At the sa ti, in these last 4 hours that he toured through the Holy city, Shun Long also learned about the existence of so cultivators who were called Beast Tars.
Beast tars could subdue beasts much easier than normal cultivators, and they could even ta those magic beasts much faster than them and even have them follow them into battles, earning the title of beast tars.
Of course also knew that there were such people in the Night star continent as well, and even in the Desolate East, but they were so few and far between that he never paid any attention to them.
However, in the central region, beast tars weren't any less important than alchemists or formation masters.
High-level beast tars were actually treated with the sa importance by the powerful families and clans as well as the other forces in the central region, that everyone longed to beco a beast tar as well.
However, although beast tars enjoyed a high status, it wasn't easy for soone to join their ranks.
Every beast tar needed to have extensive knowledge of the magic beasts they have to deal with, including the magic beasts' personality traits and how aggressive or docile the beasts were, their natural habitat that they preferred to live, as well as the internal structure of the magic beast and even the prey that they liked to hunt the most, as well as the natural enemies that the magic beasts had.
At the sa ti, although alchemists also needed to have extensive knowledge of the magic beasts as well, the difference between them and beast tars was that alchemists also needed to learn the traits of countless dicinal herbs as well as have a powerful spiritual strength that allowed them to mix the ingredients together and concoct their pills.
In comparison, although beast tars didn't need a powerful spiritual strength, they needed a high combat strength if they wanted to subdue a magic beast.
And yet, although being an alchemist was considered to be a lot harder than being a beast tar due to the amount of knowledge that the alchemists needed to know, being a beast tar and having to deal with terrifying and powerful magic beasts was more dangerous in the end, making both professions enjoy an extrely high status throughout the central region.
Thus, it was extrely common for powerful families and clans to vie with each other in order to obtain the favor of powerful alchemists, formation masters and beast tars alike.
After arriving at the eastern part of the city, Shun Long noticed that even if the inns and the shops weren't as luxurious as the shops that were closer to the center, they didn't seem to have much fewer custors than the top shops.
Finally, an hour later, he stopped in front of the entrance of a dium-sized inn nad 'Blue Heaven inn'.
Shun Long knew that he was supposed to et rchant Ying Gui here today if he wanted to join his caravan and join the Holy sect's mission.
Before entering the inn, Shun Long first took out his sect identifying token and infused his qi inside it, imdiately activating the 'mory recording formation'.
Then, without any delay, he stepped past the inn's entrance and entered the inn.
A fat, middle-aged woman with her hair tied up in a bun approached Shun Long the mont that he entered the inn, and as soon as she spotted his yellow-colored robes which indicated that he was an outer disciple of the Holy sect, she smiled brightly before asking
''Welco young lord, can I help you?''
Since Shun Long seed to be an outer disciple of the Holy sect and the woman knew that most disciples of the sect usually enjoyed an extrely high status everywhere within the Holy sect's territory, she didn't think that the young man in front of her had actually chosen her inn to stay and would most likely be here looking for soone.
Indeed, nodding his head at this woman whom he assud was most likely the innkeeper, Shun Long then asked curiously
''Thank you, is rchant Ying Gui staying here?''
The woman nodded her head with the sa smile on her face as her eyes lit up in realization after hearing Shun Long's question, before she pointed towards the depths of the inn and gestured for him to follow after her before she replied
''Of course. Senior Ying Gui is staying in his own courtyard. I was told that if a disciple of the Holy sect really arrived, I should lead you to his courtyard right away. Please follow .''
Without any delay, the young woman led Shun Long to Ying Gui's courtyard.
A couple of minutes later, Shun Long arrived in front of one of the largest courtyards in the inn, before the innkeeper's voice resounded in the air
''Senior Ying Gui, your guest has arrived.''
The gates of the courtyard opened promptly a few monts later, as Shun Long saw a short, almost obese middle-aged man with a fat nose, big lips, and a greasy forehead, walking towards him with a smile on his face.
With just a glance, Shun Long easily guessed that this was probably the man who had registered the mission, Ying Gui.
His cultivation was at the rank 1 of the Spirit realm, which wasn't impressive for soone of his age, but it was still the norm for a rchant who mostly focused on traveling around instead of fighting or cultivating.
Behind him was a huge middle-aged man, whose height probably exceeded 2.5 ters(8.2ft), dressed in battle armor while a big, silver axe was strapped on his back.
The visual difference between Ying Gui and this man who was following behind him made the gigantic man look even more imposing, deterring anyone who would even think of approaching close to him.
Even though Shun Long had also grown taller in the past 4 years, his height that had reached 1.8m(5.10ft) made him look like a kid in front of this man as well.
However, as Ying Gui approached Shun Long with a smile on his face, the robust middle-aged man frowned when he saw him.
