Chapter One Hundred and Eighty-Fifth: Obtaining the Treasures Again(1/2)
Finally back!
Outside the Biluo Immortal City, Wang Ping looked at the bustling and lively fairy city ahead and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After separating from Lin Xiao'e, he kept returning here.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly on the road and I came back safely within a month.
Fortunately, he had renewed the rent for the cave for several years, otherwise he would have taken back the cave in the city when he came back.
Biluo Immortal City punishes monks who do not pay the rent of the cave on time.
Once the cave rent is not paid for more than one year, the cave will not only be taken back, but will also be fined three times the amount after finding the person. If you want to rent the cave again, you will have to pay ten years of rent at one time.
After Wang Ping came back at this time, he immediately went to renew his rent for five years, and then he visited the foundation-building monks he met here one by one.
He hasn't come back for more than a year, so naturally someone visited him and could not find him. All of them had to visit him one by one.
After this round of visits, Wang Ping took another three days.
It was not until Wang Ping visited all the monks he knew that he had time to return to the cave to deal with the gains of this trip.
The loss this time I went out was quite big, but the gains were even greater.
Putting aside the three magic weapons Lin Xiao'e gave, Wang Ping himself had a lot of things he had either killed monsters or killed monks.
Not to mention the nine "Wind Shadow Demon Beetle" insect puppets and the strange insects raised in "Heaven and Earth Shell".
After sorting out his things, he went out to the cave and asked someone to help collect several special monster eggs or news by entrusting the collection.
There is a group of Qi Refining Cultivators in Biluo Immortal City who specialize in helping people collect related things in the free trading area to earn intermediary fees.
If a lonely cultivator like Wang Ping wants to find some spiritual objects but cannot buy them in various stores, he will usually entrust these people to help list and collect them there.
After all, they still have to meditate and practice various secret techniques, so they don’t have time to set up stalls there specifically?
In comparison, those sect monks are still comfortable. If you want to find any spiritual objects, you can not only use the sect channels to inquire about relevant information, but also directly use it as a reward task in places like the Common Affairs Hall, and let a large number of low-level disciples in the sect collect it for them.
After arranging the commission, Wang Ping returned to the cave and tamed the two strange insects in the "Heaven and Earth Shell" behind closed doors.
Like monsters, monster insects are the best way to tame their masters from the state of insect eggs.
"Nine Techniques for Control of Insects" contain a contract secret technique similar to the "Blood Spirit Controlling Spell". The insect eggs can be recognized and hatched, so that the hatched monsters can be easily controlled.
But Wang Ping has no insect eggs in his hands now, so he naturally cannot perform such operations. He can only use other methods to tame those strange insects.
Taming the demon insects that have begun to grow, there are also relevant tutorials on the insect control classics obtained by Wang Ping.
According to the records in the classics, because of the low wisdom, the demon insects cannot use those complex methods when taming them, and can only use the simplest method of taming animals to tame them.
Taking the "ice crystal poisonous scorpion" as an example, Wang Ping spent a considerable price to buy a batch of "ice nematodes" specifically for their characteristics.
"Ice nematode" is also a kind of demon worm. Some are like earthworms. They only like to live in cold places such as cold jade ore veins. They can even be integrated into jade and make people unable to detect it.
This kind of demon insect has no combat ability, but it is the food that some Ice-Shi monsters like to eat the most. Therefore, in bustling places like Biluo Xiancheng, there are special stores that sell this type of demon insect.
Although the "ice crystal poisonous scorpion" is not picky about food, they prefer the "ice nematode" monsters.
Wang Ping personally feeds a batch of "ice nematodes" to these "ice crystal poisonous scorpions" every three days, so that these strange insects can slowly accept the things trapped in the ice valley and slowly get used to his breath.
Of course, he could not always buy "ice nematodes" for food to feed scorpions, so he specially established an "ice nematode" farm for "ice crystal poisonous scorpions" and breed hundreds of live "ice nematodes".
When it comes to the "Wind Shadow Demon Beetle", Wang Ping changed to another strategy.
"Wind Shadow Demon" has no sense of pickyness about food, but is very picky about the requirements of the living environment.
The Spirit Eye Spring where Wang Ping now houses them is of course a good place, but this is just because the spiritual energy here is rich. In fact, in terms of environment, it is not the place that "Wind Shadow Demon" likes at all.
So Wang Ping worked hard again and chose a place from the "Heaven and Earth Shell" and arranged a wilderness jungle area that the "Wind Shadow Demon Beetle" liked the most.
There are no tall ancient trees in this area, but they have lush grass and shrubs, which can easily make the "Wind Shadow Demon" disguised and hidden its own existence.
In order to allow these "wind shadow demons" to settle down in peace, Wang Ping would throw some birds and beasts into it every two or three days to satisfy their desire to kill and hunt.
To be honest, compared with the "ice crystal poisonous scorpion", the domestication of the "Wind Shadow Demon Beetle" is much more difficult, and Wang Ping is not very sure about this.
Moreover, he now has nine ready-made insect puppets as a substitute, so it is not a big problem whether he can tame the three "Wind Shadow Demon Beetle".
So he wanted to raise the three "wind shadow demons" until they became adults, and then collect the insect eggs they laid to hatch and domesticate them.
Therefore, in the following time, Wang Ping made a re-adjustment of his free time.
About half of my free time is spent continuing to practice secret techniques such as the sound attack technique and "Spiritual Turtle Breath Retention Skill", and then half of the time is spent familiarizing myself with the usage of insect puppets and trying to tame the "ice crystal poisonous scorpion".
After practicing quietly in the cave for seven months, a casual cultivator who was also in Biluo Immortal City suddenly visited Wang Ping and told him that the bidding meeting would be held in this underground market.
After learning the news, Wang Ping immediately prepared some things and entered the underground market of Biluo Island.
Not long after I came to Biluo Fairy City, Wang Ping also participated in the underground market transaction here and bought a few things from it.
This time he came to the underground market again, but when he entered it, he was slightly surprised.
I saw two or three hundred monks gathered in the underground cave hall where the transaction was conducted, including several monks in the Kalpa stage with deep breath!
Once the cultivation level of an immortal cultivator reaches the stage of elixir, he will truly be among the ranks of high-level cultivators and is rare everywhere.
In remote places like the "Qiansha Islands", monks in the Jiedan stage are just walking sideways, so don't be too carefree.
Wang Ping remembered that when he came to participate in the underground market last time, there was only one monk from the Jiedan stage sent by the organizer to the temple.
Unexpectedly, this underground market was held to attract digital cultivators in the Kalpa stage.
This made him feel curious and expectant about the bidding meeting to be held this time.
However, the rules of the underground market on Biluo Island are different from the underground market he participated in on Shipan Island.
If there is a bid here, it will appear, and relevant news will be released in advance to attract more monks to participate in the transaction.
At the same time, bidding meetings will be held for treasure bidding. Only after the treasure bid will other monks be allowed to trade freely.
So when Wang Ping arrived, the monks who came here just meditated in the underground cave hall and urged their breath, waiting for the bidding meeting to begin.
In this way, about half a day after Wang Ping arrived, when the number of monks in the underground cave hall was close to 400, the bidding meeting finally began.
Like the underground dark market bidding event that Wang Ping had experienced before, a monk in the Jiedan stage wearing a lion-faced mask walked to the middle stage first, briefly explained the rules, and then took out the treasure and quoted it directly.
"The first treasure is this thousand-year-old red blood coral. The starting price is 6,600 low-grade spirit stones. Each increase of the price shall not be less than 100 low-grade spirit stones."
Generally, the first treasure is to get a good start, so after the monks with lion-faced masks took out the treasure, many of the monks present began to quote.
"Seven thousand low-grade spirit stones!"
"I'll give out 7,200 low-grade spirit stones."
"I have produced 7,500 low-grade spirit stones."
...
Looking at the dazzling coral tree on the table in front of the monk with lion-faced mask, the atmosphere of this bidding party was immediately mobilized.
Wang Ping can't practice alchemy. Although this thousand-year-old red blood coral is precious, he cannot play its role. He has no desire to bid, and just thinks it is watching a show.
In the end, this treasure was taken into his pocket by a monk in the Killing Pill stage for 15,700 low-grade spirit stones.
After the treasure was sold, the monk from the lion-faced mask slapped the storage bag again, took out a small blue flag and placed it on the table in front of him, and said lightly: "The second treasure is the top-level magic weapon Tianfeng Flag. Even if it is not a monk from Feng Ling Root, he can still use several powerful Fengxing spells. If a monk from Feng Ling Root, he will exert more powerful power. The starting price is 5,400 low-grade spirit stones."
Compared with the thousand-year-old red blood coral that requires skillful alchemy to refine, magic weapons are undoubtedly suitable for more monks, so the bidding is more intense than before.
Unfortunately, Wang Ping is so powerful that he has no interest in the body of magic weapons now that he can't control his troops.
Seeing the treasures being taken out for bidding, he always acted as a spectator. Seeing other people buying, he couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
In fact, the purpose of his visit to participate in the underground market transaction this time is very simple, to see if he can find some spiritual pills that can improve his cultivation.
Since his cultivation level broke through to the middle stage of foundation building, although he had the rich spiritual energy from the Spiritual Eye Spring helped him, his cultivation speed still slowed down.
According to his own estimate, if there was no help from the elixir, he would not have thought of breaking through to the late stage of foundation building if he had passed his 100th birthday.
How could he be content with this?
However, it is rare to be able to improve the cultivation of the foundation-building cultivator. Even those alchemists themselves are not enough, so how could they be sold to others easily?
Therefore, even in a prosperous place like Biluo Immortal City, there is no chance to buy this kind of elixir from those stores.
Wang Ping could only hope for an exchange meeting held by the underground market and some foundation-building monks.
"The seventeenth treasure, [Qingming Sword] talisman treasure, starting at 15,000 low-grade spirit stones!"
Suddenly, as the monk with lion-faced mask took out a new bidding treasure, Wang Ping's eyes lit up.
He was not interested in magic weapons, but he was very interested in talisman treasures.
He has lived a life of talismans many times, and he has a different love for this kind of treasure than ordinary people.
At this time, when he heard the offer, he immediately shouted with other bidders without hesitation.
Finally, when Wang Ping offered the price five times in a row, he used 26,500 low-grade spirit stones to win the "Qingming Sword" talisman treasure.
However, what Wang Ping did not expect was that he had just taken the "Qingming Sword" talisman treasure, and the lion-faced monk on the stage took out the second "Qingming Sword" talisman treasure to bid for, and it was eventually bought with 24,800 low-grade spirit stones.
By comparison, he lost 1,700 low-grade spirit stones in a blink of an eye, which really made him feel depressed.
Moreover, as the price of the second "Qingming Sword" talisman was determined, Wang Ping obviously felt that some monks looked at him with gloating, which made him even more depressed.
"Is this the elixir cultivator who is about to run out of life, so he specially refines talisman treasures to exchange for spirit stones to pave the way for the younger disciples!"
