Chapter 179: The Little Wolf Dog Carrying Treasure (First Update, Seeking Subscriptions)

Li Zhangsheng subconsciously locked onto the point of light; he discovered that this energy point was constantly moving, though the distance of its movement was limited to a certain range.

Strangely, this energy point was superimposed with a point of light symbolizing a Spirit Beast, and both were moving in synchronization.

In this way, the item emitting the intense energy fluctuation was very likely on this Spirit Beast.

With such an obvious marker, Li Zhangsheng locked onto the target instantly.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Wolf Dog (Growth Stage)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Lower Rank 5

【Spirit Beast Race】: Low-level Servant

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Low Grade

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: None

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Earth

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: Wood

"So it's a little wolf dog!" Li Zhangsheng thought to himself, subconsciously wanting to search for the wolf dog's location.

At this moment, the gold-clad and jade-adorned Monster Tamer frowned and asked again: "Stall owner, how much for the Thunder Leopard? You still haven't answered me."

"Sorry, I was distracted just now!" Li Zhangsheng finally came back to his senses, but his focus was mainly on searching for the little wolf dog, so he answered absentmindedly: "60 Soul Crystals!"

"A bit expensive, can you make it cheaper?"

"I don't haggle here; this is the bottom price!"

Li Zhangsheng couldn't be bothered to bargain; besides, in order to sell them off as quickly as possible, the prices he set for these Spirit Beasts and items were all slightly lower than the market price.

The gold-clad and jade-adorned Monster Tamer fell into hesitation and did not answer immediately.

"I'll take this Thunder Leopard!" Suddenly, a young Monster Tamer squeezed in and directly took out Soul Crystals to hand to the Market Supervisor standing to the side.

"Hey, I was here first!" The gold-clad and jade-adorned Monster Tamer immediately became anxious.

"But you only asked for the price just now and didn't say you wanted to buy this Thunder Leopard; besides, I have already handed the Soul Crystals to the supervisor!"

The young Monster Tamer's rebuttal left the gold-clad and jade-adorned Monster Tamer speechless; since the Soul Crystals had already been handed to the Market Supervisor, it was a futile effort no matter how much he argued.

The Pengcheng Fairy Trading Market had established a large number of Market Supervisors, one of whom happened to be right next to Li Zhangsheng's stall.

Under the instruction of the Market Supervisor, Li Zhangsheng released the Thunder Leopard's Temporary Contract; in the blink of an eye, the Contract Mark on the Thunder Leopard's head disappeared.

The Thunder Leopard had no emotional foundation with Li Zhangsheng, so naturally, it felt no attachment; however, it was wild and untamable, and subconsciously wanted to run away.

Unfortunately, Li Zhangsheng had made preparations in advance; Kailan cast Burrowing Vine, instantly binding the Thunder Leopard tightly.

Hypnosis Powder!

The next moment, Kailan released a bright yellow powder; under her precise control, the powder did not drift toward the crowd but landed solely on the Thunder Leopard.

The Thunder Leopard struggled subconsciously, but due to the gap in strength, it could not break free from the vines for a moment and was eventually covered by the Hypnosis Powder.

Boom—

Under the effect of the Hypnosis Powder, the Thunder Leopard's eyelids began to droop, its limbs went limp, and it soon fell to the ground, fast asleep.

At this moment, the young Monster Tamer hurriedly bit his index finger and pressed it onto the Thunder Leopard's head.

Without any surprises, the young Monster Tamer and the Thunder Leopard concluded a Blood Contract.

In an instant, the Thunder Leopard turned into a stream of light and automatically surged into the Demon Pet Space.

After contracting the Thunder Leopard, the young Monster Tamer revealed a smile.

At this time, the supervisor handed the sixty Soul Crystals to Li Zhangsheng; transactions in the Fairy Trading Market did not require taxes, as the authorities mainly relied on rent from land, shops, and stalls to profit.

After completing the transaction, Li Zhangsheng searched for that wolf dog again.

Soon, he found the target.

Right near his stall, a young boy was pulling hard on a black and white little wolf dog, forcibly dragging it back.

This little wolf dog was less than a meter long; it wore a collar inlaid with blood stone around its neck, and a chain was attached to it. As the boy pulled, it would stick out its tongue from time to time while returning to the boy's side.

This boy was not a Monster Tamer; he might be a resident living nearby. At this moment, while pulling the little wolf dog, he was standing on tiptoe, watching the excitement with great interest.

"I'll take this Earth Bamboo Rat!"

"How much for these Snake Skins?"

……

While observing, Li Zhangsheng completed several transactions. Because they were slightly lower than the market price, his Spirit Beasts and items were decreasing rapidly, while the Soul Crystals in his hands were becoming increasingly abundant.

After about half an hour, Li Zhangsheng's six High Quality Fairies had been sold out, and many other items had also been sold.

Among these sold items, the most valuable were the Spirit Essence and teeth of a prehistoric Sawtooth Earthworm. Although they were both Spirit Essence, the prehistoric Sawtooth Earthworm's Spirit Essence was naturally far inferior to Red Dragon Essence Blood, but it had the advantage of quantity, bringing Li Zhangsheng a profit of 30 Soul Crystals.

Adding these Spirit Beasts and items together, they brought Li Zhangsheng a total profit of 450 Soul Crystals.

After the last High Quality Fairy was sold, the boy pulling the little wolf dog showed an expression of waning interest; he chose not to continue watching the excitement but instead pulled the little wolf dog away.

Seeing the boy leave, Li Zhangsheng hurriedly chose to close his stall and take back the items that hadn't been sold. Most of these unsold items were quite niche, and even with prices lower than the market rate, they were still difficult to sell.

After closing the stall, Li Zhangsheng took two steps in one, quickly catching up to the boy.

"Little brother, please stay!"

The boy stopped and revealed a puzzled expression; he pointed at himself to confirm if Li Zhangsheng was calling him.

"Yes, that's you!"

The boy asked suspiciously: "Big brother, is there something you need from me?"

"Little brother, is this little wolf dog of yours for sale? My family is just in need of a guard dog!"

Li Zhangsheng did not hide his intentions, because there was no need to.

"Not for sale!" The boy shook his head resolutely; he had watched the little wolf dog grow up and often took it out for walks, so he already had feelings for it.

"I'll offer one Soul Crystal!" Li Zhangsheng extended an index finger; the purchasing power of a Soul Crystal was high, and one Soul Crystal could buy many little wolf dogs.

"Big brother, do you think you can bribe me with a mere Soul Crystal? Impossible!"

The youth pursed his lips, revealing a look of disdain; his parents were both Monster Tamers, and although their rank was not high, it was impossible for him to sell out his little wolf-dog for a mere Soul Crystal.

"Two Soul Crystals!"

"Hmph, do you think I am that kind of person! Don't waste your efforts!" The youth simply crossed his arms and continued teasing his little wolf-dog.

"Five Soul Crystals!"

"Uh, let me consider it!"

Jumping from two to five all at once, the youth was suddenly a bit tempted, because he had heard his parents say that they only earned four or five Soul Crystals a month, and most of that had to be used for cultivation.

Furthermore, the youth was also about to become a Monster Tamer, and he likewise needed to consider his future; five Soul Crystals was not a small amount, because even the trashiest Medium Grade Spirit Beast only cost 10 Soul Crystals.

However, the youth looked at Li Zhangsheng with eyes full of anticipation, hoping to hear a higher price from him.

Who knew that Li Zhangsheng would not play by the rules; he just shrugged his shoulders and said with a look of feigned regret: "Forget it then!"

"Hey, hey, big brother, don't go!"

Seeing Li Zhangsheng turn around and prepare to leave, the youth immediately became anxious.
