...

"20% increase in Dark Night Affinity, truly worthy of Epic Quality fruit!"

Cao Xing held the strange-looking fruit in his hand, which was continuously emitting puffs of dark smoke, and admired it endlessly.

"Not bad, not bad, another good find in this black market."

"Indeed, the quality of items on the third floor is much higher."

With a sense of anticipation, Cao Xing pushed open the door to the second room.

The shop owner here also seemed to be a human.

Inside, some special weapons were being sold.

Among them were golden magic wands, armors, and so on.

Cao Xing glanced at the prices and realized that the weapons here were too expensive.

Feeling disinterested, he left the room.

Next, he pushed open the door to the third room.

He discovered that this place sold intelligence about various kingdoms, nobles, and some hidden masters.

Similarly, it was of no use to Cao Xing.

He shook his head and walked out.

Cao Xing thought to himself, "There are still two chances left."

"Hopefully, I can buy something to tame the Griffin."

With this thought, Cao Xing went straight to push open the door of the fourth room.

The room was dark.

A man wearing a gray wolf skin coat and a fur hat sat leaning back on a rocking chair, with closed eyes.

He appeared to be in his forties, with a burly, strong build and a unique aura around him.

In the room were several wooden shelves.

On them were scattered some miscellaneous items.

This made a trace of disappointment appear in Cao Xing’s eyes.

But the moment his gaze fell upon the shop owner, his pupils suddenly shrank.

...

What a guy! A Master-level Beast Tamer!

This seemingly ordinary middle-aged man is indeed deeply hidden!

It’s known that even Earl Winston only mentioned an Expert-level Beast Tamer in Merlin City.

Probably even he doesn’t know that this black market conceals a Master-level Beast Tamer.

And this raised a glimmer of hope in Cao Xing’s heart.

"Customer, what do you need?"

The burly man in the room asked somewhat lazily.

Cao Xing didn’t waste many words, "Let me see the goods first."

The man nodded.

"No problem."

[Miles Gray, allows access to the goods list, accept?]

"Yes."

Clatter!

A large list of goods appeared again before his eyes.

[Advanced Pet Contract (Purple)]: Price 150,000 Crowns (Stock 20)

[Special Pet Food (Purple)]: Price 70,000 Crowns (Stock 30)

[Book: Animal Language Introduction]: Price 330,000 Crowns (Stock 1)

[Land Bird Egg]: Price 50,000 Crowns (Stock 20)

[Master-level Pet Contract]: Price 2,000,000 (Stock 2)

...

The Master-level Beast Tamer had many items for sale.

From pet eggs, to food, and contracts, everything was here.

And what surprised Cao Xing most was the Epic Quality Dragon Taming Reins.

Even though Cao Xing hadn’t yet seen its specific attributes, hearing the name alone made it clear it was extremely terrifying!

After all, it was related to dragons.

Cao Xing asked:"Can you show me the effects of your goods?"

Hearing this, the master-level Beast Tamer replied casually.

"Sure."

With an expectant heart, Cao Xing checked the attributes of the items above.

[Book: Animal Language Introduction]

[Book Effect: Contains recordings of the voices of over ten common animals. After learning, you can communicate simply with some animals]

[Time Required to Read: 178 hours 34 minutes...]

...

[Pet Collar (Golden)]

[Quality: Treasure]

[Item Effect: When worn on a pet, you can sense the pet’s location up to a maximum distance of 1500 kilometers]

...

[Land Bird Egg]

[Item Type: Pet Egg]

[Item Effect: Can hatch into a normal quality land bird, serving as your pet or mount]

...

[Dragon Taming Reins (Orange)]

[Quality: Epic]

[Item Effect: Can be used on a Dragon Clan creature, forcing it to submit and become your pet]

(Note: The creature’s level must not exceed Level 50)

...

Seeing the note, Cao Xing was suddenly startled.

"You can actually make a dragon creature submit and become a pet!"

"What a great item!"

However, creatures like dragons, once out of the egg shell, are at least Level 30.

This [Dragon Taming Reins] is limited to below Level 50, meaning it can only work on young dragons.

But this doesn’t really matter, raising a young dragon deepens the bond!

Cao Xing really wanted to buy the Dragon Taming Reins, but he was strapped for cash.

Sighing.

He thought having tens of millions of crowns already made him wealthy.

But now, he still couldn’t afford these expensive items.

The master-level Beast Tamer still maintained a faint smile on his face, then asked:"Would you like to purchase anything, dear customer?"

Cao Xing nodded,"Yes."

"However, before that, I would like to ask you a question."

"I’m willing to pay for the consultation."

Upon hearing this, the other pondered for a moment before replying:"Go ahead and ask."

Cao Xing said:"I want to know if you have anything here that can quickly make a Griffin submit?"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he glanced at Cao Xing and seemed to understand something.

He chuckled:"Creatures like Griffins possess infinite strength and are very agile. Many people wish to tame one as their mount."

"However, this creature is unruly; even if you catch a Griffin, they’d rather die than submit."

Cao Xing nodded,"Yes, I’ve tried using a Pet Contract Scroll, but it had no effect on them."

Upon hearing this, the other’s eyes revealed a thoughtful expression.

After a moment, he spoke:"Perhaps you could use Soul Suppressing Fragrance to calm these Griffins down; this could significantly increase the success rate when using a Contract Scroll."

Cao Xing’s eyes immediately brightened; indeed, the master-level Beast Tamer had a method.

"If I may ask, do you have Soul Suppressing Fragrance for sale?"

Upon hearing this, the Beast Tamer pondered for a moment,"I’ll take a look."

"Take a look?"

Cao Xing was thoroughly puzzled.

The other didn’t offer much explanation but directly turned around and started searching through a pile of miscellaneous items in the corner.

Cao Xing’s mouth twitched.

Moments later, the Beast Tamer produced a half-stick of incense in his hand, covered in dust.

"Found it, but there’s only half left, probably effective for about 20 more minutes. Would you like it?"

Cao Xing quickly nodded,"Of course!"

"By the way, will that Soul Suppressing Fragrance work on the Griffin King?"

Upon hearing Griffin King, the man looked at Cao Xing with an intrigued expression.

He seemed a bit surprised that Cao Xing was even interested in the Griffin King.

The Beast Tamer nodded,"In theory, it’s possible, but taming the Griffin King is not easy."

"Even with Soul Suppressing Fragrance, you can’t ensure a 100% success rate for the contract due to the Griffin King’s high life level."

"High-level and expert-level pet scrolls generally won’t work; you might need a master-level Pet Contract Scroll."

Cao Xing pondered for a moment, conveniently seeing in the person’s shop such items for sale.

"Then I’ll take your master-level Pet Contract Scroll, a Pet Collar, and 30 packs of Pet Food."

Upon hearing this, the master-level Beast Tamer’s smile grew even brighter.

"What a generous customer; in that case, I’ll give you the half stick of Soul Suppressing Fragrance for free."
