Professionals of the Starry Skies - Chapter 536

[Chapter 536 Transaction]

Chapter 536: Transaction
“If I release a standard bronze cub, perhaps many black iron quality natal beast riders will be tempted…”

Fang Xing looked at the appraisal result given by the Bronze Heart Sutra and nodded.

For those riders whose innate mind is only of black iron quality, it does not mean that they can only stay at the soldier level for their entire lives.

Although the natal heart beast cannot break through to the general level without a great opportunity, other heart beasts that are tamed can naturally break through to the soldier level as long as they are of bronze quality.

Of course, there are certain dangers in doing this.

Because when the rider controls the foreign beast, he basically relies on his own natal beast to subdue it.

Once the natal beast is weaker than the alien beast, if the other party suddenly rebels, even the guardian aura cannot resist it, and it may be killed by the alien beast!
Therefore, it is very dangerous for the driver to rashly subdue an alien beast that is higher than the level of his own natal beast.

Of course, if it is a cub that has been raised since childhood, the relationship between the two parties may be very good. Compared with the natal beast, it is not much different except that they cannot share the guardian aura.

Guardian skills are unique to the natal beast.

This kind of heart beast that is tamed later, no matter how high the harmony is, is unlikely to add a layer of protective aura to the master.

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

All in all, this giant earth bear cub can still be sold for a good price.

Many soldier-level and general-level chariot drivers will be attracted by it.

“Okay, let’s go.”

Fang Xing closed the Bronze Heart Sutra and rode on Erha: “It’s time to leave…”

The main reason he came this time was to plunder resources and find a beast that suits his taste.

However, he didn’t see anything that excited him, so he had to go to the Temple of Heart to take a look.

Shortly after Fang Xing left, a gust of wind blew by.

In the midst of the violent wind, there is a ferocious beast.

It is somewhat similar to a white tiger, but has two long sharp teeth. It is an upper lord-level ferocious saber-toothed tiger!

After the heart beast enters the lord level, it has an extremely strong sense of territory.

This saber-toothed tiger was obviously alarmed by the disappearance of the heart beasts in the territory in recent days.

This means that a predator has arrived. Generally speaking, when encountering this situation, they must hunt each other, and only one can survive.

With more than 700 years of cultivation of this ferocious saber-toothed tiger, Erha is definitely no match for it.

Even though its quality is extremely high, the huge gap in cultivation is still difficult to make up.

Fortunately, Fang Xing also knew this and had no plans to promote Erha to the lord level immediately.

Although Erha is of extremely high quality, he has just broken through to the general level and has been promoted to a cultivation level of more than 90 years. He is already a little “full” and needs to digest it well.

Therefore, he decided to leave, and at the same time avoid being targeted by the lord-level heart beast.

I have to say that Fang Xing’s decision was just right.

Otherwise, if he faced this ferocious saber-toothed tiger, even if he could eventually escape, he would definitely be humiliated.

…

Green Forest City.

The Temple of the Heart.

Coming here again, Fang Xing felt quite complicated.

He entered the church and saw the tall glass dome, the stone pillars standing around it, and the statue of the ‘Lord of the Heart’.

According to the teachings, the Lord of the Heart is all that is in the heart and has no specific form.

Therefore, the statues carved by the worshippers are often very abstract. What is worshipped here is a white round ball, which looks a bit like a glutinous rice ball.

“Hello, young charioteer.”

Dugu Fang, wearing a priest’s robe, smiled and asked, “Is there anything I can help you with?”

“I have come to offer sacrifice to the Lord of Heart, and would like to enter the trading area behind the temple.”

Fang Xing took out a piece of gold, which looked to weigh five taels.

“The Lord of Heart will bless you.”

Dugu Fang smiled slightly, accepted the believers’ offerings, and asked a priest to lead the way.

When Fang Xing arrived behind the church, he saw a square.

There are several stately buildings built on both sides of the square. In addition, there are some charioteers who set up stalls directly in the square, but there are very few traders.

“Most of them are soldiers, even generals are rare…”

Fang Xing took a glance and shook his head.

Before entering Green Forest City, he of course let Erha continue to hide his cultivation, and now he looks like a soldier-level controller.

After a quick identification, he first walked into a building with a plaque with golden copper coins on it.

This is a money shop, and it also purchases precious materials related to the imperial guards.

“Mr. Royal Master, what brings you to our Datong Bank?”

When a shopkeeper saw Fang Xing coming in, he immediately saluted with his fists clasped and smiled kindly.

“Sell some resources.”

Fang Xing put down the bamboo basket and took out a few things.

“Is this… ‘Blood Orchid’? ‘Star Iron’? And ‘Jade Honey’?”

The old shopkeeper rubbed his left eye. Above his eye, he was wearing a monocle.

Seeing Fang Xing’s gaze, he couldn’t help but smile: “Excuse me, dear guest. This is my natal beast – Arc Mirror. Although it is not very powerful in combat, it is quite useful in identification… Your ‘Blood Orchid’ is ninety years old and worth one hundred taels of gold… Star Iron weighs three catties and six taels, and can be sold for eighty taels of gold… The last ‘Jade Honey’, how about a bottle of ten taels of gold?”

“The price is fair.”

Fang Xing nodded, agreeing to the deal.

In fact, he still had these materials in his hands, and most of them were taken away for the jade honey alone. It was impossible for them to be traded in one place.

What’s more, bronze quality dog food is hard to find, so jade honey can be used as a substitute first.

“Okay, the total is two hundred and twenty taels of gold. Would you like gold or gold notes?”

The old shopkeeper laughed.

Fang Xing knew that in Lusen City, one tael of gold was worth ten taels of silver, and one tael of silver could buy one hundred kilograms of rice.

These two hundred taels of gold would cost even the Fang family in Sanshan Township a lot of money.

“The higher the rank of the charioteer, the more money they make. Of course, they also spend more…”

He replied, “Just the gold notes… Your Datong Bank has a head office in the City of Heart, so its reputation is pretty good.”

The old shopkeeper smiled even more broadly and gave Fang Xing twenty-two gold notes.

These gold notes are worth ten taels each, with a light gold surface, thick and crisp paper, and a special feel to the touch.

Fang Xing even felt some special power, probably the anti-counterfeiting mark.

Being able to open money houses in various parts of the Heart Realm, it is obvious that there is a powerful force behind the Datong Bank.

Even at the king level, it’s not enough.

“By the way, I heard that you have a lot of channels and can reserve some powerful Heart Beast cubs or Heart Beast eggs?”

After the transaction, Fang Xing asked casually, “Are there any commander-quality ones?”

“This… Commander-quality heart beasts are very popular, especially cubs. Although our bank accepts reservations, this service is only provided to higher-level partners…”

The old shopkeeper said with some embarrassment: “As a distinguished guest, perhaps you can reserve a few black iron and bronze quality cubs first?”

With commanding qualities, you will grow up to be a lord.

Anyone in Green Forest City can challenge the city lord, so naturally they are strictly controlled.

Fang Xing nodded to show his understanding, walked out of the bank and came to the square.

“The best battle pet food… all of it is ‘blood tooth rice’ that is full of blood!”

“Skill book… the skill book ‘Tearing Claws’ that was circulated in the Heart Temple… only fifty taels of gold!”

“Heart beast eggs, heart beast cubs… Black iron quality heart beast cubs are sold at a low price…”

“This battle robe is woven by the Weaver Driver himself. It is made of ‘Water and Fire Silk’, which is waterproof and fireproof… It is definitely a must-have for outdoor travel…”

…

At this time, there seemed to be more people in the square, and the vendors who were shouting had more strength, and their voices were a little louder than before.

Fang Xing looked at several stalls and shook his head.

“Sure enough, there are no good products on the street stalls… The quality is even worse than in the store. I thought I could get a bargain, but in the end I got hurt.”

He stood in front of a stall selling heart beast cubs, looking at those cubs that were listless and of average strength and appearance, and couldn’t help but shake his head.

“That’s terrible…”

“Compared to them, the Earth Bear I’m going to sell is quite extraordinary…”

However, a bronze-quality heart beast cub is indeed of extraordinary value, almost comparable to all his gains from this trip into the mountains.

“My dear driver, how about this ‘Mingling Cat’?”

When the sharp-nosed and monkey-faced stall owner saw Fang Xing stop, he immediately boasted about the Heart Beast on his stall to the highest level… as if it would be upgraded in quality in the next moment and become a king, an emperor, or even a legend…

“And these few ‘black-feathered crow eggs’, which I took out with great effort from a bird’s nest on a cliff…”

The stall owner probably knew that his goods were of poor quality, so he took out a few black bird eggs.

“It’s of black iron quality… and the Black Feather Crow is too small to carry people…”

Fang Xing shook his head.

He also knew that in such a small county, it was unlikely to find any top-quality heart beasts.

And in the Weather Team’s concept, Erha is the absolute core.

As long as he could have a large flying heart beast that was compatible with the realm of destruction, he would accept it even if it was of bronze quality. It was just a transition anyway.

Unexpectedly, the poverty of this small county town was even greater than he had expected.

“It seems… I’ll have to catch it myself.”

‘After replenishing, let’s go to Qinglong Mountain again…but this time we must avoid the area we visited last time.’

Fang Xing had read so many books in school that he naturally knew that the death of a large number of heart beasts in an area would definitely cause a chain reaction and attract lord-level strongmen.

Just as he was about to leave, another charioteer came to the entrance of the square.

The driver was in his forties and was wearing black clothes and a headband. Fang Xing did not recognize him.

Beside him was a one-eyed old wolf.

The old wolf had scars all over its body, one eye was blind, its fur was gray, and it looked a little miserable.

What’s more important is that when its only remaining eye saw Fang Xing, it actually stared at him straight.

“Huh?”

Fang Xing’s heart moved: “This one-eyed old wolf… seems to be a bit similar to the one that appeared in Sanshan Township… Fang Lianshan said in the letter that the old wolf was one-eyed and was subdued and taken away by a passing rider…”
