"Jade Scale Demon Spider, Fire Crow, Phantom Moon White Fox…"
These three Spirit Beasts were the ones Qi Ping ultimately chose from the seven Spirit Beasts. Qi Ping had already seen their specific information in ancient texts, and it was no different from what Boss Gao had said.
Other Spirit Beasts, like the Shadow Serpent, which cost as much as six or seven thousand Spirit Stones, Qi Ping could only give up on. He couldn't afford them for now.
Moreover, even if Qi Ping could afford it, for his current strength, it would be like a big tree attracting wind. Six or seven thousand Spirit Stones is a completely different concept from over a thousand Spirit Stones, and the possibility of attracting the covetousness of Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators is not small. Perhaps even the seller is a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator.
"These three Spirit Beasts each have their own merits, and they would be quite helpful to me…"
Although the Jade Scale Demon Spider is a single Insects type Yao Beast, its body size is nearly as large as a human head. With its Highly Toxic Spider Silk and Jade Scale Talents, the Jade Scale Demon Spider's combat power is not low, and its Highly Toxic Spider Silk is especially suitable for defending one's home.
At the same time, the Jade Scale Demon Spider also has the Danger Perception Talent, which gives it a premonition of many impending crises. This Talent made Qi Ping drool.
Predicting danger + transforming into Bees to escape for his life, it was simply his dream Talent!
And the Jade Scale Demon Spider could also be cultivated using the Demon Insect Breeding Handbook, giving it extraordinary future potential.
The Fire Crow was also a Spirit Beast that Qi Ping was very tempted by.
In fact, compared to the Jade Scale Demon Spider, Qi Ping was even more tempted by the Fire Crow.
Because the Fire Crow, possessing a trace of the faint Golden Crow Bloodline, has the chance for its Bloodline potential to continuously Awaken as long as it is cultivated with enough fire-attribute Spirit Medicine. Its potential is not inferior to that of the Jade Scale Demon Spider, and it might even be higher!
And Qi Ping's [Plant Growth] skill can cultivate relatively sufficient fire-attribute Spirit Medicine, which just happens to fit this characteristic of the Fire Crow.
For others, cultivating the Fire Crow is too expensive, but for Qi Ping, it's just right, because the Spirit Medicine he cultivates with [Plant Growth] is not suitable for too much exposure, and it's more suitable for raising Fire Crows.
Normally, Fire Crows have no special requirements for food; basking in the sun is enough to fill them, making them easy to raise.
Moreover, what truly made Qi Ping most tempted was that any of the Fire Crow's three main Talents could greatly enhance Qi Ping's fire-attribute Talent.
No matter which of the three Talents Qi Ping shared, his future Cultivation of the Advanced grade Wood Flame Art would be twice as effective, laying a more solid Cultivation foundation.
Once Qi Ping researches and experiments with the Fire Spirit Body Tempering Pill into the Fire Spirit Body Tempering Pill (Honey Version), it will also be a perfect match for the Fire Crow and its Talents.
As for the last and most expensive Phantom Moon White Fox, its priority in Qi Ping's mind was slightly lower than the Jade Scale Demon Spider, but still good.
The Phantom Moon White Fox has high Comprehension Ability and Divine Soul Talent. If Qi Ping could contract one of them, it would be a huge gain, because improving Divine Soul and Comprehension Ability is the most difficult in the Cultivation World.
It's just that currently, for Qi Ping, the demand for Divine Soul and Comprehension Ability Talents is not as great as the demand for Physical Body Aptitude Talents.
Additionally, while the Bee Swarm's combat ability is very strong, it has a clear weakness: it fears Divine Soul attacks.
The Insects are ferocious in their Physical Body and numerous, but once they encounter Divine Soul attacks, they are particularly prone to collapsing.
And the Phantom Moon White Fox's Talent in Divine Soul and illusion arts can, to a certain extent, fill this deficiency and work well with the Bee Swarm.
Overall, Qi Ping was quite satisfied with all three Spirit Beasts.
Currently, in terms of price, the situation for the three Spirit Beasts is as follows:
Jade Scale Demon Spider: Juvenile, suitable for cultivating feelings with the Beast from a young age. Estimated price: around 1,300 Spirit Stones.
Fire Crow: Semi-mature, originally at First-Order Perfection Realm, but due to Bloodline damage, its Realm dropped to First-Order Middle Stage. Further cultivation requires a large amount of fire-attribute Spirit Medicine; its price has been reduced from the normal market value of 3,000 Spirit Stones to around 1,500 Spirit Stones.
Phantom Moon White Fox: Juvenile, estimated price starts at 2,000 Spirit Stones.
The prices of these three Spirit Beasts are not expensive; in fact, they are even lower than the normal market prices Qi Ping understood. Similar to what Boss Gao said before, there are fewer people taming Beasts in Qing Shi County, so the prices are lower.
Therefore, Qi Ping buying Spirit Beasts here is considered a bargain, although there are fewer options to choose from.
While Qi Ping was thinking, Boss Gao waited quietly beside him, not urging him.
After all, this involved items worth one or two thousand Spirit Stones, and any Qi Refining Cultivator would be cautious.
"Boss Gao, I've thought it over. Let's go see these three Spirit Beasts, and then discuss their prices individually. I'll make my final decision on which one to buy."
"Alright, no problem! Each Spirit Beast has a different personality, and you really need to see them in person to feel if they're suitable for you. Shall we go now?"
"Wait a moment first, Boss Gao, do you have black clothes here?" Qi Ping asked.
"Black clothes? Yes, yes! Qi Ping, please wait!"
Boss Gao was first puzzled, then suddenly enlightened, and immediately found a set of black clothes and a hood for Qi Ping to put on.
A moment later, Qi Ping, dressed in black clothes and concealing his Qi, followed Boss Gao into a shop to the north.
This shop sold many Spirit Beasts, and the Jade Scale Demon Spider was one of them.
Qi Ping glanced at the other Spirit Beasts; none of them were as good as the Jade Scale Demon Spider, so he focused his attention on the Jade Scale Demon Spider.
This was a Jade Scale Demon Spider not yet as big as a palm, its entire body covered in white jade-like scales, as if carved from white jade.
