Chapter 325: Fire Element Crystal (First update, requesting everything)

"But I only want this pair!" Li Zhangsheng thought to himself, though he remained calm on the surface, putting on an appearance of considering the shopkeeper's position as he said, "Why go through all that trouble? Why not just give this pair of stone carvings to me? I feel that these two-meter-tall stone carvings don't really match your shop anyway; you could get something even bigger!"

"Fine, as long as you're satisfied!" The shopkeeper thought for a moment, ultimately choosing to agree, then directed a Cyclops to move the pair of Pixiu Stone Carvings into the carriage on the back of the Kipmoor Beast.

The Kipmoor Beast felt a weight settle on its back, but for a creature known for its endurance, it was still well within its capacity.

"Let's go!" After the employees finished loading all the Fairy Eggs, Li Zhangsheng stepped into the carriage containing the Pixiu Stone Carvings.

"We look forward to your next visit!"

The shopkeeper waved his hand; he liked big spenders like Li Zhangsheng the most, for as long as he brought in more profit, the Imperial Family would naturally value him more.

After a short running start, the Kipmoor Beast flapped its massive wings and began to fly toward the arena.

Li Zhangsheng sat casually in the carriage, watching the black night scenery outside, not the least bit worried about his personal safety.

Even if someone really wanted to take revenge on him, the Sprite Egg Shop was an important industry of the Imperial Family; the other party would have to be a fool to make a move on him at this time.

About ten minutes later, at Li Zhangsheng's signal, the Kipmoor Beast circled and landed in the courtyard where Yuanling Academy was staying, finally stopping outside Li Zhangsheng's room.

While Li Zhangsheng directed several shop employees to move the Fairy Eggs, a few team members came over to watch the excitement.

At this moment, Miao Yinfeng asked curiously, "Eh, Changsheng, what are you doing buying so many Fairy Eggs?"

"Captain, if it were only one or two Fairy Eggs, I wouldn't be confident, but with this many, it's different. I feel there's a high probability of hatching a High Quality Fairy!"

Li Zhangsheng used this reason as an excuse again, and Senior Miao Yinfeng did not doubt him, because there were indeed some Monster Tamers who liked to buy a pile of Fairy Eggs at once, which naturally greatly increased the probability of hatching a High Quality Fairy, though it was rare to see someone like Li Zhangsheng buy over a hundred Fairy Eggs at once.

To describe it in one word: extravagant!

However, thinking of Li Zhangsheng as the boss of the Starry Sky Auction House, Senior Miao Yinfeng felt it was quite normal.

While supervising, Li Zhangsheng deliberately diverted the topic: "Captain, is there any news about the internal trade fair?"

"I've already asked the Principal for instructions. Since we're resting tomorrow, the Principal decided to hold it tomorrow afternoon. The Principal and the Instructors might participate as well!"

"That's good!"

Li Zhangsheng nodded. He was still thinking about the Six-Armed Naga Fairy Egg in the Sprite Egg Shop; with the value of the Superior Quality Winged Snake and other items, he might be able to scrape together enough Soul Crystals to purchase the Fairy Egg tomorrow.

Soon, several staff members and their Spirit Beasts finished moving the items, but what they found strange was that Li Zhangsheng also had them move the two Pixiu Stone Carvings inside.

After exchanging a few words with Senior Miao Yinfeng, Li Zhangsheng used cultivation as an excuse to bid him farewell and returned to his room.

For safety's sake, Li Zhangsheng set up a Breath Concealment Restriction before taking out the Tungsten Gold Ore containing the treasure.

The Tungsten Gold Ore was quite hard, so Li Zhangsheng thought for a moment and then released Adai.

Adai possessed the trait of ignoring defense, making it naturally the best candidate for cutting the Tungsten Gold Ore.

Adai looked at Li Zhangsheng blankly, tilted its massive head, and then squatted on the ground without moving, though there was drool at the corner of its mouth.

Li Zhangsheng didn't mind the mess, carefully wiped the drool clean, and placed the Tungsten Gold Ore in front of it.

To avoid damaging the treasure inside, Li Zhangsheng signaled for Adai to use its sharp claws to grind the ore away bit by bit.

This was slow work, but Adai was very patient. From the moment it hatched from its egg until now, Li Zhangsheng had never seen it act impatient; it was likely the most patient Demon Pet Li Zhangsheng had.

The Demon Pets in Li Zhangsheng's possession each had their own distinct personalities.

Aixi was haughty, Kailan was gentle, the Flamingo was arrogant, the Sunlight Cat was quiet, the Moonlight Cat was lively, Round-and-Round was lazy, Adai was patient, the Treasure-Hunting Mouse was hardworking, the Light Bird was kind, and the Emperor Crocodile was honest!

Adai held the Tungsten Gold Ore with its left claw and began to grind the surface of the ore with its right claw. It didn't seem to be using much force, yet some powder began to drift to the ground.

Within a few breaths, a layer of the Tungsten Gold Ore had been ground away.

Adai checked it carefully, found no treasure, and continued to grind the ore. It didn't feel the slightest bit annoyed, just like an assembly line worker, repeating the process over and over.

After about five minutes, a pile of black metal powder had accumulated on the ground, and the surface of the Tungsten Gold Ore finally changed, revealing a piece of red crystal that faintly emitted a red luster.

Soon, the bucket-sized Tungsten Gold Ore shrank by more than half, finally ending up the size of an adult's fist.

Only then was the grinding finished.

This was a crystal-clear red crystal without a single impurity. If one observed closely, one would find that it contained viscous red liquid inside.

Adai carefully handed the red crystal to Li Zhangsheng and wanted to return to its motionless posture.

"Good work!" Li Zhangsheng took the red crystal and praised Adai.

Unlike the Tungsten Gold Ore, the Pixiu Stone Carvings didn't need Adai's help; Li Zhangsheng could easily handle them himself.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng looked at the red crystal in his hand and could clearly feel a scorching sensation.

Seeing the appearance of the red crystal, Li Zhangsheng had a familiar feeling. Wasn't this an Elemental Crystal? It was just that, unlike the Wood Element Crystal he had picked up as a bargain last time, this time it was a Fire Element Crystal, and its volume was far larger than the former, clearly containing more Elemental Power.

Elemental Crystal (Fire): Formed by the Heaven and Earth Great Power, it contains rich Fire Element Elemental Power. Giving it to a Spirit Beast of the same element to absorb has a certain probability of activating a hidden Bloodline. Giving it to a Fire-type Fairy to absorb can increase its Elemental Power, depending on the Fire-type Fairy's Elemental Power. Note: This is a rather rare treasure; do not give it to a non-Fire-type Spirit Beast or Fairy to absorb, otherwise there is a danger of exploding!

"It's a pity it's not a Wood Element Crystal, otherwise Kailan would be in luck!"

Li Zhangsheng couldn't help but feel a bit regretful. He didn't intend to let the Flamingo absorb it either; after all, the Flamingo's Phoenix Bloodline was already powerful enough. Activating a hidden bloodline might be fine in the early stages, but in the later stages, it might do more harm than good, as it would make its bloodline impure.

After putting away the Fire Element Crystal, Li Zhangsheng covered his hand with Starlight Power, brutally smashed the head of the Pixiu Stone Carving, and then reached his hand into the gap in the carving. When he pulled it out, he had an extra wooden box in his hand that could isolate Mental Power.
