Chapter 919 Watching the Spirit Beast

"Is Master going to give us another brother or sister?" Bai Mei's voice, which sounded like she had drunk strong vinegar, came from the sky.

“Master only cares about the three of us, how could she be the kind of person you think she is?” Fei Xuan’s gentle and charming voice came, and Jiang Ran felt that there was a hint of tea in it.

"Heh." Mo Sheng remained silent, only letting out a cold laugh.

Jiang Ran paused, not bothering to argue with the three who seemed to have taken the wrong medicine.

She really had no intention of taking in any other contracted spirit beasts.

It is said that as long as one's mental strength is trained to the extreme, a spirit beast master can contract up to six spirit beasts.

Perhaps because she came from another world, the aptitude crystal could not detect her cultivation talent and spiritual power.

Jiang Ran felt that she cultivated the strength and purity of her mental power with ease, but it seemed that she was restricted by her body, as if it were a seal that limited the excess mental power.

She felt very relaxed when she made a contract with Fei Xuan, and it seemed that making a contract with other spirit beasts would not be a problem. However, she also had to consider the feelings of Bai Mei and other beasts, so she did not have any intention of making a contract with other spirit beasts for the time being.

Of course, contracting a spirit beast is one thing, but whether or not to buy a spirit beast with potential is another.

Fortunately, Bai Mei and the others only didn't want to have an extra contracted spirit beast partner out of nowhere; otherwise, they wouldn't impose too many restrictions on Jiang Ran.

Zhou Yixiao was unaware of what had happened in Jiang Ran's spiritual realm. She seemed quite interested, her clear eyes constantly scanning the spirit beasts of Wang Ji Beast Shop. She had inherited a method of identifying beasts from her elders, and she actually managed to pick out a few spirit beasts.

“This spirit beast is a rare magical beast in the Cloudfall Land, and its aptitude is quite good. I plan to buy it and raise it myself.” Seemingly feeling that she had been too busy looking at the spirit beast and hadn’t spoken to Jiang Ran for a long time, Zhou Yixiao was afraid that she had neglected Jiang Ran, so she would go to Jiang Ran’s side from time to time to talk to her.

"It has an extremely elegant and beautiful appearance; it is an Ice Feather Sparrow from the northern icy plains." Jiang Ran recognized the spirit beast that Zhou Yixiao was referring to.

Zhou Yixiao's eyes brightened slightly, seemingly surprised that Jiang Ran could identify the spirit bird so quickly, and even tell her where it lived. "Yes. This spirit bird is very beautiful, and if you raise it well, it will be very affectionate."

The Ice Feathered Bird is relatively small in size. From its appearance, it is more of an ornamental mythical beast. Its eyes are like cold stars, and its beak is like ice crystal. Each of its feathers looks as if it were polished from polar ice, with serrated ice ridges on the edges. When the sunlight shines on it, the tips of its feathers reflect seven colors of ice light, as if a handful of broken diamonds have been scattered.

Don't underestimate this beautiful bird just because it looks beautiful. It is extremely fast, flapping its wings silently, and its flight path is like a flowing, icy blue lightning bolt, fleeting and extremely difficult to catch.

Perhaps because they had left the cold north, the hot climate of Mingxiao City made the Ice Feather Sparrows feel uncomfortable, and most of them seemed a little listless.

"Did you ask the price? How much is it?" Jiang Ran asked.

Zhou Yixiao nodded slightly. "The other party's asking price wasn't cheap, but it didn't exceed my budget." The best breeding environment for Ice Feather Sparrows is in cold regions. Although Cloud Grief Land has winter, there aren't any decent icy spiritual lands. Jiang Ran didn't know where Zhou Yixiao planned to breed these spirit birds, but she figured she had her own methods. Perhaps she had a method to simulate the myriad environments, just like the Purple Cloud Palace, so she didn't worry about these things.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran and Zhou Yixiao went to select the Ice Feather Sparrow.

At Wangji Beast Shop, all the same type of spirit beast cubs are priced the same, and they are placed in cages for customers to choose from.

However, individual spirit beasts vary. Some are strong and have good aptitude, while others are weak and have poor talent. Merchants, naturally driven by profit, sometimes deliberately mislead customers into buying spirit beasts with slightly lower aptitude.

Although Zhou Yixiao is young, she has a sharp eye for identifying beasts.

The blue-collar beast guard was initially pleased to see someone want to buy a spirit beast, but his expression changed slightly when he saw that Zhou Yixiao had selected five Ice Feather Sparrows, all of which were of excellent quality.

Just as I was about to say something to Zhou Yixiao, I saw someone next to the customer point to an ice-feathered bird in a cage and say, "Take that one too."

When the beast guard looked inside, he was amused. It was a bald sparrow. This ice-feathered sparrow was quite large, clearly a spirit sparrow over a year old. However, even at a year old, its feathers were still bald, indicating that its aptitude was either average or even poor.

Unexpectedly, this buyer has a good eye, but his friend is so indiscriminate in distinguishing between good and bad. If only we could persuade this person to buy a few more spirit beasts, it would be a great achievement for Wangji Beast Shop to get rid of a few weak and unsellable spirit beasts.

The blue-collar beastman had a sudden thought and gave his partner a wink.

Zhou Yixiao glanced at the Ice Feather Sparrow that Jiang Ran had chosen, and without asking any further questions, said, "Okay, take it with you."

Zhou Yixiao bought seven Ice Feathered Birds, only three of which were male. She wanted to look at other spirit beasts, and a female animal caretaker immediately approached with a smile, "Which other spirit beasts would you like? You can tell me. Take a look over here..."

Jiang Ran watched as Zhou Yixiao was led away by the people from Wangji Beast Guard, then lowered her eyes and looked at the blue-collar beast guard who approached her with a wistful expression, "Aren't you interested in the spirit beasts of our Wangji Beast Guard?"

“I don’t know much about spirit beasts.” Jiang Ran smiled. The blue-collar beast guard blinked. For some reason, he felt a chill when this ordinary-looking woman smiled, as if he vaguely felt some danger. But when he looked up again, it seemed to be just his imagination.

The blue-collar beast calmed himself down and decided to continue with his plan to trick the man into buying the weak spirit beast. So he looked around nervously, leaned close to Jiang Ran's ear, and whispered as if he were telling her a secret, "I see that you and your friend bought so many spirit beasts from our Wangji Beast Shop at once. I'd like to offer you a little favor. Let's see if you can handle it."

Jiang Ran glanced at Zhou Yixiao and realized that it seemed like the other party would take quite a while, so she decided to see what this blue-collar animal protection officer was up to and said, "Tell me."

Seeing that the person had taken the bait, a smug smile flashed in the blue-collar beast protector's eyes, but his tone became even more obsequious and respectful. "Actually, we have a litter of spirit beast cubs that we didn't bring to this Golden Gathering to sell because they're too young. We were afraid that the customers at the gathering might pick them over and accidentally hurt them—after all, even the most powerful spirit beasts are weak in their infancy. This litter of cubs are spirit beasts that our beast guild is focusing on. Our guild leader said that these spirit beasts have unlimited potential, and any one of them could reach the Sea of ​​Consciousness Realm."

As he spoke, he led Jiang Ran toward the edge of Wang Ji's beast shop.
