Chapter 55 Tianyuan Tear in Hand, the Choice of the Second Spirit Beast!

In the entire Bai Lin City, who doesn’t know the Bai family’s emblem?

Bai Zian could present that emblem, which signified his origin from the City Lord’s Bai family.

In this context, how could a mere silver-tier beast tamer dare to trick Bai Zian?

Thus, the shopkeeper’s attitude underwent a complete 180-degree change.

“No need for gifts; don’t just throw around a price of ten million Kyushu coins.”

“According to the market price, it’s at most one million; let’s settle on that.”

Bai Zian shook his head slightly. Although he wanted to find a bargain, the shopkeeper was just an ordinary person, not a life-or-death adversary.

Bai Zian had no intention of squeezing him dry; he planned to purchase it at the obvious market price.

With this, the shopkeeper let out a sigh of relief and happily agreed.

After all, if Bai Zian had simply taken these items, the shopkeeper would have faced a considerable loss.

Now that Bai Zian was willing to pay the market price, it was already a good outcome for him.

Naturally, the shopkeeper was extremely pleased.

With that, this business was considered complete.

The diamond-tier material, Tianyuan Tears, had finally fallen into Bai Zian’s hands.

Unlike the previous situation in Candlefire City, where there were young masters or beast tamers trying to meddle and compete with him for resources, that didn’t happen here.

That was inevitable.

In Candlefire City, there weren’t many who recognized him, after all.

But Bai Lin City was his territory!

It would be absurd if he were still subject to being put down by others in Bai Lin City.

After all, who in Bai Lin City didn’t know that he, Bai Zian, was the biggest young master around?

With that thought, Bai Zian stored away the Tianyuan Tears and slowly left the rundown shop.

“The three main materials for crafting Awakening Essence are: Nixia Secret Leaf, Qingyun Dew, and Tianyuan Tears.”

“Now, I have already obtained two; only the final Qingyun Dew remains.”

“If luck is on my side, I can refine the Awakening Essence and try to awaken my second beast taming talent.”

As he walked, Bai Zian’s eyes sparkled with uncontainable joy.

He never expected the progress in collecting the materials for the Awakening Essence to be this swift.

In just a few days, he had gathered most of the materials, with only one left.

If he got lucky and found the last material, his wish to awaken a second beast taming talent might just become a reality.

The most important point was that he had only explored a part of Bai Lin City’s five large markets.

There was still one open market and one black market that he hadn’t visited yet due to their relatively remote locations.

There was a chance he could find what he was looking for in those large markets.

With this in mind, Bai Zian continued to stroll around.

Over the next two days, Bai Zian thoroughly explored the remaining two large markets.

However, this time, his luck wasn’t as good. Sёarch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Although he walked through all these markets, he didn’t find the diamond-tier material, Qingyun Dew.

This left Bai Zian feeling a bit helpless.

“It’s a pity; I initially thought I could gather all the materials for crafting the Awakening Essence in one go.”

Bai Zian sighed inwardly.

Of course, while he felt some regret, he wasn’t disheartened.

He had been mentally prepared for this.

If diamond-tier materials were so easy to come by, they wouldn’t be classified as diamond-tier.

Moreover, Bai Zian had another avenue to explore.

That was the power of the Bai family.

Previously, Bai Zian had entrusted Bai Jingchong to help him collect these materials.

Several days had passed, and perhaps Bai Jingchong had received some new information.

For this reason, Bai Zian remained optimistic.

“However, speaking of which, even though I didn’t find Qingyun Dew, I didn’t come away empty-handed.”

Bai Zian murmured as he took out three special crystals.

These were the crystal cores from a spirit beast known as the Rubber Gel Bone Ape.

The Rubber Gel Bone Ape was a gold-tier spirit beast, and due to its properties—muscles like rubber and bones like gel—it could stretch its form.

Because of this, the Rubber Gel Bone Ape also gained a special inherited skill called Size Adjustment.

As the name suggests, this skill allows a spirit beast to enlarge or shrink its body.

To be honest, Bai Zian thought this skill would be perfect for the White Shadow Giant Scaled Fish.

At its current stage, the evolution goal for the White Shadow Giant Scaled Fish was a whale-type spirit beast.

Thus, the White Shadow Giant Scaled Fish’s size already far exceeded that of other spirit beasts of the same level.

While a larger size could amplify a spirit beast’s strength, it sometimes brought along inconveniences.

Like right now, Bai Zian couldn’t summon the White Shadow Giant Scaled Fish on the street.

If there were a skill that allowed the White Shadow Giant Scaled Fish to freely control its size, that would be ideal.

For this reason, Bai Zian had set his sights on the crystal core of the Rubber Gel Bone Ape.

So, when he spotted the crystal core for sale in the market, he promptly purchased it.

This was a nice gain for Bai Zian.

As for the second beast he desired, during the time he was scouring the markets for materials, he also kept an eye out for spirit beast cubs and eggs.

Although several decent spirit beast eggs appeared in the large markets, Bai Zian ultimately didn’t make a purchase.

He found that many of the spirit beast eggs and cubs didn’t meet his standards.

Some had low growth potential and could only reach the gold-tier.

Others were water-type spirit beasts, overlapping in attributes with the White Shadow Giant Scaled Fish.

Given multiple factors, Bai Zian still didn’t choose any of these spirit beasts.

It seemed he would have to tap into the Bai family’s resources.

He decided to ask his grandfather if there were any good sources for spirit beasts.

Thinking of this, Bai Zian had already made up his mind.

With that thought, he left the market and returned directly to the City Lord’s Mansion.

Upon arriving at the City Lord’s Mansion, Bai Zian happened to see his grandfather, Bai Jingchong, returning home as well.

So, Bai Zian quickly approached his grandfather and chatted with him.

After a while, Bai Zian finally expressed his thoughts.

“Grandpa, I have successfully broken through to the Black Iron tier and can contract a second spirit beast. Do you have any good recommendations?”

Bai Zian directly inquired of Bai Jingchong.
