Golden Rich Koi
A metal-element carp underwater, interesting. I wonder if it's difficult to find metal underwater.
After seeing the information on this carp, Luo Chen and Luo Yuheng both showed no unusual expressions.
Luo Yuheng asked nonchalantly, "I haven't seen this Beast before. Have you had a Breeder appraise it?"
The resolute-faced woman hesitated before answering, "I haven't yet. I just came out of a secret realm and obtained this Beast with great difficulty. What's your offer? If it's suitable, I won't ask anyone else."
It hadn't been appraised, so Luo Yuheng had a rough idea.
"The energy intensity inside this Beast is about Fierce Beast Seven or Eight-Star. The general price for a Beast like this is around one hundred thousand spirit coins.
Because of its excellent appearance, some wealthy families might want to buy it as a home decoration, so I'll add an extra twenty thousand spirit coins.
Finally, because this Beast is quite rare, I'll add another ten thousand spirit coins. A total of one hundred thirty thousand spirit coins, what do you say?"
Actually, Luo Yuheng hadn't mentioned one thing: a pure sea beast isn't as popular in an inland city like Qingyang City, and its price often gets a slight discount.
However, given that this [Golden Rich Koi] is a King Beast Breed, Luo Yuheng didn't bring that up.
The woman's eyes brightened when she heard Luo Yuheng's offer. She hadn't expected that a carp she casually fished out of a small puddle in a secret realm could sell for such a high price.
She herself was someone who disliked trouble, and since someone had already offered a price far exceeding her expectations, she had no intention of holding out for more.
"Alright, let's go with the price you mentioned."
Seeing that the woman didn't go to inquire at other stalls, Luo Chen and Luo Yuheng both unconsciously let out a quiet sigh of relief.
Although there might not be two Breeders with the Eye of Truth talent in this market, what if the woman happened to meet another one? It might have been sold to someone else.
After paying the spirit coins, the resolute-faced woman gave the basin containing the [Golden Rich Koi] to Luo Yuheng and his son.
Perhaps due to the narrow space in the basin and insufficient oxygen, the [Golden Rich Koi] was listless in the basin, not paying much attention to its current situation.
Luo Yuheng reached his palm into the water and stroked its head. A few weak Water Arrows hit Luo Yuheng's hand, causing no damage at all.
After opening for business, many small hunting teams also brought injured or disabled Beasts to the stall to inquire about prices.
For some Beasts that weren't severely injured, Luo Chen offered prices based on the situation and bought several when both parties found it suitable.
However, later there were too many duplicate Types of Beasts, so Luo Chen had to decline the acquisition of some overly common Beasts.
For example, among Fierce Beasts, there were [Frost Wolf], [Lightning Rat], [Hunting Hound], and the like.
Among Spirit Beasts, there were [Bone-Spike Spirit Tiger], [Wind-Chasing Spirit Swallow], [Earth-Drilling Rock Snake], etc.
King Beasts, uh, no matter how trashy a King Beast was, it wouldn't be sold at a street stall like this.
The large-scale acquisition of Beasts also satisfied some of Luo Chen's small personal desires. It wasn't easy to come to such a rich and colorful Beast world.
He set a small goal for himself: to try and raise at least one of every Type of Beast he had seen. To satisfy his hobby as a collector.
Being able to witness all kinds of Beasts in his secret realm, both common and rare, just thinking about it made him happy.
By evening, Luo Chen and Luo Yuheng's Beast-holding bracelets were almost full. Unbeknownst to them, they had already acquired over a hundred Beasts, spending nearly ten million spirit coins.
People in the market were already packing up their stalls and leaving one after another. Luo Yuheng saw that it was getting late, so he and Luo Chen put away their sign and prepared to return to the city.
Just then, a young man called out to them, "Sirs, please wait a moment. I have a Beast egg here. Could I take up a bit of your time to look at it?"
Luo Yuheng stopped what he was doing and looked at the young man who spoke.
The young man was very thin and dressed very simply, but his back was very straight, exuding a special kind of vigor.
"Alright, bring it out and let me see."
The young man carefully took out a smooth, rounded, grayish-white egg from the backpack behind him.
He carefully placed the egg on the stall, indicating that Luo Yuheng could examine it.
It was really difficult to determine what kind of Beast it was just by looking at the egg, because there were too many Types of Beasts in this world, and many Beast eggs looked extremely similar, making it impossible to analyze from the appearance alone.
race: Thousand Tribulation Beast
Rank: ???
Type: ???
State: Hatching
Aptitude: ???
Skill: ???
It was in the same State as when he observed the [Moonstar Spirit] last time, full of question marks except for the name.
There was no way to know more information, but the name also showed its unusual nature.
Luo Yuheng glanced at the young man, who was looking at the grayish-white egg with worry. "You care so much about this egg, so it must be of extraordinary significance to you. Why do you want to sell it?"
A bitter smile appeared at the corner of the young man's mouth. "This egg was left to me by my mother, but I am incompetent. I haven't been able to hatch it for over ten years. Now my first Beast is injured.
It urgently needs spirit coins for treatment, so I have no other choice but to sell this unhatchable egg."
Luo Chen reached out and touched the egg all over, making the young man fear he might accidentally damage it.
Luo Chen was very interested in this egg. [Thousand Tribulation Beast], just by its name, sounded extraordinary. Luo Yang hadn't yet contracted his second Beast, so if it hatched, it would be perfect for him.
"How about three hundred thousand spirit coins?"
Luo Chen offered a price he considered quite suitable. After all, no matter how good the name sounded, it was currently just an egg, and he didn't know what conditions were needed to hatch it.
If it hatched and turned out to be all bark and no bite, he would be the one to lose out.
The young man looked a bit embarrassed. "I wonder if you could add a little more? My first Beast needs four hundred thousand spirit coins for treatment."
Four hundred thousand spirit coins wasn't an exorbitant amount, and Luo Chen thought buying this egg was acceptable. He was about to agree.
Luo Yuheng spoke first, "May I see the injuries of your first Beast?"
The young man hesitated, but he had been observing Luo Yuheng and his son for some time, so he believed that the father and son should not have any ill intentions. Thus, he summoned his first Beast.
A human-sized bat suddenly appeared before the two of them, and Luo Chen was startled by the sudden shadow.
The entirely black bat looked slightly ominous, and its physique was quite slender.
However, what was unbearable to look at was a wound that ran across its left wing, as if something had tried to tear off its entire wing earlier.
For some reason, Luo Chen suddenly remembered a [Fine Steel Butterfly] he had rescued before; their injuries were too similar.
Even after being summoned, this bat remained quietly on the ground, its aura weak.
