Under the leadership of Liu Qian, Ye Zan came to a well-hidden shop located in the deepest part of a deep alley. The shop did have a sign, but there was nothing written on it, it was just a giant centipede that looked extremely ferocious.
This giant centipede is completely black, more than one meter long, has thick wrists, and its densely packed legs are very eye-catching. This big centipede is not painted on the signboard, nor is it a specimen, but a living centipede crawling on the signboard.
With a sign like this, it's no wonder that shops are placed here. If it were placed on the street, it would affect the appearance of the city too much.
The door of the shop was not open, but half-closed, with only a small crack exposed. Looking in through the crack in the door, nothing can be seen in the pitch black, only some strange noises can be heard from time to time.
Liu Qian stepped forward, raised his hand and knocked on the ajar door.
Following the sound of kicking footsteps, a fat little black man about fourteen or fifteen years old opened the door from the inside. After glancing at everyone, he turned back and walked in, saying: "Come in, see for yourself what you want." ”
"This little brother, I would like to ask, where is the original owner of this shop?" Liu Qian asked curiously after following the shop.
"Hey, it looks like he's still an old customer!" The fat little black man turned around and glanced at Liu Qian, and then said: "My grandfather went back to the mountains to retire a few years ago, so don't think that just because I'm pretending to be an old customer. I’ll give you a discount. You guys from outside the mountains can’t fool me.”
Liu Qian suddenly looked embarrassed.
Ye Zan was amused, but he didn't say anything. He raised his eyes and looked around the store. This is indeed a vood-related shop. There are some gourds for cultivating voodoos hanging on the wall, as well as some tools used to attract insects and refine voodoos. The front is a medicine cabinet full of small drawers like those in a drug store, but what is inside is not medicine for treating people's illnesses, but various herbs used to nourish poisonous insects, some of which are highly poisonous.
"What do you want to buy?" the fat little black man asked Ye Zan.
"How did you know it was me who wanted to buy something?" Ye Zan asked.
The fat little black man curled his lips, pointed at Liu Qian and Qi Qianjun, and said, "Do you still need to ask? There is a guide in front and a bodyguard in the back. You are not the only one who wants to buy something while you are walking."
"I want to buy some materials for refining the insect nest. I wonder if you have any here." Ye Zan said with a smile.
"Want to refine the insect nest?" The little black fat man looked Ye Zan up and down and said unceremoniously: "Raising voodoo is a hard job. Don't listen to anyone and think it's not a big deal. I think you should raise one first. Let’s take a look.”
"Thank you for your kindness, little brother." Ye Zan said politely.
"It's not a good intention," the little black fat man waved his hand and said in a very disdainful tone: "I'm afraid that you will ruin those Gu insects. I have seen people like you a lot, and I heard some rumors from somewhere and thought that It’s as if you can be invincible by refining the Gu, but you won’t be able to stand it for a few days, and in the end it’s the Gu insects that are unlucky.”
In the eyes of people who don't understand, raising Gu is just raising a lot of bugs, throwing in some rotten meat and vegetables, just to keep them alive. But in fact, there are a lot of details inside. Only those who have truly raised them will know that it is very difficult to even keep them alive, let alone improve their strength and manipulate them to fight against the enemy.
Just like in the age of the earth, some people immediately like cats and dogs as soon as they see them. However, after I bought it and played with it for two days, I realized that it was very troublesome to raise. It had to be scooped out, and there were hair everywhere in the house. As a result, there was a period when the city was filled with stray cats and dogs.
However, Ye Zan's desire to raise Gu was not impulsive. Although not much time has passed since I remembered it, it can be considered a thorough consideration after all.
"So, what do you want to buy?" After the little black fat man said this, he asked Ye Zan again.
However, Ye Zan had no intention of changing his mind. He took out a list and said, "I need the materials for refining the insect nest. Do you have any here?"
What I just said about co-authoring was in vain, right? The fat little black man glared at Liu Qian who was snickering next to him, then turned to Ye Zan and said, "Don't make any insect nests. I have some ready-made ones here, you can take a look."
Of course it would be nice to have something ready-made. Now that Ye Zan really talks about it, he still can’t refine the insect nest. After all, it’s just a foundation-building level cultivation. He bought these materials just to prepare for his promotion to Jindan. Anyway, when he comes here, he will prepare what he can buy.
"Okay, let me take a look." So, Ye Zan nodded and said.
"These insect nests are all left by those who wanted to raise Gu on impulse. The things are all good, but it's a pity that they didn't find a good owner. You can take a look at them as you like." As the little black fat man said, he started from Qiankun Ring Inside, various insect nests were taken out and placed on the counter.
This insect nest is actually a magic weapon to accommodate Gu insects. It is not the kind of nest built by the insects in nature. Therefore, they are all different in appearance. After all, everyone has different aesthetics.
The insect nests that the little black fat man took out ranged from small tripods to brocade bags to gourds to wine bottles. There are good-looking ones, ugly ones, and there is even one that is just a miniature termite nest. It can be said to be full of weird things.
Ye Zan looked at them all the way, and found that the quality of these insect nests was almost the same, and they were all at the level of low-grade magic weapons. The only difference is that some spaces are larger and some spaces are smaller. There is not much difference in functionality.
However, even the one with the largest space is not satisfactory to Ye Zan. You know, Zerg are not those small insects. Although there are some small ones, most of them are still huge. The insect nest with the largest space would probably be filled with just one brain worm, and there would be no room for other insects.
"Why, you're not satisfied?" the fat little black man asked with a frown.
"Is there a larger space? I want to raise Gu worms, not those little things." Ye Zan shook his head and said.
"More space?" The fat little black man scratched his head when he heard this request.
Generally speaking, in this world, when it comes to Gu insects, they are all small in size, and the big centipede on the sign outside is considered unusual. It is said that the most powerful Gu insect can even be invisible to people. It is definitely a terrifying existence that kills people invisible. The most common ones, such as poisonous locusts and golden cicadas, are only about the size of a finger, and any insect nest can accommodate thousands or tens of thousands of them.
"What on earth are you..." The little black fat man originally wanted to ask Ye Zan what kind of Gu he wanted to raise, but he still remembered the rules and did not continue to ask. Instead, he thought for a moment and took out another strange thing.
To say this thing is strange is because it looks like a stone, and it is a palm-sized stone. However, there are some holes densely covered in this stone, like honeycombs of different sizes, looking like a stone-colored sponge.
"Is this thing also an insect nest?" Ye Zan asked curiously.
"Well... that's it." The fat little black man replied awkwardly.
Liu Qian was a little dissatisfied beside him and said: "If it is, it is, if it is not, it is not, what does it mean?"
"Don't interrupt if you don't understand," the fat little black man replied without any sign of weakness, and then explained to Ye Zan: "This is not a refined insect nest, but a strange stone from outside the territory. See Are these holes? Each hole has a huge space, even if it can fit this ancient city, it will be no problem. "
Hearing this, Ye Zan and others were a little surprised, but at the same time they were also a little unbelievable. If there really is such a big space, wouldn't this stone be comparable to the secret realm? Even if it is just used for storage, it can hold much more than the Qiankun Ring.
Seeing Ye Zan's disbelief, the little black fat man seemed a little annoyed and said: "Let me tell you, when we do business in the Southern Wilderness, we always pay attention to genuine goods. Although this stone has a huge space, if you put things in it, , will be sucked out of spiritual energy, only living creatures can avoid being sucked out of spiritual energy."
General storage magic weapons, such as the Hundred Treasure Bag Qiankun Ring, can only store dead objects but not living objects. And this stone, according to what the fat little black man said, can only accept living things, but cannot release dead ones. However, this cannot be said to be a shortcoming of this stone. You must know that in this world, magic weapons that can collect living creatures are rarer and more precious than things like the Qiankun Ring.
For example, the Beast Taming Sect has a magic weapon called the Beast Taming Circle, which can only be used to collect a monster beast or a mount, but the price is higher than the ordinary Qiankun Ring. Even the Yuqing Sect, although they were a little richer now, was not so luxurious as to equip Ye Zan and his companions with animal harnesses. So much so that when they stay in a hotel, they have to leave their horses to the care of the store.
"It's not bad if you can collect living animals!" Liu Qian said from the side. Of course, that's what he said, but there was still a strong sense of disbelief in his tone. Just compare it to the beast-taming circle. If this stone was really that powerful, its value would probably be thousands of times that of the beast-taming circle.
"That's right. This thing does not absorb the spiritual energy of living creatures, but living creatures cannot get a trace of spiritual energy in it, and it will lose spiritual energy over time." The little black fat man said in frustration.
Obviously, this fat little black guy is not a business material at all. He actually belittled his own things over and over again, exposing all his shortcomings. If he hadn't said the following words, he would have definitely sold this stone for a sky-high price just because it could accommodate living creatures. Of course, if he really sold it like that, this store would have been smashed long ago.
"Oh, you finally said it!" Liu Gan pointed at the little black fat man and said with a mocking face: "You have already said that even living creatures cannot stay in here for long, and you still think about it. Let people use it to raise Gu?”
"You!" The fat little black man was stunned, blinked twice, turned to look at Ye Zan, and said: "Look, you said you want a big space, and I only have this one that is big enough. As for other things, I can’t solve the problem, so you might as well look at other insect nests.” (To be continued.)
