A mortal cultivating immortality can nurture spirit beasts.

Lin He suddenly stopped next to a street stall because the stall owner had put up a sign that read – "Selling low-level spirit beasts."

The stall owner was a young man in his thirties. There weren't many customers in the afternoon. He was reading a book about the Five Elements magic. Finally, a customer appeared, and he quickly put the book away and asked very enthusiastically.

"Fellow Daoist, are you looking to buy a spirit beast?"

Lin He nodded, and the young man was overjoyed. He pointed to several cages beside him, where five low-level spirit beasts were kept.

Seeing that Lin He seemed quite interested in looking at the cage, the young man immediately perked up and began to explain at length.

"This first one is a level one low-rank demon beast, the Mountain Pusher. Don't be fooled by its appearance, which is similar to a wild boar. It can use the Stone Skin Technique, which gives it amazing defensive capabilities. In critical moments, it can even take damage for its master and save lives."

Lin He nodded. The mountain-pushing beast in front of him was only a first-level lower-tier beast, but he had two first-level peak-tier beasts on his hands, which he used as meat shields.

Seeing that Lin He's gaze skipped over the Mountain-Pushing Beast, the young man frowned and had no choice but to continue explaining the second one.

"This spirit beast is named Wind Howling Eagle. Although it currently only has a mid-level first-tier cultivation, it can be responsible for tasks such as guarding, searching, and surveillance. It is an excellent low-level support spirit beast. In addition, it can also use wind blade techniques to assist in combat. What do you think, fellow cultivator?"

Lin He nodded upon hearing this. He had also bred two Wind Howling Eagles at the peak of level one. The main reason was that these spirit beasts could fly and perform various auxiliary tasks in mid-air. They could also use wind blades to assist in combat, making them all-around auxiliary spirit beasts. They were very practical, and the Qilin Pavilion in Huangfeng Valley had cultivated quite a few of these spirit beasts.

Seeing that Lin He only nodded and did not express any intention to buy, the young man frowned and couldn't help but feel a little worried, but he still continued his introduction.

"It seems that your requirements are quite high, fellow Daoist. Then this third spirit beast will surely meet your needs. Please take a look at this Azure Water Crocodile."

The Azure Water Crocodile is renowned among low-level spirit beasts, possessing extremely powerful water-attribute magic, making it undoubtedly the primary attacker. In the original novel, even facing a peak-level Azure Water Crocodile, Nangong Wan dared not be careless, and had to command a group of Hidden Moon Sect disciples to work together to kill it.

However, this Azure Water Crocodile was clearly not fully grown yet, and its cultivation level was only at the mid-level of the first stage. Its strength was greatly reduced at this level, which explains why it was captured by this stall owner who was only at the tenth level of Qi Refining.

The Azure Water Crocodile was renowned, so Lin He naturally wouldn't let it go. He also bred two top-level level 1 crocodiles, while ignoring this mid-level level 1 crocodile.

Seeing Lin He shake his head, the young man finally showed impatience. He even suspected that the man in front of him was doing it on purpose, so he said in a deep voice,

"Are you truly here to buy a spirit beast, or are you deliberately trying to make fun of me?"

Lin He smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be angry. I'm here to buy spirit beasts. I'll take both of your remaining spirit beasts."

"Hmm?" Hearing Lin He's promise, the young man's expression improved somewhat. He pointed to the remaining two spirit beasts and said with a hint of pride,

"Fellow Daoist, you certainly have a good eye. It took me a full half month to catch these two Icefire Wolves."

Looking at the two ice-fire wolves in front of him, Lin He couldn't help but marvel. These wolves were very strange. One half of their bodies was burning hot, while the other half was extremely cold. The two contradictory energies had miraculously merged into one body, which was truly incredible.

The Icefire Wolf is more well-known, even more so than the Azure Water Crocodile. This is simply because the Icefire Wolf has extremely strong attack capabilities, capable of casting both fire and ice spells. However, its weakness is also very prominent: its defense is too poor.

Lin He had been searching for the Icefire Wolf all along, but he hadn't been very lucky and hadn't encountered it. Today, however, his luck had turned around, and he happened to run into it, so naturally he couldn't give up.

These two Icefire Wolves were only mid-level level one. If others encountered them, they would probably have to consider whether it was worth it. But for Lin He, who could nurture spirit beasts, it was a great bargain.

There is still more than a month before the forbidden area trial, which is enough time to raise these two ice and fire wolves to the peak of level one, which will greatly enhance his strength.

"Fellow Daoist, name your price."

Seeing Lin He's decisiveness, the young man quickly raised the price, saying, "Fellow Daoist, you don't know how much I suffered to capture these two Icefire Wolves. These two Icefire Wolves are priced at sixty spirit stones. What do you think, Fellow Daoist?"

"Sixty spirit stones?"

Lin He sneered, "You're treating me like a sucker, aren't you? A low-grade level one spirit beast only costs eight to ten spirit stones, and you dare to sell a mid-grade level one for thirty spirit stones?"

"Fellow Daoist, you can't calculate it that way. Don't you know how famous the Icefire Wolf is? In terms of attack power alone, it ranks among the top low-level spirit beasts. Otherwise, you wouldn't have made up your mind to buy it."

"Even with a great reputation, your strength at the mid-level is only equivalent to a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator, which greatly reduces its practicality."

After some haggling, the two finally agreed on a price of twenty-five spirit stones. Lin He looked rather pained as he paid the other party fifty spirit stones, which made the young man very happy.

Seeing the shop owner's happy expression, Lin He felt even more joy than he did, but on the surface he still pretended to have spent a fortune, which was a performance to avoid revealing his wealth.

Although there aren't many cultivators around here, if Lin He casually spends fifty spirit stones and acts as if it doesn't matter, he might fall into the trap of someone with ulterior motives. After all, this world doesn't really have any laws.

Lin He has eight top-level level one demonic beasts in his personal space. If he goes all out, he can even fight against a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the early stage. However, he tries to avoid trouble as much as possible. He is not a battle maniac and does not like to fight meaningless battles.

Actually, according to Lin He's previous plan, he did not intend to let go of any of these five spirit beasts, but now he did not want to waste spirit stones to buy them, because there were plenty of wild demon beasts in the forbidden area trial.

Just as Lin He was about to leave, he heard a commotion coming from a nearby street stall.

"Can't you sell me this Vajra Talisman for eight spirit stones? It's only one spirit stone less, is it really necessary to be so stingy?"

"No, it has to be nine spirit stones, not even one less!"

A short, stout young man got into an argument with a thin shop owner, all because of a Vajra talisman.

"Outrageous! You really don't know who I am?" the short, stout youth roared angrily. "I am from the Liu family of Yuanwu Kingdom. Do you know the consequences of angering me?"

The skinny shopkeeper sneered, "The Liu family? What a joke. Your Liu family has long since fallen on hard times. You don't even have a single Foundation Establishment cultivator left. You're just a handful of weaklings. And you're still showing off here? If you can't afford the spirit stones, then get out of here and don't delay my business."

"You..." the short, stout youth roared, "My Liu family ancestors had connections with masters. You just wait, one day, our Liu family will reclaim everything we've lost."

The short, stout young man left the market in a rage. After he left, four more cultivators emerged from different places and headed in the direction he had gone.

Lin He watched all this silently, but chose not to follow. Instead, he touched his storage bag and pondered.

"It seems that what Senior Brother Liu said was true. These people who followed behind must have been trying to seize the Liu family's token. Now that the token is in my hands, there's no need to cause any more trouble."

Thinking of this, Lin He did not follow, but instead headed straight for Wanbaolou.
