Lei Yiming's scolding was naturally just for show. In reality, his target was singular:

It was the beast-taming technique in the hands of Dingxing City!

By now, it had been some time since the rabbits arrived in the Damo Realm, so they were no longer completely clueless about much of the information here.

Such as cultivation, and likewise, the cultivation techniques.

The cultivation techniques in the Damo Realm are actually quite simple.

They are divided into five categories based on the five basic spiritual roots: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. When a cultivator's cultivation reaches the fourth-layer Qi cultivation and develops divine sense, they can choose an appropriate cultivation technique for formal study.

Of course.

Cultivation techniques also come in many levels, which we won't discuss for now and will mention later.

Apart from the basic cultivation techniques that can biubiubiu shoot beams of light, the Damo Realm also has all sorts of strange techniques.

Mingmou's "Great Simulation Technique" is one such type.

Moreover, there are techniques for controlling thoughts, ones where you can hone your divine sense to see through things, ones that allow you to become invisible after cultivating, and so on.

These techniques can be used for both frivolous and serious purposes, depending on the individual.

Apart from the examples mentioned above, there is another very representative type of technique in the Damo Realm.

That would be the beast-taming technique.

As long as one starts practicing this technique, they have the opportunity to tame demonic beasts for their own use.

Whether as a mount or for combat, they serve as excellent external support.

If one can cultivate to the pinnacle, they might even tame flood dragons to create immense profits for themselves, becoming a hegemon like the great families that craft Dragon Roar Talismans.

However, this beast-taming technique is expensive in the Damo Realm, even the most basic technique costs over forty thousand spirit stones.

Moreover, this type of technique involves the concept of 'inheritance' in the cultivation field, making it very cumbersome to purchase.

In fact, the rabbits had been eyeing this type of technique since their time in the Ziqiong Market.

Firstly, the rabbits are collectors; playing a game without filling up the card slots makes them very uncomfortable.

Whenever they come across something, they collect it first regardless of its usefulness.

Secondly, the rabbits are quite interested in these techniques.

Just like everyone has their own Sword Immortal dream.

Who hasn't fantasized about wearing a white robe, accompanied by melodious music, peacefully ascending to the west on a crane in front of onlookers?

Eh? Why does this sentence seem a bit odd?

In short.

If this type of technique can be widely cultivated or deciphered, at least the local huskies and cat enthusiasts might stand a chance.

Cough cough....

To put it seriously, the simplest impact would be the rabbits having a huge boost in reconnaissance abilities. The details are too sensitive to elaborate on.

Besides, the derivation of high-mobility flying units is also a valuable field.

Unfortunately, when the trade group was in Ziqiong City, the needed materials were simply too numerous, making it impossible to spare enough spirit stones to buy the beast-taming technique.

Thus, this matter had to be temporarily put on hold.

According to the rabbits' original plan.

The Fire Camp would only be able to spare enough spirit stones to purchase the beast-taming technique in about four months.

After all, the priority of this technique is relatively lower than talismans and pills, so it needs to be gradually accumulated.

But as the saying goes, plans can't keep up with changes.

During the recent reconnaissance of the beast tide in Xiaolianzi Mountain, Bo Binghui's team gathered a special piece of intelligence:

The Luo Family in Dingxing City is a small beast-taming family that possesses the beast-taming technique!

Honestly speaking, this situation is quite common in the Damo Realm, many medium and small families survive through secret techniques or special products.

For example, Chixian City also has the special spirit plant Seven-Color Vine, which is listed as a long-term procurement material by the Purple Treasure Pavilion.

It's a form of survival of the fittest to some extent; cities without certain trump cards have long been buried like fans of the national power corporation.

Thus, upon learning that the Luo Family had a complete set of beast-taming techniques, the think tank set up the current plan without much thought.

Yes, really just on a whim.

A small city lord is not worth the think tank's dedicated efforts to target.

And that's how the scene of Lei Yiming scolding Wang Qiang unfolded earlier.

Of course, Wang Qiang, the bystander, was completely unaware.

"The whole world but me has read the script.jpg"

As they say, a word to wake the sleeping person.

Perhaps because the beast-taming technique was so expensive and not often inquired about.

Initially, Luo Xiaotai really didn't think about his family's technique.

So upon hearing Lei Yiming's words.

He suddenly felt a jolt, and in his excitement, his blood surged, almost turning Luo Xiaotai into Luo Xiaomu.

The feeling was like suddenly finding a forgotten five hundred dollars while organizing your clothes, as if seeing an angel.

Luo Xiaotai swiftly pulled Lei Yiming, who was 'angrily' addressing Wang Qiang, and with a beaming smile, said:

"Steward Lei, this young lady is right. My family has a transmission jade slip of the beast-taming technique. If your esteemed side is interested, just name a price and take it!"

The transmission jade slip for the beast-taming technique is extremely difficult to make. Not only are the material costs high, but it also requires a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage or higher to remain in seclusion for over five years to create.

But compared to the demonic beast remains in front, the transmission jade slip seems less crucial—at least from Luo Xiaotai's perspective as the creator.

Perhaps the family's jade slip might even fetch a good price.

Facing him,

Lei Yiming was secretly pleased, knowing the fish had taken the bait.

However, as a veteran of the foreign trade alliance, he wasn't a rookie angler. He understood that one shouldn't pull the hook immediately after getting a bite.

So he immediately put on a courteous expression, shook his head calmly, and said:

"Oh, City Lord Luo, why say such things? It was just a joke from an ignorant junior. There's no need for us to take it seriously, no need at all.

Besides, with our Lighthouse Commerce Association's capabilities... our storage doesn't lack various beast-taming cultivation techniques."

Luo Xiaotai's smile instantly froze upon hearing this.

Only then did he remember, after getting so excited at hearing about the beast-taming technique and expecting to sell his family's inheritance jade slip for a good price, that the other party represented a large commercial association capable of flattening the beast tide at Xiaolianzi Mountain.

Being able to destroy the beast tide in an offensive battle is much harder than relying on array defenses on the city walls.

If one must say, the difference is easily tenfold.

At least, as far as he knew, Celestial Fate City definitely didn't have the capability, at least not with such ease—from the time the spy reported back to when he arrived on the scene, only a little over an hour had passed.

To eliminate the beast tide within such a limited time, at least fifteen Core Formation Realm individuals would be needed to crush with superior force!

So conservatively estimating, the other party's strength was at least on par with Purple Treasure Pavilion's tier.

And does such a giant lack beast-taming techniques?

What a joke!

Having understood this, he shriveled from displaying the brashness of Luo Xiaomu back to Luo Xiaotai.

With a conflicted expression, he said to Lei Yiming:

"Steward Lei, to be honest... the amount of spirit stones at my disposal is just over twenty thousand. If we don't trade in for the family cultivation techniques, I'm afraid we can't afford these monster remains."

After speaking, he glanced at Lei Yiming secretly, seemingly worried that Lei Yiming might consider doing business with Giant Spirit City ninety miles away. He gritted his teeth and added:

"Our family's cultivation technique has been optimized and improved by our ancestors, increasing its success rate over ordinary techniques... If your commerce association finds it worthy, subtract thirty-five thousand spirit stones!"

After hearing this, Lei Yiming remained silent, displaying a thoughtful expression, waiting for a response from the headquarters.

Luo Xiaomu's claim of an optimized technique was likely boasting to enhance its appeal—not very credible, and should not be overly hopeful.

After all, these days, exaggerating claims is as common as saying ridiculous things to achieve one's objectives.

But even if the beast-taming technique from Star City was just an ordinary technique, Luo Xiaotai's offer was about 15% cheaper than the market price.

Luo Xiaotai was quite clever and decisive, so when he realized he couldn't exploit the situation, he immediately opted for the best available solution.

As City Lord of Star City, he had considered extreme situations in everyday life.

Things like family self-preservation methods or inheritance assets during a crisis, therefore, he really had inquired about the value of their family cultivation techniques.

The beast-taming technique, passed down by the Luo Family, was roughly valued at about forty-two to forty-three thousand, with the theoretical purchasing price by associations being around thirty-seven to thirty-eight thousand.

But that's just theoretical.

With resources in the Damo Realm becoming increasingly scarce, the market demand for beast-taming techniques isn't high compared to strategic resources.

Additionally, the acquisition cost for beast-taming techniques isn't low, so most associations wouldn't stock a large number.

Consequently, it's not that easy to quickly find an interested commerce association to purchase it.

Typically, an association would post the seller's beast-taming technique through its channels and only discuss purchase once interest is confirmed.

So, unlike the quick-selling items like Xianyuan Earth Essence or Muyajing that are sold blindly, beast-taming techniques rely entirely on buyer demand, and more often than not, they remain listed for a long time.

For example, within the Luo Mansion, there was a jade slip of a cultivation technique placed for more than twenty years without even a single inquiry.

Over time, Luo Xiaotai subconsciously forgot about it—it could only be recalled when given thought, but won't come to mind quickly in an emergency.

In such a macro environment.

The price Luo Xiaotai offered definitely wouldn't make a profit, but the loss would be limited.

But those monster materials were different.

Once these monster remains were in hand, they could be easily sold in the short term—being sought by others proactively.

Though Luo Xiaotai was calculating quickly in his mind, the rabbits were doing their own match calculations accordingly.

Trying to exploit money from the rabbits wasn't easy, especially in recent years.

After about a dozen breaths' time.

Lei Yiming seemed to make a decision and gently shook his head, speaking heavily:

"City Lord Luo, thirty-five thousand spirit stones is still too high. As you know, the current market isn't doing too well, and we might not easily sell it after acquiring it.

However, considering your circumstances, it's not appropriate to refuse either.

So if you truly wish to trade the cultivation technique, I will offer you a price... as a gesture of friendship, thirty thousand spirit stones.

If that works, we can discuss the next steps; if not, we'll proceed with a transaction based on your current spirit stones. How does that sound?"

"Thirty thousand spirit stones..."

Luo Xiaotai repeated the number, quickly calculating in his mind.

When he had inquired about pricing, he gained extra insights.

To quickly offload a forty-two three worth cultivation technique in the short term, it needed to be discounted to about thirty-three thousand.

In other words, if he accepted Lei Yiming's offer, the cultivation technique would represent a loss of three thousand spirit stones.

This amount could buy the remains of fifteen thousand monster beasts, and assuming a net profit of 0.3-0.5, he could stand to gain 4500-7500.

With a net profit of a minimum of 1500 and a maximum of 4500—as long as no specific director is handling it, this amount would almost certainly be secure.

Thinking of this, Luo Xiaotai clenched his teeth hard:

"Steward Lei, we'll take this deal!"

Upon seeing this, Lei Yiming finally showed a hint of a smile and extended his hand warmly:

"Then City Lord Luo, here's to a pleasant cooperation!"
