Strongest Spirit Beast Master Family

"Just as I thought!" Blaze Regret's face lit up with delight. No wonder the Kartis family coveted this item so much. If his father hadn't cleverly transformed the original necklace into a pendant, it might have long fallen into the hands of the Kartis family head by now.

As the stardust particles gradually dispersed, the wounds on the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros were completely healed. It shook its shoulders, producing clear, crisp creaking sounds.

"Hmm?" Blaze Regret noticed that the sphere had dimmed considerably, and his brow furrowed slightly. It seemed that using the pendant exacted a certain cost.

This was understandable, though. If it could be used without any conditions, the pendant's effect would be considered miraculous. Not just the Kartis family, but even some reclusive powerhouses would stoop to vying for it.

With a single hand seal, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros stepped back into the spiritual portal. Blaze Regret held the pendant and gently sat back on Red's back. Along the way, he took out countless spiritual herbs and items from the Void Realm Stone, only to be disappointed as the pendant showed no reaction at all.

"Is this... spirit jade?"

When he touched a piece of pure white jade within the Void Realm Stone, an idea struck him. This piece of spirit jade was something he had obtained from Chen An's Void Realm Stone. Though it was just a small piece, it was quite valuable.

"Whoosh!"

As the spirit jade approached the Void Realm Stone, a bright white light flashed, and the spirit jade in Blaze Regret's hand vanished. The pendant became radiant once more.

"So this is how it recharges!" Blaze Regret joyfully turned the pendant in his hand. Now that he knew how to recharge it, he wouldn't hesitate to offer even spirit jade, or any precious items, because the pendant's effect was truly astonishing.

If it could heal wounds caused by the Dark Underworld Grass, it could likely heal other strange injuries as well, making it far more practical than pills.

"I'll call you 'Healing Star,'" Blaze Regret decided after studying the pendant for a while. He placed the pendant back into the Void Realm Stone, though he felt a bit heavy hearted. Blaze Ash's journey to the empire's capital was uncertain, and though the Spirit Lord was strong, he was not well known there.

"Forget it, no point worrying about that now," Blaze Regret shook his head vigorously, trying to dispel his thoughts. His current strength was too weak; only by working hard to improve himself would he have the right to go to the empire's capital.

Several hours later...

Sitting on Red's back, Blaze Regret gazed ahead. Although this area was within the boundaries of Bloodstone Pass, a thick, circular city wall separated the interior from the outside world.

After asking around, Blaze Regret learned that some peculiar spirit beasts could somehow ignore the powder of the Gluttonous Flower and rush over from the mountains. The towering walls were built to fend off those spirit beasts.

Passing through a rather narrow passage into the city walls, Blaze Regret noticed several figures dressed in blood red attire and squinted slightly. This seemed to be the stronghold of the Blood Seal Gate.

As he casually scanned the surroundings and was about to move on, he suddenly turned sharply, his eyes fixed on items at a stall. Among them, an orange red fruit was carefully displayed, its surface covered with layers of scale like skin.

It was the Dragon Solanum Fruit!

Standing before the stall, Blaze Regret pretended to hesitate, his eyes wandering for a moment before slowly picking up the Dragon Solanum Fruit, as if observing its pattern. This stall was undoubtedly more upscale compared to other vendors.

The goods were displayed on a long square counter, and behind it, an elderly man watched the street with an indifferent expression, as if Blaze Regret's visit was of no concern to him.

If Blaze Regret knew the reason, he would find it amusing. People usually picked up the Dragon Solanum Fruit out of curiosity, studied it for a moment, and then put it back, losing interest.

Therefore, when the old man saw a customer interested in the fruit, he would remain reclining on his chair, not even bothering to lift his head. Only a few youths, dressed in similar attire, moved in and out of the attic behind him.

Raising his gaze slightly, Blaze Regret noticed the character "Stun" on the youths' chests, and his expression changed subtly. It turned out that this stall, including the attic, was Stun Family's territory. No wonder it appeared so grand compared to other vendors.

It was said that the Stun Family patriarch, Stun Mat, was a ninth level spirit Imperial master, just one step away from becoming a powerful spiritual lord. Thus, within the Bloodstone Pass, apart from the Blood Seal Gate, the Stun Family wielded the most influence.

"Young friend, you seem surprised to see the Stun Family's emblem?" The old man lifted his head, looking at Blaze Regret with cold eyes, like a wolf eyeing its prey.

"I've heard the Stun Family is quite renowned in Bloodstone Pass. It's my first encounter, so I'm a bit curious," Blaze Regret replied with a nod and a smile.

Hearing this, the old man lowered his head without expression, not saying another word, as if he hadn't spoken at all.

"How much for this fruit?" Blaze Regret quietly breathed a sigh of relief, then raised the Dragon Solanum Fruit and asked.

"Two hundred thousand," the old man replied, a ripple finally appearing in his eyes as he saw Blaze Regret inquire about the price.

"Why is it so expensive?" Blaze Regret frowned slightly, feeling a chill inside. Could it be that the old man knew the true purpose of the Dragon Solanum Fruit, which was why he dared to ask for such a high price?

"This fruit is called the Dragon Solanum Fruit. After refining a warrior grade spirit beast, it can definitely break through a level. And if luck is on your side, consecutive breakthroughs are not out of the question," the old man explained with a hint of mystery in his words. Continue reading at empire
