Immortal Refiner

Chapter 402 Snake Shedding

The monks who summoned the monsters couldn't help but show a little panic.

Since they signed the master-recognition contract for their spirit beasts, this was the first time they encountered such a monster that seemed to be out of control.

"What the hell is going on!"

"Unbelievable, my black water turtle is the most docile, why is it so restless today?"

"Excuse me, what exactly is this red crystal?"

Obviously, these tamed spirit beasts are so impatient today, all because of the red irregular crystal block called red crystal in the hand of the hooded black-clothed man on the stage!

There are many beastmasters present, who are absolutely familiar with the habits of various monsters, and the situation that will appear today is quite unexpected.

The two people wearing bamboo hats who were separated by the crowd also showed surprised eyes at this moment.

"Uncle Fu, what is this? It can actually make so many monsters feel such strong desire."

The tall and burly Uncle Fu shook his head slowly at this moment and said, "I don't know, but even the high-quality beast attractant powder prepared by the beastmaster can't make the spirit beasts that have already recognized their master change like this."

"The world of cultivation is so big that there are really all kinds of wonders. This mysterious crystal is unheard of and unseen!"

Hearing that even the knowledgeable Uncle Fu himself could not recognize the mysterious thing of this red crystal, the young man wearing a bamboo hat suddenly became curious.

And Li Qing on the stage was quite satisfied with the surprised reactions of the people present.

"If you think that the red crystal only has the effect of attracting monsters, you are wrong!"

"This thing can cause the blood of monsters to mutate. As long as a first-level monster swallows the next one, its strength will usher in a rapid growth, and it may even cause the monster to begin to break through the level!"

Li Qing said confidently, his tone full of confidence in the red crystal in his hand.

"It's ridiculous. If you want to make the blood of a monster beast mutate, there is absolutely no other thing that can do it except for a few specific natural treasures!"

"Yeah, one can make the monster beast's strength grow rapidly? You can't say that!"

"I don't believe it either. Maybe this thing is made from some kind of beast-attracting powder."

A cultivator who is a beastmaster argued that he absolutely didn't believe that the red crystal that Li Qing took out would have such a magical effect.

Li Qing was not angry about these doubts, but just said calmly:

"I can understand that you fellow Taoists don't believe it. When I first saw this thing, I also reacted in this way."

"In this case, I will sell this first red crystal for 300 spirit stones, but there is a condition, that is, after buying it, it must be given to the monster on the spot, so that everyone can see the effect of this red crystal!"

"From now on, each red crystal will be auctioned at a reserve price of 1,000 spirit stones, and the highest bidder will win!"

As Li Qing's voice came out, everyone looked at each other again.

Three hundred spirit stones are indeed not a small amount, but if it is really as Li Qing said, it can make the monster's bloodline mutate, its strength advance by leaps and bounds, and it is even very likely to break through the level, then three thousand spirit stones are worth it!

After all, the second-level monster is equivalent to the foundation-building period of human cultivators. Just using this amount of spirit stones can get a combat power equivalent to that of a foundation-building cultivator, and it is also loyal to oneself. That is a very cost-effective thing!

In an instant, everyone began to whisper again.

"Three hundred spirit stones just to buy an unknown?"

"On the first day of the black market, this should be somewhat credible, otherwise it would be a self-destructive sign?"

"This thing is too evil, and the evil spirit is extremely strong. I am afraid what if the monster eats it and something goes wrong?"

Normally, beastmasters rarely feed their beasts to eat anything indiscriminately, especially things of unknown origin.

If the monster beast has any bad changes, it will be the end. After all, it takes a lot of effort to capture a monster beast and then subdue it to recognize its master.

"Daoyou, why don't you try it? Anyway, the vitality of the black water turtle is strong. Even if there is a problem with the red crystal, it will not have much impact on your black water turtle."

Someone encouraged a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training who raised a black water turtle.

The black water turtle has a long lifespan and extremely tenacious vitality. Even if it is seriously injured, this turtle can slowly repair itself with some of its own water-attributed innate magical powers. As long as there is enough time, it can definitely recover as before.

"Haha, Daoyou are joking. Although I want my black water turtle to try it, I can't take out three hundred spirit stones." The cultivator who raised the black water turtle laughed dryly, obviously not intending to make such a risky attempt.

Seeing that no one was willing to be the first person to eat crabs, Li Qing frowned slightly and continued to add fuel to the fire.

"Everyone, the brave ones enjoy the world first, I have said all. If no one is willing to try, then let's stop here today and enter the free trade phase next."

Finally, a hesitant voice rang out.

"Wait, I am willing to make this attempt, but I don't have enough spirit stones on hand, only a little over 200. Can I mortgage it with other things?"

A white feather snake surrounded the person who spoke. The snake was coiled on the ground, and its vertical pupils were fixed on the red crystal in Li Qing's hand.

It can be imagined that if the beastmaster beside him had not held it down, the white feather snake would have rushed forward regardless of everything.

Just when Li Qing was about to agree, a young man wearing a bamboo hat said loudly:

"I will make up for the spiritual stones that this Taoist fellow does not have. I want to see if this red crystal is really as magical as you said!"

After saying that, the man threw a medium-grade spiritual stone to Li Qing on the stand without hesitation.

Snap!

Li Qing just stretched out two slender fingers and clamped the medium-grade spiritual stone in his hand.

\u0026t;divtentadv\u0026gt;"This Taoist fellow is really righteous!"

To be honest, if he hadn't known it in advance, he would even doubt whether this young man wearing a bamboo hat was deliberately arranged for him by Shen Ningbing.

Of course, that was impossible. Shen Ningbing had never mentioned this to him before, and now he was hiding to provide security for the black market.

With her fighting power that was infinitely close to the late stage of foundation building and her ice-attributed spiritual roots, Li Qing still had great confidence in her.

Soon, another person from the audience threw up a bag of 200 spiritual stones.

Two hundred spiritual stones plus one medium-grade spiritual stone, exactly 300!

After confirming the number, Li Qing threw the red crystal that he had been holding tightly in his hand directly at the cultivator who raised the white-feathered snake.

Whoosh!

The cultivator hurriedly received the red crystal, and many people gathered around him, looking at this mysterious red crystal.

The whole was transparent like crystal, with a hint of blood on it, looking extremely weird.

"This white-feathered snake is about to break free from the control of the spirit contract. How can it be so attractive to monsters?"

"Just for the attraction of monsters, this thing is worth a lot of money. If we take it to the Giant Tree Forest in the future, we may be able to attract many monsters!"

"Hurry up and let the white-feathered snake eat it!"

Hearing the urging of the crowd and the eagerness of the white-feathered snake, this person's face became slightly fierce, and then handed the red crystal to the mouth of the white-feathered snake.

Gurgle!

In just a blink of an eye, the white-feathered snake swallowed the red crystal into its stomach.

In an instant, the white-feathered snake stood straight, as if it had suffered a fatal injury, and stood stiffly in place, motionless.

Straight for the rest of its life!

"No! Xiaobai!" The monk who raised the white-feathered snake exclaimed.

Before he could ask Li Qing about it, the stiff white-feathered snake twisted and trembled.

"Hiss! Hiss!"

The white-feathered snake suddenly opened its vertical pupils, but the originally white pupils turned blood red at this moment.

The snake kept spitting out its tongue, as if it was experiencing extreme pain.

Then, white feathers fell off its body one by one, and then layers of old skin were squeezed out by it.

"It is actually shedding its skin, how is it possible? When the white-feathered snake is at the first level, it will shed a layer of old skin every time it is promoted to a higher level."

"But each shedding of skin takes at least several decades, and even in some places with thin spiritual energy, this time is longer."

A knowledgeable beastmaster said solemnly, but his tone was full of deep shock.

"I've heard that, especially when it sheds its skin for the third time, the old skin shed by the white-feathered snake can even be used as medicine."

"Brother, how many times has your white-feathered snake shed its skin?"

The snake owner said in a daze: "It should be the third time. When I got it, it was already a first-order intermediate demon beast."

While talking, the white-feathered snake actually broke free from its old skin in one breath. It had not grown feathers yet, and now it looked extremely smooth and white.

The next moment, someone exclaimed:

"Look! What is it doing?"

Swish!

Everyone cast their eyes over.

On the white and smooth body of the white-feathered snake, there were strange red lines.

And then, dark red feathers grew out from its body.

!!!

"Red feathers? How could it be?! Isn't this a white-feathered snake?"

"Unbelievable, I'm afraid the blood of this white-feathered snake has really begun to mutate."

"Maybe it will be called a red-feathered snake in the future!"

After a long while, when the dark red feathers covered the snake's body again, this amazing mutation was coming to an end.

Boom!

The thin spiritual energy in the underground shelter was instantly drawn in, and then a large amount of it swept towards the red-feathered snake that had completed its transformation.

"This snake is already a late-stage first-order demon beast, and it is not far from the second-order level!"

"Gulp!"

Someone swallowed a mouthful of saliva to calm down the shaking emotions in his heart.
