Chapter 637: Chapter 535 Transaction

"A standard bronze cub, releasing it might entice many Black Iron quality Lifebound Heart Beast Tamers..."

Fang Xing looked at the appraisal result given by the Bronze Heart Image Sacred Scripture and nodded.

For those tamers whose Lifebound Heart Image is only of Black Iron quality, it doesn’t mean they are doomed to linger at the soldier level for life.

Although the Lifebound Heart Beast can’t achieve a major breakthrough to the general level without great opportunity, other heart beasts captured, as long as they are of bronze quality, can naturally exceed the soldier level.

Of course, doing so poses a certain level of risk.

Because tamers usually rely on their Lifebound Heart Beast to subdue foreign heart beasts.

Once the Lifebound Heart Beast is weaker than the foreign heart beast, if the latter suddenly rebels, it might not even be able to withstand the guardian Spirit Light, and could be killed by a single strike from the foreign heart beast!

Thus, recklessly capturing a foreign heart beast that surpasses one’s Lifebound Heart Beast level is a very dangerous endeavor for tamers.

Of course, if it’s a cub raised from a young age, maybe their bond is strong, which is comparable to the Lifebound Heart Beast, apart from the inability to share protective Spirit Light.

Guarding skill is a unique skill of the Lifebound Heart Beast.

These kinds of heart beasts captured later, no matter how strong their bond, are unlikely to add another layer of guardian Spirit Light for the master.

However, if there are other defensive skills, they can certainly be added to the tamer.

In summary, this Earthquake Bear cub can still fetch a good price.

Many soldier-level tamers and general-level tamers will be enticed by it.

"Alright, let’s go."

Fang Xing closed the Bronze Heart Image Sacred Scripture and mounted Er Ha: "It’s time to leave..."

The main purpose of his visit this time was to gather resources, along with seeking a heart beast that meets his expectations.

Unfortunately, nothing truly piqued his interest, so he could only go to the Heart’s Holy Hall for a look.

Shortly after Fang Xing departed, a violent gale blew over.

In the midst of the gale lies a ferocious beast.

It resembles a white tiger but has two long sharp teeth, a violent saber-toothed tiger of the Upper Lord level!

Upon reaching the Lord level, heart beasts possess extremely intense territorial awareness.

This saber-toothed tiger was clearly alarmed by the recent successive disappearances of heart beasts within its territory.

This indicates the arrival of a predator; generally, in such situations, hunting each other is inevitable, with only one left alive.

With this violent saber-toothed tiger’s cultivation of over seven hundred years, Er Ha is certainly no match.

Even though its quality is extremely high, the huge gap in cultivation remains unbridgeable.

Fortunately, Fang Xing was aware of this too and didn’t plan to let Er Ha advance to Lord level immediately.

Though Er Ha’s quality is extremely high, it just broke through to the general level with over ninety years of cultivation; it’s already somewhat ’overextended’ and needs to digest properly.

Hence, he decided to leave, also to avoid drawing attention from Lord-level heart beasts.

One must admit, Fang Xing made the right decision.

Otherwise, facing this violent saber-toothed tiger, even if he could escape in the end, he would inevitably endure quite a beating.

...

Green Forest City.

Heart’s Holy Hall.

Returning here, Fang Xing’s mood was quite complex.

He entered the holy hall, seeing the high glass dome, the towering stone pillars around, and the statue of the ’Master of Heart’.

According to the doctrine, the Master of Heart is the Wanxiang of the heart and has no specific form.

Therefore, the sacrificial priests often sculpt very abstract statues; here, being worshipped is a white sphere, somewhat resembling a rice dumpling.

"Hello, young tamer."

Du Gu Fang, dressed in priest attire, smiled and said: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"I am here to offer sacrifices to the Master of Heart and would like to enter the trading area behind the holy hall."

Fang Xing took out a piece of gold, seemingly weighing five taels.

"The Master of Heart will bless you."

Du Gu Fang smiled slightly, accepted the devotee’s offering, and led the way with a priest.

Fang Xing arrived at the plaza behind the church.

The plaza had two rows of solemn structures built, and in addition to that, some tamers set up stalls directly in the plaza, though there were few traders.

’Most are soldier-level, even general-level is rare...’

Fang Xing glanced around and shook his head.

Before entering Green Forest City, he naturally let Er Ha continue concealing its cultivation, now looking like a soldier-level tamer.

After brief identification, he first walked into a building with a golden Copper Coin signboard.

This is a money bank that also purchases valuable tamer-related resources.

"Esteemed tamer, what brings you to our ’Great Link Bank’?"

A steward greeted Fang Xing upon entry, bowed courteously, and offered a friendly smile.

"Selling some resources."

Fang Xing put down a bamboo basket and took out several items.

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

The old shopkeeper rubbed his left eye, on which he wore a monocle.

Seeing Fang Xing’s gaze, he couldn’t help but smile slightly: "Please pardon me, dear guest. This is my lifebound heart beast — the Arc Light Mirror. Though it’s not strong in battle, it’s quite useful in appraisals... This ’Blood Orchid’ you have is ninety years old, valued at one hundred taels of Gold... The Star Iron weighs three jin and six taels, and can be sold for eighty taels of Gold... Lastly, how about ten taels of Gold for a bottle of ’Jade Honey’?"

"The prices are fair enough."

Fang Xing nodded, acknowledging the deal.

In fact, he still had more of these supplies in his hand, with more than half of the Jade Honey kept aside, he couldn’t possibly trade everything in one place.

Moreover, dog food of bronze quality is quite hard to find, so the Jade Honey could suffice for now.

"Alright, the total is two hundred and twenty taels of Gold. Does the esteemed guest prefer Gold or gold notes?"

The old shopkeeper asked with a smile.

Fang Xing knew that in Green Forest City, one tael of Gold was worth ten taels of silver, and one tael of silver could buy a hundred jin of rice.

These two hundred-plus taels of Gold would even be a hefty burden for the Fang family in Three Mountain Township.

’The higher the level of the Tamer, the more they earn, but they also spend a lot...’

He replied, "Gold notes will do... Your Da Tong Bank has branches everywhere in the Heart’s Domain, and its reputation is trustworthy."

The old shopkeeper’s smile widened as he handed Fang Xing twenty-two gold notes.

These gold notes were ten taels each, a pale golden color, with thick and sturdy paper, having a unique texture when touched.

Fang Xing even sensed some special power, likely an anti-counterfeiting mark.

To be able to establish banks throughout the Heart Realm, Da Tong Bank must have powerful backing.

Even for a King, it might not be sufficient.

"By the way, I’ve heard your channels are extensive. Can you pre-order some powerful heart beast cubs or heart beast eggs?"

After the transaction, Fang Xing casually asked, "Do you have any of commander quality?"

"Well... heart beasts of commander quality are in high demand, especially the cubs. Although our bank does accept pre-orders, this service is only for high-level partners..."

The old shopkeeper hesitated, "Perhaps with the esteemed guest’s status, you could pre-order a few black iron or bronze quality cubs first?"

Commander quality, once grown, reaches the level of an Upper Lord.

In Green Forest City, such beasts could challenge the City Lord, and are naturally strictly controlled.

Fang Xing nodded in understanding and walked out of the bank, stepping into the plaza.

"Top-quality war pet feed... all filled with abundant Qi, ’Blood Tooth Rice’!"

"Skill Book... the ’Tear Claw’ Skill Book, passed down from the Holy Hall of Heart... only fifty taels of Gold!"

"Heart Beast Eggs, Heart Beast Cubs... black iron quality heart beast cubs on sale..."

"Battle robes woven by the Tamer, using ’Water and Fire Silk’, resistant to water and fire... absolutely a must-have for outdoor travel..."

...

At this time, the crowd in the plaza seemed to have increased, the shouting of merchants grew louder than before.

Fang Xing looked over several stalls, shaking his head at each.

’As expected, there’s no good stuff on the stalls... The quality is even inferior to stores, trying to score a bargain here will end up in loss.’

He stood in front of a stall selling heart beast cubs, looking at the listless, mediocre cubs both in strength and appearance, shaking his head once more.

’Too disappointing...’

’Compared to them, the Earth Violent Bear I plan to sell is practically extraordinary...’

However, a bronze-quality heart beast cub indeed holds exceptional value, comparable to all his gains from this trip to the mountains.

"Hey there, Mr. Tamer, how about this ’Bright Spirit Cat’?"

The vendor, with a sharp chin and monkey-like cheeks, saw Fang Xing stop and immediately praised his heart beasts to the skies as if they would soon be promoted to Kings, Emperors, or even legends...

"And then there’s these ’Black Feather Crow Eggs’, which I got after risking my life on a cliff..."

Knowing his goods were not the best, the vendor pulled out a few shiny black bird eggs.

"Still black iron in quality... The black feather crow is too small, unable to carry a person for flying..."

Fang Xing shook his head.

He also knew that in such a small county, top-quality heart beasts were unlikely.

In his plan for a weather team, the husky was the absolute core.

As long as he could get a large flying heart beast that matched the Destruction Domain, even if it was bronze quality, he would accept it, as it would serve as an interim solution.

Unexpectedly, this small county was even poorer than he had anticipated.

’Seems like... I’ll have to catch them myself.’

’After some preparation, I’ll head to Azure Dragon Mountain again... But this time, I must avoid the previous area.’

Having read many books in school, Fang Xing naturally knew that a large number of heart beast deaths in an area would cause a chain reaction, attracting powerful Upper Lords.

Just as he was about to leave, another Tamer walked in at the entrance of the plaza.

This Tamer, around forty, wore a black tight suit and a headband, whom Fang Xing didn’t recognize.

Beside him was a one-eyed old wolf.

This old wolf was covered in scars, blind in one eye, with gray and white fur, looking quite pitiful.

More crucially, it fixed its only eye on Fang Xing.

"Oh?"

Fang Xing’s heart stirred, "This one-eyed old wolf... seems a bit like the one that appeared in Three Mountain Township... Fang Lianshan mentioned in his letter that the old wolf was one-eyed and was tamed and taken by a passing Tamer..."
