Chapter 150: Chapter 95: Abundance in the Basin and Bowl, Second Tier in Sight!_2
 

Aside from traveling, he’s really not up to par in other areas.

Like earlier, when they encountered danger, he had to use talismans to protect the Iron Feather Eagle.

If there was a bit more commotion, the Iron Feather Eagle would get scared and go out of control.

If they were being pursued, relying on the Iron Feather Eagle, it would be hard to get away.

“If I could do a system draw and get a flying pet beast, that problem would be solved directly,”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

In his opinion, if he could draw a flying pet beast from the system, that would be ideal.

After all, any pet obtained from the system draw was likely to be of Heavenly Grade bloodline.

“However, even if I drew a flying pet beast, if it’s a cub, it wouldn’t be easy to raise,”

“Moreover, a pet beast that’s too rare and unusual would be too conspicuous if ridden in public, and could easily be remembered by others,”

Lu Changsheng thought of the Nine Netherhound he had been raising at home and slightly shook his head.

He felt that without sufficient strength, even owning a rare pet beast wasn’t advisable to take out casually.

Like the Nine Netherhound he had been keeping at the Lu Family, which had been raised for nearly four years and was beginning to show its extraordinary nature.

He estimated that in another three to five years, it would be obvious at a glance that it was not an ordinary demon beast and that its bloodline grade was high.

“By then, I’ll just have to keep the Nine Netherhound in the Spiritual Pet Bag and carry it with me,”

“Or, as I considered before, find a mountain range where I can let it grow up on its own,”

Lu Changsheng mused.

If released into the wild, his only concern was that the Nine Netherhound might encounter danger.

After all, the Nine Netherhound currently only had the strength of an early First Grade demon beast.

And that’s not very strong.

Thinking of the Second Rank Beast Taming inheritance he had just acquired, Lu Changsheng took out the Jade Slip to review its content.

To see if there were any methods that could help the Nine Netherhound grow.

“The Purple Gold Rat, a high-rank demon beast with a metallic bloodline, is to be typically fed spiritual materials and ‘Golden Spirit Rice’ in a ratio of seven to three for its spirit food…When advancing to Second Rank, ten jin of metal ore and one demon rat’s core…”

“The Azure Scale Snake, a high-rank demon beast, snake eggs to be soaked in a mixture of ‘Azure Jade Liquid’, ‘Spiritual Wood’, and First Grade Spiritual Water to create Spiritual Liquid, placed in a nest made of cold properties for hatching, taking three months to hatch, with daily feeding…”

“The Fiery Flame Bird, a high-rank demon beast…”

This Jade Slip inheritance contained many pieces of information about various demon beasts.

It described how to cultivate, tame, and train them into spiritual pets, allowing them to grow rapidly.

At the end of the Jade Slip, there was also a section on Beast Taming Techniques.

It allowed one to communicate with spiritual pets and impress upon them a master-servant contract.

“Although this inheritance doesn’t have specific rearing methods for the Nine Netherhound, based on the cultivation methods for pet beasts detailed here, it boils down to the traditional wisdom ‘three parts training, seven parts nutrition’!”

“It’s essentially about how to ensure the least amount of money is spent for the best possible growth of a spiritual beast during its cultivation,”

After reading the content of the Jade Slip, Lu Changsheng felt somewhat disappointed.

He didn’t seek the Beast Taming inheritance in order to become a Beast Tamer himself.

Himself taming beasts couldn’t compare with the system’s draws.

He simply wanted to see if such an inheritance would be helpful in raising the Nine Netherhound.

But having read it and arrived at such a conclusion, he naturally felt some disappointment.

Even without the Jade Slip, he knew that if the Nine Netherhound were to eat demon beast meat at every meal, it would certainly grow faster than it was now.

“Maybe I really should just release the Nine Netherhound into the wild,”

“Or, I could try releasing it for a while to see what the results are like,”

“Otherwise, growing at this pace day by day, it’s just too slow,”

Thinking of his estimate that the Nine Netherhound would take a hundred years to grow to a Second Rank demon beast, Lu Changsheng was leaning more towards releasing it.

After all, the worst outcome of releasing it would just be losing the pet.

That’s not entirely unacceptable, right?

“Once I have Second Rank talismans and a Second Rank puppet, I can start looking for a suitable place to release the Nine Netherhound,”

“Then I’ll also observe the Nine Netherhound’s survival skills,”

Lu Changsheng resolved inwardly.

A day later,

When nearing Nine Dragons Market, Lu Changsheng switched from the Iron Feather Eagle to a flying artifact.

Then in disguise, he flew on the flying artifact into Nine Dragons Marketplace, procured a temporary identity card, and entered the marketplace.

He entered the city in this guise, naturally to facilitate selling off his spoils.

Without even thinking about it, the loot obtained from the Kou family’s five fiends was not the sort of thing to display openly.

It might attract the attention of interested parties.

So, prudence was crucial.

Mainly, Lu Changsheng was thinking of quickly selling the items for spirit stones.

Otherwise, in a few years or even over a decade, slowly disposing of the items in small batches would be the most secure method.

However, with spirit stones in hand, he would be able to inscribe Second Rank talismans and craft Second Rank puppets.

Having two more cards up his sleeve, he felt his capacity to withstand risks would significantly increase, and thus considered that a little risk was acceptable.

After entering the city, Lu Changsheng made his way to a larger magical artifact shop with practiced ease.

“Esteemed fellow Daoist, what kind of magical artifact would you like to purchase?”

A shapely female shop assistant approached him.

“Is your shopkeeper here? I have second-hand magical artifacts I’d like to sell,”

Lu Changsheng said expressionlessly.

Not long after, the shopkeeper came over beaming with a smile, greeting him, to which Lu Changsheng presented the magical artifacts he intended to sell.

He didn’t bring out all the artifacts at once.

But only the Black Cloud Artifact, two high-quality artifacts, and the damaged magical robe and boots.

“Fellow Daoist, your top-quality artifact is quite severely damaged, not just on the exterior but also with problems in the internal restrictions, so our shop can only offer you eight hundred and twenty spirit stones,”
