Chapter 11: The Age of Discovery, Cultivating Immortals
Chapter 11
"Childe, why are you here?"
Qiu Lanpei walked out of the jewelry store and saw Zhuang Yisheng standing there, carrying a few flatbreads in his hands.
"Eat something first, haven't you eaten all along?" Zhuang Yisheng said.
As soon as Zhuang Yisheng said this, Qiu Lanpei felt hungry. This must have been brought by Zhuang Yisheng from the Wutong faction, and now he is so poor that he doesn't have a penny.
"Childe, we have money, 100,000 taels. Qiu Lanpei sighed: "It's only 100,000 taels." ”
In one day, I completed the super task of one hundred and eighty rings and got a reward of 100,000 taels, which is a lot, but it is not enough to open a mine.
"Don't be afraid, I still have a plan. ”
Zhuang Yisheng took Qiu Lanpei to the central square market in the city.
This is a huge trading center, where you can buy weapons, cultivation cheats, elixirs, slaves, mature monsters...... Anything you can think of, you can buy here – as long as you have the money.
In the end, the footsteps of the two stopped in front of a shop that traded demon beasts, called the Spirit Beast Hall.
"Childe, are you going to buy demon beast eggs?" Qiu Lanpei suddenly understood.
Zhuang Yisheng nodded.
"It's still not necessary, nine out of ten bets are lost, and our money is not easy to come by. ”
Qiu Lanpei thought about it, in fact, it was not so difficult to come, but it was just a little tired. But if she earns 100,000 taels a day, she must have died laughing if she was tired to death.
Zhuang Yisheng walked into the Hundred Beast Hall, which sold both demon beasts and unhatched demon beast eggs.
There were many people like Zhuang Yisheng, who surrounded the counter, staring at the spirit beast eggs, revealing greedy eyes.
The shopkeeper glanced at Zhuang Yisheng, and looked aside disdainfully, another delusional person who dreamed of getting rich overnight.
This continent is called Xuanzhou, and since the divine apocalypse came eight hundred years ago, mankind has entered a vigorous era of cultivating immortals.
Immortal cultivators went deep into the barren land and brought back all kinds of fairy grasses, gems, elixirs, and monster eggs...... This is the era of the vigorous "Great Voyage" in the world of cultivating immortals.
In the process, many monster eggs that have not yet hatched are brought back and traded in the human world.
However, because the era of cultivating immortals had just opened for eight hundred years, human beings still had very little understanding of demon beasts.
Before hatching, no one knows what's in the egg. Some can't hatch at all, some hatch out waste, and some monster eggs may even hatch fierce beasts that can't be tamed.
Similarly, if you can hatch a spirit beast that can be tamed, it will naturally double its value and become rich overnight.
Therefore, many shops will take out these beast eggs for auction, buy the right one, turn it ashore, buy it wrong, and the family will be ruined.
Nine out of ten bets are lost, and most people still end up losing their money.
That's why Qiu Lanpei dissuaded Zhuang Yisheng, after all, 100,000 taels of silver is a lot.
At dusk, there was a gong in the Hundred Beast Hall, and the guys took out one after another demon beast eggs from the back hall, each one the size of a human head.
Many people rushed up, holding silver tickets in their hands, and said, "I want this, I want this......"
The shopkeeper had a face: "Quiet, quiet, whoever is noisy again, go out from here, we will not sell it to you." ”
The crowd then fell silent.
The shopkeeper cleared his throat and said: "According to the old rules before, each egg is sold for 10,000 taels, and if there are many people who like the same one, the auction will begin, and the one with the highest price will win." ”
"After you buy it, you can incubate it with the help of our store, or you can take it back and incubate it yourself. ”
"Once sold, no return or exchange, do you understand?"
Next to the shopkeeper, four strong men appeared, staring at everyone fiercely.
If anyone buys the wrong one, shouts here, and wants to die or live, the Hundred Beasts Hall will not eat this set.
Seeing that no one around was talking anymore, the shopkeeper waved his hand and signaled that it was time to start.
Activities like this are held almost once a month.
Before they were put up for auction, those who had already been seen by the Hundred Beast Hall and who were really likely to hatch high-grade demon beasts were all picked up. So what came out were some rags that the Hundred Beasts Hall couldn't look at.
Otherwise, if you want to buy a demon beast egg for 10,000 taels of silver, what do you want.
Each egg is numbered and lined up on the counter, making for hundreds.
"I want A. 1. ”
Someone couldn't wait to choose one, and one guy put away the silver ticket and said, "Is it hatching here?"
The other party nodded vigorously.
A green-robed man dressed in a long robe appeared, his name was Lin Zhiyang, who was specially hired by the Hundred Beasts Hall to hatch beast eggs.
He put the green-skinned beast egg in front of him, and his palms were secretly lucky, and a red halo gradually appeared on a pair of fleshy palms.
Clapping his hands on the eggs, rubbing slowly.
Everyone's eyes were cast on it, and their mood was raised.
The owner of the beast egg clenched his fists even more, and said viciously: "It will definitely be opened, it will definitely be opened." ”
Click.
The egg cracked open in the middle, revealing a pool of blood inside.
"It's gone. Lin Zhiyang said calmly.
The man's eyes were wide open, and his pupils were dilated: "No, it can't be like this, is it that you broke it for me." ”
"I knew that the Hundred Beast Hall was harmful to people and broke my spirit beast eggs, and I was going to the court to sue you. ”
Lin Zhiyang waved his hand calmly: "Carry it out." ”
"Give me back the money, boss, this is the money I paid to sell my wife. ”
Two strong men slapped him on the head, and he fainted directly, and was grabbed by the neck and thrown outside.
This kind of thing, the Hundred Beasts Hall has seen a lot, and it has become a daily routine.
"Hey, I'll just say that No. 1 can't be opened, no one believes it. ”
"Gambling on eggs is such a thing, you have to have vision and financial resources, thinking that anyone can play it. A dwarf said, "I want the second number C." ”
When someone buys it, they go to Lin Zhiyang to hatch, and Lin Zhiyang charges a certain commission for each piece.
One after another, most of them were waste eggs that couldn't open anything, sometimes it was a pool of blood, sometimes it was a puff of black smoke.
"I want Ding Seven. "A goate.
"Lin Xianren, help me open it. "Goatee Nonsense.
A small eye next to him said, "Third brother, can you open this inside?"
"Don't worry, I feel like I'm in touch with this egg. "Goatee Nonsense.
Not everyone can take out 10,000 taels of silver, this goatee and little eyes are partners, they contribute a part of each other's money, earn an equal share, and bear it together if they lose.
Lin Zhiyang was already a little tired, so he took a sip of tea and put it on the beast egg.
A moment later, there was a click, and a hole was pecked through the eggshell, revealing a small head.
Everyone's eyes lit up, something is better than nothing, even if it's a waste spirit beast.
The listless shopkeeper came over and said, "This should be a colorful monkey, it belongs to a medium-grade spirit animal, and my Hundred Beast Hall is willing to pay 300,000 taels to buy it." ”
The little eyes said excitedly: "Three hundred thousand taels, third brother, we have made a fortune." ”
"Yes, I'm rich. Goatehu said: "Brother, borrow your three thousand taels and pay you back immediately, don't worry, I will never treat my brother badly." ”
