Chapter 3: Familiars and Demonic Beasts

Zhang Xuan started to observe.

The Silver Moon Wolf had a unique characteristic. On its forehead, there was a tuft of white hair that was not very obvious. No matter how mottled its fur was when it was young, the fur on its feet would definitely be white.

After looking at it for a while, he confirmed that it had all the characteristics it should have.

He was overjoyed. The demonic beast cub was undoubtedly the Silver Moon Wolf!

However, when he thought about the price of familiars, he quickly calmed down, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him.

Poor people were poor no matter where they were.

Touching the silver in his pocket, Zhang Xuan smiled bitterly.

“How much are you selling this Silver Moon Wolf cub for?”

At this moment, a passerby stopped in front of the hunter and pointed at the wolf cub.

“Pure bloodline, sixty taels of silver isn’t too much, right?” the hunter replied with a smile.

When the passerby heard this, he was a little startled. “How dare you demand such a price.” Then, he ignored the hunter’s shouts and left the stall.

Sixty taels? Hearing this, Zhang Xuan was stunned. Sixty silver was enough to exchange for his watch. He quickly followed the people around him to inquire about the situation.

“Oh, demonic beast cubs? There are so many of them in one go, and they’re all at this price. The meat of a demon beast is expensive.”

“This kind of thing can’t be raised well. Usually, when it’s raised, it’ll be slaughtered and eaten at home for cultivation.”

“There’s still quite a bit of spiritual energy in my body. Rich people usually buy mature demonic beasts to eat. If they really don’t have money, they buy young ones. It’s not only difficult to raise them, but they also eat rice husks, and the effect of the spiritual energy in their meat will be much worse.”

“I think forty taels is too expensive for this. I didn’t expect this hunter to quote sixty taels. No wonder he doesn’t want to talk to him.”

In this world, demonic beasts were rampant, and cultivators had no way to communicate with them. Mature demonic beasts were powerful and destructive, so both the righteous and demonic sects would kill them for their own pleasure.

In the eyes of immortal cultivators, weak demonic beasts were no different from ordinary livestock. It was even worse than ordinary livestock, because at least ordinary livestock would wag their tails when they saw people, and demon beasts were not mature at all.

The more he asked, the more shocked Zhang Xuan became. “So sixty taels was already a sky-high price?”

The young familiars that were treated as treasures on the Blue Planet were raised with all their might, but in this world, it was actually overflowing with familiars. They could be found everywhere, yet no one cared about them.

This was simply a treasure land! A heaven for beastmasters!

He had thought that he would have to rely on the loan he got from the mortgage of the cultivation center to exchange for a transcendent familiar to live a difficult life. He didn’t expect that the heavens would always leave a way out!

Zhang Xuan was so excited that he couldn’t be any more excited. Although he didn’t have much money, it was more than enough to buy this Silver Moon Wolf.

At this time, the Hunter saw that no one was interested in the cubs at his stall. He had not been able to sell a single one since noon. He shook his head helplessly and closed the stall.

“Wait!”

Seeing the hunter pack up, Zhang Xuan quickly walked out. Although his expression was calm, he was extremely excited in his heart.

Noticing that someone had come, the hunter gave a professional smile.”Please take a look.”

He just took it as asking for a price. The only thing he had was the Silver Moon Wolf.

When Zhang Xuan pretended to look at it for a while and asked about the price, the hunter revealed an expression that said, “As expected.” However, he still patiently explained it to him before saying, “Anyway, I’m going to close my stall soon. If you like it, you can have it for fifty taels.”

“Forty taels.”

“Young master, this Silver Moon Wolf’s quality is really good. The Wolf King’s lair was destroyed by a powerful being, and I happened to be nearby and caught it.”

“Forty taels is already decent, you know. You should know that you’ve already set it up for a day. If you refuse, you’ll have to take care of it for another day. Even if you sell it for forty taels tomorrow, you’ll still lose money for a meal.”

After living in poverty for so long, no matter how excited they were, they still had to bargain.

Hearing Zhang Xuan’s words, the hunter could only agree helplessly and complete the deal.

Zhang Xuan lifted the cage and looked at the Silver Moon Wolf that was looking at him curiously. He was really happy.

The Silver Moon Wolf bared its fangs at others, but it didn’t seem to be so resistant to him. After walking to a quiet place, he connected his consciousness to the rune and returned home.

Looking at the Silver Moon Wolf that was still in his hands, Zhang Xuan’s lips curled into a smile that reached his ears.

The Silver Moon Wolf, on the other hand, seemed to be terrified of the new environment and moved restlessly in the cage. From time to time, it would let out a whimpering sound.

As the manager and only employee of the beast cultivation center, Zhang Xuan naturally knew that this was a kind of stress reaction, so he continued to speak to the Silver Moon Wolf gently, comforting it.

After it had calmed down a little, he took out the only bag of high-level food in the house and fed it to the Silver Moon Wolf.

In the beginning, the Silver Moon Wolf was still wondering what this person was talking about. It didn’t understand, but it was shocked. This also proved that Zhang Xuan’s standard method of comforting with words was, in fact, only to make the beast confused and not really be comforted.

But when it saw the food in Zhang Xuan’s hand, its eyes lit up. Its nose was slightly buzzing, and drool was flowing out of its mouth uncontrollably. It had already smelled the never-before-seen but extremely delicious smell of high-level food. Since it had been captured by the hunters and placed in the cage, it had not eaten a single meal.

The moment Zhang Xuan took out the food, it pounced on him and gobbled it up. While it was eating, Zhang Xuan used his professional knowledge to calm it down.

Due to its natural affinity with beastmasters, it started to stop resisting Zhang Xuan. It had lost its parents not long after it was born, so it obviously treated the human in front of it as its new parents.

Beasts would never be slaves, unless food and accommodation were provided. That was why when Zhang Xuan cleaned it and treated its wounds, it didn’t make a fuss. Instead, it squinted its eyes in enjoyment.

Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. At first, he was worried that he really couldn’t communicate with the demonic beasts in the cultivation world. It seemed like as long as it was a beast, it wouldn’t be able to escape from a beastmaster’s grasp. After all, high-level food really smelled good.

At this moment, Zhang Xuan looked at the wolf cub that was breathing steadily and kicking its legs from time to time. He was very satisfied.

After some inspection, he was certain that the little cub in front of him was a Silver Moon Wolf. This was a great bargain.

He could also start to fantasize about the future. He would have more resources to train his familiars without having to take out a loan to buy one. Moreover, to be able to freely travel between two worlds with completely different values meant that he was the middleman who earned the price difference.

He would be able to enjoy the resources of two worlds at the same time!
