Chapter 4: Beast Crystal

"Rest assured, leave it to me." After glancing at everyone's list, he exclaimed in astonishment, "Are you all planning to spend a fortune?!"

Hello, Uncle Chen," Yang Tong greeted politely

Upon hearing this, Yang Tong immediately nodded in agreement, saying, "Alright!" In fact, he had long wanted to go; for these past years, his life had been a monotonous routine of commuting between home, work, and school, and he was thoroughly bored.

Early the next morning, after the Yang family had breakfast, Yang Tong was about to practice his martial arts when Yang Tong called out to him, saying: "You are not going to school today; how about coming with me to take a look at the Mercenary Guild?"

The location of the Mercenary Guild is at the common junction of the eight major districts, in other words, it is at the city center, adjacent to the Town Hall

The mercenary guild is indeed far more magnificent than elsewhere, with its grand entrance featuring five openings and a ten-story building, making it the tallest structure in the county.

Everyone, let's discuss how to respond to this crisis. Our strength may not be the strongest in the entire county, but we are certainly among the core ranks. It seems we cannot escape the task of defending the city, concluded Yang Tong.

While driving, Yang Tong said, "Son, once we arrive at the Mercenary and Library Guild, observe more, think more, and speak less, understand? The Mercenary Guild has significant influence, even the city hall does not dare to provoke it, and it is spread across all cities and counties of the Royal Feather Kingdom"

Currently, upon receiving news of the large-scale gathering of the barbaric beasts and the potential siege by the beast horde, all warrior families have unanimously chosen to allocate their reserve funds to purchase more advanced spiritual tools and expensive potions

I got on my father's motorcycle and left home

He is Uncle Li. This Uncle Li has a prominent scar on his face, and his nickname is Scar.

At that moment, a middle-aged man dressed in a long robe stepped into the lobby on the first floor, and the group of martial artists at the entrance respectfully made way for him

In the event that the pillar of the family collapses one day, at least there will be this reserve fund to meet the necessities of life

"I have met Lord Yanhuo," some apprentice ninth-level martial artists greeted, while those below the ninth-level apprentice martial artists did not even have the qualification to greet.

On the left side of the hall, there is a bar where seven men of varying sizes are gathered together, chatting and drinking.

"Understood, Dad, I won't cause any trouble," Yang Tong replied thoughtfully.

Well, this is something that cannot be helped. Luo Xiaojuan felt somewhat reluctant, as it is known that beast crystals are equivalent to spirit coins, and they serve as energy sources for all spiritual tools and daily necessities at home. Spiritual weapons also require them as energy and ammunition. Although high-grade beast crystals are somewhat inferior to standard crystals, the key point is that beast crystals are derived from the crystallization within the bodies of savage beasts, which incurs no cost. However, the reason beast crystals are precious lies in their uncertainty; they are not present in every savage beast. Some powerful savage beasts do not possess beast crystals, while some weaker ones do. It is possible that you may kill one hundred high-grade savage beasts and not obtain a single beast crystal, yet you might kill just ten weaker savage beasts and collect one from each.

Every household, as long as it is a family of warriors relying on hunting savage beasts for a living, will stockpile a large amount of beast crystals as a reserve resource akin to hard currency

We have stored a certain amount of beast crystals. Take out all the low-level beast crystals, and half of the mid to high-level beast crystals to purchase more advanced spiritual tools, medicines, and * diagrams *.

"Let's go, I see a few friends over there, let's head over." Yang Tong was quite familiar with this place, pulling Yang Tong towards the small bar on the right. "The first floor is the mission hall, the second floor is for special missions, and the floors above are the trading hall, where many good items can be purchased."

Yang Tong looked at his father, feeling somewhat hesitant

One person noticed Yang Tong's arrival and called out, "Hey, Boss Yang has arrived"

"Old Yang, this mere low-grade beast crystal is just a snack for my nephew," the monkey explained with a grin.

It has basically been confirmed; otherwise, we would not have been staying in the city without going out these days

A few people exchanged glances and said with a bitter smile, "We don't want this either; our lives are at stake. It's impossible to avoid significant losses."

The Fengxuan Continent can be considered vast and sparsely populated. Take Luoyu County as an example; the entire county town covers a large area, with each household living in villa-style houses, making high-rise buildings unnecessary. Therefore, the ten-story building that houses the Mercenary Guild is one of the few in both Luoyu and Tushu Counties. Of course, there are high-rise residences, but they are occupied by a relatively impoverished group of people

"Elder Yang, is this your son?"

Yang Tong listened attentively while eating, and he began to discern some significance in the conversation. He couldn't help but feel a sense of alarm as he carefully observed the surrounding soldiers, nearly everyone wore a worried expression, their demeanor hurried, evoking a sense of impending storm. It truly seemed that something significant was about to occur

The monkey has already expressed itself, I cannot fall behind either, here you go. Uncle Scar Li revealed a smile more hideous than a ghost and also presented a beast crystal of the same level.

"Fatty, this is my beast crystal, and this is the list of items I want to buy. You have connections," Yang Tong said, handing a bulging sack from his ring to the fattest guy. The others also followed suit, taking out their own beast crystals.

Upon entering the main entrance, one immediately feels a refreshing and captivating atmosphere. The entire hall is vast, and the most striking feature is the enormous screen directly facing the entrance, which continuously displays various task information. People come and go, creating a bustling scene.

At the sound of this announcement, the atmosphere in the hall shifted. All the practitioners at the level of a ninth-grade martial master, as mentioned in the book, paused their tasks and conversations, each one cupping their hands in greeting and saying, "I have met Lord Yan Huo." This included Yang Tong and the other eight, who also stood up and offered their respectful salutation.

"Alright, I accept it," Yang Tong nodded and said

As per usual, however, this time it seems that we few may not be sufficient; we must contact more teams to advance and retreat together.

Not bad, you have the demeanor of your father in his youth

Yang Tong ordered a platter of grilled meat at the bar and asked Yang Tong to take it aside to eat, while the adults gathered together to discuss something.

"Oh, how considerate, I like it," he said, and with a flick of his hand, he took out an irregular crystal the size of a ping pong ball and handed it to Yang Tong, saying, "This is a gift for our meeting, take it."

I believe everyone is already aware of this said Yang Tong in a deep voice

The remaining individuals each presented a low-grade beast crystal to Yang Tong

I remember your son is at most twelve years old this year, and he has really grown strong

Yang Tong walked over, smiled, and introduced one by one to Yang Tong: "This guy who looks a bit like a monkey, you can call him Uncle Chen." Among the seven, he was the smallest and indeed resembled a monkey somewhat
