After Li Xiao's careful investigation, he found that the survival rate of these beast eggs was much higher than he expected.

This came as a surprise to him. If there is such a high survival rate, then the possibility of these eggs hatching in the end will be greatly improved. And the quality of the finished product will be higher than the ordinary.

It didn't just make him think of a possibility. Thinking of this, Li Xiao's eyes lit up. It's just that on the surface, he doesn't move. Instead, slowly open the third box.

The third box was the smallest of them all, and the only one made of metal.

The moment the box was opened, a fragrant smell came to the face. At the same time, there is a strong sense of mystery.

When he felt this, Li Xiao's first reaction was that there was a living thing here.

However, when he saw the contents of the box thoroughly, he couldn't help but show a trace of astonishment.

Lying flat in the tin box was a three-inch long sapling with three withered yellow leaves, which looked to have completely died.

Looking at this sapling, Li Xiao asked in surprise, "Can you tell me what this is? Why is it so powerful to breathe life even though it is dead?"

Lianqin shook her head and said, "Don't hide it from fellow Daoists, in fact, I don't know what this is." He's been like this since he got him. ”

"I've asked a lot of people, and even a few master-level alchemists, but still no one knows where he came from. ”

"I have tried many ways to treat him, but they have failed. And after doing experiments for so long, the only conclusion that has been drawn is that if you put it in an iron box, its vitality will not be lost. ”

"This time I came here to see if any Taoist friends could know about it. ”

Hearing him say this, Li Xiao shook his head in disappointment. Then he asked, "Where did you find this?"

Lianqin pointed to the beast egg next to her and said, "This thing was found along with this group of Yin Ice Snake eggs. The little tree was in the middle of the group of small snakes. That's why I've kept her so precious. ”

"Daoist friends should also see that this group of Yin Ice Snakes has a high survival rate. I guess it has something to do with this little sapling. ”

Hearing him say this, Li Xiao asked curiously: "So, since he can improve the survival rate of these beast eggs, then Daoyou can hatch these beast eggs by himself." In that case, the benefits of the Taoist will not be more. Why are these eggs being sold? ”

Lianqin seemed to have known that Li Xiao would ask such a question, so she replied with a wry smile: "It's not a secret, but when I found these beast eggs, I really thought about hatching them myself." ”

"But it's been ten years since I got them. But they still showed no signs of hatching. Even if it is just born, it will not take so long to hatch. ”

"I've tried, countless ways, and even put them and the dead tree back in their original form. But the results are still the same. ”

Hearing him say this, Li Xiao couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

At this moment, there was a vibration in Li Xiao's demon beast bag, as if something wanted to come out.

Li Xiao was stunned for a moment, and waved his hand to open the demon beast bag. I saw a fiery red figure with a length of a zhang flashing out of it and landing on Li Xiao's side.

This fiery red figure that is one person tall and more than a foot long is the little corgi who has followed Li Xiao for many years.

It's just that he has now become an adult big dog, and the aura on his body has reached the level of a tenth-level demon beast. The red and white flames on his body are even more gorgeous.

Seeing this corgi that was suddenly released by Li Xiao, Lianqin's eyes couldn't help but light up. Without thinking about it, he said directly: "What a beautiful fire spirit, whether Daoyou are willing to see him sell it to Zaixia, the price is easy to say." ”

Li Xiao frowned, but he was soon relieved. He knew that this was a common problem among the Spirit people. There is no resistance to beautiful things.

So, Li Xiao shook his head. Said: "I'm really sorry, he's my partner, and he doesn't sell." I believe that if you change to a Taoist friend, it should be the same. ”

Lianqin smiled and said: "Daoyou is serious, everything in the world has a price, but the difference between high price and low price. But now that it's here, I don't want to sell it, and I'm not reluctant to do it. ”

It's just that when he said this, his eyes were still fixed on the corgi.

While the two were discussing. As if he had not heard, his two little eyes gazed greedily at the withered sapling on the table, as if he had seen a delicacy.

The cute little nose kept sniffing the scent of the saplings, and there was a look of great enjoyment on her face.

Looking at the little corgi's expression, Li Xiao said with some embarrassment: "This little friend of mine seems to like your dead branch." I don't know if it's okay, but sell it to the next. ”

Hearing Li Xiao say this, Lianqin smiled and said, "This thing is not intended to be sold." ”

Li Xiao said: "But Daoyou just said that everything has a price, it's just a matter of high and low. The reason why he is reluctant to sell Corgi is because he is a partner in Zaixia's mind. The price of betraying your partner is too high, and Daoyou may not be able to afford it. ”

Lianqin didn't expect to use her own words to squeeze herself. I couldn't help but have a hint of astonishment on my face.

Just as he was about to say something, he found that little Corgi was looking at him with an aggrieved face. For a moment, a trace of unbearability flashed in my heart. In the end, I could only smile helplessly.

said: "In that case, I will not say anything more. If you can come up with an item that satisfies me, then this dead tree will be given to you. ”

Hearing him say this, Li Xiao smiled and touched Corgi's head. Then he asked, "I don't know what Daoist friends want?"

Lianqin didn't shirk either, and said directly: "This time, when I came here, I actually wanted to change some refining materials to create a spiritual weapon." ”

"The other materials are easy to say, but there are four of them, and some of them are missing. ”

Speaking of which, four very precious refining materials were exposed in a row, and each of these four materials was a material needed to refine a Xuan-level spiritual weapon. And they are relatively high-grade materials,

Li Xiao actually has these materials. It was obtained when he disassembled the refining materials. But naturally he won't take it all out.

So he said, "I just had a little left of the Star Refining Stone when I was refining the spirit weapon before. But if you exchange it for a dead sapling that you don't know what it does. I don't think it's worth it. ”

As he spoke, he took out a fist-sized stone, which was pitch black and transparent, and was full of stones like stars.

Originally, he just had the attitude of giving it a try, but he didn't expect Li Xiao to really have one of these four materials, and Lianqin was a little overjoyed.

At the same time, he himself knew that it was indeed unrealistic to exchange this dead sapling for a Star Refining Stone. Therefore, as soon as Li Xiao said this, he replied directly: "Since Daoist friends are willing to exchange the Star Refining Stone with him, then if Daoist friends can see a few things here, they will take them." If I don't have anything to look at, I still have a few more materials. ”

As he spoke, he took out four or five more materials, most of which were refining materials. There is also an alchemy material.

Just as Li Xiao was about to choose the materials, Corgi suddenly touched Li Xiao. Then he whined at the box of eggs.

Seeing this, Li Xiao smiled and touched its head. said: "Okay, I'm satisfied." ”

Then, Li Xiao said to Lianqin: "You also saw it, and there was no way to ask him." Then I'll choose this box of ice snake eggs and this geranium vine. ”

As he spoke, he handed over the Star Refining Stone. When the other party saw this, his heart was happy. Without hesitation, he handed over the things selected by Li Xiao.

After completing the transaction, after the two exchanged a few words, Lianqin said goodbye and left.

After watching him leave, Li Xiao took the corgi into the practice room, and after opening the guard, he exhaled.

Looking at the corgi who put down the dead sapling and the yin ice snake, he looked smug to himself. Li Xiao smiled.

"Okay, got it. I know you're doing well this time. Here's the benefit for you. As he spoke, a crimson fireball was thrown at him.

Little Corgi swallowed the fireball with a happy face. But instead of leaving, it spoke, "What is that little sapling above that life breath that makes me feel so comfortable? actually asked me to cooperate with you to deceive him. ”

It turned out that the little corgi had learned to speak a long time ago, but he didn't show it in front of others.

Li Xiao smiled and replied, "The origin of this sapling is not ordinary. His name is the Tree of the Cycle of Life and Death. ”

"He's not like any other tree. As other trees grow, they grow stronger in their lives. And he is just the opposite, he is going to die from the beginning. And it will continue to exude vitality. ”

"Like the man before, imprisoning his life force and not allowing it to radiate will only prevent him from growing. ”

And he will only be reborn after he has emitted all his energy and turned the bottom of the side into a dead sapling. ”

"Wait until he's reborn from the bottom. ”
