All My Beasts are Legendary Chapter 5: Four-star Platinum-Level Dragon Blood Peacock

“Just as I expected!”

Ye Xuan’s eyes lit up when he saw Lil Wan’s attributes appear on the attribute panel.

Earlier, Ye Xuan had informed Lil Wan that Beast Tamers possessed the ability to help beasts improve their star ratings, and indeed, he was correct.

However, the process of a beast advancing its star rating typically spanned a considerable duration.

Only a select few Beast Tamers, whose special talents had been awakened, could rapidly elevate the star rating of a particular type of beast.

But for Ye Xuan, provided the beast was under his ownership and he possessed sufficient materials, he could directly edit and enhance its star rating.

Whether employing Ye Xuan’s Beast Editor or utilizing the innate talents of other Beast Tamers, the enhancements were exclusive to their own beasts.

A contracted beast could not be transferred to another.

“Ancient Wood Elf!”

Ye Xuan surveyed the available evolution paths for the elves, ultimately focusing his attention on the Ancient Wood Elf’s evolutionary trajectory.

This particular evolutionary path demanded fewer materials in its initial stages, and the resources Ye Xuan currently held should suffice.

Nevertheless, the later phases of this evolutionary path would necessitate a significantly greater quantity of resources.

“After forming a contract with Lil Wan and integrating her as my beast, her Mind Energy saw an increase, yet she remains not particularly formidable.”

When a beast attained a higher level of power, its owner would correspondingly grow stronger. Conversely, if the master's strength surpassed that of the beast, the beast would also experience accelerated growth.

This phenomenon was particularly pronounced during the initial period following the establishment of their contract.

Ye Xuan fixed his gaze upon Lil Wan and used his mind to sense her attributes.

He ascertained that Lil Wan’s combat effectiveness at that precise moment was still at zero.

“When I utilize the Beast Editor to modify her into a three-star Ancient Wood Elf, the circumstances will undoubtedly change.”

A three-star Ancient Wood Elf, even at the Apprentice Level, would possess a quantifiable level of combat effectiveness.

“It appears that selling the Energy Pills Ye Han bestowed upon me is my sole viable option.”

Ye Xuan took a deliberate, deep breath.

To edit Lil Wan, even if solely to evolve her into an Ancient Wood Elf, would incur substantial costs.

The Thousand-year Core of the Ancient Wood, the Dark Iron-Grade Vine Seed, and the Dark Iron-Grade Tear of Life; these three critical components seemed unlikely to be inexpensive.

At this juncture, his only recourse was to liquidate the Energy Pills that Ye Han had generously provided.

However, as long as Lil Wan’s star rating could be elevated, every expenditure would be deemed worthwhile.

After all, the fundamental principle of the Beast Taming path centered on diligently cultivating one’s own Spirit Ocean.

This cultivation would enable the conjuring of higher-level Seed of Beasts.

Yet, within this world, methods for cultivating the Spirit Ocean were remarkably scarce.

The only available avenues for an individual to strengthen their Spirit Ocean involved drawing power from their beasts via a process of reverse nurturing, or alternatively, enhancing their own physical prowess as a Warrior to indirectly bolster the Spirit Ocean.

This implied that…

With Lil Wan’s improved star rating, her elevated grade and accelerated cultivation rate would translate into more substantial benefits derived from reverse nurturing.

“Allow me to investigate the cost of the materials required to upgrade Lil Wan.”

Ye Xuan retrieved his mobile phone, navigated to the online shopping mall, and commenced his search.

This era was characterized as the age of Warriors and the age of Beast Tamers.

Nevertheless, technology continued to thrive.

Indeed, compared to several centuries prior, the world had experienced advancements and prosperity in various aspects.

Following a swift search, Ye Xuan observed that a considerable number of vendors within the online shopping mall offered the requisite three items.

“Eh?”

Upon perusing the prices of the three essential treasures, Ye Xuan emitted a soft sound of surprise.

The reason for his astonishment was not the exorbitant cost of the three treasures.

Rather, it was the unexpectedly affordable pricing of these very same treasures.

Specifically, a single drop of the Dark Iron-Grade Tear of Life was predominantly priced at 30,000 dollars across numerous establishments.

In addition, the Thousand-year Core of the Ancient Wood and the Dark Iron-Grade Vine Seed were even more reasonably priced.

The Thousand-year Core of the Ancient Wood commanded a price of approximately 3,000 dollars.

As for the Dark Iron-Grade Vine Seed, even those of superior quality were available for prices ranging from 20,000 to 30,000 dollars.

Consequently, it was likely that he would only need to sell two to three Energy Pills to amass sufficient funds for Lil Wan’s upgrade.

Should he choose to sell all the Energy Pills, he might even have the capacity to elevate Lil Wan to a higher tier or procure a capable Apprentice-Level beast.

“Let’s be off.”

With these thoughts materializing, Ye Xuan placed the Energy Pills into his pocket and proceeded directly to the mall accompanied by Lil Wan.

“Hello, may I be of assistance?”

Within the Blue Sky Consignment Mall, situated in Yunhai City, a young woman attired in professional clothing addressed Ye Xuan with a welcoming smile.

Ye Xuan was clad in a white, casual sportswear ensemble. Coupled with his handsome facial features, he typically commanded attention, transforming into an attractive sight wherever he went.

It was undeniable that any task he needed to accomplish would be significantly more manageable if the individual he was interacting with was of the opposite sex.

“I intend to consign several Energy Pills at your establishment. Could you please inform me of the necessary procedures?” Ye Xuan inquired.

Different periods are characterized by distinct societal norms and aesthetics.

In this current era, consignment malls were a ubiquitous feature in every city.

Warriors would venture outside the city walls to hunt monsters, gathering a variety of rare materials. Should these spoils prove unusable to them, the most common course of action was to liquidate them at consignment shops.

“Energy Pills?”

The young woman attending to him, adorned in a professional uniform, responded, “They merely require appraisal by our mall’s designated expert.

Furthermore, Energy Pills are exceedingly rare in the current market. If you are in need of a swift sale and are agreeable to a competitive price, you could see them gone within mere minutes.

Our establishment can facilitate an immediate fund transfer to your account, circumventing the usual buyer-to-seller payment timeline after item receipt.”

“I am aware of that, which is precisely why I selected Blue Sky for my consignment needs.”

With that, Ye Xuan retrieved the Energy Pills he planned to sell.

The act of nurturing beasts was an endeavor not without considerable expense.

Consequently, after a brief period of contemplation, he decided to present all his remaining Energy Pills for sale.

The vocation of a Beast Tamer held a distinct advantage over that of a Warrior.

Given his possession of a Mythic-Level Beast Taming aptitude, it was only natural that his primary focus would be on diligently advancing his skills in the art of beast taming.

As for the Warrior's path, his intention was merely to engage in casual training, maintaining a basic level of proficiency.

This was to ensure he would not be entirely defenseless should an adversary attempt to engage him in close-quarters combat.

For a Beast Tamer, engaging directly in a physical altercation would fundamentally undermine the very essence of their chosen path, rendering the master’s personal involvement in the fray counterproductive.

“A total of 260,000 dollars.”

Having departed from the Blue Sky Consignment Mall and returned to his residence, Ye Xuan discovered that all nine Energy Pills he had entrusted to the establishment had been successfully sold.

After deducting the required handling fee payable to Blue Sky Consignment Mall, the collective sale of the nine Energy Pills amounted to 260,000 dollars.

This represented a net financial deficit of nearly 10,000 dollars.

However, his immediate financial situation necessitated such a measure. Had he opted to sell them at the standard market rate of 30,000 dollars per pill, predicting the timeframe for a complete sale would have been uncertain.

Therefore, he did not express concern over the incurred financial loss.

Considering his inherent talent, the passage of time itself was a valuable commodity equivalent to money.

Once his strength grew, a mere 10,000 dollars would undoubtedly become a trivial sum in his eyes.

“Time for some retail therapy!”

Upon receiving the funds, Ye Xuan promptly accessed the online storefront via his mobile device.

He navigated to the section displaying vendors within his immediate geographic vicinity and proceeded to place his desired orders.

Retailers located within the same city typically processed orders with considerable speed.

In most cases, after an order was confirmed, the goods would be delivered within a span of a few hours.

“I am currently capable of forming contracts with two beasts. Should I consider acquiring another one?”

After completing his initial purchases, Ye Xuan felt a growing inclination to add another beast to his retinue, prompting him to reopen his phone and research potential candidates that would best complement his current capabilities.

Even in her transformed state as an Ancient Wood Elf, Lil Wan, despite possessing a degree of combat effectiveness, would primarily serve in a supportive role.

If he wished to avoid direct engagement on the front lines, his most prudent course of action would be to secure a beast adept at close-quarters combat with which to form a contract.

However, as Ye Xuan opened a separate browser window on his phone to access the online marketplace, an urgent notification suddenly materialized on his screen.

[News Flash: Yesterday, Feng Xiangming, the distinguished president of the Zhongzhou University Student Union, successfully forged a contract with a Platinum-Level Beast, the illustrious Dragon Blood Peacock!

The Dragon Blood Peacock boasts a formidable four-star rating and possesses the potential to ascend to the Challenger Level in the future!

Universities in this region adhere to a six-year academic program. Feng Xiangming, currently in his fourth year at Zhongzhou University, will remain an active participant in the Hundred Academy League for the next two years. This strategic presence will undoubtedly elevate Zhongzhou University to a position of formidable power!]

“A Platinum-Level Dragon Blood Peacock? And with a four-star grade?”

Upon encountering this headline, Ye Xuan was momentarily taken aback.

The inherent ratings of beasts were not immutable characteristics.

With each significant advancement in their evolutionary Tiers, their rating would consequently decrease by one star.

For instance, upon progressing from Platinum to Diamond, a four-star Dragon Blood Peacock would be reclassified as a three-star entity.

Further progression from Diamond to the Master Tiers would result in a downgrade to a two-star rating.

And the ultimate ascent from Master to the Challenger Tiers would signify the complete exhaustion of its potential, reducing its rating to a solitary star.

Nevertheless, even with these considerations, the inherent potential of this particular Dragon Blood Peacock was already staggeringly impressive.

This was because, as of the current moment on the planet known as Cerulean, the most powerful beast known to exist had attained the Challenger Level.
