Chapter 56: Blood Essence of Magical Beast

"Anybody need Red Leafs? This brother, do you want to buy Red Leafs? I just picked it up this morning. I can guarantee the quality, and I can even lower the price..."

"This brother, look at my Phantom Dagger; it's a Normal Artifact that I've been using for almost a hundred years. It has many stories and memories, and it's virtually famous throughout the region..."

"Sister, oh, beauty, beauty, I have Ice Silk Silkworm here. This is a high-grade material to make beautiful and fine clothes for you... Oh, this handsome brother, do you want to buy a gift for your lover? These Ice Silk Silkworms are perfect for gifts- eh, are you single? Poor you~."

"..."

"Hair Growing Pill, Hair Growing Pill~ Everybody, this is a new kind of pill that Master Lu has invented. It can grow or lengthen your hair in the blink of an eye. Brother there, I saw that your head is bald, you must be pretty concerned about it, right?. Why don't you try this Hair Growing Pill? Once you take this pill, you will become dashing and handsome with your long and shiny hair~."

"...I'm sorry, I don't need your Hair Growing Pill. This bald head is just a wig."

"???"

...

"Listen, everybody! I have an Earth Grade martial skill called "Three Leaves Sword Art" here, any fellow cultivators who like swords can buy this martial skill directly from me. This martial skill is my family's heirloom martial art copy, and I'm only willing to sell it because my family and I need urgent money. Fellow cultivators, let's not miss this because this sale will only be available today!"

As Qin Yi kept walking, he heard various shouts of promotion with various styles coming from people selling their respective goods.

As he was close behind the two strangers leading him, he vaguely listened to their conversation.

"That vicious scammer again? Last time, he sold an Earth Grade martial skill called Fire Lotus Palm, and someone bought it. The buyer was stupid and naive. Did he really think it was logical that someone would dare sell Earth Grade martial skills when even the great sects and great clans value it dearly?"

"There was such a case? Then, what happened to the buyer?"

"It was miserable! I heard that martial skill turned out to be an incomplete Earth Grade martial skill. You should know the risks of learning incomplete martial arts. The buyer forcibly learned them and ended up crippling his Dantian, and he no longer has the chance to become a cultivator again in this life again.

"Euw, such a pitiful fellow. Didn't his mother ever tell him not to buy random unknown things from the strange uncle? What's more, it's an incomplete martial skill..."

"Maybe he doesn't know the risks of practicing with incomplete martial arts, or he is just genuinely naive to think that Earth Grade martial skills can be sold in this market. Anyway, don't ever go near that scammer, with his cunning and vicious character, you won't know when that guy will cheat you."

"Agreed, let's go!"

Practicing an incomplete martial art is risky?

Qin Yi was a bit taken aback as he just found out about this.

He better take note of this critical information.

After a long time, with the guidance of the two strangers in front of Qin Yi, he finally arrived at a lively square area.

He roughly understood the distribution here as he walked around the market for more than half an hour.

This market has two squares which are side by side but separated by a laneway, a deep path that only served as road transportation.

Each square has two different streets that are vertically connected to the main city. These streets were occupied by small to large shops, and they sold a wide variety of products from various factions. It can be said that every one of them has its own backer.

This can be seen from the regular number of buyers in the three streets.

Currently, Qin Yi is in the first square.

This square was usually filled with vendors selling low-rank items and rarely went above Rank 1. Therefore, both the sellers and the buyers here were usually only Qi Condensation Realm cultivators.

He didn't go to the second square, but he heard from market-goers rumours that it was a place where high-stage cultivators sold high-rank products.

At this moment, he heard an exclamation from one of his 'guides'.

"Oh, there he is, that guy is the one selling dragon materials!"

"But why is a Foundation Establishment like him selling in this square? Wouldn't it be more profitable if he sold his products in the next square?"

"Who knows, maybe the competition there is too fierce that he has no other choice to sell it here. Anyway, let's go there!"

Qin Yi also didn't stay still as he quietly followed them from behind.

When he got there, he saw fierce competition between the buyers. It seems that dragon materials are not trivial to them.

Well, Qin Yi can understand this.

He heard that although magical beasts with dragon characteristics weren't rare, they were hard to hunt or catch. They are known for their cunningness and cleverness in attacking or fleeing.

The reason why this seller was able to hunt the Turtle Lava Dragon was presumably because it was a turtle.

Turtle-type magical beasts usually have a mild nature; they like solitude and rarely engage in fighting.

Their advantage lies in their defence, and their weakness lies in their speed. Since the seller is good at ice cultivation techniques, he must be good at restraining things.

With this turtle's slow speed, it must be effortless for the seller to restrain it. It was also coupled with an ice element that can easily tame fire elements.

Once it is caught, the seller will not have too much trouble killing it. No matter how hard the Turtle Lava Dragon shell was, it would be destroyed if it was attacked multiple times using a powerful technique or artifact.

All in all, this seller will unquestionably make a big profit out of it.

Dragon materials are luxurious and expensive products; they can be a tonic for cultivators, especially children who have just started cultivation.

Those dragon materials are usually prevalent among large families as they were bought to feed and baptism their direct descendants from early.

That was why the two strangers, including Qin Yi, didn't quite understand why the seller would sell them in this square. He could still earn a lot of money even if he sold them in the next square or to prominent and well-known shops in the market streets or city.

Perhaps he has his own circumstances, but it doesn't matter since it is not his business anyway.

Qin Yi left his two 'guides' and advanced to a place closer to the seller.

At this moment, the seller said in a loud voice.

"The Turtle Lava Dragon shell, it's a good material for refining an artifact armor. The price is 1000 low-grade spirit stones, or you can exchange it for materials of the same value. If you're interested, you can bid on it now!"

The moment these words fell, people immediately bid their price.

"1010 low-grade spirit stones!"

"1100 low-grade spirit stones!"

"1200 low-grade spirit stones!"

...

In the end, Turtle Lava Dragon shell was sold for 1650 low-grade spirit stones, and the buyer was a Qi Condensation Realm male cultivator.

As soon as he received it, Qin Yi quietly approached the buyer while saying, "Excuse me, excuse me!", of course, only in his heart~.

Fortunately, there were many people here, and Qin Yi's presence was close to none. Therefore, no one particularly noticed or suspected his movements.

"Turtle Lava Dragon eyeball, it is a good ingredient for Alchemists. The price is 500 low-grade spirit stones or you can exchange them for materials of the same value. If you are interested, you can bid on it now!"

"500 low-grade spirit stones!"

"550 low-grade spirit stones!"

...

"I want to exchange it for the gland of the Rank 2 magical beast Ice-skinned Toad! I wonder if it's equivalent to the Turtle Lava Dragon's eyeball?"

Someone among the bidders shouted and offered the conditions.

The seller was delighted.

As an ice cultivator, he is undoubtedly interested in ice-based materials.

"Of course, young friend, I will gladly accept it!"

In the end, that transaction ended in the exchange of materials of equal value.

Fortunately, it fell into the hands of a Qi Condensation Realm cultivator, so Qin Yi still could extract that person.

"Alright, everybody, this is the last item of the Turtle Lava Dragon. I'm sure you all had already looked forward to it, so I won't go into too much detail about the use of this item since everybody already knows that. There are ten liters of Turtle Lava Dragon blood here, and I will auction 1 liter of blood each time. Moreover, with every purchase of one liter of blood, you will get one drop of Blood Essence as a bonus!"

The moment the word "Blood Essence" left the seller's mouth, the crowd was astounded and broke into noise.

"Blood Essence? This guy managed to get Blood Essense from this magical beast? Doesn't that mean this magical beast is a mature Turtle Lava Dragon?"

"No way, this guy must be strong since he was able to hunt the mature Turtle Lava Dragon!"

"No wonder why he can survive in Fire Pit Mountain, it turns out that he is so capable…"
