Primordial Harem System

Chapter 101: White-Tailed Wolf

"Nightshade Lily!" Shen Yuan said with a faint glint of excitement in his eyes, "That's a Young Tier 3 Herb, perfect for making detoxification pills and energy-boosting pills. No wonder I felt such pure spiritual energy emanating from this area."

He then looked around, seeing the guardian beast, after all, a Tier 3 Herb can't grow in the wilderness without the protection of some spiritual beast or something else.

He soon felt faint traces of a beast from behind one of the trees, 'Hmm… a beast at the Origin Core Creation Realm, but in the mid-tiers.'

He soon lost interest as the beast was too low level for him, he leisurely moved towards the herb, looking out for the beast to attack him.

As soon as he reached 3 meters away from the herb, the beast lunged towards him from behind the tree. Shen Yuan side-stepped to dodge the attack and looked at the beast carefully.

It was a White-tailed Wolf, and a young one at that since at full maturity they can reach the Late stages of the Extreme Origin Core Realm. It was black from front to back except its pure white tail.

"I see…you were guarding the herb to boost your cultivation base." He moved towards the wolf, who tried to run in circles around Shen Yuan.

Trying to find an opportunity to sneak an attack, "Sigh, it's not fun. You are far too slow to play with me." Shen Yuan stopped lazing around and moved swiftly, slapping at the neck of the wolf, and knocking it on the ground.

"Grrr…" the wolf howled in pain as it couldn't get up again. Shen Yuan dusted his hand and stood still for a moment.

He looked at the wolf with calm eyes for some time, before moving towards the Nightshade Lily and skillfully picking it up.

'Hmm? This is quite easy, I thought it would still be harder after learning it from the Basics Alchemy Manual.' he thought inwardly as he continued extracting it from the ground.

[It's due to your high cultivation base. If the herb tier was older then you would have to spend a lot more effort to extract it.]

Shen Yuan nodded in understanding and soon finished extracting. The wolf stopped struggling and lay down on the ground like a dead dog.

He came towards the wolf while speaking with Yue Lan, "White-Tailed Wolves are from the family of Lunar Wolves right?"

[That is right, Lunar Wolves is a part of the Celestial Wolves, it is a powerful alliance of wolves in a lot of planes and even in higher planes, they have a lot of higher ranking bloodline members. Lunar wolves aren't even qualified to be a major clan though.]

Yue Lan answered him swiftly, to which he nodded his head and stared at the wolf.

"Let's try this," he took out a blood-red vial from his inventory, it contained a shimmering liquid inside as if a bloody sky was trapped inside.

[What do you want to do with this Bloodline Enchantment Liquid? You can't possibly be thinking of wasting it on this wolf right?]

Yue Lan asked as she didn't know he was this wasteful. Shen Yuan smiled lightly, "What do you mean wasteful? I have so many such vials that it's hard to keep count of them. And as I have said before, in this life I shall do whatever I want, no matter if it's foolish or not."

He crouched down and grabbed the mouth of the wolf with one hand, and pried it open. The wolf's eyes snapped wide open as soon as it smelled the aroma coming from the vial.

But before it could react, Shen Yuan poured down all the liquid from the vial inside the wolf's mouth.

"Good, with that we are finished here." he stood up and dusted his hands, while the wolf stared at Shen Yuan as if wanting to engrave the appearance of him inside its heart.

"Go and look for a hidden place to cultivate, your cultivation and bloodline will drastically improve when you finish absorbing it completely." He smiled softly and instructed the wolf, who nodded and disappeared slowly into the night.

Shen Yuan smiled looking at the wolf, thinking whether the seed he planted today would sprout later or not.

He shook his head and left to look for more locations with beasts.

…

It was nearing morning as Shen Yuan reached the top of the mountain, where the city was located, the road was filled with merchants and caravans, traveling to and from Green Mountain City.

Shen Yuan slowly walked forward, looking around to see the atmosphere of the city.

He didn't have to line up in the last city as everyone there saw them landing from his mother's ship, but it was different this time and he also didn't want to make too much of a ruckus as that would kill the purpose of training.

He lined up behind the people entering the city, listening to their chatter as they talk about random day-to-day things.

Since he had nothing to do except for waiting, Shen Yuan began making future plans with Yue Lan.

'I will look around for higher tier Alchemy manuals and other good stuff in the city for a few days since the ones in the system are far too expensive for my broke ass.' he thought with a wry smile.

[Hey! Don't blame me for being broke, even though you earned millions of points while dual cultivating with Yuxin, the majority of them were used up for sealing her Primordial Yin inside of you, that's why you are still alive, and that's how only a few dozens of thousands were left.]

She quickly defended herself, making it clear that it was all Shen Yuan's fault for not taking everything into consideration from the start.

He shook his head wryly, 'When did I blame you? But you also didn't tell me about it that day, and only yesterday in the morning did you tell me about it and give me my Chaos Coins.'

He said as he looked at his balance.

[Chaos Coins: 39000]

'I will just save them up for an emergency, I can find the manuals by myself.'

Soon, it was his turn to enter the city. He looked at the prices, 3 Silver Coins per person.

He took out 3 silver coins from his chest pocket. He traded a few spirit stones for mortal currency from the merchants since he knew he would need coins later.

The guards let him inside the city, only admiring his handsome appearance and not commenting about it.

He entered from the main gates of the city, In front of him lay the vast roads and bustling environment of the city.

He continued walking forward while enjoying the merry mood. He saw a lot of people buying and selling herbs around the marketplace.

He strolled through the marketplace, looking at the various vendors and their wares. The one main thing to notice was the absurd amount of aspiring alchemists gathered in the marketplace looking for various herbs.

In other cities, it would be rare to encounter one as they already had their own servants even if they weren't yet a tier 1 alchemist as they could make some simple concoction for mortals.
