Chapter 529: Transaction

"A standard Bronze cub, if released, many Beast Tamers with Black Iron-quality natal Heart Beasts would be tempted..."

Fang Xing looked at the appraisal results given by the Bronze Heart Image Canon and nodded.

For those Beast Tamers whose natal Heart Image is only Black Iron quality, it doesn't mean they can only linger at the Soldier-level for their whole lives.

Although the natal Heart Beast cannot break through to the General-level without great opportunity, other Heart Beasts they subdue can naturally break through the Soldier-level as long as they are Bronze quality.

Of course, doing so has a certain degree of danger.

Because Beast Tamers driving external Heart Beasts basically rely on their own natal Heart Beast to suppress them.

Once the natal Heart Beast is weaker than the external Heart Beast, if the other party suddenly rebels, even the protective spirit light itself cannot resist, and they might be killed by the external Heart Beast in one strike!

Therefore, rashly subduing external Heart Beasts that exceed the level of one's own natal Heart Beast is a very dangerous thing for a Beast Tamer.

Of course, if it's a cub raised from a young age, the two parties might have a good relationship, and compared to the natal Heart Beast, it's not much different except for the inability to share protective spirit light.

Protective skills are unique skills of the natal Heart Beast.

This kind of Heart Beast subdued later, no matter how high the harmony, is unlikely to add a layer of protective spirit light for the master.

However, if there are other defensive skills, they can of course be added to the Beast Tamer.

In short, this Earth-Shattering Bear cub can still be sold for a good price.

Many Soldier-level and General-level Beast Tamers will be tempted by it.

"Alright, let's go."

Fang Xing closed the Bronze Heart Image Canon and rode on Er Ha: "It's time to leave..."

He came this time mainly to scrape up resources and incidentally search for Heart Beasts that fit his heart.

Unfortunately, he didn't see any breed that tempted him, so he could only go to the Heart Sanctuary to take a look.

Not long after Fang Xing left, a gust of wild wind blew by.

¤￠o

In the wild wind, there was a fierce beast.

It was somewhat similar to a White Tiger, but it had two long sharp teeth; it was an Upper Lord-level Fierce Saber-Toothed Tiger!

After Heart Beasts enter the Lord-level, they all possess an extremely strong sense of territory.

This Saber-Toothed Tiger was obviously alarmed by the Heart Beasts that had been disappearing one after another in its territory these days.

This meant a predator had arrived; generally speaking, encountering this situation, they must hunt each other, and only one can survive and stay.

And with this Fierce Saber-Toothed Tiger's seven hundred years of cultivation, Er Ha was definitely no match.

Even if its quality was extremely high, the huge gap in cultivation was still difficult to make up for.

Fortunately, Fang Xing also knew this and had no intention of letting Er Ha break through to the Lord-level immediately.

Although Er Ha's quality was extremely high, it had just broken through to the General-level, and breaking through to ninety-plus years of cultivation was already a bit "overstuffed," requiring good digestion.

Therefore, he decided to leave, and also to avoid being targeted by Lord-level Heart Beasts.

It must be said that Fang Xing's decision was just right.

Otherwise, if he had met this Fierce Saber-Toothed Tiger, even if he could eventually escape, he would definitely not have avoided being left in a sorry state.

Green Forest City.

Heart Sanctuary.

Coming here again, Fang Xing's mood was quite complicated.

He entered the sanctuary and saw the high glass dome, the stone pillars standing all around, and the statue of the "Lord of Hearts."

According to the doctrine, the Lord of Hearts is the myriad images of the heart and has no specific form.

Therefore, the statues carved by worshippers are often very abstract; what is worshipped here is a pure white sphere, looking a bit like a glutinous rice ball.

"Hello, young Beast Tamer."

Dugu Fang was wearing a priest's robe and smiled: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"I have come to offer a sacrifice to the Lord of Hearts and would like to enter the trading area behind the sanctuary."

Fang Xing took out a piece of gold, looking to be five taels in weight.

"The Lord of Hearts will bless you."

Dugu Fang smiled slightly, accepted the believer's offering, and let a priest lead the way.

Fang Xing came to the back of the church and saw a square.

Two rows of solemn buildings were built on the square, and besides that, some Beast Tamers were setting up stalls directly on the square, but there were very few traders.

'The vast majority are Soldier-level, even General-level are rare...'

Fang Xing glanced and shook his head.

Before entering Green Forest City, he of course let Er Ha continue to hide its cultivation, and now it looked like a Soldier-level Beast Tamer.

After identifying it slightly, he first walked into a building with a golden copper coin on the plaque.

This was a bank, and it also acquired precious materials related to Beast Tamers.

"This Beast Tamer, I don't know what business brings you to our 'Datong Bank'?"

A shopkeeper saw Fang Xing enter and immediately cupped his hands in salute, his smile very kind.

"Selling some resources."

Fang Xing put down the bamboo basket and took out a few things.

"This is... 'Blood Orchid'? 'Star Iron'? And 'Jade Honey'?"

The old shopkeeper rubbed his left eye, and on his eye, he was wearing a monocle.

Seeing Fang Xing's gaze, he couldn't help but smile slightly: "Distinguished guest, excuse me, this is my natal Heart Beast—Arc Mirror, although its combat power is not good, it is quite useful in terms of appraisal... This 'Blood Orchid' of yours has ninety years of age, worth a hundred taels of gold... The Star Iron weighs three jin and six taels, can be sold for eighty taels of gold... As for the last 'Jade Honey', how about ten taels of gold per bottle?"

"The price is quite fair."

Fang Xing nodded, considering the transaction recognized.

In fact, he still had these materials on hand, and just the Jade Honey was kept back by more than half; it was impossible to trade in one place.

What's more, Bronze-quality dog food is relatively hard to find, and Jade Honey can also be used to tide over for now.

"Alright, that's a total of two hundred and twenty taels of gold. Does the distinguished guest want gold or gold notes?"

The old shopkeeper laughed.

Fang Xing knew that in Green Forest City, one tael of gold is worth ten taels of silver, and one tael of silver can buy a full hundred jin of rice.

These two hundred-plus taels of gold, even for the Fang family in Sanshan Township, would be a bone-breaking amount to take out.

'The more top-tier the Beast Tamer, the more they earn, of course, the more they spend...'

He replied: "Gold notes will do... your Datong Bank has main branches in the Heart Capital, the reputation is still acceptable."

The old shopkeeper's smile grew wider, and he gave Fang Xing twenty-two gold notes.

These gold notes were ten taels each, the surface was pale gold, the paper was thick and stiff, and it had a special feel to the touch.

Even, Fang Xing felt some special power, which was probably the anti-counterfeiting mark.

Being able to open a bank all over the Heart World, Datong Bank obviously has powerful forces behind it.

Even King-level is not quite enough.

"By the way, I heard that your channels are very wide, can you pre-order some powerful Heart Beast cubs or Heart Beast eggs?"

After the transaction, Fang Xing asked casually: "Do you have Commander-quality ones?"

"This... Commander-quality Heart Beasts are very popular, especially cubs. Although our bank accepts pre-orders, this service is only provided to higher-level collaborators..."

The old shopkeeper said with some difficulty: "With the distinguished guest's status, perhaps you can first pre-order a few Black Iron or Bronze-quality cubs?"

Commander-quality, once grown, is Lord-level.

Placed in Green Forest City, one could go challenge the City Lord, so it is naturally strictly controlled.

Fang Xing nodded to show understanding, walked out of the bank, and came to the square.

"Fine battle pet food... all 'Blood Tooth Rice' full of blood energy!"

"Skill book... the skill book 'Tearing Claw' circulated from the Heart Sanctuary... only fifty taels of gold!"

"Heart Beast eggs, Heart Beast cubs... Black Iron-quality Heart Beast cubs sold cheaply..."

"Battle robes woven by the Weaver Beast Tamer himself, using 'Water-Fire Silk', can waterproof and fireproof... absolutely essential for wild travel..."

At this time, the flow of people on the square seemed to have increased a bit, and the hawking merchants also had strength, their voices a little louder than before.

Fang Xing looked at a few stalls and shook his head.

'Sure enough, there are no good goods on the street stalls... the quality is even worse than in the shops, wanting to pick up leaks, but ending up suffering losses instead.'

He stood in front of a stall selling Heart Beast cubs, looking at those cubs that were listless and whose strength and appearance were very average, and couldn't help but shake his head.

'Too poor...'

'Compared to them, the Earth-Shattering Bear I'm preparing to sell can be considered to have extraordinary bones...'

However, a Bronze-quality Heart Beast cub is indeed of extraordinary value, almost comparable to all his gains from entering the mountain this time.

"This Beast Tamer little brother, how about looking at this 'Bright Spirit Cat'?"

The sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked stall owner saw Fang Xing stop and immediately boasted about the Heart Beast on his stall as if it were the best in the world... as if in the next moment its quality would ascend, becoming a King, Emperor, or even legendary...

"And these few 'Black Feather Crow Eggs', I spent all my strength to dig them out of a bird's nest on a ten-thousand-foot cliff..."

The stall owner probably also knew that his goods were of poor quality, so he took out a few pitch-black bird eggs.

"Still Black Iron quality... and the Black Feather Crow is too small, it's hard to carry people to fly..."

Fang Xing shook his head.

He also knew that in such a small county town, it was unlikely to have any top-quality Heart Beasts.

And for the concept of the weather team, Er Ha was the absolute core.

As long as there could be a large flying Heart Beast that also fit the destruction domain, even if it were Bronze quality, he was prepared to accept it; anyway, it was just a transition.

He didn't expect that the poverty of this small county town would exceed his previous expectations.

'Looks like... I still have to catch it myself.'

'After replenishing, I'll go to Mount Qinglong again... but this time I must avoid the area from last time.'

Fang Xing had read so many books in the school, so he naturally knew that a large number of Heart Beast deaths in an area would definitely cause a chain reaction, attracting Lord-level powerhouses.

Just as he was preparing to leave, another Beast Tamer walked to the entrance of the square.

This Beast Tamer was in his forties, wearing black tight-fitting clothes, with a headband on his head; Fang Xing didn't recognize him.

Beside him, he was followed by an old one-eyed wolf.

This old wolf was covered in scars, one eye was blind, its fur was grey and white, looking a bit miserable.

More importantly, that one remaining eye of its saw Fang Xing and actually stared straight at him.

"Eh?"

Fang Xing's heart stirred: "This old one-eyed wolf... seems a bit like the one that appeared in Sanshan Township... Fang Lianshan said in the letter that that old wolf was one-eyed, was subdued by a passing Beast Tamer, and taken away..." ===== CHAPTER 530 =====
