Chapter 455: Chapter 455: Wind-Chasing Fox
The three of them shed their black robes, revealing their true identities, and the surrounding air instantly felt refreshing!
This even increased Ao Yan’s excitement about exploring the street, leading Jiang Xiaobai and Ao Cheng through the various vendors continuously.
After the appearance of the world stone, Jiang Xiaobai focused on this aspect during his subsequent stroll.
However, disappointingly, the world stone was just a one-time chance, and it was almost impossible to find another one.
There was only one such piece in the entire market!
But Jiang Xiaobai did not feel disheartened, he knew the White Crane was very mysterious and quite possibly knew about the world stone. He figured he would ask him later.
It was just a matter of consequence!
After another round of shopping without finding anything interesting, the trio contacted Qin Youcai and put their long robes back on. Led by the Qian Family’s servant, they arrived at a large courtyard.
Qin Youcai had been waiting for a long time.
“Sir, this is the Beast Master Sect’s Master Fang Hu I mentioned before. He is, without a doubt, the highest authority on spiritual beasts in the Eastern Realm, and his understanding of spiritual beasts is extraordinary!”
As Qin Youcai spoke, he introduced the middle-aged man standing next to him to Jiang Xiaobai and his friends.
This Fang Hu had also heard of the renowned Iron Face Master. He came to the Qian Family to trade his Wind-Chasing Fox for some Purifying Dan using the resources at his disposal.
But he did not expect to meet the legendary figure behind the Qian Family, the Iron Face Master!
“I’ve long admired your name, sir. It’s an honor to meet you!”
Fang Hu immediately saluted Jiang Xiaobai, showing utmost respect.
Jiang Xiaobai also nodded: “Good to meet you, Master Fang Hu.”
“Oh, sir, you are making me blush. I dare not call myself a Master in front of you!”
Fang Hu exclaimed hurriedly, “You’re here for a spiritual beast, aren’t you? Just name it and if it’s in the Eastern Realm, I can get it for you. Not only am I the Beast Master Sect’s Master in the Eastern Realm, but I am also the biggest spiritual beast merchant in the entire Eastern Realm!”
“And if it’s not in the Eastern Realm, that’s not a problem. I have a lot of good friends in other places!”
Just joking, he can refine Purifying Dan! Even for that alone, he’s worth buttering up.
There’s no way building a good relationship with a person like this would be wrong.
Since meeting Jiang Xiaobai, Fang Hu’s attitude has been extremely respectful.
“It’s not quite like that, I recently acquired a spiritual beast and was hoping you could help me identify it.”
Jiang Xiaobai said with a faint smile as he pulled the Dog-Egg from his shoulder and placed it on the ground.
When Fang Hu and Qin Youcai saw the little thing, they were both taken aback.
Both of them exchanged a shocked glance.
Qin Youcai finally understood that Jiang Xiaobai hadn’t been lying, the thing really did look like a dog!
In fact, it seemed like it was just a plain old dog!
Even Fang Hu had a twitch in the corner of his mouth when he saw Dog-Egg. This was a joke, where was the spirituality in this creature?
Apart from the slight spark in the puppy’s eyes, there was no aura of spirituality coming from it.
If it weren’t for Jiang Xiaobai’s identity, had anyone else brought this thing asking him to identify its spiritual beast lineage, he would have cursed them out.
Feeling helpless, he could only stiffly say, “This spiritual beast, indeed looks… unusual…?”
“Ha, don’t think I’m messing with you. This guy came from a thousand-year-old egg, and the material of that egg was very special. Even after a full-strength hit from a late-stage crossing robber, it remained intact.”
Jiang Xiaobai said simply, “I used a special method to get it out, but I’ve always been unsure of what kind of creature it is.”
“I see.”
After Jiang Xiaobai’s explanation, Fang Hu also became serious. After all, with such a legendary background, it had to be a spiritual beast!
Master Fang carefully observed, using various means, and finally concluded…
It was just a farm dog!
But how was he supposed to explain this to Jiang Xiaobai?
If he said it was a dog, and Jiang Xiaobai was convinced it was a spiritual beast, wouldn’t that offend Jiang Xiaobai?
And he couldn’t see what it was, so what should he say?
If he said he couldn’t figure it out directly, wouldn’t that just be smacking himself in the face, causing others to doubt his professional abilities?
What on earth should he do?
“Cough, I’m sorry, but my sight isn’t very good, I really can’t tell what kind of spiritual beast this little dog is. But considering the story of how you get it, it should be something extraordinary.”
In the end, Fang Hu had to muster up the courage to tell the truth. It’s always better to be honest than to lie, after all.
Jiang Xiaobai also felt helpless. If even a Beast Master like Fang Hu couldn’t figure out what Dog-Egg was, what could he do?
He squatted down, rubbing Dog-Egg’s head: “What on earth are you?”
Qin Youcai was equally awkward on the side. He had said that once they brought in the expert, they would know what it was. But now that the expert was in, and this was the situation, what were they going to do?
So embarrassing!
But Jiang Xiaobai clearly had no intention of blaming them. Catching Qin Youcai about to explain, he interrupted with a wave of his hand.
“No worries, there are strange things in this world, we just need to get used to it.” Jiang Xiaobai smiled faintly, then turned to Ao Yan, “Yan’er, why don’t we go take a look at the Wind-Chasing Fox. If you like it, just take it home to raise.”
“Sure.”
“Great, I’ll have the Wind-Chasing Fox brought out immediately!”
Seeing Jiang Xiaobai and the others shift the topic, Fang Hu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked his disciple to bring out the divine spiritual beast, the Wind-Chasing Fox.
A huge jade cage was wheeled over, standing quietly inside was a white fox, the size of a house!
The fox stood tall and mighty, its white fur shining brilliantly. However, the tail and the spot between its eyebrows had traces of green.
Overall, it looked very attractive!
The Wind-Chasing Fox was also very proud, standing in its cage, looking down at the crowd.
Its eyes were filled with untamed wildness!
“We went through a lot of trouble to catch it. It’s under a prohibition spell now, it’s safe to touch and observe it directly.”
Fang Hu explained on the side.
Ao Yan nodded repeatedly, already eager to go over and take a closer look.
Just then, the little Dog-Egg, who was standing on the ground, seemed to see a fellow creature, and immediately rushed over to the cage. Everyone watched in disbelief as Dog-Egg slipped in with a whiff of smoke.
“No good, although the fox’s cultivation is sealed, its physical abilities are still strong. Whose dog is this, it’s seeking death!”
Fang Hu’s disciple, who was unaware of the situation, immediately shouted angrily, trying to grab Dog-Egg out.
But it was already too late. The Wind-Chasing Fox, as if startled, suddenly lowered its head.
With a wide open mouth, it seemed to be aiming at Dog-Egg’s head!
“Beast, how dare you?”
Fang Hu’s eyes nearly popped out of his sockets as he immediately rushed forward yelling.
