116: Dawn Light Bird
As soon as Zhang Zheng entered the Chenyang Pet Store, he scanned the entire place, then quickly glanced over the other Spirit Beasts that people were fawning over.
He only stopped when he spotted the deep dark blue Ghost Hair Rune Grass, its branches and leaves covered in mysterious runes.
There were three Ghost Hair Rune Grass plants displayed side by side here; the first had only Good Aptitude and was at Spirit Beast Two-star State, priced at 850,000 spirit coins.
The latter two both had Excellent Aptitude, but the one in the middle was at Spirit Beast Five-star realm, while the other was at Spirit Beast Three-star Rank.
The former was priced at 1,450,000 spirit coins, and the latter at 1,300,000 spirit coins.
Looking at his personal savings, Zhang Zheng immediately felt that he couldn't even buy one of them, let alone all three.
In an instant, he gave up on the decision to buy all three and set his target on the one in the very middle, entering a price of 1,450,000.
He absolutely hated this three-day bidding purchase method, because he had entered the moment the store opened.
If it were according to the previous purchase method, he would definitely have been able to take this Ghost Hair Rune Grass home.
But now he still had to endure three agonizing days, only hoping that others' interest in this Ghost Hair Rune Grass would be less.
However, a moment's thought revealed this was impossible, as Spirit Beasts with Curse Skills were also very rare and would surely attract many people's interest.
He only hoped now that the price wouldn't be too outrageous, and that he could manage to purchase one of these three.
But things didn't go as he wished; after he entered his bid, the prices in front of the three Ghost Hair Rune Grass cages rapidly flickered.
1,470,000 spirit coins, 1,500,000 spirit coins.
Does it have to be this ridiculous? This is just a Spirit Beast! Wouldn't it be better to save this money and accumulate more to buy a King Beast?
Glancing at his personal savings, Zhang Zheng felt it was very necessary to seek external help, so he hastily logged off from the Illusion World.
There was no rush for the bidding; there were still three days to bid, and the most important thing currently was to raise money.
As the head of the Zhang Family, his father's personal savings should be able to support him in purchasing one of the Ghost Hair Rune Grass to serve as his second Spirit Beast.
...
Wei Yansheng also entered the store. He looked at the Chenyang Pet Store in the Illusion World, his eyes filled with nostalgia.
He recalled that when he first went to Chenyang Pet Store, it was merely with the idea of trying his luck.
Who knew that day, he not only purchased a mystic spirit grass that could completely serve as an item for the Qingyun Rare Item Auction,
but later, the store owner also entrusted him with an auction item, which was the Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbit that served as the finale, completely overshadowing the final King Beast.
And it attracted fierce competition from the three major families from Liuguang City. It was also after that incident that his position in Liang Corporation rose steadily.
He had now been transferred to Liuguang City, working under Liang Jingsi.
However, thinking of the Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbit, he also thought of the Fierce Beast Seven-star Fragrant Rabbit that accompanied his daughter at home.
Although many people could already guess that the Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbit evolved from the Fragrant Rabbit,
how it evolved, what materials were needed, and the most difficult part—how to cultivate the Fragrant Rabbit to the Fierce Beast Nine-star realm—other Breeders truly had no clue.
Because Luo Chen had not applied for patents for the Spirit Beasts that had not evolved in public, they naturally had no clue.
After Wei Yansheng finished reminiscing, he looked at the high prices of these Spirit Beasts and sighed quietly. Although his current salary was much higher,
he still couldn't afford to buy these Spirit Beasts that cost millions of spirit coins, so he could only show his support.
...
Official Liu Chengyu entered the Illusion World with his granddaughter, Liu Qingyu, as he had long promised her that he would carefully choose her second Spirit Beast.
Although he was a Breeder, his talent was limited, and he hadn't cultivated any powerful or distinctive Spirit Beasts.
It was only after Elder Zhuang publicly revealed many Evolution Paths of Spirit Beasts that his Breeder Rank significantly improved, having just reached Stellar Four-star Breeder a while ago.
The Chenyang Pet Store, after all, was opened by the champion of Qingyang City's Youth Beast Tamer Competition, and he was even the invigilator for Luo Chen's Breeder assessment.
He never expected that Luo Chen's Breeder realm had already surpassed his own.
Seeing the various Spirit Beasts he had never seen before in the store, Official Liu Chengyu's eyes were filled with wonder. He softly said to Liu Qingyu, who was curiously looking around beside him:
"Take a close look and see if there's anything you like. The various attributes of the Spirit Beasts here are all very good; any one of them is much better than what you can buy outside."
Liu Qingyu walked to the cage of the Xi Guang Ling Sparrow and said with some surprise, "Isn't this the Xi Guang Ling Sparrow that only the Yu Family of Qianniao City can evolve?"
Liu Qingyu was likely interested in beautiful bird-Type Spirit Beasts. Ever since information became interconnected across the entire Hua Nation, she had looked up many famous bird-Type Spirit Beasts in Hua Nation.
Clearly, the Xi Guang Ling Sparrow was one of the more famous ones among them.
However, she never expected that the Xi Guang Ling Sparrow, known as exclusive to the Yu Family of Qianniao City, would one day be encountered in their Qingyang City.
"race: Xi Guang Ling Sparrow
Rank: Spirit Beast Six-star
Type: Light-Type · Sunlight
State: Relaxed and leisurely
Aptitude: Excellent
Skills: 1. Xi Guang (Profound-grade): Xi Guang is also known as the Light of Hope, the first ray of light that breaks through dawn. It can dispel some negative States (dizziness, weakness, etc.) on the target.
2. Morning Sun (Profound-grade): The rising sun. The Xi Guang Ling Sparrow itself simulates the light of the nascent sun, illuminating its surroundings, having a great restraining effect on shadow Skills, and enhancing some light-Type Skills.
3. Light Feather (Earth-grade): Light feathers condensed from light-Type energy. When fully unleashed, they can form large patches of feathers falling in the target area, continuously attacking the target.
4. Light of Revival (Profound-grade): Targets enveloped by this light can recover from external injuries sustained on their bodies.
5. Spirit of Light (Earth-grade): The Xi Guang Ling Sparrow consumes its own energy to condense a Spirit of Light, attacking the target until the energy of the Spirit of Light itself is exhausted."
Even though Liu Qingyu knew that the Xi Guang Ling Sparrow was a Spirit Beast of the Yu Family of Qianniao City, she wasn't really very clear about the detailed information of the Xi Guang Ling Sparrow.
Now that she checked, it truly lived up to its reputation. This Type of Spirit Beast is actually more inclined towards an offensive role, with a certain degree of auxiliary ability.
It can eliminate some negative States, and both Earth-grade Skills appear to be very powerful offensive Skills.
Unfortunately, Liu Qingyu did not know that this Xi Guang Ling Sparrow was much more excellent than those sold by the Yu Family of Qianniao City; after all, not every Xi Guang Ling Sparrow can possess two Earth-grade Skills.
"Grandpa, I want this Xi Guang Ling Sparrow."
Liu Qingyu tugged at Official Liu Chengyu's sleeve, signaling him, who was watching the Thousand-Eyed Butterfly, to turn his gaze to the Xi Guang Ling Sparrow.
"Alright, my dear granddaughter, you want this Xi Guang Ling Sparrow, right? Let Grandpa see how much it costs."
1,500,000 spirit coins. Official Liu Chengyu's expression twitched uncomfortably.
However, he always adhered to the principle of keeping his word, so he endured the heartache and entered 1,510,000 spirit coins.
But this price was still worth it here, because a Xi Guang Ling Sparrow from Qianniao City with only one Earth-grade Skill would sell for roughly this price.
However, bidding naturally wouldn't end quickly. The price in front of the Xi Guang Ling Sparrow's cage quickly flickered upwards again, reaching 1,550,000 spirit coins.
Official Liu Chengyu raised the bid again to 1,555,000 spirit coins, but the numbers on the price panel quickly flickered again, reaching 1,665,000 spirit coins.
However, that 'opponent,' whoever it was, seemed to be mocking and provoking Official Liu Chengyu: you add five thousand, and I'll add fifty thousand.
Official Liu Chengyu's unyielding nature was also provoked. He decided he would take out his entire life savings today and wouldn't believe he couldn't buy this Spirit Beast.
As the more clear-headed Liu Qingyu, she knew that there was still plenty of time until the bidding ended, and there was no need to get so carried away now.
She gently pulled Official Liu Chengyu's sleeve, "Grandpa, it's still early. There's no need to bid so wildly now."
But the old man's stubbornness also flared up. He shook off Liu Qingyu's preventing hand and said angrily,
"I, this old man, have never been so provoked since becoming a Breeder! Can it be that my savings as a Breeder aren't enough to buy this one Spirit Beast?"
Liu Qingyu silently withdrew her hands. When her grandfather was getting carried away, she decided it was best not to persuade him further, or she would bring trouble upon herself.
However, since she was the ultimate beneficiary, when her father asked, she could say that she had tried to persuade him, but her grandfather simply wouldn't listen.
Opening the screen recording she had just made, and seeing her perfect performance, Liu Qingyu nodded silently.
Watching the old man enthusiastically bidding there, she felt relieved and went to check out other Spirit Beasts.
