Chapter 968: Sweeping Up Fairy Eggs (Second Update, requesting everything)

As for the other humanoid Spirit Beasts, Li Zhangsheng had no intention of letting them go; he packed them all up to take away.

This was not because he had any particular inclination; considering they were somewhat pleasing to the eye, they could add some life to the Secret Realm, and crucially, their intelligence was normal, so with some training, they might become Spirit Planters, or at the very least, they could help out with chores.

Although Xiaoguai could take care of the Dangkang Xianglian Kongjian alone, the entire Secret Realm could also be used to plant spiritual plants; while the effect was far inferior to the Dangkang Xianglian Kongjian, it had the advantage of being much larger in area.

The area of the Dangkang Xianglian Kongjian was truly limited, so Li Zhangsheng planned to open up several Medicine Gardens in the Secret Realm, just like Spirit King Liu Yongtu's Secret Realm, to plant some lower-tier spiritual plants, especially those that could restore Bloodline Imprints in batches, thereby forming a virtuous cycle.

As for the land in the Dangkang Xianglian Kongjian, it would be used exclusively for planting high-tier spiritual plants.

The Medicine Gardens required a large amount of manpower to tend to them; originally, Li Zhangsheng intended to recruit some clansmen, but his Secret Realm's growth rate was truly too fast, so to avoid leaks and unnecessary trouble, he had no choice but to resort to this inferior plan.

Now that he saw this batch of humanoid Spirit Beasts, Li Zhangsheng prepared to train them to tend to the spiritual plants; moreover, they had the advantage of being diverse in type, so whether it was spiritual plants in water, underground, or on cliffs, there were perfect candidates for each.

Most importantly, without Li Zhangsheng's permission, they could not leave the Secret Realm, which could keep the Secret Realm's secrets.

To buy them, Li Zhangsheng spent a large amount of Soul Crystals, and this was even with the special discount the merchants gave; otherwise, the cost would have been even higher.

In addition to various wild Spirit Beasts that met his requirements, Li Zhangsheng also selected a batch of Spirit Beast flesh and blood that also met the requirements.

The harvest this time was not insignificant; there were more than a dozen wild Spirit Beasts with Rich Bloodlines alone, not to mention those with Pure-Grade Bloodlines.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng left the wild Spirit Beast area and arrived at the Fairy Egg area.

The Fairy Trading Market in the Imperial Capital was different from that of the Langya Kingdom; the Langya Kingdom followed a monopoly model, where only the Langya Kingdom Imperial Family could operate Fairy Eggs, which directly resulted in the large Fairy Trading Market having only one Sprite Egg Shop, and due to the monopoly, prices were generally high.

The Mucang Empire Imperial Family did not choose a monopoly model, which directly resulted in the Imperial Capital's Fairy Trading Market having a dedicated Fairy Egg area.

The Fairy Egg area only occupied one street, but it had more than a dozen shops of varying sizes; due to competition, the prices were significantly lower than in the Langya Kingdom.

Unlike most of the previous shops, in order to provide a good environment for the Fairy Eggs, some of the Restrictions in these shops were turned on at all times, causing Li Zhangsheng's released Mental Power to inevitably deviate.

Li Zhangsheng was not surprised by this situation and walked straight into the nearest Sprite Egg Shop.

It was quite a coincidence that among the dozen or so Sprite Egg Shops, this shop could be considered the largest in scale.

However, in terms of area, this one was no larger than the Sprite Egg Shop in Yecheng; in fact, it was even a bit smaller.

After entering the shop, Li Zhangsheng's released Mental Power returned to normal, limited to this shop, and only on the first floor; on the second floor and above, deviations appeared again.

A clerk took the initiative to serve Li Zhangsheng, and at Li Zhangsheng's request, the clerk pushed the largest cart and followed closely behind him.

Li Zhangsheng began to wander through the first-floor appraisal area, his Mental Power constantly in an outward-released state, easily encompassing the entire first floor.

In the blink of an eye, nearly ten thousand bright spots of varying intensity appeared in Li Zhangsheng's mind.

Since becoming an Emperor Rank, his Mental Power range had not only expanded significantly but had also become more sensitive, allowing him to lock onto targets faster without having to pick and choose like before.

Because Lin Wan and her daughter had limited energy, to avoid them being unable to keep up with the care, Li Zhangsheng decided to only select Fairy Eggs of Superior Quality and above.

As for increasing the number of people to care for the Fairy Eggs, Li Zhangsheng did not have such thoughts for the time being, because more people would make it easier to expose his special ability; besides, Medium Grade Fairy Egg hatchlings had too little profit for him, so there was no need to waste energy on them.

After eliminating all the light spots that did not meet the requirements, only two bright light spots remained.

Li Zhangsheng already had very rich experience in this area and immediately judged that these were just two Superior Quality Fairy Eggs.

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng found them, had the clerk move them onto the cart, and then turned to go to the second floor.

The second floor naturally belonged to the unappraised area, where there were even more Fairy Eggs than on the first floor.

Unfortunately, the harvest was not as good as the first floor, with only one Superior Quality Fairy Egg.

The third floor belonged to the Exotic Beast Sprite Egg area; their quantity was far lower than the previous two floors, with only about one or two hundred of them.

On this floor, there was not a single Exotic Beast Sprite Egg that met Li Zhangsheng's requirements.

At this moment, the clerk following behind was a bit confused, unable to understand why Li Zhangsheng had him push such a large cart, but he only grumbled in his heart and continued to follow Li Zhangsheng.

As Li Zhangsheng expected, the fourth floor belonged to the Quasi-God Sprite Egg area; in the large room, four Quasi-God Sprite Eggs were placed and strictly protected.

From the labels, they were White Dragon, Three-Legged Fire Crow, Wind Civet, and Hydra.

Depending on the species, there was a small difference in price; the cheapest was the White Dragon Fairy Egg, which only required 300,000 Soul Crystals.

The most expensive was the Three-Legged Fire Crow Fairy Egg, with a price as high as 700,000 Soul Crystals.

Among Quasi-Gods, the Three-Legged Fire Crow definitely ranked at the forefront; crucially, its speed was extremely fast, making it a very high-quality flying mount.

The other two Quasi-God Sprite Eggs were both 400,000 Soul Crystals.

Since there were only four Quasi-God Sprite Eggs, Li Zhangsheng originally held no hope, but after receiving feedback from his Mental Power, he couldn't help but be startled.

A Top-tier Spirit egg!

Li Zhangsheng did not expect that among the mere four Quasi-God Sprite Eggs, there would actually be one Top-tier Spirit egg.

Following the feedback of his Mental Power, Li Zhangsheng's gaze finally fell on the Quasi-God Sprite Egg labeled Hydra.

Although it was not the best Three-Legged Fire Crow, it was not the worst White Dragon either; the Hydra was not bad, at least it was tanky enough and not easy to die.

After pondering for a moment, Li Zhangsheng said, "Pack them all up!"

"What?"

The clerk following behind was completely stunned, subconsciously thinking he had misheard.

"I said pack them all up!"

Li Zhangsheng pointed at the four Quasi-God Sprite Eggs and repeated it again.

The clerk's face was full of shock; he had worked here for more than a decade but had never encountered such a thing. After all, these four Quasi-God Sprite Eggs added up to nearly two million Soul Crystals, which was a huge number; even an ordinary Emperor Rank would have to suffer a heavy blow to their finances.
