Wilderness: I Tame Beasts to Survive

Chapter 451: Chapter 301: Material Trade

Unlike in Xia Country, where its cities forbade various types of vehicles from using the motorized lanes.

Here, however, there was no distinction between sidewalks and motorized lanes; everything relied on pedestrians being self-aware.

In the center of the road, heavy-duty Soul Beasts larger than elephants frequently pulled luxurious, wheeled carriages, trotting along slowly.

Whether they were pedestrians or street vendors hawking their wares, nearly all of them had a cute, small Soul Beast in tow—creatures like little kittens, little squirrels, and little puppies perched on their shoulders or trotting by their feet.

Some even helped their masters carry luggage, HUFFING and PUFFING as they tagged along behind.

The sheer density of Soul Beasts was something he had rarely seen in his life.

"Star Spirit Race? Or Witch Spirit Race? Looking for a companion?"

"Hey, handsome Alien Race Beast Master, want to check out our inn? Cheap lodging, and meals are free~"

Even with Han Ning and Lin Tianhe riding on the Cyan Scale Shrimp, vendors from the shops on both sides of the road continuously extended enthusiastic invitations to them.

Some beautiful vendors who were not of the Merfolk Race even exposed parts of their bodies to Han Ning, winking furiously while tossing small, printed cards at him.

The card felt a bit like a seashell. It was engraved with the image of a tavern, and beside it, a pile of unique-looking food.

On the back, a sentence was written in the Universal language. He could barely make out the first part, which mentioned a "discount on lodging."

"Don’t tell me this is a hotel discount card?" Han Ning’s expression was strange.

Lin Tianhe eyed the card in his hand. Engraved in the center were several hot, curvy Alien Race beauties, all striking seductive poses.

"This... Could this be like those little pink cards from the inns in Xia Country?" Lin Tianhe swallowed hard.

After passing through a street named Shuicao Street, a quaint stone gate engraved with giant seashells and seaweed appeared before his eyes.

At the top center of the gate, two large words were carved in both a stylized Universal tongue and the Merfolk language: "Treasure Workshop."

"Gentlemen, this is the Treasure Workshop, a large trading market officially built by the Merfolk Sea Alliance," Hailian said, pointing to the snow-white stone gate and smiling at Han Ning’s group. "You don’t need to worry about safety here. The Alliance will protect you and guarantee the security of any materials you trade for. There will be absolutely no robberies, thefts, or other such unfortunate incidents."

Walking into the Treasure Workshop, Han Ning immediately felt like he was back in one of those imitation-antique commercial streets found in tourist cities.

Many Beast Masters with the distinct features of Merfolk or Sea Deer walked along both sides of the street. Mixed in with them were a few strange Alien Race people, some with carapaces on their backs, others crawling close to the ground.

Han Ning hadn’t come all this way just to sightsee; he was here to inquire about the materials needed for Egg Pancake’s evolution.

More than half a year ago, he had tasked his two Puppets, the Abyssal Rock Ant and the Cyan God Armor, with gathering materials related to Egg Pancake’s evolution. But... because the materials involved were of too high a level, they hadn’t been able to collect a single thing. On the other hand, they had harvested quite a few Lord Level Soul Beast Crystal Stones.

Now that he was in this vast world beyond the Insect Continent, a world he hoped was as rich in resources as it was wide, he had to at least inquire about the materials.

If he had any free time, he could also take his Soul Beasts to other parts of the city to experience some of the local alien culture.

A city as large as Shuixiu City, with such a developed Soul Beast industry and what appeared to be every facility imaginable, made Han Ning increasingly confident that he might find what he was looking for.

The three of them wandered around the Treasure Workshop for about fifteen minutes before finding a five-story stone building with the most magnificent decor. Even its doors were carved with mysterious water patterns and inlaid with exquisite gems. They walked inside.

A shop like this wouldn’t be cheap, but its quality should be guaranteed.

As soon as they entered, a female clerk’s sweet and pleasant voice rang out. "Welcome to the Precious Soul Beast Materials shop. How may I help you?"

To their right, a beautiful young Merfolk woman in a pale white gauze dress approached them with an enthusiastic smile.

"Do you sell materials for Soul Beast evolution? And do you buy back Spiritual Materials?" Lin Tianhe got straight to the point.

Lin Tianhe’s Xiaoyu was also on the verge of evolution.

To gauge the shop’s resources, Han Ning had his roommate make the initial inquiry.

Come to think of it, Xiaoyu’s situation was somewhat similar to that of Han Ning’s Yin Yi back in the day.

Lin Tianhe had subsequently acquired two more Soul Beasts. One was a descendant of Da Yan, and the most recent one was a gift from Qing Fan: a relatively rare Water Type Soul Beast called the Water-Split Crocodile.

In the past half-year of Cultivation, the rare Water-Split Crocodile had successfully broken through to the Lord Level, while Xiaoyu remained stuck at the War General Level because of its limited Talent.

Through an Authentication with his panel, Han Ning had deduced its evolutionary path and made a surprising discovery: due to the unique nature of the Soul Vein Tree Demon, the entire Insect Continent had no suitable materials for it. And so... Xiaoyu’s evolution had been delayed again and again, until now.

Xiaoyu’s evolutionary path was: Silver Lotus Wood —> Spirit-Draining Tree Demon —> Soul Vein Tree Demon —> Soul-Sucking Demon Tree.

When it was a Spirit-Draining Tree Demon, it provided his classmates with fruit that replenished their Physical Strength.

Later, as its strength grew, it evolved into a Soul Vein Tree Demon with a Talent of roughly D+.

The Soul-Sucking Demon Tree was the subsequent evolutionary path Han Ning had analyzed for Xiaoyu using his panel. If the evolution was successful, its Talent was projected to increase to C+.

"Soul Beast evolution? Yes, we have materials for that. I’ll just need you to provide some basic information about your Soul Beast."
