Inside the storeroom.
After a night, Wu Ming looked at the Phantom Eggs that had been carefully selected in a row in front of him, and his face was full of joy.
"More than 2,000 Phantom Eggs … 1,900 of them are harmless Phantom Eggs. They're all useless. If I sell them, I'll ruin my reputation …
"Among the remaining 187 Phantom Eggs, there are more than 150 Normal Phantom Eggs. Although most of them are like the mangy dog, there will always be Spirit Controllers who are interested in them!
"Finally, the real harvest … 32 Elite Phantom Eggs and one Outstanding Phantom Egg!"
Wu Ming looked at the biggest harvest.
This Phantom Egg was oval and looked like an ostrich egg. It looked gray and inconspicuous. There was not even a trace of vitality in it. The most outrageous thing was that there was a crack on the eggshell!
Even an ordinary Spirit Controller knew that such an egg was very likely to be a dead egg. Even if it was successfully hatched, it might have some natural defects.
How could such an egg be mixed into the trading goods? It was enough to show how arrogant the profiteer was!
However, this was also the common method of all profiteers.
Just like Wu Ming, he could sell the dead egg of the previous Spiritual Flame Twin-Headed Hound. Anyway, on the surface, the Fantasy Spirit egg's vitality was very good, and it was really a Spiritual Flame Twin-Headed Hound! Even if it died later, it could only be attributed to bad luck, and the store could not be blamed.
However, under Wu Ming's Spiritual Eye, he saw that this ostrich egg-like Phantom Egg was surrounded by a circle of rich yellow light. It contained vitality and exuded an aura that surpassed all the other Phantom Eggs.
[Earth Dragon]
[Race Level: Outstanding Breed (Yellow)]
[Attribute: Dragon]
[Status: Embryonic]
[Vitality: Strong]
"It's actually a subspecies of dragon!"
Wu Ming was a little surprised. In the world of living beings, dragon Phantom Spirits, especially beast-type Phantom Spirits, were almost synonymous with the pinnacle.
Any Phantom Spirit with the word "dragon" in its name must be extremely powerful. It had an amazing foundation and a bright future. It might even be as powerful as an Outstanding Breed.
"Unfortunately … I don't have the time to cultivate it anymore …"
The illusionary spirit of an outstanding breed had barely met the minimum requirements of Wu Ming's selection. Unfortunately, this land dragon was still an egg!
How much effort would it take to hatch them and nurture them from the infant stage to the Fighter Soldier stage?
If it was a creature that could advance to the Monarch Tier or King Tier in the future, Wu Ming might have accepted it. However, the Earth Dragon clearly did not reach this standard.
In fact, if an ordinary Soldier Level Spirit Controller encountered such a phantom, he would not hesitate to form a contract with it.
However, Wu Ming was too ambitious, and he already had a plan for his second phantom.
The value of this Earth Dragon egg was only that it could be exchanged for a bit more spirit coins or a favor.
With that thought, Wu Ming called Dongmen Fu and Ximen Qin over. "Take out these ten Mangy Skin Dog Eggs, two Iron Claw Wolf Eggs, and one Goose Wing Wolf Egg. Mark them as for sale!"
"This … this …"
Dongmen Fu and Ximen Qin opened their mouths wide. "House Master … you've already appraised them?"
"Yes … The Great Oriental Family is famous for controlling wolves, and I've done some research on wolf-type phantom eggs …"
Wu Ming smiled 'proudly'.
This was a perfect excuse that he had come up with on purpose.
"House Master, you have amazing discerning eyes!"
Dongmen Fu and Ximen Qin immediately believed him. They happily placed the phantom eggs on the counter and marked them. "With this, we can make a name for ourselves! We can even withdraw some of our funds! "
"It's a pity … this Goose Wing Wolf is also a small premium. It's enough for an auction …"
Ximen Qin had a look of pity on his face.
Ignoring them, Wu Ming went straight back to the storehouse, took out several Elite phantom eggs, and swaggered out.
He was now the house master of the Imperial Wind House!
How could it be called poaching when one of their own was poaching?
"The Elite phantom eggs are only to make the Imperial Wind House famous. I don't know when I'll be able to sell them … Moreover, the real bomb will only be released in the future!"
He walked all the way to a corner, changed into a cloak, and covered his face. Then, he came to the end of the street and immediately saw a large and majestic shop. There were two guards at the door, and they were both Spirit Masters!
The Imperial Wind House could never compare to this extravagance. In front of the shop were the three words "Hundred Spirit Garden", which were embossed in gold.
"What phantom would you like to purchase, sir?"
As soon as he entered the Hundred Spirit Garden, Wu Ming felt a wave of warmth wash over him.
Opposite him, a maidservant wearing only a thin veil had a smile on her face, making one feel as if they were bathing in a spring breeze. Her service was also extremely good.
Wu Ming glanced around and saw that the hall was vast and majestic, and there were even several branches.
Behind the first passage was a beast pen, where various phantom cubs were locked in iron cages. They were astonishingly wild.
Another passage had a rich elemental aura and a powerful seal light. That was where the Elemental Phantom Spirits were.
The last passage led to the incubation room, where there were phantom eggs that had already been appraised. They even provided specialized feeding services.
Around the hall, there were translucent counters that sold all sorts of phantom food.
There were piles of Saro Meat, Star Grass, and Stalactite Milk sold by the kilogram. It was extremely lively.
"In terms of professional services, the Hundred Spirit Garden far surpasses the Imperial Wind House …"
Wu Ming shook his head in his heart and said directly, "I'm here to sell a few phantom eggs. Of course, I might also buy some!"
"Alright, please go to the second floor. We have specialized appraisers to serve you!"
The maidservant smiled sweetly and brought Wu Ming to a small private room on the second floor. She bowed and said, "Sir, have you appraised the phantom eggs?"
"Of course!"
"If so, and the appraisal results are the same, the Hundred Spirit Garden will not charge any fees. Otherwise, please pay the appraiser's fee, which ranges from hundreds of spirit coins to thousands of spirit coins …"
Appraising phantom eggs was naturally a very tiring job. Not every appraiser was as skilled as Wu Ming.
The manpower needed to appraise the phantom eggs in the warehouse was even more than all the appraisers in Boulder City combined. Even if they worked together, it would still take a very long time, and the cost was even more shocking.
Wu Ming walked into the private room and immediately sensed the two auras next door. They were soldier-level spirit controllers.
He knew that this was a necessary security and protective measure. If he deliberately took out a few harmless or ordinary phantom eggs to fool around, they would immediately throw him out.
The phantom eggs that were traded in the Hundred Spirit Garden were naturally elite-type and above.
"Of course … even the Hundred Spirit Garden only has a few outstanding species, which can even be called the ultimate treasure of the shop …"
Wu Ming sat down leisurely and took a sip of the tea that the maid served him.
His calm demeanor surprised the maidservant. She had seen many Spirit Controllers before, and they were either uneasy or had evil intentions. How could they be so confident?
After two cups of tea, the small door of the private room opened. An old man with a white beard, wearing a brocade robe, and several star patterns on his chest walked in. His face was serious and meticulous. He cupped his hands toward Wu Ming. "I'm the appraiser of this shop – Qin Zhongjie. How should I address you, friend?"
"Nameless!"
Wu Ming said concisely. He placed the three phantom eggs on the mahogany table in front of him. "One is a Lagu Beast, one is a Wind Dragonfly, and one is a Twin-headed Spiritual Fire Hound. Take a look!"
"Twin-headed Spiritual Fire Hound?!"
Qin Zhongjie was shocked, but he didn't act immediately. Instead, he sat down and took a deep breath. Then, he put on a pair of pure white gloves and opened a small box he carried with him. He took out tools that looked like magnifying glasses, tweezers, and silver needles.
Wu Ming looked at Qin Zhongjie, who was sweating profusely and fiddling with all kinds of martial arts appraisal skills.
He could appraise these phantom eggs with just one glance. If he were to carefully prepare and verify them like this, he might not be able to finish inspecting the warehouse even after two years.
"It's indeed a Twin-headed Spiritual Fire Hound!"
After a long while, Qin Zhongjie put down the spectacles and rubbed his right eye. "Also … the egg membrane is well-preserved, and it's full of spirituality. It's a top-grade egg!"
"Top-grade?!"
Wu Ming was speechless.
Ever since he found out that Dongfang Lvye's phantom eggs came from the Hundred Spirit Garden, he took out this dead egg and was ready to give it back.
However, he was still speechless when he saw this appraiser describe a dead egg as a top-grade egg with a straight face.
"This appraiser's skills are really not up to par … But it's understandable that he doesn't have my Observing Eye … Although the core of this phantom egg has lost its vitality, it looks pretty good on the surface. It's like the final radiance of a setting sun!"
"What's the price?"
With the thought of cheating him, Wu Ming asked directly with wild joy in his voice.
"8,000 spirit coins for a Lagu beast! 15,000 spirit coins for a Wind Dragonfly … As for this Twin-headed Spiritual Fire Hound? "
Qin Zhongjie pondered for a moment. "50,000 spirit coins. I can guarantee that no one in the entire Boulder City will pay a higher price than this!"
All businessmen were sly!
Of course, Wu Ming didn't believe his nonsense. He released a trace of Soldier-level aura. "This Twin-headed Spiritual Fire Hound isn't just a top-grade fire-attribute item, it's also the favorite of group spirit masters. If I didn't need money urgently, I would've contracted it long ago …"
"Soldier-level …"
Qin Zhongjie's eyes flickered, and the obscure thoughts in his mind dissipated. With a bitter smile, he said, "Mr. Nameless, this is really the store's limit …"
…
After a long time, Wu Ming walked out of the Hundred Spirit Garden with a crystal card that represented 100,000 spirit coins in his arms!
"It really is a Twin-headed Spiritual Fire Hound!"
In the Hundred Spirit Garden, Qin Zhongjie held the phantom egg as if he was looking at a rare treasure.
"After hearing that a genius appeared in the Dongfang family, the big families in the city couldn't sit still anymore. The attribute of this Twin-headed Spiritual Fire Hound is secondary. The key is that it can command a large number of mangy dogs. It's a strategic-level phantom and rarely appears in the market. It won't be a problem to sell it for 100,000 spirit coins!"
A hidden door opened, and a manager walked out with a greedy look on his face. "Should we chase after it …"
"That person is also a Soldier-level, and he's in the city …"
Qin Zhongjie narrowed his eyes and waved his hand.
