Chapter 4: Acquisition of the Fire Scorpion

This morning at the small market by the east gate of Lingyue City, someone was deemed an incredibly foolish person, and that person was none other than Wei Suo

Selling a family heirloom cultivation technique manual, urgent purchase is advised

Have you seen the red bone below? Be careful to take it out completely, and do not break it.

"We are acquiring fresh scorpion corpses! We do not want any that are rotten or pickled!" Before the burly man could finish speaking, someone shouted loudly.

"Dream on. Speak up, how exactly are we going to do this? If you really manage to pull it off, I will let you have a drink. If you can't make it happen, then you can go drink from the cesspool."

As the sun set in the west, inside the small stone house, Wei Su felt a heart-wrenching pain as he gazed at the corpses of the six fire scorpions. "If you dare to deceive me, I will definitely throw you into the cesspit."

Rest assured, trust me, it is indeed correct. Could you first give me some blood from the fire scorpion? I haven't had fire scorpion blood for over 10,000 years, and I am feeling extremely weak. At this moment, the old man in the green robe looked at the six fire scorpions piled together, his eyes shining with golden light, desperately swallowing saliva.

Oh ... ...

Good and - picture - book, green-haired old man, what should we do next

What the heck, this smell is really unbearable, isn't it? Green-haired old man, you can't be doing this on purpose, can you?

However, he now dares not say much, for if he truly angers this blockhead, he might very well find a dung pit and throw him in, which would mean he could indeed become the first spirit to drown in a dung pit

Only the last two high-quality recovery pills remain, being offered at a low price for a clearance sale. Don't miss out as you pass by

"This is the right flavor; it can be used to make talisman paper. Once it is made into talisman paper, this flavor will naturally disappear." The old man in the green robe nodded with certainty.

Monkey, are you joking? Is there really someone who would acquire Fire Scorpion?

Take a look, the absolutely authentic Five Poisons Talisman of the Five Poisons Sect is available. It can be used at the first level of the Divine Sea Realm, offering convenience and speed. It is undoubtedly an essential talisman for home use, travel, and for silencing others!

The old man in the green robe rolled his eyes in exasperation; after all, he had served over fifty masters, yet he had never encountered a pig's head that took so long to pry open, even requiring half a day just to remove the shell of a fire scorpion.

As the old man in the green robe said, on the back of the fire scorpion, which had a hole in its head, there was indeed a distinct black line on the largest red shell.

Wei Suo continued to work for a while, extracting juice from both the silver candle grass and the fire tail flower. Following the instructions of the old man in the green robe, he carefully measured the quantities using a bottle and mixed the two types of grass juice together in a ratio of 7 to 3.

In an open area outside the east gate of Lingyue City, a large crowd of people is loudly hawking their goods.

Seeing the grass juice overflowing from the hollow in the mold where Weiso had fallen, he couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. However, upon realizing that these two types of spiritual herbs were growing everywhere, he was left speechless once again

The ordinary blood of a fire scorpion is useless; it is the marrow blood from this bone that is valuable. Hurry, put it into the gourd; once it is used up, there will be no way to obtain it.

Green-haired old man, are you really sure you are not deceiving me

Isn't blood needed? What use is this bone

Wei Su took out a black square talisman mold, which was divided into two halves, with a sense of skepticism. This mold was something he had accidentally picked up once; being an ordinary item, he had no use for it as he did not practice talisman crafting, so it had been left under his bed all this time. Now, he never expected it could still be of use.

This low-grade spirit stone may not mean much to others, but for Wei Suo, who is so poor that he has even considered selling his underwear, this is a significant amount of money. After spending this low-grade spirit stone, only one last low-grade spirit stone remains in Wei Suo's pocket

Wow, is it that tough

"No way?" The burly man was momentarily dumbfounded, "There really are such fools, huh?"

Wei Su first took a kitchen knife, then after a while, he picked up a black knife resembling a pig slaughtering knife. After toiling for quite some time, he finally fashioned a small chisel. After hammering away for a while, he finally pried open the piece of red shell along the black line.

The two types of herbal juices were originally silver and crimson in color, both having little to no significant odor. However, after being simmered over the stove for the duration of an incense stick, as the liquid reached a complete boil, bubbling continuously, the juices transformed into a thick, vermilion liquid, emitting a pungent odor reminiscent of spicy, rotten fish.

"This isn't even the most foolish thing. It is said that recently someone has tested a talisman that can use green stone fish bones to refine water arrow talismans. Although it is rumored that the power of that water arrow talisman is extremely weak, not even qualifying as a first-tier talisman, at most it can be considered a half-tier talisman, it still has some utility. " A thin man with shifty eyes said, "The most foolish thing is that I saw someone buying fire scorpions last time."

Wei Su moved a fire scorpion onto the stone table. Although this fire scorpion appeared small, it was still heavy as a rock. On the way back earlier, Wei Su had been preoccupied with his concern for the crystal stone and had not taken a close look at what the fire scorpion actually looked like.

... ... ''

The old man in the green robe truly had no way to deal with this fellow, and could only say helplessly, "Alright, you first bring over a fire scorpion, and cut along the black line on its back, being careful not to cut too deep"

Today, Weiso spent one low-grade spirit stone to purchase six fire scorpions

As a result, the fire scorpion is generally unwanted, and when someone does want it, it may not necessarily be available on the market at that time, leading to a surprisingly high price.

Just like the establishment in the city called Liu Xia Xiang, there are indeed quite a few attractive women inside. However, there are truly no women who are three feet tall and have a waist circumference of three feet. If you really have a peculiar taste and want to find such a woman, they can specially arrange one for you, though the price is unlikely to be lower than that of a top-tier service.

"The blue stone fishbone is utterly useless, yet there are fools who actually buy it." A burly man with a hatchet and two thick eyebrows said disdainfully

Acquiring blue stone fish bones, acquiring blue and * picture * book stone fish bones, one hand delivers bones, the other hand delivers crystal stones

... ...

Upon closer inspection, it becomes evident that this fire scorpion, aside from being significantly larger than the average scorpion, possesses numerous other differences. Its entire exoskeleton is a vivid red, resembling the shell of a boiled lobster. The scorpion's tail is approximately the same length as its body, resembling a small steel whip, with the tip resembling a red steel needle, emanating faint wisps of heat.

The people in the small market consider Wei Su to be an incredibly foolish person, and there is a reason for this. The Fire Scorpion is merely a low-level first-tier demon beast; apart from its scorpion tail, which can be used for alchemy, it has little other value. Moreover, the Fire Scorpions appear sporadically, making it quite troublesome to hunt a sufficient number of them. Therefore, very few people would specifically seek out Fire Scorpions to kill and sell; at most, they might kill a Fire Scorpion if they happen to encounter one while looking for other demon beasts or materials.
