Chapter 494: Snatching
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Millman97
"So, Little Brother is a beast tar as well. To be able to reach 2-star at such a young age, the younger generation sure is impressive!"
Even though Hall Master Han was perplexed, he didn’t allow his true thoughts to slip through. Clasping his hands, he spoke politely before turning his attention away.
A 2-star beast tar under twenty was impressive, but in their Beast Hall, it wasn’t a particularly rare sight.
Hearing the other party’s perfunctory words, Zhang Xuan couldn’t be bothered to explain himself.
His aim here was the soul oracle tomb. It didn’t matter to him whether the other party viewed him highly or not. It would suffice as long as the other party didn’t interfere in his affairs.
"Hall Master Han, Zhang..."
Seeing the attitude of his old buddy, Hall Master Sai imdiately realized that the other party might be misunderstanding sothing. He imdiately spoke up to explain the matter when the ground before them suddenly tremored and a loud voice echoed.
Roar!
A loud howl reminiscent of thunder bood, and the leaves from the nearby withered trees imdiately fell to the ground.
"Impressive!"
Zhang Xuan’s eyebrows shot up.
Just the voice in itself was sufficient jolt a cultivator beneath Zongshi realm to death.
For a single roar to be so incredible, as expected of a famous spirit beast in the Myriad Kingdom Alliance. It was indeed a fearso existence.
"It’s awake, let’s begin!"
Hall Master Han’s eyes lit up. He imdiately turned around to instruct the elders.
Upon hearing the instructions, the elders nodded and stepped forward. One of them flicked their wrist.
Boom!
The massive corpse of a spirit beast appeared on the ground.
"The corpse of a Transcendent Mortal 2-dan [Deerhorde Beast]? You all even managed to hunt down one of those?"
Upon seeing the corpse, Zhao Feiwu’s eyebrows leaped and a look of disbelief surfaced on her face.
"This spirit beast is incredible?" Sun Qiang asked doubtfully.
"The Deerhorde Beast is only a Transcendent Mortal 2-dan spirit beast and it isn’t particularly strong. However, it possesses extraordinary speed. Its at is fresh and juicy, making it a favored prey among spirit beasts and cultivators. Unfortunately, their numbers are severely limited and there might not be a single one across the entire Nine Folds Mountain. It must have surely cost a lot of ti and effort to capture one!"
Due to her illness, Zhao Feiwu wasn’t able to move around freely. Thus, she devoted her ti to books. Given the unique nature of the Deerhorde Beast, she rembered it clearly.
Hearing the conversation of the two, the gray-robed man proudly explained, "Looks like you know quite a bit. This Deerhorde Beast took seventeen beast tars over a course of half a year to hunt! It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that this is the only hunted Deerhorde Beast within the entire Myriad Kingdom Alliance at the mont. It’ll be impossible to find a second one on the market!"
Even though the cultivation of Deerhorde Beast wasn’t too high, it possessed high wariness and it was exceptionally cunning. If not for so many beast tars being dispatched for it, it would surely be impossible to capture it.
"Un!" Even though the other party was being narcissistic, Zhao Feiwu knew that there wasn’t any mistake in saying so.
It was indeed extrely difficult to capture this beast. Back then, a prince of the alliance (the household of the Alliance Head) was ill and required the heart of the Deerhorde Beast for treatnt. Thus, the Alliance Head Residence offered a high monetary reward for the acquirent of this spirit beast but there was no result for five whole years.
Eventually, due to the lack of dicine, the prince’s physical condition deteriorated and he eventually died.
It was also because of this that she flipped through the books and learned of the Deerhorde Beast.
"Not only is the flesh of the Deerhorse Beast fresh and juicy, more importantly, this spirit beast feeds on spirit herbs. Despite its weak cultivation, it is overflowing with spiritual energy, making it no different from a tonic. If a spirit beast were to consu it, they would be able to easily overco their current bottleneck and reach higher realms!"
Hall Master Sai interjected. "In other words, it’s a mobile Realm Breakthrough Pill!"
"I see. So, they are intending to use the corpse of this fellow to please the Demon Cinque Beast!"
Coming to an understanding, Sun Qiang was astonished.
To think that they would even procure such a rare and difficult to hunt spirit beast to ta this Demon Cinque Beast. The hall master of the Beast Hall had truly gone all out this ti.
While they were discussing this matter, Hall Master Han took in a deep breath and stepped forward.
"Brother Demon Cinque, I’ve prepared the items I told you about already. They are right here, co out and take a look!"
The voice echoed into the cave. There was a mont of silence, and the atmosphere grew tenser by the mont. Just as everyone was about to reach their limit, a loud gust of the wind blew out from within and a gigantic figure flew out.
It was a massive spirit beast possessing a height of around seven to eight ters. When its wings were spread apart, its length reached more than thirty ters long. Its eyes were scarlet as though fresh blood, giving it a fearso appearance. At the sa ti, its body is filled with resilient-looking scales, reflecting its outstanding defensive capability.
The Transcendent Mortal 4-dan pinnacle aerial spirit beast that everyone within the Myriad Kingdom Alliance feared... the Demon Cinque!
Roarrr!
As though having comprehended the words of Hall Master Han, the massive savage beast looked at the Deerhorde Beast corpse placed in front of him with fiery eyes.
Spirit beasts were already capable of absorbing spiritual energy to cultivate, and they possessed intelligence not beneath that of a human.
The corpse of this Deerhorde Beast was producing the deep fragrance of herbs and an intense spiritual energy disturbance. At this mont, its instincts were telling it that if it were to consu it, its cultivation would surely soar. Even if it wasn’t able to reach Transcendent Mrotal 5-dan, it wouldn’t be too far from it then. Under such circumstances, how could it not feel agitated?
"Brother Demon Cinque, as long as you promise to a condition of mine, this Deerhorde Beast will be yours!"
Seeing that its interest was piqued, Hall Master Han chuckled lightly.
Roarrr!
The Demon Cinque Beast turned its head to Hall Master Han, as though indicating its willingness to listen to the conditions of the latter.
"For the past three years, Brother Demon Cinque and I have been spending much ti together, and I believe you should know have a clear understanding of what kind of person I am. My condition is simple... I hope that you can beco my tad beast!" Hall Master Han said. "Don’t worry, we can sign an equal contract. This way, I won’t be able to force you to do anything you are reluctant to!"
Roarrrrrr!
Hearing that it had to beco a tad beast, the Demon Cinque Beast’s face imdiately warped in savagery and it roared in displeasure. It emanated a deep aura of hostility that left one’s hair standing on ends.
It seed to be saying that if Hall Master Han dared to continue talking about the matter, it would surely make a move.
As a bearer of the Dragon Bloodline, it was of esteed standing. How could it possibly be willing to submit to a re human and serve as its lackey?
"You shouldn’t be in such a hurry to make your decision!"
Seeing how the other party refused him without the slightest hesitation, Hall Master Han’s complexion turned awful. However, he quickly veiled it and chuckled, "I believe you should know of my standing among the humans. I am the head of the Beast Hall, a figure respected by many. Brother Demon Cinque, as long as you follow , I will treat you as my peer and fulfill anything you ask of to the best of my ability! The lifespan of spirit beasts might be long, but how long does it take for you to raise your cultivation by absorbing spiritual energy from the surroundings? You will be entitled to much better resources if you were to follow !"
After finishing those words, Hall Master Han beckoned to the elders behind.
A few elders stepped forward and a bunch of spirit stones appeared on the floor.
They were all low-tier spirit stones but they stacked up into a mini mountain. There was at least several thousand of them, and their appearance imdiately caused the spiritual energy in the surroundings to surge. Just by taking a whiff, one could feel their pores opening up and an indescribable feeling of comfort would envelop one.
Humans weren’t the only one who could utilize spirit stones for their cultivation; spirit beasts were the sa as well.
Cultivating through absorbing spiritual energy from spirit stones would surely be much faster than simply absorbing spiritual energy from the surroundings.
"There’s a total of 8000 spirit stones here. As long as you agree to the condition, I can give them all to you right now," Hall Master Han said.
The reason why he could take out so many spirit stones while Hall Master Sai wasn’t able to was not because the latter was poor. Rather, Hall Master Sai had spent the bulk of his money on collectibles, resulting in the amount of spirit stones he could take out at a mont to be severely limited. In terms of total assets, the latter would surely be far superior.
It was just like those antique collectors in the world Zhang Xuan lived in prior to his transcension. If those collectors were to sell their entire collection, they would surely be drowning in cash. However, as finding a suitable buyer for these items were difficult, the amount of cash they could take out at a given ti might not compare up to so of the wealthier rchants.
"If you aren’t interested in these spirit stones, you might be interested in this!"
Seeing the lack of response from the Demon Cinque Beast after taking out the bunch of spirit stones, Hall Master Han hesitated for a mont before gritting his teeth. Flicking his wrist, he took out a jade box.
Slowly opening it, a spirit stone ca into sight.
Boom!
The mont the box was opened, the spiritual energy in the surroundings imdiately grew so dense that it was nearly tangible. It felt as though as long as one was holding onto the spirit stone, even if one didn’t attempt to absorb it, the spiritual energy would still seep into one’s body, enhancing one’s body.
To put it simply, if one were to place this spirit stone by the side of an infant, even if the latter didn’t cultivate, nourished by the spiritual energy contained within it, his body would beco incredibly powerful and it would be immune to common illnesses. In less than two months, its physical body would beco no weaker than that of a Pigu realm cultivator.
"Could this be a... middle-tier spirit stone?"
Zhang Xuan clenched his fists tightly in agitation.
Having read innurable books, he knew a thing about two on the various tiers of spirit stones.
The spirit stones in his possession at the mont were of the most inferior grade, low-tier spirit stones.
Low-tier spirit stones were sufficient to support the cultivation of a cultivator of Transcendent Mortal 4-dan and below. Any higher than that would require spirit stones of higher grade.
Taking Zhang Xuan for example, due to the incredible purity of Heaven’s Path zhenqi, even though he was only at Transcendent Mortal 1-dan Prolonged Longevity realm pinnacle, low-tier spirit stones were already nearly ineffective on his cultivation. If he wanted to reach Origin Energy realm, on top of completing the Heaven’s Path Divine Art of that level, more importantly, he needed a middle-tier spirit stone!
That spirit stone in Hall Master Han’s hand was more than sufficient for his cultivation to rise from Prolonged Longevity realm pinnacle to Origin Energy realm pinnacle.
While quantity could make up for the disparity in quality, this logic only applied if the disparity in quality wasn’t too great in the first place.
With sufficient straw, one might be able to buy a diamond. However, the properties of a straw could never achieve the properties of a diamond.
Thus, even though ten thousand low-tier spirit stones could be exchanged for a middle-tier spirit stone, it couldn’t replace the effectiveness of a single middle-tier spirit stone.
"That’s right, it is a middle-tier spirit stone!"
Not expecting his old buddy to take out such an invaluable object, Hall Master Sai’s eyes widened in shock.
Middle-tier spirit stones were incomparably expensive. There wasn’t more than a handful of it throughout the entire Myriad Kingdom Alliance. The value of it could only be greater than the Deerhorde Beast!
Roarrr!
Seeing the middle-tier spirit stone, the eyes of the Demon Cinque Beast grew even redder.
In truth, Hall Master Han’s heart was also bleeding from taking out his greatest treasure. However, he knew that it would be impossible to hook in the Demon Cinque Beast without this much. Thus, clenching his jaws, he continued, "As long as Brother Demon Cinque agrees to becoming my tad beast, this middle-tier spirit stone will be yours... Hm? Brother Demon Cinque, what are you intending to do..."
Before he could finish his words, the Demon Cinque Beast flapped in massive wings and charged forward. Its talons swooped forward swiftly amidst raging winds to grab the spirit stone in Hall Master Han’s hand.
"Snatching? The heck!"
