Vale’s eyes lingered on the Frostborne Vulpestra and the Nightreaver Shroudfang for several more monts...
They had such incredible nas, but in Vale’s eyes, they were simply a blue fox and a black panther.
These were beasts that embodied shadow and ice would be useful for him...
After a few monts of hesitation, he glanced at the rchant.
"I’ll take the adults of both."
The masked rchant’s eyes glead from behind the half-mask.
"Excellent choice, Sir Immortal. That would be 1,450 Divine Crystals total—700 for the Shroudfang, 750 for the Vulpestra."
Vale didn’t hesitate. He reached into his storage ring and withdrew a dark blue crystalline case. Inside was a collection of large Divine Crystals. Each of them was larger than the thumb-sized Divine Crystals, which were normal forms of currency here.
"Ohhh... These are high-purity Divine Crystals. They must’ve co from a very blessed land." The rchant said as he saw the quality of the crystals.
Even Sabrina, who had been silent all this ti, looked at the item with interest.
Then, he inspected one of them for a mont.
"These are worth five standard Divine Crystals each, if not more, depending on the realm. Very well... You’re my first custor and you also spent a large sum on our store, so as per rchant Union policy, I have to give you sothing..." He bowed slightly in respect.
To be honest, Sabrina didn’t expect Van to have collected so many large Divine Crystals. After all, forming large Divine Crystals wasn’t easy even for immortals. After all, Divinity wasn’t a sort of air or energy that could be taken sowhere else.
You can only rely on your own collection of Divinity.
Needless to say, collecting Divinity wasn’t easy if you’d only rely on your own ability to create them.
’Interesting...’ Sabrina mused as she couldn’t help but think whether Vale had already beco a god to a small realm.
In any case, with the transaction completed, several assistants erged from behind the enclosure...
Vale watched carefully.
The Nightreaver Shroudfang was approached first. The assistants ford a sealing circle on the ground using a special ink and black gold dust, and soon, a ritual chant began.
The great panther watched silently, then walked into the circle of its own volition.
Once it stepped into place, the runes pulsed and a Beast-Seal Sphere descended from above, capturing the Spirit Beast.
Then ca the Frostborne Vulpestra. Its ritual was similar, but perford with a different ink...
Soon, a layer of mist descended as the creature was sealed inside a pale-blue sphere...
After sealing both adult Spirit Beasts, the rchant stepped forward and handed Vale a small bundle.
"As part and bonus of the adult-beast purchase package, we offer the following complintary items..." The rchant said as he handed over a list of items.
[ Bonding Array Scrolls — Shadow-Type and Ice-Type variants, for deeper synchronization with your beasts. ]
[ Nurturing Formation Diagrams — Use these to establish a breeding ground in your land. ]
[ Taming Contract Runes — Optional, for those who prefer soul-binding contracts over loyalty training. ]
[ Supplental Ration Packs — Three months’ worth of condensed crystal als calibrated for each species. ]
[ Obedience Bracers — For safe handling by subordinates until the beasts recognize your authority directly. ]
Vale accepted the items and stored them in his Storage Ring. He was pleased with the generosity of the rchant, as he had given more than the usual number.
However, the two Spirit Beasts could not be stored in this Storage Ring.
Seeing that, the rchant paused as he realized that it was Vale’s first ti owning a Spirit Beast...
"One more thing, Sir Immortal."
From beneath his cloak, the rchant produced a black amulet with unknown runes.
"This is a Spirit Beast Vault Amulet. It’s a spatial artifact that can store up to twenty Spirit Beasts, sealed and dormant. You can just bind it into your soul, and only you may access it."
Vale’s eyes lit up after seeing this.
"So it was like that... Is this for free?" He asked.
The rchant nodded. "Indeed. This is a gift..."
Vale held the amulet, then activated it with a strand of his spiritual energy.
Just like that. it was already bound to him...
Then, he briefly scanned the artifact with his Divine Sense and confird its deep spatial stability inside...
"You can now try storing your Spirit Beasts inside." The rchant said.
Vale nodded at this and did as he was told.
Soon, the two captured and tad Spirit Beasts entered the amulet.
"Impressive..." Vale muttered.
With this, he wouldn’t need to worry about housing his Spirit Beasts inside cumberso enclosures, or perhaps, he would have an easier ti bringing multiple of them with him.
Well, he didn’t mind traveling with one or two Spirit Beasts, but if there were too many of them, using the Amulet was definitely a good option.
He could keep them sealed, safe, and ready for instant deploynt. It would be ideal when traversing between realms as well.
Sabrina, who had been quietly watching the whole ti, finally spoke. "You made a good investnt. Very few outsiders take the leap and go straight for the adults... Most of them would rather have a youngling."
It was quite normal to have that option since they were all Immortal, and raising Spirit Beasts was most likely their pasti since there wasn’t much entertainnt in this realm.
However, Vale had a different thought.
"I have to..." Vale replied.
’My enemies won’t wait.’ He added in his mind.
"Right... I’m ready. Let’s head to the next floor?" Vale asked.
"Alchemy floor, right? You look excited." Sabrina replied.
He nodded. "Yes... I’m sure it will be interesting to see. But... Right, thank you for guiding . Am I not taking too much of your ti?"
Sabrina smiled as she didn’t really mind accompanying him for a while. Still, she recalled that she also had other things to do as she was already missing for a few hours.
"You’re welco. I have to part ways soon—I can’t go further as I still have so work to do... But I hope you enjoy your stay here."
Vale nodded once more, and the two exchanged a final glance before she turned down another corridor and vanished, leaving Vale to find the way to the Alchemist Floor.
