Chapter 47: Emerald Orb

These two items: the former is an Intermediate Demon Taming Art, a rank above the Basic Demon Taming Art, capable of better tempering Mental Power and accelerating the recovery of Mental Power.

The latter is an orb, shimmering with a moist green luster, much like emerald.

This is another Intermediate Treasure, but if one observes it carefully, one will discover it is not a Wood-type Treasure Accessory, nor is it of any other attribute; it seems to be a special type of Treasure.

In terms of value, the Intermediate Demon Taming Art is still inferior to the Lightning Zebra, and as for the green orb, it depends on its actual efficacy.

Treasures of the same grade also have significant gaps in value; attribute-based Treasures are the most common, have the largest audience, and have the most stable prices, while special types of Treasures with niche effects are often worth less than attribute-based Treasures.

Of course, among special Treasures, there also exist some with miraculous effects, such as restoring a Demon Pet's stamina, changing local weather, strengthening physical attributes, etc., all of which exceed attribute-based Treasures in value.

The young Monster Tamer held the orb, looking a bit nervous, and began to explain the orb's function: "This is the Emerald Orb. If carried by a Demon Pet with healing skills, it can enhance its healing effects. In terms of value, it exceeds ordinary attribute-based Treasures!"

After finishing, the young Monster Tamer stared nervously at Li Zhangsheng. The Emerald Orb seemed to exceed attribute-based Treasures in value, but the problem was that Demon Pets with healing abilities were too rare.

Among various types of Treasures, attribute-based Treasures with a broad audience are often the most popular, while some Treasures that seem miraculous but have a limited audience become ignored and are difficult to sell.

Looking at these two items, Li Zhangsheng soon made his decision; he decided to choose the Emerald Orb.

The Intermediate Demon Taming Art is rather lackluster; its speed in tempering Mental Power is not much faster than the Basic Demon Taming Art, and its help to him is limited.

Most importantly, the Intermediate Demon Taming Art is not rare; his own family has quite a few, and there even exist Advanced Demon Taming Arts.

As for the Emerald Orb, although it is useless to the vast majority of Monster Tamers, he possesses Kailan and the Paradise Bird, both of which have healing skills; as long as they carry the Emerald Treasure, they can enhance their healing effects.

Not to mention other healing skills, even if it only enhances the healing effects of the Healing Spring or Sacred Water, he could sell it for a higher price, and before long, he would be able to recoup the cost of the Emerald Treasure.

"If you add ten more Low-grade Soul Crystals, I am willing to trade with you!" Li Zhangsheng remained calm on the surface, wanting to strive for greater benefits.

The young Monster Tamer clearly hesitated for a moment, but after glancing at the Lightning Zebra, he ultimately chose to agree.

"Very well, I choose the Emerald Orb!" Li Zhangsheng made his choice.

The young Monster Tamer did not hide his inner excitement, unable to wait to complete the transaction with Li Zhangsheng.

After Li Zhangsheng made his decision, other interested Monster Tamers revealed expressions of annoyance, while simultaneously pondering Li Zhangsheng's intentions.

In their view, Li Zhangsheng chose the Emerald Orb either because he had a Demon Pet with healing skills, or he had a channel to exchange the Emerald Orb for greater benefits.

Soon, the two found the Market Supervisor. Under the other's supervision, Li Zhangsheng lifted the Temporary Contract on the Lightning Zebra. In the blink of an eye, the mark on the Lightning Zebra's head disappeared.

After glancing at Li Zhangsheng, the Lightning Zebra did not show any signs of reluctance; there was no help for it, as it had no emotional foundation with Li Zhangsheng.

At this moment, the young Monster Tamer bit his index finger impatiently and pressed his blood-stained finger onto the Lightning Zebra's head. The Lightning Zebra did not dodge, allowing the young Monster Tamer to proceed.

At the moment of contact, the young Monster Tamer could not help but close his eyes. Soon, he established a mental connection with the Lightning Zebra and began to sense the other's emotions.

The next moment, the young Monster Tamer's Mental Power converged into a point of light, combined with the blood, and finally transformed into a blood halo that circled the Lightning Zebra, slowly merging into its body.

From beginning to end, the Lightning Zebra did not resist; instead, it actively opened its mind, allowing the blood halo to surge in. A phantom of the Blood Contract began to emerge in its mind, soon turning from illusory to real, and finally transformed into a Xianxue Yinjie, branded into its soul.

Neigh～

In an instant, the Lightning Zebra turned into a stream of light and was automatically collected into the Demon Pet Space.

"I also have a Mid-grade Demon Pet now!"

After completing the contract, the young Monster Tamer danced with excitement, revealing a satisfied smile. With the potential of a Mid-grade Lightning Zebra, as long as he cultivated it for a period of time, it could become his powerful assistant.

At this time, the supervisor handed the Emerald Orb and ten Low-grade Soul Crystals to Li Zhangsheng, indicating that the transaction between the two parties was complete and there was no room for regret.

In this transaction, both parties believed they had taken advantage; it could be said to be a win-win result.

After completing the transaction, Li Zhangsheng did not leave, but walked straight toward the center of the market.

In the prime location of the market, the largest scale was a Sprite Egg Shop, which was also the only Sprite Egg Shop in the Fairy Market, possessing a monopoly because its background was the City Lord Mansion.

Li Zhangsheng had two purposes for coming to the Fairy Market: the first was to trade the Lightning Zebra, and the second was to use his Soul Sensing ability to find cost-effective Fairy Eggs.

Li Zhangsheng's Soul Sensing ability could not only probe Spirit Beasts but also worked on Fairy Eggs. However, perhaps because they were wrapped in eggshells, Li Zhangsheng could not obtain their data and could only determine their approximate quality through the degree of brightness.

Yes, approximate quality!

Before hatching, due to factors such as environment, temperature, humidity, etc., the quality of a Fairy Egg would also fluctuate slightly.

This shop had two floors and an area of several thousand square meters, with a large number of shelves standing inside, filled with a dazzling array of Fairy Eggs.

Additionally, a wooden sign hung at the entrance of the shop with the large characters: 'Purchasing Fairy Eggs, offering favorable prices!'

This Sprite Egg Shop was divided into an appraisal area and an unidentified area. Just as the name implied, many Fairy Eggs were of unknown origin, and it was impossible to distinguish their species using the eggshell and size; it was purely a matter of luck.

Because of this, the prices of Unidentified Sprite Eggs were the same. Of course, if an Unidentified Sprite Egg was very large, the price would also increase, and they were uniformly placed on the second floor.

As for the appraised Fairy Eggs, their prices were mainly determined by the species of the Spirit Beast, and they were uniformly placed on the first floor.

Li Zhangsheng began to wander on the first floor, where there were many shelves displaying a large number of Fairy Eggs. These Fairy Eggs were not placed randomly, but were arranged according to attribute and species.

Additionally, each Fairy Egg had a label that was difficult to tear off, with the species and category of the Fairy Egg written on it.

Immediately, Li Zhangsheng released his Mental Power to begin searching for High Quality Fairy Eggs.
