Beast Taming Begins with Involuting Pets

Lin Manman suddenly realized, no wonder he was so mysterious.

"The people doing business here are all professionals. After we go in, you must pay attention to your words and actions to avoid offending people who should not be offended. In addition, the waters here are complicated, and there are good and bad things. If there is anything you want to buy, let me take a look first." Qiu Xiangjing led Lin Manman through the intricate alleys while giving careful instructions.

"Also, there are usually a lot of people at night. You are not familiar with the environment, so you must follow me closely."

Lin Manman listened quietly, nodding from time to time to show that she understood. Relying on the identification function of the system, she was not worried about being cheated at all, but was full of expectations.

After turning the seventh or eighth bend, the narrow alley in front of me suddenly opened up. The road, which could only accommodate two land vehicles, was bustling with people. There were shops and street stalls on both sides of the road, and it was very lively with bright lights.

"Should we go directly to see the spirit beasts or take a walk first?" Qiu Xiangjing looked at the overwhelmed Lin Manman, with a hint of smile in his eyes. Qiu Xiangjing was quite familiar with the Lin family. In his impression, Lin Manman was a well-behaved but unambitious girl. However, when the family suffered a series of misfortunes, this young girl was able to quickly adjust her state and shoulder the family, which really impressed him.

"Let's go check out the spirit beasts first." If someone meets the requirements, maybe she can also complete the awakening materials here.

Qiu nodded to the scenic spot and walked to the front to lead her.

After turning two more streets, the two came to an alley with less traffic. There were four or five shops on both sides of the alley, and looking at the signs, they were all spirit beast shops.

The environment of these spirit beast shops is much worse than that of regular shops in the city. Two of them even put the cages of the spirit beasts directly outside the door.

Lin Manman drove the system to several stores one by one and found 16 spirit beasts that met the requirements. It turned out that the probability was high with a large base number. Unfortunately, she and Qiu Xiangjing couldn't take all of them with their savings, not to mention that she wanted to pick up bargains on the black market.

The two discussed it and decided to order nine bronze-level spirit beasts first, and the rest would have to wait until next time.

"You transfer the deposit to my anonymous account and I will pay." Professionals like Qiu Xiangjing are frequent visitors to the black market, and he is most familiar with the rules here.

Seeing that the other party had thought it through, Lin Manman followed his instructions.

The total price of the nine bronze-level spirit beasts was 2.8 million. After paying a deposit of 800,000, they agreed with the boss to come and pick them up before the market closed. Then the two of them came to the crowded central market again. This time, it was Qiu Xiangjing who followed Lin Manman closely, while Lin Manman looked around with interest.

It must be said that the black market is worthy of being called a black market. Not only are the materials 20% to 30% cheaper than those in regular stores, but there are also many more varieties. Lin Manman doesn't know much about things, but fortunately she has a system, which she uses to browse all the way.

"Uncle Qiu, I see they're selling secret realm maps here. Are the maps here more detailed than the ones sold in the official adventure store of the Professional League?" Lin Manman was puzzled when she saw a street stall selling maps surrounded by people.

"The maps compiled by the Alliance for the purpose of protecting professionals are of course very detailed, but many expedition teams will not necessarily report to the Alliance when they find good things in the secret realm. If their expedition team is not strong enough to obtain the items, they will exchange the maps for money. However, the transactions in the black market are mixed, and of course some of these maps are real and some are fake. It all depends on the experience and luck of the buyer."

Lin Manman nodded thoughtfully. There are rules above and countermeasures below. It seems that even if there is a professional alliance to restrain the professionals, it cannot guarantee the darkness that breeds interests.

"Uncle Qiu, let's go to that stall and take a look." Lin Manman saw that there were not many people at a stall. There were not many valuable materials on the stall. Most of them were things with little energy fluctuations.

"There's nothing useful in that stall. It's just to fool those who are looking for a bargain." Qiu Xiangjing was helpless. His little niece had just awakened her profession. Her father probably never told her about the professional expedition team before, which made her curious about everything.

Little did he know that it wasn't just Mr. Lin who didn't want to tell the truth, but that a certain girl who just wanted to live off her parents didn't want to hear it.

Lin Manman, who was hoping to pick up a bargain, choked up. Any professional could tell that the materials had energy fluctuations, so there was no chance for her to get a bargain.

Lin Manman had no way of explaining why she relied on the system to avoid being tricked, so she could only pretend to be innocent and walked towards the stall out of curiosity.

The stall owner was an old man in his sixties. He was skinny and lying on a recliner, fanning himself with a tattered palm leaf fan, with his eyes closed, almost asleep. When he noticed someone coming over, he just raised his eyelids and didn't even say hello.

Lin Manman couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth. Does this mean that she feels her things are worthless and she has no confidence in being stolen or robbed?

Scanning the items on the stall through the system, she actually found two special things: a small gray-brown stone with a somewhat strange shape and a blood-red gem the size of a pigeon egg.

[The withered seeds of the tree of life no longer have any breath of life and cannot be planted. ]

[High-level mythical Earth Tyrant blood essence, spiritual beasts have a chance to improve their bloodline when swallowed. ]

Lin Manman didn't expect that she would encounter something related to the Tree of Life so soon, but it was a pity that it had withered and had no effect at all. For a moment, she felt that it was fate that was playing tricks on her, and even when she saw the effect of the essence and blood, her mood did not fluctuate much.

When she was thinking about how to ask the boss for the price without appearing too deliberate, the rainbow jade hanging around her neck suddenly woke up. The rainbow jade, which had lost its mimicry, disappeared from her neck and appeared on the stall the next second, with a water-blue bead curled up around its body, and it spat out its tongue at Lin Manman.

"Hiss." Master, I want to eat this.

"A level 2 water-attributed spirit beast crystal core is just right for it. Three hundred thousand Chinese coins, no bargaining."

The old man who seemed to have fallen asleep on the recliner spoke slowly.

Lin Manman was startled. It turned out that he was not indifferent, but was just brave and skilled. She took another look at the bead that was tightly wrapped by Hongyu. It turned out to be a level 2 water-attributed spirit beast crystal core.

"Boss, what's the price of this ruby?"

"Half a million."

"Is this more expensive than a level 2 spirit beast crystal core?" Lin Manman's words of bargaining were blocked in her throat by the old man's open eyes.

"Although I don't know what this thing does specifically, it was brought out from an S-level secret realm. Five hundred thousand, no bargaining, buy it if you want it, and leave if you don't."

Just by the old man's tough tone, she knew he was an expert. Lin Manman couldn't bargain any more, so she just pretended to smile and pointed at the withered tree of life seed and said, "Okay... I'll take both of them. Boss, can you give me a bonus? How about the stone?"

"You can take it." The old man glanced at the withered seed of the tree of life without paying much attention. This small stone was not his own product. He didn't pay attention to when it appeared in his goods. He just thought it was a small stone with a unique shape.

Qiu Xiangjing hesitated to speak several times, but when Lin Manman agreed to buy it, he still went forward to pay. He did not scold her until the two of them walked a distance away.

"That beast crystal core is fine, it will help upgrade your pet, but I don't see anything special about that ruby. Why did you waste that money on it?"

"The color of this gem is so beautiful, I like it." Lin Manman continued to play dumb.

Although there are still many women in this society who like gems, most families still spend their money on improving their strength, so things like gems are very cheap.
