Chapter 148: Want to Make Extra Money

Lou Mu Yan’s words dealt a heavy blow to the favoured children of Heaven, but they didn’t have any jealousy.

“Mu Yan, then does that mean you’re also a Spirit Beast Master?” Ye Qing Han smiled, but there was some complexity floating at the bottom of his eyes.

His final advantage in front of Lou Mu Yan also changed—but he’d try to keep up with her steps.

Lou Mu Yan nodded with a smile: “I guess I am.” It was just that her contract skill was different from those of this Continent.

“Elder Sister Mu Yan, you’re really so amazing.” Ye Qing Le couldn’t help but give Lou Mu Yan a thumbs up and the worship in her eyes grew even stronger.

“The skill of taming beasts was also taught to me by my Master.”

Either way, whenever something was out of the ordinary, Lou Mu Yan now pushed it all onto that fabricated Master.

Wen Liang looked at Lou Mu Yan thoughtfully, then said with a hint of curiosity: “Who might your Master be, little girl?”

“Master had never told me his name, but he called himself Old Man Tian Xuan1.” Lou Mu Yan replied with a calm smile.

This name wasn’t actually made up randomly. When she entered the Sect in her previous life, her Respected Master was indeed Old Man Tian Xuan. But she didn’t know if there was such a character on Tian’ling Continent—though there shouldn’t be such a coincidence.

Wen Liang’s pupils constricted slightly when he heard ‘Old Man Tian Xuan’, but quickly restrained himself and others didn’t catch his expression.

“Great Master Wen, do you accept Contract Demonic Beasts here?” Lou Mu Yan saw Wen Liang not talking, so she guessed that he had never heard the name she spoke of, and she didn’t want to continue the topic of her Master either.

Wen Liang was dazed for a moment, then immediately returned to his senses and smiled like a breeze, saying: “Of course we accept. If Young Miss can catch a Tier 5 Demonic Beast and imprint a Contract Seal, then we will buy it for five million eight hundred thousand purple-gold coins from you.”

The Tier 5 Contract Demonic Beasts sold in the Ye Clan’s Spirit Pet Shop weren’t open to just any Sword Master. Only those with certain backgrounds or conditions were eligible to buy them. The selling price was at six million purple-gold coins, and the supply didn’t meet the demands.

If Lou Mu Yan could imprint a Contract Seal then sell it to the store, then they could still earn two hundred thousand purple-gold coins without much effort, which was also pretty good. After all, the most difficult thing with Tier 5 Demonic Beasts was imprinting a Contract Seal.

Once the Contract Seal was successfully imprinted into the Demonic Beast’s yao’fu, as long as a Sword Master dropped some blood essence between its brows, do a simple contract skill to complete the process themselves, then it’d be done.

“Then that’s settled.” Lou Mu Yan felt that the other party’s conditions were quite good. If she went to sell it in other places, then they’d definitely cheat her of millions of purple-gold coins. She wouldn’t have the time and energy to take them to the auction either—this was good.

Watching Lou Mu Yan talk about cooperating and transactions so lightly with Great Master Wen, those beside were completely defeated by her.

She didn’t look like she was joking at all with such behaviour. If she didn’t have the confidence, then she’d never take such a job.

“Younger Cousin Sister, then I won’t need that Contract Demonic Beast?” Yun Lan asked Lou Mu Yan’s opinion, holding the jade slip in his hand.

Lou Mu Yan took the jade slip from his hand and swept it with her Mental Energy, then said with a little disgust: “Don’t need it. What are you going to do with this type of Initial-Phase Tier 5 Demonic Beast. Even if you want to contract, then we’ll want one at Advanced-Phase Tier 5 or Peak-Phase strength.”

“…”

Lou Mu Yan could you stop dealing blows to people?

Wen Liang’s eyes were deep, and a smile appeared on his lips, “Little girl, if you can catch Tier 5 Demonic Beasts at Middle-Phase, Advanced-Phase or Peak-Phase, imprint a Contract Seal, then bring it here, the price will be even higher.”

“How much higher?” Lou Mu Yan’s face revealed a bit of interest.

“For every Phase higher, one million will be added. If the Demonic Beast is at Peak-Phase Tier 5, then it’s directly nine million purple-gold coins.” The expression on Wen Liang’s face didn’t change much.

Lou Mu Yan thought for a bit, then said: “Good.”

Then she asked Great Master Wen and Ye Qing Han: “Are there any high-level Demonic Beasts nearby?”

It would take about a month for Ye Qing Le’s poison to be cured. Based on her previous cultivation base, she would have needed to apply needles once every day, but after advancing leaps and bounds, and also having the green sea of fog in her dan’tian, she only needed to apply needles once every three to five days. The rest of her time could be used to catch Demonic Beasts and sell them to earn some extra money.

“There’s none nearby, but there’s high-level Demonic Beasts in the Sunset Cloud Mountain Range three days away from Luo’xi City on a Tailwind Horse.” Wen Liang said.

“Sunset Cloud Mountain Range? Is it very close to Feng Hill City?” She had seen the introduction of Sunset Cloud Mountain Range on the map of Tian’ling Continent. There were three places in that mountain range that were also listed as danger areas, but as long as they didn’t cross over it, then there wouldn’t be any danger.

“Sunset Cloud Mountain Range is the only path between Luo’xi City and Feng Hill City. Except for the three major dangerous border areas, most of the training for the pupils of the Ten Distinguished Clans are in the Sunset Cloud Mountain Range. There’s also a road connecting the two cities.” Ye Qing Han answered.

Lou Mu Yan’s eyes lit up. Feng Hill City was the city where her maternal grandfather’s Ling Clan was located. She was originally planning to treat Ye Qing Le then go take a look at her elder cousin brother Ling Fei Yang’s illness, but time might be a bit tight.

But now it seemed that she could drop by the Ling Clan to bring Elder Cousin Brother to the Ye Clan and receive treatment together with Ye Qing Le. By then, she’d save time and effort, and on the way, she could investigate any news about the Sunset Cloud Mountain Range.

“Those Tier 5 Demonic Beasts should all roam around the Three Major Danger Areas right?” Lou Mu Yan asked after pondering.

With the fact that the young pupils of the Ten Distinguished Clans dared to complete their training in Sunset Cloud Mountain Range, aside from the Three Major Danger Areas, there probably wouldn’t be any Tier 5 Demonic Beasts roaming elsewhere.

“Indeed, but you can encounter Tier 5 Demonic Beasts on the borders of the Three Major Danger Areas. If you want to go, never ever go deep.” Wen Liang paused, then continued: “I’ve heard that the innermost part of the Three Major Danger Areas even has a Tier 9 Beast King and numerous high-level Demonic Beasts everywhere. Without the strength of a Sword Sovereign or higher, you can’t go deep.”

“I’m only going to catch some Tier 5 Demonic Beasts, I won’t go deep.

“By the way does Great Master Wen know where there’s a map of Sunset Cloud Mountain Range for sale?” Lou Mu Yan asked.

Wen Liang replied: “The map of Sunset Cloud Mountain Range is sold in many places, but there are none of the Three Major Danger Areas. If you want to go, you’ll have to explore it yourself.”

“Alright. I’ve troubled Great Master Wen today.” Lou Mu Yan wasn’t disappointed either. It was better to have a map, but it didn’t matter if she didn’t. She was more eager to explore the unknown.

With a gentle smile between Wen Liang’s brows, he waved his hand: “You’re welcome. Then this one Wen will be here to await good news from you, little girl.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely do this business.”

Because the news that Lou Mu Yan was a Spirit Beast Master was too shocking, the others also lost interest to continue to browse, so they went back to the Ye Clan after casually strolling around Luo’xi City.

After resting for the night, Lou Mu Yan prepared to start treating Ye Qing Le the next day.

Hearing the news, Shi Feng and the others immediately went to Ye Qing Le’s courtyard and waited to watch her treatment. Even Ye Chen and Ye Zhan arrived one after the other.

Ye Qing Le was the family’s most treasured daughter. She had excellent talents and had a natural affinity for Demonic Beasts. As long as she was cured of the poison and her cultivation base kept up, it was very possible to raise her to become a Tier 5 Spirit Beast Master or even higher. Therefore, she was very much valued by the Clan.

This time, with Lou Mu Yan curing Ye Qing Le, the Ye Clan opened their warehouse to provide all the resources for her to use.

1random fact, ‘tian xuan’ (天璇) is actually Ursae Majoris in the Big Dipper asterism which is in the constellation Ursa Major (aka The Great Bear). Doesn’t really matter for the story, I’m pretty sure, and probably just gives the Master a mysterious feel.
