### Chapter 355: You Are Not Even Like That
All of a sudden, Qing Luan’s smiling face froze on the spot.
Yun Zhonghe asked, “Senior Sister Qing, should I count this as a fragment or a complete one?”
Qing Luan: “……”
Holy cr*p!
Is she seeing things?
This is a complete third-grade talisman seal!
Seriously, seriously?!
Qing Luan felt like she couldn’t sit still anymore. Especially since she had just said some reassuring words to Yun Zhonghe, worried that he would be hit hard by this discovery, only for her own face to get slapped.
Even Xia Linglong was taken aback and gasped audibly.
Xia Linglong, due to her close relationship with Qing Luan, often visited the Beast Tamer Peak to play around. She had caught a talisman seal herself under Qing Luan’s suggestion, but it was just a first-grade one because back then, Xia Linglong was still at the Golden Core stage of sword cultivation and her spiritual energy was only in the mid-stage of initial understanding.
Xia Linglong knew well how difficult it was to catch a third-grade talisman seal, and she had seen many of the internal disciples of the Beast Tamer Peak fail miserably.
This Yun Zhonghe situation was truly rare!
“Cough!” Qing Luan cleared her throat, suddenly feeling awkward. After adjusting her mindset, she smiled and said, “Well, yeah, I can feel it, this is a complete talisman seal. To capture a complete third-grade talisman seal at the late stage of initial understanding is pretty impressive, quite like what I used to do.”
Xia Linglong frowned and looked at Qing Luan, whispering, “Didn’t you get your first third-grade talisman seal during nurturing nature…”
“Shut up! Show me some respect! Even though this is my territory!” Qing Luan covered her mouth.
She was after all the personal disciple of the peak master of the Beast Tamer Peak, and now Yun Zhonghe had captured a complete third-grade talisman seal at the late stage of initial understanding. If her master found out, she would definitely be harshly disciplined and forced to focus more on cultivation instead of research.
God forbid!
She had heard that Master Youyue recently took in an apprentice who got constantly criticized and compared to others, living a miserable life.
She didn’t want to follow the same path as that little junior sister.
Why did she come to the Beast Tamer Peak? Wasn’t it to avoid more competition and instead take it easy?
After all, the requirements for cultivation were not as strict in the Beast Tamer Peak, and given her innate talent, even if she spent more time on research, her spiritual growth could still meet the demands of her master.
Therefore, once her master found out about Yun Zhonghe’s abnormal case, her good days would be over for sure.
Thinking through everything, Qing Luan suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of crisis.
“So, Linglong, don’t stick your nose in this, okay? This could threaten my very existence!” Qing Luan glared, threatening her best friend.
Xia Linglong felt embarrassed. What kind of nonsense was this?
Reluctantly, she blinked, indicating she understood.
Qing Luan let go of her and smiled at Yun Zhonghe, “You have quite a talent, Younger Brother Yun, but here in our Beast Tamer Peak, it’s a bit mediocre, to be honest.”
“You have indeed caught a complete third-grade talisman seal, but this seal is very weak, with a faint aura. It still needs to be nurtured with spiritual energy before it can be used properly.”
“I’m not kidding. Feel my third-grade talisman seal; does it compare in strength to yours? Without such a powerful seal, it’s practically useless.”
“So, even if you’ve succeeded in catching it, its use isn’t significant compared to professional spirit pet masters…”
Yun Zhonghe: “……”
For some reason, he felt like Qing Luan was PUA-ing him.
In reality, if it were a fragment put together, it would be much worse than Yun Zhonghe’s.
Qing Luan took advantage of Yun Zhonghe’s lack of knowledge about spirit pets and purposely led him astray.
Qing Luan smiled slightly, “However, Younger Brother Yun, don’t lose heart. Considering you’re not a professional spirit pet handler, achieving this much is already commendable. But from what I’ve heard, your natural talent in swordsmanship seems exceptional. Don’t waste your abilities; focus on swordsmanship, as the Mystical Sword Peak is perfect for you.”
Yun Zhonghe: “Oh… Oh…”
Yun Zhonghe scratched his head, feeling confused. He didn’t understand why Qing Luan suddenly talked about choosing peaks.
He hadn’t even gotten the qualifications to enter the inner gate yet.
But Yun Zhonghe didn’t care; he wasn’t aiming to develop in spirit pets anyway. He simply wanted to test how far his current limits of spiritual energy could go.
Of course, the most important factor was money.
The cost of Snow Cloud Sword and his forty-five spiritual beads was too high. Yun Zhonghe had no more spirit stones to spare for a spirit pet.
Actually, Chen Leling could serve as a cost-free spirit pet, with physical strength comparable to that of a late-stage Yuan Ying!
There was no need for him to keep another one.
With this realization, Yun Zhonghe chuckled, “Senior Sister Qing speaks the truth. I will hone my swordsmanship.”
Seeing Yun Zhonghe being so cooperative, Qing Luan breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, if Yun Zhonghe this weirdo joined the Beast Tamer Peak, things might have gone south for her.
To guard against any mishaps, Qing Luan decided to suggest disposing of the third-grade talisman seal Yun Zhonghe had acquired: “By the way, Younger Brother Yun, since you won’t be going down the spirit pet route, wouldn’t it be better to let me handle this third-grade talisman seal? It’s just taking up unnecessary space, and your second-grade talisman seal will suffice for inspections.”
Yun Zhonghe had summoned the talisman seal merely to pass inspection, so having an extra third one was unnecessary.
Curiously scratching his head, Yun Zhonghe asked, “How can it be handled?”
Qing Luan laughed, “There are multiple ways! The simplest route would be to sell it!”
Yun Zhonghe: “? ? ?”
Wait, what? Can this actually be sold?
Qing Luan said straightforwardly, “Indeed. And there’s a huge demand! Of course, considering it’s from our sect’s ancestral summoning talisman, it can only circulate within the sect. A third-grade talisman could fetch at least 500,000 spirit stones! Actually, now it might even sell for 1 million—things are heating up for the great competition. Many people are willing to spend whatever it takes to improve!”
One third-grade talisman seal could sell for 1 million spirit stones?!
Xia Linglong, who knew a lot about this, confirmed that it was true.
Xia Family Business sold talisman seals too, and because they were individually cultivated, starting from first-grade and growing into second and third grades over time, their prices were higher. Third-grade talismans started around 1 million, sometimes reaching 2 million per seal.
Yun Zhonghe was stunned.
Qing Luan was afraid he wouldn’t agree to sell it and was ready to persuade him further. Instead, Yun Zhonghe readily agreed.
Yun Zhonghe promptly answered, “Sell it, of course I’ll sell it!”
To earn money and not sell would be foolish.
Qing Luan was overjoyed.
