Chapter 259: Lightning Induction, Transactions and Business (5200 Words)
After obtaining a lot of information, Jiang Yun returned to his meditation room.
At this time, Jiang Yun was already thinking about cultivating his external incarnation.
For Jiang Yun, cultivating his external incarnation did not affect his cultivation at all.
The spiritual power consumed by using the spiritual beads to help the incarnation grow is spiritual power. For Jiang Yun, spiritual power is something that cannot be used up on weekdays because it recovers too quickly. More consumption can even help to refine the purity of spiritual power.
As for the cost of spiritual beads, Jiang Yun said it was very expensive. The more expensive spiritual beads actually consumed 10% of Jiang Yun's spiritual stone reserves. It was really terrifying.
He began to make a sound transmission talisman and prepared to notify Si Guangzhi and the disciples of Zhenfan Temple to collect materials.
Jiang Yun looked at them and found that they were all ordinary magic weapon-level materials, but the types required were more numerous. They were all things that could be obtained, but they were a little troublesome.
However, they were not a problem in front of spiritual stones.
In fact, it is not necessary to refine the spiritual beads. It is also possible to put the clone into the spirit beast bag, but since the spiritual beads are beneficial to the clone, there is no need to save these spiritual stones.
Soon Jiang Yun's sound transmission talisman was completed, but it couldn't be thrown away now, because Jiang Yun was deep underground and the sound transmission talisman didn't have the function of escaping underground.
Now that the problem of the spiritual pearl was solved, the next thing to consider was which kind of monster to refine into an external incarnation.
Jiang Yun could only think of two places, namely the Hundred Beasts Valley, which was friendly with the Spirit Beast Mountain, and the Luoyan Mountains of the Purple Gold Country.
Jiang Yun had been to the Hundred Beasts Valley when he had just established his foundation, and Xiao Qing (Blue-eyed Jade-scaled Python) and Xiao Jin (Hao Riwu) were obtained there.
Monsters with ordinary bloodlines were naturally not in Jiang Yun's eyes, and among the five most powerful races, in addition to the above two, there were three more.
They were the Golden Armored Cloud Jiao with the dual attributes of wind and thunder.
The Northern Cold Owl with the ice attribute.
The six-legged black-armored crocodile with the dual attributes of water and soil.
In terms of strength, the Golden Armored Cloud Jiao must be the strongest with the same cultivation, but this pure Jiao-type monster grows slowly and is extremely resource-hungry.
The resources that are enough for several other monsters to cultivate to level five may only be enough for the Golden Armored Cloud Dragon to cultivate to level three or four.
Although the Northern Frost Owl and the Six-legged Black Armored Crocodile are also very powerful, they have bad and cruel personalities.
In particular, the Northern Frost Owl has a hobby of eating people, and regards human cultivators as delicacies on earth. It is a terrifying evil bird.
Jiang Yun could only refuse this monster.
If it is refined into an external incarnation, what if it is affected by some blood instincts?
For example, it has the urge to eat when it sees people, and saliva flows instinctively from the corners of its mouth, etc.
The result is a monster from the Luoyan Mountains.
Jiang Yun also learned about the situation in the Luoyan Mountains by asking several older Yunjuns.
There are five most powerful monster tribes in the Luoyan Mountains, namely the Yunjun tribe, the Qingpeng Eagle tribe, the Chiyan Golden Back Beast tribe, the Qiufeng Deer tribe, and the Bilin Yunshui Beast tribe where the transformed monsters are.
Yunjun and Qingpeng Eagle are not mentioned.
The Red Flame Golden Back Beast has the dual attributes of gold and fire, the same as Xiao Jin, and is famous for its great strength and strong melee.
Qiu Guanglu is a wood-attributed monster, good at illusions and wood-attributed spells, and is also the largest tribe among the five races.
The Green Scale Cloud Water Beast is a water-attributed monster, with unknown innate abilities. According to legend, it has a trace of the blood of the Water Kirin, which is very powerful.
In general, the strength of the Luoyan Mountains is much weaker than that of the Hundred Beasts Valley. Whether it is the number of races or the number of high-level monsters, it is not as good as the Hundred Beasts Valley, but in terms of blood, it is not weaker than the Hundred Beasts Valley.
Jiang Yun's most important ones are the Golden Armor Cloud Dragon and the Green Scale Cloud Water Beast.
On the one hand, it is the strength of these two monsters, and on the other hand, it is their long lifespan.
According to the description of the Yunjun tribe, the Green Scale Cloud Water Beast has a lifespan comparable to that of Yunjun. If the cultivation reaches level 5, it can live for thousands of years, level 7 can live for 1,500 years, and level 8 can live for 3,000 years after transformation. In short, the lifespan is very long.
According to the records of the Spiritual Beast Mountain, the Golden Armored Cloud Dragon has a relatively short lifespan among the dragon-like spiritual beasts.
But even so, its lifespan is far longer than that of humans.
Even if it does not practice, the Golden Armored Cloud Dragon can live for 600 years after birth. When it reaches level 5, it can live for 1,200 years. After it transforms, it can live for more than 2,500 years.
However, the difficulty of obtaining the two is completely different. Among them, the Hundred Beasts Valley and the Spiritual Beast Mountain are on good terms. There are cultivators who select cubs. There is an agreement that the tribe selects cultivators for the cubs.
Although the tribe must agree to take the cub away, at least the cultivator is not in great danger of life.
Therefore, even if you may return empty-handed or even not see the cubs, it is at least safe to go to the Golden Armored Cloud Dragon tribe.
There is no relevant agreement in the Luoyan Mountains.
If Jiang Yun went to the lake in the core area and found the Green Scale Cloud Water Beast Clan and said that they wanted to adopt a cub from your family, I am afraid that life and death would be unpredictable.
Moreover, the probability of Jiang Yun stealing or robbing is very low, infinitely close to zero, because the number of the Green Scale Cloud Water Beast is extremely rare, with only a dozen in the whole tribe, and they must be strictly guarded.
If discovered, it is very likely to be killed on the spot by the two angry transformed demon kings.
You must know that the Green Scale Cloud Water Beast lives in a huge lake, and in the middle of the lake. Wu Tu's earth escape technique can't escape.
Although Jiang Yun often makes some bold moves, the risks of these moves are actually within a controllable range.
Unless the benefits are really so great that it makes people crazy, they will not take huge risks to their lives.
For Jiang Yun now, a mere monster cub is far from being worth risking his life for.
Perhaps for some casual cultivators in the Jindan stage, or those who are doing poorly in the Jindan stage, they would be willing to risk their lives if given 20,000 or 30,000 spirit stones.
But there are not many things that can attract Jiang Yun.
At least the income of Zhenfan Temple and the Azure Sky Pearl are enough to provide the cultivation resources needed before the Yuanying stage.
However, there is one place that Jiang Yun will definitely go to, and that is the Demon Suppression Temple.
That is one of the greatest opportunities in Tiannan. Even the cultivators of Dajin will come to Tiannan to enter it, which shows how precious it is.
However, there are still 33 years before it opens. It will open when Jiang Yun is 96 years old. It is still early, so there is no need to consider it for the time being. Let's get through the invasion of the demons first.
Since the Green Scale Cloud Water Beast has given up, the final choice is clear at a glance.
As a monster with wind and thunder attributes, the Golden Armor Cloud Dragon will naturally have many powerful wind and thunder attribute spells.
However, the fighting style of this monster is mainly melee. It can even be said that it disdains to release long-range spells, but has a fanatical obsession with melee.
One of the reasons is its innate magical power of attracting thunder.
This magical power has two abilities. First, it can cause weather changes, trigger dark clouds, hurricanes and thunder and lightning, and can control dark clouds to fall and lightning to kill enemies. Its power should not be underestimated.
But for the golden armor cloud dragon, they rarely use lightning to strike the enemy.
Instead, they will attract lightning to themselves. After attracting a large amount of lightning, the surface of the golden armor cloud dragon's body will be covered with a layer of purple lightning shell, and its defense and destructive power will soar.
At the same time, in this state, the physical strength of the golden armor cloud dragon will also be greatly increased.
It is said that the golden armor cloud dragon likes to use the lightning technique to exercise its body on weekdays, and it can be called a physical fanatic in the monster world.
The stronger the physical strength of the golden armor cloud dragon, the more popular it is in the tribe, and even the way to compete for a mate is to use physical combat to distinguish the superiority.
Whether the physique is strong or not can be seen from muscles, scales, body posture and other aspects.
The appearance of the Golden Armor Cloud Dragon is also a bit different. Although it has a long body like other dragon-like spirit beasts, the Golden Armor Cloud Dragon is particularly sturdy.
It has four claws, but its claws are different from the short hands of most dragons. Not only are they thicker and longer, but their claws are also extremely sharp. At first glance, they are born for violent close combat.
The golden scales and the agile and powerful posture do have a kingly aura.
There is a bright white horn protruding forward on the top of the head. This horn is extremely hard and is naturally engraved with mysterious and complex spiritual patterns.
This horn is also the life object of all Golden Armor Cloud Dragons. It is the key to casting innate spells. Its importance to the Golden Armor Cloud Dragon is equivalent to Xiaojin's tail feathers.
Although the lightning-inducing technique can be barely released as long as the Golden Armor Cloud Dragon reaches the second and third levels. However, it is very difficult to achieve the goal of enduring lightning with the body and forming a lightning shell.
Only those above level 5 and a very few talented level 4 Golden Armored Cloud Dragons can do this.
Jiang Yun also practices both spiritual power and physical cultivation, and knows that the cost of cultivating the physical body is much higher than cultivating spiritual power to improve cultivation.
The cost of cultivating the Golden Armored Cloud Dragon is very high, and a huge amount of capital must be paid to unleash its potential.
If it is cultivated in the Buddhist way, it is also possible, but in this way, although it can still defeat most enemies of the same level with its racial talent, most of its potential will be wasted.
The reason why the group of people in the Valley of Beasts did not consider the Golden Armored Cloud Dragon at all when they just built their foundation was because this kind of spiritual beast is too resource-intensive.
At that time, Jiang Yun's cultivation was still shallow, and there was no power to earn resources for him. He could only rely on alchemy day after day and do his best to raise a large group of spiritual beasts and insects.
But the situation now is completely different from that time. With Jiang Yun's current wealth, it is completely no problem to cultivate a Golden Armored Cloud Dragon.
However, just like Hao Riwu and Qingyan Yulin Python, the same race has different bloodlines and qualifications. Jiang Yun will act according to the situation at that time.
If they knew that Jiang Yun was refining an avatar, they would probably tear Jiang Yun apart.
However, Jiang Yun does not have a beast control card now, and there are still two years before the next small competition and seven years before the big competition.
Although the sect has held competitions from time to time recently, and the winner can get a foundation-building pill, the number of beast control cards cannot be increased. After all, the number agreed upon by Lingshou Mountain and Baishou Valley is only this much, and it can only be distributed according to the ranking of each peak.
Let's not talk about whether his apprentice can get an excellent ranking to improve the ranking of Yunjun Peak. Even if he can win, he needs to wait until the small competition and the big competition, but Jiang Yun is not prepared to wait, because he has other ways.
The elders actually have the authority to exchange directly with points, 2,500 points per piece, no bargaining. It's just that there is a limit on the number of exchanges, and an elder can only exchange one piece within 30 years.
For Jiang Yun, the spirit stones are not painful, but the points are still a little painful, but Jiang Yun can still find other elders to exchange.
Some elders have extra beast control cards. For example, the elders of a certain peak, whose family members all use spirit frogs as their natal spirit beasts, plus they are ranked very high, so they must have extra beast control cards.
If Jiang Yun uses spirit stones to buy it at a large premium, the stingy old man will definitely be willing.
Jiang Yun is a man with strong action ability and is ready to act directly.
After releasing a spirit python that Yun Jun had guarded, which had been sealed, pasted with a bunch of talismans, and locked in a large formation, and whose injuries had not healed, Jiang Yun left the cave and flew towards Wanwa Peak.
Just after leaving the cave, a golden transmission note flew out of Jiang Yun's sleeve, turning into a golden light and flying towards the distance.
Jiang Yun planned to entrust Elder Le to refine the spirit beads after gathering all the materials. The one Jiang Yun wants to refine is naturally the more expensive one.
Visiting Ten Thousand Frogs Peak is a familiar journey. Elder Lu failed to conceive a baby more than ten years ago and his energy was severely damaged, and his cultivation level was also lost. Therefore, he has been cultivating in the secret territory for these years.
After flying there, he threw out a transmission note. Not long after, an entrance to the secret realm opened, and Jiang Yun entered it decisively.
The Secret Land of Ten Thousand Frogs Peak is still unchanged at all, with countless frogs croaking one after another, because it is daytime and there are many frogs basking in the sun on the shore.
When Jiang Yun landed, there were many spiritual frogs surrounding him.
Jiang Yun sighed. He didn't expect that these frogs would still remember the food they gave him when he accompanied his wife to play for a few days a few years ago.
Jiang Yun threw some low-level spirit fruits to a few of the smallest spirit frogs and then walked towards the bamboo building.
Soon after, Jiang Yun and Elder Lu sat down respectively in the Zhulou living room, and Lu Xuejian's mother brought them spiritual tea.
When it was Jiang Yun's turn, Jiang Yun immediately stood up and took the teacup politely. Xue saw her mother showing an embarrassed smile and went down.
Jiang Yun found that the tea aroma and spiritual energy of Lingcha were very weak. Jiang Yun had not tasted this kind of bargain for a long time. But seeing that Elder Lu was drinking with gusto, it was inconvenient to say anything.
"You said in the transmission talisman before that you wanted to buy a beast control card from me? Are you serious?"
Before Jiang Yun took the teacup and took a sip, Elder Lu couldn't wait to ask.
Jiang Yun put down the tea cup and replied: "Exactly, I wonder if Elder Lu can do it for me!"
Elder Lu's eyes showed a hint of joy, and he said with a smile: "My grandson-in-law should just come to me. I do have some spare beast-control cards, but at this price?"
Elder Lu looked at Jiang Yun not like he was looking at his grandson-in-law, but like he was looking at a fat sheep.
Jiang Yun said with a smile: "The sect needs two thousand and five points to redeem the beast control card, but the points are much more valuable than the spirit stones. Naturally, I can't let Elder Lu suffer a loss. How about I use five thousand spirit stones to buy it?"
Elder Lu was already ready to bargain with Jiang Yun, but Jiang Yun was so quick to double the price.
The words that were stuck in my throat were swallowed immediately, and I could only hold back two words.
"make a deal!"
Soon the two completed the transaction, each getting what they needed. Elder Lu's face was obviously happy after he put away the spirit stone.
Jiang Yun noticed that the spirit tea brought by Xue Jian's mother for the second time was obviously of better quality, and it was probably under the instruction of Elder Lu.
Jiang Yun took a sip of spiritual tea and started chatting with Elder Lu about home affairs.
The two parties talked about some of Xue Jian's situation, and Elder Lu was very surprised when he learned that Xue Jian was very happy and made a lot of money.
After briefly asking Xuejian about the number of spiritual stones that he received every year, Elder Lu even accidentally pulled out his beard.
"Ahem, virtuous grandson-in-law, do you think there is any way to earn spiritual stones at Ten Thousand Frogs Peak?"
Jiang Yun blew the tea leaves in the cup to spread his consciousness.
The secret realm of Ten Thousand Frogs Peak was very large, and Jiang Yun's consciousness focused on scanning it for a while before he finished checking it.
Jiang Yun sighed and said: "Elder Lu, it seems to Jiang that the spirit frogs in the secret realm are too idle. They are either sleeping, basking in the sun and reproducing. We should find something to do for them."
"For example, the blue water frog. I remember that this kind of spiritual frog can condense water blue beads. These beads can be made into low-level water-attribute magic weapons."
The old man hesitated for a moment and said, "But the condensed water blue beads will affect their cultivation."
Jiang Yun smiled and said: "They are very safe in the secret realm. They don't need to have a high level of cultivation to live a safe life. In this case, why not help generate income!"
"You can tell them that one aqua blue bead can be exchanged for ten low-level spiritual fruits."
The old man calculated in his mind that one low-level spiritual fruit would cost two spiritual stones. The cheapest low-level magic weapon can be sold for dozens of fast spiritual stones.
The old man's heart suddenly moved.
"Another example is the Black Reed Toad. I remember that this kind of spiritual beast will shed a layer of skin every time it is promoted. Grinding it into a paste and powder has a very good healing effect on the skin!"
Elder Lu asked doubtfully: "Can't we just use healing spells to heal skin injuries?"
Jiang Yun shook his head and looked at the old man with a look that seemed to say: You are too naive.
"You first put the powder into an exquisite jade bottle, give it a good name, such as Jade Face Cream, Fairy Spirit Cream, etc., and then add the effects of scar removal, whitening, hydration, and skin improvement when promoting it."
"This product is specifically aimed at female immortal cultivators. The pricing gap is a bit larger. The low-end one made of frog skin sells for five spirit stones per bottle, and the high-end one costs fifty spirit stones per bottle. I won't go into details about the reason."
"As for the promotion method, you can do this, this, this, that, that. Just share some of the benefits."
"There are also guys like Jin Yuan Chan who can only eat and sleep. You can fool others into saying that you have part of the bloodline of the luck spirit beast Jin Yun Frog, which has the effect of amassing wealth and improving luck, and then sell it.
Sell it cheaper. Even if most people don't believe it, they will still feel lucky when they see the low price and can't help but buy it. The spirit frog has strong fertility, even if you sell a spirit stone, you will still make a profit. "
"This kind of spiritual beast is of no use at all, so let's add value to it and promote it to contribute to Ten Thousand Frogs Peak!"
"And the three-eyed green frog, it's"
Elder Lu felt that today was really an eye-opener. Why didn't he realize that those chubby frogs could still generate income?
The two chatted for two hours, and the quality of the tea served during the chat was better. The embarrassment on Xuejian's mother's face also disappeared.
Seeing that Elder Lu wanted to ask more questions, Jiang Yun felt that it would be endless, so he found a reason to leave.
Elder Lu personally sent him out of the secret realm, and then he reluctantly went back.
There were some topics that Jiang Yun did not mention. He used his spiritual pupils to observe Elder Lu's situation and found that it was not good. It was estimated that the probability of forming a baby was slim. He would not expose the other party's scars.
After that, the good days of the spirit frogs and spirit toads who had been leisurely for a long time in the secret realm of Wanwa Peak were over.
PS: Break the record, the number of followers has fallen below 300.
After refining the external incarnation, I will speed up the plot progress. I hope to save some followers.
This incarnation is the key point of the outline of Chaos Star Sea, and it has other uses, not just more combat power. I am not convenient to say more about the details.
In addition, it is also to make up for the regrets of the group of people in the Valley of Beasts after the foundation was established.
