Someone asked, why do mortals in this city come to this place where there is no place for shit? It is naturally because working in the spiritual mines, one year can be equal to ten years of wages outside. Here Ordinary people nod and bow in front of cultivators, but when they return home, they are nouveau riche. They can buy a house in one year, purchase land in two years, and have several concubines in three years, and live a life of hugging each other!

Gu Shi had been educated once when she got off the ship. She was an outsider with no roots, so she was naturally more cautious, so she did not go to the main street, but went to look for the side streets and alleys. After spending most of the day looking for a small shop, Gu Shiyi stepped in when he saw the words "Spirit Beast Studio" written on the plaque.

This small shop is not big. There is only a wooden counter on the left hand side. There is an old man who is taking a nap with his eyes narrowed. There are some cages hung on the beams of the shop. They are hung just above people's heads. When you look up, you can see several brightly colored cages. Unknown birds, when Gu Shiyi came in, one bird spat black smoke at her. Around the shop, cages were placed along the corners. There were also some small animals sleeping or walking back and forth in them. The walls There are also some furs, claws, animal heads and the like hanging on it.

Except for the things on the walls, this place looks like a pet shop.

When Gu Shiyi looked around, the old man didn't even open his eyes and asked,
"Mortal, what are you doing here?"

Gu Shiyi turned to look at him and saw that the other person had his eyes closed. He thought for a while and replied,
"Old sir, I just picked up something and wanted to ask..."

The old man still didn't open his eyes.
"Is it something hanging on your chest?"

Gu Shiyi knew that these cultivators had spiritual consciousness, just like X-rays. They could see it without having to say anything, so he nodded and took out the finger. She only took her finger with her when she went out today. First, I didn’t bring Li Yaner with me. What I was afraid of was being spotted.

The old man slowly opened his eyes, took the thing in Gu Shiyi's hand, looked at it and said,
"This is the abdominal limb of the Yukui beast...well...it is already an adult, the second of the sixteen pairs of abdominal limbs...the middle finger..."

The old man glanced at Gu Shiyi and said,
"You can't get this kind of thing!"

Gu Shiyi said honestly,
"It was picked up by a villain after someone chopped it off!"

The old man smiled and said,

"Hmph! You're lucky... But this thing has a lot of yin energy. It's okay for your body. If you meet a weak person, you will get seriously ill if you keep it with you for three months..."

After a pause, he asked Gu Shiyi again,

"Are you selling it or not?"

Gu Shiyi shook his head,

"I don't know what this thing is. I just want to ask what it is used for."

The old man thought for a while and said,
"I can tell you, but I can't tell you the rules in my store in vain..."

As he spoke, he looked her up and down,
"Looking at you, I'm afraid you don't have any spiritual stones or anything like that, right?"

Gu Shiyi smiled bitterly,
"You always have a bright eye. Let alone spiritual stones, I don't even have a few copper coins..."

She was really broke now, how about just eating and drinking on the boat?
The old man hummed after hearing this, thought for a moment and said,

"That's all, I've been lazy these past few days, so you can tidy up and clean up my shop to make up for the trouble!"

Gu Shixi nodded repeatedly with great joy, and hurriedly followed the old man's instructions to clean the floor of the store, changed the water for the various small animals in the cages, and also changed the food for the birds above his head. The old man Then he said with satisfaction,
"You're doing well, even if that's the case, I'll tell you!"

He put his fingers in the palm of his left hand and pointed with his right hand, only to see a black air coming out of that finger.
"This is Yin Qi. The fish-kui beast originally did not exist above the ground. It was the cracks in the ground that were opened during the Immortal War, allowing the underground rivers to connect to the ground, and releasing all the colorful Yin water from the ground. So You mortals cannot drink the water from this colorful river..."

After a pause, he said,
"The fish-kui beast lives in such yin water, so it is naturally a very yin thing. We cultivators are different from you mortals. This strange beast is very scary to you, but to us it is just a small fish in the river. They can be eaten and used to make elixirs, or you can raise a few to watch in the cave. Of course... monks who practice the Zhiyang method do not like these beasts with too much yin energy, and those who practice the Zhiyin method do not like these beasts. The situation is different for monks, but you only have a small finger, and if you sell it, it will only be worth a low-level spiritual stone..."

Gu Shiyi nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

"Then what's the use of these fingers besides refining elixirs?"

The old man said,

"You can still eat it...but it's not for you to eat. It's some ghosts and ghosts that can be eaten. After eating, it can strengthen the soul and condense the soul...well...there are fingernails on it, which is definitely an adult. You take off your fingernails, put them on your own nails, and when you encounter an invading enemy, just grab them..."

The old man gestured with his finger, and a black line appeared in the air where his finger crossed.

"If a mortal is caught like this, his whole body will rot and die!"

"so smart!"

Gu Shiyi was startled, and the old man snorted and said,

"The adult Yukui beast, even if it is a monk in the Nascent Soul stage, will take some trouble to take action. Naturally, it has its own extraordinary features... There are not many adult beasts like this in the river. If it can cultivate eighteen opponents Come, you can transform into a human... However, the Yukui beast is originally a strange beast underground. Now that it has run to the surface and seen the light of day, it is almost impossible to transform, so the sixteen pairs of abdominal limbs are already the ultimate Got it!"

After saying that, the old man returned his finger to Gu Shiyi.

"That's it, let's go!"

Gu Shiyi took the finger and bowed respectfully to the old man. He lowered his head and left the shop. The old man watched her leave with narrowed eyes and smiled.
"It seems to be a half-demon body, but the demon bloodline in the body has not yet awakened..."

This world is full of spiritual energy, and many demon clans can transform into human beings as long as they concentrate on it and have some opportunities. After transforming, the demon clan likes to mix in the mortal world, and some even have children, so the demon clan in this world There are many half-demon, but most of them do not live to adulthood, and even if they become adults, they rarely awaken. The old man has seen some like Gu Shiyi, and he just smiled and forgot about it. Afterwards, I continued to doze off in the store!
Gu Shiyi came out to look at the sky and found that the sun had set. He hurried back to the boat and told Li Yaner what he had inquired about from the old man.

"eat?"

Li Yaner had a question mark on her face, looked at the soft and white thing, and subconsciously swallowed the saliva she had left.
"Can you eat this?"

Gu Shi nodded,

"That's what the shopkeeper said..."

Speaking of this, I suddenly slapped my head,
"Oops, I forgot to ask him how he ate!"

After thinking about it,

"How about we ask again tomorrow?"

At worst, it’s just another day’s work!

Li Yaner nodded,
"How about you take me with you tomorrow?"

Gu Shiyi recalled the situation in the city today and saw that there were more cultivators, but they seemed to disdain to deal with mortals like her. No one would have any idea of ​​a little ghost like Yan'er, right?
"Okay, let's go tomorrow!" When Gu Shiyi went back the next day, the old man glanced at her chest in surprise.

"You brought a ghost here?"

Gu Shiyi stepped forward and saluted and said,

"I need you to remind me of the use of that finger. I happen to have a friend who was killed by someone earlier and lost his life. Now he can only possess a clay figurine. I want to use this finger." The head was eaten by her, but she didn’t know how to use it, so I can only shamelessly ask you again!”

The old man thought for a while and said,
"That's fine. It just so happens that there are a few little things in my backyard that I haven't fed today. Go and feed them!"

Gu Shixi responded with great joy,

"Don't worry, I will definitely do it for you!"

The old man chuckled and looked at her with a half-smile,
"You should go and take a look at it later!"

So Gu Shiyi followed the old man to his backyard, which was as big as two football fields. When he saw the strange beast in the animal pen, he couldn't help but stay there.

"You...you always call this a little thing?"

She pointed at the three-headed giant bull in the animal pen and asked the old man. The old man glanced at her and said,

"This is just a cub, what is it if it's not a little thing?"

"This...this is as big as a house!"

Gu Shiyi's mouth was wide enough to swallow an egg. When the old man saw that she looked like she had never seen the world, he couldn't help but smile, pointed at the bull's head and said,
"Look...the horns haven't even grown yet!"

After a pause, he said,
"This is a golden-horned beast. It is considered an adult only when three horns grow from its three heads. This golden-horned beast is stored here by a friend of mine. You can feed it this today..."

After saying that, he pointed at the yellow sand as high as a hill at the other corner.
"Eat...eat sand?"

Is this thing really so easy to raise? Can it be kept alive with just a little yellow sand?
Gu Shiyi still had a dull look on his face, and the old man hummed,
"What do you know? This is not ordinary yellow sand. This is the associated mineral of the spiritual veins...Juling sand. It eats a hundred kilograms a day. You use a shovel to shovel it and feed it..."

Then he pointed to the back of the column,

"Collect the shit it pulled out..."

Gu Shiyi didn't close his mouth at all, and still looked at the old man with a dull expression. The old man said,

"The food it pulls is so good that you may still be able to eat it. You'll know later!"

"Oh……"

Gu Shi nodded expressionlessly, and then followed the old man to see a sheep that looked like an ordinary goat.
"What..."

The sheep barked at Gu Shiyi, then lowered his head and dug on the ground. Only then did Gu Shiyi realize that the sheep's four hooves were shiny, as if they were made of gold. The old man said,

"This is a spirit-seeking beast raised by the steward in the spirit mine. Let it go out and wander around in the mountains to find its spiritual veins. You must take good care of it..."

This kind of sheep is easy to raise. They eat grass soaked in spiritual spring water. Then Gu Shiyi saw a real little guy, a tiny one that looked like the tarsier she had seen on TV. They look very similar, but they are all white and have a long tail.

Women have never been able to resist furry things, and Gu Shiyi was no exception. He took the little monkey that the old man took out of the cage and stroked it lovingly.

"What kind of monkey is this?"

The old man chuckled,
"Monkey... do you think it's the kind that robs people on the road outside in the mountains? This little thing is a flying macaque. Because it is still a baby, it has not grown wings. Be careful not to touch its chin. It has venom glands on its chin. If you, a mortal, touch it, your entire body will turn black immediately, and you will be poisoned and die!"

Gu Shiyi was startled, and quickly took away the finger that wanted to scratch the little guy's chin, and said with a smile,
"Old sir, the strange beasts here are indeed extraordinary!"

The old man snorted and said,

"This little guy hasn't eaten much in the past two days, so you are responsible for feeding him today... Well, considering that you are a mortal and your body is weak, I won't embarrass you, that's all. Now that you have taken care of these three little things, I will tell you how to cook the abdominal limbs of this fish and Kui beast, and I will even let you borrow my kitchen here!"

"Thank you, old sir!"

Gu Shiyi was surprised and happy. He hugged the little monkey and bowed deeply...

For the next work, Gu Shiyi worked from morning until dusk. She first went to feed the three-headed golden-horned beast. The Soul-Gathering Sand looked like ordinary yellow sand. Gu Shiyi went over with a shovel. Only when you shovel it down will you realize how powerful it is.

"My...my mother! It's so heavy!"

With such a small shovel, Gu Shiyi had to exert all her energy to suck the milk. After walking a few more steps, she fell into the stone trough in front of the animal pen. Thanks to the old Taoist priests who had beaten her body since she was a child, she had no strength. Much bigger than the average person, it still took him most of a day to shovel a hundred kilograms of sand for the three cows to eat. Fortunately, the three-headed cows looked scary but had a gentle temperament. eat.

Gu Shiyi climbed over the animal pen to shovel poop for it, but it only stepped aside and allowed Gu Shiyi to shovel its behind. The fuming daddy was shoveled into the cart and pushed aside. The animal pen was also cleaned with clean water.

"Moo..."

The three heads shouted at Gu Shiyi with great satisfaction, and when they exhaled "fragrance", they made Gu Shi somersault...

After that, Gu Shiyi went to feed the sheep again. The sheep had a bad temper. When Gu Shiyi approached, he lowered his head and flashed the horns on his head. Gu Shiyi quickly handed it a handful of grass, and finally took it. After it was coaxed, it went into the animal pen to clean it. During the process, it accidentally got kicked. Gu Shiyi got up and wanted to kick the thing.
"uh-huh!"

The old man in the hall outside suddenly coughed.
"I told you, this thing is fostered by me. If you kick it and break it, you won't be able to leave my shop without me causing trouble for you!"

Gu Shiyi was so frightened that he hurriedly bowed his head and smiled at the sheep, raised his thumb and said,
"You, old man, are doing a good job! A wonderful job! It's amazing! If you're not satisfied yet, can you try it again?"

"Bah!"

The sheep rolled his eyes at her and turned away from her!
