Chapter 479 Three Immortals
"I want to test it first to see its specific effects before making a decision."
The white-haired old man did not think for too long. He looked up at the calm Qin Huai and said cautiously, "After all, it is the blood of a heavenly demon. When injected into a mortal beast, the speed and state of its transformation into a demon will also vary. These will affect the Wanbao Pavilion's valuation of it."
"Please."
Qin Huai nodded and added, "As for the loss, let's share it equally."
After hearing this, the white-haired old man suddenly felt that Qin Huai in front of him was much more pleasing to the eye, and immediately told the waiter to prepare the supplies with a smile.
"A fish demon with a hundred years of cultivation can be considered a small demon that has barely escaped the category of ordinary beasts. It is the most suitable for observing the transformation into a demon."
Looking at the carp monster that was more than a meter tall on the curved wooden table, Qin Huai nodded without any objection.
Although the little demons with less than 500 years of cultivation are only equivalent to the low-level random-level Yamafu and do not have any magical powers, they can indeed be said to be thick-skinned and tough, and it is most appropriate to use them as experimental materials at this time.
The white-haired old man opened the jar, took out a bit of heavenly luck, flicked his fingers, and dropped it on the carp monster, muttering something.
After this drop of fiery red heavenly auspiciousness penetrated into the carp monster that was bound by magic chains, its entire body suddenly turned from white to red, and thick white steam rose from between its scales.
Seeing the fish monster's facial features trembling and its eyes turning bloodshot, the white-haired old man was slightly stunned. He could see that the little monster's emotions had changed from fear and terror at the beginning to greed and desire, and it was still sliding into the abyss of some desire.
When he used his magic power and spiritual sense to sense again, he was surprised to find that he could no longer distinguish the carp monster's mood. He just felt that the extremely intense thoughts in it had reached a state that was unpredictable and difficult to clarify.
Suddenly, the carp monster roared, its head bulged high, and two bloody bone horns grew out. The scales on its body became thick and hard, stained a deep black. The bridge of its nose and jaw that supported its bulging eyes and thick lips sank downward, forming a ferocious posture like a horse's jaw or a crocodile's short snout.
It suddenly raised its head, and while being restrained by the magic chains, it bit the Tianrui jar in the hand of the white-haired old man!
"What a beast!"
The white-haired old man was not surprised but happy. It was not surprising to transform the precious blood of mortal beasts into monsters. There were countless ways to temporarily improve one's Taoism and magic power. However, the little monster that was forced to grow up in such a way did not have any potential and was not worth continuing to cultivate.
The carp monster in front of him was just an ordinary aquatic creature that had barely become a monster by living long enough. But at this moment, it was emitting an increasingly strong demonic aura, and a black bulge began to appear on its back, slowly swelling.
Judging from the characteristics revealed by its transformation into a demon, it is no longer a fish demon, but has clearly become a real dragon, or even a strange demon with a ferocious temperament and much greater potential than ordinary tiger and wolf monsters.
"A dragon with wings on its back, could it be that this precious blood was left by the legendary celestial demon Yinglong?"
The white-haired old man looked at the carp demon, whose appearance had changed drastically, and said in surprise: "If it is really the blood essence left by Yinglong, then the price of one hundred and fifty gold shells is really worth it."
"Is the shopkeeper satisfied?"
Qin Huai glanced at the carp demon who was close at hand, paused, and continued: "If you are satisfied, you might as well consider the price I just mentioned. After all, the great demons and demon kings with profound cultivation all treasure their essence and blood extremely preciously, not to mention those elusive celestial demons."
"I am satisfied, but I think if you can accept these 210 gold shells, we can complete the transaction now."
The white-haired old man waved his hand, put the still struggling carp monster aside, and gave the final price.
"can."
Qin Huai did not care about the change of the three or five gold shells, and took out another twenty cans of [Liquid Tianrui] and handed them over: "This blood essence is flammable and explosive. Remember to keep it away from fire and fire magic, and don't put it together with spiritual materials like this."
Looking at the [Manqiu Water] pointed by Qin Huai, the white-haired old man nodded slightly, then said, "Just now, the guest said that he would sell first and buy later. I wonder if there is anything you need? Wanbao Pavilion is all-encompassing, including the treasures of the ten continents. I believe that the guest will definitely return with a full load."
Qin Huai leaned back slightly, stepped back a little, turned his head and looked around the shelves in the hall, and said, "I want to take a look at everything. It would be even better if I could buy some monster species with extraordinary potential and secrets that are hard to find out on the market."
"I see. Then let's take a look at the pills first?"
Seeing that Qin Huai did not have any specific requests, the white-haired old man thought for a moment, and then based on the information revealed in those few words, he took out a few bottles of pills.
[Metamorphosis Pill]: There are forty-nine pills in a bottle. They are made by Jade Snake Young Master of Baiyun Mountain who set up a cauldron and set up a furnace, kneaded sand and refined mercury, and used the white snow yellow buds for 49 days. The main ingredient is the molt of a male viper's skin, supplemented with hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum and other ingredients. The pill has a miraculous effect on the transformation of monsters and beasts. A little monster with five hundred years of cultivation only needs to swallow one pill to transform five hundred years earlier. It is worth five hundred wooden shells.
[Sun and Moon Pills]: There are nine pills in a bottle. The great demon on Tianjue Peak has collected the sun and moon energy for ten years, supplemented with seventeen rare medicines. It takes three months to refine this precious pill. It can increase the cultivation level of a small demon with less than two thousand years of cultivation by one hundred years. It is worth four hundred and fifty spirit shells.
[Qingzhe Pills]: The signature product of Qingqiu, the demon king of Xuanlin Island. It can clear the mind, strengthen the soul, and increase the probability of the demon fairy surviving the heavenly calamity. It is worth ten gold shells.
Note: After a monster transforms, it will face a natural calamity every thousand years, with the difficulty doubling accordingly. But if it can survive it safely, it can be reborn and seize the fortune of heaven and earth.
If an ordinary person were suddenly faced with so many panaceas, he would be dazzled and not know how to choose.
But Qin Huai and the other two had extraordinary origins after all. Not to mention Ao Ling, the true dragon princess of the East China Sea clan, even Qin Huai and Zheng Zhaomin had experienced the baptism of those miscellaneous treasures in the personal auction house, and soon ranked the value of these elixirs in their minds.
"I want one hundred bottles of [Transfiguration Pills], five bottles of [Sun and Moon Pills], and one bottle of [Awakening Pills]."
Qin Huai calculated in his mind and realized that in just a moment he had used forty gold shells to obtain a large amount of elixirs that could quickly transform his subordinates into Taoist soldiers.
"Okay, okay, wait a moment, sir. I will prepare all the elixirs and send them to you right away."
The white-haired old man was delighted to see Qin Huai's generosity. He immediately took various bottles and jars from the mahogany shelves and placed them neatly in front of Qin Huai.
He picked up the most expensive [Qingzhe Pill] and opened it. In the small bottle was a translucent bluish-white pill. It looked ordinary, and none of his five senses could detect any magical or outstanding thing about it. However, according to the feedback from [Jinghong Yigpig], this was indeed a panacea worth two thousand Yama points.
Looking at the purse that had just bulged and then quickly deflated, Qin Huai suddenly had an idea and took out the [Purple Sky Dragon Lacquer] derived from the [Dragon Blood Jade Yao] worth half a penny, and said, "How much can this little bit of magic be sold for?" The white-haired old man saw the [Purple Sky Dragon Lacquer] and took out a magnifying glass made of tortoise shell from somewhere. He took it and took a closer look, and exclaimed in amazement: "It turned out to be the blood-stained ore marrow left by the celestial demon Yinglong. Its value is inestimable, inestimable!"
"It's a pity that there are only so few of them. They can barely coat arrows and daggers. If I want to refine elixirs, I'm afraid there will only be two hundred gold shells for one furnace. This is all the shell money in the store. What do you think, sir?"
Qin Huai nodded and said, "Okay."
So, the purse that had just been deflated became full again.
"In addition to the elixirs, we also need to buy some other things from the shopkeeper."
Qin Huai glanced at the pills in front of him and knew that there was no shortage of these goods, so he spoke again: "I wonder if there are any excellent monster species with extraordinary potential and low cultivation in Wanbao Pavilion? My son is the Dragon King of Water Lord. He wants to raise a group of trustworthy warriors, and then select the best from them for training and give them dragon blood. But he has been unable to find a suitable monster tribe for a long time, so he has not gained anything until now. If Wanbao Pavilion can have the monster species he likes, it would be the best."
"I wonder what kind of monster you want, birds or beasts, or fish, shrimp, turtle or crab?"
When the white-haired old man saw the types of elixirs Qin Huai had purchased just now, he already had some guesses in his mind. Now that he saw that he was going to recruit monsters again, he had even thought of his subsequent sales talk.
"Land beasts, such as lions, cows, jackals and wolves."
Qin Huai thought of his [Nine Dragon Sons], and after calculating the resources he had access to, he also began to narrow down the range of monster species he wanted.
There are the most aquatic creatures in Tianwu's [Water God Palace]. Turtles, turtles and fish are of course not a problem. As for the toads, tigers and spirit birds among the nine sons of the dragon, we still have Qin An, Zheng Zhaomin and Tan Song. The monster species in their hands are definitely rarer and more powerful than most of the monsters from the Yambu fruit.
When the time comes, we will have a transaction and the Pulao, Chiwen and Bi'an that are enlightened will definitely be extraordinary.
"Sir, please look, this is the [Fiery Horned Wild Ox] that was transported from Fenglin Island. It was born with an extraordinary physique and can control fire. After it was transformed into a human form, it has a strong body, thick skin and flesh, and is the most suitable demon species for guarding."
Qin Huai looked at the big-horned bull that the shop assistant brought over, frowned, and said, "Is there no water buffalo similar to Baili Qing? After all, my son is the Dragon King of Water. Although this [Fierce Horned Wild Bull] has extraordinary talents, its compatibility is indeed a bit low."
"I forgot about that. Sir, take a look at this [Green Water Golden Eye Lion]. It is born with the ability to control storm water vapor. It is extremely fast. Whether it is used as a mount or trained as a guard, it is the best choice."
After carefully selecting the many monster species recommended by the white-haired old man, Qin Huai finally only purchased two pairs of adult [Green Water Golden Eyed Lions] and more than forty young ones, spending a full twenty gold shells.
Seeing that the white-haired old man was still planning to sell the secret code of magic that came from the Bailing tribe, Qin Huai waved his hand and got down to business.
"When I was at the gold shop before, I heard from Shopkeeper Chan that the merchants belonging to the Wanbao Pavilion travel all over the ten continents and three islands, and they are the most well-informed. That's why we came to Guibao Land tonight. Our main purpose is to buy some news that ordinary people don't know."
Qin Huai raised his eyes and looked at the white-haired old man who was holding the [Purple Sky Dragon Lacquer] in his palm and couldn't let it go. He said quietly: "Some time ago, the three mountains of Penglai disappeared overnight, and their whereabouts have not been found until now. We were entrusted by someone to find the disappeared Penglai, but after searching for a long time, we still found nothing. I wonder if the shopkeeper has heard of the relevant rumors since he has been in Haiji for a long time?"
"Are you looking for the Three Mountains of Penglai?"
The white-haired old man looked at Qin Huai with a little surprise, frowned, and said, "After hearing about the disappearance of the three mountains, Wanbao Pavilion was also quite shocked. They felt that this matter might have some secret connection with the sinking of Taodu Mountain and the breaking of Kunlun Peak decades ago. But for so long, even though the merchants from the ten continents and wanderers from the four seas in Wanbao Pavilion have been actively searching, they have not obtained much useful information."
"So, Wanbao Pavilion has actually found some useful clues?"
Qin Huai keenly grasped the information in these few words and went a step further.
"Fifty gold shells, and I will tell you everything I have discovered in the Wanbao Pavilion."
"it is good."
Qin Huai counted out fifty gold shells without thinking.
"I wonder if you are aware that there are three Penglai immortals in the Three Mountains since ancient times. They are the [Silver Wings Cutting Jade Green] of Penglai Island, the [Red Winged Fire-Attracting Butterfly] of Yingzhou, and the [Golden Eyes Riding a Yellow Colt] of Fangzhang Mountain."
Seeing that Qin Huai gave the money readily and without hesitation, the white-haired old man immediately told a legend.
"These three immortals represent the three major tribes living in the three sacred mountains, namely the Blue Bird, the Dark Butterfly, and the Golden Deer. Among them, the ones with the deepest Taoism and the highest cultivation are Penglai Monster King Ji Yu, Fangzhang Monster King Jiuyuan Zhangren, and Yingzhou Monster King Die Zhu."
"What does this have to do with Sanshan's disappearance?"
Seeing the white-haired old man start to introduce the local customs and practices, Zheng Zhaomin asked, "Could it be that one of these three did not disappear along with the sacred mountain?"
"Yes, your guess is correct. This Yingzhou demon king, Die Zhu, also known as the [Red-winged Fire-Attracting Butterfly], had to survive the calamity of the heavenly demon a few days ago. He left Guixu and came to Xuanlin Island to find Qingqiu to refine an elixir that could resist the heavenly calamity. He happened to avoid the disaster that befell the Three Mountains."
The white-haired old man pointed at the [Jingzhe Pill] in Qin Huai's hand and continued, "That was one of the pills that Qing Qiu made for Die Zhu. Unfortunately, the Heavenly Demon Tribulation was too dangerous, and it was a nine out of ten chance of death. Even though Die Zhu made many preparations, she still failed in the end. If it weren't for her innate magical powers that allowed her to barely survive the thunder, she would have died that day. But even so, she is still unconscious on Xuanlin Island and is receiving treatment from Qing Qiu."
"So, what you're saying is that if she wakes up, it will help us find the missing Penglai?"
Zheng Zhaomin's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.
"The [Red-winged Fire-attracting Butterfly] has the innate ability to find relatives in the underworld, which is similar to the spatial magic of the Blue Bird Clan. If Butterfly Zhu can wake up, with her status as the clan leader of the Underworld Butterfly Clan, she should be able to rely on her cultivation as a half-step heavenly demon and trace the origin of the Underworld Butterfly bloodline to find the missing Yingzhou. Then she can follow the clues and find Penglai."
The white-haired old man stroked his long beard, looked at Qin Huai and said, "Of course it's not a difficult task."
