Chapter 275 - 127: Continent’s Dual Treasures
Unbeknownst to them, the sky outside had already darkened, and Yue Jinghua had been chatting with the people from Yunhu Commerce in the small cottage of the Outer Court for a full eight hours.
Teng Wu described the whole sequence of events in detail, which was much clearer than the description given by the Compass in the prison. Yue Jinghua roughly had an outline of the whole incident in her mind.
The reason Yunhu Commerce purchased this batch of Dark Eggs was for the use of the Dark Beast Cavalry of the Dragon War Empire. Unlike the Shang Kingdom, where Dark Beasts are very rare, they are virtually everywhere in the Dragon War Empire.
The numerous Dark Beasts are not only related to the valiant and war-like nature of the people of the Dragon War Empire, but also because there is an unbroken range of Xuan Beast Ridges extending for thousands of miles on the periphery of the Empire. The last disappearance of the Dark Beast Eggs occurred within this mountain range.
Because of the aforementioned reasons, almost every household in Wo Hua Imperial City raises Dark Beasts, from Dark Beasts as mounts to Guardian Pets, as common as cats and dogs are in modern times.
"I see that Miss Shalman is also a Cultivator, why don’t we work together to help explain the differences between ordinary house-raised Dark Beasts, mounts, and even Guardian Pets," Teng Wu had encountered Dark Beasts several times at Yunhu Commerce, so he had some research on breeding Dark Beasts. Seeing that Shalman’s Five Elements Colored Spider was quite unique, he also had the intention to test her.
Shalman also rarely had the chance to meet someone other than Vice-President Xue Diaoshang who understood breeding, so she was naturally very willing to discuss this topic with Teng Wu.
"May I ask Miss Shalman, what is a house-raised Dark Beast?" Knowing that Yue Jinghua and his own young lady were not very knowledgeable in this area, Teng Wu simply started from the most basic knowledge of Dark Beasts.
Shalman answered excitedly like a student preparing for an exam, "House-raised Dark Beasts generally refer to those that are directly hatched and then sold. They are trained into ordinary house beasts during their juvenile period. These Dark Beasts are mostly common low-level ones like cats, dogs, rabbits, etc. They have low attack power and a docile nature. House-raised Dark Beasts are sold in ordinary Xuan Beast Stores, they are not wary of strangers, their loyalty is not high, and they can be easily tamed by others."
"Then, what’s the difference between Guardian Pets and mounts compared to normal house-raised Dark Beasts?" Teng Wu was quite satisfied with Shalman’s answer.
