Chapter 464: Chapter 339: Desolate Ancient City, Ancient Wind Spirit
“As long as my soul pet is much stronger than him, even if I’m still lacking in control, wouldn’t I still be a match for him?” Luo Peng said.
“Naturally, the strength of a soul pet is everything.” w.a.n.g Xu’s mouth curled up slightly.
In fact, w.a.n.g Xu could feel that Soul Hall Chu Chen was likely to be someone like himself, relying on his own strength to step by step reach this level.
However, in w.a.n.g Xu’s view, Chu Chen didn’t pose any threat to him and was at most on the same level as Luo Peng, mingling in the third tier.
“With Brother w.a.n.g’s guidance, I’ll spend the next two months in the Seventh-level Mysterious Realm, improving my soul pet’s strength. By then, I’ll definitely defeat him in front of Miss Tinglan and regain my dignity!” Luo Peng said determinedly.
“Oh, you still can’t forget the beauty of the Soul Hall. I’ve heard that many people have taken a liking to her. It will be quite difficult for you to stand out among so many compet.i.tors.” w.a.n.g Xu laughed.
“I’ll make her look at me in a new light.” Luo Peng said.
In the Hunting Hall
“Young Master, not many people go to the Ancient Wasteland, and the young pet that the employer is asking for is in a very deep and biased place, so this bounty has not been taken up by anyone. The employer had originally planned to cancel it just now…” Xiao Qin briefly explained the conditions of this Level 8 bounty to Chu Mu.
In the southern part of the Ancient Wasteland, there is an ancient city. In fact, the ancient city was once the earliest World City, built thousands of years ago in the center of the Ancient Wasteland. However, the surveyors failed to recognize a very serious problem which was that the location still belonged to the Eighth-level Mysterious Realm.
Thousands of years ago, humans didn’t have the perfect and mature contract and spiritual power of the present. The Eighth-level Mysterious Realm was equivalent to the present Tenth-level Mysterious Realm. It was very difficult for a city to stand in a tenth-level Mysterious Realm.
According to historical records, this ancient city had stood for about 300 years. After 300 years of construction, the ancient city was eventually swallowed by the soul pet groups and became the habitat of many soul pets.
This Level 8 bounty requires hunters to go to the Desolate Ancient City to capture a rather ancient soul pet – the Ancient Wind Spirit.
Ancient Wind Spirit: Elemental World – Wind Element – Spirit Clan – Ancient Wind Spirit Sub-clan – Intermediate Commander Level
Just capturing the Ancient Wind Spirit wouldn’t be too difficult, considering it’s an intermediate commander level soul pet. Intermediate commander level soul pets typically range from 500,000 to 3 million in the market, with higher quality ones going for more.
Putting up a 100 million bounty for such a valuable soul pet would definitely be puzzling for many soul pet masters.
However, Chu Mu understood the employer’s intentions. A truly professional soul pet master wouldn’t only focus on the species ranking of a soul pet when choosing one.
The species ranking of a soul pet represents its innate combat power, and combat power can be improved through later training and the strengthening of spirit items. Many soul pet masters who only pursue high-species soul pets can easily fall into this misconception and trap.
High-ranking soul pets have strong combat power, high skill levels, and possess some exceptional racial skills or advantages. But if it’s not the perfect soul pet for oneself or doesn’t coordinate well with one’s other soul pets, even if its level is raised, its role will be very limited.
A perfect soul pet usually has a specific attribute and ability, which, when paired with one’s other soul pets, can possibly multiply its combat power and instantly reflect its value!
Chu Mu is very cautious when choosing soul pets. Unless he encounters an emperor-level soul pet, if it’s not the one he desires, Chu Mu will still decisively sell it for money and then strengthen his existing soul pets.
The Ancient Wind Spirit demanded by this Level 8 bounty is obviously not a common soul pet and could only have been spotted by other soul pet masters in the Desolate Ancient City after searching many wind-pole regions.
At this time, some soul pet masters who desperately needed the Ancient Wind Spirit for their Wind Soul Pets had no choice but to put up a bounty when they didn’t dare venture into the Ancient Wasteland…
Not just anyone could venture into the Ancient Wasteland, especially the Desolate Ancient City, which was swarming with ferocious beasts and riddled with dangers everywhere. If the employer really wanted the Ancient Wind Spirit, there would be no risk-takers unless the bounty was raised to Level 8.
“Anyone willing to offer a bounty of 100 million for a commander-level soul pet must be an incredible soul pet master,” Chu Mu said.
“Um… Young Master, because you only have a Sixth-level t.i.tle now and don’t have much fame, the employer might not trust that you can complete the bounty, so they might not pay you the 10% commission,” Xiao Qin said softly.
“It doesn’t matter. In one month, at most two, I’ll bring him the Ancient Wind Spirit,” Chu Mu said.
Since Chu Mu was jumping ranks to accept bounties, he didn’t expect to be treated with equal respect by others; he just wanted to be able to undertake the bounty.
“The employer said that no matter when you get the Ancient Wind Spirit, he’ll buy it for 100 million,” Xiao Qin said.
Chu Mu nodded, took the bounty scroll with the more specific information about the Ancient Wind Spirit, said goodbye to Xiao Qin, and went directly to the Soul Hall.
When Chu Mu entered the Soul Hall Main Hall, a female member of the Soul Hall was already waiting for him, presumably the one a.s.signed to him by Lord Yu for the eighth-level hall bounty mission.
“I am Lord Yu’s female attendant – Jia Jing. Are you Young Master Chu Chen?” The young girl calling herself Jia Jing looked at Chu Mu.
“Yes, are there any bounties in the Ancient Wasteland?” Chu Mu nodded and went straight to the point.
“Yes, there are.” Jia Jing recovered from her surprise and hurriedly nodded.
Chu Mu knew that Lord Yu was very careful in not revealing his ident.i.ty when this girl addressed him as “Young Master,” which saved Chu Mu from some unnecessary trouble.
From the previous expressions of Xiao Qin and now Jia Jing, it could be seen that Chu Mu taking on an eighth-level bounty at this age should be almost unprecedented in the Hunting a.s.sociation and Soul Hall…
Jia Jing was also a type of attendant who didn’t dare to ask too many questions. After her surprise, she informed Chu Mu of the eighth-level hall bounty as instructed by Lord Yu.
70 million gold coins, the bounty was set in the northern desert of the Ancient Wasteland, where a group of Desert Mad Edge Scorpions dwelled. The Xuan Zhen Zhe, one of the seven species, needed the venom of the Desert Mad Edge Scorpions to calm its agitation after metamorphosis, and after the successful cooldown, the effect of the Desert Mad Edge Scorpion venom could enter the Xuan Zhen Zhe’s sharp blade, completing the poison enhancement.
Thus, the Hall Official of the Xuan Zhen Hall released this eighth-level bounty in hopes that a team could venture into the northern part of the Ancient Wasteland to collect the powerful venom of the Mad Edge Scorpions.
“How many portions do we need to collect?” Chu Mu asked.
“Collect 1000 portions. For amounts exceeding 1000, each portion will be purchased at a price of 50,000 gold coins. All Desert Mad Edge Scorpions must be at least at the eighth stage or above because only Scorpions above the eighth stage have the poison potency that can satisfy the Xuan Zhen Zhe,” Jia Jing said.
Chu Mu’s eyes lit up, meaning the more Desert Mad Edge Scorpions he killed, the greater the reward. Such an unlimited bounty was extremely rare!
Chu Mu was in dire need of money. Although these bounties seemed very mechanical, they were undoubtedly a great challenge for Chu Mu to surpa.s.s his limits. As long as he completed these two bounties, Chu Mu would never be as miserable as before when he stepped into the Eighth-level Mysterious Realm, and Chu Mu was absolutely confident that he could enhance his strength to the second-tier of the World Decree in these last nine months!
Furthermore, Chu Mu quickly thought of a problem: the poison effect of the Demon Tree Warrior might also be achieved through the lives of these Mad Edge Scorpions!
“Young Master, do you have any other instructions?” Jia Jing had already informed Chu Mu of the bounty details, and seeing Chu Mu’s eyes still on her, she felt it was rather strange and hastily asked again.
“This s.p.a.ce ring contains 100 million gold coins. Give it to Lord Yu and have him buy the Heart of the Nine-tailed Flame Fox for me,” Chu Mu handed the ring to Jia Jing and instructed her.
“Ah? Oh, okay…” Jia Jing clearly didn’t expect Chu Mu to suddenly hand her a s.p.a.ce ring containing 100 million gold coins, but she quickly reacted and hurriedly nodded.
“Alright, go on, have Lord Yu do it as quickly as possible. I want to set off soon,” Chu Mu said.
Jia Jing opened her mouth in surprise. It was her first time seeing a young generation member urging Lord Yu to do something…
When Jia Jing left, Chu Mu took the opportunity to look for the spirit items he needed in the Soul Hall Main Hall. Once he completed the bounties, he could get the Seventh Level t.i.tle and some items would be available for purchase at a discount.
“Young Master…”
As Chu Mu was checking the bounty, a girl’s voice came from beside him. Chu Mu was puzzled as to how Jia Jing had returned so quickly.
“What’s the matter?” Chu Mu didn’t glance at Jia Jing and asked casually. His eyes were focused on the Demon Spirit and Dark Attribute spirit item that the Night Thunder Dream Beast needed.
The young girl who came to Chu Mu’s side hesitated for a moment. She stared at Chu Mu with her beautiful eyes, and after a while, she cast a puzzled gaze at a man in white clothes standing beside Chu Mu.
The man in white clothes also looked at Chu Mu curiously, who had answered for him, appearing quite interested.
Chu Mu noticed the gaze of the two and turned his head. It suddenly occurred to him that this girl was not Jia Jing, and Jia Jing called him Young Master instead of Young Master…
Soul Hall Young Master!
Chu Mu quickly realized that this man in white clothes was one of the nine Soul Hall Young Masters!
