Chapter 012: The Choice of the First Pet Beast, Elder Bai's Recommendation!
"What? Constructing a Beast Taming Space required that many Spirit Wall Crystals? You spendthrift!"
Hearing Zane's words, everyone froze.
Especially Zane's father, Chengzhi Bai, who couldn't help but shout out.
Close to a thousand Spirit Wall Crystals—that was one billion Kyushu coins.
Even if the Bai family had a substantial foundation, they couldn't be this wasteful, right?
Moreover, these were Spirit Wall Crystals, treasures rarely seen on the market, not comparable to ordinary beast taming materials.
Saying this was excessive was an understatement.
He had never heard that constructing a Beast Taming Space required a thousand Spirit Wall Crystals.
"You brat, what are you yelling for? Shut up."
"Little Zane's Beast Taming Talent is a mutated S-rank talent. What does it matter if he spends a few more Spirit Wall Crystals?"
Elder Bai couldn't help but speak up, scolding Chengzhi Bai directly, then looking at Zane with satisfaction.
Although he was also a bit shocked when he first heard it.
But on second thought, Elder Bai felt relieved.
Because this didn't seem like a bad thing.
As everyone knew, the more Spirit Wall Crystals consumed, the stronger the constructed Beast Taming Space, and the greater the help it would provide in the future.
The more Spirit Wall Crystals Zane spent, the higher his aptitude.
Moreover, Zane's talent was a mutated talent, which was extremely rare in history.
It seemed normal to have some special manifestations.
Most importantly, these Spirit Wall Crystals were used on Zane.
This was his most beloved grandson; Elder Bai wouldn't feel distressed even if he consumed more resources.
Chengzhi Bai was speechless, feeling very frustrated.
Back when he constructed his Beast Taming Space, the old man wasn't this generous.
When it came to his son, the old man simply didn't treat resources as resources, letting Zane spend freely.
There was truly no justice.
But since the old man had spoken, he couldn't say more.
And so, this matter came to an end.
"Zane, you've successfully constructed your Beast Taming Space. Is it time to contract a spirit beast?"
Elder Bai looked at Zane, asking about the important matter.
There were three stages to becoming a Beast Tamer: awakening a talent, constructing a space, and contracting the first pet beast.
The first two were completed; only the last one remained.
"Grandfather, do you have any suggestions for Water-type spirit beasts?"
Zane thought for a moment, then looked at Elder Bai again.
To be honest, the attribute of his first pet beast would definitely be Water-type.
This went without saying.
The reason was simple.
Because the Bai family was a Water-type pet beast family.
They had unique secret cultivation techniques, stable sources of Water-type pet beasts, and growth resources required by Water-type spirit beasts.
For this reason, the first pet beast of Bai family disciples was basically always a Water-type spirit beast.
Relying solely on family resources, Bai family disciples could gain considerable strength in a short time, enough to establish themselves among Beast Tamers.
Like Zane's father and grandfather, their first pet beasts were all Water-type spirit beasts.
Of course, this didn't mean that all subsequent pet beasts had to be Water-type.
The Bai family didn't require exclusivity to the Water type, except that the first pet beast had to be Water-type.
Subsequent pet beasts depended on individual needs and preferences.
Of course, for Zane, the family's constraints weren't actually that strict.
After all, his grandfather Elder Bai loved him so much.
Even if he chose a spirit beast of another attribute, Elder Bai wouldn't say much.
However, Zane possessed the [Eye of Apocalypse] and could see through all things in the world.
The Bai family's unique secret cultivation techniques might not be particularly useful to him.
But Zane could obtain the Bai family's Water-type resources.
Pet beast growth required the Beast Tamer's ability and various beast taming materials; neither could be missing.
Even though Zane had the "omniscient" [Eye of Apocalypse], he still needed resources.
Therefore, choosing a Water-type pet beast as his first was the best choice.
"Grandfather's Red-Eyed Golden-Patterned Fish spawned some time ago. If you like, you can directly contract one of its offspring."
Elder Bai smiled, speaking slowly.
As soon as these words came out, Zane's eyes lit up.
The Red-Eyed Golden-Patterned Fish was Elder Bai's trump card, a Diamond-rank pet beast with astonishing strength.
The offspring of the Red-Eyed Golden-Patterned Fish would definitely have extraordinary potential, perhaps even growing to Diamond rank.
This was a very good choice.
"Grandfather, let me understand the situation first and look at various Water-type spirit beasts before deciding."
Zane pondered slightly, speaking slowly.
Although Elder Bai's suggestion was good, Zane didn't make a decision immediately.
Because he had another idea.
It should be known that his Beast Taming Talent [Eye of Apocalypse] was very special, allowing him to see through everything within a certain range.
Therefore, he wanted to personally examine the situation of various Water-type spirit beasts; perhaps he would have unexpected gains.
"Since you have an idea, go take a look."
Elder Bai nodded, not refusing this request.
Because there was also the concept of compatibility between Beast Tamers and pet beasts.
Possessing a pet beast with high compatibility could yield twice the result with half the effort.
With this thought, Elder Bai took Zane directly to the spirit beast egg storage vault.
As the heavy door of the vault opened, glass containers appeared before Zane one by one.
Inside these glass containers were spirit beast eggs, silently growing under the nourishment of nutrient solutions.
This was the Bai family's spirit beast egg storage vault.
The Bai family had considerable strength. Besides Elder Bai's immediate family, there were also many retainers.
Like Bai Zhi and Bai Shao, who followed Zane and were responsible for protecting him.
The Bai family not only raised them but even prepared spirit beast eggs and beast taming resources for them, which led to their current achievements.
It could be said that the Bai family's spirit beast vault, besides serving the Bai family, was also responsible for the pet beast contracts of retainers.
Zane walked straight in, looking at them one by one.
