13: The first buyer of Shengwudan
“Welcome aboard this train. Please sit tight and hold on. Please purchase a ticket upon boarding. The fare is one hundred and twenty low-grade spirit stones per ticket.”
“Still need a ticket?” Feng Zhi frowned. “Do we have to buy one?”
“Since we’re already on, we might as well buy it. It’s not expensive,” Ge Yunying said, spreading her hands.
None of the three of them were short on this amount of money.
Wang Yi glanced at them both and said, “Buy it. If you don’t have spirit stones, Feng Zhi, I’ll pay for you.”
“Brother Wang, what kind of talk is that? How could I not have even that many spirit stones?” Feng Zhi scratched his head, saying awkwardly, “Then let’s buy tickets.”
When these three boarded, Lin Feng had already used his Eye of Truth to see their identities and experiences.
Among the three, the one with the most authority was the tall Wang Yi. This fellow had no simple identity; he was the personal disciple of the Director of the Beast Taming Bureau, one of the Three Great Powers of 155 Fortress, and also a highly talented Beast Tamer.
This was the first time Lin Feng had seen a Beast Tamer.
The number of Beast Tamers in the entire 155 Fortress could be counted on one hand. A Beast Tamer could control his contracted fierce beasts to fight. Fierce beasts of the same rank were inherently stronger than Martial Artists, so when a Beast Tamer and a Martial Artist of the same level faced off, the Beast Tamer would almost certainly win without suspense.
Moreover, if a Beast Tamer’s contracted fierce beast died in battle, it would not affect the Beast Tamer himself; he could find another fierce beast to contract.
The Martial Artists were absolutely envious.
This was also why the Beast Taming Bureau could become one of the Three Great Powers of the Wall.
However, the Beast Taming Bureau was not entirely composed of Beast Tamers; the majority were still Martial Artists, with only the higher-ups being Beast Tamers.
Wang Yi was a Level Three Beast Tamer, and the beast he had contracted was a Mystic Horned Beast. Its level was the same as its master’s. When Wang Yi advanced to Level Four, the Mystic Horned Beast would also advance to Level Four.
As the personal disciple of the Director of the Beast Taming Bureau, Wang Yi never lacked spirit stones; he could always grab a handful at any time.
Ordinary Martial Artists would feel immense pain just to produce a hundred low-grade spirit stones, but Wang Yi didn't even carry low-grade spirit stones when he went out; his storage bag was full of mid-grade and high-grade spirit stones.
Lin Feng accepted the two mid-grade spirit stones he took out, then returned a ticket and eighty low-grade spirit stones to him.
Upon seeing this, Feng Zhi also quickly took out one hundred and twenty low-grade spirit stones and exchanged them for a ticket.
This young man was also in the Beast Taming Bureau, but he wasn't a Beast Tamer; he was a Martial Artist, not very strong, the kind who usually did odd jobs.
Because he and Wang Yi came from the same place and had known each other since childhood, Wang Yi was willing to let him tag along.
“Mine too.” Ge Yunying also exchanged spirit stones for a ticket.
Ge Yunying was not from the Beast Taming Bureau; she was a Martial Artist who had not joined any faction, and her strength was not great, only a Level 2 Warrior.
But she was very clever, skilled at outsmarting fierce beasts or enemies, and was considered the strategist of their small group.
Compared to Feng Zhi, Wang Yi preferred to team up with Ge Yunying.
“We’ve all bought tickets, so what’s so special about this train anyway?” Feng Zhi started to feel the pinch of his one hundred and twenty low-grade spirit stones.
“Its special quality is that it can appear in the Inner Circle and hasn’t been smashed to pieces by those high-level fierce beasts,” Ge Yunying analyzed.
Lin Feng: Excellent, excellent, I love to hear that.
“Yunying is right. We’re tired from chasing the fierce beast, so let’s rest in this train for a while,” Wang Yi said.
As soon as the three of them sat down, words reappeared before their eyes:
“Do you need to buy pills? Martial Enhancement Pill, Advancement Pill, and Healing Pill are all available, first come, first served!”
It's not easy to meet rich people. Not to scam... ah no, not to sell some pills would be a disservice to himself!
So Lin Feng didn't wait until the passengers were about to get off, like last time; instead, he told them as soon as they boarded.
“Sheng Wu Dan?”
Ge Yunying’s eyes lit up.
Of course, she had heard of the Sheng Wu Dan, but it was simply unobtainable in 155 Fortress; it had a price but no market.
“If you need it, I’ll buy it for you,” Wang Yi displayed his generous nature.
Lin Feng: I just love such simple qualities!!
Ge Yunying did not agree immediately, but said, “Let’s ask how it’s sold first. If it’s too expensive, then we won’t buy it.”
She usually saved up some money, so she didn't need Wang Yi to pay. The main reason was that getting involved in money disputes always made one feel uncomfortable, so she preferred to spend her own money.
“There’s also the Advancement Pill, Brother Wang. Your contracted fierce beast might be able to use it,” Feng Zhi said.
“Sheng Wu Dan Efficacy: Martial Artists below Level Five can increase two Qi Vortexes after consumption. Price: One thousand low-grade spirit stones.”
“Advancement Pill: Fierce beasts below Level Three can advance one rank after consumption. Price: Two thousand low-grade spirit stones.”
“Healing Pill: Martial Artists below Level Five or fierce beasts below Rank Four can fully recover from external injuries after consumption. Price: Five hundred low-grade spirit stones.”
“Hiss…” Feng Zhi gasped.
The effects of these pills were good, but he couldn't afford the price.
“The price is much cheaper than in the Wall,” Ge Yunying was tempted. “I’ll buy one Sheng Wu Dan.”
She was only Level 2, and her talent was poor. She didn't know when she would form a third Qi Vortex, but one Sheng Wu Dan could increase her two Qi Vortexes, making her a Level Three Martial Artist in one leap!
After speaking, without waiting for Wang Yi to say anything, she took out ten mid-grade spirit stones and exchanged them for a Sheng Wu Dan.
Seeing this, Wang Yi naturally said nothing more.
Unfortunately, the Advancement Pill could only improve the rank of fierce beasts below Rank Three, so he couldn't use it.
Although Feng Zhi really wanted to buy it, the high price deterred him. Wang Yi could pay for his train ticket, but it was impossible for him to pay a thousand spirit stones.
Lin Feng was very disappointed, thinking that at least all three of them would buy one pill each, but in the end, only Ge Yunying bought a Sheng Wu Dan.
So he decided to promote the Healing Pill:
“Are you sure you don’t want to buy a Healing Pill? For only five hundred low-grade spirit stones, it can cure all external injuries! Whether you have minor or severe external injuries, it will heal quickly after consumption. It’s simply an essential pill for home and travel!”
They could all accept the price of five hundred low-grade spirit stones, so under Lin Feng's vigorous promotion, the three of them each bought a Healing Pill.
“I’ll just take the Sheng Wu Dan and upgrade right here on this train. Make yourselves at home,” Ge Yunying said, then swallowed the Sheng Wu Dan and closed her eyes to cultivate.
The effect of the Sheng Wu Dan was indeed very fast. Just a few seconds after she took it, a third Qi Vortex formed within her body.
Then a fourth!
She successfully broke through to become a Level Three Martial Artist!
But that wasn’t all.
Because she suddenly realized that when she absorbed primal energy, the amount of primal energy she could absorb in the same amount of time was more than ten times greater than usual!
The spiritual energy in this train was so abundant!!
