【Description】: A perfect weapon with growth attributes. Current growth level is Tier 1 (Level 100). Use 200 qi blood stones to upgrade to Tier 2.

These five special effects of the shadow dragons fang are perfect.

Armor piercing, crowd control, burst damage, attribute boosts—none of these top-tier effects are missing.

The newly forged shadow dragons fang is Tier 1, with strength equivalent to a Level 100 SSS-Rank perfect quality weapon.

The qi blood stones required for the growth of the shadow dragons fang are a rather cruel treasure.

After a player dies five times in the game, they will drop a blood-red stone; this stone is called a qi blood stone.

This means that a single qi blood stone represents a player's life!

Lin Du is no saint, nor is he a particularly good person.

He does not reject the origin of the qi blood stones; this is the necessary path to becoming stronger in the game.

The Year of Death One is approaching, and collecting qi blood stones during this period will be much easier.

...

The treasure chest has been opened, and the equipment has been forged.

Lin Du took the mythical beast voucher out of his backpack; next, it was time to redeem his first mythical beast.

However, before going, he had to wait for someone.

Without the protection of Ning Fengya, Lin Du would not dare to easily step out of the gates of the Ye Clan Merchant Guild right now.

His previous enemies were Zhao Yunsou and the Peak of the Forbidden City, and now, there is an additional Death Waltz with even stronger strength and background.

For safety's sake, it is better to play it safe!

It was just past 12 midnight, and Ning Fengya's Bodyguard time had refreshed...

About half an hour later, Ning Fengya arrived at the Ye Clan Merchant Guild, and the expression on her face was clearly somewhat dissatisfied.

It seemed as if she had been interrupted by Lin Du while doing something.

Lin Du smiled and didn't mind.

The two of them soon arrived at the largest pet beast market in Yunlong City—the Myriad Beast Pavilion!

The Myriad Beast Pavilion is one of the most frequently visited locations for players in Yunlong City.

They sell spirit beasts of all levels and ranks here, from the lowest F-Rank to the highest SSS-Rank; the Myriad Beast Pavilion has everything.

Players in universe ol do not have a fixed number of spirit beasts they can carry.

How many spirit beasts a player can carry mainly depends on the number of slots in their Spirit Beast Space.

"Spirit Beast Space" is a type of item similar to equipment, and each player can only possess one.

Different qualities of Spirit Beast Space have different numbers of slots, and the growth rate of spirit beasts inside them is also completely different...

Spirit Beast Spaces on the market are mainly divided into 1—5 slots!

Ordinary players in the game generally use 1 or 2 slots, while some financially powerful players use 3-slot Spirit Beast Spaces.

A 4-slot Spirit Beast Space is already considered top-tier on the market.

As for 5 slots, they basically never appear!

There are mainly two ways to obtain a Spirit Beast Space: one is to buy it in the pet beast market, and the other is for it to drop in dungeon secret realms...

In the Myriad Beast Pavilion.

1-slot Spirit Beast Space—500 years of 「lifespan value」

2-slot Spirit Beast Space—2000 years of 「lifespan value」

3-slot Spirit Beast Space—10,000 years of 「lifespan value」

4-slot Spirit Beast Space—100,000 years of 「lifespan value」

...

Lin Du came to the front desk and spent 500 years of 「lifespan value」 to purchase the lowest-level 1-slot Spirit Beast Space.

Ning Fengya was watching from the side, and a flash of surprise crossed her eyes.

As an owner of a Spirit Beast Space, Ning Fengya knew well the gap between low-level Spirit Beast Spaces and high-level ones...

Night Ember actually wanted to raise an SSS-Rank spirit beast in the lowest-level Spirit Beast Space?

This was simply inconceivable in Ning Fengya's view!

What a waste of a precious item!

"Night Ember... a low-level Spirit Beast Space is not suitable for an SSS-Rank spirit beast to survive in."

"If you want to preserve the spirit beast's combat power and future growth, you had better buy a high-level Spirit Beast Space!" Ning Fengya couldn't help but remind him.

Lin Du nodded with a smile.

"I know."

"Thanks for the reminder!"

After Lin Du finished speaking, he had no intention of buying a high-level Spirit Beast Space.

Seeing this, Ning Fengya couldn't help but frown.

"Are you not going to buy a high-level Spirit Beast Space?"

Lin Du revealed a mysterious smile, "High-level Spirit Beast Spaces don't need to be bought; NPCs will give them away..."

Give away?

Ning Fengya sneered in her heart with disdain.

She had been in the game for so long, and she had never heard of any NPC giving away a high-level Spirit Beast Space.

She wanted to see how Night Ember would smooth things over in the end!

Lin Du did not know what Ning Fengya was thinking at this moment; he strolled leisurely into the inner hall of the Myriad Beast Pavilion.

"Hello, sir. Is there anything I can help you with?" A staff member approached with a smile.

Lin Du took out the mythical beast voucher.

"I want to redeem a mythical beast!"

The staff member was instantly shocked upon seeing the mythical beast voucher, "Sir, please wait a moment; I will go call our boss!"

Before long, a middle-aged woman wearing a long dress and with a decent appearance walked down from upstairs.

The boss of the Myriad Beast Pavilion—Liu Qingqing!

Liu Qingqing's expression was very cold, comparable to Ning Fengya's.

Even upon seeing the mythical beast voucher in Lin Du's hand, there was not much extra emotional fluctuation on Liu Qingqing's face...

Liu Qingqing was jokingly called the coldest NPC in Yunlong City by players; no one had ever heard more than five sentences from her.

"Follow me upstairs!"

Liu Qingqing did not drag things out at all and directly led Lin Du and the other to a room in the center of the second floor.

The room was very, very large, and inside were dozens of eggs of varying sizes and colors.

These eggs ranged from as small as a fist to as large as a small hill, and each egg emitted a mysterious and ferocious aura.

In front of these eggs stood signs detailing the species and origin of the spirit beasts inside the eggs...

"These are all mythical beast eggs. You can pick whatever you want."

(Mythical beast egg = SSS-Rank spirit beast egg)
