Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 205 Rock Armor Bear

Ji An practiced and performed magic in the early morning and at night, made talismans in the morning, and wandered around the fairy city in the afternoon to gain knowledge, or drove a shuttle around the fairy city.

Within a radius of dozens of miles, monks from the law enforcement team can often be seen patrolling, and there are almost no traces of monsters.

During this period, Wei Songnian and Liu Yu each took him to a trade fair for foundation-building cultivators, where he bought a beast skin from a late-stage foundation-building cultivator, but gained nothing else.

The days passed peacefully, and in the blink of an eye the one-month deadline was approaching.

He will be returning to the sect in three days, but there is still no news about the earth-grade bloodline monster cub. Ji An has already made plans to buy it at the sect shop.

In the evening, Ji An and Wei Shouqing returned to the talisman shop on Zhuque Street in the afterglow of the setting sun.

When the two arrived at the door, a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage hurried into the shop and said breathlessly:

"I'm a clerk at Li's Beast Taming Shop. I have something urgent to discuss with Senior Wei Songnian. I have news about the goods he ordered."

When Ji An heard his words, his eyebrows suddenly raised and the corners of his mouth turned up in a knowing smile.

Beast Taming Shop, ordering, these key words all prove that there is news about the earth-grade bloodline demon beast cub.

He had a sense of sudden enlightenment, as if after going through so many twists and turns that he thought there was no way out, he suddenly discovered a new village.

Ji An didn't stop and walked into the backyard. He would know the specific news during dinner.

When he returned to the guest room, he happened to feel a stream of air being drawn out from the strange object and swallowed by the stone turtle.

He took off the pendant and held the strange object in his hand, rubbing it. The stone turtle absorbed more than 240 points of Gen Ling.

At the beginning, I could absorb ten points in one breath, but now I can’t absorb even a single point in several days. It must have reached its limit.

The stall owner who sold the rare items seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth and was never seen again, completely shattering Ji An's last hope.

While he was thinking, brisk footsteps were heard in the courtyard.

"Brother, we have some clues on the matter of the monster cub."

Before Wei Songnian's men stepped into the room, excited voices reached their ears.

Ji An went up to him and said with a smile:

"I had actually given up hope, but I never thought my luck would turn around."

The master praised him for being very lucky, and he now felt the same way.

"Haha, Senior Brother, you're lucky. A young Earth-grade bloodline monster beast might appear once every few months in the Immortal City."

Wei Songnian paused and continued:
"This is a baby Rock Armor Bear, a demonic earth beast. It's estimated to be only three or four days old. It will be auctioned at Li's Beast Taming Shop on Xuanwu Street at 11:00 PM tomorrow night. Only mid-grade spirit stones and second-tier resources will be accepted."

If the earth-grade monsters are cultivated properly, it is possible for them to break through to the Chaoyuan period.

However, a breakthrough for a monster beast requires rare treasures or the refining of relevant elixirs, and many monster beasts do not have this luck.

"Are there any restrictions on second-level resources?"

"no limit."

Ji An felt relieved, thinking that if there were no restrictions, his preparations should be sufficient.

Ji An and his companion arrived at their destination a quarter of an hour early. As soon as they entered Li's Beast Taming Shop, they immediately smelled a mixed smell, as if they had entered a pet market in their previous life.

Monsters are more intelligent than wild beasts, but they still follow their nature in eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.

Under the guidance of the shop assistant, Ji An and his companion walked into a spacious room.

This place was temporarily converted into an auction venue, with a three-foot-high platform built against the wall, on which was placed a Huanghuali wooden table.

There were several circles of chairs placed around the platform, and the whole scene looked a bit simple.

There were already more than twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators sitting in the room, some of them wearing veils, obviously not wanting others to recognize their true identities.

Such people are usually independent cultivators.

There was a burly bald man who was particularly eye-catching. He was wearing a short coat and was shirtless, with muscular torso and a fierce aura. He looked like a human-shaped beast. He should be a monk from Yuanhe Mountain.

Wei Songnian greeted most of the people, sat back down next to Ji An, and said in a voice transmission:
"Brother, excluding those who are hiding their heads and showing their tails, there are only three or four cultivators who are strong enough to compete with you.

However, these people are all elders of the foundation-building family. If they decide to buy monsters as guardian spirit beasts, things will be a bit tricky."

The lifespan of monsters is generally longer than that of cultivators. A rock-armored bear in the foundation-building stage can live for three to four hundred years.

Although this type of monster is not as cost-effective as turtle-type monsters as a guardian beast, earth-grade bloodline monsters are rare after all, so they can still be used as powerful fighters after being bred.

Ji An nodded slightly and said calmly:
"It doesn't matter."

Family monks believe that many hands make light work, but since they have families to support, there are more things to consider.

Many families have more assets than him, but their expenses are higher, and the resources they can mobilize are probably not as good as his.

After two more groups of people entered, a bearded monk walked up to the platform and bowed, saying:

"Thank you all for coming. Everyone already knows the cub's basic information. Without further ado, let's get straight to the main course."

As he finished speaking, another monk jumped onto the stage and brought over a square object covered with a black cloth.

The bearded man pulled back the black cloth, revealing a black animal cage. Inside was a bear cub the size of a football, roaring in a childish voice.

Its brown hair spread out fluffy, like a ball.

"The auction price for this Earth-grade Bloodline Rock Armor Bear cub is fifty mid-grade spirit stones. Accepting second-level spirit objects, mid-to-late stage foundation-building elixirs, and ultimate-grade magical instruments.

Malicious bidding is not allowed at auctions. If this happens, the deposit will not be refunded.

Everyone please come forward to verify your bloodline, and then we will start the auction."

The auctioneer was very decisive and the monks came forward one by one.

Ji An grabbed the bear cub by the neck and thrust his spiritual sense into it, frowning slightly.

This demon beast cub has indeed reached the level of earth-grade bloodline, but is a hybrid of earth and fire.

If the bloodlines were combined, the upper limit would be higher, but there was a greater probability that the two bloodlines would not be able to merge perfectly, and it would only be considered a top-level, supreme-grade bloodline monster. In short, purchasing this monster was risky, and the risk was not small. The starting price of one hundred mid-grade spirit stones was not low.

Wei Songnian also stepped forward to check, and said awkwardly:
"Brother, the store owner is not honest. It's hard to say whether you can truly taste the bloodline."

The price of a cub with top-grade bloodline is more than two thousand spirit stones, and the price of an especially excellent one is only five or six thousand spirit stones.

Ji An responded:
"It's not easy to come across such a player. I'll see how the situation is. If the competition isn't fierce, I'll make a move."

He has always had good luck, I wonder if his good luck will continue this time.

After everyone checked it, the bearded man said passionately:

"My fellow Daoists, the Rock Armor Bear, which possesses both earth and fire elements, can definitely bring you a different experience.

When the bloodline is completely fused and a monster is cultivated, the harvest can be doubled.

Don't miss this opportunity, the auction begins now!"

There was a brief silence in the temporary auction hall. Everyone knew the value of the goods and was considering whether it was worth paying a high premium.

The bald monk said in a deep voice:

"Fifty middle-grade spirit stones."

When someone made an offer, many people's concerns were alleviated and they all made offers.

"Fifty-five medium-grade spirit stones."

"Sixty mid-grade spirit stones."

"Sixty medium-grade spirit stones plus one ounce of black yellow soil."

There is an element of gambling in purchasing this monster cub, but if the gamble is right, it would be a big bargain.

The transaction price of a Earth-grade bloodline demon beast cub is at least over one hundred medium-grade spirit stones.

The price continued to rise, and soon reached ninety medium-grade spirit stones, which was the price offered by the bald monk.

It seemed to be the limit and no one offered any more bids.

"Ninety mid-grade spirit stones, is there a better offer?

If you hesitate, you will miss out, and you may even miss out on a Chaoyuan-level beast."

The bearded man tried hard to sell the product, but the price was still lower than he expected.

Ji An said:

"One hundred middle-grade spiritual stones."

"This fellow Daoist is willing to offer one hundred mid-grade spirit stones. Is there a higher price?"

The bearded man shouted excitedly, "If you hesitate, you will miss it."

The bald monk took out a purple gourd and said in a muffled voice:

“Eighty mid-grade spirit stones, plus this top-grade purple fire gourd.

There are more and more demonic insects in the wild now, and this kind of top-grade magical weapon that nourishes fire is very useful for demon hunters."

The bearded man nodded, and said to Old Xiang Ji'an:

"The ultimate grade Purple Fire Gourd is extremely rare. Only the Gold Spirit Sect's weapon refiners can refine it. It's priced at twenty mid-grade spirit stones."

Ji An gritted his teeth. Could the gourd the other party had taken out have been practiced by Senior Brother Zhao Lei? He felt like he was shooting himself in the foot.

He took out a purple fire gourd with twenty-six forbidden spells and said:

"Eighty-five mid-grade spirit stones, and I'll also give you a top-grade purple fire gourd, which contains the earth fire that has been nurtured for three years."

He will soon obtain the spiritual weapon-level purple fire gourd, so it is understandable that he is missing a gourd.

Now, the pressure came to the bald monk.

As the bearded man worked hard to stir up the atmosphere, the bald monk gave up raising the price.

The auction ended and the other monks left.

The bearded monk saluted and said:

"Congratulations to the fellow Daoist of the Jinling Sect for obtaining a low-grade demon beast. You will definitely be able to cultivate a Chaoyuan-level beast in the future."

Ji An laughed. The other party spoke better than he sang, but if he couldn't break through the Chao Yuan period, he would never see that day. What's more, there were certain hidden dangers in the bloodline of this cub.

He handed over the purple fire gourd and eighty-five medium-grade spirit stones.

The bearded monk checked the magic weapon, counted the spirit stones, and handed the animal cage to him.

Ji An opened the cage, pulled the bear cub out, and laboriously cut his finger to force out a drop of blood.

He pinched his fingers and his blood formed a blood contract pattern in the air, swirling and landing on the bear cub's forehead.

The cub struggled hard with its limbs hanging in the air, waving its claws and teeth, and making a fierce growl, obviously trying its best to resist.

The blood contract slowly seeped into its skin. After a while, the cub calmed down and looked at Ji An with its big black eyes.

"Strange, I thought this creature was disgusting just now, but now I feel so close to it."

Ji An sensed the bear cub's emotions through his spiritual perception, and he laughed, hugged it and left.

He was in a good mood, and if the auction required second-level resources, he might have given up.

In the end, only spirit stones and a magic weapon were used, which is an acceptable result.

The bloodline of this cub is not pure enough. If it were a single earth-based monster, the bidding on the spot would definitely be fierce.
