Chapter 166: Mr. Zhou Breaks Through
Once the bear skin was sold and the fifty spiritual stones were obtained, Li Qing closed the stall with a smile and began to wander around the trade fair happily.
Soon, he found a vendor selling animal feeding pills and animal nourishing pills. This man was a beast master and knew how to refine some of the pills that monster beasts need to eat.
Animal-feeding pills, generally pills or pills named like this, are low-quality miscellaneous pills, low in value, and very easy to refine.
Only elixirs named after elixirs can truly be called high-grade elixirs. This is something that only an alchemist can refine, and each one is very valuable.
"Bring me sixty animal feeding pills and ten animal feeding pills!" Li Qing said calmly.
The beast-feeding pills are similar to the Bigu Pills taken by monks. Just one pill is enough for the monsters to eat for two to three days without eating.
Of course, after all, it is fed to monster beasts, so the refining technique is very rough, and the materials used cannot be as particular as Bigu Dan, so the value is also very low.
As for the animal-raising elixir, this thing is not cheap. Anyone with the word "elixir" on it will be worth exponentially more.
This elixir contains very strong medicinal power. If a monster consumes this elixir all the year round, it will change completely over time.
It is definitely a powerful medicine for tigers and wolves. Unfortunately, the medicinal properties are too strong and the human body cannot bear it.
The prices of both are relatively fixed and basically do not fluctuate.
The Animal Feeding Pill contains three spiritual stones for one piece, and the Animal Feeding Pill contains five spiritual stones for one. From this point we can see how low the value of Zadan is.
The stall owner selling monster elixirs didn't even raise his eyes as he directly discharged a pile of bottles and cans, and piled the amount Li Qing needed in front of him.
"I'll charge you a total of seventy spiritual stones." After the stall owner said that, he closed his eyes slightly again and calmed down.
When Li Qing saw this, he did not hesitate and handed over the spirit stone happily.
The money and goods were clear, and just as Li Qing was about to leave, the stall owner selling monster elixirs suddenly called out to Li Qing again.
"Wait, my friend has a monster?"
Li Qing suddenly became vigilant after hearing this. Monsters in the world of immortality are very rare nowadays, so there is no guarantee that the other party will not have any thoughts.
"Haha, little friend, I misunderstood. I didn't want to prey on your monsters." The hooded stall owner continued in a low and hoarse voice: "Generally speaking, monks who raise monsters will breed them. Make a blood contract or a soul contract to ensure that the monsters are obedient and will not betray."
"Little friend, I have a blood contract method, which I only sell for fifteen pieces of spiritual stones. Do you want it?"
The method of blood contract?
Li Qing thought for a while, and he felt that given his relationship with Rice Tong, he shouldn't need such a thing.
The two have been dependent on each other for many years, and even though he has been freeing food for a while, he is still very obedient.
Just when Li Qing was about to refuse, the hooded stall owner smiled and continued: "Planting the seal of the blood contract will allow the pet beast to understand more of your instructions and words, and the mind will also improve. Once we have some contact, we will have a better understanding when we fight together in the future.”
This is indeed true. Li Qing understands that the beast masters in the world of immortality are also very broad and profound.
Many beastmasters have strong fighting prowess and are inseparable from the monsters they raise.
Moreover, some beast masters also master some magical secrets, and some can even share the vision of monsters with themselves.
"Can it be cheaper? I don't have many spiritual stones on hand now?" Li Qing looked like he was in a pinch, as if he really couldn't dig out many spiritual stones, but he was very interested in the blood contract method.
The hooded stall owner laughed dumbly. He shook his head and said, "It's not cheap. This is already a very low price. If I didn't urgently need a fortune of spiritual stones, how could I sell this method to you?"
Hearing this, Li Qing felt relieved.
If the other party still agrees to reduce the price, then there may be some problems with the blood contract method, and planting the seal of the blood contract may cause some bad changes to happen to the customer.
Since the other party was asking for spiritual stones, Li Qing didn't care so much.
After thinking about it, Li Qing finally bought the secret technique.
The stall owner, who was a beastmaster, threw a book called Seal of the Blood Pact to Li Qing without saying a word.
After obtaining the secret technique, Li Qing quickly blended into the crowd at the trade fair, then changed several directions, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"You have to go back and study the blood contract method. It's best to ask Senior Zhou to help you see if there are any problems. It can't be easily planted for someone to eat."
Li Qing murmured, and decided not to use it in a hurry, lest there were problems with the method and he would be cheated, which would cause problems for his livelihood.
Next, Li Qing spent a lot of time wandering around the trade fair, and finally spent twenty spiritual stones to buy three spiritual fish and fourteen kilograms of spiritual rice, and then returned home.
Back in the courtyard, Li Qing immediately activated the restriction and then breathed a sigh of relief.
In two days, he spent a lot of spiritual stones. Yesterday he bought two jars of spiritual wine, several talismans, as well as beast control bags and storage bags. He spent a total of more than 330 spiritual stones.
Today I sold the bear demon skin and made fifty spiritual stones. But then I bought a lot of elixirs and other things that I would like to eat, which cost another one hundred and five spiritual stones.
After some calculations, Li Qing now only has 285 yuan of spiritual stones accumulated in his hands for half a year.
"Alas, I'm poor again, but fortunately I've bought almost everything I wanted."
"The only regret is that I couldn't buy some elixirs for improving my mana in the Qi Refining Stage. These things are too rare, and they are snapped up every time they are put on display."
"Let's try our luck tomorrow. If I still can't buy them, I won't force it."
Li Qing sighed, then waved his hand, and a ball of fire emerged.
Boom!
Now he is very skilled in using the fireball technique to light the bonfire.
As he said that, he set up an iron pot and prepared to cook a pot of thick spiritual rice and spiritual fish porridge for himself.
The rice bucket next to him soon smelled the fragrance of the spiritual fish and quickly crawled over.
Li Qing rolled his eyes, then took out a reddish-brown animal-raising pill from his storage bag.
"Eat this, this thing is not much cheaper than the spiritual fish."
As soon as the voice fell, Li Qing directly ejected the animal-raising pill worth five spiritual stones.
The rice bucket, who sensed the extraordinary nature of this pill, immediately jumped up. His huge body was extremely oppressive, blocking out the sun in the sky, and even dimmed the light in the courtyard.
"Aohou!" The rice bucket swallowed the beast-raising pill in one gulp, and then lay down contentedly, feeling the transformation brought to it by the beast-raising pill.
Although this pill, which is specially fed to monsters, has a strong medicinal power, it only sells for five spirit stones, which is much cheaper than the pills taken by human cultivators.
That's because the medicinal properties of this pill are too strong for human physique to bear.
In addition, the pill contains a very strong poison, which can only be digested and absorbed by the physique of monsters.
It is no exaggeration to say that if Li Qing curiously ate a beast-raising pill, the poison would probably enter his body immediately, and then the strong medicinal properties would impact his body, and finally cause his meridians to break and die.
While the rice bucket was transforming, the spiritual rice porridge cooked by Li Qing had become steaming hot.
He took out a spiritual fish and threw it directly into the pot of spiritual rice porridge without even processing it.
After all, it is a spiritual creature, living in the central area of the spiritual vein all year round, enjoying the extremely rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
The fish meat of each spiritual fish is nourished by the pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the taste is extremely delicious, and it is of great benefit to cultivators.
After a while, the spiritual fish porridge was cooked, and Li Qing couldn't wait to serve himself a bowl.
He blew it slightly, and after the fish meat and porridge cooled slightly, Li Qing immediately tasted it.
The tender and delicious fish meat, mixed in the thick and sweet spiritual rice porridge, his taste buds instantly fell into an extremely delicious feeling.
It's so delicious!
It's simply a delicacy on earth!
After tasting the spiritual fish porridge, Li Qing felt that his hard work in mining for half a year had finally paid off!
Li Qing, immersed in the food, had completely emptied his mind and began to deal with this pot of spiritual fish porridge with all his heart.
In the end, he didn't even let go of the fish bones, chewed the crisp bones into pieces, and then drank it with the porridge.
Without wasting a single bit, Li Qing, who was full, lay down on the spot, his head resting on the body of the rice bucket, closed his eyes and felt the spiritual power in his body, with a satisfied smile on his lips.
This is what it means to cultivate immortality!
Life is so comfortable that he would not want to change his position as an emperor on earth.
As the night deepened, the sky was dotted with bright stars.
Tonight, Li Qing didn't want to practice, but just quietly admired the night, listened to the snoring of the rice bucket next to him, and gradually fell into a deep sleep.
In this way, a night passed, and in the early morning of the next day, a drop of cold dew dripped down.
Tick-tock!
Li Qing had no intention of waking up, and was still enjoying his dream.
However, the next moment, a strong breath wave swept from the C-shaped area.
Feeling this movement, Li Qing woke up instantly. He turned over and climbed up, looking outside the courtyard, which was the direction of the breath.
"Is this the direction of Old Man Zhou's courtyard?"
After confirming this, Li Qing couldn't help but clench his fists.
Zhou Tong had already eaten the Ningling Pill and had begun to break through!
Boom!
As the breath became stronger, more and more people began to pay attention to Zhou Tong's breakthrough.
The late stage of Qi Refining is still too difficult for many casual cultivators with average qualifications to achieve.
If Zhou Tong succeeds in this breakthrough, he may be the first casual cultivator to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining in the past few decades.
As for whether there are any earlier, only the Liu family knows.
"Old Zhou's breakthrough looks very likely to succeed!"
"Hiss! Late stage of Qi Refining, could it be that he really succeeded?"
"Alas, why did I hesitate at that time? He was just a Flying Eagle Thief, otherwise I would have been the one to break through here today!"
"The aura has become more condensed and tight, Old Zhou is really going to succeed!"
Accompanied by exclamations, in the courtyard where Old Zhou lived, a clear light penetrated the long rainbow, and then his aura suddenly rose a lot, and finally became completely stable.
Boom!
Late stage of Qi Refining! It's done!
