After testing the price of the Little Skeleton, Su Ping went on to test the other pets.
The Inferno Dragon was the most expensive at one hundred and fifty thousand. But its bloodline was more valuable. After all, it was an Inferno Dragon bloodline.
Pets like the Dark Dragon Hound and the Purple Python didn't have a strong bloodline background. While they were quite strong, the price was only fifty to eighty thousand.
Su Ping estimated that an average beast at the upper position of the ninth rank would only have seventy to eighty thousand energy points. The weaker ones would only have forty to fifty thousand energy points at most.
That was a reasonable price.
If it weren't for the fact that the beast-catching rings were cheaper, Su Ping wouldn't have made such a loss-making deal.
"Those peak ninth-order demonic beasts that I caught in the Secret Realm can be sold. Although it's a bit of a loss if I sell them below the market price, it's not completely without benefits. At least it can attract a lot of customers and increase the reputation of the shop, so it won't be limited to the Academy. After all, there aren't many rich students in the Academy …"
Su Ping was thinking about the future development of the store.
Joanna was sitting on the chair, bored out of her mind. Even with her profound spiritual power, she was feeling sleepy at the moment.
Su Ping raised his eyebrows. Seeing that Joanna had nothing to do, he had an idea. "Come with me to a cultivation site," he said at once.
"A cultivation site?"
Joanna frowned.
Su Ping didn't say anything else. He opened the cultivation site list and picked the cheapest one with one energy point.
"Go in."
Su Ping paid the energy point at once. At the same time, he bound Joanna and they went in together.
A force pulled Su Ping and Joanna, teleporting them to the cultivation site at the same time.
The system notified him that the connection had ended. Su Ping looked at the barren cultivation site in front of him. He had purposely chosen a barren world without any life. It could be used as a battleground.
The air was thin and the ground was bare. There were no plants. The light was dim and the temperature was low.
"What …" Joanna was stunned. She stared at this strange world in astonishment.
A moment ago, she was still in the shop, and the next second, she appeared in this world that was completely out of her perception?
Could it be that Su Ping had used this method to enter the Divine Realm?
Su Ping glanced at Joanna. He had purposely brought her here because he wanted to use this opportunity to intimidate her. This could be considered as training for the employees before the store officially opened for business.
He took out his beast-catching ring from his storage space.
The beast-catching rings appeared in his hand one after another. He gazed at them and injected astral power into them, unlocking the beast-catching rings.
With a bang, the beast-catching rings shattered one after another.
Roar!!
From the beast-catching ring that was the first to break, a ferocious and huge shadow suddenly drilled out. It was the Flame Jiao Dragon that had almost put Su Ping in danger in the Secret Realm.
After being imprisoned in the beast-catching ring for a few days, the old dragon had become much more obedient. However, it did not expect that the thing that imprisoned it would break and allow it to escape!
"Damned humans!!"
The Flame Jiao Dragon stared at Su Ping with its ferocious eyes. It was able to speak human language; it was already quite intelligent.
The Flame Jiao Dragon had been weakened after being imprisoned for a few days. However, the moment it was freed, the Flame Jiao Dragon felt that it had returned to its peak state. That was the taste of freedom.
"I'll leave them to you. Tame them one by one. As an employee of the store, this is what you should do," Su Ping said, assuming Joanna's authority.
As a matter of fact, Joanna's job was not to help him tame the beasts in the cultivation sites. Otherwise, he would have made a fortune. He could have gone to different cultivation sites to capture beasts at the beast king level to sell. No matter how cheap the beasts were, he could have become a nouveau riche in an instant.
Joanna frowned. She saw the beasts jumping out from the broken black rings. She immediately understood why Su Ping had brought her there. Clearly, he was using her!
In the past, given her arrogance, she would have looked on coldly and even made some sarcastic remarks.
But at the moment, she had been moved from the store to this strange place. Her understanding of the world had been completely overturned.
At this moment, not only was she afraid of the mysterious power in the store, but she was also afraid of Su Ping.
Su Ping was able to travel between different worlds at will. Even if that ability did not belong to him, the fact that he was able to use it was already horrifying.
After a moment of silence, Joanna heard the angry roars around her. All of a sudden, she felt agitated. She unleashed a surge of energy that was unparalleled in this world. A pure and holy golden glow was emitted from her.
"Shut up!"
She looked up and glanced at the beasts that were dashing out from the black rings.
Many beasts at the peak of the ninth rank, including the Flame Jiao Dragon and the Purple Kirin, noticed the golden figure at once. They could sense a force that was more terrifying than death.
The Flame Flood Dragon's ferocious eyes shrank as it asked in fear, "Who, who are you?"
It had not expected that it would encounter such a horrifying existence as soon as it broke free from the shackles of the strange treasure. At this moment, it even had the thought of returning to the prison.
The Purple Kirin's ferocity also disappeared. It looked at the blonde girl in fear.
It could feel a tremor from her soul. She was a creature that was completely superior to it. It was as if it had met its natural enemy.
"You maggot-like beasts, how dare you ask for my name? Die! "
Golden light condensed in Joanna's palm. The prototype of the divine spear gradually appeared. A hurricane suddenly appeared in this barren world. Rich energy gathered around her body.
Su Ping was frightened by the killing intent released by Joanna. He hurriedly said, "I'm not going to kill them. I'm just going to tame them. Don't kill them."
Joanna frowned and looked down at him. After a moment of silence, she looked up at the five beasts in front of her and said, "Surrender or die!"
Woo!
The Purple Kirin could not speak human language but it was intelligent. Hearing Joanna's words, the Purple Kirin lay down as if it had been granted amnesty.
The other beasts also lay down on the ground, trembling. They did not dare to look into Joanna's eyes.
The Flame Jiao Dragon's eyes were filled with shock and fear, as well as a deep sense of unwillingness. But in the end, it lowered its head and scratched a deep trench on the ground with its claws. "I surrender …"
Su Ping was amazed by how the five beasts were trembling. No wonder she was a Beast King. She didn't even have to do anything. She was able to intimidate those beasts at the peak of the ninth rank. She was so powerful.
Seeing that those beasts had surrendered, Su Ping stepped forward and said to the Flame Jiao Dragon, "If I remember correctly, the Flame Jiao Dragon was the only one guarding the Astral Spirit Fruit. How did you manage to hide?"
The Flame Jiao Dragon was surprised that Su Ping knew about this. The Flame Jiao Dragon looked at the human being and then at Joanna who was floating in the air. After a moment of hesitation, the Flame Jiao Dragon said, "We are beasts but we don't want to be livestock. That old dragon imprisoned our ancestors in its body and guarded its legacy for generations. No matter how many generations of us cultivated, we could never escape the rules it left behind.
"Hundreds of years ago, the dragon's soul power suddenly weakened. I was lucky enough to escape death. I cultivated in secret. All I wanted to do was to become a Beast King and get away from that evil place …"
Su Ping raised his eyebrows. It was as he had guessed. This old dragon was the last Flame Jiao Dragon that guarded the Astral Spirit Fruit.
"Do I need to go through the Heavenly Tribulation to become a Beast King?" Su Ping asked curiously.
The Flame Jiao Dragon gave him a strange look. "Of course. Beast Kings are no longer ordinary beasts. When you evolve into a Beast King, you will be punished by the force of nature …"
Joanna darted a look at Su Ping. "This is not a punishment from the force of nature, but a test from nature! Only those that can pass the test can transform from ordinary beasts to spirit beasts. Those that cannot pass the test will be annihilated.
It's not so easy to change one's bloodline and fate in the jungle of thousands of worlds. It's even more difficult to change one's life essence! "
Su Ping looked at her. For the first time, he saw pity in her eyes. It was not a pity of mockery, but a touching pity.
"I see …"
Su Ping finally had some understanding of Beast Kings.
He looked at the five beasts in front of him. They had all been subdued by Joanna. He had accomplished his mission.
…
…
Back in the store, Su Ping chose another cultivation site with one energy point. There were some low-level beasts there and the environment was not bad. He moved the Flame Jiao Dragon and the other beasts to the Devouring Realm.
In this plane, it could be said that they were 'grazing' inside.
Su Ping ignored the beasts. He sat in the store and waited for customers.
However, a few hours had passed, and not a single person was seen.
Su Ping was puzzled. Even though the store had not been upgraded and it looked shabby, the business was not that bad.
"Is it because the students have gone to the barren area to train?" Su Ping frowned. That was a pain in the ass. His store was only famous in the academy at the moment. The students of the academy had gone out to train. Those who didn't go to the barren areas were either unskilled or came from poor families. No wonder there was no business.
He had just upgraded the store and he wanted to promote more professional training services. However, there were no customers at all.
Su Ping scratched his hair. He looked at Joanna who was sitting in the chair, bored. An idea came to him. "How about you go to the door and ask for customers?"
Joanna was confused. "Ask? How? "
"Well …" Su Ping opened his mouth. He didn't know how to teach her.
At this moment, he heard footsteps outside. Su Ping's eyes glowed. He looked over and saw Su Lingyue.
The pleasant surprise on his face instantly vanished into thin air.
Su Lingyue gingerly came in. She was relieved to see Su Ping sitting inside. She asked in surprise, "Did you renovate this place yesterday? It's like a reconstruction. I almost couldn't believe it. "
Su Ping asked weakly, "What are you doing here?"
Su Lingyue raised her eyebrows and said grumpily, "I'm asking you to go for dinner. Who is this? "
Su Lingyue's attention was instantly attracted by Joanna who was sitting in the chair next to him. She was so pretty that Su Lingyue was stunned. Su Lingyue didn't even want to look away from her.
Su Lingyue had never seen a girl as beautiful as her.
Su Ping sat up from the table. He thought it would be a good idea to introduce them since they would see each other frequently in the future.
"This is a new employee. You can call her Joanna. This is my naughty sister, Su Lingyue."
Su Lingyue was surprised. A new employee?
Why would a girl with such good looks come to work for her brother, who was a straight man with cancer who could choke people to death with his words?
By the way, what do you mean by naughty sister? Did I piss you off again?!
Joanna was surprised to see Su Ping's angry face. She didn't know that Su Ping had a younger sister.
Su Lingyue couldn't ask about Joanna's salary in the presence of outsiders. She glared at Su Ping and gave him a look that said, "Wake up."
What could a pretty girl like her do that wouldn't be more profitable than working here? Even staying at home and doing live broadcasts would be better. Su Lingyue didn't believe that this girl was only here for Su Ping's salary.
