Chapter 44 Spiritual Beast
"Welcome to the home of spirit beasts!"

A scantily clad woman stood at the counter. With a professional yet warm smile, she greeted Shen He, who was hiding his face with a long scarf. "What can I do for you?"

Shen He lowered his eyes, glanced at the counter, and then said, "Five primary healing potions, five primary detoxification potions, and twenty primary physical strengthening potions."

"OK, just a second."

The girl nodded, wrote down the shopping list and turned away. Shen He also took this opportunity to look at other items.

This Spirit Beast House mainly sells potions, but there are also many other items, even spirit beast eggs for sale.

The so-called spirit beast eggs are not real spirit beast eggs, but spirit beast eggs made by spirit masters who capture various spirit beasts and seal them with special techniques.

Therefore, there are many types of spirit beast eggs, almost covering all, not limited to egg-laying spirit beasts.

Now you can see from the counter that there are crystal clear spirit beast eggs, which look like round crystals, with various spirit beasts sealed inside. Most of them are jackals, tigers, leopards and the like, but there are also a few rare and exotic beasts.

Compared with the Spirit Master, the strength of the Spirit Beast is very complicated to judge. In addition to the seven levels corresponding to the Spirit Master, the race, potential, and attributes of the Spirit Beast will also have a huge impact on the strength. Therefore, in addition to the levels, the Spirit Beast is also divided into "species levels".

Ordinary type, excellent type, elite type, leader type, king type, emperor type.

The species level not only affects the strength of the spirit beast, but also determines the growth and height of the spirit beast. For example, ordinary spirit beasts can only grow to the intermediate level at most, and there is almost no possibility of becoming a high-level spirit beast.

Li Taiyi's previous partner, the Ancient Dragon King, was an emperor-type spirit beast. He had enough potential to grow to the sixth level. After signing a contract with Li Taiyi and gaining the power of bravery, he broke through to the seventh level and became the pinnacle of the Yuling Continent's destiny spirit beast.

If the Ancient Dragon King is not dead, then even if he is reduced to his original form after his destiny is over, Li Taiyi can rely on it to start over, become a sixth-rank emperor-level spirit master, and have a place in this spirit control continent.

Unfortunately, it died, turned into ashes, and no body was left.

so now……

Most of the spirit beast eggs on the counter are of ordinary species, and a few of the superior species are also marked with astonishing prices.

Although Yin Nianyun gave him a considerable breakup fee, which was more than enough to buy an excellent spirit beast egg, Shen He still suppressed the idea.

"Here is your medicine, sir."

The girl returned to the counter and placed several boxes of medicine in front of Shen He: "A total of eighty-five low-level crystal coins."

Shen He nodded, took out a bag of low-level crystal coins from his waist, counted out eighty-five and handed them to the other party.

This crystal coin is a kind of strange mineral that stores the power called "Spirit Crystal". It can not only be absorbed and utilized by spirit beasts, but also used to make potions and spirit weapons. It is the common currency of the Spirit Continent and can be circulated among civilians and spirit masters.

The breakup fee Yin Nianyun gave to Li Taiyi included more than a thousand intermediate crystal coins and several thousand lower-level crystal coins. As long as he didn't think about making a comeback, these crystal coins would be enough for him to find a remote city and live a rich life.

Shen He should thank her for this. If it weren't for the breakup fee, he might have to go into the mountains again and survive in the wilderness for a few more years.

The mountains in this world are not easy to climb!
Now that I have money, everything is easy.

Shen He put the potion into the Yuling Ring, then left the Spirit Beast House and went to the largest hotel in town.

"Intermediate room, open for three months, and send me 20 kilograms of cooked sand beast meat."

"Okay, guest, this is your crystal card."

"..."

In the room, in the bathroom.

Shen He took off his veil and looked at himself in the mirror. He had an unshaven beard and a haggard face. He looked like a decadent middle-aged man. Where was the high-spirited man he was three years ago?

The Destined Spirit Master has a destiny and grows at an extremely astonishing rate. According to Li Taiyi's memory, he became a low-level Spirit Master at the age of fourteen, obtained the Medal of Bravery at the age of eighteen, became a Destined Spirit Master at the age of twenty, and sealed the Dark Demon Beast at the age of twenty-two.

It was now the third year since Dark Devilmon had been sealed, which meant he was only twenty-five years old.

At the age of 25, he looked like this, which showed how decadent his life had been in the past three years.

But Shen He was very satisfied with this image because it just happened to conceal his identity.

After sitting in the room for a while, a waiter came and handed him the ordered sashimi meat.
The sand beast is also a spiritual beast, the lowest level of ordinary spiritual beast. Its appearance is similar to the black pig in Shen He's memory. Its specialty is that it can eat a lot and is not picky about food. Its meat is plump, tender and juicy. It is a mainly raised edible spiritual beast and is deeply loved by humans and carnivorous spiritual beasts.

Shen He put a piece of meat steak into his mouth. As expected, the meat was rich in aroma, tender and juicy, and had a hint of special power. In terms of nutritional value, it was even better than the tigers and leopards he had hunted in the mountains.

This is the spiritual energy, the spiritual energy contained in the flesh of the spiritual beast.

Unfortunately, humans do not make much use of it. Even if they eat it for a long time, it can only strengthen their bodies and turn them into human-shaped sand beasts. They still have no resistance to other carnivorous beasts.

In this world, the correct way for humans to utilize spiritual energy is to use the power of spiritual energy to strengthen their spirits, become a spirit controller, and then use spiritual power (the power of controlling spirits) to sign a contract with spirit beasts.

After the contract is signed, the spirit master will grow together with the spirit beast. The spirit beast's utilization rate of spiritual energy is much higher than that of humans, especially in terms of physical body. At this time, the spirit master can improve his physical strength by cultivating the spirit beast.

In other words, after signing the contract, the benefits that the spirit beast brings to the spirit master from eating meat are far greater than the benefits that the spirit master brings from eating meat himself, so many spirit masters would rather eat bread and drink cold water themselves than let the spirit beast eat and drink well.

The strengthening of the physical body is left to the spirit beasts, and the spirit master only needs to give full play to the characteristics of humans as the most intelligent creatures on earth and focus on improving the power of controlling spirits. The stronger the power of controlling spirits and the more spirit beasts contracted, the more significantly the physique and lifespan of the spirit master will be improved.

Although Shen He does not have a spirit beast now, he has the Yuan-Swallowing Technique, which is quite effective.

Soon, twenty kilograms of sand beast meat was swept into Shen He's stomach. A hot current rose in his stomach, spreading to his limbs and bones, nourishing his empty and weak body.

After signing the contract, the spirit master can grow together with the spirit beast, but if the spirit beast is harmed or even dies, the spirit master will also be affected.

Li Taiyi is an example. As a destined spirit master who grew up with the Ancient Dragon King, when he sealed the Dark Demon Beast, his physical strength was no less than that of an ordinary sixth-level spirit beast. It was easy for him to split mountains and crack rocks.

But with the death of the Ancient Dragon King, he also suffered great damage. In the end, not only did he lose the power of controlling spirits as a destiny spirit master, but his body, which was strong enough to rival a sixth-level spirit beast, was also beaten back to its original form, and he completely became an ordinary person.

In other words, the contract had a final guarantee, preventing the Spirit Master from dying. Otherwise, Li Taiyi might not have survived to this day. Feeling the spiritual energy flowing through his body, Shen He's eyes focused, and he immediately stood up and practiced Xingyiquan.

But he soon stopped, frowned, and looked surprised.

"The effects of Swallowing Yuan Gong and Xing Yi Quan have been weakened by as much as 50%?"

"Is it that this body's aptitude is insufficient, affecting its performance, or is it that this world has some special rules that restrict humans to cultivating only spiritual power, while spirit beasts can only cultivate physical strength?"

"If that's the case, then I have to buy a spirit beast egg tomorrow. The effect of my martial arts training is really too poor."

Shen He frowned, took out a potion and poured it into his mouth.

Primary physical strengthening potion!

As mentioned before, humans have extremely low efficiency in utilizing spiritual energy except for spiritual practice, so this physical strengthening potion is not for human use, but for animal use.

But Shen He still tried to drink one to see if it could improve the effect of his martial arts training.

result……

"A little, but not much."

"It seems I still have to rely on the power of spirit beasts, or open a profession and use the power of the profession panel to break through the limitations."

Feeling the effects of the medicine and the changes in his body, Shen He said something in secret and continued to practice Xingyiquan.

Although the effect of his martial arts training has dropped significantly, he still does not intend to give up. After all, one more method means one more confidence. As long as he can strengthen himself, even if it is a drop in the bucket, he can accumulate it into a lot.

But little by little, he doesn't intend to stick to one path, but to take a two-pronged approach.

and so……

The next morning, at the home of the spirit beast.

The coolly dressed girl appeared in front of Shen He again: "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

Shen He also got straight to the point: "Do you have any sand beast eggs?"

"Sand Beast?"

The girl looked at Shen He with a strange expression: "Is it an ordinary sand beast egg?"

Shen He understood her implication: "Is there anything unusual?"

"Of course."

The girl pointed to a spirit beast egg in the display case and said, "Ordinary sand beasts, apart from their fast growth rate and delicious meat, have no special features. They are the lowest-level meat-producing spirit beasts and are basically not chosen by spirit masters. Therefore, our store does not stock sand beast spirit beast eggs.

However, we have an egg of the Earth Sand Beast, which is a variant of the ordinary Sand Beast and belongs to a superior species. It not only grows faster and has a stronger physique, but can also mobilize the power of the earth. It is an excellent melee spirit beast.

If you sign a contract with it, the Spirit Master will not only gain its physical strength, but also the power of the earth, giving you a great advantage in ground combat. It's on sale now, only 10,000 low-level crystals."

The girl tried her best to sell this spirit beast egg to Shen He.

Shen He looked at the little black pig in the egg and asked, "How much does it eat?"

"This one……"

The girl hesitated for a moment. "Its appetite is over ten times that of an average sandbeast, but its growth rate and strength are also over ten times that of an average sandbeast. We're also giving away a thousand kilograms of sandbeast feed when you buy it now."

Shen He smiled: "Five thousand!"

"No, no, no!"

The girl shook her head repeatedly. "This is an excellent spirit beast. The minimum price is 15,000 crystal coins. Now it's selling for 10,000 crystal coins, which is already a great deal, not to mention we're giving away 1,000 kilograms of feed."

"Six thousand!"

"Nine thousand!"

"Seven thousand!"

"Eight thousand!"

"make a deal!"

After some bargaining, Shen He took the spirit beast eggs and the accompanying 1,000 kilograms of pig feed and walked out the door contentedly.

The girl watched him leave. Although she felt a little heartbroken and reluctant, she felt more relieved.

Thank God, I finally got rid of this money-losing item.

As a meat animal, the pig beast is naturally impeccable, but as a spiritual beast, it is useless.

It can only eat but not fight. Its skin is not rough and its meat is not thick. Its speed is very impressive. It has all the shortcomings in one.

Therefore, few spirit masters would sign a contract with them, even if they were superior species that had mutated. Otherwise, why would she sell them off at such a high price?

I don't know what this person is going to do with it after buying it. Is he going to use it as a meat shield, or as a breeding animal to improve the quality of meat livestock?
