My beast taming system has absolutely no problems!

The elevator doors opened, and the space on the eighth floor was much larger than Xia Yu had expected.

Thousands of high-end spiritual materials are categorized by their properties and placed in transparent glass cabinets, with detailed labels and parameter descriptions at the bottom of each cabinet.

The air was filled with a complex aura that blended various spiritual materials.

Just as Xia Yu was about to take out a spiritual material from the nearest cabinet to begin "appraising" it, a soft, gentle voice came from the side.

"Excuse me, sir, we do not allow direct contact with the high-end spiritual materials here. If you would like to know more about a particular spiritual material, I can explain it to you."

Xia Yu thought for a moment, then took out the black card that Wang Linyan had given him from his pocket and handed it over.

The sales assistant took the card, glanced at it, and maintained her professional smile.

He then returned the card to Xia Yu with both hands and bowed slightly.

"Dear customer, please feel free to browse. If you need any assistance, I'm right here."

Xia Yu took it and nodded.

However, before they could browse for long, a woman in a dark blue business suit walked briskly from the end of the corridor.

She walked up to Xia Yu and stopped, bowing slightly.

"Hello sir, I am Lin Jinzhi, the person in charge of Canghe Society in Shanghai. What do you need from Canghe Society this time? Whether it is purchasing spiritual materials or customized services, I can coordinate it for you."

Xia Yu raised an eyebrow slightly.

He hadn't expected that the black card Wang Linyan had casually handed him would be so powerful.

It was enough to get a regional official to personally receive them.

Indeed, in the world of beast taming, nothing shines brighter than strength.

Xia Yu shook his head and said, "It's alright. I'm just here to buy some spiritual materials. I might be browsing for a while. You go ahead with your business, no need to entertain me specially."

Lin Jinzhi nodded readily and smiled, "Yes, sir. If you need anything, please feel free to have the sales assistant next to you notify me. You can freely view and try all the spiritual materials on the eighth floor. Have a pleasant shopping experience."

"Okay, thank you."

Xia Yu nodded in greeting and then ignored the thoughtful gaze of the person in charge behind him, strolling around this ocean of high-end spiritual materials.

Although Tongzi's isotope mapping is sometimes very abstract, such as calling Wang Linyan Mikoli.

But it's quite reliable when it comes to spiritual materials.

For example, the [Mysterious Water Drop] and the [Water Spirit Crystal Bead] not only have the same attributes, but also have similar appearance and effects.

Following this method, Xia Yu went to the earth-attribute spiritual material area to search for the [Earth Membrane].

what?

Why is the "Ground Film" item, which extends the duration of the playing field, considered a ground-type item?

Then let me ask you.

If the name contains the word "earth," how could it not be of the ground attribute?

and many more.

Why are Charizard, Gyarados, Aerodactyl, and Tropical Dragon not dragon-type?

Uh... mind your own business when it comes to dragons!

In short, after a search, Xia Yu successfully found a spiritual material called [Earth Spirit Foil] in the Earth-attribute area.

It looks like a thin metal sheet with an earthy sheen, and each sheet costs 12,800 Alliance Coins, which isn't too expensive.

Its effect is "to increase the pet's resistance to metal-type skills after consumption".

But the system indicated that it was a "large earth film", so Xia Yu ignored it and took ten pieces directly.

【Tough Spirit Fiber】was a Pokémon item that Xia Yu had never heard of before.

After thinking for a moment, he followed his intuition and went to the wood attribute area to search.

The good news is that this intuition was accurate again.

Xia Yu found a wood-attribute spiritual material called "Strong and Resilient Grass," but the system labeled it as "Tough Spirit Fiber."

The price was even cheaper, 9,800 per plant, and Xia Yu bought a whole bunch.

"Phew, only the Flame Orb is missing..."

Xia Yu glanced at the two materials already prepared in the shopping basket, breathed a sigh of relief, and then headed straight for the fire-attribute spiritual materials section.

The Flame Orb, as a spiritual material, needs no further explanation.

If the name contains "flame" and "jewel," then finding a red, round, fire-attribute spiritual material will most likely be the right match.

Xia Yu's eyes quickly scanned the red, round spiritual materials in the transparent glass cabinet, his first target being the red, round spiritual materials.

Soon, he selected a spiritual material that looked similar and was called [Blazing Flame Condensation Pearl].

I tried putting it in my system inventory, but there was no response.

Pass.

Xia Yu continued filtering, but several that seemed likely were not the [Flame Orb] he was looking for.

The series of setbacks made Xia Yu begin to have doubts.

Could it be that the [Flame Orb] is actually a water-attribute spiritual material?

Brother Tongzi shouldn't be that crazy, right...?

While thinking this to himself, Xia Yu noticed an irregularly shaped, crimson stone displayed in another glass cabinet.

Xia Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly walked over, ready to extend his hand.

A long, slender, fair finger pressed down on the crimson stone first.

Xia Yu has always felt that he is not a hand fetishist.

He probably prefers hanging out with porridge.

But that fair and slender jade hand was so beautiful that it made me want to transform into Yoshikage Kira.

But this is not critical.

Xia Yu quickly snapped out of his daze, looked at the owner of the hand, and spoke politely.

"Miss, may I take a look first?"

He didn't necessarily intend to buy it here; he just wanted to confirm whether the spiritual material was the [Flame Orb].

The owner of the jade hand turned to look at Xia Yu.

There was no reply, but a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Xia Yu was slightly taken aback.

Did I say something wrong?

In his previous life, Xia Yu had heard that many independent women had objections to the title "Miss". Was he encountering this situation himself today?

Fortunately, after a moment of surprise, the short-haired woman, whose face and hands were as beautiful as hers, shook her head, took a half step to the side, and gave her place to Xia Yu.

"It's okay, here you go."

Her voice wasn't as aloof and distant as Jiang Yuxi's; instead, it had a magnetic tone with a touch of languor.

His speaking speed was neither too fast nor too slow, with a slight upward inflection at the end of each sentence, making it very pleasant to listen to.

She glanced at the crimson stone and handed Xia Yu a pair of gloves.

"Use this to take it. The surface temperature of this spiritual material is very high. It's easy to get burned if you handle it directly with your hands."

"Thank you."

Without much thought, Xia Yu took the gloves, put them on, and took the irregularly shaped crimson stone out of the cabinet, holding it in his palm.

Even through the special gloves, a scalding hot sensation still travels to the palm.

[Flame Orb: If the Pokémon being held does not have any other status conditions, it will be inflicted with a "burn" status.]

Xia Yu's eyes lit up.

Just when things seemed hopeless, they found it.

He glanced at the price of the [Ember Stone], 156,800 each, not cheap.

Moreover, there was only this one lonely piece in the glass case; there wasn't even a spare.

Xia Yu thought for a moment, then put the Flame Stone back in the cabinet and returned the gloves to the beautiful woman.

"Thank you, you can have this one."

The woman raised an eyebrow in surprise and asked, "You don't need it?"

Her appearance is quite different from Jiang Yuxi's gentle and graceful classical beauty; she has a more upright and heroic air between her brows.

His eyebrows and eyes were slightly wide apart, his nose was high and straight, and his jawline was clean and sharp. Paired with short hair that was just past his earlobes and a well-tailored dark casual outfit, the way he raised his eyebrows actually made him look quite handsome.

This kind of appearance would be considered top-tier in the lesbian community.

Of course, he would also be very popular with the opposite sex who are attracted to tomboys.

"no need."

Xia Yu shook his head and said honestly, "I need more, so I'll buy it elsewhere."

This is not just politeness.

I've already bought so much of the [Earth Film] and [Resilient Fiber], I definitely need to prepare more of the [Flame Pearl].

The woman's words surprised Xia Yu slightly.

"If you want to buy a lot of Flamestones, you probably can't do it anywhere except at the Azure Union Company."

She explained, "This is a special spiritual material from the secret realm of Sakurajima's 'Land of the Dead,' which is almost monopolized by the Sora Company."

Xia Yu frowned slightly and asked, "So, besides this place, it's really hard to find Flamestone elsewhere?"

The short-haired, pretty woman shrugged coolly.

"The Sakurajima headquarters of the Canghe Company should have a lot of stock. Do you need me to get you some quota?"
