Chapter 10: The Monster Selling Arena (Revised)
"Brother, let's go out and take a stroll today. I heard that the Storm Mercenary Guild brought in a large batch of demons last night, including many demon cubs. Let's go try our luck."
Early in the morning, Mo Jia ran to Mo Xin's residence and shouted loudly outside before entering the courtyard.
Mo Xing knew at once that he had found another excuse for not training today.
At this time, Mo Xin was weeding and watering the medicinal herbs he had cultivated in his own yard.
The small medicine field he opened up, after careful care, the planted medicinal herbs grew well. The spiritual gathering array under the medicine field is very useful, and the quality of the medicinal herbs growing in the medicine field can be greatly improved, and the maturation period will also be shortened a lot.
Although the medicine field does not have any particularly precious herbs for the time being, it can still meet his current needs. Before forming a Golden Elixir, Mo Xin did not plan to refine higher-level elixirs either; currently refining higher-level elixirs would be a complete waste of medicinal materials, with too low a success rate and efficacy.
As a great master of alchemy, he knew when to concoct which pill.
In the process of cultivation, elixirs and weapons are very important, but the premise is that one's cultivation must reach a certain level, otherwise even the best elixirs and weapons cannot be used.
"Why didn't you go to Grandpa's place for training today?" Mo Xin asked without turning her head.
"These days I've been doing very well, and today Grandpa gave me a day off." Mo Ge said excitedly.
"Brother, are you going or not? If we go late, the good demons will be snatched away by others. I heard that among the demons caught this time, there are many precious species." Mo Jia said anxiously to Mo Xin, who didn't react much.
"But I'm not really interested in those magical creatures, don't want to go." Mo Xin said leisurely.
Mo Jia da's mind is made up, no need to think about it, he just doesn't have the money and wants to find a scapegoat brother.
"I'm interested, but I don't have any money," Mo Jia said with a somewhat embarrassed tone.
"Otherwise, brother, lend me some, I promise to return it to you later."
Of course, I'll pay you back when I have money in the future, but who knows when that will be. Anyway, you're my brother, so it's normal to suffer a bit, don't think about being taken advantage of.
"How did you think of taming it? Mid-to-low level magical beasts are useless to you, right? You should wait until you have the power yourself and find a high-level magical beast as your own magical pet." Mo Xin asked in puzzlement.
"Some of my friends have their own pets, and besides, there's no one at home to play with me, so I also want to find a partner to play with." Mo Ge heard that his brother didn't refuse, and began an emotional attack.
This time it's Mo Xin's turn to be speechless.
"Alright, I'll go with you." Mo Xin couldn't bear to refuse Mo Jia.
Forget it, he's just an eight-year-old kid, Mo Xin didn't bother to argue too much.
Recently, Mo Gua's cultivation has made great progress, so buying him something is nothing, it can be considered a reward.
Mo Xin's current financial situation is quite comfortable. Every month, he receives money from home, and apart from spending it on alchemy materials, he still has a considerable amount left over. Recently, his grandfather Mo Jian privately gave him a high-authority magic crystal card that allows him to overdraft one million gold coins, so that he can buy rare medicinal materials or precious books when he encounters them.
"Really? That's great, brother! Let's hurry then. If we're late, all the good stuff will be gone." Mo Jia heard his brother Mo Xin's response and excitedly urged him on.
"Wait a minute, I need to get the money first." Mo Xin wasn't particularly interested in the demon beast, but recently he had used some of this world's unique medicinal materials and low-grade magic cores to concoct quite a few pills. However, since no one was willing to test them out, he didn't know what kind of effects they would have, so further research had been put on hold.
Originally, the elixirs were tried by the alchemists themselves, but in this world, many medicinal materials are unfamiliar to Mo Xin. Who knows what effects they will have? Moreover, his current cultivation is not high enough, and he doesn't want to accidentally eat something that would kill himself, which would be too embarrassing.
Find a monster to try it out, maybe it's not a bad idea, Mo Xin suddenly thought.
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
The Gale Mercenary Corps is a B-level mercenary corps with considerable strength, and several high-level professionals. The captain, Yi Yue, is also a 9th-level great swordmaster, and his contracted magical beast is the 7th-level Gale Wolf, which is considered to be one of the more formidable mercenaries in the mercenary world.
The Gale Mercenaries have a history of over 300 years, founded by Yiyue's great-grandfather.
There have been rumors circulating outside that the sponsor of Storm Mercenaries is some nobles from the Imperial City of Divine Dragon Empire.
The Stormwind Mercenary Corps basically captures some demons from the mountains and forests every year, sells them to the nobles in the Imperial Capital, so the mercenary corps is quite famous in the Imperial Capital of the Divine Dragon Empire.
Living magical beasts are much more valuable than magic cores of the same rank, but it is also much harder to capture living magical beasts and the cost is greater.
Including the mercenary group led by Ji Feng, the demons brought back to the Imperial City were mostly mid-to-low level, with few high-level ones, but most of them looked quite good.
Third-level demon beast Fengtus, fourth-level demon beast Huanhuxiong and some lovely, beautiful demon beasts are the favorite demon beasts of the imperial capital's female nobles.
High-level demon beasts are not easy to capture, none of them have weak strength, and high-level demon beasts are also difficult to tame, unless they are defeated by themselves or asked for help from a strong person.
In general, mercenaries will not take the initiative to provoke high-level demons unless their own strength is very strong. Because a powerful demon can wipe out the entire mercenary group.
The chance of a monster cub recognizing its master is relatively high, but the probability of successfully stealing a high-level monster cub and bringing it back is also very low.
Things are precious when they are scarce. If you can really get your hands on a high-level demon beast's cub, it would be possible to sell it for a sky-high price and become rich overnight.
It usually takes dozens or even hundreds of years for a demon beast to grow from an infant to a fully mature one. Feeding the demon beast with crystal cores can shorten its growth period, but the number of crystal cores required is terrifying and not something that anyone can achieve.
This is an even more money-burning job than burning money itself.
This is also why in this world that values strength, there are still people who are willing to sell high-level magical beast cubs and do not want to keep them, the cost is too high.
Even a direct descendant of a large family like Mo's would find it difficult to obtain a high-level magical beast cub, unless they were extremely lucky.
So Mo agreed to go out with Ga and take a look, and Mo Xin didn't have much hope of buying high-end magic beasts either.
Mid-to-low level demons can evolve, feeding them a demon core of a higher rank than the demon itself can accelerate evolution, but the possibility of success is too small, and the possibility of causing the demon to explode is very high, so most people do not take this risk.
As for whether the elixir he refined himself could allow magical beasts to evolve, or to what extent they could evolve, Mo Xin was also very curious.
The specific effect still needs a lot of experimentation to know.
