Chapter 20: Spiritual Beast Search Commission
The premium for Grade A honey might be slightly higher, so Boss Gao also offered a price higher than 3 spirit stones to purchase it, the same as Sister Nan's.

Qi Ping naturally accepted this.

A big advantage of doing business with your boss is that it is simple and direct, without so much price haggling and probing.

Qi Ping hates bosses who find a lot of excuses to lower prices the most. It's really annoying to argue with them.

"No problem! I always trust Boss Gao's bids the most."

"Cooperation is a win-win situation. It's the best way to achieve success together. Just patronize Gao's shop more often in the future..."

"You can also ask Gao if you want to buy some expensive things in the future. I am familiar with Qingshifang City and can find the most cost-effective one for you!"

While counting the spirit stones for Qi Ping, Boss Gao introduced his new business to Qi Ping.

Helping people find and buy high-value items is a money-making business that Gao Zhiyuan has recently developed.

Because he is very familiar with Qingshifang Market and has some connections here, he can often buy things with better value for money than the average person.

The inspiration for this business came to him a few months ago when one of his regular customers asked him to help buy something.

It has only been open for a short time, but he has already earned a lot of spirit stones. Even if he has to pay a lot as tribute, it is already very good for him as a cultivator of the sixth level of Qi Refining. The key is that this does not affect his previous business.

You can make double money!

"I just need to buy something and want to trouble Boss Gao!"

Qi Ping originally wanted to talk to Boss Gao about this matter, but he didn't expect that he would bring it up himself.

Sister Nan had already told Qi Ping about Boss Gao's business on the way, so he came up with the idea of asking Boss Gao to help him find out about spiritual beasts and pets.

Because there are very few beast taming practitioners in Qingshi County, there are no large-scale chambers of commerce that specialize in selling spirit beasts. It is not easy to buy a suitable spirit beast here.

It can even be said that even if Qi Ping visited Qingshi Market ten times, he might not be able to find a suitable spirit beast!

Not to mention the time spent, the risks on the journey to Qingshifang City alone were unacceptable to Qi Ping!
"Really? That's such a coincidence! What do you want to buy, Brother Qi?"

Boss Gao looked a little surprised; he didn't expect that business would come so soon.

"I want to buy a spirit beast. I wonder if Boss Gao has any channels for this?"

Qi Ping was not sure whether Boss Gao had the resources in this regard.

"Spiritual beast?"

When Boss Gao heard that what Qi Ping wanted to buy was a spiritual beast, he looked even more surprised.

Because taming beasts is not an easy task!

Everyone knows that a powerful spirit beast can be of great help to oneself, and the method of blood covenant is not difficult to find.

However, under such conditions, not many people in Qingshi County would choose to tam beasts, which shows the problem.

There are two main reasons.

The first reason is that cultivating spiritual beasts is almost the same as cultivating gold-eating beasts.

The cost of breeding most spiritual beasts is often higher than the cost of the cultivator's own cultivation, and this is without taking into account the cost of purchasing the spiritual beast.

For most people in Qingshi County, their cultivation resources are squeezed out of their teeth. Where would they get extra resources to cultivate spiritual beasts?
It is far more practical to use any surplus resources on yourself than to spend them on yourself.

And the spiritual beasts that have not been nurtured and grown do not have the fighting power and are not strong enough to be killed by one blow.

The lack of resources alone has blocked more than half of the practitioners in Qingshi County.

The other issue is the extremely high difficulty of taming beasts.

Imaginary beast taming: After signing a blood contract with the spirit beast, after a period of familiarity, the beast will be able to communicate with its master telepathically, and then fight alongside the master, and even die for the master.

This is obviously wishful thinking!
The actual beast:

It is difficult to force a contract if the spirit beast disagrees... Because of their intelligence and language, it is extremely difficult to communicate, especially for spirit beasts that are naturally unfriendly to humans...

During the battle, they might slack off or even turn against us...

Very disobedient, often causing trouble if you don't pay attention to your pet
……

So many questions!
If an ordinary cultivator encounters any problem, he can declare that he has failed in beast taming.

Moreover, most spirit beasts are difficult to tame, and the stronger they are, the more difficult it is to tame them. Some even have a blood-based hostility towards humans.

Therefore, taming beasts has become a specialized path of cultivation, and even requires a dedicated beast taming sect.

From how to choose a spirit beast, how to increase the favorability of a spirit beast, how to train a spirit beast, how to train and fight with a spirit beast... a series of questions require specialized knowledge and skills!
A good beastmaster can make an ordinary spirit beast grow to an extremely powerful level, with powers that surpass its own bloodline.

This is why Boss Gao was so surprised when he heard that Qi Ping wanted to buy a spirit beast.

However, he had no intention of delving into the matter further. For a businessman, asking too much about customers' affairs is a big taboo. Boss Gao is well aware of this and naturally would not be so stupid.

As long as Qi Ping has a need, he can provide a solution and then earn spirit stones.

So Boss Gao thought for a while and said to Qi Ping:
"Of course there are channels. Although there are few people who taming beasts in Qingshi County, Gao still knows some friends who can get spirit beasts. And because there is less competition, the price of spirit beasts is slightly lower than in many places."

Hearing this, Qi Ping couldn't help but feel happy. He had indeed found the right person!

"I wonder if Brother Qi has any requirements for the type of spirit beast?"

"Well, flying beasts are the best, and you can look at other types. If they are cost-effective, other types are also fine. I prefer small beasts..."

"What price range do you want?"

"Within two or three hundred spirit stones. If it's higher and the quality is good, I can consider it. But I need some time to find a way to raise these spirit stones."

Qi Ping's words were rather conservative. For him and Old Man Zhou, two or three hundred spirit stones would not be too surprising, but more would seem a bit too much.

That's why Qi Ping said more and wanted to find a way to raise the funds, so as not to miss out on some spiritual beasts that are more expensive but very cost-effective.

Boss Gao also understood what Qi Ping meant. He could come up with two or three hundred spirit stones, and he could also find a way to get a slightly higher amount. In this way, he would know what price would be appropriate to find a spirit beast for Qi Ping.

"Are there any requirements regarding the age of the spirit beast?"

Generally speaking, the younger the age, the easier the contract is, and it is more suitable for cultivating tacit understanding, so the corresponding price is higher.

"It's all right. As long as an adult spirit beast is cost-effective, it's fine. But the price has to be lower!"

After that, Boss Gao asked several questions in succession, some of which Qi Ping had not even thought of.

I have to say that Boss Gao is very professional. He grasped Qi Ping's specific needs in just a few words.

"I understand. I'll find a few suitable spirit beasts and give them to you along with their information and prices. Then you can choose the one that suits you best!"

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Boss Gao!"

"It's no trouble, no trouble. Brother Qi and Sister Nan are willing to trust me. It's my honor, so I will do my best to fulfill your request!"

Sister Nan, Qi Ping, and Old Man Zhou are all clients he has been working with for a long time, and only to these clients will he take the initiative to mention his purchasing agency business.

Otherwise, if Sister Nan didn't want the spiritual fertilizer raw materials that he had found in advance, and if Qi Ping didn't want them after he had worked so hard to find several suitable spiritual beast sellers, wouldn't that be a waste of his time to earn spiritual stones?

This purchasing agency business is based on his personal connections and information resources. Once the transaction is completed, it will benefit both him and Qi Ping.

But all of this must be built on trust.

After Qi Ping and Sister Nan completed the transaction at Zhiyuan Chamber of Commerce, they said goodbye to Boss Gao and left, and Boss Gao immediately searched for information about Qi Ping's spirit beast.

Qi Ping's order is not small. If he completes the commission, he can also make a small profit.

Making money is not easy, and every opportunity to earn spirit stones is worth cherishing, especially something like this which is not dangerous.

Moreover, he noticed that Qi Ping mentioned cost-effectiveness many times in the conversation just now, so if he could find a spiritual beast that was of high quality but difficult to sell for some reason, there was a high probability that Qi Ping would choose it!
