bought quite a few things from your shop, even a Third Tier treasure array. We'll take one of these ' Black Tortoise Command,' can you give us a discount?"
Seeing this, Kong Wenxuan did not interrupt. It was undoubtedly more appropriate to leave this transaction to the Second Elder Kong Changlan, to discuss.
Finally, after negotiating with the shopkeeper for nearly half an hour, the Second Elder managed to purchase a Third Tier "Black Tortoise Command" for 28,000 low-grade Spirit Stone.
The reason for choosing "Black Tortoise Command" instead of "Azure Dragon Command" is simply because the Black Tortoise Royal Court is located in the Northern Region, which is the farthest from their Vermilion Bird Southern Region, making it the least likely to cause any entanglement or other trouble.
