Yang Qingxuan glanced at the items on display. They were all low-end materials and some spiritual plants. None of them were valuable.
The Void Heaven Ancient Battlefield was filled with deserts and very few green areas. Since he could collect so many spiritual plants, he most likely entered some canyon. "Where did you find these Mystic Wood Thorns? Give me the spatial coordinates and I'll add another five thousand spirit stones."
The stall owner rolled his eyes and smiled apologetically, "Add another ten thousand. That place is a treasure trove. There are many Mystic Wood Thorns."
Zi Yuan frowned and said, "Why are you so greedy? These things are only worth ten thousand spirit stones. Qing Xuan is already very generous to give you twenty-five thousand spirit stones."
The stall owner was a little embarrassed. He smiled embarrassedly and said, "Alright, deal." Then, he wrote down the spatial coordinates of the canyon.
Yang Qingxuan handed over the spirit stones and put the Mystic Wood Thorns into his Star Ring. He placed it in front of the Crimson Archaeoscorpion.
He was interested in these Mystic Wood Thorns because he sensed the Archaeoscorpion's aura fluctuations. It seemed to want these thorns very much.
Sure enough, the Crimson Archaeoscorpion's eyes lit up when it saw these thorns. It pounced on them and bit them into its mouth. It ate them clean in a few bites. As if it was still not satisfied, its green eyes flickered, indicating that it wanted more.
Yang Qingxuan felt his heart ache and scolded, "You ate twenty-five thousand spirit stones in one go. Where do I have so much money for you to eat? Wait for me to go to that canyon and see if I can find more. It would be best if I could plant a patch in my Star Ring. That way, you can have an unlimited supply. "
The Archaeoscorpion seemed to understand and immediately looked disappointed when it realized that there were no thorns to eat. It let out a soft sound and then lay on the ground, returning to its half-dead state.
However, Yang Qingxuan sensed that the Archaeoscorpion's aura had become stronger. Although it was a very faint change, it was very clear.
"So it can survive by eating Profound Wood Thorns. If only the academy's forbidden grounds were still here. The endless amount of Profound Wood Thorns would be enough for it to eat its fill."
Yang Qingxuan thought to himself. Suddenly, he had a thought and heard Hua Jieyu's voice. "I know what you're thinking. Those Mysterious Wood Thorns were indeed brought over by me. Back then, I saw a few in the cracks of the Void Heaven Ancient Road and found them interesting, so I transplanted them. As for whether they can be cultivated in the Star Ring, it's hard to say. After all, no life form can survive in the Sumeru Mustard Space. We can only stay in the Star Ring because of the ancient contract. "
Yang Qingxuan was somewhat disappointed and said, "Let's wait until we get the roots of this thing. I hope there is a way. Otherwise, just feeding this Archaeoscorpion will drive me crazy."
Hua Jieyu frowned and said, "Don't be too kind. Raising a thing that only eats and doesn't work. If it still refuses to submit to you, I suggest you kill it as soon as possible. You can still sell it for a good price."
In the other Star Ring, the Archaeoscorpion suddenly stood up. An irritable aura emanated from it as its entire body emitted powerful Desolate Qi. Its poisonous tail hung upside down in the air and its eyes flickered with green light. It seemed to directly look through the space it was in to express its strong protest.
Hua Jieyu naturally sensed it. She sneered and said, "See, this beast can understand human language and has been pretending to be stupid all this time. You're still a poor loser. You can't even eat your fill, let alone raise such a venerable pet. "
Yang Qingxuan nodded repeatedly with a thoughtful expression and said, "That makes sense. I'll think about it."
The Archaeoscorpion was even more furious. It let out a low growl and circles of light emitted from its tail. It spread in all directions as if it was about to attack at any time.
Not only did Yang Qingxuan and Hua Jieyu's expressions change, even Zi Yuan seemed to have sensed something. Her eyes widened as she looked at the ring in Yang Qingxuan's hand. She said in a daze, "That Archaeoscorpion …"
Yang Qingxuan raised his hand and motioned for her to be quiet. He said, "It's okay."
Then, the power of the Azure Dragon materialized from the Star Ring and circled in the air. Its huge body almost took up the entire sky. Its huge dragon head poked out and stared coldly at the Archaeoscorpion.
The Archaeoscorpion's aura stagnated. Its violent energy seemed to have solidified. It lay dormant on the ground in fear, not daring to move.
The dragon and the scorpion faced each other like this. After a while, they dispersed their auras and returned to normal. The Archaeoscorpion continued to lie on the ground, but it no longer looked lazy and played dead. Its green eyes flashed as if it was thinking of something.
Suddenly, a man's voice sounded in Yang Qingxuan's mind. It was dry and stiff. It called out to him, "Yang Qingxuan."
Yang Qingxuan was stunned. He was quite surprised. He scanned the Star Ring with his consciousness suspiciously and looked at the Archaeoscorpion.
"Yes, I'm talking to you. Although it's just a simple communication through consciousness, you and I have a contract. It's easy to do this."
The green light in the Archaeoscorpion's eyes flickered. Its aura was also a little chaotic.
After a moment of surprise, Yang Qingxuan transmitted his voice with his consciousness, "I'm listening."
The Archaeoscorpion said in a deep voice, "I want to make a deal with you."
"A deal?"
Yang Qingxuan laughed and said, "There's a small market opening in the next few days. Are you here to join in on the fun? Do you want to sell your scorpion shell or its inner core? "
The Crimson Archaeoscorpion growled and said angrily, "Darn humans! A million years ago, you were just a slave-like race. Now, you dare to stand above us!? "
The smile on Yang Qingxuan's face vanished as his eyes turned cold. He said, "Watch your words. A million years ago is a million years ago. This is the present. I don't care how awesome the Desolate race was in the past. This is no longer the Middle Ages that allowed you to reign supreme. The times are constantly moving forward. It's survival of the fittest. Besides, you are just a desolate beast reared by the Desolate race. How honorable are you? After living for a million years, you still have such intelligence. I'm a little regretful. Why did I take in such a stupid creature like you? "
The Crimson Archaeoscorpion was stunned by his scolding and could not regain its senses.
However, its green eyes flickered violently. It was obvious that it was extremely unsettled. It took a while before it recovered.
"Alright, even if you are right, I will not argue with you. I only want to make a deal with you. Give me fifty kilograms of Mystic Wood Thorns a day and I can help you once a day, but it will not accumulate. "
The Crimson Archaeoscorpion calmed down and said slowly.
Yang Qingxuan jumped in fright and nearly cursed, "Fifty kilograms? Do you think this is sand? What you just ate was less than fifteen kilograms, but it cost twenty-five thousand Spirit Stones. And this is the price of a street stall. If you were to buy it from a merchant association, it would cost at least fifty thousand. Supplying fifty kilograms of Mystic Wood Thorns would cost about two hundred thousand Spirit Stones. If you want to eat two hundred thousand Spirit Stones a day from me, why don't you just suck my blood! "
