Chapter 136: Exotic Beast Egg (First update, requesting everything)

According to common sense, the identified and unidentified areas should encompass all the Fairy Eggs, so there shouldn't be any omissions. Why would this shop have a third and fourth floor, and what types of Fairy Eggs do they contain?

Everything is unknown!

With a curious mindset, Li Zhangsheng arrived at the third floor.

Compared to the previous two floors, the third floor was not only uncrowded but appeared exceptionally spacious. In the large room, there were only a few sparse shelves, and the Fairy Eggs on them were not even fully stocked.

Li Zhangsheng walked up to a shelf and immediately looked at the labels; every Fairy Egg had a label attached to it.

Multi-patterned Yao Fish!

Flowing Ochre!

Tiger Jiao!

……

"These are... Exotic Beast Sprite Eggs!" Upon seeing their names, Li Zhangsheng could not help but reveal an expression of surprise.

Among all Spirit Beasts, the highest status naturally belongs to Divine Beasts, followed by Quasi-Gods whose combat power is no less than some Divine Beasts, then Exotic Beasts, and finally those ordinary Spirit Beasts.

Whether they are Divine Beasts, Quasi-Gods, or Exotic Beasts, they are naturally miraculous and gifted, possessing incredible power. Regardless of their grade, as long as they reach adulthood, they can attain the corresponding realm.

In other words, before reaching the corresponding realm, they have no bottlenecks. Even the worst Exotic Beast can reach the level of an Upper Rank Spirit Beast upon adulthood. Slightly better Exotic Beasts can become Elite level upon adulthood, and the best Exotic Beasts can become Leader or even Lord level Spirit Beasts upon adulthood. For example, dragons; as long as they reach adulthood, even the White Dragon, known as the 'Dragon Clan Shame', can become a Lord level Spirit Beast.

Additionally, compared to ordinary Spirit Beasts, Exotic Beasts also possess certain advantages in grade. Perhaps due to their special Bloodline, the worst of them possess at least Medium Grade quality and even possess some relatively special abilities.

Li Zhangsheng observed carefully; there were dozens of Exotic Beast Sprite Eggs here, but most were the worst Upper Rank Exotic Beast Sprite Eggs, a few were Elite level Exotic Beast Sprite Eggs, and one was a Leader level Exotic Beast Sprite Egg. There were no Lord level Exotic Beast Sprite Eggs!

Furthermore, their prices were very expensive. Even the worst Upper Rank Exotic Beast Sprite Egg cost at least several hundred Soul Crystals, not to mention higher-level Exotic Beast Sprite Eggs.

Thinking about it, it was also normal. Exotic Beasts possess at least Medium Grade quality at their worst. Even without consuming resources, they can become Upper Rank Spirit Beasts just by reaching adulthood, so the price is naturally higher than Spirit Beasts of the same grade and species.

"Komodo Behemoth!"

This was that Fairy Egg capable of hatching a Leader level Exotic Beast. As for its price, Li Zhangsheng indicated he did not want to look!

Five-digit Soul Crystals!

There was no help for it; they could become Leader level Spirit Beasts upon adulthood. If one contracted a few more of these, as long as they survived until adulthood, a Monster Tamer could reach the Fifth Rank without any obstacles!

Of course, the cost was also high. First, you had to prepare hundreds of thousands of Low-grade Soul Crystals; second, you had to find a sufficient quantity of Leader level Exotic Beast Sprite Eggs; and finally, you had to ensure these Exotic Beast Sprite Eggs could hatch normally.

One must know that not all Fairy Eggs can hatch normally; occasionally, there are some Dead Eggs that cannot hatch, as well as Fairy Eggs with congenital deficiencies.

With congenital deficiencies, the abilities of the hatched Spirit Beast will be somewhat weakened, especially their three dimensions and height.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng began to project his Mental Power, and he saw dozens of bright light spots appearing on the radar-like interface.

Regrettably, although these light spots appeared bright, none reached the level of a Superior Quality Fairy Egg.

Li Zhangsheng shook his head; he suddenly lost interest in these Exotic Beast Sprite Eggs, including that Komodo Behemoth Fairy Egg.

Even if the Komodo Behemoth became a Leader level Spirit Beast, with its Medium Grade quality, it would be very difficult to advance further. At the same time, its strength would likely be at the bottom among Leader level Spirit Beasts, because other Spirit Beasts of the same level often have higher quality than it, allowing them to obtain higher template bonuses.

Without lingering, Li Zhangsheng began to head toward the fourth floor.

Contrary to Li Zhangsheng's expectations, the fourth floor was piled with a large number of Fairy Eggs, likely exceeding one hundred thousand. There were no shelves here, causing these Fairy Eggs to be piled randomly into small hills.

While Li Zhangsheng was observing, Qing Cang arrived at his side at some point and began to introduce them to him: "Junior brother, these are all Dead Eggs accumulated over the years! If you are lucky, you might be able to pick out some Fairy Eggs that can still hatch, but don't pin too much hope on it!"

Simply put, this floor was mainly for customers to view. If customers liked them, they could also purchase them at an extremely low price.

These Fairy Eggs defined as 'Dead Eggs' did not mean that all of them could not hatch. Among them, there must exist Fairy Eggs with very long incubation periods, or it could be that they lacked certain key incubation factors, such as climate, temperature, and so on.

"Many thanks, Senior brother, for the clarification. I will pick through them first; even if they don't hatch, I can take them as decorations!" Li Zhangsheng not only did not ignore these 'Dead Eggs', but his heart was actually filled with eagerness to try.

Over one hundred thousand 'Dead Eggs'—even if the proportion of 'Dead Eggs' that possessed vitality was not large, there would still be a large number of fish that slipped through the net. Even if it was only 1%, that would still be over a thousand!

There might be thousands of 'Dead Eggs' here that possessed vitality. Of course, whether they could be hatched, no one could know.

"So Junior brother has this kind of hobby!" Qing Cang shrugged his shoulders. Using 'Dead Eggs' to decorate a house—thinking about it, it was quite 'unique'.

Ignoring Qing Cang further, Li Zhangsheng projected his Mental Power, encompassing all the 'Dead Eggs' within range.

Although there were many 'Dead Eggs' within range, at least nearly ten thousand, those 'Dead Eggs' that still possessed vitality were only about a hundred.

If these 'Dead Eggs' that still possessed vitality were taken care of well, perhaps they could be hatched, but one could not pin too much hope on them either.

Among these light spots, there was one relatively bright light spot. Locking onto the position of the light spot, Li Zhangsheng arrived at a small hill piled with 'Dead Eggs'.

While picking and choosing, Li Zhangsheng soon found his target. This was a Fairy Egg covered in black spots on the surface, giving one the feeling of a Giantized preserved egg, indicating that the vitality of this Fairy Egg was no longer high and it was very likely already unable to hatch.

After finding the target, Li Zhangsheng continued to look for fish that had slipped through the net.

In Qing Cang's eyes, Li Zhangsheng was picking 'Dead Eggs' quite casually. His selection seemed to be related to his intuition, putting 'Dead Eggs' that looked decent into his cart.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng arrived at the end; this was also the last area he had yet to explore.

This was a small hill piled with a large number of 'Dead Eggs', a full ten meters high. It was also the hill with the largest number of 'Dead Eggs' on the fourth floor, just piled casually in the corner.

This time, an unknown change finally appeared. Among the hundreds of light spots, one light spot was like a scorching sun, emitting a soul-stirring brilliance. Under the illumination of such brilliance, all the other light spots became mere foils.

Surprisingly, this light spot changed again. In the blink of an eye, it became dim and lusterless, and immediately after, it became very bright again, giving one the feeling of a light bulb that was constantly switching on and off, repeating this process.

Bright as the great sun, dim as a firefly!

"With its level of brightness, it definitely exceeds Aixi and Kailan; I'm afraid it has reached the category of Top-tier Spirit. But why did it suddenly dim down? This discrepancy is just too large, isn't it?"

Li Zhangsheng's mood was complicated. Soon, he thought of two possibilities: either the Fairy Egg had mutated, causing a huge change in its quality; or the vitality of the Fairy Egg was too low, and its life force had declined to the extreme, which was why this situation occurred.

This was a gathering place for 'Dead Eggs', so the latter possibility was extremely high.

Without a doubt, this was a 'Dead Egg' with great potential, but the possibility of it hatching was extremely low!

Even so, Li Zhangsheng had no reason to let it go. Even if there was only a 1% chance of hatching, he would not give up. What if it hatched? That would be a huge profit!

After locking onto the target, Li Zhangsheng couldn't wait to pick it out.

This time, Li Zhangsheng picked for a long time, almost moving the entire hill of eggs, before finally finding the target.

Looking at the target in front of him, Li Zhangsheng stared with wide eyes, not knowing how to proceed!
