Chapter 721: Golden-Striped Citrus, Magical Fruit (Subscribe, Collect)

Chapter 722 Golden-patterned tangerines, magical spiritual fruits (please subscribe, please collect)

But it was this inconspicuous existence hidden in the golden tangerines that made Sun Mingzeng, a knowledgeable fourth-level Jindan cultivator, suddenly open his eyes.

And with the fluctuations of his mood, his cultivation aura was almost completely exposed. Fortunately, he forcibly suppressed it at the critical moment.

The golden tangerine itself is just a relatively common first-grade high-quality spiritual fruit. The mature spiritual fruit contains a relatively rich spiritual power, but the spiritual fruit itself has certain defects, and the spiritual power contained in it is relatively fierce.

For cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, this burst of spiritual power is likely to have a negative impact on the meridians, so most of them are used to cultivate some thick-skinned spiritual beasts.

Therefore, the sales of these golden tangerines are not too wide, and the price itself is naturally limited, otherwise they would not be piled up in large quantities outside by the store.

In the entire Song State, the Beast Taming Sect is a major consumer of kumquats, and more than 80% of the spiritual fruits are transported to the Beast Taming City Market for sale.

In recent years, the Sun family has continuously invested heavily in the Spiritual Beast Valley, and the demand for kumquats is also growing. The purchase price is slightly higher than that of the Beast Taming Sect, so some weak caravans will transport the spiritual fruits here for sale.

Of course, the number of kumquats purchased by the Sun family each year is limited, and each time they order in advance with familiar caravans. The kumquats purchased by this store are obviously not within this range, and they should be prepared to wait for an opportunity to sell in the market.

The Beast Taming Sect is famous for its beast control, especially after the fourth-level lower-grade black water snake appeared out of thin air, it did not completely fail in the battle with the Hundred Medicine Valley, which has a Nascent Soul cultivator sitting in charge.

Under the stimulation of this situation, most of the subordinate forces of the Beast Taming Sect began to cultivate spirit beasts to a greater or lesser extent, and even some independent cultivators with a little wealth began to buy some spirit beasts for cultivation. Therefore, the sales of kumquat, a special spirit fruit, became increasingly widespread.

The golden-veined citrus is a variant of the kumquat, and its own grade ranges from the second-grade low-grade to the third-grade medium-grade, mainly depending on the supply of the spiritual plant that breeds the golden-veined citrus and the spiritual power.

The mother plant of the golden-veined citrus is also a first-grade upper-grade golden-veined citrus spiritual plant, and there is no obvious difference between it and the kumquat in the early stage of its growth.

Only at the moment of its final maturity, according to the quality of the golden-veined citrus itself, will it digest and forcibly extract all the energy and vitality accumulated by the mother plant and even several other spiritual plants in the surrounding area during their growth.

This means that when the golden-veined citrus matures, it is also the time when the kumquat spiritual plant withers. The only difference is the number of spiritual plants withering.

The golden-veined citrus is so overbearing that its effect also acts on spirit beasts, and it has the effect of helping spirit beasts to advance to the second level.

For example, a second-grade inferior golden-veined citrus can help a first-grade superior spirit beast to advance to the second level, which is comparable to the foundation-building pills needed by cultivators to build their foundations. The third-grade inferior can help spirit beasts to advance to the third level.

For the Beast Taming Sect, the preciousness of the golden-veined citrus is unquestionable, and a high-quality treasure pill can be easily exchanged from it.

Even the Beast Taming Sect specializes in cultivating large areas of golden citrus spiritual plant forests, and the only demand is to increase the probability and number of golden-veined citrus.

Unfortunately, this kind of spiritual fruit with a very special effect has always appeared randomly, without any rules, and the Beast Taming Sect has not had any obvious benefits.

However, for ordinary families or small sects, the appearance of golden-veined citrus is obviously not a blessing, which means the withering of the hard-cultivated spiritual plant.

The cultivation time of a first-grade superior spiritual plant takes at least ten to twenty years, and a large number of spiritual objects need to be invested in the middle.

The price of golden citrus itself is not high in the market, but it is also a stable income for a family. Once the spiritual plant forest disappears suddenly, it will affect the development of a family.

In addition, golden citrus is also a mutant spiritual fruit. Only through spiritual consciousness can the abnormality be discovered. For most low-level cultivators, it is impossible to effectively distinguish.

"Shopkeeper, how much is this golden citrus?"

Without delaying for too long, after scanning back and forth with spiritual consciousness and confirming that the golden citrus is a third-level lower grade, Sun Mingzeng immediately asked.

In order to prevent accidents, the target of his purchase is all golden citrus, not the wrinkled golden citrus on the surface.

"All golden citrus are sold in packages for 4,600 spiritual stones. What do you think, sir?"

A cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building with an octagonal beard and a cunning light in his eyes flashed a greedy light while responding.

"Shopkeeper, the price of this golden citrus is well known. If it is not urgently needed by the family, I will not buy it from you. I will buy it all for 4,000 spirit stones."

It would be abnormal if Sun Mingzeng agreed to it immediately after asking for a high price. He would not be a sucker.

"At present, more than 90% of the golden citrus on the market are bought by the Sun family. Scarcity makes things expensive. However, since you are sincere in buying it, 4,400 spirit stones."

The shopkeeper is so smart. After thinking for a while, he also made some concessions.

A quarter of an hour later, after a round of bargaining, Sun Mingzeng finally bought all the golden tangerines at the price of 4,150 spiritual stones.

These golden tangerines have no other use for Sun Mingzeng, but the family's spiritual beast valley needs these spiritual fruits almost all year round, so it is not a waste.

"It is easy to find it after searching everywhere. With the third-level low-grade golden tangerines as an aid, the difficulty of cultivating the family's first third-level low-grade guardian spiritual beast will be reduced linearly."

For the Sun family, the third-level guardian spiritual beast is not just as simple as adding a combat power.

If the family has a third-level spiritual beast as a guard, Sun Mingzeng, Sun Mingsheng, and Sun Caiwu, three Jindan period cultivators, can go out to travel.

Even if the family encounters some accidents, relying on the dual power of the Twelve Capital Peaks Formation and the guardian spiritual beast, it can also gain enough buffer time to wait for the rescue of the family's Jindan cultivators. Its significance is not overstated in any way.

Originally, with the foundation of the Sun family, even with some assistance from the Beast Taming Sect, it would be difficult to successfully cultivate a third-level guardian spirit beast.

Whether it is the Tiger-Striped Nine-Sky Python or the Multi-Eyed Silver Centipede, they have the potential to be promoted to the third level, but there is also the possibility and probability of failure.

The Tiger-Striped Nine-Sky Python was brought by Sun Mingsheng from the Western Desert. It has great potential, but it is extremely demanding on the living environment. Any slight mistake may lead to its failure to be promoted.

The Multi-Eyed Silver Centipede was purchased by the family from the Beast Taming Sect at a high price. There are quite a few of them, and they have all been promoted to the second-level middle and lower grades, but their potential is limited. The difficulty of being promoted to the third-level lower grade in the future is relatively low, and the success rate is also not high.
