Changsheng Xiuxian: I can see through everything

Chapter 97: The Strange Poison in the World (Please Subscribe)

Chen Xuan was stunned.

This price is indeed not low.

Three hundred spirit stones is the annual rent for his shop and house.

An ordinary casual cultivator can spend ten years.

"Little sister, what's your name?"

"My name is Bai Yingying, and I'm from the nearby Baijiazhai."

Chen Xuan had heard a little about Baijiazhai.

An ordinary barbarian village in the Wandu Mountains gave birth to an extraordinary figure five hundred years ago.

As an ordinary barbarian, he wandered around outside for many years and returned home with amazing skills.

It is said that he is a man who practices both physical and magical skills, is at the Golden Body Stage, and is good at using poison to drive away insects.

Since then, Baijiazhai has become the core force of many barbarian villages in the Wandu Mountains.

The barbarian villages form their own system.

Although it has to pay taxes and tributes to the Five Poison Sect, it is actually a relatively independent force.

The Five Poison Sect has always been kind to the barbarian villages and will not go out of its way to provoke or exploit them.

Even now, Baijiazhai has a foundation-building master in charge.

"Bai Yingying, do you know how many spirit stones a top-grade flying sword sells for?"

"Two hundred spirit stones?"

"Generally speaking, a top-grade flying sword costs 300 spirit stones, and a mid-grade flying sword costs 100 spirit stones."

Chen Xuan pointed at the scimitar in Bai Yingying's hand and said, "This is a mid-grade magical weapon, probably worth fifty spirit stones."

"You're asking for six of these scimitars for a tiny juvenile scorpion? Don't you think it's a bit pricey?"

Chen Xuan looked at Bai Yingying in front of him and explained patiently.

"Well, now that you mention it, it's a bit expensive. But, this is a Pipa Poison Scorpion! Very precious! None of the Five Poison Sect's inner disciples' exotic insects can defeat it!"

"But it hasn't grown up yet, it's only a juvenile! It won't be easy to cultivate it to maturity!"

As an insect tamer, Chen Xuan has a say in this regard.

Even using the Insect Emperor Divine Wood Cauldron to cultivate strange insects is not that easy.

To successfully imprint the soul, a large amount of insect spirit essence must be provided.

In the Five Poison Sect, there are a small number of insect masters who cultivate strange insects from a young age and then sell them at high prices after they mature.

But for Chen Xuan, it is simply impossible.

Any strange insect that enters the Insect Emperor's Divine Wood Cauldron and is not branded with a soul mark can only be condensed into insect spirit essence.

After being branded with the soul mark, he had a kind of soul resonance with Chen Xuan.

If you want to sell it, you must remove the soul imprint.

This was a very painful thing for both Qi Chong and Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan will lose some of his spiritual power.

As the strength of the strange insect decreases, it will return to its original nature and it will be difficult to tame it again.

It would be unreasonable for Chen Xuan to sell the rare insects he had carefully cultivated.

This is also the reason why he immediately refused when Sima Cheng asked him for the Iron-back Mantis.

To others, he is an insect tamer who has several strange insects in his hands.

But for Chen Xuan, these strange insects are his partners, and even a special existence evolved from his life.

"Then how many spirit stones will you offer?"

Bai Yingying lowered her head and thought about it, and seemed to feel that the asking price was indeed a little bit high.

"I'll give you a real price, one hundred spirit stones!"

"One hundred spirit stones? That's too cheap. I hope the owner can add some more!"

"One hundred spirit stones for a strange insect is already expensive. You can go and ask around. A low-grade strange insect costs two spirit stones, a mid-grade strange insect costs twenty spirit stones, and a high-grade strange insect costs sixty spirit stones."

Chen Xuan said sincerely.

This is the Wandu Mountains, which is rich in various poisonous insects, so the prices are naturally much cheaper than outside.

"Bai Yingying, my offer is very sincere. You won't find anyone who offers a higher price than mine in the entire Honghefang Market."

"Uh. Shopkeeper, I don't care, you have to add some!" Bai Yingying said angrily: "My sister said that this Pipa Poison Scorpion can be sold for three hundred spirit stones. She never lies to me!"

Chen Xuan was stunned.

"Your sister is..."

"You don't even know this? The leader of the Bai Clan Village, Bai Tingting!"

"Oh, I didn't remember it for a moment."

Of course Chen Xuan would not admit that he didn't know.

"Hold on."

He walked out of the shop and casually pointed at an experienced law enforcement officer. "Do you know Bai Tingting from Baijiazhai?"

"I know! How could I not know? The barbarian leader, a thirty-year-old foundation-building cultivator!"

Chen Xuan waved his hand and let him go.

But I was thinking in my heart.

He didn't know whether Bai Tingting had said that the Pipa Poison Scorpion was worth three hundred spirit stones.

But it seems a bit inappropriate to push the price too hard.

When he walked into the store, he saw Bai Yingying looking at him eagerly.

"For your sister's sake, one hundred and fifty spirit stones!"

Chen Xuan waved his hands with some heartache: "Don't bargain with me anymore! If you can't agree, just take it away!"

"Shopkeeper, that's not what I meant."

Bai Yingying deftly collected all the poisonous insects, placed the pipit scorpion separately in an insect bag, and handed it to Chen Xuan.

"Spiritual stone!"

Chen Xuan summoned the incarnation of the wood spirit, counted out the one hundred and fifty spirit stones, and solemnly handed them to Bai Yingying.

"The money and goods have been paid, please keep them safe. Be careful when you go back, don't let anyone rob you!" Chen Xuan thought for a moment and reminded.

He didn't want to provoke revenge from the Foundation Establishment Cultivator because of Bai Yingying.

In this world of repair tools where the strong prey on the weak and the fittest survive, only by being cautious can you live long.

Bai Yingying took out the one hundred and fifty spirit stones and counted them three times to confirm that they were correct. Her eyes showed an obsessive light like a woman seeing jewels.

Chen Xuan often saw this kind of look. Jiang Yingxue also had the same obsessed look in her eyes when she counted the spirit stones.

"Hey, it smells good. Who is refining Qi-boosting powder in there?"

Bai Yingying sniffed her pretty nose and asked in confusion.

"You have an alchemist here?"

"Brother Su, come out quickly, there's business coming!"

Chen Xuan shouted.

Su Zhengming ran out sweating profusely.

"Brother Xuan, where is the customer?"

The barbarian girl Bai Yingying was too young and was ignored by him.

"At this."

Chen Xuan pointed at Bai Yingying.

"Don't underestimate her. She just earned 150 spirit stones from me! If Brother Su has the ability, he can earn it back!"

Chen Xuan left the two men behind, picked up the insect bag, and returned to the training room.

He branded the Pipa Poison Scorpion's soul, threw it into the Insect Emperor's Divine Wood Cauldron, and cut a small piece of the insect spirit essence for it.

The pipa scorpion stretched out its two pincers, held the insect spirit essence, and began to chew it with relish.

The communication with Chen Xuan's soul was surprisingly smooth, and he did not have the arrogance of being ranked second on the list of strange insects in the Ten Thousand Poison Mountains.

"Perhaps this highly poisonous insect is really difficult to mature in the wild?"

Chen Xuan was doubtful.

The more he looked at the Pipa Scorpion, the more familiar it looked.

It seems like we've known each other for many years.

A flash of light flashed.

Chen Xuan slapped his head.

Suddenly I remembered, isn’t this the prototype of the Scorpion Spirit in a famous novel I read in my previous life?
I rely on!

A poisonous insect that can sting the Buddha!

The Monkey King, who made a big fuss in Heaven, had an indestructible body, but was stung so badly that he had to cover his face and flee.

Chen Xuan was completely stunned.

This is the Xuanyuan cultivation continent, not the mythical world in the legends of the previous life.

Despite this, Chen Xuan couldn't help but associate it in his mind.

Everything has its origin and is ultimately nothing other than what it is.

Even if this Pipa Poison Scorpion has one thousandth or one ten-thousandth of its strength in the future, it will still be a top-notch poisonous creature in this cultivation continent.

Only one hundred and fifty spirit stones, it’s totally worth it!

For others, a juvenile Pit Scorpion may be difficult to raise to maturity.

For him, this has never been a problem.

As long as the soul imprint can be left, there is enough insect spirit essence.

Chen Xuan will let you know what a real insect tamer is!
