46: Pick up the leak in advance, three-eyed vine turtle and ice crystal white snake

“A Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan?!”

“As expected, that makes a lot of sense…”

“Indeed, he’s an outsider passing through, someone not to be offended.”

Su Yufei’s thoughts raced, and the smile on her Face brightened even further.

“Oh, Fellow Daoist, this isn’t quite according to the rules, but how can a humble shopkeeper like me displease you?”

“Yao Beast Materials are fine, but a complete auction item list is absolutely out of the question.”

Xiao Qingyuan nodded upon hearing this.

However, his heart tensed; it was indeed a Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan.

Immediately after, he calmly accepted a simplified auction item list and then looked at the Materials brief available at Ten Thousand Treasures Tower.

He quickly scanned the highlight items, finding them uninteresting.

But the other complicated list of Materials gave him a headache.

It felt like he was sifting through antiques online, hoping for a hidden gem.

Composing himself, Xiao Qingyuan tried to suppress his thoughts and quickly searched through the list.

On his Face, he tried to appear calm and unhurried.

“Cultivation Technique (omitted)”

“Legacy (omitted)”

“Medicinal Pill (omitted)”

“Highlight auction items: Yin and Yang Vine, Wind and Thunder Fruit — two of the three main ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pill (omitted)”

“The five elements spiritual objects, also known as Foundation Establishment spiritual objects, but I don’t know what their effects are: Shouyang Mountain Copper, Parasol Tree Heart, Ten-Thousand-Year Stone Milk, three-colored lieyang flower, Profound Female Stone Pearl—they’re all here.”

Xiao Qingyuan pondered in secret, then turned his attention to the Yao Beast Materials:

“Yao Beast Materials: Second-tier Profound Wind Falcon’s eyes, not very suitable for Guanyin Nu, keep.”

“Second-tier Yao Tiger’s spine, keep.”

“Second-tier Yao Beast: the corpse of a Green-Eyed White Python, too bad I only need its essence blood…”

“Three-tailed Ice Silkworm, its body is too small, I wonder if its heart can be used to absorb Qi for Da Jiang.”

Suddenly, Xiao Qingyuan looked at each item.

A hint of dissatisfaction appeared in his eyes.

This was because, apart from the five elements spiritual objects whose effects he didn’t know, he hadn’t seen a single satisfactory item.

Even the Yao Beast Materials that could be used to absorb Qi for his several wives and concubines didn’t seem very suitable to him.

Until he suddenly saw an item in an inconspicuous spot.

It instantly piqued his interest.

So he pointed at an item and said, “This, the vertical eye of the Three-Eyed Vine Turtle, wasn’t this item put up for auction?”

Su Yufei personally led the way beside him, trying to get closer.

She looked over and then directly said, “Oh, that? The Three-Eyed Vine Turtle is a type of Spirit Beast with a long lifespan, wood attribute, and highly nourishing.”

“Its vertical eye is a natural longevity pill, but unfortunately, this is only the vertical eye of a first-tier Yao Beast, only useful for Mortals.”

—It extends life by ten years.

“For Cultivators, it only has some healing effects.”

“It contains abundant life force.”

“What we received this time is a single vertical eye.”

“Better than nothing.”

Su Yufei’s tone was indifferent, but Xiao Qingyuan’s interest was immediately piqued upon seeing this.

“Guanyin Nu’s dual source acupoints are theoretically two acupoints.”

“However, the eye acupoints are connected, so it’s fine to treat them as one.”

“The Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Demon can only incorporate one type of Yao Beast Material to complete the spiritual awakening — gaining the corresponding Yao Beast Divine Ability.”

“Only then can she begin a cultivation system similar to Yao Beasts — continuously strengthening her Bloodline Divine Ability.”

“Therefore, the Three-Eyed Vine Turtle’s Bloodline characteristic, known for its powerful life force, can not only greatly increase Guanyin Nu’s lifespan,”

“But also offers immense benefits for future pregnancy and childbirth.”

“Coupled with the powerful performance of the Spirit Eye itself and the enhancement of its single wood attribute,”

“Isn’t it perfectly suited for Guanyin Nu?”

Thinking of this, Xiao Qingyuan directly said, “Is that so? A bit regrettable, but it can also be taken for research.”

Upon hearing this, Su Yufei quickly explained, not minding doing him another favor: “Indeed, Fellow Daoist, if you are interested, I can make the decision to sell it to you at a cost price of one hundred thirty Low-Grade Spirit Stones.”

“It’s just a pity that the Three-Eyed Vine Turtle has low combat power. After advancing, it is easily hunted and devoured by high-tier Yao Beasts, leading to even scarcer numbers.”

“Artificial cultivation is too difficult, requiring hundreds of years to advance, which is not worth the effort.”

“Otherwise, leaving aside the longevity function of its vertical eye for now,”

“The Three-Eyed Vine Turtle itself also naturally possesses powerful healing abilities.”

“It is also excellent for raising as a Spirit Beast.”

Xiao Qingyuan was delighted to hear this; he had originally thought that a treasure capable of extending life would cost at least five hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

He didn’t expect it would only cost one hundred thirty Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

So he waved his hand grandly: “Very good, then I’ll give you this Face.”

After speaking, he paid directly and immediately acquired the first Qi absorption spiritual object on the spot.

Su Yufei was also inwardly pleased; to be honest, this item was practically unsellable.

It was an inventory backlog, and she hadn’t expected the young master before her to acquire it simply out of interest.

So, after arriving at the private room, she didn’t rush to leave.

She immediately began to vigorously promote items to Xiao Qingyuan.

Xiao Qingyuan was too lazy to look at the list again and directly said, “I’m only interested in special items, such as ice-attribute Yao Beast Materials, special Yao Beast bones, especially spinal bones, Yao Beast essence blood with special effects, and even high-quality Bloodline essences.”

“Yao Beast Materials of Divine Beast descendants and so on… First-tier or second-tier are fine; I’ll accept anything here.”

“As long as it’s useful to me, I don’t care about Spirit Stones.”

“You must bring out some good stuff.”

“That is natural! Ten Thousand Treasures Tower’s goods are sure to satisfy you.” Su Yufei thought for a moment and then directly said, “Ice-attribute Yao Beast Materials are quite special, mostly from outside the Wei Kingdom, but what Ten Thousand Treasures Tower does is trade things from all over.”

“Coincidentally, we have the remains of a Yao Beast, the Illusory Ice Sparrow, in stock.”

“To be frank, its bones and outer skin were removed as Materials.”

“Its heart is absolutely intact.”

“Because it possesses a faint trace of Divine Beast Bloodline, its essence blood is also perfectly preserved.”

“I’ll make the decision to price it at one hundred thirty Low-Grade Spirit Stones as well.”

Xiao Qingyuan was overjoyed to hear this; not only did he successfully find a hidden gem, but for less than three hundred Spirit Stones, he had completed half of his plan.

An Ice Sparrow, ah, that’s not the sparrow of a common bird, but the sparrow of a Vermilion Bird.

It belongs to a subspecies of a Phoenix subspecies.

But doesn’t that still touch on the Phoenix lineage?

Although he also knew that Su Yufei’s words undoubtedly contained exaggeration.

If that Ice Sparrow were in its native region, it might just be an ordinary Yao Beast.

But Xiao Qingyuan had confidence in the Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Demon.

The Illusory Ice Sparrow’s abilities resided in its heart; buying it would definitely not be a loss.

“Bought it! Haha, for something worth dozens, it’s worth it for me to buy it out of curiosity!”

“Next, I also need you to recommend some special Yao Beast spinal bones and high-grade Bloodline essences.”

Spinal bones, essences… Su Yufei secretly pondered Xiao Qingyuan’s true purpose.

Special spinal bones might be for forging powerful first-tier Magical Artifacts — Flying Swords or battle blades.

But the so-called Bloodline essence is a certain Bloodline extracted and fused from many subspecies of Yao Beasts.

For example, Phoenix essence, White Tiger essence, and so on… full of technology and ruthlessness.

It doesn’t mean that these things truly come from a Phoenix or White Tiger.

Rather, they theoretically possess a trace of a certain Divine Beast’s Bloodline characteristic.

They are generally used for Cultivating a certain Cultivation Technique, comprehending Spells, and so on… the two cannot be compared on the same day.

Of course, good essences are not cheap either.

They are a decent type of cultivation resource, just relatively niche.

Thinking of this, Su Yufei indeed remembered something stagnant in their inventory, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

She quickly spoke: “What a coincidence, there just happen to be two such items here that are sure to satisfy you…!”
