Chapter 258: longjing city and stewed egg with lightning scorpion

Translator: 549690339 

bai wushang was heading toward longjing city-a medium-sized city located three to four hundred kilometers away from star iron town.

the city had a population of 300000. in terms of size, it was only second to the ten large cities of the great qian dynasty.

bai wushang had been staying in star iron town for the past few days, and he was not idle.

while cultivating his soul power, he also cultivated the secret technique, bee’s eye.

at the same time, he was also gathering information to further confirm his action plan and process.

in the end, he chose longjing city.

it was the largest city near star iron town.

no matter how far it was, bai wushang didn’t think it was worth it to waste time and effort.

he had three things to do here.

first, sell all the remaining goblin materials in exchange for gold coins.

second, he needed to replenish his supplies. for example, he needed to prepare the commonly used talismans and other consumables in case of an accident.

third, on this basis, he could buy a live mid-stage mature lightning scorpion.

this last matter was the core goal of this trip.

it was also something that bai wushang had to complete before the thorn competition.

at this stage, xiao ci had just completed her evolution, not even ten days.

according to the normal growth rate of a pet, it would take at least two to three months to four to five months to advance.

this time was neither long nor short.

but bai wushang couldn’t wait. within the scope of his ability, he didn’t intend to do things step by step.

he still had a trump card.

a few months ago, before the exploration of the abandoned ruins.

bai wushang had once obtained gourmet cells through the colosseum and got two recipes.

the first was to help mature spirit-type creatures heal their soul injuries.

secondly, it could assist lightning attribute matured bodies to evolve once.

these two recipes had been idle for a long time.

after ci’s abnormal evolution, bai wushang immediately recalled that he had a special formula to use!

in the end, the essence of the lottery was to win by quantity.

just because it was temporarily left aside and had no value, it did not mean that it would never be of use.

however, bai wushang considered it for a long time.

this extraordinary recipe called ” lightning scorpion stewed egg ” had extraordinary significance to xiao ci.

the best way to use it was to wait until the late-stage of the mature stage to consume it and use it to break through to the peak of the mature stage.

by doing so, he could maximize the effectiveness of his diet and shorten his cultivation time by at least half a year.

but time waits for no one.

bai wushang repeatedly weighed the pros and cons, and felt that he didn’t have the qualifications to develop steadily.

the situation he was facing now was forcing him to work hard to improve his strength, the faster the better.

in the following bramble competition, there was only a mid-stage mature three-eyed demon ape and an early-stage mature lightning blade mantis.

bai wushang was still not confident enough.

not to mention zhu qin, even situ chi’s progress was not weaker than his.

recipes were useful, and opportunities were good.

however, he had a royal family behind him.

he didn’t need to take any risks, and the resources he had and the speed of his growth would be much faster.

it was safe to play it safe, and at the same time, he held the mentality that there would be new opportunities in the future, so there was no need to pursue perfection.

bai wushang made up his mind. in these two weeks of training, he had to finish this recipe and help xiao ci advance to the middle stage.

“boom! boom! boom!”

purple lightning rumbled and tore through the sky, aiming in one direction and moving forward.

as fast as lightning, bai wushang could still feel the strong wind blowing in his face even though he was wearing the thunder-controlling armor.

looking down from a hundred meters above, the moonlight seemed to cover the earth with a layer of gauze.

the hazy mountain range, the hazy vegetation, and the hazy land.

there were occasionally birds and beasts, but most of them had ordinary strength.

when they sensed the lightning blade mantis’s explosive sound, they had long since fled far away.

bai wushang couldn’t help but remind her,”xiao ci, hold back a little. you’re making too much noise.”

in the beginning, he had found it novel to ride a flying pet of the thunder attribute.

after slowly familiarizing himself with it, his attention quickly shifted and he completely returned to being alert.

not only did they have to pay attention to the birds and beasts in the sky, but they also had to pay attention to the abnormal situation on the ground.

after all, they were in the wilderness, deep in the mountains.

who could guarantee what they would encounter, and who could guarantee absolute safety?

this was bai wushang’s first experience alone, so he had to be cautious.

as for xiao ci, she was an explosive-type lightning-type monster and was not good at long-distance attacks.

therefore, it was crucial to conserve the power of lightning and physical strength.

he didn’t need to go all out, and his speed wasn’t bad either. it was definitely enough.

……

other than killing a few large birds, their journey was smooth.

bai wushang successfully approached longjing city. he recalled the lightning blade mantis a few kilometers away, took off his armor, and stepped into the city gate on foot.

in the great qian dynasty, any city with the word ‘dragon’ in it would have decent security.

it had all kinds of living facilities.

especially at night, the streets were filled with people and it was very lively.

bai wushang had spent a little tip in exchange for information from a few passerby masters, which had locked onto the largest trading market in longjing city.

upon arrival, he was the first to sell all the materials he had on him, earning a total profit of 42000 gold coins.

in addition to his previous savings, his personal wealth had accumulated to 51000.

“hello, do you have living lightning scorpions here?”

bai wushang first went to the official shop of the city to ask.

generally speaking, a store with such a background was more reliable. the goods they sold and the channels they controlled were more sufficient.

“lightning scorpion?” the sweet sales assistant was slightly stunned. ” we have the heart, limb, blood, and tail of the lightning scorpion, but if it’s a living scorpion … sorry. ”

bai wushang nodded slightly, not discouraged in the slightest.

a middle stage mature lightning scorpion’s living body was the main ingredient in the ‘lightning scorpion stewed egg’. naturally, it was his priority to purchase it.

however, the scene in front of him was within his expectations.

for a medium-sized city, the number of living extraordinary creatures they sold would not be too small.

however, most of them were definitely egg-type fetal spirit bodies, followed by baby ones.

unless it was a very special and rare species, it would have to start from the mature stage.

otherwise, as a hunter, not only was it troublesome to capture a living body, but it was also a thankless effort.

in addition, as an exchange or shop, there was no need to discuss the purchase price, and extra costs had to be spent to raise it.

it wasn’t that easy to provide food and accommodation, and also to treat injuries and illnesses in time.

logically speaking, one would have to rely on luck to purchase a specific mature lifeform.

after all, there were hundreds of millions of species in the transcendent world!

moreover, the lightning scorpion race had its own unique characteristics.

it was not a common supernatural creature.

one reason was that the lightning attribute was rare to begin with.

the other reason was that these creatures were good at digging holes and liked to live in dark underground.

this was especially true for places like karst caves, mines, and deep pits.

therefore, bai wushang had to be mentally prepared.

he even considered that if he couldn’t buy it, the worst result was nothing more than using the item seeking compass to capture it himself.

with confidence, he was naturally frank and calm.

from midnight to early morning, bai wushang went to every market in longjing city.

while purchasing, he was also looking for live lightning scorpions.

he had bought all the supplementary ingredients, including a fresh ‘lightning sparrow egg’.

only the lightning scorpion was nowhere to be seen.

when the sun rose, bai wushang completely gave up.

instead, he changed his strategy and began to purchase the guide to capture the thunder scorpion.

after that, he strolled around the mercenary mission hall and the hunter chamber of commerce, looking for useful information and looking for a suitable hunting spot.
