BXBX NOVEL Chapter 155 - What Origin
Chapter 155: What Origin
Lin Bai looked around for a while and finally figured out what this place was for. It turned out that this place was for selling demonic beasts. It was similar to the nature of a street vendor. However, he didn’t know why it was so popular. He felt strange, so, he pulled the person next to him and asked.
“Fellow Daoist, I think this place is no different from the street vendors. Why is it so popular that it attracts so many people?”
That person was also a warm-hearted person. Seeing Lin Bai’s question, he sized him up and said, “You are from another city, right?”
Lin Bai nodded.
“That’s it. You don’t know that Jin Daya and his group are famous pet vendors in the capital. They are different from those street vendors.”
Hearing his tone, it seemed that Jin Daya had some background. Lin Bai was even more curious.
That person lowered his voice and said, “They are quite mysterious. I’m not sure about the specifics. I only heard that they have people everywhere. No one knows how big this organization is or who is behind it. All in all, they are quite powerful.”
“Moreover, they are often able to capture many demonic beasts cubs and sell them. I heard that many pet beast shops in the capital also have collaborations with them.”
Looking at the unattractive Jin Daya, Lin Bai didn’t expect him to have such a powerful background, “If that’s the case, why don’t they open their own shop and be self-sufficient? It seems a bit redundant to do it in this way.”
“Who knows? Maybe it’s because they’re too unstable. Jin Daya and the others appear and disappear mysteriously. Sometimes, they come once a month, and sometimes, they don’t come for months. No one knows where their headquarters is. Anyway, it’s just a matter of luck.”
“Moreover, the pet beasts in Jin Daya’s hands are different from other places. Some of them are extremely rare. I remember the last time he brought a demonic beast with the bloodline of a divine beast. The entire capital went crazy and the roads were almost blocked.”
Other than Little Treasure, the pet beasts in Lin Bai’s hands had all awakened the bloodline of a divine beast. Listening to the man’s description, he felt that this was the case. The rarer the item, the more valuable it was. It wouldn’t be valuable if it was too available.
This might sound a little annoying, but it was the truth. In the eyes of other people, as long as the beast had divine beast bloodline, it would something that could only come across as luck. This didn’t matter even if the beast only had a little bit of divine beast bloodline.
After all, divine beasts were almost extinct now. They were almost legendary creatures. To be able to possess their bloodline meant that the beast would definitely be extraordinary in the future. If they were properly nurtured, they might even be able to activate the phenomenon of atavism. The impact and transformation would be huge.
Therefore, as long as a beast was related to a divine beast, it would be an existence that everyone sought after. It was a pity that there were very few pet beasts that could activate the bloodline of a divine beast. They were almost as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
Yet, like Lin Bai had a few of them at once. If word got out, it would scare people to death. Seeing that he seemed to be a little disinterested, the man was a little surprised. Seeing that Lin Bai did not look like he was rich in his clothes, he kindly reminded him.
“The price here is quite fair. Some of the pet beasts are of unknown quality, so he will sell them at a low price. If you can buy a good pet beast at a very low price, you will be lucky. If you buy a bad one, you can only blame your bad luck.”
However, for someone as powerful as Jin Daya, they appraised most of the demon beasts before they were sold. The phenomenon that the man mentioned was not non-existent, but it was not very common.
While they were conversing, Jin Daya wasn’t idle either. He had already successfully made a few transactions. They were the five-star grade earth shattering turtle and the six-star grade golden silk flying monkey.
Although these demon beasts were relatively ordinary and couldn’t be considered particularly precious creatures, they had a higher star rating. There were quite a few people who bid, and in the end, the highest bidder won.
The others were somewhat dissatisfied. “Jin Daya, you haven’t seen us for so long. Don’t tell me you’ve only brought back so many things? It feels like you’re trying to fool us.”
Quite a number of people also joined in the jeering. “That’s right. Could it be that all the good things have been hidden by you, or that the deal has already been decided in advance?”
Jin Daya was not angry. “What nonsense are you spouting? Am I, Jin Daya, that kind of person? Of course, the good things are at the back.”
No matter what, the demon beasts in Jin Daya’s shop were much cheaper than the ones in the other shops, so there were still many people who bought them. Soon, only the cages at the top row were left.
“The demon beasts that I’m going to sell next are not the ordinary ones at the front. Everyone, open your eyes and take a good look.”
As his voice fell, the top row of red silk was opened by him. A crisp cry was heard, like the voice of a young Phoenix. Although it was a little hoarse, it was still pleasing to the ear.
Colorful feathers reflected in everyone’s eyes, as if they covered the clouds in the sky. They were filled with an indescribable magnificence, especially the tail feathers which were incomparably gorgeous.
“Ah!”
Everyone cried out in surprise. They thought it was a phoenix, but in fact, it was a bird very similar to a phoenix. It was called the five-colored embroidered bird, and this one seemed to have awakened the bloodline of the Phoenix. Its feathers were particularly bright and tended to be red. It had a gradient colour feeling.
Under the refraction of the sunlight, it gave off a different light. In short, it attracted the attention of all the female cultivators present. Even if it didn’t have high combat strength, it was beautiful enough to be used as a decoration and bring its owner face.
Not to mention that the five-colored embroidered bird could usually awaken two types of talent. If its strength was high and its luck was good, it could also awaken three or four types of talent if it was nurtured well. It was said that the most powerful beasts could awaken five types of talent.
