Chapter 828 – Magical Beast Store
"I understand." Feng Yuxiang nodded.
Yuan turned to look at Yue Yin and asked her, "By the way, is there a Myriad of Techniques near the Demons' Valley?"
Yue Yin pondered for a moment before nodding her head, "Yes, there is a small town about 50 miles from the Demons' Valley. They have a Myriad of Techniques there."
"Thank you."
"However, I must warn you, that town is weird. Most people say it's due to the Demons' Valley that's leaking its chaotic energy outside, but there are many crazy people in that place. If you go there, try not to stay there for too long."
"I understand." Yuan nodded.
"Is there anything else you want to know about, Young Master?" Feng Yuxiang asked him.
"I have nothing else. We can leave," he said.
"Y-You're leaving already?" Yue Yin asked them.
"Yes, we have everything we need. But we'll return later for the Pill of Truth." Feng Yuxiang said.
"Unless you have something for us?"
"Well… I want to buy information from you, Benefactor Feng." Yue Yin said.
Feng Yuxiang raised her eyebrows in a questioning manner.
"What kind of information?"
"Information about my mother. I want to know about the time you spent with her."
"But I have to be with the Young Master…"
"It's okay, Feng Feng. Stay here and talk with her." Yuan quickly said.
"I'll look around the city by myself, and I still have Yingying with me. You can come back after you're done here."
"If you say so, Young Master…" Feng Yuxiang reluctantly nodded.
Thus, Feng Yuxiang stayed behind with Yue Yin while Yuan left the building by himself.
"Trust me, there isn't that much to talk about. I just happened to stumble on Yue Xin when she was in trouble and decided to save her. After that, I invested some money in the Moonlight Brokers so that I could also benefit from them. That's all." Feng Yuxiang said.
"Even then, I still want to hear about it— your time with my mother."
"Very well, but my time isn't cheap, especially when you're making me leave my Young Master's side."
Yue Yin nodded her head with a resolute face.
Feng Yuxiang sighed, and she began recalling her experience with Yue Xin to the best of her abilities, as it has been thousands of years since it happened.
Meanwhile, Yuan wandered Moonlight City aimlessly. Although it was a small city, it was incredibly active with shops left and right.
After walking for a few minutes, Yuan stopped by this store that immediately caught his interest the moment he laid eyes on it, and it was one of the biggest buildings on the street.
"Magical Beast Store?" Yuan raised his eyebrows.
"Yingying, do you know anything about this kind of business?" Yuan decided to ask her, who was a Divine Beast.
"Yes, there are people out there who make a living by capturing magical beasts to nurture and train before selling them to beast tamers. However, it wasn't that popular in the Mythic Realm, so it rarely happened." Lan Yingying responded.
"Beast Tamers… They are cultivators that fight with magical beasts as their companions, right? Does this make me a Beast Tamer?"
"You're technically a Beast Tamer since you have tamed two Divine Beasts, but you're nothing like a Beast Tamer since you don't ask us to fight for you, and you see us as more than just 'servants', which is something most Beast Tamers don't do."
"I see… I haven't really come across any Beast Tamers since I started cultivating. Are they that rare?"
"I'm not really sure about the Beast Tamers out here since I was born inside the Mystic Realm. However, they're not that popular within the Mystic Realm since it requires a lot of resources and effort to train a magical beast. Even if you form a contract with a magical beast, it doesn't necessarily mean that they'll listen to you."
"Furthermore, they still have to cultivate their own bodies even though their servants do most of the work. If you ask me, only wealthy cultivators would become Beast Tamers due to the amount of resources it requires."
"That makes sense…" Yuan mumbled.
In the end, Yuan's curiosity got the best of him, so he went inside the building to take a look.
'This isn't what I expected… It's quite clean in here…' Yuan thought to himself when he saw the interiors of the building.
For some reason, he expected the place to resemble an animal store, but he couldn't see any magical beasts on display.
"Hello, how may I help you?" A tall middle-aged man approached Yuan shortly after he stepped inside the store.
"I'm just looking around," he said.
"I see… Are you interested in magical beasts?" The man then asked.
"A little."
"Then have you ever thought about becoming a Beast Tamer? Beast Tamers are cultivators that command magical beasts on the battlefield."
"No, I have never thought about becoming a Beast Tamer." Yuan shook his head.
"Perhaps you might start thinking about it after today. Follow me, I will show you the magical beasts that we have in stock."
Yuan knew that the middle-aged man was trying to get him to buy a magical beast, but he didn't care and followed the man, as he was truly intrigued in the types of magical beasts that were being sold.
After following the man to the counter, Yuan watched as the man retrieved four books and placed them before him.
"We have four main categories for our magical beasts. Power, agility, flight, and special. Those in the power category are magical beasts with naturally high strength, but they come with slower speed most of the time."
"Magical beasts in the agility category are the opposite with lower strength but higher speed."
"The flight category should be self-explanatory. They're all magical beasts that can fly."
"As for the special category, they're mostly rare magical beasts that are hard to acquire. Which category would you like to see first?"
