The news that Xiao Lingyu brought back a talking little beast quickly spread throughout the sect after being spread by the gatekeeper disciples, so everyone came to her to see what the little beast looked like.
However, no one expected that they were a step too late. The little beast was not with the little junior sister, but had been taken away by the head of the sect.
Although we didn't see the little beast, we got other news.
Their junior sister actually contracted a spirit beast.
There is no disciple in the sect who has a contracted spirit beast, so everyone is very interested in the spirit beast contracted by the junior sister.
Now they gathered together to watch the little junior sister's contracted spirit beast.
However, it is not correct to call it a contracted spirit beast, because the junior sister’s contracted spirit beast is still an egg and has not yet hatched.
"Junior sister, when will your contracted spirit beast hatch?" A female disciple said enviously, looking at the Fire Phoenix and Blue Luan eggs placed in the nest.
As a female disciple, I naturally like small animals. I heard that my junior sister’s contracted spirit beast is a high-level spirit beast. Not only will it be able to play with my junior sister, but I can also fight with her. It will be a very good partner.
"I don't know either, but my father said that as long as there is enough spiritual energy, the hatching time will be faster." Xiao Lingyu said, looking at the Fire Phoenix Blue Luan egg.
At this time, the Fire Phoenix and Blue Luan eggs were placed in a nest she had built herself. The nest was made of thousand-year-old shark silk, and contained not only a dozen top-grade spirit stones but also several natural treasures that were rich in spiritual energy.
"It would cost a lot of spirit stones to raise a spirit beast like this, right?"
"Of course. I saw someone selling spirit beasts. Even an ordinary low-level spirit beast would cost thousands of low-grade spirit stones."
Different from the secular world, the currency of the immortal world is Lingshi, which is divided into low-grade Lingshi, medium-grade Lingshi, high-grade Lingshi and top-grade Lingshi. In addition, there is a lowest unit of currency called Lingzhu. 100 Lingzhu can be exchanged for 1 low-grade Lingshi, 100 low-grade Lingshi can be exchanged for 1 medium-grade Lingshi, 100 medium-grade Lingshi can be exchanged for 1 high-grade Lingshi, and 100 high-grade Lingshi can be exchanged for 1 top-grade Lingshi.
Spiritual stone is a kind of stone that contains the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It can be used for trading as well as for cultivation. The grade of spiritual stone is divided according to the content of spiritual energy. The higher the grade of the spiritual stone, the more spiritual energy it contains.
Upon hearing that an ordinary low-level spirit beast required so many spirit stones, the disciples who were originally tempted by Xiao Lingyu's spirit pet gave up the idea of contracting a spirit beast.
Let's not talk about whether they can afford it or not. Even if they can afford it, they can't afford to raise it. Look at how much high-quality spirit stones the junior sister has used to hatch the Fire Phoenix and Blue Luan, not to mention all the rare treasures. In the future, she might spend even more.
Moreover, low-level spirit beasts can only be cultivated to level three at most. Their combat power is not strong and they can only be used as mounts or pets.
These monks can fly with swords or use flying magic tools, so they don’t need any mounts.
Unlike the little junior sister, they are the daughters of the Sect Master and the Ninth Elder, two powerful men. Although they are inner disciples, they are not the direct disciples of the elders. Although the training resources they get are better than those of the outer disciples, these sword cultivators are notoriously poor. With that money, they might as well buy a powerful sword, or buy materials to forge their swords. After all, for sword cultivators, the sword is equivalent to their wife and is their most precious thing.
As for why people don't want to capture spirit beasts in the wild even though the price is so high, it is because capturing spirit beasts is more difficult than hunting them. Adult spirit beasts are not suitable for contracts because adult spirit beasts are extremely violent. If you make a contract with them, you are likely to encounter resistance. They would rather die than be contracted by humans.
And those monster cubs that are suitable for the contract are hard to find, because those monsters will build their nests in very hidden places to ensure the safety of their children. Therefore, it is difficult for ordinary people to find them. Even if they find their nests, they still have to worry about retaliation from the monster cubs' parents.
It is precisely because monster cubs are difficult to catch that the price of monster cubs is so high.
The Beast Taming Sect is a sect that uses taming beasts as its main method of cultivation. Their sect possesses special secret techniques that not only allow them to tame adult monsters, but also to track down their nests and obtain their young.
The disciples of the Beast Taming Sect would keep the contracts of the captured monster cubs or sell them on the market in exchange for spirit stones.
It is precisely because of this source of income that the Beast Taming Sect is very wealthy.
