"So little brother is a beast tamer as well. To be able to reach 2-star at such a young age, you are indeed a hero!"
Even though Zhang Xuan was perplexed, he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he clasped his hands and smiled before falling silent.
Even though a 2-star beast tamer who hadn't reached twenty was considered a genius, there were still plenty of them in the Beast Hall. Thus, it wasn't a big deal at all.
Seeing the other party's perfunctory tone, Zhang Xuan couldn't be bothered to explain further.
He was here for the soul oracle tomb, so it didn't matter to him whether the other party thought highly of him or not. As long as it didn't interfere with his business, it was fine.
"Hall Master Han, Zhang..."
Seeing his old friend's attitude, Zhang Xuan knew that the other party didn't know the identity of the young man before him. Just as he was about to explain the matter to the other party, the ground in front of him suddenly trembled, and an intense roar echoed.
Roar!
It came from the cavern, and it carried the scent of thunder. Under the reverberation of the sound waves, the withered trees in the surroundings began to shed their leaves.
"Incredible!"
Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes.
Putting everything else aside, just this voice alone would be enough to kill any cultivator below the Zongshi realm without the slightest ability to resist.
To think that a single roar would be so powerful. As expected of a ferocious beast renowned throughout the League of Nations, it was indeed fearsome.
"It's awake, let's begin!"
Hall Master Han's eyes lit up. Ignoring Master Sai's words, he turned around and instructed.
Upon hearing the order, the old men beside him nodded in unison and stepped forward. One of them flicked his wrist, and the first one nodded.
Boom!
A massive corpse of a spirit beast appeared before their eyes.
"The corpse of a Transcendent Mortal 2-dan [Deerhorde Beast]? You can even hunt such a beast? "
Upon seeing this fellow, Zhao Feiwu's eyebrows shot up in disbelief.
"Is this spirit beast very formidable?" Sun Qiang asked doubtfully.
"The Deerhorde Beast is a Transcendent Mortal 2-dan spirit beast. Its cultivation isn't high, but its speed is incredible. Its meat is delicious, and it's the favorite prey of spirit beasts and cultivators alike. There might not even be a single one in the entire Jiuqu Mountain. It must have taken a lot of time and effort to capture and kill it! "
Suffering from a bizarre illness since young, Zhao Feiwu could only rely on reading books to pass her days. The Deerhorde Beast was an avid hunter.
"It seems like you know quite a lot. It took seventeen beast tamers of our Beast Hall half a year to capture the Deerhorde Beast, and after setting up an inescapable net, we finally managed to capture it! It can be said that there's only one of them in the entire Myriad Kingdom Alliance. It's impossible to find another one even if you want to! "
Hearing the conversation of the duo, the gray-robed man smiled proudly.
Even though the Deerhorde Beast's cultivation was not too high, it possessed a wary and cunning nature. If not for so many beast tamers working together, it would have been impossible for them to capture it.
"Un!" Even though the other party sounded narcissistic, Zhao Feiwu still nodded in agreement.
This thing was indeed not easy to capture. Back in the day, a prince of the Alliance Royal Family (also known as the Alliance Head's Residence) had fallen ill and needed the heart of this spirit beast for medicine. They had offered a high bounty for five years, but to no avail.
As of the matter, the king, as well, the King, the King, as, as, as, the King, how.
He had also heard about this matter. He had looked through the books and found out about the Deerhorde Beast.
"Not only is the meat of the Deerhorde Beast delicious, more importantly, it feeds on spirit herbs. Even though its cultivation isn't too high, its spiritual energy is abundant, making it a nourishing tonic. If other spirit beasts were to consume it, they would be able to easily achieve breakthroughs in their cultivation!"
Master Sai interjected, "You could say … this is a moving advancement pill!"
"I see. It seems like they are intending to use this fellow's corpse to please the Demon Cinque Beast!"
Sun Qiang finally understood and couldn't help but click his tongue.
To think that the Beast Hall Master would be able to capture such a difficult spirit beast. It seemed like the Beast Hall Master had really gone all out for this Demon Cinque Beast.
Amidst the hushed discussions, Hall Master Han took a deep breath and stepped forward.
"Brother Demon Cinque, I've prepared the things I told you about last time. They're right here. Come out and have a look!"
His voice drifted into the cavern, and a moment of silence fell. Just when everyone was nervous, a massive figure suddenly flew out.
It was a massive savage beast with a height of seven to eight meters. When it spread its wings, it spanned a total of thirty meters. Its eyes were scarlet as though blood, and its entire body was covered in scales, displaying its formidable defense.
Transcendent Mortal 4-dan pinnacle, the aerial spirit beast feared by the entire League of Nations … Demon Cinque!
Roar!
Seemingly understanding Hall Master Han's words, the massive spirit beast stared at the corpse of the Deerhorde Beast with a feverish gaze.
Spirit beasts were already capable of absorbing spiritual energy from the surroundings to raise their cultivation, and they possessed intelligence on par with humans.
The corpse of the Deerhorde Beast exuded a rich medicinal aroma and intense spiritual energy ripples. It knew that as long as it ate it, its cultivation would surely soar. Even if it couldn't reach Transcendent Mortal 5-dan, its strength would surely soar. How could it not be agitated?
"Brother Demon Cinque, as long as you agree to my conditions, this corpse of the Deerhorde Beast will be yours!"
Seeing that it was tempted, Hall Master Han chuckled lightly.
Roar!
Turning its head over, the Demon Cinque Beast seemed to be interested to hear his conditions.
"For the past three years, Brother Demon Cinque and I have interacted day and night, so I believe you should have a good understanding of his personality by now. My request is simple... I hope that you can become my tamed beast!" Hall Master Han said. "Don't worry, we can sign a fair contract. As long as you are unwilling to do anything, you can turn me down!"
Roar!
Hearing that it wanted to become Zhang Xuan's tamed beast, the Demon Cinque Beast roared savagely. Powerful shockwaves rippled from its body, leaving one with goosebumps.
If Hall Master Han were to continue speaking, it would surely make a move on him.
But that was to be expected. Possessing the bloodline of the Spirit Tribe, how could it possibly submit to a mere human and become a guard dog?
"Don't be in such a hurry to make a decision!"
Seeing the Demon Cinque Beast's determined attitude, Hall Master Han's complexion turned awful. However, he still chuckled and said, "I believe you are aware of my identity in the human world. I'm the hall master of the Beast Hall. Brother Demon Cinque, as long as you are with me, I will treat you as my best friend. As long as you ask for cultivation resources, no matter how difficult it is, I will find a way to help you! Even though spirit beasts have a long lifespan, how long do you think it will take to raise your cultivation just by absorbing spiritual energy? Isn't it much better for you to stay by my side? "
After which, Hall Master Han waved his hands.
The elders walked forward, and a pile of spirit stones appeared on the ground.
They were all low-tier spirit stones, and they were piled up into a small hill. There were at least a few thousand of them, and the concentrated spiritual energy emanating from them caused one's pores to open up and feel an indescribable sense of comfort.
Spirit stones weren't just required by humans, spirit beasts required them as well.
Absorbing spiritual energy from spirit stones was clearly much faster than absorbing it from the air.
"There are a total of eight thousand spirit stones here. As long as you are willing, I can give them to you right now..."
Hall Master Han said.
The reason why Zhang Xuan was able to take out so many spirit stones in a single go while Hall Master Sai couldn't even take out five thousand wasn't because the latter was wealthier than him. Rather, Hall Master Sai had used most of his spirit stones to purchase treasures, so he didn't have much to spare. In terms of wealth, Hall Master Sai was definitely superior.
It was just like those antique collectors in Zhang Xuan's previous life. Even if they were to sell all of their treasures, they would still be unable to match up to those wealthy merchants.
"If you aren't interested in these spirit stones, I'm sure this will be of great use to you!"
Seeing that the Demon Cinque Beast remained motionless even after taking out the spirit stones, Hall Master Han hesitated for a moment. Gritting his teeth, he flicked his wrist and took out a jade box.
Opening it lightly, a spirit stone was embedded within.
Hong long!
As soon as the spirit stone appeared, the surrounding spiritual energy immediately grew denser, as though forming a mist. As long as one held onto the spirit stone, even without absorbing it, the concentrated spiritual energy would automatically seep into one's body, nourishing one's muscles and body.
To put it simply, if one were to place such a spirit stone on an infant, even if the latter didn't know how to cultivate, the nourishment from the spiritual energy within would allow one's body to grow stronger. In less than two months, one's physical body would be on par with a Pigu realm expert.
"Could it be... a middle-tier spirit stone?"
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up, and he clenched his fists tightly.
After reading innumerable books, he had gained a rough understanding of the grading of spirit stones.
The Spirit Stones in his possession were of the lowest grade, the so-called lower grade.
Spirit stones of this grade could be used by Transcendent Mortal 4-dan and below to cultivate. However, it would be difficult for one to use the spiritual energy contained within to reach higher realms.
Taking Zhang Xuan for example, his Heaven's Path zhenqi was simply too pure. Even though he was only at Transcendent Mortal 1-dan Prolonged Longevity realm pinnacle, low-tier spirit stones were no longer of much use to him. In order to reach Origin Energy realm, not only would he require Heaven's Path secret manuals, more importantly, he would need a middle-tier spirit stone!
Putting everything aside, just this middle-tier spirit stone was more than sufficient for him to push for Origin Energy realm pinnacle from Prolonged Longevity realm pinnacle.
Even though quantity could induce qualitative change, the difference in quality was too great. No amount of quantity was sufficient.
It was just like how a sufficient amount of grass could be used to purchase a diamond. However, it was impossible for it to replace the properties of a diamond.
Thus, even if ten thousand low-tier spirit stones could be exchanged for a middle-tier spirit stone, it was impossible for it to replace the effects of a middle-tier spirit stone.
"Indeed, it's a middle-tier spirit stone!"
Not expecting his old friend to take out such an item, Master Sai's eyes widened in shock.
Middle-tier spirit stones were incomparably valuable. Even the League of Nations didn't have many of them in their storage. For his old friend to take out one, the price he had to pay was probably even higher than that of the Deerhorde Beast!
Roar!
Upon seeing the middle-tier spirit stone, not only was the crowd astonished, the eyes of the Demon Cinque Beast turned even redder.
Hall Master Han was also reluctant to take out his trump card. However, he knew that he wouldn't be able to achieve anything without risking something. Thus, gritting his teeth, he said, "As long as Brother Demon Cinque agrees to become my tamed beast, I'll give this middle-tier spirit stone to you for your use... Hmm? Brother Demon Cinque, what are you up to... "
Before he could finish his words, the Demon Cinque Beast flapped its blade-like wings, and its massive body charged forward. Its claws whistled through the air as it tried to grab the middle-tier spirit stone in Hall Master Han's hand.
"Snatch it by force? The heck! "
(It's time for the third update! Due to the change of map, I've been stuck for the past two days. Even so, Laoya didn't stop updating. Yesterday, my eyes suddenly blurred, and I couldn't see anything at all. Yet, I still managed to complete the update and added another one... To the hardworking Laoya, do you think it's worth it to vote for me? Thanks!)
