Chapter 10, Inferior Spirit Stones of Activity

The fire scorpion had not yet grasped the situation when it saw a person rushing towards it with immense excitement. "Sizzle!" Still in a daze, the two azure water blades emitted by Weisuo had already accurately struck its head, severing half of it. The first fire scorpion to appear did not even let out a sound before it twitched on the ground and fell motionless.

Outside the north gate of Lingyue City, Wei Su carried a large bundle of grass with patterns resembling tiger skin and a big bag of mushrooms covered in yellow fuzz, humming to himself as he ran vigorously towards the direction of Daqingshan.

Green-haired old man, whether we can prosper depends entirely on you

Although it was unavoidable to consume a fireball talisman at the old fox's place, Wei Suo at least managed to gather information from him about the vicinity of the large copper mine in the Daqingshan area, approximately three hundred miles north of Lingyue City, where it is said that there are quite a number of fire scorpions

"Four first-level fireball talismans?" The old fox was momentarily taken aback, but quickly nodded, "Four first-level fireball talismans are also worth two low-grade spirit stones, so of course, that is acceptable"

Recently, someone has been acquiring fire scorpions. I want to catch some fire scorpions to sell, and of course, I need to prepare a fire-clearing pill for self-defense. Otherwise, if I accidentally get stung by a fire scorpion and suffer from fire poison, it would be disastrous. Wei Suo casually found a reason on https://m.hetushu.com.

The tiger-striped grass and yellow-haired mushrooms that Wei Su is currently carrying are indeed the materials mentioned by the old man in the green robe that can be used to attract fire scorpions. However, although these two items are not as abundant as silver candle grass and fire tail flowers, they are also of no use to other cultivators. Therefore, Wei Su, who is now burdened with a pile of tiger-striped grass and yellow-haired mushrooms, appears exceedingly foolish.

... ...

The Tianyi Sect has already set up teleportation arrays in many locations outside Lingyue City. Many low-level cultivators who do not possess flying treasures directly use these teleportation arrays to reach their desired destinations. However, even for the shortest distance teleportation array, a fee of at least two to three low-grade spirit stones is required for each use. Therefore, individuals like Wei Suo, who are financially challenged, usually rely on their own two legs to get around.

Look quickly, look quickly, there is a guy leaving the city carrying a bunch of tiger-striped grass and yellow-haired mushrooms

"Looking at what you said, after all these years, how could I not believe you? It's just that I worry you might be deceived and suffer losses, which is why I wanted to clarify things." Even as he said this, the old fox did not pause in his actions; he immediately turned around and led the way ahead, directly bringing Wei Suo to the entrance of a stone house behind the shop.

The copper mine originally produced a wealth of copper ore; however, all the copper ore had been completely mined out sixty years ago. The entire mine extends to a depth of twenty to thirty miles, resembling a canyon. Moreover, the remnants of the mined-out rubble are scattered everywhere within the copper mine, along with many deep shafts. Due to the lack of resources in this area, there is no one else around the copper mine except for Wei Suo.

Haha, look at his hair, it looks as if it has been scorched by fire

Wow, it really is useful

There really are fools buying this Fire Scorpion. However, with a Clear Fire Pill that can neutralize fire poison, there shouldn't be any problems. The old fox chuckled, extending a finger, "Since we are all acquaintances, and you know the market, one low-grade spirit stone."

After checking that there were no issues with his belongings, Wei Su selected a relatively open area, gathered a pile of dry firewood, ignited it with a flint, and then evenly spread the tiger-striped grass and yellow mushrooms he had brought with him on top.

You don't understand anything at all. It looks like it has been burned by fire, because it has been burned. When I become successful, let's see if you will still be laughing then

A somewhat pungent yellow-green smoke began to rise, and in less than half the time it takes to burn an incense stick, a dark red fire scorpion suddenly darted out from the grass in the downwind area ahead

A bottle of Qi Recovery Powder and a Wind Escape Talisman are worth one low-grade spirit stone. Including the Clear Fire Pill, the total amounts to two low-grade spirit stones

Grandma! The fireball formed after the activation of the fireball talisman, if not launched in time, will eventually explode in one's own hand as the true essence can no longer contain it. However, it seems that the area impacted by the true essence can control the trajectory of the fireball in the air. Wei Suo was still savoring these sensations when a tongue of flame suddenly rolled out from the room, nearly burning him again

A faint purple aura emanated from Wei Suo's hand, enveloping the crimson talisman that emitted strands of red light. "Hiss!" The fireball talisman quickly ignited, and a fireball rapidly grew larger in Wei Suo's hand. The heat radiating from the fireball instantly made Wei Suo's palm feel scorched, yet at the same time, a strange sensation surged in his heart.

"Blast this broken house to pieces." After cursing inwardly, Wei Su, standing at the door, focused his attention on the fireball talisman in his right hand

Wei Su glanced at the old fox and asked, "How much for a bottle of Qi Recovery Powder and an additional Wind Escape Talisman?"

"Fine, I know you won't even try to make this deal with m.hetushu.com." Wei Su glanced at the old fox and snatched a fireball talisman from his hand.

Wei Su took out four fireball talismans he had crafted from his pocket and handed them to the old fox

... ...

Weiso gently waved his right hand towards a wall inside the stone house, and with a whoosh, the fireball shot out rapidly. Not far in front of Weiso, it quickly expanded to the size of a dustpan, with wisps of flames dispersing from it

Over time, Wei Suo, who still did not know any escape techniques, ran extremely fast, like a puff of smoke. By the time it was close to noon, Wei Suo finally arrived at his destination, the purple copper mine.

Including the belongings he originally had, Wei Su is currently carrying a total of two bottles of recovery powder, one Clear Fire Pill, one first-level Wind Escape Talisman, two first-level Fireball Talismans, one low-grade Spirit Stone, and one useable Earth Shield Talisman.

The old fox carefully examined the four crimson talismans in his hand, which emitted a faint warmth. "Weisuo, where did you obtain these first-level fireball talismans? The runes are quite unique."

The entire stone house was almost instantly filled with radiant flames, and on the stone wall that was struck, debris flew about, revealing a black concave pit.

A fire scorpion's blood is roughly enough to refine four fire talismans. Based on the success rate of 50% according to m.hetushu.com, this translates to two fireball talismans. The market price for two fireball talismans is equivalent to one low-grade spirit stone. Therefore, in Wei Suo's eyes, this fire scorpion is akin to a moving low-grade spirit stone. When he saw the fire scorpion running, it was as if he were witnessing a low-grade spirit stone in motion. As soon as the fire scorpion darted out, Wei Suo almost immediately jumped down from the nearby rock with his eyes gleaming with excitement, charging towards the fire scorpion.

The last time Wei Suo cast this fireball talisman, he was so excited about successfully refining it for the first time that he didn't even realize how he had released it. However, this time Wei Suo felt that the fireball formed by the talisman seemed to be enveloped by a thin layer of his true essence, with not a single wisp of flame escaping outward

The quality of this Fireball Charm is quite good. The old fox immediately smiled and stuffed three Fireball Charms into his sleeve upon seeing the flames it produced. Wei Suo, it's a deal. If I give you one more Fireball Charm, I will provide you with a bottle of Qi Recovery Powder, a Clear Fire Pill, and a Wind Escape Charm.

Is there Qinghuo Dan?" Wei Suo was not happy to waste words with this guy and asked directly

"Qinghuo Dan? Yes, we have it, but what do you need this elixir for?" The old fox, dressed in a dusty yellow robe, appeared somewhat surprised.

Boom

Wei Su nodded decisively, "Four first-level fireball talismans, how about that"
