Chereads / Gu Alchemist: Crafting Immortality with a Tardigrade Gu / Chapter 4 - Picking up bargains makes me happy

Chapter 4 - Picking up bargains makes me happy

For him, this place is a paradise on earth with treasures everywhere. There are too many valuable treasures on the ground that are worth very little, waving at him. If he just picks up a handful, he can become rich overnight. Unfortunately, he is short of money and can only stare blankly.

What can ten spirit stones buy? He suddenly realized that it was a wrong decision to go shopping as a poor man. In addition to ten spirit stones, he only had the spirit chicken and the twenty-layer "Eternal Life Sutra" that he could take out.

The chicken brother can save money for spraying medicine, so he must not sell it. He dares not sell the "Eternal Life Sutra."

The last ten layers of the "Eternal Life Sutra" can increase life span by a total of one thousand years. One thousand years of life is not a small number. Most Gu cultivators cannot live for such a long time.

Nothing is more attractive than increasing life span. Once his "Eternal Life Sutra" is taken out, it is enough to attract those old monsters who are about to die.

Long Xuan inspected the stalls for a long time and finally stopped in front of an old man's stall, his eyes resting on a broken beehive.

The honeycomb was three-quarters damaged, and only two little bees were alive in the remaining one-quarter of the honeycomb. They were dying, and most of the eggs were dead. There were not many live eggs.

Seeing a customer stop by, the old man looked up and said with a smile: "This is the honeycomb of the middle-grade spiritual insect thorn bee. You know the horror of the middle-grade spiritual insect without me telling you. In order to get the honey from this honeycomb, I risked my life to get it."

"Honey has the effect of beauty. I have other uses for it, but there are still many bee pupae and thorn bees in the honeycomb. Since you are young, I will sell it to you cheaply. How about one hundred spiritual stones?"

Hearing this, Long Xuan remained calm, but he was secretly happy in his heart. This old man really made a mistake.

Although he was also short-sighted and didn't know what kind of bee insect this was, it was definitely not a thorn bee. It must be a high-grade species that looked very similar to the thorn bee.

After his research, the spiritual insect was immature.

The progress on the heads of low-grade spirit insects is accurate to two decimal places, which means that the maturity period is more than 10 years, but less than 100 years.

The progress on the heads of medium-grade spirit insects is accurate to three decimal places, which means that the maturity period is more than 100 years, but less than 1,000 years.

The progress on the heads of these two young bees is [82.3648%] and [82.3251%] respectively.

The progress is accurate to four decimal places. These are not high-grade spirit insects; their maturity period is more than a thousand years.

Long Xuan is determined to get this pair of unknown bees and insects. His golden finger can easily configure feed suitable for various spirit insects. He has already planned to breed spirit insects.

And the medicine garden of Elder Long is full of flowers, which is a good place to raise bees and insects. The food source of bees and insects can be directly obtained for free.

When they are raised to a certain scale, they can earn spirit stones by selling honey, which is another big way to make money.

After making up his mind, Long Xuan took a deep breath. Although he was very excited at this moment, he pretended to be very impatient.

"Do you think I'm young and easy to fool? Don't think I can't see that the bee pupae and bee worms inside are all dead, and only two are left half-dead."

"And the combat effectiveness of social spirit insects is much lower than that of solitary spirit insects. If there are tens of thousands of thorn bees, even the best spirit insects may have to temporarily avoid the edge."

"If there are only two, I'm afraid they can't even beat a low-grade spirit insect. If they are used to refine Gu, what's the use of two with an average success rate of one in a few tens of percent?"

"Given the health of these two bee worms, they may die as soon as I buy them back, so won't my one hundred spirit stones be wasted?"

"One price, ten spirit stones, if you don't sell it, I'll leave immediately!" Long Xuan pretended to leave.

"Oh, I've seen people haggle the price in half, but this is the first time I've seen someone haggle it down to one-tenth."

"I'm not lying to you. This thorn bee is really ferocious, but it cost me most of my fortune to get it. Even if it's only a hundred spirit stones, I'm still losing money. You might as well just kill me instead of giving me ten spirit stones."

Hearing this, Long Xuan wanted to laugh in his heart. That was a top-grade spirit insect; how could it not be fierce? He was lucky.

"What a joke! What does your heavy loss have to do with me? How can you include the loss in the price of the goods?"

"Whatever the price is, I won't pay a penny more."

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. The situation of these two bees is not good. It seems that they will not live long. The longer you delay, the greater the possibility that they will be in trouble."

"You can still get at least ten spirit stones if you sell them now. If no one buys them for a long time and these two bees die, you really won't be able to sell a single spirit stone."

Long Xuan's words completely hit his sore spot. His expression was hesitant. After struggling for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and said with pain in his heart: "Take it, take it. You are good at bargaining."

"But let me make a deal in advance. If the thorn bee dies when you get home, don't ask for repayment later. I won't acknowledge it even if you do."

Long Xuan ignored his words, took out the only ten spirit stones he had, and threw them on the stall with a painful look on his face. He picked up the beehive and held it in his hand.

In his opinion, the reason why the bees and insects were so depressed was because the old man was too stingy and took away all the honey and starved them.

The dead bees and insects in the hive may have starved to death.

As long as there is honey, it should not be a big problem to bring these two bees and insects back to life.

Long Xuan was really afraid that the two bees and insects would starve to death immediately, so he put the beehive into the insect breeding bag and left as soon as possible.

Although there were still many bargains waiting for him to pick up in the market, he was penniless now, so Long Xuan could only pray that those treasures did not meet buyers who knew the value of the goods and were not bought by others.

When he made a fortune again, he would come back to buy all the good things.

After Long Xuan hurried back home, he immediately hung the beehive on a fruit tree next to the medicine garden.

The flowers in the medicine garden are not ordinary wild flowers in the wild; they are first-class spiritual medicines, and the fragrance of the flowers is so rich.

When the fragrance of flowers drifted into the hive, the two languid bees suddenly became energetic, and they were instantly revived. They flew out of the hive impatiently and flew towards the sea of ​​flowers with shining eyes.

The two little bees happily pounced on a red flower, and then quickly flew out and drilled into a purple flower, frantically collecting pollen and nectar from the flower. They were busy and happy, and there was no half-dead look just now.

In less than a moment, the two little bees' short legs were covered with heavy pollen, which was so heavy that the two little bees could hardly fly. They flew into the nest swayingly and began to make honey happily.

Seeing this scene, Long Xuan was relieved. There are many ways to cultivate queen bees in this world that is good at playing with insects. He only waited to cultivate the two little bees into queen bees so that he could have endless honey.

Speaking of which, he was really curious about the taste of honey made from spiritual medicine nectar.

After that, Long Xuan took the purchased spiritual insects out of the insect breeding bag, and the bottles and jars soon filled the entire table.

Looking at the insect jars on the table, Long Xuan's heartbeat accelerated. He was preparing to refine the first Gu worm in his life, which made him nervous and excited.

This was his own Gu recipe, his unique Gu recipe. There were a hundred kinds of ingredients in the Gu recipe. He was looking forward to what kind of Gu worm this recipe would produce.
