Chapter 497: Monster Shopping
Sage stepped into the first beast shop he saw in the Golden Market. The nameplate over the door read Coastal Critters, which he found to be quite an unusually whimsical name for a business. Most of the businesses hed seen in this world liked to have a high sounding and fortuitous tilt to their name. Gold, Jade, Lucky, Palace, Pleasant, and many other similar names that were meant to bring good luck were the usual. Theyd even used a similar style of name for their own business. Of course, that also meant he was always curious to look into every business that broke that trend. He was sure they were either fools, or weirdos; and weirdos always seemed to stumble upon good stuff.
Stepping inside, Sage was surprised by what he saw. Contrary to the usual look of a pet store crowded with cages, it seemed he walked into a fish store. There were waist height pools that looked like the touch pools at an aquarium, filled with small creatures and set up in a u-shape around the room like they were the shops counters. That said, glass was not something the people in this world used and so the counters were more like giant stone troughs. Around the walls of the room were huge vats a full five feet tall and Sage saw some workers reaching into them with nets and scooping out fish. At that moment he realized that aquariums werent really a thing here and added a mental note to add it to his city upgrades. Imagine how jealous others would be if I set up a floor to ceiling aquarium in the City Lords Manor.
After looking around for a while, Sage found the place was essentially like an herb shop, but for sea creatures. They certainly didnt have any Demonic Beast fish in the shop, rarely anyone would since it would cost a small fortune to create a pen for them that not only held water, but a powerful monster. Most of the fish business consisted of trade in their body parts and flesh, not live animals. Coastal Critters was a rarity in that they focused upon all the little snails, starfish, anemones, plankton, vegetation, and other similar tiny things that could be collected from the sea. Most of these beings werent all that useful on their own, but just like the many herbs and natural treasures they could be refined and combined into medicines, pills, magical tools, or even just eaten as delicacies. These little creatures were very small, but Sage found the prices in the place to be quite high. He thought about buying a bunch of them to populate his Inner World, but then he realized it might just be simpler to just hop into the ocean himself.
At that moment he realized hed overlooked a great resource. Wasnt the sea always a place full of life? Even for cultivators it was a dangerous place, since there were also Demonic Beasts and they werent weakened by the water around them. But, what about for him? Hadnt he had some gills in the past? Couldnt he merge with some sea creatures and put him on the same level as the native creatures? He was standing there motionlessly in the store and couldnt help but to smile widely. One of the shop attendants had a strange look on her face as she watched his strange behavior.
It was with this gambling mood that Sage checked out all the shops in the Golden Market, purchasing a few types of firefly while also looking for the impressive or miraculous Demonic Beasts. His luck was not that good. There were a few pretty interesting creatures, but the only high ranking monsters on sale were mammals. So far hed found that for the Insect Immortal Technique to work, he needed to have an egg to work with. The wolves, tigers, and large hooved beasts he ran into that day were not what he was looking for.
After a day of shopping, he regrouped with the others that looked like they had quite a fun day. They all ate dinner together and then paid a few thousand Spirit Stones to return back to the hidden cave. An Airship and Dragoons were waiting for them and they returned to Lionheart Town to resume their normal duties. Fortunately, the day wasnt a bust as Sage found the Fireflies he was looking for, and he also had a burst of inspiration along the way.
In front of him there was a Dragoon egg sitting on a table. For this experiment he was sitting in the Lang Clan Mansion, so Wan Ling wouldnt get mad at him. He opened his hand and an orb of orange flame appeared, it flickered enchantingly and anyone that stared at it for too long might find themselves dreaming of other lives they might have lived. He placed his other hand upon the egg and his Qi started to flow, following the path of the Mature technique and hatching a little beetle into the world.
