After walking out of the Awakening Hall, Lin Bai could use his identity jade pendant to go to the side hall to receive the basic cultivation technique.

“Hey, did you guys see that white light just now? I wonder what happened in the Awakening Hall.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Someone must have awakened their spiritual power. I’ve been here for more than ten years, but I’ve never seen a white light. It’s really rare.”

“Then would this white light represent the strong or the weak.”

When Lin Bai walked over, the group of people were talking fervently. They casually threw basic cultivation techniques over, completely unaware that the main character they were talking about brushed past them.

At the foot of the mountain, a middle-aged couple stood there, looking at the buildings halfway up the mountain. Even if they couldn’t see anything, they were Lin Bai’s parents in this world, Lin Ruhai and Su Yun.

Both of them looked very ordinary and didn’t have much ability. They couldn’t cultivate martial arts, nor did they have the ability to awaken it. The burden of life was on their shoulders, and overwork made them wrinkle.

The couple had high hopes for Lin Bai. Even though they had failed a few times before, they had never given up.

Su Yun paced back and forth anxiously. Lin Ruhai, who was next to her, half-squatted on the ground and said helplessly, “Can you sit down and rest for a while? You’re making me dizzy.”

It would have been fine if he hadn’t said anything, but as soon as he spoke, Su Yun was instantly infuriated. “I say, why aren’t you worried? I wonder how Lin Bai is doing. Will he succeed this time...”

While Su Yun was rambling on, Lin Ruhai saw a blurry figure walking over. He hurriedly stood up and said, “I see Lin Bai.”

Not long after he said that, the figure not far away became clearer. It was Lin Bai, who had come down from the mountain. When he saw the figures of his parents, he was also a little surprised.

“Why are you here?”

The couple looked at Lin Bai’s expression and saw that his expression was calm. They did not know whether he had succeeded or failed. Their hearts instantly hung in their throats.

Lin Ruhai cleared his throat and carefully asked, “Lin Bai, did you succeed in awakening your spiritual power this time?”

“I succeeded.”

Hearing this answer, the huge rock in the couple’s heart finally fell to the ground. They were instantly overjoyed. Su Yun even handed the card in her pocket to him.

“There are 150,000 crystal coins in this card. Hurry up and buy a pet egg.”

As Lin Ruhai and Su Yun were ordinary people, even if they emptied their savings, they could only squeeze out this little bit from the gaps between their teeth. It was enough to show that raising a pet was an extremely expensive thing.

After all, in order to improve the pet’s cultivation and skills in the future, they had to throw more money into it.

The pet’s aptitude went from one star to nine stars. The higher the stars, the better the aptitude. Whether it was a martial artist or a beast master, they were divided into Houtian, Xiantian, Grandmaster, Great Grandmaster, and so on. Each large level was divided into one to nine small levels.

With this little money, they could only buy a two-star pet, the most common type. Even so, this was the couple’s entire savings.

Lin Ruhai urged, “What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go. If you run out of money, we can earn more. Don’t worry about your mother and me. We have hands and feet, we won’t starve to death.”

Lin Bai held the card and felt a warmth in his heart.

There was a place in the town that specialized in trading pet beasts. It was located on the west side of the city. It was bustling with activity as far as the eye could see. There were shops on both sides of the street. There were even hawkers hawking their pets along the street.

However, the hawkers were too mobile, so there were good and bad pet beasts that they sold. It was very likely that even though a pet was a high star pet beast, it had an unknown hidden disease or defect. Therefore, it was sold cheaply.

By the time the buyers realized it, the peddlers would have already fled to another place and resurface after the heat. There was simply no way to reason with them. Therefore, there was a gambling element to buying at the stall. The only advantage was that it was cheap.

If one was lucky, they might run into a high star cheap pet, but it was very rare. Most wealthy families would choose to go to the store to buy them.

Lin Bai went straight to the biggest pet beast shop here. There were all kinds of pets here, and the price was relatively fair.

The price was clearly marked on the counter.

[ God-cracking condor, one-star aptitude, 100,000]

[ Kunwu blood auspicious colt, one-star aptitude, 110,000]

[ Silver thread anaconda, two-star aptitude, 160,000]

[ frost cicada sparrow, two-star aptitude, 170,000]

...

Even though he was mentally prepared, Lin Bai could not help but click his tongue when he saw the price. After all, with this little money, he could only buy a two-star aptitude, and it was the kind with average combat strength.

A 1-star or 2-star pet was already like this, not to mention a 3-star or 4-star pet. To him, this was simply an astronomical figure. If he didn’t have a mountain of gold and silver at home, he really couldn’t afford it.

Ordinary people could only watch from the side.

As for 5-star pet beasts, there weren’t many of them. There weren’t any here either. It was possible that in larger cities, as long as they appeared, there would be people fighting over them.

After all, a mature 5-star pet beast’s battle prowess was comparable to a human grandmaster. It could guard a region of land and provide security.

There were even fewer 6-star and 7-star pet beasts. Currently, only martial grandmasters possessed them, and it was difficult for ordinary people to even catch a glimpse of them. As for 8-star and 9-star pet beasts, they were almost all legendary divine beasts, and no one had ever seen them before.

Lin Bai walked around. He felt that it was a pity that he did not have enough money to buy a suitable one. Since he had the system with him, it was not impossible for him to make do with it.

“Do you have any cheaper ones here?”

The shop assistants here were well-trained, and they did not reveal any other expressions when they heard this. “Please wait a moment.”

[ ding — ]

At this moment, the system in Lin Bai’s mind made a move.

[ pet beast with the bloodline of the Azure Dragon detected. ]

Lin Bai’s expression changed slightly. The Azure Dragon was one of the ancient ferocious beasts, and its bloodline is extremely noble. He did not expect that this town would actually have its bloodline.

“I don’t want it anymore.”

After saying this, he left without hesitation. Looking at his hurried back, the shop assistant was a little confused.

Lin Bai walked out of the shop and followed the system’s directions to the southeast corner.

On a shabby black cloth, there were a few pet eggs scattered around. The vendor was dozing off in the corner, wearing a straw hat. It was hard to see his face clearly.

Hearing the footsteps, he knew that a customer had come. He immediately raised his head and revealed a warm smile.

“It is fate that we met. To tell you the truth, the things I have here are very good. I have everything here, such as Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Phoenix and Black Tortoise. I guarantee that you will be able to contract a divine pet from now on and walk on the path to the peak of your life!”

He looked at the grey eggs and then at the enthusiastic and cunning peddlers. He was not afraid of bragging.

The corner of Lin Bai’s mouth could not help but twitch.

Just this? The Azure Dragon bloodline?
