Chapter 5 Spirit Stone
The Green Armor Storm Bear is a monster beast that lives in the mountain cliff and river area, likes to eat honey brewed by Jufeng, and will also hunt fish and other creatures in the river, has a wide range of diets, and likes to attack humans.
In terms of strength alone, even a third-order cultivator is not its opponent, and a fourth-order cultivator fighting hard with it is also a very irrational behavior, and this beast is vicious and arrogant, not afraid of pain, and its combat effectiveness will be even higher after seeing blood, which is a nightmare for middle and low-level cultivators.
However, due to his slow action and low intelligence, he was classified as a third-order high-level, and as long as he used traps, the third-order intermediate level actually had the power to fight.
It is covered in bristles and carapaces, and ordinary swords can't cut through its fur at all, and if a weapon of poor quality collides with the carapace, the force of the countershock will shatter it, but because of this, it is also one of the best sources of basic materials for armor and spirit cloth.
There is no talent such as water control and fire control, but because the power of counterattack when attacking it is sometimes beyond imagination, it is completely unreasonable, so it is guessed that its talent is resonance or resonance, or shock or something.
Anyway, this is a powerful demon beast, a demon beast that has nothing to do with Kurokawa's current strength - and maybe his appearance - at all!
Everyone watched Kurokawa keep taking out fur, carapace and bear bones from the package, and then put it at the front desk for the personnel of the Kejin Pavilion to collect and evaluate, and the discussion that could only be regarded as a private whisper became louder and louder, and their eyes looked at Kurokawa more and more puzzled.
Even a fourth-order cultivator would have a hard time dealing with it, and a third-order cultivator could only guarantee that a fierce beast could escape, how could a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy be able to kill it? This is completely unreasonable, and it can even be said that this is impossible!
What's more, Kurokawa now looks a little more tender than the average fifteen or sixteen-year-old boyβwhich deepens everyone's confusion.
If it had been before, there would never have been such doubts.
Feeling the distrust, surprise, and suspicion in the eyes around him, Kurokawa couldn't help but shake his head and began to miss the past.
At that time, although his body was not fully grown, he was seven or eight feet tall, and his face was not fierce, but it had nothing to do with cuteness, and there was a sense of perseverance, and if it was such a face, even if others would doubt his strength, they would at most think about whether it was a trap, or if they used various means, or good luck or something like that--but now, whoever looks at it will skip him at a glance, and their attention will not be able to focus on him at all.
Whether it was a trap or a poison, a stratagem or something else - there would be no such conjecture, and the only thing that crossed their minds was the four words that could not have crossed their minds.
"It should be the elders in the family who asked him to sell on behalf of him, right?"
"I think it's like, otherwise it doesn't make sense, you don't know the green armor violent bear, even my uncle and his group don't dare to pat their chests to guarantee that they can hunt successfully - this hair has not grown - I have said it, sin, but such a child can hunt the green armor violent bear, I don't believe it first. β
"Yes, yes. β
β......β
Not in the same way as this group of people, Kurokawa pulled his attention away from the discussion behind him and returned to the front desk in front of him.
The female cultivator at the front desk was still counting the number of materials of this green armor violent bear, the length and width of the fur, the number and size of the carapace, and the weight and hardness of the bones, all of which had to be recorded in detail one by one, otherwise they would not be able to find a seller.
Many people who buy materials have very strict requirements for them, because most of them are craftsmen or casters, and whether it is forging weapons or casting armor, they all require extremely delicate operations, and the requirements for all information about the materials are very strict, and there can be no mistakes or omissions.
It's like forging a long gun, a good gun must have very fine requirements for the rod, not too hard, not too soft, moderate, elastic, and length requirements, preferably a whole wood, do not cut, armor is the same, there are very strict requirements for the hardness and flexibility of the material, you can't let the joints be hard and can't bend, and you can't let the cuirass be soft and penetrate.
That's why it's important to choose the right materials.
"The fur is very well preserved, almost a single sheet, except for the fissure in the abdomen, which is a little untidy. β
In the process of recording, the female cultivator who received the goods at the front desk did not forget to analyze the quality of Kurokawa's materials, not only that, but the price evaluation also directly said, "The whole skin of the third-order adult male green armor storm bear, because it can be used as a cloak, chair cushion, leather armor and other objects, is very versatile, and it also has a high collection value, and we are willing to buy it at a price of nine thousand five hundred taels." β
Although Kurokawa didn't know whether the price was right or not, he had a good pair of ears, and after listening to the whispers around him a little, he found that it was indeed fair.
"It's really not a pit at all, this boy is obviously the first time to come to a similar place, and even the price is not very clear, it seems that he has indeed come to experience. β
"Kejin Pavilion has always been so fair, no matter who is treated equally, this skin, I think the quality is only a small excellent, about 15,000 taels, but that has to contact all kinds of buyers in demand, and then carry out various treatments on the fur, and finally send the goods to the door, if it is just a single sale, at most 10,000 up and down, the offer is indeed really conscience. β
"It's not, otherwise how do you think the previous Jinmanlou and Tianyi Chamber of Commerce went bankrupt and disappeared? It's not that there are too many people, and in the end, no one goes, and they can't even recruit a shopkeeper, and there are many people who take advantage of the chaos to retaliate and attack, and in the end, the high-level people are also panicked and completely dispersed. β
Looking at the expressions and conversations of these people, it seems to be real.
Nodding secretly, Kurokawa continued to listen.
"Some of the carapace is broken, so these cannot be calculated according to the price of the carapace, and the calculation method of sundries needs to be used. β
Picking out the wrist armor and belly armor that had been shattered by Kurokawa, she continued, "The bones are all of good quality, they are all of the highest quality, the carapace is two thousand five hundred taels a whole, there are three pieces that can be used, five hundred taels of bones each, and a total of eight pieces that can be used. β
Raising her head, the female cultivator raised her eyebrows, saw the huge skull on Kurokawa's waist, and subconsciously moved her mouth and began to analyze, "This skull is quite well handled, the bones are warm, there are no cracks, the teeth are neat and white, it looks very healthy, there is a natural ferocity, many collectors like this, it is worth about seven thousand taels." β
After finishing speaking, she realized that Heichuan didn't take this up, and it didn't look like she was about to sell it, so she smiled a little embarrassedly, and then held up the list she had just written, and said, "The final price is 21,000 taels, do you want to settle the bill with spirit stones or a silver ticket?"
Spirit stones are commonly used by cultivators as a trading currency, and unlike spiritual objects that can assist in cultivation, the spiritual energy contained in spirit stones carries a sense of dead silence, although it will also be helpful if used for cultivation, but it will have a bad impact on Shouyuan - although I don't know if this matter is true or false, but it is true that not many people use spirit stones to cultivate on weekdays.
After all, the matter of Shouyuan is not too cautious, and the benefits brought by the spirit stone are actually not that great, so it will only be used when it is occasionally on the verge of rushing and there is no demon beast flesh and blood spirit plant beside him.
Most of the time, it was used as a practitioner's currency.
Kurokawa thought about it for a moment, and hesitated a little.
Now that he is still in the realm of human beings, he has not yet completely entered the world of cultivators, and the spirit stone is really not of much use to him - he doesn't know if the core can absorb the energy in it, but he thinks it shouldn't work.
After testing, the core can absorb the energy in the spirit grass and pills, but there is nothing for all kinds of metals and water that contain aura, and it seems that it only absorbs the life aura that is alive and milder in nature.
As for the elixir, after all, the elixir was refined by concentrating the essence of the spirit plant, and if it couldn't be absorbed, it wouldn't be reasonable.
But, in any case, he can't spend a total of 21,000 silver.
This was the first time he had seen so much money in his life - you must know that ordinary people only earn five or six hundred taels of silver a year, and there are not many silver taels in the mountain villages, twenty-one thousand taels of silver, enough for twenty people to live comfortably for a year.
The value of a demon beast is so great, it is no wonder that there are special cultivators to hunt demon beasts and earn cultivation resources.
"Then settle the bill with spirit stones. β
Kurokawa thought about it, decided to use the spirit stone, and said.
Anyway, when the time comes to use silver, it's not too much to take a spirit stone to pay the billβon the contrary, when you need to use a spirit stone to settle the bill, it's too much to take silver.
"If it is replaced with spirit stones, it will be about one thousand and fifty, and we will give you some discounts, even if it is one thousand and one hundred. β
Grain?
Shocked, Kurokawa suddenly realized that things were not as simple as he thought.
