19: Chapter 19 The Idea of Raising Spirit Beasts
"Decompose!"
A golden light flashed, and another Demon Beast Corpse was decomposed.
Fang Yuan obtained another batch of Materials, along with a cyan light orb and a red light orb.
He acted again, decomposing the Yao energy orb into a Spiritual Qi orb, then swallowed it to digest.
The Spiritual Qi within his body rose by another fraction.
Then, he tapped his finger on the cyan light orb.
[Item]: Wind-Walking Talent
[Grade]: Yellow Rank Low Grade
[Effect]: Allows one to ride the wind and increase movement speed.
This was the innate ability of a Flash-Shadow Rabbit; it could accelerate walking and jumping. This kind of Yao Beast ran exceptionally fast and was difficult to hunt, but since this one was captive, it could not escape.
"Good talent!"
Fang Yuan absorbed it directly.
Before long, he felt a distinct perception of the wind-attribute Spiritual Qi in the world, and he instinctively unleashed it.
The Spiritual Qi in his body circulated according to a special method through his Meridians, and the surrounding Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth gathered toward him. It was as if wind had sprouted beneath his feet, and his body moved rapidly within the room, even leaving behind afterimages.
"How does this feel similar to the Light-Body Technique, only even more powerful!"
Fang Yuan was surprised.
He saw that the circulation method through the Meridians was not much different from that of the Light-Body Technique, just with a few more variations.
The key was this instinctive application; there was no need to form hand seals to release it, and it did not even require using his Spiritual Sense to mobilize it—an instant cast Spell!
This was equivalent to cultivating the Light-Body Technique to the Perfection Realm!
More importantly, his instinct for sensing and absorbing wind-attribute Spiritual Qi was equivalent to possessing a Low Grade Wind Spiritual Root.
Fang Yuan sat cross-legged to absorb Spiritual Qi.
Sure enough, he sensed the wind-attribute Spiritual Qi in the world, and it also poured into the Spiritual Qi of his Cloud Qi Art.
To his surprise, with the addition of the wind attribute, his cloud-like Spiritual Qi became even more elegant and swift.
He felt that his understanding of Cloud Momentum had inexplicably improved!
"Wind and clouds following each other is a natural phenomenon of heaven and earth; after integrating wind-attribute Spiritual Qi, it is only logical that the Spiritual Qi of the Cloud Qi Art would strengthen."
After adding both wind and water attributes, the quality of his Cloud Qi Art's Spiritual Qi increased by another 20 percent!
Fang Yuan could not help but exclaim that the Dao follows nature.
Subsequently, he decomposed the Flash-Shadow Rabbit's Bloodline, obtaining a Flash-Shadow Rabbit Blood Core and a mass of Bloodline Power.
After refining the Bloodline Power, he could feel that both his Gold-Devouring Talent and Wind-Walking Talent had improved slightly.
But the improvement in his Wind-Walking Talent was more pronounced.
Fang Yuan exhaled softly and took out another Demon Beast Corpse.
This was the corpse of a Middle Stage Qi Refining Blazing Demon Wolf. The Blazing Demon Wolf could use Fire Breath and was an extremely aggressive Yao Beast that lived in groups.
If one encountered them in the wild, one would have to run immediately; if a pack of wolves used Fire Breath together, who in the same Realm could withstand it?
"Decompose!"
The corpse of the Blazing Demon Wolf was instantly divided into several parts.
He locked his gaze on that mass of Yao energy and instantly extended his finger to tap Decompose!
A golden light flashed again, and a huge Spiritual Qi orb appeared before him.
Fang Yuan swallowed it in one gulp and refined it into his own Spiritual Qi in mere minutes.
The amount of Spiritual Qi this time was quite substantial, equivalent to the Spiritual Qi of 50 Top-grade Qi-Nourishing Pills.
The Spiritual Qi in his body had even recovered to 20 percent of his original Dantian level, which was a cause for celebration.
Then, he tapped his finger on the talent.
[Item]: Fire Breath Talent
[Grade]: Yellow Rank Medium Grade
[Effect]: Allows one to release flames, absorb flames, and increases resistance to flames.
Fang Yuan absorbed it.
Afterward, he decomposed the Bloodline and absorbed a more concentrated mass of Bloodline Power.
His Physical Body immediately received an immediate boost, and its strength increased significantly.
All three newly acquired talents had certain improvements.
By this point, all three Demon Beast Corpses had been decomposed, and he had a bountiful harvest.
After the Decompose was finished, he had a realization: he must raise some Spirit Beasts.
Fang Yuan walked out of his Immortal Cave and arrived at the Treasure Hall to contribute the Yao Beast Materials.
First came the Black-Scaled Rat Materials.
When his contribution points reached 400, he still had more than half of the Yao Beast meat left in his hands.
After continuing to exchange, he earned an additional 40 contribution points.
If this were sold at market price, he could get a full 550 Spirit Stones, a net profit of 150 Spirit Stones!
Of course, selling Yao Beast Materials also had labor costs and losses, so a net profit of 100 Spirit Stones was no problem.
"It really can have a slight surplus!"
Fang Yuan felt that this was a viable venture.
He continued to sell the Yao Beast Materials from the second corpse but kept some of the Yao Beast meat.
He obtained 400 contribution points, breaking even.
Finally, he sold the Blazing Demon Wolf Materials, selling them for a total of 2600 contribution points, earning another 400 contribution points.
"This is not earning much!"
Fang Yuan shook his head; if it were someone else, they would certainly be very satisfied.
But he was an Alchemist and an Artifact Refiner; a single Medium Grade Magical Artifact was worth two thousand Spirit Stones, so going to such trouble for this...
He was satisfied just being able to break even.
Fang Yuan left the Treasure Hall and rushed to Zhanchen Peak.
"Junior Brother, are the Demon Beast Corpses not enough?" that Senior Brother who sold the Yao Beast meat asked with a smile.
"No, I want to raise some Spirit Beasts; I do not know if you can help me adopt some here," Fang Yuan said with a smile.
The Senior Brother heard this and realized, saying, "Raising Spirit Beasts! That is simple; I have Disciples here who can help sign the Spirit Beast master-servant contract. Wait, you said 'some'?"
"Yes, I want to raise a few more; it will be lively!" Fang Yuan laughed.
That Senior Brother looked at him strangely: "Spirit Beasts are not easy to raise; Senior Brother advises you to raise at most one. Otherwise... hehe, when the time comes, I can buy them back at a high price."
Fang Yuan twitched his mouth and said, "I am an Artifact Refiner and an Alchemist; raising a few Spirit Beasts is no problem at all!"
The Senior Brother was surprised this time: "That impressive? No wonder you wanted the whole corpse!"
He pondered for a moment and said, "Junior Brother, if you want Spirit Beasts, that is absolutely no problem; I will take you to sign the contracts."
He immediately put down the work of decomposing the corpse, let other Disciples take over, and took Fang Yuan toward another place.
Fang Yuan quickly followed.
Before long, the two arrived at the Beast Nursery.
From the outside, one could see that there were quite a few Spirit Beast cubs inside.
However, they all appeared to be common varieties.
The Senior Brother had a keen eye and said with a smile, "Junior Brother, our Zhanchen Peak is not one of those beast-taming Sects, so the varieties of Spirit Beasts are a bit lacking. If you want rare and precious ones, you can go to the markets outside the Sect to buy them. If you just want to buy some to raise, this place is sufficient."
"It is fine, I just want some common ones!" Fang Yuan nodded.
"Then that is no problem!"
The Senior Brother took Fang Yuan into the Beast Nursery.
"Old Zheng, someone here to buy Spirit Beast cubs!"
The Senior Brother called out toward the area.
Soon, a Cultivator walked out. He looked at the Senior Brother with surprise, then looked at Fang Yuan: "This Junior Brother, what kind of Spirit Beast cubs do you want? You can take a look and choose."
Fang Yuan asked, "How many types of Spirit Beast cubs do you have here?"
"Uh, as for here, I have a total of 12 types of Spirit Beast cubs."
Fang Yuan nodded and said, "Then I will take one of each."
