From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal

The Copper-armored Crab was as big as a millstone, looking like a shiny brass statue with its sharp claws brandishing menacingly, giving a sense of sharpness.

The enormous crab shell was not a single piece, but composed of numerous shuttle-shaped structures, resembling the form of Lock Armor.

Certainly, when this demon beast was alive, it must have been powerful and dominant.

Unfortunately, it is now dead, reduced to meat on the chopping board for cultivators to observe.

"Wow, this shop serves up a whole nest of crabs, look at the quantity!"

Li Quange glanced into the store, where more than a dozen Copper-armored Crab corpses were laid out, eerie and terrifying.

Li Quanqing felt a bit regretful and asked the owner if there were any younglings of the spirit crab for sale, but received a negative answer.

This destroyed tribe indeed had pregnant mother crabs, but they escaped. Some crab younglings were killed in the battle, gaining nothing.

Li Quanqing sighed, and touched the bodies of several Copper-armored Crabs, feeling akin to facing the big naïve crabs at home.

Suddenly, a piece of familiar text leaped out in front of his eyes.

[Stubborn Bone with Copper Head]Copper-armored Crab: "Swallow! Swallow!! Swallow!!! I must live on!!!"

[Maturity: 7%]

Li Quanqing's pupils slightly contracted, then he pretended to be nonchalant and touched every Copper-armored Crab one by one.

Only two corpses showed a prompt for demon beast younglings.

"Did they take advantage of the chaos on the battlefield to swallow their own younglings to protect them?"

"Or to avoid having them fall into the hands of human cultivators and being enslaved, performing the crab poison eating its young..."

The young man didn't want to delve into it and looked at the owner, "How are the Copper-armored Crabs sold?"

"This is a good item, the crab shell is naturally suitable for refining Shield Armor Magical Artifacts, and the crab meat is even fresher and tenderer, just steaming it makes your tongue melt..."

The owner rambled on, boasting, "Due to our graciousness, fifty spirit stones each."

That price was expensive, way too expensive.

Li Quanqing was about to negotiate the price when Li Quanfu took the initiative and stepped forward, "Owner, let me handle this!"

"Owner, you really are not generous! How many days have these dead crabs been sitting unsold, and they stink!"

The young man seized the initiative with a loud voice, well-versed in the art of haggling.

"It shouldn't be, they are always preserved with Cold Ice Talismans!"

The owner's face was doubtful, sniffing around, he indeed smelled a faint fishy odor.

"Also, I see other shops have their demon beast meat all sliced up, why are you selling whole ones?"

Li Quanfu folded his arms, "Is it that the crab shell is too hard, and you can't pry it open, and you're just scamming customers?"

The owner's face turned slightly embarrassed.

Indeed, he was hit where it hurt.

The Copper-armored Crab's entire shell was fused into one, its hardness matching that of a Mid Grade Magical Artifact after reaching adulthood, with astonishing defense.

The Demon Hunters killed by using various vibrations in their spells or through burning and freezing.

Killing the Copper-armored Crab internally, leaving the shell intact.

This also led to situations where, after buying a Copper-armored Crab home, one would expend energy to dismember the shell, only to get a pile of broken meat.

After some haggling, Li Quanqing managed to purchase two Copper-armored Crabs for 69 spirit stones!

Due to its large size, the Copper-armored Crab couldn't fit into a small Storage Bag, so the staff had to carry it to the customer's home.

Seeing this, Li Quanqing breathed a sigh of relief.

A Storage Bag couldn't store living things; unintentionally, this allowed the little crab younglings to survive.

Li Quanfu volunteered and followed the staff back to the store to ensure no mishaps.

Li Quanqing and Li Quange found the place successfully and continued to participate in the trading meet.

Autumn Spring Pool.

The babbling autumn water rippled across, with a peach forest glowing fiery red on the shore, from time to time, spiritual deer and monkeys could be seen.

Several buildings were situated by the lake, pavilions and towers orderly arranged, all exquisitely beautiful, having an ancient charm.

No one would have imagined that at the end of the brutal and bloody Demon Beast Street, there would be such a high-class Cave Mansion.

After Li Quange presented their credentials, the two were respectfully ushered into the Guest Hall.

A blue-purple serpent head hung at the front of the great hall, looking ferocious with a single horn on its forehead, and from time to time, lightning danced between its scales, exuding a fierce majesty.

"Thunder Horn Python!"

Li Quanqing recognized this type of demon beast.

An adult Thunder Horn Python, its strength is comparable to a Qi Refining Seventh Layer cultivator.

Most importantly, they are gregarious demon beasts, extremely difficult to hunt, and few loose cultivators dare to target them.

"This is a trophy my master obtained during a hunt with the Yun Family!"

The maid beside him softly introduced, her face carrying a hint of concealed pride and arrogance.

Li Quanqing's mind conjured the image of the owner of this cave mansion, who was also the organizer of this small trade meeting.

Loose Cultivator Yun Jiezi, with a cultivation of Qi Refining Sixth Level.

Years ago, by a stroke of fate, he was valued by an elder of the Yun Family and became a contributor to this Foundation Establishment family.

The Yun Family of Carefree Island, making their family business by selling Spirit Boats, boasts three Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Ranked second among the five major families.

A flood of information surfaced in his mind, an instinct of being a family disciple.

"Honorable guest, the trade meeting has already started, please follow me."

The maid came from the back hall, her tone quite apologetic.

Due to the Copper-armored Crab, Li Quanqing was already late and naturally wouldn't be upset.

Led by the maid, the two had just entered the trade meeting when they saw a cultivator standing in the center of the hall and shouting loudly.

"Eight Azure Water Snake Eggs, in exchange for a Mid Grade Magical Artifact, High Grade cultivation lifesaving Elixir or an equivalent amount of Spirit Stones."

Azure Water Python!

Li Quanqing's eyes brightened.

This type of demon beast, like the Copper-armored Crab, possesses the strength of the Qi Refining Mid Stage upon maturity.

Furthermore, with their beautiful and mild nature, their blue scales like transparent crystals, they are highly sought after by many female cultivators.

"Thirty Spirit Stones!"

"I offer thirty-five Spirit Stones, plus a Treasure Spirit Pearl!"

Bidding continued one after another, with the loudest voice being a young girl in red, her skin snow-white and her features delicate, but her boisterous laughter stunned several male cultivators.

The girl was Xie Hongyu, a member of the Xie family from Baoshu Island, who had once sold Bright Moon Shells to him.

"One Mid Grade Mystic Turtle Shield, plus one Low Grade Green Carp Sword."

Li Quanqing announced his price.

The Mystic Turtle Shield was a trophy from a previous kill, which he had long intended to exchange; the Green Carp Swords were crafted during this period, totaling seven or eight.

Upon his words, the whole venue fell silent for a moment, then plunged into even louder chaos.

"Green Carp Sword, disciples from the Green Jade Li Family are here!"

"So young, yet already with a Qi Refining Fifth Level cultivation, probably only Yun Jiezi could surpass him here!"

"Low Grade Green Carp Sword, it appears he's an Artifact Refiner, no wonder he's so wealthy!"

Li Quanqing's arrival instantly became the focus of the entire venue.

Among this group of collateral disciples and demon hunters, their cultivations were not high, apart from the Sixth Layer Yun Jiezi, there were also two other Qi Refining Fifth Level experts.

The rest were all Qi Refining Fourth Level, Qi Refining Third Level small fry, and there was even a Qi Refining Second Level who came to join in the fun.

In terms of cultivation and status, Li Quanqing was second to none here.

"Turns out it's Cousin Quanqing, let these snake eggs be a present for my cousin, as a congratulation gift for becoming an Artifact Refiner!"

Xie Hongyu giggled, the Li and Xie families had always had good relations, usually addressing each other as cousins: "Come over here, cousin, let me treat you to a drink~"

"Thank you for your kind offer, Sister Hongyu."

Li Quanqing first went to trade for the snake eggs, then sat down next to her.

The eggs of the Azure Water Python were slightly larger than cobblestones, feeling like blue jade to the touch, cool and hard, continuously attracting Water Spiritual Energy from all directions.

Gazing through the eggshell, one could faintly see a curled up slender shadow.

At this point, Yun Jiezi also stood up, holding his wine cup; he was about thirty years old, with eyes wide as copper bells, and the lush beard under his jaw exploding out like a mane.

"I have yet to ask, which young talent from the Li Family is this?"
