The young Jade Scale Demon Spider was originally sleeping inside the Spirit Beast Cage, but upon seeing Qi Ping, it suddenly woke up.
Its entire body, carved from white jade, suddenly opened its eight tiny eyes, blinking at Qi Ping.
A curious and friendly aura also emanated from the body of the Jade Scale Demon Spider.
Qi Ping observed for a while and quickly concluded that his Beast King Druid could form a contract with this Jade Scale Demon Spider.
"It can be contracted... This little guy seems to have a decent temperant and is quite healthy..."
"It can be considered as an option..."
After confirming that the Jade Scale Demon Spider could be contracted without any issues, Qi Ping didn’t linger too long to avoid attracting attention.
At that mont, Boss Gao was negotiating the price of the Jade Scale Demon Spider with the store owner.
Qi Ping rely stood by quietly without joining the negotiations, as haggling was not his strong suit compared to Boss Gao.
In his view, as long as there was no issue with the Spirit Beast and the price was below or equal to the market rate, it was fine. How much profit Boss Gao could make from it was his business.
In essence, this matter was a win-win situation.
Qi Ping didn’t spend more than the market rate of Spirit Stones and gained valuable information about the Spirit Beasts most suited to him in the entire Cyan Stone Marketplace, paving the way for his future developnt. The benefits were self-evident.
anwhile, Boss Gao leveraged his information and channel advantages to earn a decent profit.
The discussions between Boss Gao and the store owner didn’t take long before they agreed on a final price: 1,380 lower-grade Spirit Stones.
After confirming the basic situation with the Jade Scale Demon Spider, Qi Ping quickly moved on to the second location.
In a fairly luxurious business association, Qi Ping saw the fluffy, extrely adorable Illusory Moon White Fox.
To be honest, the Illusory Moon White Fox was particularly cute when it was young.
It had a moon-shaped mark on its forehead, exuding an eye-catching radiance.
As soon as Qi Ping appeared, it tilted its head and blinked at Qi Ping, with deep within its pitch-black eyes seed to lie a hidden full moon.
"This little Illusory Moon White Fox appears to like too, but it seems a bit proud..."
"But after taking it back and persuading it for a few days, contracting shouldn’t be a problem..."
Qi Ping quickly made up his mind; this little Illusory Moon White Fox could also be contracted.
Not long after, Boss Gao concluded the negotiations with this large business association. The final price was set at 2,050 Spirit Stones.
The little Illusory Moon White Fox was indeed worth the price.
Then, Boss Gao took Qi Ping to the third location.
This ti, it wasn’t a business association but a private residence, belonging to a relatively young Artifact Refiner.
This Artifact Refiner had a muscular build and tall stature, resembling an iron tower, with a late-stage Qi Refining cultivation level, and his clothing bore the insignia of the Cyan Origin Sect.
Qi Ping and Boss Gao waited for quite a while before their host finished his artifact refining.
Coming here sowhat surprised Qi Ping; he hadn’t expected Boss Gao to have such connections, though it was not unusual for Boss Gao to manage this kind of relationship, given his stature in the Cyan Stone Marketplace.
"This Li Fire Crow was sothing I brought back from a Secret Realm in the Sect, but its bloodline was consud by a malignant creature there, causing its cultivation level to gradually fall to mid-stage Tier One..."
"Its temperant is quite nice, and by chance, it even indirectly helped defeat the malignant creature, so later I used a top-grade Tier One Warm Jade Fruit to save its life..."
"But since I am not a Beast Taming Cultivator, I intend to find it a suitable owner to help it recover; thus, to purchase it, the prerequisite is that this Li Fire Crow is willing to go with you..."
"Its original bloodline was quite dense; if it were in its pri, it could have been worth so four to five thousand Spirit Stones..."
This iron tower-like man was unexpectedly talkative; before Qi Ping and Boss Gao could ask anything, he had already begun sharing the story of the Li Fire Crow.
Before long, the group ascended to an attic where the Li Fire Crow the iron tower-like man spoke of sat sunbathing on the balcony.
It was an entirely pitch-black Li Fire Crow, slightly larger than a fist, with a fla-like mark on its forehead.
Under the blazing sun, streaks of the Power of the Great Sun were gently flowing into the black body of the Li Fire Crow.
However, upon Qi Ping’s arrival, the Li Fire Crow’s action of absorbing the Power of the Great Sun suddenly paused. Its lively head turned to gaze at Qi Ping with so curiosity.
It imdiately realized that the man was here to find it a new owner.
But it wasn’t interested!
"Hmm?"
"This biped?"
The Li Fire Crow instantly sensed sothing different; this biped seed sowhat unusual...
Hence, it actively flew over to Qi Ping, scrutinizing him closely...
This scene surprised the iron tower-like man.
This was the first ti such a situation had occurred.
Previously, several people had co to see it, but the Li Fire Crow didn’t pay any attention to them.
Yet now, as soon as Qi Ping entered, the Li Fire Crow flew directly to him, seeming quite fond of him.
Qi Ping was also slightly taken aback, looking at the Li Fire Crow before him.
"What a clever creature!"
Just a glance was enough for Qi Ping to see that the Li Fire Crow was exceptional. If it could be contracted as an Animal Companion, its potential would be extraordinary.
Qi Ping had a favorable impression of crows.
In the mythology of his past life, the Golden Crow was a divine bird; in reality, crows are monogamous and dutiful, eating harmful insects, contrary to the common belief of being ominous ons.
Upon seeing this Li Fire Crow, Qi Ping decided to contract this creature before him.
Moreover, Qi Ping sensed that his Beast King Druid perception was more approving of this Li Fire Crow.
"It seems quite interested in you!" The iron tower-like man remarked with a hint of surprise before adding:
"This fellow is very smart. If it agrees to go with you, I can offer it at 1,500 Spirit Stones, plus an extra Spirit Beast Bag for you?"
The iron tower-like man had seen enough; he could tell that Qi Ping was also very satisfied with the Li Fire Crow.
Having evaluated countless individuals, he trusted his judgnt on this matter.
"Thank you!" Qi Ping cupped his hands in gratitude towards the iron tower-like man.
Qi Ping then turned to the Li Fire Crow and asked:
"Would you like to co with ? I can try my best to help you recover!"
Since the Li Fire Crow already possessed a complete mind, it would be challenging for Qi Ping to contract it if it refused, unlike the Spirit Beast cubs.
Therefore, contracting a Spirit Beast with complete intelligence presented significant difficulty.
Confronted with Qi Ping’s question, the Li Fire Crow didn’t hesitate, imdiately nodding in agreent.
This straightforward action astonished the iron tower-like man once more.
Yet, he said nothing further, feeling relieved to have found a suitable owner for the creature, thereby fulfilling a personal concern.
What remained was straightforward.
Qi Ping initially had about 1,300 Spirit Stones. He then sold so items to Boss Gao, amassing 1,500 Spirit Stones, which he handed to the iron tower-like man. In return, the iron tower-like man gave Qi Ping both the Li Fire Crow and a Spirit Beast Bag.
