The Way of the Sword (BL)

Chapter 57: Ancestral Beast (3)

Purple thunderstones are used to strengthen magical beasts, which can increase a beast's defensive and offensive power, so if you're lucky you can even add the thunder element as one of the potential elements of the Magic beast. Items such as purple thunderstone can be divided into unclean, medium quality pure and high quality pure. Even impure stones are worth hundreds of gold coins and are also very beneficial to magical beasts.

In a nutshell, the shop owner was charging dearly for this supposedly worthless little black tiger!

Zhong Liang didn't even frown at this price, his ring had tens of thousands of blood crystals, the purple thunderstones he didn't have, for the holy beast whose bond he has a contract bond is still sleeping and during those 15  years ago never woke up, so he saw no use in carrying things from beast tamer.

Zemin Yan, who had no concept of price, was not very shocked, but he felt that pureblood crystals were very precious, since a senior disciple had previously spoken with such admiration! He also had many blood crystals in his ring, but he could not easily take it off, it could bring disaster for himself!

"Alright, I'll also want some special food and" Zhong Liang grabbed ten crystals of pureblood and handed them to the shop owner without even blinking, and began to list some things for this poor magic beast. Of course, many of the things the store owner didn't have, but the basic things like snacks and some relaxing herbs he had.

Zemin Yan wanted to protest but was stopped by Tai-Yang who just shrugged at the strange attitude of this imperial guard. He wasn't quite sure of the situation, but it was very likely that this guard was someone from the Celestial Sword sect who was disguised as a guard.

Tai-Yang had a simple mindset that only adults develop after a certain period of time, domestic problems, especially if financially, can be solved at home. That is, when they return to the sect's camp, Zemin Yan can talk to this guard and discuss how to pay for this help. 

"Since you are a generous customer, I would feel bad to take all these crystals and you carry only a handicapped little tiger. You can pick two eggs that are in the incubator, "said the shopkeeper with a huge happy smile, but since he had a huge, ugly scar, the smile looked very fierce and evil.

The shopkeeper pointed into the tent where there were six nature-based crystal incubators. These were green crystals that gather the power of the sky and the earth around them, having the ability to nourish life from animals or plants. It is very common for pet tamers to have some with them, especially if they decide to raise some puppies. 

The eggs were of various colors, sizes, and even shapes There was a square egg! Even an egg that looked like a hexagon! The eggs were blue, green, white, yellow, black and red. Some eggs had a design under their shells, a blue egg had a water design, green had a blueprint, a yellow lightning bolt, black an iron hammer, red an a bright rose and white had no design at all. 

The drawings in the eggs can mean many things, such as the main element of this magic beast, or the spiritual root, or even its kind, make no mistake there are some beasts that have a plant appearance, but it is only a disguise, as the Lion of the Camellia, because its mane is made of rose petals and its hair is green, even the tip of its tail has a sprig of leaves.

Zhong Liang was not interested in these little animals, he only bought the black tiger because of the little white dog, it would also be a way to give some more gifts that Zemin Yan could not refuse.

"Zemin disciple, can you choose both eggs for me? I feel like you seem to have good luck, "said Zhong Liang in his typical nonchalant tone. However, why could Zemin Yan feel that his older brother Zhong was trying not to laugh? 

Zemin Yan wanted to refuse, but he got the impression that Zhong Liang would give him no choice, after all, it was his own silly dog that caused trouble! Then very seriously, but with bitterness in his heart, his light brown eyes began to search the eggs in the incubators.

The ring that has remained silent since healing the Demon Lord began to heat up as Zemin Yan approached the white egg, so he thought in his heart that he had unleashed some other banner of death placed by the original creator of that ring!

"Young master, this is a very special egg. You sure have to take him! "The ring's voice rang in the mind of Zemin Yan, who had a very bitter look. Why did he feel that there was a death flag on top of this white egg?

However, he still believed in the words of the ring and chose the egg in his heart, but as they were two eggs, Zemin Yan went to choose the second, then he would tell the "imperial guard" Zhong.

He then approached the hexagon-shaped black egg, it looked like a very strange egg, but this time it wasn't the ring that looked strange, it was Zemin Yan's own blood that seemed to be reacting to this bizarre egg! 

Zemin Yan felt that this egg might loosen the seals that were restricting his bloodline, so he didn't think long when he came back with a little flushed face in excitement and with his round bright eyes he communicated his decision about the one's eggs.

In the view of Zhong Liang and Tai-Yang, Zemin Yan looked very cute trying to contain his animation, but the child's eyes shone like stars. Zhong Liang couldn't resist and stroked little Yan's soft brown hair, which at the moment didn't care much. Only Tai-Yang felt a little pity that he was slower than the guard to take advantage of this little tsundere!

"You must make a contract with this little tiger!" Sying warned in Zemin Yan's head when the tent owner asked about the type of contract they wanted. Zemin Yan still hesitated a lot and thought he should do it later, but Sying was upsetting him too much and looked like he would die if he didn't make a contract right now!

Zemin Yan eventually chose to make a temporary contract of up to 10 years, as his term is quite different from the equal rights contract he had with the little wolf, who was now a silly little dog! This was a full contract under which this little tiger would have to follow by his side for that particular time. 

Sure, Zemin Yan could let the little black tiger out before that, but he had a feeling that if he let this little tiger loose, that little animal would end up killing himself with sadness. I could tell just by his bleak look!

Soon, Zemin Yan felt another contractual bond in his mind, which meant that he and the little tiger were now partners. 

Zhong Liang looked at all this very pleased, now Zemin Yan could not return your gift! Tai-Yang had a strange look upon watching the little white dog who seemed very happy to bully a tiger!
