Chapter 829 - Nature Of Magical Beasts
Chapter 829 - Nature Of Magical Beasts
"Uhh… The especial category, I guess?" Yuan responded after pondering for a few moments.
"very well".
The man pushed the other three books to the side before placing the especial category in front of Yuan.
"Here you go, buddy. Take your time."
Yuan opened the book and began flipping through the pages, and he could see names of magical beasts and painted pictures of them on each page.
He didn't recognize any of these magical beasts, mostly because he hasn't really encountered any magical beasts since he arrived in Spirit Heaven.
However, judging by their appearance and description, most of these magical beasts appeared to be quite powerful.
"By the way, I should let you know in advance that these magical beasts are all matured. If you wish to look for immature magical beasts, you'll have to visit our action house."
Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why does it matter if they're mature or not?"
The man chuckled and said, "It matters a lot. Mature magical beasts are more difficult to control and train while immature magical beasts will give you a much easier time. Also, if you properly narture an immature magical beasts until their maturity, they will be much more powerful than a magical beasts that raised itself in the wild. This is why most people prefer immature magical beasts."
A few minutes later, Yuan closed the book and shook his head, "Sorry, but i am not interested in these magical beasts;"
"Don't worry, we have a lot more magical beasts in the other categories. In fact, the special category has the least choices due to their rarity. Also, just because they are rare doesn't make them more powerful. There are magical beasts in the other categories that are extremely powerful."
"Thank you for the offer, but I don't think my decision will chance even if I look at the other categories." Yuan shook his head.
"I see…"
The man took back the books before putting them away.
"Anyways, if you ever chance your mind, you know where to find us. We have new magical beasts almost every week. If you're looking for immature magical beasts, you should give our action house a visit. Its only a couple of street away.
"Okay." Yuan nodded.
He left the place shortly after and began wandering the city again.
"Yingying, I must ask, how do you feel about cultivators capturing magical beasts and selling them?" Yuan suddenly asked her.
He was worried that she might be feeling disgusted by such a business. After all. she is technically a magical beasts as well, and it would be akin to watching her own people being sold.
"You don't have to worry about me, I don't feel anything about it." Lan Yingying responded in a calm voice.
"Even though we are all technically magical beasts, we do not see each other like humans see other humans."
"For humans, regardless of your background, you are still considered as humans, and you are able to feel empathy towards other humans, but that is not the case for us magical beasts, as we see other races as a different species."
"In fact, we do not feel intimacy even towards our own race."
"The most important thing to magical beasts are their connections with one another, just like my connection with you."
"I wouldn't feel anything if a stranger died before my eyes, but I would feel pain if I saw you hurt. That's just how all magical beasts function, and that is precisely why we don't care if cultivators capture or hunt other magical beasts."
"In fact, magical beasts also hunt other magical beasts for their cultivation, so we have no right to judge humans for their actions."
"I see…"
Although Yuan was relieved that Lan Yingying wasn't affected by the magical beasts store, he also didn't know that to think about how magical beasts treat each other.
Sometime later, Yuan stopped before a store that sold treasures.
"I don't really need any treasures, but the others would find them useful… However, I don't know that kind of treasures to get for them…"
Yuan pondered about what kind of treasures he sould get for Wang Ming and the others.
eventually, he decided to just give them the resources to buy the treasures themselves.
About two hours later, Feng Yuxiang returned to his side.
"I apologize for keeping you waiting, Young Master." She said to him the moment she got back.
"You don't need to apologize for everything, Feng Feng." Yuan said with a smile.
"How was it? Was she satisfied?" He then asked
"I think so." She nodded.
"That's good"
"What should we do now, Young Master? Shall we start making our way towards the demon's valley?"
"Not yet. I need to meet with my companions back at the hotel first, then we'll make our way to the demons'Valley."
"I understand"
Thus, they started their journey back to the original city.
That night, Yuan said to the others, "I have some things to give you all. Meet me at the square tonight. It won't take long."
After dinner, everybody returned to their room and logged into Cultivation Online.
They all gathered at the square and waited for Yuan to arrive.
"I will be busy for a while, so I want to give you these before I leave." Yuan handed each of them a storage pouch
"Can we open it now?" Wang Ming asked
"Go ahead." Yuan nodded
They all opened the storage pouch to find 10,000 spirit stones inside.
"10,000 spirit stones?! That's worth 100 million gold coins" Are you sure you want to giv this much money to us?" Shi Lang was shocked.
"It's really not that much, but it should be more than enough to assist you and your cultivation until you reach Spirit Master."
"Also, I plan on ascending to the next realm soon." He suddenly said.
"What? Already? it hasn't even been that long since you came here." Wang Ming asked.
"I'm almost a Spirit King, my cultivation will improve very slowly if I remain in this realm, hence my decision."
"I see…"
