Chapter 478: No problem, I’m in no way in a hurry!

There was not much difference between owing one spirit stone or two. In the end, he still owed something.

He would surely return these two spirit stones of the Fourth Stage in the future.

Therefore, Song Shuhang nodded and said, "Alright."

The stall vendor quickly delivered the spirit beast crystal to Song Shuhang and took the spirit stone of the Fourth Stage from Venerable White's hands.

The rarer a thing was, the more it was worth. But while spirit beast crystals were rare goods, they were quite useless and thus difficult to sell.

"Fellow Daoist, can I ask you to which spirit beast does this crystal belong to?" Song Shuhang asked as he held the jewel-like spirit beast crystal between his hands.

"It's a 'tiger crystal'. It's a spirit beast crystal that comes from a spirit beast that belongs to the family of tigers," the stall vendor said.

A tiger crystal? Why did this tiger crystal resonate with me, making me feel as though I had to get it at all costs?

Just as he was thinking, Song Shuhang took out the pearl he bought from the businesswoman earlier and asked, "Fellow Daoist, do you know to which spirit beast does this crystal belong to?"

This little fellow daoist likes collecting spirit beast crystals? Had I known earlier, I would have increased the price of the tiger crystal a little! No, I can't do that. Being greedy is bad...

The stall vendor took the precious pearl from Song Shuhang's hands and after examining it for a while, he said, "If I'm not mistaken… this spirit beast crystal should belong to a spirit beast that comes from the family of turtles. The spirit beast crystals of spirit beasts of the snake and turtle category have the shape of a pearl. However, the aura mixed within this spirit beast crystal is more similar to that of a turtle."

"Thank you." Song Shuhang nodded and received his spirit beast crystal.

A tiger-type spirit beast crystal, and a turtle-type spirit beast crystal… why did they resonate with me?

What special relationship is there between me, turtles, and tigers?

Song Shuhang put in order his thoughts and made a list of the all his goods and cultivation techniques… then, he immediately thought of something… the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Technique❯!

It was the only thing on his body that had something to do with 'beasts'.

It was a unique cultivation technique that could allow one to condense pseudo innate true qi after the birth. There were thirty-three different cultivation methods included in this technique, and Song Shuhang chose to practice the ❮Huge Whale's Technique❯ amongst them.

Aside from whales, tigers and turtles were also amongst the 33 beasts related to this technique.

Is the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Technique❯ the reason these two spirit beast crystals resonated with me?

Venerable White brought Song Shuhang and Soft Feather along and kept strolling through the street market.

"Senior White, are there other places that sell spirit beast crystals in this street market?" Song Shuhang asked. He wanted to know whether or not his guess was correct.

If all the spirit beast crystals belonging to animals related to the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Technique❯ resonated with him, he would be 50% sure that his guess was correct.

And if he were to find spirit beast crystals of animals that weren't related to the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Technique❯, he could have a try and see if they resonated with him. If they didn't, he would have definitive proof that his guess was correct.

"I think we'll find more if we keep strolling through the street market," Venerable White said with a smile. "Do you have something in mind?"

"Yeah… I think there might be a relationship between the spirit beast crystals and the cultivation technique Senior White taught me," Song Shuhang said in a low voice.

Venerable White thought for a moment.

Soon after, a circular golden rune flashed through his eyes… that golden rune was a section of the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Technique❯.

At this time, Venerable White was analyzing that section of the technique.

After a short while, Venerable White faintly nodded. "It might be possible… let's keep looking around. We might find other spirit beast crystals."

After one hour and a half.

After the trio visited all the stalls once, they obtained a total of seven spirit beast crystals.

These spirit beast crystals were of the following types: rabbit, sheep, deer, dog, bear, horse, and crane.

Those sects specialized in raising spirit beasts would raise these types of beasts most of the time. Therefore, the most common and easily found spirit beast crystals in street markets were of these seven types.

If we were to add these seven spirit stones to the count as well, Song Shuhang now owed Senior White a total of nine spirit stones of the Fourth Stage. Little by little, his debt was slowly increasing...

Aside from these, Venerable White and Song Shuhang found other types of spirit beast crystals as well, like those belonging to bees and butterflies. These two types of spirit beasts were also largely raised by cultivators.

However, just as Song Shuhang expected, these two types of spirit beast crystals didn't resonate with him.

Butterflies and bees weren't amongst the thirty-three animals related to the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Technique❯.

"With that, we are now sure that these spirit beast crystals are related to the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Technique❯. Perhaps it's another method you can use to condense pseudo-innate true qi..." Venerable White said.

"?" Song Shuhang looked at Senior White in puzzlement. Since the beginning, the one in charge of developing the cultivation technique was Venerable White. Song Shuhang was just in charge of practicing it.

Earlier, Venerable White obtained the first two volumes of the technique from that person behind the organization of assassins, the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Sect. After revising and improving it, he passed it onto Song Shuhang.

After practicing the Huge Whale Chapter of the technique, a needle-shaped stream of true qi had already condensed in Song Shuhang's dantian, standing upright right in the center. This needle-shaped stream of true qi was the embryonic form of the pseudo innate true qi.

However, they didn't have any idea on how to turn this embryonic form of true qi into pseudo-innate true qi.
