Peerless Insect Deity

Chapter 190: Wishful thinking is a curse, not a blessing



Ye Lin was delighted when he heard this.

"I wonder how many spirit stones are needed on average to get a flaming demon scorpion egg?"

Su Lingwei stretched out a slender jade finger.

"About 10,000 spirit stones, how many do you want, brother?"

It is indeed a little expensive to buy a flaming demon scorpion egg with 10,000 spirit stones, but it is still within Ye Lin's expectations. After all, this is a spirit insect on the rare spirit insect list. It is not easy to encounter it, and there is only a small probability of obtaining insect eggs.

If Ye Lin were to find it himself, he might not be able to find one or two in half a year or even a year.

Ye Lin thought for a while, and then said: "The more the better. It would be best if you can help with long-term purchases. Let's set a small goal first and collect 100 from him."

Su Lingwei was also shocked...

One hundred flaming demon scorpion eggs, but one million spirit stones, she now actually has some doubts, is Ye Lin really a Qi Refining cultivator? Why is he more arrogant than a Jindan strongman?

Ye Lin seemed to see Su Lingwei's concerns, and he added: "Sister, don't worry. If I don't have enough money to pay, I will use other resources to pay off the debt. If I really don't have money, I will definitely notify you in advance to stop the purchase."

It's impossible for Ye Lin to take out one million spirit stones at once, but the Treasure Pavilion can only collect a few flaming scorpion eggs a month, and the cost is about tens of thousands of spirit stones every month. As Ye Lin's snow silkworm babies grow bigger and bigger, the output of top-grade snow silk is also growing rapidly.

So this one million spirit stones sounds very exaggerated, but Ye Lin's financial pressure is actually not great.

And since Ye Lin wants to build an alchemy assembly line, this flaming scorpion is indispensable, the more the better.

Ye Lin learned about the flaming scorpion from his master's collection of books. This kind of spirit insect does not live on the surface, but lives in the cave world. It is good at spitting out difficult-to-extinguish demon fire. Even the flaming scorpion with the cultivation of the eleventh or twelfth level of Qi training can kill the foundation-building period cultivators by spitting fire when caught off guard.

Every year, many monks who venture into the caves encounter the Fiery Scorpion, so the name has the word "demon".

The Fiery Scorpion can not only spit out stable demon fire, but its combat power is also extremely strong, and many insect cultivators cultivate it as their main combat power.

So Ye Lin's idea is to carefully cultivate a kind of spirit insect that can be mass-produced and mass-combat. In terms of spitting demon fire, there are better spirit insects on the rare spirit insect list, and in terms of combat power, there are also more vicious than the Fiery Scorpion, but overall, the Fiery Scorpion is the most satisfactory choice in Ye Lin's heart.

Of course, there is another very objective reason that makes Ye Lin have to choose the Fiery Scorpion...

Because he is poor...

The ranking of rare spirit insects in Xunlong Mountain Range includes a total of fifty spirit insects, and the higher the ranking of these fifty, the rarer they are, and the stronger their combat power. Similarly, the spirit insect eggs are more difficult to obtain, and the prices of the top twenty spirit insect eggs are ridiculously high.

Hearing Ye Lin's confidence, Su Lingwei immediately agreed with a smile, and told Ye Lin that as long as the eggs were collected, she would notify him as soon as possible, and then Ye Lin would pay the money and deliver the goods, and directly explained that Zhenbao Pavilion would only charge Ye Lin a 5% premium for each order.

Ye Lin was very satisfied with this.

Collecting things is not like consignment. If it is consignment, Zhenbao Pavilion does not have to pay for labor costs, but if it is to collect treasures, it will take a lot of manpower. With a 5% premium, Zhenbao Pavilion probably didn't even make hard-earned money, and it was purely for the sake of making friends and giving him a big face.

Ye Lin naturally felt the kindness released by this "Sister Su", and the status of Zhenbao Pavilion in his heart naturally improved. There should be many places for cooperation in the future.

After all, Ye Lin has to build various production lines. He can't set up stalls to sell these products himself, nor can he open a store and then develop branches to sell them. This is too energy-consuming. He really needs a trustworthy big store to cooperate with him to sell.

Since Su Lingwei was familiar with the senior sister, and was the owner of the Treasure Pavilion, and took such enthusiastic care of him, it was natural that she would be the first choice for future cooperation.

After the transaction was completed, Su Lingwei smiled and said goodbye. Ye Lin also stood up and wanted to leave the Treasure Pavilion, but as soon as he walked out of the reception room, he met the beautiful junior sister who was charming and flirting with him.

In the past, this junior sister could only be described as enthusiastic.

But now, she wanted to stick to him immediately, and had already started to show off her figure. Her voice was also delicate, and she wanted to melt Ye Lin completely on the spot.

Seeing this woman so enthusiastic, Ye Lin remembered that he was still short of a batch of alchemy furnaces, which could be purchased at the Treasure Pavilion.

So, under the leadership of this beautiful junior sister, he bought thirty high-grade magic alchemy furnaces.

This alchemy furnace is different from ordinary magic tools. Because a lot of materials are consumed during forging, the price of a high-grade magic alchemy furnace is several times more expensive than other high-grade magic tools.

These thirty alchemy furnaces, even though the Treasure Pavilion was already selling them at a discount, Ye Lin still spent 60,000 spirit stones.

Seeing Ye Lin's generosity, the beautiful sister's eyes lit up, and she even hinted that she was willing to be Ye Lin's concubine and serve him sincerely for the rest of her life.

However, when the beautiful woman took the initiative to throw herself into his arms, Ye Lin just pretended not to understand, dealt with it in a few words, and then ruthlessly walked away from the Treasure Pavilion.

The beautiful sister could only look at the direction where Ye Lin disappeared and sighed, feeling extremely disappointed.

"If I can get close to Senior Brother Ye and become his concubine, no, even if I become his maid, even if I am mediocre in talent, I can break through the foundation-building stage with his help in the future, and even have the possibility of going a step further to overcome the heavenly tribulation and achieve the Jindan stage, becoming a Jindan fairy admired by everyone..."

"What a pity, Senior Brother Ye seems to look down on me."

"But don't be discouraged, Senior Brother Ye will definitely come to the Treasure Pavilion often in the future. Maybe next time he comes, Senior Brother Ye will change his mind. After all, men are sometimes as holy as golden Buddhas, and sometimes as lewd as demons. It would be a pity to let go of such a heaven-sent opportunity."

Just as she was lost in thought, the old man's cough suddenly came from behind.

"Xiao Lian, you have worked in the Treasure Pavilion for many years. You should know your limits. Fellow Daoist Ye is a real dragon, and even the Pavilion Master should treat you politely."

"Wishful thinking is a disaster, not a blessing."

The beautiful junior sister's face turned pale in an instant, and she bowed deeply to the old man.

"Thank you, thank you for your reminder, Xiaolian understands, and will never do it again!"

The old steward looked at her calmly, shook his head first, and then said calmly: "I am an experienced person, and I know you will not give up easily."

"Some thoughts cannot be had. Once you have them, you can't stop. Extreme desire and failure to obtain them will eventually make you fall into the devil's way."

"You will set off tomorrow and go to the shop in the mortal world to be a good steward."

The woman named "Xiaolian" was trembling, her face was as pale as paper, but she still nodded in the end.

"Yes, sir!"
