It is not easy for a casual cultivator to maintain his own cultivation, let alone cultivate spiritual beasts and birds. The initial investment in cultivating spiritual beasts is too high, and there are very few casual cultivators who master a skill. Cheng Guangbei only knows how to hunt monsters, so naturally he does not have the financial resources to cultivate spiritual beasts and birds.
Han Changming felt a little regretful. He didn't expect that Cheng Guangbei actually had a spirit beast egg with thunder attribute. It would be great if he could buy this spirit beast egg.
Cheng Guangbei got a pot of spirit wine and sat back in his seat contentedly.
One after another, cultivators came forward and took out items for exchange. The things they took out were varied, including alchemy materials, weapon refining materials, talismans, and even many strange and peculiar things. Han Changming and Ye Xin were amazed.
Some people succeeded in the exchange, while others failed. This is also normal.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Cheng Guangbei walked forward and took out more than a dozen materials, including magic tools, talismans, and monster materials. There were quite a lot of things.
"Exchange for the second-level spirit wine, the brewer is also fine."
Han Changming and Ye Xin smiled at each other. Cheng Guangbei did not exchange elixirs, but instead exchanged spiritual wine and winemaking recipes. He was a real drunkard.
Several foundation-building cultivators stepped forward to exchange, and Cheng Guangbei succeeded in the exchange. As for what it was, Han Changming had no idea.
Han Changming walked forward, took out two porcelain bottles, and said, "One bottle of diluted third-level spiritual water, and one bottle of spiritual liquid that can increase spiritual consciousness, in exchange for beast spirit pills, strange insects and beasts, ice-attributed spiritual medicines, or second-level pill recipes."
Considering that it was an exchange meeting organized by Long Yaowen, Han Changming did not take out too many things. The Golden Dragon Sea is rich in immortal cultivation resources, and Han Changming can be said to have exchanged with other cultivators, which should not arouse Long Yaowen's suspicion.
When the disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect heard the words "Beast Spirit Pill", they did not take it seriously. The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect did not produce many Beast Spirit Pills, and not many of them flowed out. Most of them were sold domestically.
Han Changming uncorked the bottle, and a stream of pure spiritual energy wafted out, moving the cultivators present.
The young man in green robes' eyes lit up and he walked over quickly. Several foundation-building monks also walked over.
"My name is Wei Yuan. May I ask fellow Taoist what kind of spiritual water is this?"
The young man in green asked politely.
"I don't know either. A casual cultivator sold it to me. I diluted it and used it to make pills."
Han Changming spoke vaguely and handed the white porcelain bottle containing spiritual water to Wei Yuan.
Wei Yuan took the porcelain bottle, sniffed it a few times, and said in a deep voice: "How about I exchange a bottle of beast spirit pill for your bottle of spirit water?"
A bottle of beast spirit pill costs one thousand spirit stones, and there are ten pills in total, each costing one hundred spirit stones. An independent cultivator really cannot afford to raise a spirit beast.
"One bottle is too little. This is a third-level spiritual water. I need at least three bottles of beast spiritual pills."
Han Changming diluted the spiritual water in a ratio of one to three and used it to make pills, which could improve the quality of the pills.
"I am willing to exchange two second-level pill recipes."
"I'll exchange it for a three hundred year old ice-attribute elixir."
Other foundation-building monks spoke up one after another, they all wanted to exchange for this bottle of spiritual water.
"Wait, I'll take two more eggs of the Five-Colored Wind Spirit Butterfly. The Five-Colored Wind Spirit Butterfly ranks 60th on the Heaven and Earth Wonderful Insects List. It is good at hiding and Phoenix magic, and its flying speed is relatively fast. This kind of spirit insect has great magical powers. The Five-Colored Phoenix Spirit Butterfly must be cultivated to the third level before it can turn into a butterfly. A large amount of immortal cultivation resources must be invested in the early stage. However, once it is cultivated to the third level, its magical powers far exceed those of other third-level spirit insects. If it weren't for the high investment in the early stage, the Five-Colored Phoenix Spirit Butterfly would be ranked higher."
Wei Yuanshi took out a green wooden box, opened it and saw two five-colored insect eggs the size of eggs inside.
"Master Liu of the Myriad Beast Sect has raised two five-colored wind spirit butterflies, and their Taoist name is Spirit Butterfly Fairy. With the help of the third-level five-colored wind spirit butterflies, Master Liu was able to fight one against two without losing the slightest advantage."
Long Yaowen thought for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist Hu, it is not easy to cultivate the Five-Colored Wind Spirit Butterfly. It requires a lot of cultivation resources in the early stage. If you don't want to raise it, you can sell it to other Daoists."
Wei Yuan once wanted to sell the eggs of the Five-Colored Phoenix Butterfly to Long Yaowen, but Long Yaowen felt that the cultivation time of the Five-Colored Phoenix Butterfly was too long, and it could only provide help when it was cultivated to the third level. It would be better to cultivate other spirit beasts, which could provide help after being cultivated to the second level.
"What? You can only transform into a butterfly after you have cultivated it to the third level?"
Han Changming had an expression of surprise on his face and his brows were furrowed.
According to the growth period, the spirit butterfly is divided into four growth stages: egg, silkworm, pupa and butterfly. The five-colored phoenix spirit butterfly needs to be cultivated to the third stage before it can transform into a butterfly. Before that, it cannot provide much help to the cultivator.
The Purple Crystal Flying Scorpion ranks 52nd on the List of Strange Insects of Heaven and Earth, and the Five-Colored Phoenix Butterfly ranks 60th. Their magical powers should not be too weak. Han Changming has the Taiyi Hualing Gourd in his hand, so he can afford it. As for whether he can cultivate it to the third level, Han Changming is not sure.
Of course, he still had to act embarrassed.
Long Yaowen felt that the training time was too long. Han Changming was just a foundation-building cultivator from a small family, so he naturally couldn't act too relaxed.
Wei Yuan thought for a moment and said, "How about this! Add three more beast spirit pills. If Fellow Daoist Hu doesn't want to, forget it."
"After all, the Five-Colored Phoenix Butterfly is a spiritual insect on the Heaven and Earth Wonderful Insects List. It lays very few eggs, and you may not be able to buy it even if you have spiritual stones. If Fellow Daoist Hu finds it troublesome, you can sell it to other cultivators or a spiritual beast shop. After all, your spiritual water is diluted, and the price given by Senior Brother Wei is not low."
The girl in the blue skirt spoke slowly, speaking well of Wei Yuan.
Han Changming showed an excited expression on his face, and after hesitating for a while, he agreed.
"Fellow Daoist Hu, can this spiritual fluid of yours really increase spiritual awareness?"
Fairy Hongchen asked curiously. There are not many things that can increase spiritual awareness. The Spirit Nourishing Pill can increase spiritual awareness, but the amount of increase is not much.
"I have taken some, and it does help. The exact amount of increase depends on the individual."
The other foundation-building monks carefully identified it, but they could not tell what kind of spiritual liquid it was, nor did they know whether it was real or not.
Several foundation-building cultivators made offers, but Han Changming still exchanged with Fairy Hongchen. He used the Nine Yuan Divine Refining Liquid to exchange for three hundred-year-old Ice Glass Grasses.
Han Changming walked back to his original position, and Ye Xin stepped forward and took out a dozen materials. She wanted to exchange them for ice-attributed elixirs or pill recipes, but unfortunately, the exchange was unsuccessful.
Other cultivators came forward one after another to exchange. Not long after, Wei Yuan came forward and took out more than a dozen things, which were either insect eggs or spirit beast eggs.
"Exchange for spiritual water, spiritual fluid, or other spiritual beast eggs or spiritual insect eggs."
The Wanshou Sect is well-known in the East China Sea's immortal cultivation world for its ability to repel insects and tame beasts. As a disciple of the Wanshou Sect, Wei Yuan's spirit beast eggs and spirit insect eggs were obviously better than those sold in the spirit beast shop. More than a dozen foundation-building cultivators stepped forward to exchange with him.
Wei Yuan successfully exchanged and his face was full of joy.
Wei Yuan returned to his original position, and Fairy Hongchen stepped forward. She took out some monster materials and said, "Exchange for medium-grade elixirs, either to improve your magic power or to detoxify."
Mid-grade elixirs are more precious, but Fairy Hongchen took out more materials, so she still exchanged them for mid-grade elixirs. As for what kind of elixir it was, Han Changming had no idea.
The exchange meeting lasted for more than three hours. In addition to exchanging items, they also discussed their experiences in cultivation, alchemy, and weapon refining. Han Changming asked Wei Yuan about the art of expelling insects. Wei Yuan gave a brief explanation and Han Changming benefited from it.
"Okay, that's all for today. On the day when the Golden Dragon Meeting is officially held, the market will hold many competitions. We welcome all Taoist friends to participate actively. You can get rewards if you get a good ranking."
Long Yaowen said enthusiastically, encouraging all the monks to participate in the competitions held in the market.
