Chapter 35: The Azure-Eyed Unicorn

  "The talismans are selling quite well, aren't they?" Yuan Tian smiled brightly, the shelves were already empty, he saw it as soon as he entered, and now it was purely a polite remark.

  "It's all sold out, little friend. If you have more, I can take some." Mr. Dongguo stroked his goatee and replied calmly.

  This attitude is not like that of a business owner at all, people doing business don't care about money. Since it sells so well, they should be urged to take more and sell more.

  Mr. Dongguo was not in a hurry at all, as if to say that if you want to bring it out, I'll help you sell it, and if you don't want to bring it out, it doesn't matter.

  "Here, and I'm afraid it's a bit of trouble for you." Yuan Tian took out the remaining spirit symbols from his Qiankun bag and handed them over to Mr. Dongguo with enthusiasm, who never minded having more money.

  Put away the Ling stone handed over by Mr. Dongguo, and felt wonderful in his heart.

  Attending the auction, the amount of Ling stones spent will not be small. Relying solely on selling Ling symbols for this little money is probably not enough. Yuan Tian has an idea - since it's an auction, there must be a consignment sale, and he has something to consign.

  I bought an ordinary fireball technique jade slip, and learned it casually. Although its power is not great, the advantage lies in its ease of learning and control. In the future, whether it's roasting meat or warming up, it can be used.

  Out of the bookstore and straight to Qi Qiao Ge across the street, familiar with the road to the second floor, found a short and thin shop assistant.

  "Has there been any good talismans lately?" Yuan Tian had a good impression of this clever shop assistant, after all, the Flame Talisman that doubled its power was recommended by him.

  "How about trying intermediate spirit symbols?" Seeing that Yuan Tian had already cultivated his Qi to the sixth layer, Shou Shi Dong began recommending intermediate spirit symbols.

  "Let's talk about this later, my cultivation is not stable yet. Is there a special low-level spirit symbol?" Yu Tianyan politely declined his kindness. Practicing the sixth layer of Qi indeed allowed one to attempt making mid-level spirit symbols, but only at the lowest standard. To truly stably produce mid-level spirit symbols, one would need a cultivation close to the Gathering Spirit stage.

  There is a method of engraving and printing, so it's not necessary to approach the cultivation period to print out intermediate spirit symbols, but Yuan Tian is not in a hurry to study intermediate spirit symbols at present.

  "Take a look at this terrain seal, its effect is even stronger than the entwining seal." Qiu Shidong handed over a complex spirit seal to Yuan Tian, recommending it to him.

  Yuántiān took a look at the shelf and saw that there was only one left, so he followed the usual practice of taking two together. He also bought two large mid-grade talismans and some low-grade talismans.

  After buying the talisman paper, I went out for a stroll to see what gift to buy for Xuan Yuan's sister. As I strolled around, I came to the door of the store that bought meat-eating spirit beasts. Why not go in and greet the boss? There will be many places where cooperation is needed in the future, as the saying goes, "more courtesy, less trouble".

  As I entered the gate, I saw a middle-aged man with a bitter face standing there. Next to him was an emaciated and half-dead spirit beast.

  It's actually a blue-eyed unicorn, and the elder of the Yuantian Sect rode it over. I know this cow is an authentic spiritual beast, not something that can be compared to the black iron cow raised by Lao Tie. But isn't this shop supposed to collect carnivorous spiritual beasts? How did they bring in a mount-type spiritual beast like this one?

  "Boss, help us out. Just take the price of a dead cow and we'll call it quits. It's a pity for the cow to die in vain." This middle-aged man spoke in a gentle tone, negotiating with the store owner.

  The Azure-eyed Unicorn was originally supposed to be very strong and sturdy, making it a decent mount. The ordinary precious horse could travel 1,000 miles during the day and 800 miles at night, but this Azure-eyed Unicorn could travel 2,000 miles during the day and 3,000 miles at night. Those two azure-green eyes sparkled brightly in the dark of night, and the entire body of the cow was elevated to a higher state.

  But now this emaciated and struggling appearance makes it clear at a glance that it is a sick cow.

  "It's not that I don't want to help you, but the store can't accept sick cows." Even if it were sold by the pound as beef, the shop owner still wouldn't accept it.

  The middle-aged cultivator clenched his fist, although his cultivation was higher than the shop owner's, he still didn't dare to make a move. This was within the sphere of influence of the Tianyuan Sword Sect, and anyone who could open a shop here had some connections.

  Some of the shops are run by relatives of Tianyuan Sword Sect's management, and some are set up by medium to large-sized sects. None of them are something a lone cultivator can afford to provoke, unless he wants to lose his life.

  "How many spirit stones are you planning to sell this cow for?" Yuantian walked up, cupped his hands in a greeting to the middle-aged loose cultivator, and asked in a business-like tone.

  "Ah, sixty low-grade spirit stones will do." The person was taken aback for a moment, first stunned and then replied.

  "Little brother, this cow won't live for much longer, you'd better think it over, nobody wants to buy sick cow meat." The shop owner advised kindly, he had a good impression of Yuan Tian, especially after the two "divided spoils" last time.

  "I've bought it. Here are sixty low-grade spirit stones, take them." Yuan Tian said as he took out sixty low-grade spirit stones and handed them to the middle-aged loose cultivator.

  This somewhat bald middle-aged loose cultivator was so excited that he couldn't speak when he took the spiritual stone. This green-eyed single-horned cow had been with him for decades. Since it got this strange illness, it had become thinner and thinner. In order to cure its disease, this bald loose cultivator also spent a lot of effort.

  The blue-eyed unicorn originally had a very strong self-healing ability. Even if it was injured and its skin was torn, it could heal itself in a short period of time. Even if its bones were broken, it could grow back on its own after a period of rest.

  But this time, the strange illness has got the middle-aged cultivator stumped. He's had people take a look and even given the cow expensive medicinal pellets to eat, but there's been no improvement. If things keep going like this, it'll exhaust him too, which is why he's resorted to selling the cow.

  Unexpectedly, even if he sold himself as a cow, the shopkeeper wouldn't accept it. But this thin and tall little brother in front of him actually bought it at this time. He was so moved that his eyes were moist. A monk also needs to make a living, can't just be full by drinking wind. That Bu Gu Dan is not cheap either.

  Yuán Tiān wondered why he had to buy this sick cow, because he discovered that the symptoms of this cow were very similar to those with a gallstone. The gallstone in the body of a spiritual beast is worth a lot of money.

  So he spent the money to buy this emaciated, bony, blue-eyed unicorn bull, just to help this middle-aged loose cultivator with a favor, and also to take a gamble.

  Of course, Yuan Tian wouldn't be so great as to directly give him sixty spirit stones or directly tell him that this cow might have a treasure in its body. He himself wasn't 100% sure that this cow was the Longhorned Cow either. If he lost this bet, then he would just have to go and earn more spirit stones again.

  The middle-aged man who had obtained the spiritual stone hastily handed over the cow and left in a hurry, seemingly having an urgent need for money.

  Yuán tiān qiān zhe bì yǎn dú jiǎo niú, màn yōu yōu de wǎng wài zǒu. Zǒu dào mén kǒu shí huí guò tóu, yíng zhe diàn zhǔ nà bù jiě de yǎn guāng, gěi le tā yī gè càn làn de xiào róng.

  "This kid must be crazy!" The shop owner patted his forehead, even more bewildered. Last time he cooperated with young people, it was pretty good, thinking he was a clever person, what's going on now? More than 2,000 catties of blue-eyed unicorn cattle have become thin to 600 catties, and are about to die soon.

  The cow was driven onto the small paper boat, which carried it flying back and forth. This wasn't to drive it back to the master's gate, but rather to go somewhere else. It was that mountain cave where they had taken shelter from the rain last time, and also made a lot of flame talismans.

  Luckily the cow had lost a lot of weight and now only weighed 600 catties, otherwise it would have been impossible to lift it. Even so, the added weight of the cow made the small paper boat creak and groan.

  The cow's owner had already handed over the contract to Yuan Tian, and at this moment, the blue-eyed unicorn cow was very obedient. It lay motionless in the paper boat, allowing Yuan Tian to take it flying, unaware of what fate awaited it.
