Chapter 85 Premium Beast Spirit Pill [Please Read Further]

Tianxuan City.

"I heard that in the Demon Beast Sea Abyss, Master Lu and his spirit pet Xuan Shui Turtle killed two third-tier demon beasts."

"Good heavens, this is a third-tier Golden Core realm demon beast!"

"As expected of Master Lu."

"Hehe, it's said that this is the grandest auction in Tianxuan City this time, and there will be third-tier demon cores."

"I heard that Master Lu is holding this auction to prepare his disciple for Core Formation."

On the streets and alleys, monks were everywhere discussing the auction that would take place six months from now.

It's already bustling with activity, not only within the Yue Kingdom but also with numerous merchant guilds from neighboring countries flocking here.

Looking at the increasingly lively atmosphere in the Immortal City, Lin Chang'an nodded secretly as he walked along the market street.

"As expected of the number one rogue cultivator in Yue Kingdom, his power is truly extraordinary."

Simply announcing an auction could stir up the entire Yue Kingdom and even affect neighboring countries.

Seeing this, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but feel envious. Golden Core cultivators not only enjoy a lifespan of five hundred years, but also possess extraordinary supernatural powers that reach the heavens and the earth.

Every word and action can influence the course of a nation's destiny.

"It's inherently difficult for independent cultivators, but those who have reached this level are all powerful figures who command respect in their respective regions."

It must be admitted that any rogue cultivator who can make a name for themselves is generally three times better than disciples of sects or families among cultivators of the same level, whether in terms of combat experience or skills.

"A late-stage Tier 3 Xuan Shui Turtle, a spirit pet, can greatly enhance a cultivator's combat power."

Lu Zhenren, the number one rogue cultivator in Yue Kingdom, earned a large part of his reputation by fighting the Xuan Shui Turtle, so Lin Chang'an was also quite eager to try.

Although he didn't choose to raise a Xuan Shui Turtle, he had a Qing Jiao Niu.

"The Green Horned Ox has been well-trained over the years and is only one step away from breaking through to the second tier. When it does, having a second-tier spirit beast to protect it will greatly increase its safety."

Lin Chang'an nodded secretly. Generally speaking, monsters of the same level are three times stronger than cultivators. If the Green Horned Ox can advance smoothly, it will be of great help to him.

Even ordinary sect disciples don't receive this kind of treatment from a second-tier spirit beast.

"Although the auction is still half a year away, second-tier beast spirit pills are not as precious as foundation-building pills. I have a long way to go, and there is no need for the Green Horned Ox to use this inferior beast spirit pill to break through."

With that thought in mind, Lin Chang'an headed towards the Zhou family's location.

Many people know that he keeps a blue horn ox, so there's no need to hide it, especially since the blue horn ox is also at a crucial moment in his breakthrough.

He didn't need to go to great lengths to buy it elsewhere, and making friends with the Zhou family of Beast Tamers would also be beneficial for him as a rogue cultivator.

Cooperation benefits both sides.

……

"Brother Lin."

Upon entering the main hall of the Zhou family, Zhou Bingyun concealed her mischievous nature and instead gracefully poured tea and water for him herself.

Zhou Renmao, the head of the Zhou family, smiled and nodded at him, raising his teacup in a gesture of respect:
"Fellow Daoist Lin, this is freshly picked spiritual tea."

"That's really thanks to Fellow Daoist Zhou."

Lin Chang'an nodded with a smile. Since the last time he traded a Foundation Establishment Pill with the Zhou family, the relationship between the two sides had been very harmonious.

After all, he was just a rogue cultivator, and the Zhou family wanted to befriend him, a second-tier talisman master. Since there was no conflict of interest, everyone was naturally friends.

Sipping the finest spiritual tea, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but sigh, only by becoming a Foundation Establishment cultivator could one truly experience the joy that status brings.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, to be honest, I've come here to buy a Beast Spirit Pill." After putting down his teacup, Lin Chang'an explained his purpose with a smile. After all, the Zhou family, who were open to business, sometimes used this to exchange for resources.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Renmao, the head of the Zhou family, looked ashamed and cupped his hands in apology.
"This matter is still due to the Zhou family's lax discipline, which allowed the transaction to leak out and cause such great trouble for Fellow Daoist Lin."

Although Lin Chang'an did not mention the previous transaction, Zhou Renmao, as the head of the clan, was well aware that this was their problem.

If the news hadn't leaked, Lin Chang'an's Beast Spirit Pills wouldn't have been forcibly traded.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chang'an thought to himself, "Sure enough, there's something wrong with the Zhou family. Otherwise, how would Huang Shaohai have found out?"

The Zhou family suffered even greater losses. If the Zhou family hadn't investigated their own losses from the previous beast attack, the Beast Taming Zhou family wouldn't be in this predicament today.

"Patriarch Zhou, you flatter me."

"No, this is the fault of my Zhou family. The last time I heard my daughter mention this matter, it just so happens that the clan has recently refined a high-quality Beast Spirit Pill, which can be used to make amends."

It must be said that with the current chaotic situation, both sides have the idea of ​​getting closer to each other, making business negotiations easier.

In the end, Lin Chang'an exchanged a low-quality Beast Spirit Pill for a few second-tier talismans.

Zhou Renmao, the head of the Zhou family, also had a big smile on his face; this deal was very worthwhile.

Lin Chang'an is not only a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the second-tier talisman master level, but also has a close friendship with Yun Yao, the Ice Fairy of Li Huo Palace, and is also a guest elder of Tian Xuan City.

They deserve to be on good terms with the Zhou family.

More importantly, they knew Lin Chang'an very well. They could tell from his interactions with Qingzhushan Market and Erniu that he was grateful and repaying kindness, not the kind of person who would betray others for personal gain.

This is evident from the fact that even after becoming a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he has not forgotten his former Qi Refining friends.

……

Lin Chang'an, who had left the Zhou family, went to the Fangshi trading area.

"A first-grade, high-quality healing pill, no deception whatsoever."

"Just slaughtered a late-stage Tier 1 demon beast..."

The bustling market made Lin Chang'an sigh with emotion. Goods that were once rare to see in the small town of Qingzhushan Market were now readily available in Tianxuan City.

"The Zhou family truly deserves its reputation as a powerful clan that has stood the test of time for hundreds of years."

As Lin Chang'an walked down the street, he nodded to himself. Making connections with the Zhou family was in his best interest; after all, it didn't matter who he sold the second-tier talisman to.

Now that he has a high-quality Beast Spirit Pill, he only needs to find one or two more spiritual materials to help him break through to the next level. Once he returns, he can prepare for the Green Horned Ox to break through.

"According to Bingyun, different types and attributes of spirit beasts require different auxiliary spiritual materials before breaking through. I also exchanged two spirit herbs from the Zhou family before, but to be on the safe side, let's find one or two more."

Lin Chang'an secretly calculated that the situation was becoming increasingly chaotic, and his cultivation level would not improve much in the short term. In addition to cultivation level, external things could also help him improve his strength.

These external possessions, including spirit pets and magical artifacts, are all contained within.

Because top-grade magical artifacts contain many magic treasure-level materials, they are also called spiritual artifacts, although cultivators are used to this name.

However, a top-grade magic weapon is worth more than 500 mid-grade spirit stones. Among them, the flying needle magic weapon, which is recognized as the most difficult to refine, can fetch a price of nearly 1,000 mid-grade spirit stones.

Right now, he wants to buy a top-grade magic weapon like a flying needle, but he doesn't actually have that many mid-grade spirit stones in his storage bag.

"There are still six months until the auction. I need to save up enough spirit stones for a top-grade magic weapon before then, but right now the most urgent thing is for the Green Horned Ox to break through."

After pondering for a moment, Lin Chang'an planned how to improve his strength in order to deal with the potential crisis.

In this respect, we have to thank Huang Shaohai for allowing him to start preparing six months in advance.

He also kept it in mind.
