73: 1200 spirit stones!

When Wei Zhou heard this, he couldn't help but be amazed!

To have hope of reaching the Nascent Soul Stage before 250 years old, his talent was considered quite good!

Some with poorer talent were trapped in the Foundation Establishment Stage their entire lives, unable to even glimpse the Golden Core Dao, let alone the Nascent Soul Dao!

250 years old was the time of death! But for those Cultivators who broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage, 250 years old was at most a trifle!

One must know that Cultivators in the Nascent Soul Stage generally had a lifespan of 3,000 to 5,000 years! Cultivating special Cultivation Techniques, some could even reach 7,000 to 9,000 years! It was even possible to reach a lifespan of 10,000 years!

The Monster Beast Pavilion, as its name suggested, was a commercial pavilion specializing in acquiring Yao Beasts! It also occasionally acquired some rare treasures and held one or two auctions.

Within the Monster Beast Pavilion, there was also a mission board, which recorded the demands of many clients. By completing the corresponding Yao Beast hunting missions, one could obtain Spirit Stones from the clients!

Wei Zhou stood still, muttering to himself in a low voice.

"I remember there seems to be a corpse of a first-grade top-tier Yao Beast in my Storage Pouch! I wonder how many Spirit Stones it can sell for?"

With that, Wei Zhou lifted his foot and walked towards the "Monster Beast Pavilion"!

Not long after, he arrived in front of the "Monster Beast Pavilion". Without much hesitation, he lifted his foot and stepped inside!

He walked straight to the counter and took out a first-grade top-tier Yao Beast corpse from his Storage Pouch!

He placed it on the counter!

The Cultivator at the counter was busy doing something with his head down when suddenly, a dark shadow enveloped him.

He looked up slightly, startled, as a ferocious Yao Beast head was staring right at him!

After sensing it, he realized the Yao Beast had no breath left. He patted his chest in surprise and let out a long sigh, saying,

"Phew—!"

"You startled me!"

Then, he looked at Wei Zhou behind the Yao Beast!

At this moment, Wei Zhou was staring at him with a smile on his face! Coupled with the Yao Beast corpse, it seemed a bit eerie!

The Cultivator at the counter was a female Cultivator wearing a goose-red long dress. After being startled, she looked at Wei Zhou with a somewhat resentful gaze and said,

"Fellow Daoist, how may I help you?"

Wei Zhou awkwardly scratched his head and replied concisely,

"Selling a Yao Beast!"

The female Cultivator behind the counter closed her eyes and swept her Divine Thought over the ferocious Yao Beast corpse in front of her!

She opened her eyes and said,

"1,200 Spirit Stones! No bargaining!"

Wei Zhou frowned slightly upon hearing this, feeling a bit incredulous!

A typical first-grade top-tier Yao Beast would fetch at least around 2,000 Spirit Stones!

Rare quality ones would be even 4,000 Spirit Stones! Some could even reach a high price of 5,000 Spirit Stones! They were almost comparable to ordinary second-grade low-tier Yao Beasts!

His first-grade top-tier Yao Beast was considered semi-rare! It should be worth at least 3,000 Spirit Stones! 1,200 Spirit Stones was simply too unreasonable!

The female Cultivator seemed to have seen Wei Zhou's confusion. She parted her red lips slightly and said,

"This first-grade top-tier Yao Beast, the Red Cloud Deer, is a relatively rare species! However, it has been dead for more than 7 days! In addition, this beast was killed with one blow!"

"And the injured area was in the head! You should know that the most precious part of this Red Cloud Deer is the essence blood within its head! Since its head was completely struck, the essence blood inside has long since dissipated!"

"Naturally, it's not worth too many Spirit Stones! These 1,200 Spirit Stones are the highest price our pavilion can offer! At this price, our pavilion can only earn a tiny bit of Spirit Stones! Anymore, and we would truly be at a loss!"

The female Cultivator spread her hands, indicating that this was the highest price they could offer!

Wei Zhou naturally didn't believe that the other party would only earn a little, but he still pondered slightly on the surface and said calmly,

"Alright! 1,200 Spirit Stones it is!"

When the female Cultivator heard Wei Zhou agree, her joy was evident! From this 1,200 Spirit Stone transaction, she could get a 20% cut, which was 200 Spirit Stones!

That was almost equivalent to her monthly salary!

Afterward, the female Cultivator put the Red Cloud Deer into her Storage Pouch and eagerly walked into the pavilion!

Not long after, the female Cultivator came out beaming, holding a tray with a Storage Pouch on it!

She took the Storage Pouch from the tray and looked at Wei Zhou with a smile, saying,

"Fellow Daoist, catch!"

With that, the female Cultivator tossed the Storage Pouch in her hand to Wei Zhou!

Wei Zhou caught it with one hand, opened the Storage Pouch, and probed it with his Divine Sense! After confirming that everything was in order, he put the Storage Pouch, along with the Spirit Stones inside, into his own Storage Pouch!

He cupped his hands in a salute to the female Cultivator and said,

"Many thanks!"

Then, without waiting for the female Cultivator's reaction, he turned and walked out of the pavilion!

Stepping out of the Monster Beast Pavilion, Wei Zhou felt his Storage Pouch bulge again and nodded with satisfaction. Then he began to wander around!

After wandering for not long, when passing by a commercial pavilion, Wei Zhou stopped and looked at the three large characters on the plaque!

"Wanbao Pavilion"!

He thought to himself,

"This Wanbao Pavilion is truly extraordinary! Its business has even reached this world!"

Immediately, Wei Zhou stepped forward and walked into the distance!

He had originally intended to go into the Wanbao Pavilion to purchase some Cultivation resources! However, he then thought that most of the Cultivation resources inside were expensive and not something a Loose Cultivator like him could afford!

Afterward, he continued to wander around!

This wandering lasted for two hours!

Within two hours, Wei Zhou purchased many Cultivation resources usable by Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators! These Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivation resources alone cost him about a thousand Spirit Stones!

He also found a jade box at a street stall, which also had a Restriction carved on its exterior! But it also cost him a hundred, almost two hundred Spirit Stones!

Now Wei Zhou only had a few hundred Spirit Stones left, a complete pauper!

Immediately, Wei Zhou did not linger there! He lifted his foot and walked into the crowd, following the flow of people towards the outside of the market!

Not long after, Wei Zhou had already followed the crowd outside the market. He looked up at the sky!

It was still a clear day, and it was noon!

He lightly patted his Storage Pouch, summoned his magic sword from within, and his figure flashed, appearing on the magic sword!

His entire being, along with the magic sword, transformed into a streak of light, disappearing directly into the distant horizon!

After flying for a distance, Wei Zhou keenly noticed that a powerful aura, no weaker than his own, was following him from behind!

Wei Zhou did not wish to cause more trouble. He cast a Qi Concealment Art and Escape the forest below, flying almost Sticky ground!

However, after flying for a distance, the aura behind him also disappeared!
