Chapter 94 Advanced Spirit Pets
Everyone burst into laughter, and Lin Zhifeng laughed so hard he fell onto the table.
He finished laughing, wiped away the tears that had come out of his laughter, and said seriously, "Senior brother, promise me one thing!"
Lin Jun, feeling obligated to help, naturally agreed with a smile, saying, "Just tell me, I'll agree to anything."
Lin Zhifeng said, "If you leave this room, senior brother, don't even mention knowing me. I can't bear the shame!" He then laughed so hard he slapped the table.
The others chuckled quietly as well.
Enraged, Lin Jun slammed his chopsticks on the table and yelled, "You little Lin, trying to make fun of your senior brother, huh?"
After saying that, he grabbed Lin Zhifeng and said, "I'm going to tell everyone that you're my younger brother, what can you do about it?"
Lin Zhifeng had had his fill of commotion and knew when to stop, so he laughed and said, "That's great, I've been needing a good older brother."
With just one sentence, Lin Jun's lips curled into a smile that he couldn't suppress.
The group resumed eating and drinking, commenting on the dishes while reminiscing about their daytime shopping trip with the nuns from the Hundred Flowers Palace.
Lin Zhifeng wasn't very interested in this topic, so he buried himself in his food.
When the bill came, it cost two mid-grade spirit stones, which left everyone speechless. However, although the meal was ridiculously expensive, it was still very delicious, so it was worth it.
The next morning, this group of people and the female cultivators from the Hundred Flowers Palace gathered together again and went to browse other shops in the Hundred Beast Valley Market.
Throughout the day, no one spent much money, not even the female cultivators.
On the third day, supposedly the same things would be available again, so they skipped the market and instead visited the Valley of a Hundred Beasts. They saw the spirit beast breeding farm, hatchery, and training base for spirit pets.
Many disciples and female cultivators from the Hundred Flowers Palace have already paired up and started acting independently. It seems that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, some will soon find their other half.
The fair has reached its fourth day. On this day, the shops selling spirit beasts and birds have updated with new spirit beasts, all of which are of high quality.
High-level spirit beasts are either rarer species or possess unique skills, such as attack, defense, or healing abilities.
The disciples also perked up and began to choose suitable spirit beasts based on their needs and financial capabilities.
Lin Zhifeng hadn't planned to buy a mount at this time. He had plenty of money and intended to buy a rare spirit beast at the auction.
However, he didn't intend to leave empty-handed, since the qualification for the auction required spending a certain amount of money in the days leading up to it.
Lin Zhifeng knew this method was used to limit the flow of customers and select target clients. He had no choice but to follow their rules.
Lin Zhifeng unexpectedly discovered a spirit rat in a shop that sells spirit pets.
This spirit mouse looked almost exactly like his treasure-hunting mouse, except it had a large red bow with white spots tied around its head.
Lin Zhifeng thought to himself: How come even Minnie has come to this world?
He pretended to be curious and asked the shopkeeper about the clever mouse.
The salesperson from Hundred Beasts Valley quickly explained to Lin Zhifeng, "This spirit rat was caught by us; it wasn't bred in the valley. It's a female spirit rat. According to our valley master, this spirit rat is a companion rat to the treasure-hunting rat. Its presence increases the probability of the treasure-hunting rat finding treasure and also reduces its fatigue."
He then added with some regret, "It's a pity we haven't caught any treasure-hunting rats in our valley recently, otherwise these two could have fetched an astronomical price. The guests wouldn't be seeing them here; they should be at tomorrow's auction."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhifeng exclaimed, "What a coincidence! I happen to have a treasure-hunting rat here. If I buy this one back, it will be perfect for reuniting the couple."
However, Lin Zhifeng did not intend to tell the people of Hundred Beast Valley about his possession of the Treasure-Seeking Rat. He also did not show any determination to obtain it, and simply asked, "How much does this spirit rat cost?"
The person from Hundred Beast Valley said, "It will cost one thousand high-grade spirit stones." He then continued, "This is only because there's one female. If the male were included, it would probably cost a million high-grade spirit stones!"
Lin Zhifeng said, "Oh dear, you said it yourself, this is the only female left! The price is a bit high."
The shop assistant said, "How about this, if you buy it, I'll give you a ticket to the auction!"
Lin Zhifeng became interested, "One is too few, give me a few more."
The shop assistant said, "This is a special case for our valley. According to our rules, you need to spend 10,000 high-grade spirit stones in the first six days to get an admission ticket to the auction. I'm already making an exception for you."
Lin Zhifeng said, "Well then, I won't ask for more. Just give me two admission tickets. We're on our way to the auction to spend money; we don't like anything here."
The shop assistant looked at Lin Zhifeng, who was clearly a disciple of the Sword Sect, and thought to himself: You disciples of the Sword Sect are notoriously poor, yet you have the nerve to say you're going to the auction house to spend money? Do you even know how much the starting bid for a spirit pet at the auction house is?
However, he only grumbled inwardly; the employees of Hundred Beast Valley were still very professional.
Finally, the employee gritted his teeth and stamped his foot, saying, "Fine, I'll do you a favor and give you two admission tickets. But don't tell anyone else when you leave, or my boss will punish me."
Lin Zhifeng smiled and nodded in agreement.
Lin Zhifeng transferred 1,000 high-grade spirit stones to the shop assistant and received the spirit rat.
The clever rat was not too happy, but it did not say anything.
Lin Zhifeng felt that it must be pretending, and it had never spoken in front of anyone.
Its cautiousness is far superior to that of its own treasure-hunting mouse. It's definitely a girl!
Lin Zhifeng took the spirit rat and put it directly into the storage ring containing the treasure-hunting rat, letting the two little ones meet on their own.
That day, Lin Jun and his companions emptied their savings to buy themselves spirit pets or mounts.
On the fifth and sixth days, Lin Jun and his companions, short of money, stopped visiting the market. Those with girls they liked went out alone as couples; those without stayed on the flying vehicle to nurture their bond with their spirit pets.
Lin Zhifeng released the treasure-hunting rat and its girlfriend at night when no one was around. Sure enough, the female spirit rat also came from the same world as the treasure-hunting rat. It had followed the treasure-hunting rat's tracks to find it after the latter went missing.
The good news is that it has finally found the treasure-hunting mouse, but the bad news is that both mice are now trapped here and can't get back.
Fortunately, both hamsters are very easygoing. Now that they have each other for company, they feel that life in this world is not bad.
Lin Zhifeng also formed a spirit pet contract with the mother mouse to prevent her from getting separated and being kidnapped by someone else.
On the fifth and sixth days, Lin Zhifeng went to the market with Ding Mo. The others were out of money, and only the two of them still had bulging wallets. As for the Ninth Elder, although he was rich, he already had a spirit pet and had no interest in these things.
Ding Mo had been visiting the market for days, mainly to obtain tickets to the auction. He had high standards and a wealthy family, so he was unwilling to make a purchase easily and only planned to try his luck at the auction.
Lin Zhifeng and Ding Mo walked around for a while but didn't find anything they wanted to buy.
Ding Mo was about to buy something casually to exchange for an admission ticket when Lin Zhifeng stopped him, saying, "Uncle-Master, I have two admission tickets for the auction here. Why don't we go together tomorrow?"
Ding Mo hadn't been with him the past few days and didn't know about his purchase of the spirit rat. Therefore, she asked in surprise, "What did you buy? You actually got two admission tickets?"
Lin Zhifeng whispered, "It's an assistant mouse to a treasure-hunting mouse."
Ding Mo knew, of course, that Lin Zhifeng had a treasure-hunting rat, but what was this auxiliary rat all about?
Lin Zhifeng then explained the relationship and origins of the two rats to Ding Mo, who listened with awe. This was solely due to Lin Zhifeng's extraordinary luck.
This auxiliary mouse isn't very useful on its own, but Lin Zhifeng has the treasure-hunting mouse! Didn't this just give him a huge windfall?
Ding Mo couldn't very well take Lin Zhifeng's admission ticket for nothing, so he thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll give you a thousand high-grade spirit stones, consider it as me buying your admission ticket!"
How could Lin Zhifeng possibly accept this?
He only spent a thousand on the auxiliary mouse, and then charged Ding Mo another thousand. Doesn't that mean he got an auxiliary mouse for free?
He shook his head in refusal. Ding Mo said, "If you don't accept it, I'll just go and buy some useless things. I'll make sure I have ten thousand high-grade spirit stones to exchange for an admission ticket."
