"Grandpa!"
Dongfang Yudie hugged the arm of a white-bearded old man and called out affectionately.
This was the third elder of the Dongfang family, Dongfang Tie! As a general-level Spirit Controller, he was a famous expert in Megarock City.
However, Dongfang Tie, who was usually in charge of the Hall of Penal Laws and had a majestic and incorruptible demeanor in front of his clansmen, quickly melted when he was with his granddaughter. "Haha … my good granddaughter, why are you so happy today?"
"It's because of cousin!"
Dongfang Dieyu rambled on, but when he heard that Dongfang Shuoming had used a gray wolf to fight the Frost Wolf to a draw, Dongfang Tie's eyebrows twitched. "What did he say after the battle?"
"What's wrong?"
Although Dongfang Dieyu had yet to gain experience, she was talented and intelligent. She remembered most of Wu Ming's words and repeated them to him.
"This youth … isn't simple …"
Dongfang Tie silently closed his eyes. He knew that there was a type of Spirit Controller in this world that was born with extreme talent for battle. They could even surpass their abilities and create miracles.
"What a pity … it's still a gray wolf! How many detours will he have to go through before he finally realizes his mistake? "
"Grandpa …"
Dongfang Dieyu tugged at Dongfang Tie's arm and shook it. "Shuoming's gray wolf looks so pitiful. It's all skin and bones. Why don't we let it stay with us and raise it with Little White?"
"Cough cough …"
Dongfang Tie didn't say anything when a middle-aged man beside him spat out a mouthful of tea. "Dieyu, are you crazy? Do you know how expensive Saro Meat is? And … it's just a gray wolf! It's a waste to eat it! "
"Father, how can you say that? But cousin Shuoming also said the same thing. He rejected it first … "
Dieyu said this and kicked a stone, somewhat displeased.
"Mm … at least he knows his place!"
The middle-aged man held his wallet and nodded with a smile. He saw the same expression in his father's eyes.
… …
"Steward, I want to exchange for five kilograms of Saro Meat, as well as bone-strengthening powder, claw grinding stones …"
Inside the Duty Hall, Wu Ming handed over a bag of spirit coins and said.
In the Dongfang family, there was naturally a Material Hall for new Spirit Controllers. It sold food ingredients, combat skills, and other miscellaneous items. The variety was even more abundant than in the outside world!
Yesterday, Wu Ming did not want outsiders to know that he had entered the Starry Firefly Mountains at night. Naturally, he had chosen to dispose of his stolen goods in the outside world. Furthermore, he had also kept a trump card.
Now, these were all ordinary expenses. Naturally, they could be solved internally. Moreover, it would be cheaper.
"En … Three hundred spirit coins in total, just right!"
The deacon of the Steward's Hall weighed the bag in his hand and accurately estimated the number of spirit coins. He then took out another cloth bag and quickly put all the things that Wu Ming wanted into it before handing it over to the counter.
Wu Ming opened it on the spot and examined it. He nodded to himself and left the Steward's Hall.
'Looks like Dongfang Ba isn't ready to harm me in this aspect … However, he's on the side of the Grand Elder and has a great influence. I have to be on guard against him! Now that you're not going to restrict me in terms of resources, you're going to attack me directly? As for the timing … it should be before the family competition. Is he going to chase me out of the family directly? '
With his experience, he could easily guess the other party's little trick. It was not difficult at all.
'It's just that … the cost of raising Phantom Spirits … is really …'
Wu Ming smiled bitterly. What he had bought today was only enough to feed the gray wolf for five days. Moreover, he had also received a discount from the family.
If it were in the outside world, the cost would be one or two times higher.
This kind of consumption was indeed difficult for a new spirit controller to bear.
'But I'm using the best conditions … Other spirit controllers will at most feed the gray wolf fresh beef, mutton, and fresh milk. That way, the consumption will be lower … It's time to earn some money …'
The gray wolf's foundation was poor. He could not fall behind when it came to nurturing it!
If he were to use advanced consumption methods, even the three thousand spirit coins that Dongfang Dieyu had given him would not last long.
After all, apart from eating and drinking every day, Wu Ming was also preparing to create combat techniques for the gray wolf. He was even preparing for its future evolution. This consumption was like a mountain or an ocean.
"Dongfang Shuoming!"
At this moment, a cold voice rang out. It had a tinge of the authority of a criminal law.
"Hmm? Dongfang Ao and Dongfang Yue from the Hall of Penal Law. What can I do for you? "
In front of Wu Ming were a handsome man and a beautiful woman. They wore the uniform of the Hall of Beheadings and Executions in pure black. They looked valiant and heroic, but their expressions were cold, and their eyebrows were furrowed. Ordinary Eastern tribesmen would tremble at the sight of them.
"It's no big deal!"
Dongfang Yue's voice was cold, and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Ordinary teenagers and even adults would feel weak at the knees and guilty when they saw people from the Hall of Penal Law, regardless of whether they had violated the ancestral rules or not.
However, this teenager was calm and collected. It was already a good thing that he had the same temperament.
'What a pity … the gray wolf …'
Dongfang Yue's eyes were filled with pity. "In three days, Dongfang Ao and I will lead the new spirit controllers to the Starry Firefly Mountain for training … What do you think? Are you interested? "
"What? Dongfang Yue from the Hall of Penal Law is inviting Dongfang Shuoming? "
Next to them, the gloating Easterners suddenly felt indignant. "This is a great opportunity to improve their combat power and gather materials! Dongfang Yue and Dongfang Ao were in the top ten of the last family competition. Now that they have both become soldier level spirit controllers, they can almost do whatever they want in the Starry Firefly Mountain! "
"Why did you pick that good-for-nothing when it's such a good opportunity?"
…
"Oh? Since senior sister has personally invited me, it would be impolite of me to refuse! "
Wu Ming's eyes flashed and he agreed with a smile.
"Good! Meet me at the gate in the morning in three days. Don't be late! "
Dongfang Ao was very arrogant. That was all he said. Then, he turned around and left with Dongfang Yue.
'It seems that … the Third Elder has heard of the foundation that Dongfang Dieyu has laid and is showing his goodwill?'
In Wu Ming's mind, he had a vague guess.
The Hall of Penal Law accepted all experts. With Dongfang Ao and Dongfang Yue leading the way, the danger in the Starry Firefly Mountain would be reduced a lot. This was a good thing that outsiders could not ask for, so he had to agree.
"Damn it! It's the Hall of Penal Law! "
After Wu Ming left, Luo Geng gritted his teeth in the shadows at the side. His face was ferocious. "With the Hall of Penal Law's protection, there is no way to deal with him during this training period!"
"No! I have to inform Brother Jie Ao. I can't underestimate this kid! "
Luo Geng's heart was burning with hatred. His figure quickly disappeared …
…
In the courtyard.
"Gulp! Gulp! "
The gray wolf chewed on the Sharo meat in big mouthfuls and let out a satisfied cry.
Its front teeth were sharp, and it tore through the Sharo meat that looked like snowflakes. Its bite force was shocking. It ground its teeth and swallowed half a kilogram in an instant.
"You're not eating meat, you're eating spirit coins!"
Wu Ming was a little depressed. He waved at the gray wolf that had finished eating. "Come here! Show me your claws! "
The gray wolf's claws were furry and fleshy. There were pink pads at the bottom, and its nails were extremely sharp, emitting a cold light.
"Eat the bone-strengthening powder first! Then use a whetstone to sharpen its claws and teeth! "
There was only a small bag of bone-strengthening powder. It was like pearl fragments, fine and clean. However, after the gray wolf swallowed it, it whimpered, as if all the bones in its body were itchy.
"It's right that it's itchy! How can there be no pain when one's bones grow! "
Wu Ming grabbed a whetstone and started to sharpen the gray wolf's claws. The numbness and itchiness that had seeped into its bones were immediately alleviated, causing the gray wolf to squint its eyes and let out satisfied cries.
After its bones had grown and it had been carefully sharpened, the wolf's claws became even more slender and bright, and its sharpness was eye-catching.
"With this kind of cooperation, the gray wolf's beginner level sharp claws should be able to increase by a level after ten more times. However, these are all normal abilities, not demonic arts or battle techniques …"
Wu Ming sighed.
What he wanted to increase the gray wolf's attributes, demonic arts, and battle techniques the most.
Claws, fur, and physical strength were all abilities of wild beasts. Even if they were increased, they would only be slightly stronger than normal beasts, and would not cause a qualitative change.
For example, Wu Ming's gray wolf, no matter how much he strengthened its claws, fur, and defense, fed it Saro Meat, and increased its physical strength, it would only reach the level of a big gray wolf at the end.
[Gray Wolf] (normal species) — [Big Gray Wolf] (normal species)!
This was the evolution path of the gray wolf. If there were no accidents, it would evolve into a [Big Gray Wolf] when it reached Fighter level. After that, there would be no more. This was the limit of a normal species!
No matter how good the normal strengthening was, the gray wolf would only be able to fight a little better than other gray wolves, or evolve ahead of time. After reaching Fighter level, its strength would be slightly higher than a normal big gray wolf. Other than that, there was nothing else!
"Entering Fighter level from the infant stage is a very important threshold. Using it to evolve into a big gray wolf is too much of a waste!"
Wu Ming patted the gray wolf's forehead. "Your goal is to raise your strength to the limit of a normal species as soon as possible, then comprehend demonic arts and combat skills, increase your attributes, and strive to use the opportunity to advance to the Fighter level to evolve your race! Otherwise … I can only give up on you! Do you understand? "
"Awooo!"
Although this gray wolf's race was not good, its intelligence was not bad. It howled, showing its determination.
"Very good! As long as you have this determination, as your master, I will naturally provide you with the best conditions! "
Wu Ming came to the room and took out the other purchased materials.
"Three Star Flower, One Striped Grass, Lotus Leaf Dew … This is already the closest combination of materials in my memory …"
Wu Ming recalled the contents of the [Beast Taming Scripture].
The Ancient Beast Taming Sect started with spirit beasts. They had their own specialties in nurturing, strengthening, and even mutation.
Right now, Wu Ming wanted to make pills! Moreover, it was a pill specially made for spirit beasts! According to the scripture, this pill was not only very popular with spirit beasts, it was easy to store and carry around. Furthermore, it did not have any medicinal dregs or poison. Long-term consumption could also strengthen the body, making it the best food for spirit beasts!
