Eternal Beast Taming Family

Chapter 50 Mysterious Golden Scales

After quietly admiring the medicinal field under the moonlight for a while, Chu Qinhui took Jiang Nian's hand and then conveyed his thoughts back to "Ginseng Baby" through mental connection.

Who knew that "Ginseng Baby" would express its refusal? It wanted to stay in this medicinal field tonight, which shows that it really likes spiritual plants with rich energy.

Chu Qinhui looked around. The night under the moonlight was very quiet, and this was the backyard of the Chu family compound. The potential dangers in the surrounding area had already been cleared away by Chu Jingyu countless times.

Therefore, Chu Qinhui did not force the "Ginseng Baby" to come back with him. Instead, he shook his head helplessly at it and said to his wife beside him, "Let's go."

"Where's the ginseng baby?" Jiang Nian looked at the fair-skinned little guy lying naked on the soil, not minding the dirt on his body at all.

"It likes it here and wants to stay, which is good for its growth."

Now the "ginseng baby's" head is buried under the soil, leaving only its bare bottom sticking out.

Jiang Nian rubbed her temples, thinking that she must sew some decent clothes for the little guy when she got back, as it was too unsightly for him to be naked all the time.

As the two walked along the wall, Jiang Nian seemed to remember something and said:

"The three source beast eggs that Father brought back, were the source beasts inside snakes?"

Chu Qinhui tilted his head, looked at his wife's face, which appeared particularly cold in the moonlight, and said with a smile, "No, no, no, what's inside is a python, a giant python that can grow to more than ten meters long."

Jiang Nian pinched her husband's arm when he suddenly became docile. "That's not what I meant. Anyway, it's a snake."

Chu Qinhui silently rubbed his arm, but his temperament remained unchanged. "What's wrong? Are you scared? Don't you like snakes?"

Hearing Chu Qinhui's words, Jiang Nian sighed softly, "It's not me, I'm afraid Xiaohan will be scared. Have you forgotten that Xiaohan was bitten by a rat snake three years ago? I'm afraid she still has psychological trauma."

Upon hearing Jiang Nian's words, Chu Qinhui's smile vanished, and his expression turned serious.

"That's quite possible. I'll ask her what she thinks tomorrow. If she really doesn't like it, she can take the hatched snake to town and exchange it for a Source Beast. We can't let her contract a Source Beast she doesn't like; that wouldn't be good for either her or the Source Beast."

Seeing her husband say this, Jiang Nian felt much more relaxed, but a hint of worry still lingered on her face. "But, what about Father..."

Chu Jingyu patted his chest, "I'll go talk to my father. He loves Xiaohan so much, he'll definitely agree."

Seeing her husband's confident demeanor, Jiang Nian smiled, but secretly sighed inwardly. She hoped that, as her husband had said, after living at home for so long, it was obvious that her father loved Xiao Yuan more than Xiao Han.

……

The next day, after breakfast.

Chu Qinhui packed the prepared items into a basket on his back, dressed like a herb gatherer in the mountains, and set off on the road to town.

However, his fair complexion and upright posture made it easy to tell that he was not a herb gatherer, but rather a rich young master in disguise.

Although Chu Qinhui is over thirty years old, he looks no more than twenty-seven or twenty-eight.

Upon arriving in town, Chu Qinhui went directly to Yaoxintang.

The apprentice working in the front hall today is not the familiar one from before, but someone else.

Although puzzled by Chu Qinhui's attire, he still stepped forward to greet him, "May I ask, young master, do you need a doctor or medicine?"

Chu Qinhui waved his hand, "No, I want to see your manager. I'm here to sell medicinal herbs."

The apprentice glanced into the basket on Chu Qinhui's back, then nodded with a smile, "Okay, I'll go tell my boss right away."

Two minutes later, the shopkeeper followed the apprentice over. Upon seeing Chu Qinhui, he quickly patted the apprentice on the head.

"You brat, this is the young master of the newly established Chu family. How can you treat him with such disrespect?"

Then he jogged over and gestured to Chu Qinhui, "Young Master Chu, please go to the flower hall and sit down."

Chu Qinhui waved his hand, "Manager Du, there's no need to go to so much trouble. I'm just selling some medicinal herbs and have other things to do, so it's not appropriate to take up too much time."

Chu Qinhui placed the basket on the table behind him, lifted the cloth covering it, and let the shopkeeper inspect the medicinal herbs inside.

The shopkeeper was no ordinary person either, and he immediately recognized the mortal-grade spiritual herbs among them. What made his eyes widen was the enormous horns of the "spirit rhinoceros".

The shopkeeper put the cloth back on, then pulled Chu Qinhui toward the back door of the counter. When they arrived at a flower hall, he impatiently lifted the cloth off the basket again.

They carefully removed the pair of "spirit rhinoceros" horns.

"If I'm not mistaken, these should be the horns of a Spirit Rhinoceros, a Spirit-Rank Origin Beast, and they've been tempered. What a treasure! What a treasure!"

"The shopkeeper has a good eye; I only found out what this thing was through my father's introduction."

The shopkeeper traced the rhinoceros's horn inch by inch with his fingers, then asked Chu Qinhui for confirmation, "Young Master Chu, are you really going to sell this horn?"

Chu Qinhui nodded affirmatively, "Shopkeeper, please give me a suitable price. Oh, and take a look at these golden scales too."

Reluctantly, Manager Du put down the spirit rhinoceros's horn and then picked up the scales to examine them carefully. However, the more he looked, the more his brows furrowed, as if he was very conflicted about what this thing in front of him really was.

He flicked his fingers across the surface of the scales, producing a crisp, ringing sound.

After a moment, Manager Du sighed, "Forgive my poor eyesight, but I can't tell what this is."

"Golden-scaled dragonfish scales, how did you get them, Xiao Qinhui?"

Chu Qinhui and Manager Du both looked towards the entrance of the flower hall, where Sun Chunchen was standing with a smile.

Chu Qinhui did not hide the origin of the scale from Sun Chunchen, saying, "My father obtained it by chance when he went out from beyond the boundary."

"Your father is really lucky; he even managed to find these scales."

Sun Chunchen walked to the table, took the scale in his hand, and examined it carefully for a moment. "What a pity. This golden-scaled dragonfish only has some remaining scales from when it was about to transform into a Domain-level creature."

However, the dragon energy mentioned above can also cause some lower-level fish creatures to possess dragon energy, giving them the potential to evolve into higher-level dragons. Are you really going to sell it?

Upon hearing Sun Chunchen's description, Chu Qinhui's mood immediately stirred. He never expected that this tiny scale would have the potential to allow other low-level fish-type source beasts to evolve into dragons.

Even though Chu Qinhui had only been a contract master for a short time, he knew that dragon-type source beasts often meant powerful beings, belonging to the kings and emperors among their peers.
