Primordial Harem System

Chapter 218: Beast

Shen Yuan nodded his head, "Collect information about the main disciples of Ironwood Mountain Clan, and try to look for information on the Silver Fox Sect as well if you can find out something."

"Hmm? Ironwood Mountain Clan? Why do you want to know about those brutes?" She said as she remembered the barbaric type of people of the clan.

"There are some reasons," he said as he threw the stick into the fire and stood up. "Well, that's about it. Send me the information that you find out about them in the Radiant Lotus Sacred Sect directly."

"As you wish, Young Master Yuan." Lian Fang bowed slightly as she saw him leaving.

Shen Yuan waved his hand and went away.

...

"Now, how am I supposed to return to the Sacred Lotus City without the horse?" Shen Yuan said while walking as he had already left his horse behind.

[Space Intent would have been so helpful at this time.]

Yue Lan's usual playful voice sounded in his head.

"Don't joke with me, I know Space Intent can't travel such a long distance. Even with my nearly inexhaustible reserve of Qi, I won't be able to support it for long." He shook his head.

[Anyways, it was a smart choice that you decided to not fight the Silver Fox Sect with your current strength.]

Yue Lan stopped joking around and spoke seriously.

"Of course, it was a smart choice, but even if I went there, they wouldn't have been able to kill me." Shen Yuan replied confidently as he at least had this much confidence in his techniques and treasures.

[Yes, but what's the point of startling a snake if you can't capture it in one go? Your decision to put the attack on hold was perfect.]

Yue Lan praised his smart choice.

"Oh, how did I forget about that." Shen Yuan said as he took out a flying ship of his mother.

"I can reach the city much faster with this; it wouldn't even take a few hours." He smiled and boarded the ship.

[When will you get a flying artifact of your own?]

Yue Lan's voice sounded as she seemed to be shaking her head.

Shen Yuan laughed and replied, "I will either get one of the best ones or I will have to forge one myself."

[Oh, you have a design in mind already?]

"Of course, it will be a—surprise." Shen Yuan laughed out loud as the ship rose from the ground and began zooming toward the Sacred Lotus City.

[Fuck you!]

Yue Lan cursed as Shen Yuan kept her in suspense.

...

"It's good to be back." Shen Yuan said as he strolled through the streets of the Sacred Lotus City.

The smell of delicious food filled his nose as he walked towards one of the stalls which were selling beast meat.

He paid for a piece and tried it there.

"It's so damn delicious!" His eyes lit up as he tasted it.

He continued walking as he reached one of the beast cub shops.

"Hmm... I need a pet as well; it gets boring to live by myself sometimes." He thought as he entered the establishment.

[You just want something to pet, hmph.]

He shook his head and looked inside the establishment.

Inside, all types of cubs seemed to be caged as Shen Yuan looked at them one by one.

A man who seemed to be the owner of the shop came forward and bowed after seeing the noble aura that Shen Yuan exuded due to his sheer presence.

"Good day, sir. What kind of beast would you like to purchase?" he asked in a polite tone.

"What is the highest tier beast you have?" Shen Yuan asked as he knew the bloodline of a beast has the most effect for a beast's cultivation.

"I have a few beasts with high-tier bloodlines. Here, come this way." He led Shen Yuan deeper into the shop before opening a gate and showing Shen Yuan bigger cages where higher-quality beasts were locked.

"You can look for yourself and see which one you prefer."

Shen Yuan nodded his head and moved forward to look at the beasts.

The first one seemed to be a Fire-Tailed Lion; it was an impressive species whose normal members could reach the Inner Sea Realm.

Moving forward, he saw many different types of beasts, but none seemed to be interesting to him as he continued moving forward.

Until he saw a cute little monster who seemed to be a mix of a lion and dragon.

The beast had silver fur with crimson scales running down its spine and tail like molten lava. Its golden eyes glowed with intelligence, and small black horns curved above its ears, radiating a faint red energy which seemed to be invisible to others.

He couldn't pinpoint the exact reason but the beast seemed to be attracting him for some reason.

He turned towards the owner of the shop and asked, "What about this beast? I don't recognize this species."

The shop owner looked troubled as he saw the beast, "This... Even I'm not too sure about this beast as it is the first time we have seen someone of its kind."

Shen Yuan raised an eyebrow, "Do you have an estimate of how high he can reach by maturity? Or what tier his bloodline is at?"

The shopkeeper looked embarrassed as he saw Shen Yuan looking at him with a questioning look, "We... we estimated its bloodline to be at the peak of Common Tier."

Shen Yuan's eyes twitched as he looked at the shopkeeper, "Why have you put this beast here then?"

"Because we are not sure; we have been feeding it for months but it hasn't grown even an inch," the shopkeeper hurriedly replied.

Shen Yuan shook his head, "Anyways, how much is this beast? I can't stand to see such a low-quality beast dirtying the place of other noble beasts."

The shopkeeper sweated hard as he thought he had gotten an eccentric type of customer. He rubbed his palms while speaking, "It's 5,000 Mid Tier Spirit Stones, Young Master."

Shen Yuan's eyes widened, "5,000 MID TIER SPIRIT STONES? For this useless beast? What can I even do with it for such a high price? I can give you 500 Mid Tier Spirit Stones at most."

The shopkeeper felt like crying as he hurriedly said, "Young Lord, have some mercy and let me earn something as well. How about 2,000 Mid Tier Spirit Stones?"

"Here, take these 1,000 Mid Tier Spirit Stones and consider the deal done." Shen Yuan smiled and pushed the pouch of 1,000 Spirit Stones into the shopkeeper's hand.

The shopkeeper stayed in one place for a while, struggling to make a decision as he didn't want to miss this chance to send away that troublemaking beast while, on the other hand, he felt like he was suffering a loss here.

"You can; I have quite a lot of rich friends who would like to come to the city here to purchase some good-quality beasts." Shen Yuan yawned and said.

The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and accepted the offer, "Very well, 1,000 it is then." He moved forward to unlock the cages and took out the beast.
