Immortality and Immortality: Liver Experience Begins in the Desert

Chapter 6 Trading

In the spacious tent, the steward looked up at Jiang Qiong and He Yan and asked:

"What good things have you caught?"

Jiang Qiong poured out all the monsters in the wooden box and said, "Reporting to the manager, I was lucky enough to catch a green shadow fox and some uninfluenced little monsters."

"Hey, with the help of Brother Qiong, I caught a wild pig." He Yan followed up and poured out the monster.

"You two did well."

The steward gave a simple approval, glanced at Jiang Qiong's harvest, took out a wooden slip, and traced a series of numbers on it.

"Qingying Fox, exchange for three hundred and seventeen contribution points."

"."

"Iron-skinned ant, exchange for thirteen contribution points."

"."

"Rock oxworm, exchange for twenty-one contribution points."

"."

After counting Jiang Qiong's harvest, the steward said, "There are a total of 436 contribution points, all on the wooden slips. Take them."

Later, he counted the harvest of the congratulations and also gave him a wooden slip with the points of contribution engraved on it.

"Thank you, steward."

Jiang Qiong took the wooden slip and thanked him.

Immediately afterwards, he told the story about the animal trap and asked the doubts in his heart:

"Master Steward, this time we went hunting, the effectiveness of the trap became worse. I wonder what the reason is?"

The steward of the Qin family narrowed his eyes, remained silent for a moment, and said, "Someone has already reported to me about the animal trap."

"I asked the leader, and he said that he had sent a message to the family. The answer he received was that the direct descendant of the Qin family who was responsible for purchasing thunder beads bought a large number of lower quality thunder beads at a high price due to drunkenness and negligence."

"Currently, this direct lineage has been punished by the Qin family."

Speaking of this, the steward of the Qin family narrowed his eyes and said, "Maybe your animal traps will be less effective for a long time to come."

"how so."

He Yan's expression changed slightly. For a monk with a lower level like him, he mainly relied on animal traps for hunting.

The effect of the animal trap has become worse. If we continue to hunt, we will have to fight with monsters!

He Yan couldn't help but shiver when he thought of the scene of him fighting the wild pig in the early morning.

"The effectiveness of the animal traps has become worse, the risk of hunting has increased, and the life of casual cultivators has become increasingly difficult."

When Jiang Qiong heard this, her face was also a little ugly.

The faults of the direct line of the Qin family must be borne by the casual cultivators of the hunting team.

To be honest, he naturally didn't want to increase the risk of hunting.

But now looking at the attitude of the Qin family in managing affairs, I am afraid it is inevitable.

"Let's go."

After figuring out the reason why the trap was less effective, Jiang Qiong did not stay in the steward's tent longer and walked out with a congratulatory message.

Walking straight along the sand path at the door, He Yan sighed and said worriedly:

"Oh, the effect of the thunder beads has weakened. Brother Qiong, how do we hunt in the future? Should we buy one or two spiritual talismans from the Qin family every time before collecting the basket?"

He Yan estimated that without the magic talisman, it would be difficult for him to kill a first-level low-grade monster.

"Let me tell you, in the next period of time, we will focus on capturing monsters that have not yet entered the mainstream. It will be safer this way."

"When I return to the oasis, I'll find a stable job."

Jiang Qiong replied: "After all, the risk of hunting is inherently high. The main reason why so many casual cultivators are willing to come is that the income from spiritual stones is also high."

"If you have to buy amulets for protection every time before collecting the basket, the income will be greatly reduced. It is better to stay in the oasis and serve as a nursing home for others."

"It makes sense." He Yan thought for a moment, nodded and said, "It's too risky to capture another first-level monster. It's better to hunt down the unqualified monster honestly. Saving your life is the most important thing."

"After you finish this trip, go back to the oasis to recuperate for a while."

"However, the salary of being a nursing home is too low. Depending on the situation, I may join the hunting teams of other forces and continue to hunt monsters in the desert."

Maybe the family is under too much pressure and urgently needs some spiritual stones.

After thinking about it, He Yan looked helpless and still chose to hunt the monster.

Jiang Qiong nodded lightly and said no more.

He left the desert and returned to the oasis. What he wanted was to cultivate steadily and have a golden finger by his side. As long as he could hold on, the road would be smooth.

As for other people, they have their own life trajectories, and it is the most benevolent thing to say a few words at critical moments.

After a brief exchange of words and a congratulatory message, Jiang Qiong returned to the tent and turned to find Wei Hai, preparing to buy some bait.

Walked along the sand path for a while.

When Jiang Qiong passed by a tent, she saw a group of casual cultivators walking out.

They looked slightly silent, carrying three coffins with exquisite carvings. No one spoke, and the atmosphere seemed cold. In the blink of an eye, the group of casual cultivators carried the coffin away, and their figures quickly disappeared into the vast sand wall.

"There are dead people in the camp!"

Jiang Qiong's eyes narrowed, and in a blink of an eye he saw Wei Hai walking out of the tent, looking at the backs of a group of monks carrying coffins as they left.

"Uncle Hai, what happened?" Jiang Qiong asked.

"Alas, Lao He and his two nephews accidentally lost their lives while hunting the blue-eyed viper last night."

Wei Hai sighed, his expression slightly sad.

"While they were trying to prevent the Blue-Eyed Viper from escaping, they were struck by the demonic snake. Their bones and meridians were shattered on the spot, and half of their bodies were bitten. They died tragically in front of everyone."

"This"

Suddenly hearing the bad news in the camp, Jiang Qiong couldn't help but fall into silence.

He had an impression of Lao He. He was a taciturn old man. He was at the fourth level of Qi training. He had been wandering in the desert for more than thirty years and had rich experience.

His two nephews have also been hunting in the desert for more than ten years. They are both Menghulu and are at the third level of Qi training.

Unexpectedly, the three of them died together in the desert.

Really, things are unpredictable. People who could still be seen last night were all gone in the morning.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qiong felt a little emotional.

"Lao He and his nephew are both at a higher level than me and have rich hunting experience. They both died in one night."

"I am only at the second level of the Qi Training Realm. I need to be more careful and guard against arrogance and impatience to avoid following in their footsteps."

Jiang Qiong originally broke through the realm last night and killed a first-level low-level monster early in the morning, so she was still a little excited and inflated.

But what happened to Lao He and others was like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the arrogance in his heart and allowing him to regain a cautious attitude.

After all, you only have one life, and you should cherish it. There is no room for carelessness.

"That's all, don't mention such sad things."

Wei Hai calmed down and asked, "You guys are looking for me to buy rat bait?"

"Yeah." Jiang Qiong nodded.

"I was busy killing the blue-eyed viper last night, and helped pack up the belongings of Lao He and his nephew in the morning, so I didn't have time to make bait."

Wei Hai thought for a while and asked: "But I have a damaged first-level low-grade magic weapon in my hand. Do you want it?"

Jiang Qiong rolled his eyes slightly and asked curiously: "Oh? What magical weapon?"

"The defensive type of 'Stone Crystal Shield' I bought for more than 30 spiritual stones back then. It has been with me for several years and has been severely worn. When I killed a viper last night, it blocked a blow for me and almost completely shattered."

Wei Hai took off the round shield as big as the palm of his hand from his waist, injected spiritual energy into it, and it instantly expanded and became larger. It looked crystal clear and covered with spiderweb-like cracks.

"Um, does this still work?"

Jiang Qiong's eyes widened, he looked at Shi Jingdun up and down, and couldn't help but ask.

Judging from the shabby appearance, it might fall apart in the next moment, which makes people doubt its practicality.

"Don't worry about this. This stone crystal shield can at least block five or six attacks from first-order low-grade monsters."

Wei Hai patted his chest and promised, but in Jiang Qiong's doubtful eyes, his voice became smaller and smaller.

Apparently, he was just guessing at the number of uses.

Jiang Qiong asked: "What's the price?"

Thinking that she currently had no protective spiritual object on her body, Jiang Qiong couldn't help but look at Shi Jingdun twice, feeling a little moved.

If it's cheap, you can buy it for protection.

Wei Hai thought for a moment and said, "Three spiritual stones!"

"So expensive!" Hearing this, Jiang Qiong waved her hand and said, "Forget it, I can't afford it. You can sell it to someone else."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Buying three spiritual stones for a magic weapon that is about to be scrapped is something that only fools and fools can do.

Looking at the enshrined guest ministers in the early stage of Qi training in the oasis, their annual salary is only three to five spiritual stones.

With these spiritual stones in hand, it is better to buy a good spiritual amulet to protect yourself.

"Wait!" Wei Hai stopped Jiang Qiong, gritted his teeth and said, "I also have an 'ancient book on weapon repair' written by a weapon refiner here."

"If you can learn one or two moves from it, you will most likely be able to repair this magical weapon."

"How about it? If you buy a stone crystal shield, I can give you this ancient book."
