Chapter 180: Buying the Casket and Returning the Pearl (Second Update, Seeking Subscriptions)

Hearing the youth's voice, the corners of Li Changsheng's mouth pulled into a subtle, peculiar arc.

"What? Didn't you say you wouldn't sell the little wolf dog?" Li Changsheng turned his head; as if changing his face, the previous expression seemed to have never existed, replaced instead by confusion.

"Big Brother, everything is negotiable!"

While the youth was speaking, the little wolf dog beside him revealed a disdainful, human-like gaze.

"Five Soul Crystals!"

Li Changsheng suppressed a laugh inside, but on the surface, he remained calm and composed.

"Big Brother, can it be a bit more?" The youth looked at Li Changsheng with expectant eyes.

"Forget it if you aren't selling!" Li Changsheng shrugged again and lifted his foot to leave.

"Wait, Big Brother, five it is!" The youth gritted his teeth and agreed to the trade.

Li Changsheng subconsciously wanted to haggle again, but he immediately dismissed the thought; one must not lose sight of the big picture for the sake of small gains. It was only five Soul Crystals, how could it be compared to a treasure? The relative importance was clear at a glance.

"Deal!"

After receiving the five Soul Crystals, the youth let out a sigh of relief and handed the iron chain in his hand to Li Changsheng.

"Then Big Brother, I'll be going first!" Fearing that Li Changsheng might regret it, the youth subconsciously wanted to leave.

"Wait!"

To the youth's surprise, Li Changsheng called him back.

Under the youth's puzzled gaze, Li Changsheng removed the iron chain and collar from the little wolf dog; this action confirmed to him that the collar was the source of the energy fluctuations.

"Here, give it back to you! Actually, it wasn't the dog I was lacking, but the collar!"

Li Changsheng tucked the collar into his Space Ring, and the intense energy fluctuation instantly vanished. Then, under the youth's stunned gaze, he returned the little wolf dog and the iron chain to him.

How can you be so shameless!

Watching Li Changsheng's departing back, the youth was speechless for a long time; he was completely bewildered by Li Changsheng's brazen maneuver.

At this moment, the black-and-white little wolf dog lifted its hind leg, and a stream of water shot out fiercely, landing straight onto the youth's shoe.

The shoe was instantly soaked. The youth finally reacted, stomping his feet in anger while subconsciously tugging on the iron chain, only to realize belatedly that the little wolf dog was no longer bound by it.

The next moment, the little wolf dog moved its four limbs and ran off playfully.

"Come back here! See if I don't beat you to death!"

Under the twilight, the youth chased after the little wolf dog, but he could not outrun it no matter what.

After completing the trade, Li Changsheng did not leave immediately but walked straight toward the central area.

The Pengcheng Fairy Trading Market naturally had professional Fairy Egg shops; just like in Luo City, there was only one such Fairy Egg shop in the entire market.

There was no helping it; only exclusive businesses were the most profitable. Don't look at Fairy Eggs as cheap; the profit margins were ten times over.

It wasn't that other forces didn't want to open a Fairy Egg shop, but they simply didn't dare to touch this delicious cake, because its backer was the Peng City City Lord Mansion, and it was also one of the City Lord Mansion's main sources of profit.

As usual, Li Changsheng came here with three goals: first, to exchange for cultivation resources; second, to pick up bargains; and third, to purchase high-quality Fairy Eggs.

Compared to the Fairy Egg shop in the Yuanling Academy Market District, this Fairy Egg shop also had four floors, though the area seemed even larger.

First floor: Identified Sprite Egg

Second floor: Unidentified Sprite Egg

Third floor: Exotic Beast Sprite Egg

Fourth floor: Dead Egg

Seeing these four categories of Fairy Eggs, Li Changsheng seriously suspected that one of them had plagiarized the other.

After entering the Fairy Egg shop, Li Changsheng began to project his Mental Power. Ever since advancing to the Second Rank, his Mental Power projection range had reached a hundred meters, allowing him to cover the entire first floor in one go.

In an instant, like a radar screen, dense light spots appeared in Li Changsheng's mind, likely numbering in the thousands. Among these light spots, most were dim, with only a few emitting bright radiance.

Against the backdrop of thousands of light spots, one spot shone like the brilliance of the bright moon, emitting a dazzling luster, giving the impression of stars surrounding the moon.

"This level of brightness already exceeds the Mid-grade category, but it is not as bright as Roundy's. This is a Fairy Egg that can hatch a Superior Fairy!"

With just a glance, Li Changsheng determined the quality of the Fairy Egg; his 'Egg Appraisal' experience was already quite rich.

However, Li Changsheng's heart remained calm as an ancient well. Ever since hatching Roundy, his standards had automatically risen to the top-tier level.

His movements were not slow; he pushed a small cart and swept up every high-quality Fairy Egg.

Soon, the shrewd manager reacted, immediately viewing Li Changsheng as a big client and hurriedly signaling two clerks to help Li Changsheng push the small cart.

There were many people who purchased large quantities of Fairy Eggs like this, and they were the ones the shop liked the most.

Soon, the first small cart was full!

Before long, the second and third carts followed suit.

It took over half an hour for Li Changsheng to explore the entire Fairy Egg shop.

Unlike last time, this time Li Changsheng did not find any Fairy Eggs in the top-tier category; his biggest harvest was three Superior Fairy Eggs and dozens of Mid-grade Fairy Eggs.

Some of these Fairy Eggs were cheap 'Dead Eggs', and Li Changsheng bought this batch of Fairy Eggs for only a few dozen Soul Crystals.

With so many Fairy Eggs, the merchant naturally had to provide delivery, sending them to the small courtyard of Lin Wan and her daughter.

However, on the way back, he saw a notice; it was a sale notice from an auction house located on the edge of the Academy District, with specific prices to be discussed in person.

Li Changsheng memorized the content of this notice, and by the time he returned to the Number One Courtyard, the sky had already turned completely dark.

The first thing Li Changsheng did was take out that pile of Datura Grass.

Without spending much time, Li Changsheng took out a plant that resembled Datura Grass.

Both in appearance and color, this plant was extremely similar to Datura Grass; the only difference was that it had five oval-shaped leaves, which would be hard to distinguish without careful inspection.

"What is this?"

It was the first time Li Changsheng had seen such a plant, so he hurriedly opened the *Treasures Compendium*. After opening the index, Li Changsheng skipped the common treasure types; this plant contained intense energy, so how could it be a common treasure type?

Li Changsheng's search speed was fast, with pages of the index being flipped through rapidly. In less than a minute, he found his target.

Turning to the corresponding page, the illustrated introduction above featured ten plants of different colors, and their names were also quite different.

Seeing the illustrated introduction above, Li Zhangsheng's eyes lit up, and a smile that was hard to conceal appeared on his face.

Wind Spirit Grass: Heaven and Earth Essence, containing rich Wind Element energy essence. If given to a Spirit Beast of the same element to absorb, there is a certain chance to improve the quality of that Wind Element Spirit Beast, depending on the Spirit Beast's original quality; the higher the quality, the smaller the chance. Note: Do not let non-Wind Element Spirit Beasts absorb it, otherwise there is a danger of the body exploding!
