Free Web NovelChapter 578: Chapter 234: Celestial Ice Palm and Celestial Flame Palm Mastered, Beast Taming Pavilion 2
Tai Zhong brought Yi Tian to the southern grasslands, pointed at a patch of empty ground, and spoke.
Hidden on this open ground were quite a few array stones and array flags.
Tai Zhong was dressed in cloth robes, his hair tied up like Xin Qiji and Huo Qubing, with a short beard under his chin, giving him a bit of a master array expert’s vibe.
"Alright, activate the array! I’m about to trade for the Lushan Bao Ma," Yi Tian nodded to Tai Zhong.
"Yes, Lord!"
After receiving the order, Tai Zhong pressed a beast core into an array stone at the center of the formation.
"Fog Shadow Array, activate!"
This was a pure trapping array; once inside, no matter how you walked forward, you’d always return to the starting point.
"President Pilong, you can send the Lushan Bao Ma over for the trade!"
Yi Tian called out to Pilong.
"[Lushan Bao Ma*1000] traded for [Gold*95,000,000]." Pilong sent the trade.
Yi Tian accepted!
"Hiss hiss!" "Chirp!" "Neigh!"
Waves of long cries echoed by Yi Tian’s ears.
But before Yi Tian’s eyes, thin mists appeared, blurring his vision.
"Lord, I’ll take you back out for now."
With that, Tai Zhong and Yi Tian appeared outside the Fog Concealment Array.
The wide area ahead was all a white blur—it was easy to enter, but hard to leave.
"Mr. Tai Zhong, let out one Lushan Bao Ma."
Yi Tian wanted to see what this Lushan Bao Ma looked like.
"Yes, Lord!"
Tai Zhong waved his hand, and one Lushan Bao Ma was brought out.
"Lushan Bao Ma, Grade: Top-class Bao Ma. Stage: Growth Stage. Status: Withered Beast Plague. Strength 869 (1023), Constitution 888 (1045), Agility 904 (1064). Special Talent: Fine Steed. When running, three-dimensional stats boosted by 50%. Special Talent: Sprint. When sprinting, strength and speed rise 50%."
This horse was mostly black-haired, glossy and shiny, with only its forehead and four hooves covered in white fur.
This was a Lushan Bao Ma in its growth stage, already as tall as an adult Earth horse—one and a half meters at the withers.
Its back was short, waist straight and level, and its four limbs sturdy—a sign that the Lushan Bao Ma excelled at running.
"Neigh!"
After it came out, the Lushan Bao Ma raised its head and neighed, not caring which direction, breaking into a run.
Yi Tian was only a few meters away; how could he let it do as it pleased? He leaped up and landed right atop the Lushan Bao Ma.
"Hiss hiss!"
The Lushan Bao Ma didn’t have much in the way of attack, but it was wild. After Yi Tian landed, it kicked and bucked madly.
Trying to throw Yi Tian off.
Yi Tian executed the Thousand-Pound Drop, making it instantly kneel on its front legs.
He did not use Beast Taming.
Because if he tamed the Lushan Bao Ma with the Beast Taming Pavilion, both its potential and power would increase—this was especially key.
Sending the Lushan Bao Ma back into the Fog Shadow Array, Yi Tian left for now.
Because Ta Fang was contacting him.
Tomorrow morning, the Beast Taming Pavilion would be finished. The Lushan Bao Ma would have to put up with things for a night.
"Bro, let me report on the cotton and fur first."
"In the last three days, we purchased sixty million units of cotton, worth one million units of gold, plus a 1.1 million commission."
"Thirty million bolts of cotton cloth, worth one million gold, plus a 1.1 million commission."
"Three million ordinary furs, worth five hundred thousand gold, plus a 550,000 commission."
"Six hundred thousand units of down, worth one million gold, plus a 1.1 million commission."
"By the way, those weapons, assault boats, and other items you consigned the Longlong Tribe to sell have all been sold. Of those, over 50,000 B-level weapons brought in sixty million gold; more than 1,800 A-level weapons fetched eighteen million gold; five thousand bronze assault boats netted two million gold; over fifty thousand High-Level Siege Ropes went for eight million gold; and one thousand sets of armor sold for five million gold."
"That’s a total of ninety-three million gold. After commission, you get eighty-four million gold."
"Subtracting the 3.85 million gold you spent on cotton leaves you eighty million one hundred fifty thousand gold. The Blue Mountain Commerce Association is loaded—all the trades were done in gold. Do you want gold, or something else?"
Ta Fang explained all this meticulously. As long as Yi Tian had a general sense of market prices, he could tell Ta Fang was aboveboard.
"Gold, of course! Oh right, Brother Ta Fang, does your territory have winter clothes? However many you have, I’ll buy!"
Yi Tian said to Ta Fang. A huge outflow of gold meant he desperately needed to fill the warehouse and pile up more resources.
"Winter clothes, huh! Winter in the Ten Kingdoms Region is harsh—even C-level and below need them to survive. The cold is coming, and we only prepared enough for ourselves. If you really need them, give me 150,000 gold, and I’ll set aside 300,000 winter clothes for you—how about it?"
It takes at least ten units of cotton to make a single winter coat, plus some cloth. Ta Fang’s price was very fair.
"Deal!" Yi Tian agreed without hesitation.
"But I can only get them to you the day after tomorrow," Ta Fang added.
"No problem, just send them on the 30th! We’ll do one last fur trading then," Yi Tian replied leisurely.
Ta Fang then traded over eighty million gold to Yi Tian, and Yi Tian returned the Longlong Tribe’s pawned beast cores and Queen Longlong’s weapons and spiritual treasures.
Gold reserves rose to 160 million.
Other than Celestial Dao Coin, resources: 2,858 stars.
After chatting with Ta Fang for a while, Yi Tian returned to the villa—he needed to supervise the Little Kiddos practicing Innate Meditation Skill.
On beds of jade and white stone, the Little Kiddos lined up in two rows.
Yi Tian guided them into their meditative states.
Divine-level potential, peerless aptitude. The Little Kiddos mastered the Meditation Skill in just an hour.
Then, Yi Tian had Liyue and Qixin also practice the Innate Meditation Skill, and asked them to keep an eye on the Little Kiddos in the house.
Yi Tian knew that once he left, the Little Kiddos would probably just drift off to sleep.
