Chapter 82: Dark Beast Bones
"You may be disappointed. The Shocking Stone is quite rare. We don't sell it in this building, and I'm afraid there are no stores in the entire Kanghai City that have it in stock."
After the old man approached, he said with a hint of apology, without the slightest arrogance of a high-level monk.
Although Qin Tian was a little disappointed when he heard this, he did not dare to be rude and quickly cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you, senior, for your advice. I'm very grateful, junior. In that case, I'll take my leave first!"
After saying that, Qin Tian turned around and walked out of the door. He left just as quickly as he came.
The old man behind him looked at Qin Tian's retreating figure, shook his head and sat back at the counter...
After half a day, Qin Tian traveled throughout Kanghai City, but almost all the shops did not sell the Shock Stone.
Although Qin Tian was disappointed with this, he had no choice but to suppress his thoughts for the time being.
After coming all the way to this border, Qin Tian naturally couldn't come just for the Soul Stone. After putting aside this matter, he could only start planning for cultivation.
The sect competition is coming soon, and it is urgent to improve your strength. However, the cultivation level must be done step by step and cannot be achieved overnight.
And since his cultivation, although Qin Tian has gone through many killings, his combat experience is not very rich, so this time he is mainly here to "hunt monsters"!
The so-called monster hunting, as the name suggests, is to hunt monsters.
After all, the human and demon races attack each other, and the demon monks regard the human race as blood food, devouring and refining it to improve their cultivation.
On the contrary, human monks also regard monsters as prey. After all, monsters are treasures. Regardless of flesh, flesh, fur, claws, wings and feathers, they can be used as materials for alchemy and weapon refining, or sold for spiritual stones.
As a result, in this border battlefield, the two races hunted each other and followed the laws of the jungle.
The top leaders of the two communities also took a laissez-faire attitude towards this.
Over time, a group was formed that specialized in hunting monsters in exchange for cultivation resources, called "Monster Hunters"!
Most of the demon hunters are casual cultivators. Since they have no powerful backers, they have to rely on themselves to obtain cultivation resources.
Very few sect monks are willing to join it. After all, hunting monsters is very dangerous. If you are not careful, the identities of the hunter and the prey will be interchanged!
Demonic beasts are very powerful, often surpassing those of monks of the same level. Therefore, for the sake of safety, all demon hunters go out to hunt demons in small teams.
With the information about the "demon hunter" he had learned about flashing through his mind, Qin Tian came to a large square in the city.
This square is the area where stalls are set up in the city. It also has another function. It is a place where various demon hunting teams recruit members.
I saw a bustling crowd of people on the square, a lively scene.
There were demon hunters recruiting members from all over the place, and many people were sitting on the ground. There were stalls in front of them, and all kinds of products were dazzling. Qin Tian's journey along the way was an eye-opener.
But after wandering around, the existence of the Shocking Stone was still not found.
At this moment, Qin Tian, who happened to be passing by a stall, suddenly felt a warmth from the mysterious pendant hanging on his chest!
Qin Tian's heart moved and he couldn't help but stop and turned to look at the stall.
The owner of the stall was an old man with white eyebrows, who had the ninth level of Qi training. There were various sundries in front of him, including spiritual talismans, elixirs, magic tools, jade slips, and a few unknown animal bones. There is a wide variety, but the quality varies.
What caught Qin Tian's attention was one of the dark beast bones!
This animal bone is about a foot long and has a thin arm. It looks ordinary and is quietly placed in the corner of the stall.
Qin Tian's eyes flickered slightly, and then he pretended to be nonchalant and went to the stall to look through it.
The white-browed old man showed no signs of surprise at Qin Tian's arrival, and still sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.
After some selection, Qin Tian asked:
"I dare to ask my friend, how much does the spiritual talisman cost?"
After hearing this, the white-browed old man opened his eyes, glanced at Qin Tian, and said with a cold expression:
"Just the market price."
Qin Tian didn't waste any time. After grabbing dozens of spiritual talismans from the stall, he took out hundreds of spiritual stones and handed them to the white-browed old man.
According to Qin Tian's idea, since he was going to go out to sea to hunt monsters, he naturally had to prepare some consumables such as spiritual talismans, so he was not merciful when it came to spending spiritual stones.
Moreover, for Qin Tian's current net worth, a mere few hundred spirit stones is nothing more than a small amount!
After the transaction was completed, Qin Tian turned his eyes and glanced at the dark animal bones beside him as if by accident, and then asked with a "confused" look on his face:
"This animal bone seems to be quite ordinary, but it is placed here by fellow Taoist. Is there any mystery behind it?"
The white-browed old man's eyes flickered slightly and he explained:
"I got this thing from an ancient cave, but what is its specific use? I have been researching it for many years, but I have never found anything. But it is a pity to abandon it, so I put it on a stall to sell it to see if I can meet someone who is destined!"
After hearing this, Qin Tian pretended to be excited and said:
"Since it is a relic of ancient cultivation, I am a little curious. I wonder how much this thing is worth?"
The white-browed old man's spiritual thoughts swept over Qin Tianhou, a strange look appeared in his eyes, and he said slowly:
"Five thousand spiritual stones, no counter-offer!"
"Fellow Taoist, could it be that a lion has a big mouth? How can a mere piece of animal bone be worth such a high price?"
Qin Tian said with an annoyed look on his face.
When the white-browed old man heard this, he smiled slightly and said in a calm tone:
"Whether it's worth it or not, it all depends on your thoughts, fellow Taoist!"
After hearing this, Qin Tian's expression suddenly changed. After "hesitating" for a while, he finally gritted his teeth, took out fifty middle-grade spiritual stones and threw them to the white-browed old man, and then took the pitch-black animal bone in his hand.
"I'm quite curious as to what's so strange about this ancient relic!"
After Qin Tian finished speaking with a firm expression of hatred, he turned around and left.
That look made him look like an inexperienced young man!
After Qin Tian walked away, the white-browed old man even sneered, with disdain in his eyes but also a bit of excitement.
Then the white-browed old man reached out and took out another animal bone that looked quite old, and continued to place it on the stall...
Qin Tian, on the other side, felt the warmth coming from the mysterious pendant on his chest and had no mood to continue shopping.
After passing through the crowd in the square, Qin Tian came to the street. After searching for a while, he finally arrived in front of an inn.
After randomly asking for a room and instructing the waiter not to disturb him, Qin Tian locked the door tightly and put up several layers of barriers, and then took out the animal bone to study it.
But after some research, no matter injecting spiritual power, exploring spiritual thoughts, or even using the method of identifying the owner by dripping blood, the dark beast bones showed no reaction at all.
It's like it's really just an ordinary animal bone!
Although Qin Tian looked solemn and anxious about this, he was certain in his heart that this thing must be extraordinary!
After all, the reaction of the mysterious pendant cannot be faked!
