Celestial Beast Taming

Chapter 316: Chapter 191: Rejection Crystal Bee (Bee Mother)

Zhong Yi quickly placed the Geomagnetic Bee into his Storage Pouch.

Mutated Geomagnetic Bees like this were extremely rare. Finding one was a stroke of exceptional luck.

Now that he had found the Geomagnetic Bee he was looking for, Zhong Yi didn’t linger.

He exchanged a few pleasantries with Fu Hongning and returned to his residence.

After returning to his residence, Zhong Yi heard from Zhong Chenghuai that Zhao Kai had gone to the Craftsmen Association.

Zhong Yi sent a message to Zhao Kai, asking him to help purchase some Magnetic Ore Essence with Special Level Strong Magnetism, some Repulsive-Attractive Red Crystals, and some Magnetic Tourmalines from the Craftsmen’s Guild.

A Geomagnetic Bee with a tail needle, purchased from the Zhenchong Commerce Association, would cost at least 150,000 Federation Coins. It was considered a mid-to-high-end Guardian Beast.

Depending on its quality, the price could go as high as 800,000 Federation Coins.

Ordinary Geomagnetic Bees were typically raised using the most common Magnetic Ore Crystals.

Guardian Beast Masters would grind these common crystals and sprinkle the powder over Magnetic Iron Ore to serve as daily food for their Geomagnetic Bees.

As for the Magnetic Ore Essence with Special Level Strong Magnetism that Zhong Yi required, a single pound cost as much as two or three excellent Geomagnetic Bees.

Repulsive-Attractive Red Crystal, a crystal that possessed both attractive and repulsive energies, was only found in a few unique Secret Realms of the Third Level and higher.

It served as both a material for strengthening Guardian Beasts and a Soul Foundation Material.

A single, fingernail-sized piece of Repulsive-Attractive Red Crystal could fetch a seven-figure price at auction.

When Zhong Yi had gone to the Craftsmen’s Guild with Tao En the day before, he had seen a Creator purchasing Repulsive-Attractive Red Crystal.

’The Craftsmen’s Guild must still have some in stock.’

As for Magnetic Tourmaline, an even rarer material, Zhong Yi wasn’t sure if the Craftsmen’s Guild would have any.

Magnetic Tourmaline could be considered a Sacred Artifact for any Guardian Beast that used magnetic forces for offense or defense.

Zhong Yi wanted to cultivate this mutated Geomagnetic Bee, transforming it into a Defensive Guardian Beast.

All three of these materials were indispensable!

Before long, Zhao Kai called him back.

"Young Master, I managed to acquire all three materials you needed!"

"The Craftsmen’s Guild was out of Magnetic Tourmaline, but a Five-finger Creator saw that I was looking for it. He approached me and said he had three pieces."

"I purchased all three of them. They’re Earth-Enriched Magnetic Tourmalines, and he only charged 4 million Federation Coins each—a very fair price."

Zhong Yi raised an eyebrow.

’Only 4 million Federation Coins for a Magnetic Tourmaline!’

If a rare material like Magnetic Tourmaline were advertised and sold at a major trade fair, it could easily fetch 6 million Federation Coins.

Tao En’s acceptance of Zhao Kai as his disciple had only been publicly announced the day before.

In just one day, nearly every Creator in Starlight City knew that Zhao Kai had become Master Tao En’s disciple.

This had made Zhao Kai an incredibly sought-after figure within the Craftsmen’s Guild!

Even Creators of a higher tier than Zhao Kai were eager to build a relationship with him.

Otherwise, that Five-finger Creator would have had no reason to act so generously.

"Brother Zhao, since you’ve acquired all the materials, please have an apprentice deliver them to me."

Zhao Kai quickly replied.

"I’ll arrange it right away, Young Master."

"You mentioned needing Repulsive-Attractive Red Crystal. As it happens, there’s a Repulsive-Attractive Red Crystal Ore Core for sale at the Craftsmen’s Guild."

"It’s being sold on consignment at the Craftsmen Association by a Guardian Beast Master."

"I’ve already contacted him. He doesn’t want Federation Coins; instead, he wants the service of having fifty Fifth Level Potions concocted."

"He said he would provide the necessary materials for each potion."

"Do you think we should take him up on the offer for the Ore Core?"

Zhong Yi listened and thought, ’It’s a good thing I made that trip to Longya City and brought Master Tao En into my fold.’

’Otherwise, I would never have had the chance to acquire a material like the Repulsive-Attractive Red Crystal Ore Core!’

Using the Repulsive-Attractive Red Crystal Ore Core to cultivate the mutated Geomagnetic Bee would give it a high probability of undergoing another transformation during the Soul Taming Seed Contract.

Even if it didn’t trigger another full evolution, the Skills and Exclusive Traits it would gain would be far stronger than without the Ore Core.

Tao En was now a member of Zhong Yi’s faction, so Zhong Yi had the authority to agree to such a trade.

"Brother Zhao, you can accept his terms. But I want that Repulsive-Attractive Red Crystal Ore Core now."

After hanging up, Zhong Yi couldn’t help but think to himself.

’Tao En’s value isn’t just his ability as a Five-finger Peak Creator, but also the influence that comes with the title!’

’Without Tao En, I would have had to search for a while just to find the Magnetic Tourmaline, let alone the Repulsive-Attractive Red Crystal Ore Core.’

’I can’t keep running to Star Night, Lin Zhuo, Wen Tao, and Flower Venerable for help every time I need materials.’

Soon, Zhao Kai arranged for a Craftsman Apprentice to deliver the materials to Zhong Yi.

Zhong Yi prepared to begin strengthening the mutated Geomagnetic Bee he had worked so hard to find.

Before beginning the strengthening process, Zhong Yi used All Things Exploration to inspect the mutated Geomagnetic Bee. It lacked a Tail Needle but had an extra pair of short, thick antennae on its head.
