The one who spoke was Han Changming. If it was an ordinary spirit beast, he would naturally look down on it.
If you have a trace of mountain giant ape blood, it will be different, much better than ordinary spirit ape.
Old Man Xuan Ya's Taoist partner Chen Yingying also had a third-level Black Water Ape, which was extremely powerful, but it died at the hands of Taoist Qingfeng.
Han Changming has spiritual insects and spiritual birds, but he lacks a spiritual beast. If it is a first-level spiritual beast, he would not be very interested in it. However, this black water ape is a third-level spiritual beast and is also human-like, so it would be nice to buy it back as a servant.
"Words are not enough. How can you prove that this black water ape has the blood of the mountain giant ape?"
Han Changming wondered, he was worried that the goods might not be what he ordered.
"Hmph, that depends on what you bring out in exchange. If it's the same as his, there's no need to show it to you."
The man in the golden robe spoke in a cold tone, as if he didn't want to answer.
Han Changming took out a golden porcelain bottle, threw it to the man in the golden robe, and said, "This is the Golden Scale Jade Dew Pill I made. It has a pretty good healing effect. It's enough to exchange for this Black Water Ape!"
A top-grade Golden Scale Jade Dew Pill is worth more than 100,000 spirit stones. There are ten pills in a bottle, which are worth millions of spirit stones.
A top-grade magic weapon costs over a million spirit stones, which is almost the same as a bottle of Golden Scale Jade Dew Pill. However, top-grade magic weapons do not need to be reserved and can be purchased directly at large weapons stores. Top-grade healing pills are different and must be reserved in advance.
"Healing pills?"
The man in the golden robe took the golden porcelain bottle, uncorked it, and poured out a few light golden pills with multiple dan patterns on their surface.
The man in the golden robe was a little moved, and looked hesitant.
He didn't know the other person and was worried that the quality of the pill was not good.
"I know this senior. A few days ago, the fourth young lady of the Hundred Beasts Merchant Alliance was hanging out with him."
"I saw Miss Seven from the Beast Trade Union talking and laughing with him today. He shouldn't be a liar."
Han Changming took out a square token. The token was glowing all over and engraved with some monster patterns. It was the VIP token of the Hundred Beasts Merchant Alliance.
"It's the VIP token of the Beast Trade Union."
The young man in green took a deep breath. To be able to obtain the VIP token of the Hundred Beasts Merchant Alliance, one must be either particularly outstanding in some aspect or have a very powerful background.
Seeing the VIP token of the Beast Merchant Alliance, the golden-robed man's pupils shrank, his face froze, and he said politely: "My name is Wang Lei, may I know your name?"
"My last name is Han. Fellow Daoist Wang, can you let me see the bloodline of this beast?"
Han Changming said calmly, looking nonchalant.
Wang Lei quickly put on a smile and said, "Of course."
If it was an ordinary fourth-level alchemist, he would naturally not be so polite. The other party had the VIP token of the Hundred Beasts Merchant Alliance and could also have two young ladies from the Hundred Beasts Merchant Alliance accompany him in person. It was obvious that he was not an ordinary fourth-level alchemist.
Wang Lei flipped his hand and took out a light green bronze mirror. The mirror surface was engraved with patterns of fish, insects, birds and beasts. It was obviously a top-grade magic weapon.
"This is the Demon Detector Mirror, a treasure made by the Heavenly Beast Sect. It can test the blood of spirit beasts and insects. This black water ape has a trace of the blood of the mountain giant ape, so it has great potential."
Wang Lei spoke slowly and infused his magic power into the green bronze mirror. The patterns of fish, insects, birds and beasts seemed to come alive, making sounds of insects chirping, birds singing and beasts roaring, and emitting a misty green light that covered the Black Water Ape.
The Black Water Ape let out an angry roar, gesticulated, and the mirror blurred, and suddenly a giant golden ape appeared, with a wide mouth and fangs, looking extremely ferocious.
As soon as the golden giant ape's phantom appeared, it quickly dissipated, which showed that the bloodline of the Black Water Ape was very thin.
"Having a trace of Giant Mountain Ape blood? That's too rare!"
A contemptuous male sneer suddenly sounded, and Zheng Chenghua walked over.
"It's Fellow Daoist Zheng from the Five Immortals Alliance."
Someone recognized Zheng Chenghua's identity. Han Changming had met Zheng Chenghua once.
"I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Han likes to drive away insects and ward off beasts. No wonder you are so close to Fairy Fang."
Zheng Chenghua said with a smile, hinting at something.
"What? Daoyou Zheng is also interested in expelling insects and taming beasts?"
Han Changming asked politely.
"I have a few spirit beasts, but I'm not interested in them. If you have time, please come to the Five Immortals Alliance to have tea with me."
After saying this, Zheng Chenghua strode away, as if he was just passing by.
Han Changming looked at Zheng Chenghua's departing back with a thoughtful expression on his face. He felt that Zheng Chenghua was somewhat hostile, and he didn't know whether it was directed at him or Fang Yuruo.
He didn't want to take sides. If he had to, he would naturally stand on the side of the Hundred Beasts Merchant Alliance. Fang Yuruo and Fang Yufei treated Han Changming with great courtesy, and Fang Yufei had saved Han Changming. He had no reason to stand against the Hundred Beasts Merchant Alliance.
"Friend Han, this Black Water Ape is yours. This beast understands human nature, but it has a bit of a violent temper. Beat it up and then plant the restriction. This beast is proficient in water-attributed magical powers and can go deep into the seabed 100,000 feet to search for treasures. It will definitely be a great help."
Wang Lei said with a smile, took out a spirit beast bag, put the Black Water Ape in it, and handed it to Han Changming.
"Friend Wang, meeting is fate, why don't you come to my place to chat?"
Han Changming accepted the spirit beast bag and extended an invitation. He wanted to find out the origin of the Black Water Ape.
Wang Lei's eyes lit up. He was worried that he had no chance to get close to Han Changming! He agreed without hesitation.
Half an hour later, Han Changming and Wang Lei appeared in Qingjiao Pavilion.
Han Changming made tea and took Wang Lei away. After a few cups of tea, the two started chatting.
"Friend Wang, may I ask where did you get this black water ape?"
Han Changming asked curiously.
"It was obtained from an ancient monk's cave. The demon-detecting mirror was also obtained from an ancient monk's cave."
Wang Lei said in a sincere tone.
Han Changming naturally didn't believe it, but he could see that Wang Lei didn't want to say more.
"Friend Wang, I am very interested in this magic-detecting mirror. I wonder if you can part with it? The price is negotiable."
Han Changming started talking about business. If he could get this magic-detecting mirror, he could use it to detect the bloodlines of spiritual insects and beasts in the future, which would be much more convenient.
"This... I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Han, I really like this magic-detecting mirror and I don't plan to sell it for the time being."
Wang Lei declined politely.
Han Changming was a little disappointed and said with a smile: "Okay then!"
Wang Lei seemed to have sensed something and took out a palm-sized green compass from his arms. It glowed with light and he entered a spell, his face changing.
"I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Han, I have something urgent to deal with, so I'll take my leave now."
Wang Lei stood up and said goodbye, looking flustered.
"Take care, Mr. Wang. Come sit with me some other time when you have time."
Han Changming saw Wang Lei off and walked into the basement. He took out a spirit beast bag, threw it forward, and entered a spell. After a flash of light passed by, the Black Water Ape appeared on the ground.
As soon as the beast appeared, it let out an angry roar, emitted a blue sound wave, and strode towards Han Changming.
Han Changming was well prepared. He sacrificed the Qianyang Gourd and cast a spell. A shrill whistling sound was heard, and a large piece of yellow sand with a shining glow flew out. The yellow sand spun around and turned into a yellow sand wall, blocking Han Changming in front of him.
The blue sound waves hit the yellow sand wall, but the yellow sand wall was like a solid wall of iron and steel, not moving at all.
The Black Water Ape rushed over, waving its fists and smashing into the yellow sand wall.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the yellow sand wall shattered into pieces and turned into countless yellow gravels. These yellow gravels suddenly condensed and turned into a burly yellow giant, who was the Earth Guardian.
The right fist of the Shutu warrior was wrapped in a yellow light and smashed towards the Xuanshui Ape.
The Black Water Ape was not afraid at all and swung his right fist to meet the attack.
With a muffled "bang", a powerful air wave swept over and the entire stone chamber shook violently.
Han Changming's eyes flashed with surprise. The Shutu Hercules was a top-grade magic weapon, and this Black Water Ape was only a lower-grade third-rank magic weapon. It was actually able to fight against the Shutu Hercules without losing. It was really impressive.
Han Changming's magic spell changed, and the body of the Earth Guardian emitted a yellow light. The Black Water Ape felt a huge force coming at it, and its body flew backwards uncontrollably.
Before it could stand up, the Earth Guardian rushed over and swung his fists at the Black Water Ape.
There was a loud rumbling sound. The Black Water Ape was no match for the Shutu Warrior. It punched the Shutu Warrior with a punch, causing a muffled sound.
Qianyang Sand is both hard and soft, and its changes are unpredictable. It is not something that a third-level black water ape can break.
If the Qianyang Gourd is promoted to a spiritual treasure, Han Changming will use this magical power of the Earth Guardian Warrior to become even more powerful.
Half a minute later, the Black Water Ape let out a shrill roar, as if begging for mercy.
"Let me plant the ban, and work for me in the future. I will not treat you unfairly."
Han Changming spoke in a gentle voice.
The Black Water Ape looked hesitant and was clearly still somewhat resistant.
Han Changming took out two oval blue fruits. The Black Water Ape's eyes lit up. He patted his chest with his arms and lowered his head to show his submission.
Han Changming smiled, planted three bans in one breath, and threw two blue fruits to the Black Water Ape.
The Black Water Ape wasn't polite either and ate two blue fruits in no time.
"Come back and recuperate first! You will be of great help in the future."
Han Changming patted the spirit beast bag and gave orders.
He had just tamed the Black Water Ape, and if he wanted to make it obedient, he would need to train it for some time.
The Black Water Ape seemed to understand Han Changming's words and turned into a blue light and flew into the spirit beast bag on Han Changming's waist.
Han Changming sat cross-legged and meditated to regulate his breathing.
Five days passed quickly.
Early in the morning, when the sky was just bright,
There was a long queue at the entrance of the Palace of Beasts. Today was the day of the auction. The Hundred Beasts Merchant Alliance only held a large auction once every two hundred years and had prepared a lot of resources for cultivating immortals.
Han Changming looked at the long line and was secretly surprised. There were quite a few Nascent Soul cultivators queuing up. This was the Hundred Beasts Market. There must be even more high-level cultivators in the Ten Thousand Spirits Market. Compared with the markets in the outer sea, the standards of the Hundred Beasts Market were obviously much higher.
"Friend Han, what a coincidence!"
A familiar voice suddenly sounded. Han Changming turned his head and saw Wang Lei walking towards him with a smile on his face.
"Good morning, Mr. Wang!"
Han Changming greeted with a smile.
Liu Guangsheng walked over quickly and said politely, "Senior Han, Miss Four and Miss Seven have instructed that if you come over, they will take you in. The VIP room has been prepared for you."
Seeing this scene, all the monks were filled with envy.
Han Changming followed Liu Guangsheng into the Palace of Beasts, causing a lot of discussion among the cultivators.
"Who is this person? How could he be so valued by the Fourth and Seventh Young Ladies of the Hundred Beasts Merchant Alliance?"
"I don't know him, but he must be a core disciple of a major sect! Otherwise, why would Fairy Fang take him so seriously?"
"Hey, I've seen this person. A few days ago, he was wandering around the street with Fairy Fang. It is said that he is a fourth-level alchemist who can refine top-grade elixirs."
"A fourth-level alchemist? No wonder. A fourth-level alchemist who can make top-grade elixirs is highly valued wherever he goes."
······
Wang Lei showed an envious expression on his face. Fourth-level alchemists are different. They enjoy special privileges. They don’t have to queue and can enter the venue directly, and there is also a VIP room.
The Palace of Beasts has nine floors in total. The hall is spacious and bright. In the center there is a circular platform over a hundred feet in size. On the platform are a green wooden table and two wooden benches.
Han Changming followed Liu Guangsheng into a VIP room on the third floor. The VIP room was over a hundred feet in size. A green mirror about a foot in size was embedded on the stone wall, and the scene of the auction venue was displayed on the mirror.
There was a green wooden table and several green wooden stools in the room, and on the wooden table was a pot of steaming tea and two plates of snacks.
"Senior Han, if you want to bid, just inject magic power into this sound transmission stone and speak. If you need anything, just tell me. I'll be waiting outside."
Liu Guangsheng took out a light green stone and handed it to Han Changming.
The green stone was covered with mysterious runes, and it was obviously a magical weapon.
Liu Guangsheng's face was full of flattery. It was the first time he saw Fang Yuruo and Fang Yufei attach so much importance to a Nascent Soul cultivator.
"Got it. I'll call you if anything happens."
Han Changming waved his hand and Liu Guangsheng tactfully withdrew.
It is easy to become an official if you have someone in the court. Han Changming never thought that he would be treated so well.
He knew very well that Fang Yufei and Fang Yuruo were impressed by his alchemy skills.
After a cup of tea, accompanied by a melodious bell sound, two men with very similar facial features flew onto the circular platform.
An old man in a green robe, who is short and fat, with a round face and small eyes, has a smile on his face, giving people an approachable feeling. The other man is tall and strong, with bright eyes, giving people a shrewd feeling.
"I'm Lin Fan, this is my brother Lin Hong. We're hosting this auction, the highest bidder wins. If you don't have enough spirit stones, you can use treasures. I won't waste any more words, let's start bidding now."
The old man in green robe gave a brief introduction, then took out ten porcelain bottles of different colors and said loudly, "Ten top-grade Infant Transformation Pills, which can help Jindan cultivators reach the Nascent Soul stage. They were personally refined by Master Ximen of the Hundred Beasts Merchant Alliance. They are auctioned separately, with a starting price of 500,000 spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than 100,000."
"Five hundred thousand!"
"Six hundred thousand!"
"Seven hundred thousand!"
······
The sounds of bidding came one after another, and Han Changming could hear them clearly.
It would be great if a magic pill to assist in forming a fetus turned up at a large auction in the outer sea, but at the auction held by the Hundred Beasts Merchant Alliance, ten fetus-transforming pills were taken out at once, showing how wealthy they were.
Han Changming thought of his clansmen in the outer sea. If he could bring these ten Infant Transformation Pills back to the family, the clan leader would be able to reach the Nascent Soul stage!
