Top-Tier Spirit Beast Awakening Materials

After leaving the Scripture Repository, Qin Feng headed toward Spirit Beast Peak.

After asking around, he finally found Liu Sisi.

Seeing the cold, stunning Senior Sister Liu who had haunted his dreams truly standing before him, his expression went blank.

Liu Sisi's delicate brows furrowed slightly. "You're the one who wants to buy Blazing Hound awakening materials?"

"That's right! That's right!" Qin Feng nodded hurriedly.

"Then where is your Blazing Hound pup?" Liu Sisi asked with a frown.

"I left it at home," Qin Feng said awkwardly.

"Every Blazing Hound pup requires different awakening materials depending on its growth condition and bloodline concentration. Bring the pup over first, then we'll talk!" Liu Sisi waved her hand, telling him to bring the Blazing Hound before discussing anything further.

Qin Feng scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Senior Sister, do you know Senior Brother Han Yuan?"

Liu Sisi was startled. She looked Qin Feng over from head to toe, then suddenly understood. "I've seen you before. You were that passerby standing beside Han Yuan. I was wondering why I didn't remember selling you a pup. I was even worried I'd stolen business from some other senior brothers or sisters."

Qin Feng was dumbfounded for a moment. It was as though he was meeting Liu Sisi for the first time. So Spirit Beast Peak sold those spirit beasts incapable of awakening their bloodlines at low prices just to have a chance to harvest money from awakening materials later!

No wonder awakening materials were worth even more than actual spirit beasts!

What a scheme! First, they let people grow attached to those unawakened spirit beasts, then they used awakening materials to reap their wealth.

Eh? This really was the first time he had properly spoken with Senior Sister Liu... She had originally seemed so stunningly beautiful, cold, and captivating. Now that he looked again, he wished he had not looked at all.

"If he's the one buying awakening materials, then I understand. I've seen Little Wangcai before, and I know his condition. How about this—a set of top-grade awakening materials costs only two hundred and fifty-five Spirit Stones. Since we're acquaintances, I'll give you a discount. Two hundred and fifty will do!" Liu Sisi said with a smile.

Seeing Liu Sisi's smile, Qin Feng shuddered and cried out, "That expensive? A spirit beast at the Qi Refining First Layer only costs a hundred Spirit Stones, doesn't it?"

"What do you know?"

Her professional competence had been questioned, and Liu Sisi became angry. "These are high-grade awakening materials. They can increase Wangcai's bloodline concentration severalfold! Higher than even naturally born spirit beasts! His potential will be even greater!"

Qin Feng looked at her skeptically.

That look made Liu Sisi furious. "What the hell do you know? Do you have Han Yuan's contact information? I want to talk to him!"

Under Liu Sisi's piercing stare, Qin Feng subconsciously took out an Affiliated Token.

Liu Sisi snatched the token from Qin Feng's hand and sent her Spiritual Sense into it.

"Wait!" Qin Feng hurriedly tried to stop her.

At that moment, Han Yuan had just finished cultivating in the Cultivation Room and stepped outside. He happened to sense the token vibrating. Sending his Spiritual Sense into it, he found a communication request from Qin Feng.

Did that kid run into trouble?

Han Yuan accepted it with his Spiritual Sense. Then a pleasant, clear female voice came through, making him pause in surprise.

"Han Yuan, hello? Is that you?"

"You are...?" Han Yuan asked hesitantly.

The voice became a little sharper. "Well, well, Han Yuan. I looked after you several times before, and you've already forgotten?"

"Oh, it's Senior Sister Liu. My apologies, my apologies. Is Qin Feng with you?"

"Hmph, hmph. Did you send him to buy Wangcai's awakening materials?" Liu Sisi asked.

"That's right."

"You're already a True Disciple. You can't possibly use low-grade materials to awaken Wangcai, can you? I told him that a set of high-grade awakening materials costs two hundred and fifty Spirit Stones, yet he still thinks it's expensive. I wouldn't even sell this stuff to anyone else! It can greatly increase a spirit beast's bloodline concentration, making it stronger than a naturally born spirit beast! I only lowered the price because we're on good terms. So, Han Yuan, are you buying or not?" Liu Sisi fired off her words like a string of firecrackers.

Two hundred and fifty?

Han Yuan raised a brow. "Are materials worth two hundred and fifty Spirit Stones the highest-grade awakening materials? Is there anything better?"

"You want something better?" Liu Sisi was taken aback. "It's only a Blazing Hound."

"Wangcai is my contracted spirit beast. Just as you said, I'm already a True Disciple—how could I let him suffer such poor treatment? The absolute best. What's the price? We're friends, so give me a friendship price," Han Yuan said.

"Wait a moment, then. The very best materials need to be checked with the elders of Spirit Beast Peak to confirm the price."

"Mm." Han Yuan nodded faintly.

Liu Sisi secretly rejoiced. She had caught another fat sheep. Selling spirit beast pups cheaply and awakening materials dearly had already become Spirit Beast Peak's traditional specialty. It was rare enough to encounter a fat sheep, but this Han Yuan was an unprecedentedly enormous one. She had never even heard of anyone fleecing a True Disciple before.

That was perfectly normal. Only Outer Sect Disciples who had just entered the sect would want unawakened spirit beast pups. It would take those disciples years to break through to the Qi Refining Mid Stage, so how could they bear to buy excessively expensive awakening materials?

Could she become the first genius of Spirit Beast Peak to accomplish such a feat?

Meanwhile, Han Yuan was also looking forward to Wangcai's awakening results.

Wangcai was his contracted beast. By rights, he counted as part of Han Yuan. Would he be able to enjoy the benefits of the Random Buff Multiplier?

His Golden Finger did not trigger all the time. For example, when he ate Spirit Food, it accelerated the recovery of spiritual power, but it did not cause the Golden Finger to appear. It only appeared during relatively major breakthroughs. He figured that a spirit beast awakening should count as a fairly major event.

After setting down the token, Liu Sisi glanced at Qin Feng and said, "Stand farther away!"

"Oh! Oh!" Qin Feng obediently moved farther away.

Liu Sisi casually set up a Soundproofing Spell and immediately contacted someone else—an older cousin from her family, who was also from Spirit Beast Peak. She was an Inner Sect Disciple at the Ninth Level of Qi Condensation and held a high position.

"Hello, Cousin Liu Miaoyin?" Liu Sisi asked gently.

"Mm? Sisi? What is it?" The voice on the other end of the communication spell was even colder than Liu Sisi's.

"It's like this. I have a major customer here who wants to buy the highest-grade Blazing Hound awakening materials. That Blazing Hound already has a ninety-five percent bloodline concentration and can awaken at any time."

"Oh? The highest-grade kind? For a Blazing Hound, no less? What kind of fool would buy that?"

"Ahem, ahem." Liu Sisi glanced at Qin Feng, feeling very wise about the precaution she had taken.

She whispered, "It's that True Disciple Han. Have you heard of him, Senior Sister? I sold him a Blazing Hound pup before."

"So it's him. Mm, even between blood sisters, accounts must be clear. I'll look around for the absolute best Blazing Hound awakening materials. I can indeed gather a set. It can completely awaken the Blazing Hound's bloodline, and there's even a thirty percent chance of evolving it into a Blue Flame Hound with Foundation Establishment potential. My price to you is two thousand Spirit Stones. As for how much you can sell it for, that depends on you."

"Alright, I'll sound him out. Wait a moment, Cousin!"

Then Liu Sisi deliberately waited a while before opening the token communication again.

Han Yuan casually accepted the communication request.

"Han Yuan, after coordinating through many channels, I finally found a set of the absolute best Blazing Hound awakening materials! It can guarantee a one hundred percent awakening into a Blazing Hound, and its bloodline concentration can be raised to the purest possible level. There's also a thirty percent chance of advancing into a Blue Flame Hound. It's just that the price is a little expensive."

"What price?"

"Two thousand five hundred Spirit Stones!" Liu Sisi said sincerely. "This is already the lowest price I could get!"

Han Yuan's mouth twitched. Do you have some kind of grudge against two hundred and fifty? Give me ten two-hundred-and-fifties!

"Too expensive. Mm, two thousand four hundred and fifty Spirit Stones," Han Yuan said.

Liu Sisi's lips curled upward, though her tone carried a trace of distress. "I've already given you a very low price. At this price, I really can't make any profit. You can't expect me to work so hard and earn only a few Spirit Stones, can you?"

Han Yuan raised a brow. He did not believe Liu Sisi was making no profit.

He said, "Right, I don't have that many Spirit Stones. Can I use Qi Condensing Pills instead?"

Liu Sisi's eyes lit up. "Of course!"

Qi Condensing Pills were even more of a hard currency than Spirit Stones, because their purchase was limited!

One pill was worth fifty Spirit Stones. Two thousand four hundred and fifty Spirit Stones meant forty-nine Qi Condensing Pills!

"Fine. I'll give you fifty Qi Condensing Pills. Trade the extra pill for a Spirit Beast Pill," Han Yuan said blandly.

Liu Sisi gritted her teeth. "Forget it. Consider it making a friend. I'll sell it!"

"Mm. Once you have the goods, come directly to my Cangming Cave Mansion for the transaction."

"No problem. Don't worry, I guarantee I'll deliver it quickly!" Liu Sisi beamed.

Han Yuan was surprised. He had not expected Liu Sisi to agree.

He went to the Pill Pavilion to buy Qi Condensing Pills. There, a bottle of twelve pills cost only five hundred Spirit Stones. Fifty pills were equivalent to just two thousand and eighty-three Spirit Stones.

What middleman did not profit from the price difference?
