It's just numbers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From her spirit to her wallet, Qiao Sang had never felt so liberated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This must be the difference between sudden wealth and painstakingly building riches, spending money without a trace of guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's buy some potions.\" Qiao Sang suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the saying goes, spending money helps you grow. She hadn't had the chance before, but now Qiao Sang decided to experience it to the fullest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure...\" Ye Xiangting still seemed to be in a daze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Potion shops were plentiful on Wendan Street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demand for potions was high, which inevitably meant that low-quality or counterfeit potions often made their way into the market. At times like these, certification from reputable appraisers became especially important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you're going to buy, buy the best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Qiao Sang entered the Original Learning potion store, the place was quiet and nearly empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Original Learning ranked among the top five nationwide in sales, its prices were far higher than other potion brands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In essence, Original Learning was the luxury brand of potions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their target customers were primarily members of their exclusive service program. Walk-ins often left within a minute of hearing the prices, realizing they couldn't afford anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As someone entered the store, a few employees who had been chatting glanced over briefly, quickly forming a judgment:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman taking her daughter out for a casual stroll. She might buy something, but probably no more than a few thousand yuan, not worth cultivating as a long-term client.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seasoned employees remained still, while a newer hire took the initiative to approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss, what kind of potion are you looking for?\" The staff member asked with a polite smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she doubted these two would buy much, it was still necessary to ask symbolically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Casual browsers usually said, \"Just looking,\" which meant she wouldn't need to bother further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Xiangting murmured, \"Ask my daughter. She's the one buying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff member maintained her professional smile and turned to the ponytailed girl beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang thought for a moment before saying, \"Could you introduce all the potions suited for fire, psychic, ghost, water, ice, and flying-type companion beasts?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff member blinked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High expectations were better than none. In her limited experience, about 70% of casual browsers who made specific requests ended up buying something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With renewed enthusiasm, she led them to the central glass display case and pointed to a red potion inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the Swift Flame Potion. It enhances a companion beast's ability to absorb fire-elemental energy. This bottle is rated Grade B and has a mild effect, making it ideal for fire-type beasts below General rank.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then gestured to a nearby transparent potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And this is the Breakthrough Elixir. After consuming it, a companion beast enters a simulated breakthrough experience, aiding its evolution. It’s highly effective for beasts below Royal rank. This bottle is also rated Grade B.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Continuing her introductions, she pointed to another potion:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Nine-Ice Potion is a newly developed product perfect for ice-type beasts. With this potion, an ice-type companion beast can unleash significantly more powerful skills compared to others of the same level and skill proficiency.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the staff member tapped and swiped on the glass above the Nine-Ice Potion, bringing up a video display.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The footage showed two ice-type companion beasts, both appearing nearly identical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A well-dressed woman in her thirties introduced them:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These two Ice Fenmoths were carefully selected for identical size, age, and skills. The only difference is that the one on the left has consumed our Nine-Ice Potion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The camera focused on the left Fenmoth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fenmoth!\" It chirped, confirming the claim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s demonstrate the difference between their ice-based skills, assuming equal proficiency.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a signal, both Fenmoths flapped their wings and released Frost Wind at each other. The left Fenmoth's attack was noticeably stronger, freezing half of its opponent's wing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See the difference?\" The woman returned to the camera, brimming with enthusiasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the power of the Nine-Ice Potion! Both Fenmoths had moderate skill proficiency, yet the difference in impact is staggering!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With just nine bottles, your ice-type companion beast can become a king among its kind!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the unparalleled effectiveness of the Nine-Ice Potion!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The video concluded, and the display case returned to its original state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang stared at it for a long time without saying anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff member, assuming the part about needing nine bottles had given her pause, offered reassurance:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although nine bottles are ideal, you can purchase them one at a time. They’re meant to be taken weekly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After her lengthy explanation, the staff member noticed the girl still hadn’t responded. She began to suspect this might be one of those 30% of browsers who made requests but didn’t buy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was preparing to pivot to cheaper options, the girl asked, \"Do all your potions have introductory videos like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff member blinked, then nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, every single one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang thought for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then pack up all the potions suitable for fire, psychic, ghost, water, ice, and flying-type companion beasts rated S-grade or higher. Also, include a copy of each potion's introductory video.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The store was quiet enough for every staff member to hear her words clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff member assisting them was completely stunned, as though a wild dragon-type companion beast had suddenly appeared and offered to contract with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In disbelief, she glanced at the silent woman accompanying the girl.Surely, the adult was in charge of such a decision?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Xiangting, remembering scenes from the over-the-top dramas of her youth, replied coolly, \"Since my daughter says so, pack it all up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff: !!!\u003C\u002Fp>",962,"2026-06-06T02:23:08.563Z",1,"novelbin.me","b752082a21c69bbc65dcfe856c9ab3567ef7fab401b07a9fab16cbfdc22de83d","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-359","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-357",1023,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-starting-from-zero-cover.jpg"]
