Chapter Forty-Eight: The Secret Art of Domestication of the Elephant Tortoise Beast and the Ice Heart Lotus
"Now for the auction of the first lot of tonight, Xuanyin Sand. The starting price is one hundred and fifty spirit stones, and each increase shall not be less than ten spirit stones. ”
Li Xuangang stared blankly at the Xuanyin Sha on the auction table, he never thought that the things he had been looking for for so long would actually come across here.
So his mind began to come alive, and he silently calculated in his heart what he could take out now.
Then he was frustrated to find that almost all the savings he had saved in the family alchemy during this period of time were used to buy Uncle Seventeen's alchemy furnace and the demon beast essence blood for cultivating corpses, and now with the one hundred and thirty spirit stones that Li Xuankun had just given himself and the fifty spirit stones that the Ghoul Sect Alchemy Pavilion had given him, the total was less than two hundred spirit stones.
However, there are still a lot of Chunlu Pills on his body, but Li Xuangang immediately thought that these Chunlu Pills need to be used to pay for the cost of the sixth uncle to help him refine magic weapons, and the rest also needs to be used for his next cultivation, so after calculation, these Chunlu Pills can't be moved.
And although he could still refine a batch of Chunlu Dan in the Boundary Source Space, it was used by himself to prepare for breaking through the eighth layer of Qi Refining in the future, and he couldn't advance it in advance.
Soon this box of Xuanyin sand was carried to three hundred spirit stones, and when Li Xuangang heard this price, he had to choose to give up.
In the end, this box of Xuanyin Sand was bought by someone for 360 lower-grade spirit stones, and Li Xuangang estimated that if he was to refine an armor for refining corpses, it was estimated that he could only use half of this box of Xuanyin Sand, so that he would need to spend 180 lower-grade spirit stones.
In fact, there are now one hundred and eighty spirit stones on Li Xuangang's body, but the auction pavilion will definitely not auction these Xuanyin sand separately.
In the end, Li Xuangang still missed this batch of Xuanyin sand.
The first lot was successfully auctioned away, and the elder of the Ghoul Sect who presided over the auction seemed very happy, so he immediately motioned to the disciples of the Ghoul Sect who were standing under the stage to bring up the second lot.
This time, it turned out to be a second-order fox-type demon beast.
The elder of the Ghoul Sect, who was presiding over the auction, lifted the black cloth from the cage, and then said to everyone:
"The second-order high-grade demon beast phantom fox, the reserve price is two hundred spirit stones, and the price increase shall not be less than twenty spirit stones each time, if any Taoist friend has cultivated the beast control technique, this is a good choice. ”
Li Xuangang looked around the entire auction hall and found that everyone didn't seem to have much interest in this second-order high-grade phantom fox, although there were some whispers in the field, but no one was bidding.
In fact, Li Xuangang also understood the reason, generally monks who practiced the beast control technique would look for the hatchlings of demon beasts to cultivate, which was not only easy to control, but also easy to establish feelings.
At this time, the phantom fox used for auction on the stage was obviously already a mature body, even if it was a monk who was proficient in beast control techniques, it would take a lot of effort to completely subdue it.
Of course, this is only Li Xuangang's opinion, he has not practiced the magic of the beast.
In the eyes of those monks who had cultivated the Beast Guarding Technique, this Phantom Fox also had a fatal flaw, that is, it no longer had any cultivation value.
Judging from the state in which it was displayed, its condition was not very good, and it was already its limit to think that the second-order upper grade would have been in the future, and if it hadn't had any special chance, it would have been impossible to enter the ranks of third-order demon beasts.
Finally, after a brief silence, the elder of the Ghoul Sect, who was presiding over the auction, announced that the phantom fox had been auctioned.
And Li Xuangang turned his head to look at the seventh uncle sitting next to him, and found that he was still drinking tea leisurely, watching the auction process with interest, but he had no sense of bidding at all.
Seeing this, Li Xuangang had no choice but to wait here with him, and the auction below was still in full swing.
After the Phantom Fox was auctioned, the elder of the Ghoul Sect did not have anything abnormal, but calmly showed the rest of the lots one by one, which contained a lot of high-level resources, and Li Xuangang's eyes were very hot.
In particular, one of the third-order spirit plants Huiyang Wood was speculated by the major families at sky-high prices.
Even the seventh uncle also came up with a price, but his price was quickly refreshed by others, and when the price exceeded six hundred spirit stones, the seventh uncle Li Changzhi was not bidding.
After a while, I finally waited for the purpose of Uncle Seven's trip, which was a jade tube.
When this jade cylinder appeared, Li Xuangang found that the seventh uncle's body sat up straight, and his eyes stared at the jade cylinder and never left.
Just when Li Xuangang was curious about what this jade tube was, a voice came from the auction table.
"The secret technique of domesticating the tortoise beast starts at five hundred spirit stones, and the price increase must not be less than twenty pieces each time. ”
So it was, Li Xuangang kind of understood why the seventh uncle was so excited, if this thing was photographed by the family, it would have immeasurable value to the family's caravan trade.
The Elephant Tortoise Beast is a second-order demon beast, and the one with better talent can even break through to the third order.
For human monks, the biggest role of this monster beast is to transport goods, because the tortoise beast is large, has a broad back, and has a gentle temperament after being domesticated.
Li Xuangang had seen this kind of monster beast in the port of Binhaifang City, and according to Li Xuangang's estimate, a tortoise beast could carry at least five times as many goods as the earth horse beast.
Although raising tortoisemons requires more resources than raising pony beasts, such as growing specialized forage.
But compared to the role it plays for the family, this consumption of resources is nothing.
"Six hundred spirit stones. ”
Seventh uncle Li Changzhi made a bid.
But it was not only the Li family in Taiqiu Mountain who wanted this jade tube, after Li Changzhi made a bid, several more bids were made.
However, the seventh uncle, Li Changzhi, obviously has no intention of giving up like this, and he is constantly raising the price.
After several rounds of bidding, the domestication secret technique of this elephant tortoise beast has been raised to two thousand five hundred spirit stones, and it is the seventh uncle Li Changzhi who has made this price.
For this price, Li Xuangang is a little incomprehensible, although the tampering secret technique of the elephant tortoise beast is indeed precious, but it is not so valuable, after all, it is just a domestication secret technique, if there is no elephant tortoise beast, then this secret technique is useless.
And the point is that the number of tortoise beasts is scarce, and it is difficult to encounter them in ordinary times.
But this is the decision of the seventh uncle, and I think I have also discussed it with the eighth uncle Li Changji, who is in charge of the affairs of the family, so Li Xuangang suppressed the doubts in his heart and quietly watched the development of the situation.
Obviously, other people who were interested in buying this Giant Tortoise Beast Domestication Secret Technique were also hesitant, because if they didn't find the Giant Tortoise Beast, they didn't know how long this secret technique would be smashed in their hands.
Although more than 2,000 spirit stones are not a particularly high price, they are not a small amount, and every spirit stone in the family is hard-earned, so naturally they will not squander it like this.
In the end, Li Changzhi got his wish and bought this secret technique of domesticating the elephant tortoise beast with 2,500 lower grade spirit stones.
Li Changzhi, who had completed the purpose of this trip, was quite happy, and the smile on his face could not be suppressed.
Soon after, the special personnel of the Ghoul Sect sent this jade tube to the place where Li Changzhi was.
And the seventh uncle, Li Changzhi, paid the spirit stone happily.
Then Li Changzhi briefly observed the jade tube, and also invaded the divine sense to look at it, and finally he nodded with satisfaction and carefully put it into the storage bag.
After that, Li Xuangang saw that the seventh uncle was not interested in the next lots, and he had simply begun to close his eyes and recuperate.
Li Xuangang muttered in his heart, he didn't seem to be of any use this time, why did the seventh uncle have to pull him over.
In the second half of the night, the auction organized by the Ghoul Sect finally ended, and the seventh uncle, Li Changzhi, also opened his eyes and repaid attention to the situation in the hall.
At the end of the auction, the elder of the Ghoul Sect said:
"Thank you for your support, and as usual, you can exchange resources here, and you can leave after dawn, please feel free!"
After saying this, the elder of the Ghoul Sect walked down from the auction table, and then entered a passage in the back and disappeared.
And the seventh uncle also stood up and said to Li Xuangang:
"It's time to use you to your advantage, come with me. ”
Although Li Xuangang was still a little confused, he still got up and followed behind his seventh uncle Li Changzhi and walked towards the hall on the first floor together.
By the time the two of them arrived at the hall, there were already quite a few people in the hall who were already talking in twos and threes, and many of them were trading with each other.
Li Xuangang suddenly realized that after the auction of the Ghoul Sect ended, it would also provide a place for monks to exchange resources.
Just as Li Xuangang was thinking about what the seventh uncle wanted to do for himself, the seventh uncle had already said to him:
"Later, I will find someone to buy some spirit plant seeds, you are an alchemist, and I heard that your spirit plant is also good, so you can help me judge the quality of these seeds later. ”
Transmission of sound is a spell that only monks in the foundation building period, so Li Xuangang can only listen, and after listening, considering that the seventh uncle transmitted the sound to himself, he didn't want to be heard by outsiders, so Li Xuangang did not answer directly, but nodded and said that he knew.
Seeing that Li Xuangang understood what he meant, Li Changzhi relieved his heart, and then led him towards a strange foundation building monk in the corner.
Li Changzhi and Li Xuangang walked in front of this strange foundation building monk, and Li Changzhi looked at each other for a moment before saying:
"Excuse me, it's Xu Jinyuan, Xu Daoyou. ”
The foundation building monk looked at the two people who appeared in front of him with a calm face, and replied:
"It's here, I don't know what this fellow Daoist is looking for me?"
Hearing this answer, Li Changzhi confirmed that he had not recognized the wrong person.
He took it easy before he said:
"Daoyou don't see it strange, this time I have no choice but to disturb Daoyou, I heard Wu Xiaoqian Daoyou of the Ghoul Sect say that Daoyou has the seeds of Ice Heart Lotus for sale, and I am looking for this thing, so Wu Daoyou recommended Xu Daoyou to me. ”
The foundation building monk named Xu Jinyuan heard Li Changzhi's answer and lowered his guard a little. Said:
"Since you were introduced by Wu Daoyou, then I won't tell a lie, I do have a batch of Ice Heart Lotus seeds on my body, and I really want to sell them, but if the price of Daoyou can't satisfy me, then I may also disappoint Daoyou this time. ”
Li Changzhi pulled Li Xuangang to Xu Jinyuan's side, and vacated the position behind him for others to pass.
Only then did he reply:
"Don't worry, as long as you sincerely want to sell, then I will definitely offer a price that satisfies you. ”
Li Xuangang was next to him during the whole process, so he naturally heard it clearly, and he also knew what the Ice Heart Lotus was, this is a second-order spiritual plant, which has high requirements for the environment for growth, and its most important effect is to be one of the five auxiliary medicines of Zhuji Dan.
Just like the fire spirit ginseng that Li Xuangang planted in the boundary source space, the price of the two is also about the same.
But then, the seventh uncle and the foundation building monk named Xu Jinyuan began to communicate with each other, Li Xuangang didn't know what they were talking about, but Li Xuangang guessed that they should be discussing the price and so on.
After a while, the transmission between the two ended, Xu Jinyuan took out a cloth bag from the storage bag, and after Li Changzhi took it, he handed it to Li Xuangang.
Li Xuangang naturally understood, opened the cloth bag and began to check the color of the ice heart lotus seeds inside.
After some inspection, Li Xuangang found that there were a total of more than 130 Ice Heart Lotus seeds in this cloth bag, and each one was intact and full of vitality.
After repeatedly confirming that it was correct, Li Xuangang returned the cloth bag containing the Ice Heart Lotus seeds to the Seventh Uncle, and then nodded to him, indicating that there was no problem.
Seeing this, Li Changzhi turned his head to Xu Jinyuan and said:
"Thank you Xu Daoyou this time, as for the matter that Xu Daoyou asked, the refining pavilion of the Taiqiu Li family will look for me in the future. ”
After speaking, Li Changzhi put the seeds of the Ice Heart Lotus into the storage bag and handed over a pile of spirit stones to Xu Jinyuan.
After Xu Jinyuan accepted the spirit stone, he arched his hand to Li Changzhi and said:
"Then it will be troublesome for Li Daoyou. ”
Hearing the conversation between the two, Li Xuangang guessed that the seventh uncle and the other party should have reached some kind of deal, but as for what the deal was, he didn't hear it, so he didn't know.
After this incident, Li Changzhi took Li Xuangang back to his seat, and after dawn, the two walked out of the auction pavilion of the Ghoul Sect.
