Chapter 147: This Woman Just Wasn’t a Normal Person
After greeting each other, Great Master Wen smiled kindly at Lou Mu Yan and the others, then walked back to the centre to help the next client contract their Spirit Pet.
In the same way, Lou Mu Yan discovered that every time Great Master Wen threw the Demonic Beast into the Soul-Locking Array, the Demonic Beast would be bound by yellow light beams emitted from the Array, the Demonic Soul Energy weakened, and it would be easier to form a contract with.
After the three queued clients finished their contracts and left, Great Master Wen said to Ye Qing Han leisurely: “Young Lord is here for what purpose today?”
“I’ve brought a few friends over to take a look. Great Master Wen, has the Clan sent any Tier 5 Demonic Beasts for contracting and sale?” Ye Qing Han asked with a faint smile.
This Great Master Wen was a Guest Elder of the Ye Clan who volunteered to oversee the Spirit Pet Shop.
Hearing this, Great Master Wen pointed to the very top of the counter and said: “There are three Tier 5 Demonic Beasts for sale, Young Lord can take a look.”
Ye Qing Han nodded, walked over, and picked up three jade slips for a look, then asked Lou Mu Yan and the others: “Do you all want to take a look?”
Lou Mu Yan already contracted three Spirit Pets and each one was of extraordinary origin. She had no interest in a Spirit Pet at Sword King strength, “I don’t need to.”
Mu Yi once contracted a Mutated Peak-Phase Tier 5 Snow Monkey Beast, so he shook his head and said: “I don’t need to as well.”
Shi Feng and Mu Xia was interested and took a jade slip to take a look. Even Yun Lan couldn’t help picking one up to look at.
On Tian’ling Continent, a Sword Master who wasn’t a Spirit Beast Master could only contract two Spirit Pets with the help of a Spirit Beast Master. Even those above Sword Venerable were no exception.
For Spirit Beast Masters, depending on one’s Mental Energy and contract level, a Grade 10 Spirit Beast Master could contract ten Spirit Pets at most, which was also the limit.
Lou Mu Yan’s Ancient Contract Skill was different, however. As long as one’s Mental Energy could support it, there was no upper limit in contracting.
“Qing Han, how do you sell this Tier 5 Contract Demonic Beast?” Yun Lan put down a jade slip and asked with some desire.
He came to Luo’xi City this time, bringing enough purple-gold coins, just to buy a Contract Demonic Beast. He originally thought it would be good enough to buy a Tier 4 Demonic Beast and return to raise it slowly, but he didn’t expect to encounter Tier 5 Demonic Beasts for sale.
Ye Qing Han didn’t manage his Clan’s affairs, so he turned his head and asked Great Master Wen: “Great Master Wen, what’s the price of these three Tier 5 Demonic Beasts? They are all my best friends, how about giving a Clan discount.”
Although he’s the Young Lord, but he didn’t have the right to arbitrarily take from the Clan’s property without paying the bills. To be more precise, everyone, including the Patriarch and the Elders, didn’t have the privilege.
“These three Demonic Beasts are the most significant products of our store, and they’re only sold to specific distinguished guests. However, since the Young Lord’s best friends want it, then I could accommodate somewhat. The original price is six million purple-gold coins for one. My authority can only drop it by one million, so if the two Sirs and Young Miss wants to buy it, then they require five million purple-gold coins.”
Great Master Wen’s words weren’t hurried nor slow, making it feel as if one was bathing in a warm breeze, exceptionally comfortable.
Only when Lou Mu Yan heard the tongue-tying price, did she lift her head and scan the three white light covers—this was a little too fraudulent, it was actually that expensive.
No wonder the three professions that make the most money on Tian’ling Continent were Alchemists, Smiths, and Spirit Beast Masters.
Of course, the most expensive jobs were the first two professions. After all, in order to advance, it took countless Spiritual Herbs and Spars to start refining from a low Grade. While the most dangerous profession was Spirit Beast Master. It was risky to catch Demonic Beasts, and while contracting, if a Demonic Beast’s Soul Energy was too strong, they could also receive backlash.
She stroked her chin and her eyes shone brightly. If she had no money in the future, she’d just go to the Blazing, and Glacial Mountain Ranges where high-level Demonic Beasts roamed to catch a few to contract then sell.
After Yun Lan heard the price, he unconsciously furrowed his brows slightly. He knew that five million purple-gold coins was indeed a discount, but it still surpassed his estimated amount by a lot. After all, he brought purple-gold coins originally to buy Tier 4 Demonic Beasts.
He just so happened to have exactly five million purple-gold coins on him, which was given to him before he left, specifically prepared by the Imperial Family for him to use to improve his strength before the Continental Tournament for Hegemony. That’s why he hesitated between buying or not buying.
Mu Xia only had around two million purple-gold coins. Although she was from the main bloodline of the Clan, but she wasn’t the most valued genius, so she could only regretfully put the jade slip in her hand down.
Shi Feng was the Young Lord of the Shi Clan, and also an Alchemist. He wasn’t short of money at all, and the Demonic Beast introduced on the jade slip just so happened to have the same Elemental Energy attribute as him, so he didn’t hesitate to take out a Crystal Card to transfer the money.
Seeing Yun Lan hesitate, Lou Mu Yan said: “Elder Cousin Brother, five million purple-gold coins is too expensive, don’t buy it.”
“Little girl, five million purple-gold coins is already considered the best price even on the entire Continent. If it were at an auction, a Tier 5 Demonic Beast that could be contracted might require at least seven or eight million purple-gold coins to buy.” Great Master Wen said as he looked at Lou Mu Yan with a gentle smile.
“What I mean by expensive isn’t that the price you’re selling it at is expensive, but that it’s not a good deal.” Lou Mu Yan explained.
“Not a good deal? A Tier 5 Demonic Beast is equivalent to the strength of a Sword King. Most importantly, it’s a life-saving trump card. Moreover, in the Eastern Region, a Spirit Beast Master Tier 4 and above is simply too rare. Sometimes even if you had purple-gold coins, you may not be able to buy a Tier 5 Demonic Pet.”
Mu Yi smiled and looked at her, teasing: “Mu Yan, aren’t you a prodigal? Even you have times where you think something’s not a good deal!”
Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes and said without a good temper: “Do I look like I’m a foolish spender? It’s not a good deal to begin with. I can go contract one myself, why waste that money.”
“You can contract one yourself? Don’t say you can contract a Tier 5 Demonic Beast.” Mu Yi’s eyes widened, an expression filled with disbelief.
Lou Mu Yan poked the seven-coloured parrot on her shoulder and said: “Although this Tier 6 Demonic Beast was caught and suppressed by someone else for me, but I contracted it myself.”
“What? You can contract a Tier 6 Demonic Beast?” Everyone present was surprised—really? Their little heart really couldn’t take it!
Lou Mu Yan’s recent expenses were simply too huge, and she was simply too lacking in the money required to raise a powerful private army for the Lou Clan. She had a plan in her heart, so she decided to reveal a trump card herself.
“I can contract a Tier 6 Demonic Beast, but I also need it to willingly contract me.” Lou Mu Yan said lightly.
The several people breathed a sigh of relief. So that’s how it was. In fact, as long as the Demonic Beast was willing, even a Grade 2 Spirit Beast Master could contract a Tier 5 Demonic Beast. But which Demonic Beast would be that stupid to willingly subdue to a human much weaker than themselves?
Lou Mu Yan’s Tier 6 Demonic Beast willingly contracted her probably because it was forcefully suppressed by her mysterious Master. But then her next sentence completely broke their illusion.
“But as long as their strength is inferior to me, I can contract any, so I can also contract a Tier 5 Demonic Beast.” Lou Mu Yan appeared a little tsundere, “If Elder Cousin Brother wants to contract a Tier 5 Spirit Pet, then don’t bother buying it, just leave it to me.
“By the way, Qing Han, does your store also accept Tier 5 Demonic Beasts already imprinted with a Contract Seal?” Lou Mu Yan blinked her eyes and said, a little embarrassed: “I’m short of money recently. If I can, then I’ll go catch a few Tier 5 Demonic Beasts these few days and sell it to your Ye Clan’s Spirit Pet Shop.”
“…”
The people present couldn’t help but twitch their lips and looked up at the sky speechlessly with all kinds of jealousy, envy, and hatred in their eyes. Lou Mu Yan gave a deep blow to their initially rather strong hearts.
This woman just wasn’t a normal person. This kind of talent was comparable to a monster. Comparing one to another definitely could infuriate oneself to death!
