[Cultivation] Asking for a sword

Gu Cheng is not very interested in these islands. Although there are some features on them, they are nothing compared to Tianyun City, the largest stronghold of the Loose Cultivation Alliance.

He doesn't have a flying spirit weapon, so he can only take a special boat to and from the island. Speaking of which, there are still some special features in the Southern Wilderness Sea Area, that is, the distance between monks and mortals here is not as huge as inland, and many mortals I even saw many monks with my own eyes.

Some large fishing boats can even hire some low-level monks to escort them, in order to prevent the intrusion of sea monsters and catch some rare fish and discover resources.

Although Gu Cheng was a little surprised, that was all. He focused more on the area facing the monks.

Although he spent a lot of time in Tianyun City, most of his wanderings were in major shops, and apart from these, there were some special places in the city.

Hai Ling Pavilion, which specializes in selling sea monsters, and a secret field specializing in slave trading.

It's okay to say that the former is just a difference in the rise of different geographical features, but the latter's open and honest sales are somewhat rare. It is said that most of the sales are slaves of the Sea Clan.

Gu Cheng was curious, but he went to Hailing Pavilion first.

Not only in Tianyun City, but also in several other islands, this shop is very famous, with a big signboard hung high, with a total of seven floors, and the construction is extremely good.

After Gu Cheng walked in, he didn't see a monster, and the decoration was not much different from other shops. At this time, a monk in the Qi training period immediately came up to ask.

"What to look at, we have most of the monsters that can be captured in Hailing Pavilion!"

Gu Cheng took a jade slip handed over by the other party, and found that it was full of introductions and prices of various sea monsters.

This is very convenient. Gu Cheng took a closer look and saw one who was interested, so he couldn't help but ask, "How about this golden breath fish?"

Although there is a detailed introduction above, there are no specific images.

This golden breath fish is not considered powerful, not even a monster, but it has sharp teeth and a violent temperament. It is very simple to cultivate and the price is not expensive. One spirit stone is one, and the only good function is to solidify it. Long-term feeding of spirit stones can make it slowly crystallize, and finally form a crystal similar to intermediate spirit stones.

But someone has calculated that to obtain such a crystal, one needs to consume at least three hundred low-level spirit stones, which is not very cost-effective.

Gu Cheng walked up to the second floor, and under the leadership of the monk, he arrived in front of a huge pool.

There are all kinds of fish stocked inside, but there are not many of each kind, and they are separated by a transparent gauze.

The monk pointed to the few pale golden fishes inside and said, "That's the golden breath fish."

Gu Cheng took a closer look and looked a bit like a piranha, with a mouth full of fangs.

Gu Xi suddenly said, "Come closer, why does this one look a bit like a crystal-eating fish?"

Gu Cheng asked calmly: "What is a crystal-eating fish?"

"The mutant species of the golden breath fish, but it is much more powerful. It only eats intermediate spirit stones, and after a period of time, it will lose its scales containing aura. This kind of thing was once raised by someone who could compare with the best spirit stones. Fish, and the value of these fish scales is also very good, it is relatively small, but the worst is a high-level spirit stone."

Gu Cheng was stunned for a moment. High-level spirit stones are different from intermediate-level spirit stones. Intermediate-level spirit stones can still be obtained for 200 yuan, but high-level spirit stones have always been monopolized by large sects. However, there are many places where high-level spirit stones can work. Many advanced formations and puppets are needed for charging.

"Then how did you recognize them? I think they all look exactly the same!"

"This mutated crystal-eating fish is not much different from ordinary golden-breathing fish, but this kind of fish will never crystallize when fed with low-level spirit stones, and its scales have less spiritual energy than ordinary golden-breathing fish. But even so, ordinary monks can't tell the difference."

Only then did Gu Cheng understand, and at the same time he was a little tempted, and asked Gu Xi how many intermediate spirit stones he needed to feed one.

"In the first stage, you can feed it a hundred or so, and then it will start to shed its scales. I just don't know whether it will directly crystallize or continue to grow. I heard that feeding more five-leaf clover can make it Accelerate evolution."

Gu Cheng did the math, and it was not a loss, so he said to the monk: "I want everything in here."

Although Gu Xi said that only one of these golden breath fish was a mutated crystal-eating fish, but in order not to attract attention, Gu Cheng still wanted it directly.

By the way, he also bought a special spirit animal bag, but when he paid the bill, this bag was more expensive than the fish he bought.

Gu Cheng simply bought two more spirit animal bags, planning to go to Taotao again to see if he could find any more bargains.

But it's a pity that the monks who can hang around here are not stupid. No matter how knowledgeable Gu Xi is, it's hard to say after tens of thousands of years. Hailing Pavilion, who can directly sell these monsters, obviously understands their value better. .

Although Gu Cheng also took a fancy to some powerful monsters, they were either too expensive or not easy to tame.

If you plan to start cultivating from animal eggs, the price will be more expensive, and it will take a long time.

In the end, Gu Cheng took a fancy to the eggs of a kind of Xueming beast. Generally, it takes 100 years to reach maturity. If stimulated by secret techniques for about seven or eight years, it can enter the foundation-building stage, but the potential is only in the early stage of foundation-building stage. The lifespan will also be greatly shortened, and you can only live for 30 years, but just like this, you need [-] spirit stones.

You can even buy a top-grade spiritual weapon. This is simply a money grab.

However, he still bought it cruelly. After all, a spiritual pet in the foundation-building period is still very useful. Besides, after 30 years, he must have already entered the foundation-building period, and he may not be able to use it by then.

Looking at the remaining one spirit animal bag and his own storage bag with only four thousand spirit stones left, Gu Cheng pouted, not daring to keep any more.

Changing the road, he was going to visit the secret field, but people who passed by Tianyun City may not have heard of this place, and he only heard of it by accident after staying here for more than a month.

The location of the secret field is quite hidden. It is under a casino in the northeast corner of Tianyun City. After walking two small roads and passing the envious gamblers in the casino, Gu Cheng went directly to the casino owner and told him about his In order to come, I paid a deposit of one hundred spirit stones.

Only then did I enter the secret field. To be honest, this place is indeed not a secret anymore. As long as you have a spirit stone, you can enter.

Gu Cheng looked around, the place below was much bigger than the casino above.

There are also many monks coming and going, some of them are followed by one or more sea people who are similar to humans and have some differences.

When Gu Cheng was dazzled, a small man who looked quite young walked up to him, and his cultivation level of only one level of Qi training would not make Gu Cheng vigilant, and then he heard the other party say: "This is the first time for seniors to come here. Secret field, right?"

Gu Cheng nodded: "Indeed."

The little man said immediately; "I grew up here, if senior is willing, can you let me do some simple introductions, it's not expensive, just a low-level spirit stone is enough."

Gu Cheng thought about it, and directly popped a spirit stone into the opponent's hand with his fingertips: "Let's talk while walking."

"Well, the slaves in this secret field are divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower. The best is the foundation building stage, and then the qi training stage. The worst is that they are a little stronger than ordinary people. They can be taken back to do coolies. The first two One can be used to harvest mending, as a furnace." He put the spirit stone into his arms and asked:

"What do seniors need?"

Gu Cheng shook his head: "It's just the first time I've heard of it, so come and have a look."

"Senior, you came from the inland! It is true that there are very few people who sell slaves in private, but the people who are sold here are all exterminated Hai people. Without a backer, they can only be here. "The little man explained.

Gu Cheng looked at the Sea Clans that were being bundled up for sale one by one on the stage. In fact, they were not much different from humans in appearance, except that they had an extra pair of fins and some scales. However, there were also some that were quite different from humans, but their faces were full of scars. numbness and despair.

If the humanoids are beautiful and the price is higher, they can be bought back to serve. On the contrary, most of them are used as coolies. Gu Cheng looked at them for a while and felt that he was not very interested. Many of the same kind have died, but they still don't have much interest in things like slaves.

As for feeling cruel and wanting to stop this phenomenon, it is impossible. According to the comparison of the previous strengths of the Sea Clan and humans, he believes that there are Sea Clan people here as slaves, and there must be humans as slaves on the Sea Clan side. There is no way to tell.

At this time, there was a sudden loud explosion, and Gu Cheng was startled. Looking back, he saw that on the innermost stone platform, there was a Sea Clan who revealed himself when the transaction was over and the forbidden spirit ring was removed, blood and flesh splashed everywhere, and then There were shouts and curses from buyers and bosses.

The little man said: "The slave seems to be from the Wushui tribe. Now the people of the Wushui tribe are miserable."

Gu Cheng frowned, but didn't say anything. He walked all the way through these high platforms, and suddenly asked, "What's the price of slaves here?"

The little man hurriedly said: "The most expensive one has sold for a price of 100 spirit stones, but the highest cultivation level here is only in the foundation building period, and they are all between [-] and [-] spirit stones. The cheapest one in the Qi training period is [-] yuan. , you can buy more than a dozen spirit stones for [-] yuan with no cultivation base."

Gu Xi asked: "Why do you want to take one back, kid? Your uncle will definitely not agree to it. If you let it go, you might be caught back. Don't be so stupid and impulsive!"

Gu Cheng was speechless: "I haven't done anything yet? You're just drawing conclusions for me. And this kind of thing, what gave you the illusion that my heart is easy to soften?"

"Your age! Yes, you have a dark heart! Then what do you want to do?"

Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows. He has lived for decades, and he has long understood what can be done and what is worthless.

It's just that every man has a dream about a mermaid in his heart, and he is obviously not an exception.

So Gu Cheng asked the little man directly: "Is there any sea tribe with a human upper body and a fish lower body?"

"Are you talking about the Chi Rong clan?" The little man frowned, "That is an extremely powerful Hai clan, so it is naturally impossible for us to sell their clansmen here."

Then he approached Gu Cheng and said in a low voice: "We have a rule that those powerful Hai Clan cannot be traded."

Gu Cheng nodded, expressing his understanding that in this world, being weak is the biggest mistake.

Gu Xidao: "Why are you inquiring about the Chi Rong race? People of their race have the strength to form alchemy when they reach adulthood, it's not something you can provoke now!"

Gu Cheng tactfully expressed his love for the beauty with long fish tail.

As a result, Gu Xi was silent for a long time, and only after a long time did he say: "Do you like men?"

"Ah?" Gu Cheng felt a little innocent.

"The Chirong tribe only has males, not females."
