Chapter 174 Loli Mommy!
"The backlash of poison magic?"
"That's right." Xu Fang sighed and took a sip of the oolong tea: "After all, this is a legal system. It would be a pity to abandon it. But if you suffer the backlash, it will be more than worth the gain."
"Young people are inexperienced after all." Old Man Bao said with a smile: "This matter is not difficult to say, but it is not easy to say it is simple."
"You say."
Xu Fang assumed a posture of listening attentively.
"There is no fixed method for magic. Even the same attribute will produce different branches. Thunder and fire mages have always taken the path of outputting destruction, but some mages choose to become blacksmiths, and the same goes for the poison system."
Old Man Bao said:
"Most poison mages will learn magic honestly and then endure the backlash of magic, but some people choose the other two paths."
"The first is poison cultivators. They release poisons, collect poisons, and refine medicines. Every time they get a new toxin, their strength will increase by leaps and bounds!"
"What about the second one?"
Lingling didn't know what was going on and leaned over, fascinated.
Old Man Bao rarely sees his little granddaughter like this, so he talks more happily: "The second one is insect cultivation, which uses poisonous insects as the basis, raises a large number of poisonous insects, and cultivates them into creatures that can attack, defend, and change ever-changing, similar to Just like summoning a mage."
"Both types of mages have abandoned the conventional poison magic and only require primary magic as a medium."
"And the power is far beyond that of ordinary poison mage, and he is omnipotent in battle!"
Xu Fang was thoughtful.
"Of course, these two ways of cultivation are more dangerous. If the newly introduced toxins are not properly refined, it is very likely to poison yourself. The same is true for poisonous insects. If you are bitten by them, you can start to awaken sixteen years later. ”
Old Man Bao is not a professor at Pearl Academy.
He will not refuse to offer corresponding courses due to safety concerns. He will only list all the options in front of you. The choice is entirely up to you.
"Where do you get information about toxins and poisonous insects?" Xu Fang asked.
Old Man Bao said: "You can try your luck in the Hunter League. Many hunting mages will make some information into scrolls and sell them. If you have enough budget, you can also directly issue tasks.
In normal times, I suggest you go to the botany department of your school and take a look. Toxins cannot be separated from snakes and insects, and snakes and insects cannot be separated from plants. "
"Then why don't you flatter him to death?"
Lingling snorted softly: "It is said that the Pearl Goddess is in the Department of Botany. From then on, the two of them had classes together every day. They were inseparable and inseparable. In the end, they didn't even come to the hunting house."
Xu Fang: "Lingling, I only treat you as my sister."
"Ha? Ha!?" Lingling jumped up from her seat: "Have you made a mistake? I, Leng Lingling, can be jealous of you? I have always regarded you as my son!"
"So that's it... I really can't do anything to you." Xu Fang cleared his throat and said emotionally: "Mom!"
Lingling: "..."
She stood up stiffly and walked upstairs mechanically, walking faster and faster. Xu Fang could see the back of her neck turning red and warm due to shame.
Xu Fang shouted: "Just kidding, who among the serious people likes Loli Mama?"
Lingling ran away faster.
Xu Fang laughed so hard that he was about to drink the last bit of oolong tea, but found that his right hand was empty.
The cup I was still holding in my hand disappeared at some point. There was a pool of unknown liquid on the table. It looked like...glass?
Opposite him, Old Man Bao had a kind smile on his face.
Xu Fang cleared his throat and stood up: "Old man, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
"Don't leave."
Old Man Bao stretched out his hand to hold his shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's so late, stay here for one night, grandpa, I'll talk to you about how to use magic."
······
Two days later.
Shanghai International Trade Center, rooftop auction house, special seats.
Xu Fang had never been to a place like this before, and it was thanks to Lingling that he got a pass.
Lingling said: "These large auctions have restrictions. Either you spend a lot of money to buy a membership here, or you have to have a certain status, such as a master hunter."
"Mama YYDS!" Xu Fang boasted.
Lingling glared at him fiercely, the scar was healed and the pain was forgotten by the little yellow hair!
She decided not to argue with this inconspicuous guy: "This is today's auction list. The products we want are No. 9 and No. 25."
Xu Fang took the list, which was full of various cultivation resources, and the prices were basically in tens of millions.
No matter what level you are at, what a magician needs is so rare and expensive. This is why many people are trying to squeeze into the upper echelons of aristocratic families.
Just because the good things in Anjie have been divided up by these big families, we can't go out to dig for gold like savages again and again!
Lot No. 9 is an opaque box with some vague items inside, and the starting price is 25 million.
Lot No. 25 is a dark red magic weapon in a bowl, and the starting price is even more shocking, a total of 48 million!
Xu Fang looked at the auction list. Half an hour later, the auction started.
The first item on the auction block was a fire-type spiritual seed, which was placed in a spiritual seed vessel. The blazing flame could be felt from a long distance away.
"The starting price is fifteen million, let's start bidding!"
As the auctioneer finished speaking, many fire magicians rushed to bid. Finally, the spiritual seed was won by a mage from an Eastern family for 20 million.
The second item was a magic-slaying tool, which was on the same level as Xu Fang's Cloud-Slaying Sword, and was taken for 25 million.
One thing after another, the atmosphere of the auction became more and more enthusiastic.
"The following is Lot No. 9, ten worm larvae from the Mongolian grasslands. The starting price is 25 million. Each increase in price must not be less than 1 million. Please bid!"
On the big screen, the sealed box was opened, and there were several fat and white worms lying quietly inside.
It's like the pause button has been pressed.
The auction house, which was bustling with activity just now, is now so quiet that people feel panicked.
The auctioneer was a young man. He was a little panicked when he saw this. He quickly introduced: "These worms have been identified by our appraiser and have amazing potential. Even if they don't have the poison system, they can reach the level of a warrior if they are cultivated with blood!"
Still no one raised a sign.
"That's disgusting. Who would buy such a thing?"
"Yes, and cultivating it with blood, it sounds so evil!"
"I've heard of the Mongolian Death Worm. That thing is cold and violent. If it bites back, we will be dead!"
Hearing the conversation in the audience, the auctioneer looked helpless. It seemed that the lot would not be auctioned.
At this moment, a voice sounded: "Twenty-five million."
Uh-huh!
The auctioneer's eyes lit up: "This distinguished guest bid 25 million, 25 million for the first time! 25 million for the second time! 25 million for the third time! Deal!"
As if afraid that Xu Fang would regret it, the auctioneer quickly lowered the hammer.
It was only then that everyone saw his appearance clearly and whispered to each other: "Oh, such a handsome guy is gone."
"Young people always like to act like monsters. You will understand if you stumble a few more times."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to get up this time. I heard that a mage who feeds insects with blood will turn his body into a nest of poisonous insects, and his whole body will be densely covered with insect eyes..."
"Ugh! Stop talking, I feel sick already!"
The tenth lot is a blue velvet giant bird's egg. According to the auctioneer, this blue velvet giant bird has the blood of Penglai Skylark, and if it is properly cultivated, it will be as good as an adult warrior-level demon...
No one listened to what he said. They were already rushing to bid, and the price has soared to 70 million and it hasn't stopped yet!
