Chapter 2204: Twists and turns
Finally, after a careful search, Qin Tian finally found the trace of the giant bear's blood and soul in the middle of the night.
It turned out that a demon hunting team had taken out a whole sixth-level barbarian bear corpse for sale that day, and in order to maximize profits, they also decomposed the corpse into many spiritual materials and sold them to several chambers of commerce.
The most precious blood and beast soul were sold to one of the largest shops in the market. According to the information he heard, this shop was called "Qiao Xin Pavilion" and the owner behind it was the White Lotus Sect, one of the three affiliated forces!
After learning the news, Qin Tian naturally did not stop, and hurriedly rushed to the southwest area of the market at the fastest speed according to the location he had found, in front of a beautifully shaped and magnificent shop.
Perhaps relying on the reputation of the White Lotus Sect, the business of "Qiaoxin Pavilion" is quite prosperous. Even though it is late at night, the lights are still on inside, and guests are coming and going in an endless stream. It can only be described as crowded.
Seeing this scene, Qin Tian did not hesitate and immediately stepped inside calmly, pretending to stroll around as if nothing had happened, but in fact he was quickly searching for what he needed in the display cabinets.
Unexpectedly, more than ten breaths passed, even after searching all the display cabinets, there was still no trace of the wild bear blood, and even the Qiongqi totem had no reaction, obviously not sensing the existence of the same blood.
Faced with such a situation, his heart sank slightly.
If this thing had been taken before he came, it would really be a waste of time.
At this moment, a maid with a graceful figure, beautiful appearance, and cultivation level of the early Nascent Soul came slowly, and then saluted with a respectful face:
"Meet this distinguished guest, I am here to pay my respects, may I ask what the distinguished guest needs, my Qiaoxin Pavilion has a large collection of treasures, I believe it can meet the distinguished guest's needs.........!"
As she spoke, the maid couldn't help but look confident.
After all, in her opinion, although the person in front of her has a good cultivation level, he is definitely not at the level of the Refining Void Stage. What good things can an existence of this level afford?
It is no wonder that she has such an idea. She has been in this market for a long time and has seen many masters. When facing ordinary people who have transformed into gods, she will naturally not have too much awe.
Moreover, the owner behind the scenes of "Qiaoxin Pavilion" is the White Lotus Sect. As one of the three overlords of the Burial Spirit Ancient Desert, if it does not even have this confidence, how can it stand in the world in the future?
Little did she know that Qin Tian was waiting for this sentence.
Looking at the maid who was so confident, he didn't bother to beat around the bush and immediately stated his purpose:
"Oh~? Since your store is so confident, I will come straight to the point. I just heard in the market that your store has a sixth-level wild bear spirit material for sale. I just need its essence and blood to make medicine. I wonder if it is still available?"
Sure enough, after saying this, the maid was stunned for a moment, and her expression became a little unnatural. She hesitated for a long time before saying embarrassedly:
"Uh~! This... yes, but my level is not high enough. Please wait for a moment, my dear guest, someone will come to negotiate...!"
After speaking, the woman did not forget to bow respectfully, and then hurriedly took her leave and walked towards the inner hall, obviously to report the news to the shopkeeper.
Seeing this situation, Qin Tian did not doubt him and simply waited in the front hall.
Not long after, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe and with an elegant temperament, who had reached the initial stage of refining emptiness, walked out slowly and walked straight towards Qin Tian, and bowed politely from a distance:
"Haha~! I am sorry for not welcoming you, my distinguished guest! I am the shopkeeper of Qiaoxin Pavilion!"
Hearing this, Qin Tian naturally responded politely:
"Senior, you are too kind. I am just a casual cultivator, and my common name is not worth mentioning!"
After a simple polite exchange, the atmosphere gradually became familiar.
The middle-aged cultivator was indeed a man with a long career in the business world. Seeing that Qin Tian was unwilling to reveal his name, and that he was wearing a hat and had a restrained aura, he naturally knew the extent of the situation. Therefore, he did not delve into it, nor did he use his spiritual sense to scan him. Instead, he changed the subject and asked tentatively:
"I heard that this young man needs spiritual materials for medicine. Could he be an alchemist?"
Qin Tian was not ambiguous when he heard this. He simply took out the token issued by the alliance and quickly flashed it in the air. Then he said humbly:
"Sorry to make fun of you, shopkeeper. I am dull in talent and still remain at the level of a fifth-level alchemist. I am afraid I am still not up to the standard!"
This statement seemed to be self-deprecating, but in fact it deliberately stated his identity. This was because, in the Burning Heaven Realm, a small cultivator in the God Transformation Stage could only be considered to have an equal dialogue with the Void Refining Stage by virtue of the title of the Alchemist Alliance, and it could also prove his wealth and wealth from the side.
Sure enough, after verifying his identity, the middle-aged cultivator's attitude became much more enthusiastic:
"No, no! This young man is too modest. He has reached the fifth-level alchemy master at such a young age. His future achievements are really limitless.........!"
After the bland compliment, the middle-aged cultivator no longer beat around the bush and said directly:
"To be honest, this young man came by chance. Some time ago, our store did collect a piece of giant bear blood essence. It has not been sold yet. However, this thing is a sixth-level spiritual material after all, and it has the blood of the ancient beast Qiongqi, so the price may not be too low.........!"
Having said that, he did not forget to raise his hand and took out an exquisite jade bottle on the spot. A red viscous liquid was vaguely visible in it, and a violent aura escaped. It was undoubtedly the essence and blood of the giant brute bear. .
At the same time, at the moment when the blood essence was taken out, the Qiongqi totem engraved on Qin Tian's back finally felt a long-lost feeling.
He had a strong intuition at this moment that as long as he could refine this savage bear essence and blood into his body, he would be able to break through the shackles of the physical body in one fell swoop. Breaking through to the late Saint King stage would be a matter of course.
For a moment, his heart was filled with excitement, and he quickly took the initiative to ask:
"Oh? It's so good. May I ask the shopkeeper how much it costs?"
The middle-aged monk's eyes flashed, and he quoted the high price without blushing or heartbeat:
"According to the market conditions in various places, such rare items containing the bloodline of ancient ferocious beasts are in short supply all year round. Therefore, after the evaluation of our treasure appraiser, the price of 3,500 low-grade Yuanshi is reasonable!"
As soon as these words came out, Qin Tian suddenly felt happy.
With his current wealth and financial resources, not to mention a mere 3,500 low-grade Yuan Stones, even 30,000 are not a problem. The reason is that it is a "windfall from heaven". As long as it can improve the cultivation strength, no matter how much it costs, It's worth it too.
It's just that he, Qin, is not willing to suffer losses.
After all, being rich and being taken advantage of are two different things.
Therefore, facing such a high price, Qin Tian immediately frowned slightly and quickly pretended to be worried about gains and losses and exclaimed:
"What~? This thing... actually costs 3,500 yuan. Isn't this too exaggerated? Even if I lose my fortune, I can't afford it! The maximum price is 2,800 yuan. Stone, otherwise it’s okay not to have this thing...!"
However, after hearing this, the middle-aged man was not in a hurry, and actually pretended to smile bitterly:
"Haha~! My friend, please don't misunderstand me. I, Qiao Xin Pavilion, operate with a small budget and have no deception. There is absolutely no reason to intentionally raise the price. If we follow my friend's quotation, I am afraid that we will lose money, so we might as well take a step back. , how about 3,400 low-grade Yuan stones?”
When Qin Tian heard this, he was naturally unwilling to be outdone, and quickly brought out the pharmacological Xiaozhi to use emotion to move and reason:
"Shopkeeper, please do not deceive us. Although this giant bear has the blood of a ferocious beast, its specific purity has yet to be verified. It must be refined before we can know it. Besides, if this thing is stored for too long, the blood will inevitably be lost. ! In my humble opinion, the maximum is two thousand nine hundred yuan stone, no more!"
"If not, I have no choice but to say goodbye!"
After saying that, a certain demon simply flicked his sleeves and robe, pretending to be ready to leave.
............
In the end, after some extreme pulling and pulling, the two of them didn't care about the eyes of others at all, and finally settled the deal with 3,300 low-grade Yuan stones, but there was an additional condition, that the beast soul also had to be given as a gift, so they could barely do it. Agree.
Unexpectedly, good things come to an end.
Just when the two parties were about to complete the transaction, before Qin Tian could sigh that the trip was going smoothly, something unexpected happened at a critical moment.
Suddenly, a loud shout was heard outside the door, and a strong pressure quickly enveloped the entire place. The monks who were coming and going in the courtyard were forced to retreat, revealing a path for passage.
"Wait a minute~! I don't want this anymore!"
As the words fell, there was a sudden commotion in the field, and many monks who were rushed shouted angrily.
Seeing this situation, Qin Tian couldn't help but frown slightly.
Just because that voice was so familiar, it was actually one of the "old acquaintances" from back then!
Sure enough, just as the words fell, two monks, a man and a woman, walked quickly into the hall without paying any attention to the glares of others.
