After settling the Spiritual Beasts, Chen Jiuge did not imdiately guide their mutation.
As soon as he left the Secret Realm, Chen Jiuge saw rows of oddly shaped Alien Race mbers slowly entering the pavilion under Zhu Ying’s command.
"Did you find all of these?" Chen Jiuge asked in surprise. "It hasn’t been that long! You truly live up to your title as the Great Official managing the entire Snow Concubine Hall!"
Zhu Ying, while assigning accommodations to the Alien Race mbers, responded, "I bought them. As long as you have enough Spirit Stones, recruiting staff is no big deal."
"That’s true." Chen Jiuge nodded.
"While I was out recruiting, I carefully sorted through the ssage from the Token," Zhu Ying said, her voice tinged with surprise. "We get to keep thirty percent of the profits from this ’Friend of the Spiritual Beast’."
"Thirty percent?" Chen Jiuge echoed.
"Yes, we just have to hand over seventy percent of the profits to the Jiang Family each year. Though it seems incredible, this is our chance. If you can cultivate a large number of Spiritual Beasts, it will greatly benefit our Cultivation. At least it’s better than how the Jiang Family treated us in Qingming Ancient Country."
"In that case, I should also put in extra effort," Chen Jiuge said with a light laugh. "I’m going off to cultivate the Spiritual Beasts now. After you’ve organized the staff, send a team over to assist ."
"No problem. Here are the Five Elents Spiritual Items; see if there’s anything you can use." Zhu Ying handed over the resources previously gifted by Jiang Fu.
Although the ’Friend of the Spiritual Beast’ had restarted, it was nothing but an empty shell. Even with a supre treasure like the Chaos Pearl, Chen Jiuge couldn’t create Spiritual Beasts out of thin air.
「Several days later」
Jiang Fu sent over a docunt about other shops in Muling Immortal City that sold Spiritual Beasts. It primarily recorded so of the bestselling Spiritual Beasts and the types preferred by Cultivators in the city.
Besides these materials, Jiang Fu also brought a Divine Artifact—the Ti Bell.
The freshly sprouted Five Elents Spiritual Grass quickly germinated and reproduced. Changing ti, even if it only affects one Secret Realm, is indeed a marvelous treasure, Chen Jiuge reflected.
After roughly arranging the situation in the Secret Realm, Chen Jiuge didn’t stay there but instead went alone into the city to scout around.
The Five Elents Pavilion was the Five Elents Sect’s most important enterprise. It covered all items needed by Cultivators—whether Magic Artifacts, Elixirs, Spiritual Beasts, or Spells. They managed all such items, and their business in each was thriving.
"My lord, what do you need?" A Maid dressed in a long red dress approached him, smiling.
This was a Fire Vein Outer Disciple of the Five Elents Sect, with a Cultivation only at the Heavenly Origin Realm.
"Show the Spiritual Beasts," Chen Jiuge said indifferently, his hands behind his back.
As a True Immortal, Chen Jiuge was considered a significant figure in the True Realm, at least not soone who could be casually killed or dismissed.
"My lord, please follow . May I know what attribute of Spiritual Beast you need? Our Five Elents Pavilion specializes in cultivating Five Elents Spiritual Beasts," the Maid said, her eyes curving into a smile.
"Let’s look at everything." Chen Jiuge was only here to gauge his competition. The information sent by Jiang Fu had specifically highlighted that the Five Elents Spiritual Beasts of the Five Elents Pavilion were the most popular. If not for their steep prices, there would probably be no business for other shops.
Chatting as they walked, the two soon reached a Light Gate. Passing through the gate, they entered a vast Five Elents Plain.
Extrely rich Five Elent Spiritual Energy ford colorful clouds above the plain. Underneath, these clouds were connected to five thick pipes flowing with various colored Spiritual Liquids, which were Five Elent Spiritual Energy so concentrated it had condensed into Spiritual Liquid.
A single drop of pure Water Elent Spirit Liquid was worth at least a pound of Top Grade Spirit Stones. Watching the continuous stream of Spiritual Liquid falling into the lake below, the corner of Chen Jiuge’s mouth twitched. This is too much wealth!
"My lord, these are all the purest Five Elents Spiritual Beasts," the Maid said proudly. "These Spiritual Beasts even have the chance to drink Five Elents Spiritual Liquid regularly to strengthen their internal Bloodline. Their potential is far higher than that of Five Elents Spiritual Beasts from the outside world."
Chen Jiuge, who had initially planned to see if he could leverage the Chaos Pearl to cultivate premium Five Elents Spiritual Beasts, instantly felt deflated. The difference in resources is too great; I can’t compete. It seems I’ll have to take an unconventional path.
Amidst the Maid’s endless chatter, Chen Jiuge casually picked a sneaky-looking little green snake and said, "This one then."
"My lord, what excellent taste! This is a Green Rhombus Snake. It’s rumored to have a trace of Yin Wood transformative energy within it, giving it a chance to defy fate and transform into an Azure Dragon!" the Maid complinted.
Chen Jiuge looked unimpressed. Do I look like a fool? he quipped internally, then said aloud, "Do I look like a fool?"
"HEHEHE." Seeming to realize she had exaggerated too much, the Maid sheepishly stuck out her tongue and quickly packed up the sneaky Green Rhombus Snake.
"A fair price, 100,000 pounds of Top Grade Spirit Stones."
"Ha! How much?" Chen Jiuge felt he must have misheard. A Third Rank Spiritual Beast for 100,000 pounds of Top Grade Spirit Stones?
"My lord, this is a premium Spiritual Beast cultivated by our Five Elents Sect. This Green Rhombus Snake is an elite among them; it has a good chance of becoming a True Monarch Level, Seventh Rank Spiritual Beast in the future. This price is quite fair," the Maid said seriously.
Resignedly paying the Spirit Stones, Chen Jiuge finally understood why the Five Elents Sect’s Five Elents Spiritual Beasts were of such high quality yet couldn’t monopolize the entire market. The price is just too steep.
"My lord, my na is Qing Yan. Please look for if you need anything next ti!" Qing Yan revealed small, pointed canines, happily waving at Chen Jiuge’s departing back.
Chen Jiuge was startled by her voice. He waved his hand helplessly and inwardly complained, I’m never coming here again.
「Friend of the Spiritual Beast」
"How did it go?" Zhu Ying looked at Chen Jiuge, whose expression wasn’t great, and asked indifferently.
