Immortality: Raise an ant queen and add some immortality

When the price of gold was low, one tael of gold was equal to eight taels of silver. Under normal circumstances, one tael of gold is equal to ten taels of silver.

This gold bracelet is very heavy, and it will definitely be no problem to break off ten taels of silver.

Although she is a rich girl, her monthly pocket money should only be about five cents.

After all, the Wang family is just a small wealthy family. They have no worries about food and clothing, but their annual income is very limited. After taking into account the family expenses, they don't have much money to spend on their daughter.

This means that Rich Wang only has one daughter and no sons.

Otherwise, Ms. Wang's money will be even tighter.

The idea of ​​favoring sons over daughters has long been ingrained. Daughters are the ones who will marry sooner or later, and their parents will definitely be careful about the money they spend on them.

Ten taels of silver is already a huge amount of money for Miss Wang.

If she hadn't been forced into a hurry, she wouldn't have pawned the gold bracelet.

Judging from the quality and style, it was probably a relic left to her by her mother.

It has a very important commemorative significance to her.

"Please buy three Body Tempering Pills for me. If there is any leftover, it will be considered as your hard work. Thank you."

Is she practicing secretly?

If ordinary mortals want to improve their cultivation, the improvement brought by supplementing blood food is very limited.

The best way is to practice exercises and take elixirs to quickly complete early body strengthening.

Qin Niu is one of the lucky ones.

I bought a fragment of a health-preserving technique, and I have a very good talent for cultivation in this area. I accidentally comprehended a trace of the cultivation method in it. Finally, I was able to improve my cultivation greatly every day.

If she saves up her pocket money, she will definitely be able to buy a copy of a crappy practice book.

It's just that those bad street skills are often crude, the cultivation efficiency is low, and the improvement of cultivation is slow. And it relies heavily on the assistance of some advanced cultivation resources.

Such as elixirs.

Compared with ordinary blood food and nourishing medicinal materials, elixirs are carefully developed by elixir masters and formulated with various natural materials, earthly treasures and tonics.

They are easily absorbed by the body and can help users quickly improve their cultivation.

Body Tempering Pill is the most common pill taken by low-level cultivators.

It can help the user complete the initial tempering of the body. If combined with the practice of exercises and food supplements, it can definitely make the user's cultivation improve rapidly.

The market price is not cheap, it costs three taels of silver each.

She bought three at a time, and the ones she wanted to hit were definitely not the first and second levels of mortals, but at least the fifth and higher levels of mortals.

Seeing how cute she is on weekdays, I didn't expect that she would embark on the path of cultivation.

No wonder she is as light as a swallow.

Miss Wang is a very thoughtful girl, completely different from those girls who just want to marry a rich man and be a man's vassal.

She was so eager to buy the Body Tempering Pill and practice it because she refused to go to Yichun Garden in Black Tiger City to have a blind date with Mr. Lu in order not to be manipulated by her father.

Qin Niu put the gold bracelet close to his body.

Then put the insects into cages by category.

Including the cultivated Hulk bumblebee, the queen bee with some special abilities, two golden cicadas, and termites.

He also took the skin of the wild boar with him.

There are two main tasks for entering the city this time, applying for the status of a bug master and selling a few bugs.

It is a good idea to understand the market conditions of the insect market, so that you can be more targeted in catching special insects for sale in the future.

Now I basically just search all over the mountains and catch bugs with special abilities when I see them.

You can make some money by doing this, but making big money requires luck.

If you can hunt down some bugs with high market value in a targeted manner, you can make more money.

Some bugs can only be sold for ten or twenty cents, while some can be sold for several taels of silver.

The latter is definitely better.

After packing his things and locking the door, he rushed to Black Tiger City with the basket on his back.

He left the calf at home.

He stepped away and walked on the official road. He could see traces of the flood everywhere. Many farmlands were washed away, with crops lying on the ground or even buried directly in the sand.

The world is in catastrophe and devastation is everywhere.

Food prices within the jurisdiction of Black Tiger City will definitely rise this year.

What was destroyed by the flood was this year's summer grain.

After many people celebrate the New Year, their homes are already in a state of poverty.

I originally hoped that after the summer grain harvest, I would be able to provide relief.

Now that we have been hit by floods, crops have been destroyed to pieces. It is estimated that many families have to borrow money to survive.

Qin Niu could predict that there would soon be a boom in the purchase of slaves and maids by wealthy families.

During the famine, a child was sold for only three to five taels of silver.

You can buy one for as little as two taels of silver.

Boys who are fourteen or fifteen years old are generally not sold, and they can find a job to support themselves.

Girls are more likely to be married off or sold.

There is no food in the family and it is difficult to survive. At this time, you can get a sum of money by selling or marrying your daughter. Just the thing to tide your family over.

It can also be seen from this that in the eyes of many people, daughters are ‘property’ that can be liquidated at any time.

Some sections of the official road were flooded, and there was still a thick layer of silt that had not dried.

When Qin Niu moved forward, he could only walk around.

"It would be great if I had a mount!"

His mind couldn't help but think of Mr. Liu's black horse.

The thought was fleeting.

The price of a thousand taels of silver is simply beyond his reach now. Even if he really had a thousand taels of silver, he would not use it to buy a horse. Instead, he would buy training supplies and rebuild his house.

I will definitely marry a wife in the future.

They lived in two shabby mud houses, and the girls were scared away before they even entered.

…

After two and a half hours of trekking, Qin Niu finally arrived at Black Tiger City.

After his cultivation level was upgraded to the third level of mortal, his walking speed was significantly faster than before, and his endurance also became better.

It used to take nearly four hours to get to the city.

At that time, I could walk eight or nine miles in an hour, and if I went fast, I could walk about twelve miles.

Now that my cultivation is strong, I feel very relaxed even if I can walk twenty miles in an hour.

Shuangfeng Village is about fifty miles away from Black Tiger City, and it takes a full two and a half hours of walking, which is equivalent to five hours.

If you have a good mount, you won't need half an hour.

Two legs are still no match for four legs!

He thought to himself that Mr. Liu, who came from the government, obviously had a black BMW worth a thousand taels of silver, but he still wanted to buy his calf.

This shows that the Mavericks are definitely not simple.

After you make money from selling the bugs this time, buy two low-level talismans and sign a contract with Mavericks, then you can see its properties.

When he was queuing up to enter the city, he met the black-robed gangster from last time who wanted to take advantage of him.

This person's status should be slightly lower than that of an official.

Although he was wearing a black robe, he did not wear an official scarf on his head.

He glanced at Qin Niu's basket and saw that it was a piece of pig skin, and immediately showed an expression of disgust on his face.

The value of pig skin is low, so he naturally looks down upon it.

Plucked wild boar skin is not much different from ordinary pig skin.

Even wild boar skin is not worth much.

I was so exhausted that I could sell it for dozens of yuan.

Qin Niu carried the pig skin into the shoe and clothing market.

Because he had a good impression of the owner of Zhenzhen Armor Store last time, he went straight into this store.

"Can I make leather armor here? I have a piece of pig skin and I want to make it into leather armor."

Qin Niu took out the pigskin, and the waiter immediately covered his nose and took two steps back.

His brows were also slightly frowned.

"The labor price is much more valuable than your materials."

replied the man.

"I want to make leggings and a vest. How much labor will it cost?"

"At least two taels of silver are needed to go up. You should think carefully before coming."

The guy obviously wanted to send him away quickly.

"Forget it."

After hearing this, Qin Niu finally gave up the idea of ​​making armor.

I originally thought that now that my insect catching skills have improved, I often need to catch insects and walk in the mountains, so I made a pair of leggings and a vest so that I would not be afraid of the thorns in the mountains.

It also provides an extra layer of protection to avoid injuries when fighting ferocious beasts.

I was scratched on the waist by a wolf that time, and the scar is still there.

"etc!"

The short, fat store owner walked out.

He took the pigskin in Qin Niu's hand and touched it.

"Is this a mountain product?"

The so-called mountain goods refer to goods from the mountains, which means wild boar skins.

“The boss has great eyesight!”

Qin Niu praised.

"Looking at the thickness and size of this skin, it is estimated that it is only about two hundred kilograms of wild boar. It is not good for making armor. If you can hunt five or six hundred kilograms, or even larger wild boar kings, their skins have been kept in pine trees for a long time. It is said to be strong by being rubbed on it and soaked in pine oil. The leather armor made of pigskin is strong and durable, difficult to be damaged by ordinary swords, and compared with iron armor, it is lighter and more flexible.

Although what the guy said is a bit unpleasant, I suggest that the little brother give up the idea of ​​using this piece of pigskin to make armor.

Nail shops with poor craftsmanship and cheap prices will crack after a short period of wear.

And wearing it improperly will seriously affect the flexibility of the body.

The prices at a century-old store with good craftsmanship like ours are generally not cheap. The minimum labor cost to make a set of leather armor is more than two taels of silver. If you have this kind of money, you might as well buy a thinner piece of iron armor to wear. "

The store owner said sincerely.

After hearing this, Qin Niu had given up the idea of ​​using this pigskin to make armor.

"Thank you boss for your kind words. I will come back next time if necessary."

Qin Niu put the pig skins into the basket, turned around and was about to go to the shop where he sold the skins.

"It's troublesome for you to carry it back and forth. If you sell it, I'll collect it for you. Other leather goods stores only sell about fifty cash at most. I want you to take care of me in the future and give you sixty cash."

The shop owner said to him.

"OK!"

Qin Niu also knew that the price of pig skin was not high, so he quickly concluded the deal on the spot.

After selling it for sixty cents, it was considered that all the hard work was not in vain.

The most valuable thing about wild boars is their pork.

But it’s not too valuable, just a little more expensive than ordinary pork.

After selling the pig skins, he went to the Pet Shop Market first.

Although it is written about Pet City, the Insect Masters Association and the Beast Tamers Association are actually there. In addition to various beasts and mounts for sale in the market, there are also various bugs for sale.

It's just that insect control is an unpopular industry, and insect masters are generally weak, and their status is not as high as that of animal trainers.

The name of Fangshi does not reflect the sale of insects.

After entering, Qin Niu immediately felt the grandeur of this place.

Many of the people who come here wear the robes of insect masters or animal trainers. These people are noble beings.

Those wearing long robes are quasi-insect masters or quasi-animal trainers, and they can be identified by the rust badges on their chests and their waistbands.

Under normal circumstances, there is generally no way to check other people's badges.

This is personal privacy and only government officials have the right to inspect it.

However, there are also some people who love to show off and show off, and will deliberately expose their waistband, hoping that the whole world can see it.

After all, even if he is just a quasi-tamer, his status is much more noble than that of ordinary people.
