76: Lingyu Card

"Your Highness the Grand Consort and the Little Prince are honored guests, so let me, Deng, show you around!"

Manager Deng smiled slightly, extended his hand, and gestured, "Your Highness the Grand Consort, please follow me!"

"Then we'll trouble Manager Deng!"

Before long, Manager Deng led the group to the basement level.

The basement level was very spacious, appearing to be tens of thousands of square meters, filled with rows of iron cages, each containing various Spirit Beasts.

Among them, there were empty cages, but not many.

"Which type of Spirit Beast does the Little Prince wish to see? I, Deng, can take you there, or you can simply browse around. I, Deng, have nothing to do and can accompany you."

Manager Deng still wore a smile, appearing harmless, but the occasional glint in his eyes showed that he was not so simple!

"Thank you, Manager Deng. My mother and I will just look around. I'm merely curious!" Nangong Yu shook his head and smiled.

"Since that's the case, I'll find someone to accompany you and introduce things!"

Manager Deng smiled and waved to a young woman not far away, "Doukou, take Her Highness the Grand Consort and them for a tour!"

Hearing this, Doukou quickly ran over, curtsied slightly, and said, "Yes, Manager!"

Manager Deng nodded slightly to Shangguan Yuexi, then turned and left.

Doukou looked at Shangguan Yuexi and the other three, curtsied slightly, and respectfully said, "Doukou greets Her Highness the Grand Consort, and the Little Prince!"

"Sister, please trouble you to take us to see those Spirit Beasts. I want to see the beautiful ones!"

Nangong Yu smiled slightly, his gaze already sweeping towards the Spirit Beasts in the distant cages!

These Spirit Beasts were bizarre, but there were also some more normal ones, and regardless of normalcy, quite a few were beautiful.

However, when Doukou heard his words, she quickly shook her head and said with a wry smile, "Little Prince, just call me Doukou; don't flatter me so much."

"Sister Doukou, you don't need to worry. You're older than me, so calling you 'sister' is fine."

Doukou shook her head slightly, glanced at Shangguan Yuexi, and seeing that she didn't speak, dared not say more.

"Honored guests, please follow me!"

With that, Doukou led Nangong Yu and the others around the area with Spirit Beasts of better Bloodlines, introducing any that caught Nangong Yu's interest.

Before long, they had completed a circuit, but Nangong Yu hadn't found any that truly pleased him.

Or rather, those with truly good Bloodlines had all been chosen by the Divine Beast Tower, and those available for sale were often not good items!

And Nangong Yu not only had high demands for appearance but also for Bloodline; otherwise, what would be the point of raising one for thousands of years only for it to die?

Nangong Yu shook his head slightly, "Sister Doukou, I just heard that there are Spirit Beasts for nobles as ornamental pets. I imagine those would be prettier. Can you take me to see them?"

Doukou was slightly stunned, then smiled, "Of course, please follow me!"

The group soon arrived at an area.

Nangong Yu's eyes lit up as he looked at the various Spirit Beasts in the cages.

Here were small birds with colorful feathers, pure white rabbits as white as snow, and even small white foxes with pure white fur and purple pupils... everything one could imagine was there!

Looking at these beautiful Spirit Beasts, Nangong Yu couldn't help but show surprise.

Comparatively, most of those with good Bloodlines were not as beautiful as the Spirit Beasts here!

"They are indeed very beautiful!"

Nangong Yu held his mother's hand, looking at one, then another, his small face full of novelty and excitement!

Indeed!

Creatures from other worlds are so diverse!

If his mother hadn't told him not to get too close, he would have reached out to touch them.

Shangguan Yuexi followed behind Nangong Yu, looking at his smiling face, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

Indeed!

Keeping Yuer confined in Shouxian Palace was not a good choice; he was more suited to this kind of free and happy life!

After a long while, Nangong Yu had seen all the Spirit Beasts, but couldn't help but shake his head slightly, "It's a pity I can't afford to raise them, nor can I manage them all, otherwise, having them surround me every day would be so cool!"

Hearing this, Shangguan Yuexi smiled slightly, "If Yuer likes them, Mother can buy more to keep in the prince's manor's backyard and have people raise them for you to see!"

But Nangong Yu shook his head, "Mother, that would be too wasteful."

He walked directly to a cage, looked at the seven-colored bird inside, and said, "Little Fellow, are you willing to recognize me as your master and leave this place with me?"

Hearing this, a human-like flicker of thought crossed the bird's eyes, and then it nodded.

Seeing this, Nangong Yu looked at Shangguan Yuexi, "Mother, I'll just take this one. I can't raise more, and they deserve better masters!"

Shangguan Yuexi nodded, handed over a white jade card, and said, "Then this one it is. Process the payment!"

Seeing this, Doukou looked troubled and said, "Your Highness the Grand Consort, Doukou won't hide it from you, this little bird is a mutated species of the Spirit Beast Profound Sparrow. After our Spirit Beast Pavilion's appraisal, we found its Bloodline isn't very good, so it was placed here."

"I heard that because it's a mutated species, our Spirit Beast Pavilion fed it Spirit Food for a year, but after a year, it still hasn't reached the Body Tempering Realm. If not for its intelligence, it might even be inferior to ordinary wild beasts!"

"If Your Highness insists on buying it, it will be 1000 Spirit Stones, sold at the price of an ordinary Spirit Beast egg. This is the lowest price set by the Pavilion for ornamental Spirit Beasts!"

Hearing this, Nangong Yu smiled and said, "Mother, Yuer isn't trying to control beasts. This one, with its poor Bloodline and weak strength, is actually quite suitable."

Shangguan Yuexi nodded, handed over a white jade card, and said, "Then this one it is. Process the payment!"

Seeing this, Doukou said awkwardly, "Your Highness the Grand Consort, only the Manager has the Spirit Jade Card, so you might have to wait a moment!"

Hearing this, Aunt Shen quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness the Grand Consort, you forgot that I have Spirit Stones! I'll go pay!"

Shangguan Yuexi heard this and smiled apologetically, "It's been so long since I've been out, I forgot about that. Thank you, Aunt Shen!"

"It's my duty as a Servant Girl!"

She said, and followed Doukou out.

Nangong Yu looked at the white jade card that Shangguan Yuexi had put away, his eyes flickering slightly, and feigned confusion, "Mother, what is this card?"

"This is a Spirit Jade Card!"

Shangguan Yuexi smiled, "Generally speaking, if one has too many Spirit Stones, they are not easy to carry. Therefore, Tianji Pavilion created this Spirit Jade Card."

"It is said that all Spirit Jade Cards on the Xuanling Continent are connected to a mysterious Dao Artifact. Cultivators can deposit their Spirit Stones into the Dao Artifact through the Spirit Jade Card, and can withdraw them at any time when needed!"

"Furthermore, two Spirit Cards can be linked to directly transfer the corresponding Spirit Stones to the other party's Spirit Jade Card, saving a lot of trouble!"
