Chapter 62 Reserved Aquacona Blood
"Without delay, why don't you take me to your friend's house right now, fellow Daoist Wu?"
Lu Xuan put down the wine glass in his hand, and looked at the monk surnamed Wu expectantly.
"I don't know if he is at home now... But fellow Daoist Lu is so anxious, it should be something urgent, so I will take you there."
The monk surnamed Wu saw that Lu Xuan was like this, and he had more free time, so he took Lu Xuan out to the home of the snake-catching monk.
After walking for about two minutes, the two came to a blue and black stone house.
The area of the stone house is quite spacious, but when you approach it, you feel a chill.
Lu Xuan followed the monk surnamed Wu into the stone house, his skin was irritated by the cold breath, and dense goose bumps involuntarily appeared on his skin.
As soon as they entered, a green python came out and stopped not far from the two of them, hissing and spitting out snake letters.
"Xiaolu, come back, it's Uncle Wu."
A slightly immature voice came from inside the stone house, and then the voice changed into hissing whispers, and the green python in front of Lu Xuan and the others turned into a green light, and returned the same way.
A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy walked out of it, and the python got into the boy's cuff in an instant.
Although the boa constrictor is huge, there is no way to tell from the outside that there is a boa constrictor hidden in the young man's thin body, as if the two are integrated into one.
It was only now that Lu Xuan saw the appearance of the young man. He was thin and pale, his eyes were narrowed into two thin slits, and his lips were extremely thin. When he grinned at the monk surnamed Wu, his slightly sharp teeth were exposed.
"Uncle Wu, my father has gone out, and grandpa and I are at home."
"I know, coming here today is something else."
A monk surnamed Wu introduced to Lu Xuan and the young man, and Lu Xuan learned that the young man's name was Yu Jie, and the three of them lived together. His father was away all year round, hunting snake-like monsters for a living.
"Grandpa is raising little snakes in the backyard!"
Young Yu Jie looked at Lu Xuan curiously, walked into the backyard very sensiblely, and called his grandfather out.
"Uncle Yu Tong, this is my neighbor, a spiritual planter, named Lu Xuan."
"Fellow Daoist Lu, this old man is my friend's father, senior Yu Tong."
Lu Xuan saluted and greeted.
The two followed the old man into the room and sat down. The young Yu Jie came in with three cups of hot tea, and then sat obediently in the corner without saying a word, looking at Lu Xuan curiously from time to time.
The look in the eyes made Lu Xuan feel extremely strange, as if being stared at by a poisonous tongue, but he didn't feel any malice, only pure curiosity.
Seeing Lu Xuan looking back at him, he lowered his head shyly.
"Uncle Yu Tong, Brother Yu has gone out, right?"
"Yes, I went to the wilderness. When he comes back, you remember to come and get fresh snake bones and snake gall."
The old man said slowly.
"Don't worry about that. This time, it's my neighbor cultivator who came here to ask uncle about something."
The monk surnamed Wu expressed his intention to come.
"I heard that my uncles have lived by catching snakes for generations, and they have unique secret skills in hunting snake monsters."
"I want to ask, how to deal with the blood of the hunted snake demon?"
"Snake monster blood?"
Lu Xuan nodded.
The old man continued.
"Because the blood needs to be kept as fresh as possible and cannot be stored for a long time, it is not brought back many times."
"Generally, it is used as a material for alchemists to refine some special elixirs, or occasionally monks need the blood of snake-like monsters to practice exercises."
"What is the grade of the snake monster hunted? Can the number of hunted be guaranteed for a long time?"
"Most of them are grade-less and first-grade snake monsters, and there are also second-grade snake monsters. As for the number, you don't have to worry about this. We have mastered several monster snake habitats in the wilderness. There are few people and there are many snake beasts."
Lu Xuan nodded upon hearing this, and felt relieved.
"It's like this. I need a long-term quantitative snake blood. It's better to have more than one grade, and the second grade is better."
As for the third rank, don’t even think about it. The third rank snake demon is already equivalent to a foundation-building monk. Even if one is found in the wilderness, the snake catcher at the sixth level of Qi training will only end up delivering food.
"Second-grade snake monster, let me think about it. There is a green anaconda whose blood is red and green. It can be used to refine some kind of antidote elixir. What do you think?"
Yu Tong thought for a while, and said to Lu Xuan.
"As long as it can be provided for a long time, it's fine."
After the vines are watered with snake blood, they will produce abnormal shapes. Lu Xuan estimates that if they are cultivated with snake blood containing certain characteristics for a long time, in addition to promoting the rapid growth of the vines, it may bring about unexpected changes.
"Long-term supply is still possible, but the quantity will not be particularly large. After all, the number of second-grade anacondas is not very large, and it is somewhat difficult to deal with."
"I wonder how much the price is?"
Lu Xuan asked curiously.
"Ten spirit stones weigh one catty, what do you think?" the old man asked tentatively.
Lu Xuan almost couldn't control his expression. The small bottle of double-winged golden-scale snake blood he got from Wanbao Building a while ago cost him a total of seven spirit stones.
Although the price has risen slightly due to the reservation, it is clear at a glance which is more cost-effective to buy a bottle of first-grade snake blood less than a catty with seven spirit stones, or to buy a second-grade snake demon snake blood with ten spirit stones .
"The middleman still makes a lot of money..."
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the value of the snake blood material itself is extremely low, but after Wanbaolou's hand, the price has risen by an unknown amount.
Buying raw materials directly from the producer Yu's family saves a lot of spiritual stones than buying from other channels. What's more, the second-grade snake blood can be provided to him stably, which makes Lu Xuan, who likes to bargain, rare and generous.
"OK, alright."
He nodded in agreement directly.
Beside Yu Tong and the young Yu Jie couldn't help showing satisfied smiles on their faces.
In the past, when hunting snake monsters, if it was not specifically requested by the monks, the snake blood brought back generally could not be sold at a good price, and often fell into a situation of slow sales, and had to be dumped in the end. some price.
Ten spirit stones for a catty of second-grade blue water python blood is much more profitable than before. The little risk brought by hunting the second-grade snake demon is nothing compared to the benefits of spirit stones.
Plus the precious snake skin, snake bone, snake gall, snake venom of the second-grade jade anaconda itself...
Yu Tong, who was already getting old, wanted to return to the top, and experience the feeling of hunting the second-grade snake demon again.
The two parties made a simple contract. The Yu family does not have the second-grade Azurite python blood now. Lu Xuan left five spirit stones as a deposit. When Yu Jie's father returns, he will send the Azurite python blood and pay the remaining spirit stones.
Before leaving, the old man Yu Tong deliberately took out a rank-less monster snake from the inner courtyard, killed it now and took it immediately, filled a bottle full of snake blood, and wanted Lu Xuan to take it back no matter what.
Lu Xuan refused in every possible way, but he couldn't refuse, so he had to accept this bottle of snake blood.
