Chapter 62 Booking the Blood of the Green Water Python
"Without further ado, Wu Daoyou, why don't you take me to your good friend's house now?"
Lu Xuan put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at the monk named Wu expectantly.
"I don't know if he is at home now... But Fellow Daoist Lu is so anxious, so there must be something important, 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 and went 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 stone house is quite spacious, but it feels cold when you get closer.
Lu Xuan followed the monk surnamed Wu into the stone house. His skin was stimulated by the cold breath, and dense goosebumps appeared involuntarily.
As soon as they entered, a green python came out and stopped not far from the two of them, hissing and spitting out snake messages.
"Xiao Lu, come back, it's Uncle Wu."
A slightly childish voice came from inside the stone house. Immediately, the voice turned into a hissing whisper, and the green python in front of Lu Xuan turned into a green light and returned the same way.
A boy of thirteen or fourteen years old walked out of it, and the python instantly got into the boy's sleeve.
Although the python is huge, from the outside it is not apparent that there is a python hidden in the boy's thin body, as if the two are integrated into one.
Only then did Lu Xuan see the young man's appearance clearly. He was thin and pale, his eyes were narrowed into two slits, and his lips were extremely thin. When he smiled at the monk surnamed Wu, he revealed his slightly sharp teeth.
"Uncle Wu, my father is out. Grandpa and I are the only ones at home."
"I know, I came here today because of other things."
The monk surnamed Wu introduced Lu Xuan to the young man, and Lu Xuan learned that the young man's name was Yu Jie. The three of them lived together, and his father was away from home for many years, hunting snakes and 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 sensibly, and called his grandfather out.
"Uncle Yu Tong, this is my neighbor, a spiritual planter, named Lu Xuan."
"Friend Lu Dao, this old man is my good friend's father, senior Yu Tong."
Lu Xuan saluted and greeted.
The two followed the old man into the room and sat down. 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 his eyes made Lu Xuan feel extremely strange, as if he was being stared at by a poisonous tongue, but he didn't feel any malice, only pure curiosity.
Seeing Lu Xuan turning back to look at him, he lowered his head shyly.
"Uncle Yu Tong, senior brother Yu has gone out, right?"
"Yes, he went to the wilderness. When he comes back, remember to come and get fresh snake bones and gallbladder."
The old man said slowly.
"Don't worry about that. This time, it's me, the neighbor monk, who came here to ask my uncle if he has something to do."
The monk surnamed Wu expressed his intention to come.
"I heard that my uncles have been catching snakes for a living for generations and have unique secret techniques for hunting snake monsters."
"I just want to ask, how is the blood of the snake monsters killed usually treated?"
"Snake monster blood?"
"This is not widely used. Only when you meet monks with special needs, or the blood of the snake beasts you kill has a certain value, will you bring the snake blood back."
Lu Xuan nodded.
The old man continued.
"Since blood needs to be kept as fresh as possible and cannot be stored for a long time, it is not brought back often."
"Usually it is used as a material for alchemists to refine some special elixirs, or occasionally monks need the blood of snake monsters to practice their skills."
"What grade is the snake monster usually hunted? Can the number of hunted monsters be guaranteed for a long time?"
"Most of them are non-grade 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. They are inaccessible and there are many snakes and beasts."
Lu Xuan nodded when he heard this and felt relieved.
"It's like this. I need a long-term and quantitative supply of snake blood, preferably first grade or above, second grade even better."
As for the third-level snake demon, there is no need to think about it. The third-level snake demon is already equivalent to a foundation-building monk. Even if one is found in the wilderness, the snake catcher with the sixth level of Qi training will only end up delivering food.
"Second-grade snake-like monsters, let me think about it. There is a green anaconda with red blood with green tints. 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, there will be no problem."
The dragon vine will appear abnormal after being watered with snake blood. Lu Xuan estimated that if it is cultivated with some kind of snake blood containing special characteristics for a long time, in addition to promoting the rapid growth of the dragon vine, it may bring about unexpected changes.
"It is still possible to provide them for a long time, but the quantity will not be particularly large. After all, the number of second-grade green anacondas is not very large, and it is somewhat difficult to deal with them."
"I wonder what the price is?"
Lu Xuan asked curiously.
"Ten spiritual stones per pound, what do you think?" the old man asked tentatively.
Lu Xuan almost couldn't control his expression. The small bottle of double-winged golden-scaled snake blood he got from Wanbao Tower a while ago cost him a full seven spirit stones.
Although the price is slightly higher because it is a pre-order, seven spiritual stones can buy a bottle of first-grade snake blood that is less than one pound, and ten spiritual stones can buy one pound of second-grade snake demon snake blood. Which one is more cost-effective at a glance?
.
"It's still the middlemen who make a lot of money..."
He couldn't help but lament in his heart that the snake blood material itself was of extremely low value, but after Wanbaolou's treatment, the price increased by an unknown amount.
Buying raw materials directly from the producer Yu's family can save a lot of spiritual stones than buying from other channels. What's more, second-grade snake blood can be provided to himself steadily, which makes it difficult for Lu Xuan, who likes to bargain, to be generous.
"OK, alright."
He nodded directly in agreement.
Next to them, Yu Tong and the young man Yu Jie couldn't help but smile with satisfaction on their faces.
In the past, when hunting snake monsters, unless the monks had specific requirements, the snake blood brought back would not fetch a good price. It was often unsaleable and had to be thrown away. Only the first or second grade blood could be sold.
some prices.
Ten spirit stones of the blood of a second-grade jade python can make you much more money than before. The little risk brought by hunting the second-grade snake demon is nothing compared to the benefit of the spiritual stones.
In addition, the precious snake skin, snake bones, snake gallbladder, and snake venom of the second-grade green anaconda...
The old Yu Tong wanted to return to his peak and experience the feeling of hunting a second-grade snake monster.
The two parties made a simple contract. The Yu family currently did not have second-grade green water python blood. Lu Xuan left five spirit stones as a deposit. When Yu Jie's father came back, he would send the green water python blood and pay the remaining spirit stones.
Before leaving, the old man Yu Tong also deliberately took out a gradeless demon snake from the inner courtyard, killed it and took it, filled a bottle full of snake blood, and asked Lu Xuan to take it back with him no matter what.
Lu Xuan declined in every possible way, but he couldn't refuse, so he had to accept the bottle of snake blood.
