"A Half-Transcendent Mortal 9-dan Great Violetwing Beast?"
Senior Feng and the young man's eyelids twitched in astonishment.
They were both Transcendent Mortal 5-dan cultivators, and even if they had aerial tamed beasts, they would only be at Cosmos Bridge realm at most. At their level, they would still be killed by a Transcendent Mortal 7-dan or 8-dan spirit beast.
However, the Great Violetwing Beast was different. As a Half-Transcendent 9-dan spirit beast, it would probably be killed before it could do anything to them.
And as expected, before they could finish their thoughts, a Transcendent Mortal 8-dan fish leaped out of the water and attempted to devour Zhang Xuan and the young man whole. However, before it could even come close, it was already noticed, and with a swipe of its claw, it was crushed to death. Even its inner core was captured in the palm of the young man's hand.
"H-how could he have such a powerful tamed beast?"
Senior Feng gulped down a mouthful of saliva, and his voice sounded hoarse.
Wasn't he only at Consonant Spirit realm?
To tame a half 9-dan spirit beast as his tamed beast … How in the world did he do it?
Initially, the other party was reluctant to spend a middle-tier spirit stone on him, so he thought that he had the upper hand. However, upon seeing this sight, he realized how laughable his pride was!
With such a powerful tamed beast, they could just fly over. Who would want to sit on a slow ferry?
Putting aside paying for it, he wouldn't even take the ferry if he had to pay for it!
"Senior Feng, look … why aren't they moving forward?"
Raising his head, he saw the Great Violetwing Beast that Zhang Shi was riding on had stopped in midair, seemingly in no hurry to move forward.
Didn't they ride on an aerial spirit beast so that they could reach the trade fair faster? Why were they stopping there?
Perplexed, the Great Violetwing Beast flapped its massive wings once more, and it dived straight down to the surface of the water.
Hu la!
Another Transcendent Mortal 7-dan or 8-dan aquatic spirit beast was crushed to death, and its inner core was taken away.
After doing this, the Great Violetwing Beast floated in midair once more, and a moment later, it dived down to the other side of the water once more …
"Are they … hunting?"
The duo and the ferryman glanced at one another, and they nearly burst into tears.
To others, this lake was a land of slaughter. Yet, this fellow treated it as a cornucopia, coming here to fish …
"How can the Great Violetwing Beast capture a spirit beast in the water?"
While he was shocked, he felt even more incredulous.
It was undeniable that the Great Violetwing Beast was powerful, but … no matter how powerful it was, it was only an overlord of the sky. Spirit beasts in the water had their own way of survival. Even if it could not defeat the Great Violetwing Beast, it was still able to escape easily … How could it possibly capture the Great Violetwing Beast so easily?
It was as if he knew where the spirit beasts in the water would swim in advance. Once he attacked, he would definitely not miss …
How did he do it?
"Indeed … More importantly, no matter how formidable the Great Violetwing Beast is, surely it won't be that easy for it to kill a Transcendent Mortal 8-dan spirit beast …"
Even if a Half 9-dan cultivator was able to defeat an 8-dan cultivator, it was impossible for him to be that much stronger than a Half 9-dan cultivator. This was especially so for spirit beasts. Due to their superior defensive prowess, it was still possible for them to withstand a few blows in a battle. However … the Great Violetwing Beast was able to find the flaws of the spirit beasts in the water and kill them in a single move …
Wasn't this a little too powerful …
On the other hand, Zhang Xuan nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the Spirit Core in his hand.
He needed capital to purchase items at the trade fair. Given that he was penniless at the moment, there was no way he would let so many spirit beasts escape unscathed.
The inner cores of Transcendent Mortal 8-dan spirit beasts could be used as medicinal herbs, formations, and even cultivation techniques. Thus, the value of them was considerable.
As for how he could locate these spirit beasts, with the help of the Library of Heaven's Path, as long as they wanted to attack, it would be a walk in the park for him to pinpoint their weak points.
In less than an hour, Zhang Xuan had already killed more than a dozen Transcendent Mortal 8-dan spirit beasts and twenty Transcendent Mortal 7-dan spirit beasts. Their inner cores piled up in his storage ring.
"Most of the Transcendent Mortal 7-dan spirit beasts in the lake have been killed. Let's head to the trade fair!"
After circling around the lake a few more times, Zhang Xuan couldn't find any more spirit beasts. Thus, he waved his hands in disappointment.
Even though there were many spirit beasts in the lake, there was only a limited number of them within a certain range. Nevertheless, they couldn't withstand his relentless slaughter.
In the past half a day, he had already killed most of the Great Violetwing Beast. Even if there were any left, they were in the minority.
Knowing that there was no point in staying here any longer, the Great Violetwing Beast flapped its wings and flew toward the ship that was heading toward the trade fair.
Not too long later, Zhang Xuan and Hong Shi leaped onto the ship.
The ship was extremely large, spanning several hundred meters in length. In the spacious cabin, there were many stalls lined up one after another. All kinds of resources were sold here, and the place was bustling with activity.
"Do you see that? Those two are the fellows riding on the Great Violetwing Beast to hunt on the lake!"
"To think that the lake that others fear so much has become a hunting ground … Is that fellow really a freshman?"
"Those who aren't freshmen aren't allowed to stay here!"
"Tamed beasts have to communicate with one another in order to better coordinate with one another. Even with the help of an elder, they have to grow up together for them to be able to cooperate so well. This Great Violetwing Beast has a lifespan of over two hundred years whereas the other party isn't even thirty yet.
"Indeed. Despite not even reaching Transcendent Mortal 6-dan, he managed to tame a half 9-dan spirit beast … When did spirit beasts become so easy to tame?"
…
The news of the Great Violetwing Beast hunting on the lake had spread far and wide. Upon seeing the duo, everyone widened their eyes in astonishment, as if they were looking at a monster.
Those who were able to participate in the trade fair were all talented master teachers from the various powers. Naturally, they could tell that the Great Violetwing Beast was the tamed beast that Zhang Xuan had tamed.
Just that … for a Consonant Spirit realm lad to tame a half 9-dan spirit beast … no matter how they racked their brains, they couldn't figure out what was going on.
The difference was simply too huge!
It was as if an ant had tamed a divine dragon, it was truly unbelievable.
"Most likely … the Great Violetwing Beast was severely injured, and Zhang Xuan happened to save it, thus earning its gratitude …"
"That's possible!"
After a moment of shock, a theory surfaced in their minds.
It wasn't impossible for a low cultivation cultivator to tame a high-tier spirit beast, but it required a great deal of luck.
"Humph, he's just a lucky fellow!"
Coming to this realization, the shock on Zhang Xuan's face gradually disappeared.
At the end of the day, master teachers still had to rely on their strength. If they were lucky, they might be able to accomplish one or two things. However, once they entered the academy, they would still have to rely on their strength.
"Zhang Shi, what should we do …"
Hong shi didn't expect to cause such a huge commotion. To be stared at by so many people as soon as he arrived at the trade fair, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
"It's fine!"
With a smile, Zhang Xuan flicked his wrist, and a spirit beast inner core appeared in his palm. Sweeping his gaze across the crowd, he declared, "Transcendent Mortal 7-dan spirit beast inner core for a Consonant Spirit realm cultivation technique manual. As long as it's suitable, I'll trade it for one inner core!"
"One inner core for one inner core? Zhang Shi … "
Hong Shi's body swayed weakly, and he nearly fainted on the spot.
Wasn't this a little too cheap?
Even though the Great Violetwing Beast was incomparably powerful, he had only obtained a few dozen inner cores from it. If he were to trade it for one inner core … wouldn't he be making a huge loss?
"Are you telling the truth?"
"As long as it's a Consonant Spirit realm or Cosmos Bridge realm cultivation technique manual, I'll be able to trade it for one?"
As expected, upon hearing those words, the eyes of the crowd immediately lit up. None of them dared to believe what they were hearing.
In this world, there were many different kinds of cultivation technique manuals. Most of them weren't unique cultivation technique manuals, but they weren't secrets either. As long as one collected them, it wasn't too difficult to find thousands or even tens of thousands of cultivation technique manuals of the same realm.
There were many master teachers who had compiled and compiled cultivation technique manuals for themselves.
As such, while these cultivation technique manuals might be valuable to others, they weren't worth much to master teachers. To be able to trade a Transcendent Mortal 7-dan inner core for a single one of them was definitely a huge profit!
"I swear on my reputation as a master teacher that I will never cheat anyone! As for Cosmos Bridge realm cultivation technique manuals, I'll trade a Transcendent Mortal 8-dan inner core for one! "
Zhang Xuan chuckled softly. "However, the prerequisite is that it has to be suitable. If it's not suitable, I won't accept it. Rest assured, regardless of whether it's suitable or not, I'll just touch it. There's no need for me to look at the title or the content. If it's not suitable, I won't open it. Thus, you don't have to worry about your cultivation technique being leaked. Even if it's suitable, I'll return it to you after a single look. I won't ask for the original copy or even make a copy of it! "
"If it's not suitable, you won't open it? You won't look at it? "
"Even if it's suitable, you won't leave. You're exchanging it for a Transcendent Mortal 7-dan and 8-dan inner core just by looking at it once?"
"That's a good deal!"
…
Hearing Zhang Xuan's words, the eyes of the crowd lit up.
Since they wouldn't be able to read the cultivation technique manuals without opening them, they couldn't help but feel excited.
"I have 22 Consonant Spirit realm cultivation technique manuals here. Take a look and see if there's anything suitable for you!"
Amidst the discussions, a master teacher walked up and took out a pile of books with a flick of his wrist.
Zhang Xuan smiled faintly as he swiped his finger across the books. After which, he shook his head and said, "My apologies, but none of your books are suitable for me …"
"You don't have any suitable books?"
The master teacher shook his head in disappointment upon hearing that he was unable to make the exchange. Shaking his head, he retreated.
He retreated, and the surrounding people all nodded when they saw this.
The other party was right. Zhang Xuan had only touched the books, not flipped through them.
Touching them … Even the most formidable person wouldn't be able to decipher the contents!
As long as the cultivation technique wasn't leaked … there was nothing for him to worry about!
"Allow me …"
The allure of Transcendent Mortal 7-dan and 8-dan inner cores was simply too tempting. Unable to hold back their curiosity any longer, the crowd took out their cultivation technique manuals and walked up to Zhang Xuan.
Soon, the cultivation technique manuals before Zhang Xuan were piled up like a mountain.
However, through his touch, he only managed to find two suitable books …
Of course, he had only mentioned these two books casually. If they weren't suitable, the difficulty would be too great, and the crowd would lose interest in them.
"My apologies, but I'll stop here for today. Why don't you all go back and look for more? From tomorrow onward, I'll exchange my Cosmos Bridge realm cultivation technique manuals for two Transcendent Mortal 8-dan spirit beast inner cores!"
Two hours later, Zhang Xuan finally stopped and glanced at the crowd apologetically.
He had already collected quite a few Consonant Spirit realm cultivation technique manuals, but there were only a few Cosmos Bridge realm cultivation technique manuals.
