Eternal Beast Taming Family

Qingluo tilted her head slightly, her dark, almost bluish hair brushing gently against her ear, and she smiled.

"Our Treasure Pavilion is located outside of towns and cities. We have connections to every town in Paper Kite County. Every customer you meet may come from any of these towns."

Chu Qinhui was somewhat amazed. Whose business was this that could spread its operations over such a large area? It seemed that even the Huo family, the only seventh-rank family in Paper Hawk County, did not have any physical businesses in various towns.

All I can say is that the owner behind the Treasure Pavilion is probably an even more powerful and terrifying figure than the Huo family, Chu Qinhui thought to himself.

The bluebirds that flew out of Qingluo's hands returned from different stalls, each carrying a tray in its beak.

The items that Chu Qinhui had just requested were neatly arranged on an exquisite wooden tray.

Qingluo's slender hand swept across her, and several bluebirds lined up between her and Chu Qinhui.

"These are all you need, a total of 372 Source Stones. I'll round it down for you, so it'll be 370 Source Stones in total."

Next time you come, you'll have to find the spiritual materials you need yourself at each stall.

Chu Qinhui took the items off the tray and put them into the basket on his back. He then took out the Source Pattern Stone from the brocade bag and handed it to Qingluo in front of him.

After Qingluo accepted the Source Stone, Chu Qinhui slung his basket over his shoulder and asked somewhat hesitantly, "Miss Qingluo, may I take a look at the Source Beasts that your esteemed establishment sells?"

Qingluo tucked a stray hair behind her ear with her left hand, her gaze calm. "Okay, please come with me."

The two climbed onto a platform and quickly passed between different floors, skipping the second floor and going straight to the third floor.

Unlike the noise downstairs, the third floor was quieter, but filled with the sounds of various animals.

At a glance, Chu Qinhui saw many neatly arranged cages, in which many young-looking source beasts were either lying or crouching.

There are insects, dogs, fish, rabbits, wolves, and of course, many more different kinds of birds.

Amidst the cacophony on the third floor, the chirping of these birds dominated the majority of the noise.

Seemingly disturbed by the bird calls, most of the other types of source beasts appeared listless.

Chu Qinhui glanced over and the names of the source beasts on the steel cages instantly caught his eye.

Hunting dogs, goldfish, caterpillars, giant rabbits, bluebirds...

The Treasure Pavilion does indeed have a wide variety of source beasts, with twenty or thirty species at a glance, but most of them seem to be mortal-level species.

"Miss Qingluo, do you have any other-tier species?"

Upon hearing this, Qingluo moved her feet, her light blue skirt swaying like grass in the wind.

Chu Qinhui estimated that he had walked to the very center of the hall, where he saw several cages that were almost twice the size of the surrounding cages in terms of internal space.

The different treatment and standards clearly indicate that these are the different-tier species that Chu Qinhui wanted to see.

At that moment, several richly dressed young people were discussing something in front of these cages. Chu Qinhui overheard them and heard that they were discussing the species and aptitude of the source beasts in the cages.

"Young Master Li, look at this broad-eared fox. Its ears are much wider than those of a typical broad-eared fox, so its hearing ability must be much stronger."

Look at its fur; it's light gray and free of other colors, indicating pure blood. Its bright, intelligent eyes suggest it's even more gifted and clever.

Chu Qinhui looked at the main character they were talking about. He had large ears, pure eyes, and was dressed in light gray. He looked young and his body reached up to a person's calves when he was squatting there.

Even to Chu Qinhui's less-than-professional eye, this "Fox with wide ears" was of excellent quality.

The boy, no more than sixteen or seventeen, who was surrounded, seemed dissatisfied, shaking his head and muttering:

"No, this leopard doesn't look imposing enough. Contracting it wouldn't make it look powerful at all. Doesn't your Treasure Pavilion have any source beasts like tigers, leopards, pythons, or crocodiles?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Qinhui smiled. This Young Master Li and Xiao Yuan are quite similar.

The shop assistant who introduced the product to him looked distressed. "Young Master Li, these exotic species are rare to begin with, and one of this quality is also extremely rare in our Treasure Pavilion."

The kind of ferocious source beasts you mentioned can probably only be found within the prefectural city.

Li Shao waved his hand, "Never mind, I'll just have my older brother take me to the prefectural city to buy a Source Beast Contract. Let's go."

He turned around and saw Qingluo and Chu Qinhui behind him, but in his eyes there should only be Qingluo, and the old-fashioned Chu Qinhui was naturally ignored by him.

Li Shao's eyes immediately lit up when he looked at Qingluo. "Sister Qingluo, I can't believe I ran into you today? Is this all the source beasts your family has? Do you have any treasured ones that you can show me?"

A look of helplessness appeared in Qingluo's eyes. "I do have some treasures, but please be patient and wait for ten days, Young Master Li. There will be several source beasts up for auction in ten days. You can come and see if you like them then."

"Will it really take that long? Sister Qingluo, could you give us a heads-up?"

Faced with the yearning in the boy's eyes, Qingluo sighed helplessly again, "There is indeed a tiger-type source beast among them, that's all I can say."

Young Master Li clenched his fist excitedly, "Okay, I'll definitely come to the auction in ten days."

Then, his gaze inadvertently swept over, and he seemed to only then notice Chu Qinhui's presence. "And who is this?"

Her gaze was fixed on Chu Qinhui, but she was asking Qingluo a question.

"The guests at the Treasure Pavilion also want to see the source beasts of different ranks."

Li Shao gave a curt "Oh," then paid no further attention and turned to say goodbye to Qingluo.

As he left, a large group of people, including those who flattered him and his servants, followed him away.

In a short while, the cages in front of the alien species were all empty.

Only then did Chu Qinhui see the appearance of the source beasts in the other different-tier cages.

Two birds, a fox, a tortoise, and a dog are all the heterogeneous source beasts here.

Chu Qinhui glanced around, and finally his gaze settled on one of the two birds.

"Long-browed Blue-winged Finch"

The most distinctive feature of this bird-like creature is its long, ribbon-like, bluish-white eyebrow that extends from above its eyes to its tail.

Its beak is long and pointed, its wings are dark blue, and its tail feathers spread out like a fan, giving it a noble appearance.

The moment Chu Qinhui saw this source beast, he felt that it was perfect for Xiao Han.

Clenching his fist, Chu Qinhui stood in front of the cage of the "Long-browed Blue-winged Finch" and asked softly, "How much is this Long-browed Blue-winged Finch worth?"

Qingluo didn't think Chu Qinhui could buy this source beast, but her tone remained unchanged: "1,300 source stones."
