Chapter 84: Ch 84- Spirit Fox
"The next large auction will be held in about two and a half months," said Bai Yun. "The exact date hasn’t been decided yet but the Beast Association will announce it once everything is prepared."
"Two and a half months?"
Mo Yuan frowned slightly.
That was longer than he expected.
He looked back at the list in his hand and started going through it again. Most of the beasts were ordinary and didn’t interest him much.
Then his eyes stopped on one particular name.
"Spirit Fox?"
Among all the beasts on the list, this was the only one that caught his attention.
According to the information, Spirit Foxes were known for their ability to create illusions.
’Illusions...’
Mo Yuan’s eyes narrowed.
’If it can create illusions, then it probably uses mental energy or some kind of soul power.’
His expression became serious.
His soul wasn’t particularly strong right now. Although his Origin Sense had reached 70 meters, he still hadn’t obtained any talent that could directly strengthen his soul or mental resistance.
More importantly, he still had the problem of his Blood Saber Intent.
After what happened inside the Cultivation Tower, Mo Yuan didn’t dare to casually use his Blood Saber Intent anymore.
’I can’t properly use my Blood Saber Intent until I find a good Soul Talent or Mental Resistance Talent.’
Because of this, the Spirit Fox suddenly became much more interesting to him.
’Hopefully, this beast has a good talent.’
Mo Yuan looked at Bai Yun.
"Can I take a look at this Spirit Fox?"
"Of course, sir."
Bai Yun nodded but then he seemed to remember something.
"However, if you don’t mind me asking, do you have a Beast Tamer Talent?"
Mo Yuan paused.
"No. Is that a problem?"
Bai Yun’s expression became slightly awkward.
"Well, sir, the beasts we sell are still beasts. Most of them are naturally aggressive, especially as their cultivation becomes higher."
"With a good Beast Tamer Talent or a similar talent, it becomes much easier to control them."
He explained patiently, "As beasts grow stronger, their aggression also increases. Only after reaching a certain level do they begin developing intelligence. Once they reach the Peak Grade, some powerful beasts can even develop intelligence comparable to humans."
Mo Yuan nodded slowly.
"So you don’t sell beasts to people without Beast Tamer Talent?"
"That’s correct."
Bai Yun nodded.
"It’s basically common knowledge in Cang Lan Base. That’s why I’m guessing you might be new here."
Mo Yuan’s face became slightly awkward.
’Damn, I really didn’t know that.’
He had been thinking about copying the Spirit Fox’s talent and hadn’t even considered whether he was allowed to purchase it.
Bai Yun then continued, "However, there is another way."
"If you have a friend with Beast Tamer Talent, you can purchase the beast under their name. As long as they are responsible for taking care of it, you can keep the beast with you."
Mo Yuan thought for a moment.
"Unfortunately, I don’t have any friends with Beast Tamer Talent."
Bai Yun nodded.
"Then you won’t be able to purchase the Spirit Fox yourself."
The Mo Yuan suddenly remember something.
"While I was new, I got a identification card for my beast which was at intermediate realm, at that time no one stopped me because I don’t have Beast Tamer Talent"
"Actually you can get your own beast from somewhere else and get identification card for it but if that beast is responsible for killing anyone or any damages you will be held liable"
"As for Beast association not selling beasts to people with no Beast Talent, is just one of the rules, as for the specifics we also don’t know about it" said Bai Yun
’Weird, I can get it from some other place but cant buy it from beast association, I don’t think it’s because Beasts become aggressive and people with no Beast Talent can’t control them’
"Can I at least take a look at it?"
"Yes, that shouldn’t be a problem."
Mo Yuan’s eyes brightened.
"Then please take me to see it."
"Of course, sir. Please wait here for a moment."
Bai Yun nodded before turning around and walking out of the room. As soon as the door closed behind him, Mo Yuan’s expression became serious.
’If I’m lucky, this Spirit Fox might have exactly the talent I’m looking for.’
He leaned back in his chair and waited patiently.
For him, this wasn’t simply about buying a beast.
If the Spirit Fox possessed a powerful mental or soul-related talent, he might finally find a way to deal with his Blood Saber Intent and if the talent was good enough, he would have another powerful ability as well.
Ten minutes later, Bai Yun returned to the room holding a small cage. Inside the cage was a tiny white fox. Its body was covered in soft white fur and it looked rather harmless compared to the fierce beasts Mo Yuan had seen before.
Mo Yuan immediately activated his Copy and Paste Talent. An information panel appeared in front of him.
Beast: Spirit Fox
Bloodline Talent: Superior Grade
Illusion Talent: Superior Grade
Mo Yuan’s eyes lit up when he saw the Illusion Talent.
’Not bad at all. A Superior Grade Illusion Talent should be useful, especially since it is related to the soul.’
He immediately used his Copy Talent.
Copy?
’Yes.’
Copy Successful.
Mo Yuan didn’t paste it yet. He wanted to return home and test the talent properly.
Bai Yun then placed the cage on the table and explained, "This Spirit Fox has a Superior Grade Bloodline Talent and Its Illusion Talent is especially impressive. We aren’t completely sure about its exact ability but based on our tests, it should be around Superior Grade."
"Even though it is only at the Intermediate Beast Realm, its illusions can already trap a low-level Origin Soul Realm cultivator for a short time."
Mo Yuan nodded slightly. He wasn’t too surprised. Origin Soul Realm cultivators had much stronger souls, so being able to affect them while only being at the Intermediate Beast Realm was already quite impressive.
If the Illusion Talent could strengthen his soul, it might help him deal with his Blood Saber Intent.
"Not bad," Mo Yuan said with a smile.
He spent a little more time talking with Bai Yun before finally leaving the Beast Association.
Once he returned home, Mo Yuan went straight toward his cultivation chamber.
He closed the door behind him and looked at the Copy and Paste Talent panel.
’Time to see what this Illusion Talent can do.’
