Chapter 36: Shopkeeper Qian Really Has A Problem

[Extraction completed!]

[Obtained 5 Spiritual Energy]

[Obtained Mystic Beast Egg: Void Cat]

[Note: This Mystic Beast egg is still in the life essence creation stage. It requires a large amount of vitality and spiritual energy for it to hatch.]

Qin Yi was stunned.

Cat laying eggs!?

Err- that's not the main point.

He repeated his surprise.

Mystic Beast Egg!

He had read various books in the system storage, so it was only logical that he knew what a Mystic Beast was.

Beasts in this world are divided into four classes.

The first one is Wild Beast, but this name is actually just a fancy name for an ordinary wild animal. They are considered strong in front of mortals but very weak in front of cultivators.

After all, they are just ordinary wild animals that didn't have the wits and strength on par with Magical Beasts.

The second is Magical Beasts. They are a higher version of the Wild Beast, and they possess supernatural power by cultivating for years like cultivators.

They were even able to improve their intelligence as their cultivation increased.

However, when they were still at the early stage of Rank 1, their intelligence was not much different from that of those Wild Beasts or equivalent to a baby's intelligence but with beastly instincts.

Only when they advance to Rank 2 can their intelligence be on par with that of a five-year-old.

When they reach a higher level, they can even develop the ability to speak like humans and transform themselves into humans using some unique means.

Moreover, they could even cultivate their bloodline, and when their bloodline reached a certain point, they could even transform into Divine Beasts.

Divine Beasts are the noblest and one of the most powerful creatures in the world, and they are also called the darlings of heaven and earth.

They are born with a perfect and extraordinary bloodline. Moreover, Divine Beasts are also blessed with a Divine Ability that makes people both amazed and frightened.

However, as divine as they are, their existence are sporadic and almost disappeared in the four major regions for ten thousand years.

Most people even think that Divine Beasts are extinct from this world, but these people are just ignorant.

According to the records he read, there is still a Divine Beast living in the Vermillion Bird Region. That Divine Beast is a Golden Dragon known as the Guardian Beast of a powerful and ancient empire called the Golden Dragon Empire.

However, that golden dragon had not made its appearance since eight thousand years ago, and only hearsay could be heard ever since.

The last class of beasts is Mystic Beasts.

Mystic Beasts are unique beasts in this world. They could cultivate like Magical Beasts, but their intelligence would remain as low as that of a three-year-old child no matter how strong they grew.

They couldn't even talk like humans.

However, what made them unique was their strange innate talent called Mystic Talent.

Their Mystic Talent is strange and sometimes inexplicable; even the powerhouse cultivators still can't explain the concept behind their peculiar talent.

Also, because of this strange innate talent, they are often caught by pervert cultivators as experimental materials or pets.

Even though Mystic Beasts had low intelligence, they were cautious creatures by nature. Whenever they saw humans or other creatures, they would immediately run away or hide.

Therefore, their current existence was rare, even as rare as Divine Beasts.

And here, Qin Yi unexpectedly extracted a Mystic Beast egg.

Moreover, if he also obtained this Miracle Stone, wouldn't that mean he got two Mystic Beast eggs?

Heaven, that kind of luck always comes unexpectedly.

The problem is, will it be a problem if this egg makes its appearance in public?

After all, this egg is a Mystic Beast egg.

"..."

For a moment, Qin Yi considered the pros and cons of the appearance of this Mystic Beast egg.

Never mind...

Even if he couldn't hold it later, he could hand it over to Shopkeeper Qian.

He would try to take it back if he had enough strength in the future.

With such a thought, Qin Yi finally told Shopkeeper Qian and Gao Peng that he chose this Miracle Stone.

Shopkeeper Qian and Gao Peng didn't question his choice since it was just an Iron Grade Miracle Stone.

After selecting the Miracle Stone, Qin Yi and Gao Peng immediately exited the Seeking Miracle Pavilion in secret.

However, before leaving, Qin Yi didn't forget to extract Shopkeeper Qian, and he was surprised.

This shopkeeper, even though he was only a Sixth Stage of Qi Condensation Realm cultivator; his wealth is bigger than any other Qi Condensation Realm cultivators he had extracted before.

The spirit stones alone came to over ten thousand, plus two Normal Artifacts; one is a whip called Delightful Thorn Whip, and the other is a... candle? But the name is Dropping Fire Lamp.

Maybe it's a lamp, Qin Yi thought.

There are also some rare pills like the Body Nourishment Pill; it's a kind of pill to maintain a healthy body- No, it's actually just a diet pill.

There's also a Brain Nourishment Pill... what the heck?

Why is there such a pill?

And why is this silly shopkeeper collecting a pill like that?

***

The atmosphere outside was still as lively as before. Although most of them just watch the fun, only a few are willing to be the subject of the spectacle.

Qin Yi heard that not long ago, there was someone who obtained a Human Grade cultivation technique book from a Silver Grade Miracle Stone.

Even though it was only a Human Grade cultivation technique, it was utterly unheard of in this region.

People began to suspect that perhaps this cultivation technique came from ancient times. If so, it was only natural that people had never heard of such a cultivation technique.

Qin Yi was a little curious about that person, but regrettably, that person seemed to have left here.

Maybe he was afraid of being robbed by others.

After all, a cultivator robbing another cultivator was nothing unusual.

A few minutes later, Shopkeeper Qian finally came out of the Seeking Miracle Pavilion with a new batch of Miracle Stones, and then he put them on the shelf.

"Come on, it's time for work." Gao Peng said in a small voice.

Qin Yi didn't say anything. He followed Gao Peng closely behind.

When Gao Peng entered the stage, the audience was surprised to recognize him immediately and made all kinds of exclamations.

"It's Gao Peng!"

"Yeah, he's a lucky guy!"

"There he is, an outer sect disciple of the Sleeping Dragon Sect. I saw him last year when he shattered a Miracle Stone, and guess what he got?"

"Could it be that he got a Normal Artifact?"

"That's right! But he got it from the Iron Grade Miracle Stone, and he got it right away after a few tries. I heard from others that he always gets a treasure every time he comes here, whether it's an artifact, pill, martial arts book, or something like that."

After hearing that, some people who had heard about Gao Peng for the first time began to express their doubts.

After all, how could someone be so lucky so many times?

"Don't you guys think that this guy named Gao Peng might be an influencer? I've seen this kind of person before. That kind of person was too shameless and always tried to cheat people to buy a fake product!"

The informer immediately shook his head and said, "Of course, I also initially thought so. However, after I stalked this person for a month, I discovered that this person has a clean and good reputation both in the sect and this city. He is famous for his friendliness and honesty. Such a person would not dare to deceive us."

When he spoke good things about Gao Peng, the listeners were more focused when he said he stalked Gao Peng for a month.

Their expressions became strange as they looked at the informer.

You stalk him for a month, and you proudly talk about it to the public?

Generally, stalking people is not strange and unheard of, but people usually only do it for scouting and intelligence gathering.

They will only talk about the target's information if there is a fee.

But this guy talks about it proudly like he's a devout stalker.

Never mind, there are always people like this in the world.

The listeners again gossiped about Gao Peng and occasionally shouted Gao Peng's name from afar.

Meanwhile, Gao Peng and Qin Yi are still selecting the Miracle Stones that Shopkeeper Qian had just brought out.

However, Qin Yi accidentally saw Gao Peng's slightly conflicted face. Thus, he asked curiously: "What's wrong? Why didn't you choose hurriedly? The people there have already shouted your name several times. Even I didn't expect you to be popular, not only within the outer sect but also in this city. Brother Gao, admire~ admire~."

Gao Peng's face became a little embarrassed, and then he coughed awkwardly: "Forget about it, now I'm facing a problem..."

"What is the problem?" Qin Yi tilted his head in puzzlement.

But suddenly, his eyes shot up: "Don't tell me, you forgot the shape and pattern of the fake Miracle Stone?"

"Not that!" Gao Peng immediately denied it, "I still clearly remember the shape and pattern of the fake Miracle Stone, but… I don't see it among the Miracle Stones that Shopkeeper Qian just brought over."

"How is it possible? Are you sure you just can't remember?"

"I'm one hundred percent sure that I haven't forgotten it at all!"

"Maybe you missed it, let's look one more time!"

"No way, I've scanned it many times but it's useless. I suspect that Shopkeeper Qian forgot or brought the wrong Miracle Stones..."

Qin Yi was surprised to hear that.

This...

Don't tell me that shopkeeper really has a brain problem?
