76: In-store turmoil

On the third day after the auction, which was November 23rd, the number of Contract Masters in Heyu Town increased significantly.

Although they were dressed differently, they all had one destination: the newly opened Medicine Beast Shop next to the Medicine Heart Hall.

The Medicine Beast Shop changed from its desolate state of the previous two days, as many Contract Masters went in and out, creating a bustling and lively scene.

Chu Qinhui stood behind the counter; although there were many people, he was not very busy.

There were six types of Source Beasts for sale in the shop: "Moon Worshipping Rabbit," "Medicinal Fragrance Powder-Eared Rabbit," "Multi-Eyed Poisonous Insect," "Flying Fur Rabbit," "Green Leaf Giant Insect," and "Leaf Wing Insect."

Most people gathered in front of the "Moon Worshipping Rabbit" and the "Medicinal Fragrance Powder-Eared Rabbit."

Although they were very tempted by the skills of these two Source Beasts, they were discouraged by the marked prices.

"Moon Worshipping Rabbit": 20,000 Origin Rune Stones / 200 Source Spirit Stone.

"Medicinal Fragrance Powder-Eared Rabbit": 10,000 Origin Rune Stones / 100 Source Spirit Stone.

Seeing these prices, the Contract Masters gathered around the cages were truly speechless; these prices were almost the same as the auction prices.

Or perhaps this shop had set the prices based on the auction results.

"Shopkeeper, these are just two Different Rank Species Source Beasts. Isn't your asking price a bit too high?"

"Even if they appeared at the auction, they aren't worth it. Everyone knows that auction prices are generally inflated."

"Exactly, exactly! At this price, who in town could afford to buy them?"

Facing so many voices of doubt, Chu Qinhui, standing behind the counter, did not panic. He smiled slightly, "We set this price because these two Source Beasts are worth it."

"If you are short on funds, you can take a look at the other Source Beasts. Their prices are slightly lower, but our Medicine Beast Shop guarantees that they are absolutely worth more than what you pay."

Upon hearing his words, some Contract Masters cast skeptical glances at the other Source Beasts.

"Aren't these two Source Beasts just a gimmick, a method for your shop to attract traffic?" However, a cold voice still rang out.

Chu Qinhui looked up and saw an old man wearing a wide robe with a gaunt face, with a centipede quietly crawling on his shoulder.

"How could it be a gimmick? The Moon Worshipping Rabbit and the Medicinal Fragrance Powder-Eared Rabbit are inherently difficult to evolve. The Materials alone consume a huge amount, and the conditions are harsh. Once these two in the shop are sold, there is no telling when they will appear in the shop again. We are running a business; you can't expect us to do business at a loss."

"You crazy old man, even if they were half price, you couldn't afford them. What are you shouting about here?" An abrupt voice interjected.

Wearing a tall hat, with his left arm and shoulder exposed, and dressed in fox fur clothing, Chu Qinhui instantly remembered that this was the weirdo he had met when he first went to the Treasure Pavilion, whom others called Huang Daxian.

At this moment, a mouse head poked out from Huang Daxian's hat, looking around sneakily.

The old man, called the crazy old man, narrowed his eyes and looked at Huang Daxian, "You weird old man, do you want to have a fight with me?"

As he said this, the centipede-like Source Beast on his shoulder slightly raised its body, and wisps of mist drifted out from the edges of its body, as if it were about to use a skill to attack in the next moment.

"Tch, you think I'm afraid of you? It'd be just right to kill you and inherit your family's estate." Huang Daxian twisted his neck twice, a sinister smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

Seeing that the two Uncommon Rank Contract Masters were about to make a move, the others silently retreated to the sides of the shop, and many shield-type skills glowing with different lights unfolded by their sides.

The "Ginseng Baby" appeared above Chu Qinhui's head, its two small fists clenched tightly, waving them at the two people in front from time to time, looking as if it wished it could go up and punch each of them.

"Da, da, da."

In the shop that had suddenly fallen silent, a clear sound of footsteps came from outside the door.

A Source Beast with sheep horns, but with a face and body like some kind of long-haired cat, slowly walked in from outside the door.

It was two meters long and about 1.5 meters tall, with a pure white body. Its eyes were clear and revealed a kind of wisdom, and the fur on both sides of its head slowly fell to its chest when it sat down.

"Xi Ming Pure Soul Beast."

The people in the shop did not recognize it, but Chu Qinhui knew that this Source Beast was Sun Chunchen's contracted beast, a Spirit Rank Source Beast.

It walked two steps into the shop, and as its toes gently tapped the ground, a layer of white light like ripples instantly spread across the floor.

As if they had been purified, everyone's heart became peaceful, but at the same time, there was a feeling of being watched and bound by a gaze that had descended upon them.

It was as if any presumptuous action would result in punishment from some unknown existence.

Silently, all the Source Beasts and Contract Masters in the entire shop were subjected to a kind of suppression from a higher level of life.

The "Xi Ming Pure Soul Beast"'s gaze lingered on Huang Daxian and that crazy old man for a moment, as if issuing some kind of warning, before it came behind the counter, unceremoniously squeezed Chu Qinhui away from the chair, and then curled up in it leisurely.

Having received the warning, the two old men glared at each other silently, then tacitly averted their gazes and turned around. Even if they were still dissatisfied, they dared not cause any more conflict on the territory of a Spirit Rank Source Beast.

Huang Daxian walked to the cage of the "Multi-Eyed Poisonous Insect" and said to a somewhat nervous maid not far away, "I want two of these."

Hearing his words, the maid was slightly stunned, then hurriedly walked to the cage, carefully took out two "Multi-Eyed Poisonous Insects," placed them in a special small cage, and handed it to Huang Daxian.

Huang Daxian glared at the crazy old man again, then walked to the counter with a somewhat haughty air, "I want these two."

Finally, business had started. Chu Qinhui sighed in his heart, then said crisply, "Two thousand Origin Rune Stones for one, four thousand Origin Rune Stones for two."

Huang Daxian touched the brocade bag at his waist, and then forty bright little stones appeared on the counter.

Chu Qinhui smiled, put away these Source Spirit Stone, and said, "Take care, customer."

As the first customer to purchase a Source Beast, Huang Daxian walked out of the shop safely under the gaze of everyone in the shop.

Because a Spirit Beast was holding the fort, even if there were voices of conversation and inquiry, they were kept extremely low, for fear of provoking the "Xi Ming Pure Soul Beast," so the entire shop appeared very quiet.

When they cast their gaze on the other Source Beasts for sale in the shop, these Contract Masters realized that the prices of the other Source Beasts had indeed returned to normal, and compared to the Source Beasts in the Treasure Pavilion, they had a very high cost-performance ratio, just like that "Flying Fur Rabbit," which was also a rabbit-type Source Beast.
