Soul Vein Mother Butterfly

The upper limit of strength to enter the first-level secret realm is the extraordinary level. As long as the strength of the beast tamer has not reached the extraordinary level, they can enter the secret realm.

This restriction applies to the Beastmaster's Soul Foundation, not to the fact that a Beastmaster can enter the Secret Realm without using a transcendent-level Beast.

Even if this beast tamer only commands beasts below the extraordinary level to fight in the secret realm, as long as the beasts connected to this beast tamer's soul base reach the extraordinary level, they will be rejected by the first-level secret realm.

Zhong Yi chose the Horned Demon Secret Realm not because he was unafraid of danger or overestimated himself, but because the upper limit of strength in a level one secret realm was what it was.

Zhong Yi's contracted Red Princess reached the Silver quality level of a mortal beast, surpassing the highest level of mortal beast taming quality ever recorded.

The improvement in quality greatly enhances the strength of the beast tamer. Moreover, Hong Ji has absorbed a peak extraordinary beast, and is only one step away from stepping into the fantastical level of the bizarre.

Its combat power is simply incomparable to that of ordinary beast tamers of the same level!

Even if you're unlucky enough to encounter a large horned demon horde in the secret realm, you can still protect yourself even if you can't annihilate the horned demon horde.

Hong Ji is Zhong Yi's source of confidence, and also the reason why Zhong Yi dared to bring Zhong Ling into the Horned Demon Secret Realm.

However, for resource-based secret realms like the Horned Demon Secret Realm, which have no limit on the number of people allowed to enter and produce resources such as fire essence ore, this is not the case.

The most terrifying creatures are often not the monsters in the secret realm, but the humans who are also beast tamers!

Having traversed the Horned Demon Realm and experienced the battles, Zhong Ling would naturally know which direction to guide the Death Whisper Butterfly's advancement.

The Rare Insect Merchant Guild is a local merchant guild rooted in Star City, and as its name suggests, it mainly deals in insect-based beast taming.

Not only can they acquire ordinary-level insect-type tamed beasts, but as long as they can afford the price, they can even obtain fantasy-level insect-type tamed beasts from the Rare Insect Merchant Guild.

Although taming beasts requires starting with a contract with a mortal beast, there is still a market demand for live, extraordinary, and fantasy-level tamed beasts.

For example, some creators need the fresh bodily fluids or phosphorus powder secreted by fantasy-level insect beasts when concocting certain specific potions.

Keeping exceptional gem-quality tortoises of various colors in mansions has become a popular trend in recent years among large families and powerful families.

It is said that the Rare Insect Merchant Guild, a local merchant guild in Star City, has already opened shops in the five major cities surrounding Star City.

However, due to the chaos and strange occurrences in the lower city, the Rare Insect Merchant Guild only sets up shops in the upper city of these major cities.

As soon as Zhong Yi and Zhong Ling arrived at the Rare Insect Merchants Association, a waiter immediately came to greet them.

"Hello, welcome to the No. 7 store of the Rare Insect Chamber of Commerce."

"I wonder if you're just looking around casually, or if you have any specific needs for tamed beasts? I can recommend some for you."

Large chambers of commerce like the Rare Insect Chamber of Commerce have waiters who undergo specialized job training.

They were no less impressive than the servants of the Beastmaster Association, but they were more enthusiastic and respectful in their interactions with others.

There are several chambers of commerce in Star City that have the ability to acquire high-end resources.

The competition among these large chambers of commerce boils down to which one can better retain customers through its services.

Zhong Yi had already made up his mind about the soul-type butterfly beast that Zhong Ling would anchor herself to using her innate mother cocoon.

As the compiler of game world data, Zhongyi is essentially a mobile encyclopedia of beast taming.

Even scholars who specialize in beast taming may not have a deeper understanding of beast taming or know more about beast taming than Zhong Yi.

"Does your Rare Insect Merchants Association have the Soul Vein Mother Butterfly?"

"We need a rest room. My companion will be forming a contract with the Soul Vein Mother Butterfly in the rest room later."

The waitress, who was wearing exquisite makeup and had a very friendly smile on her face, couldn't help but show a surprised expression when she heard Zhongyi's words.

"We have Soul Vein Mother Butterflies here. I'll pick out the healthiest one for you in a bit."

"Our Rare Insect Merchant Guild has several types of soul-type butterfly taming beasts. For example, the White-winged Brain Butterfly, which has the basic skill Soul Wave, and the Earth Soul Swallowtail Butterfly, which has the basic skill Soul Slicing Wing, are both extremely good at attacking and have considerable potential as soul-type butterfly taming beasts."

Under normal circumstances, if a customer specifies a beast to tame, the attendants of the Rare Insect Merchant Guild will not make any other recommendations.

However, the Soul Vein Mother Butterfly, a type of butterfly beast, is generally considered useless, as all its skills and unique characteristics are irrelevant to combat during the training process.

Although the Soul Vein Mother Butterfly can produce pupae that nourish the soul after consuming some pollen from soul-related flowers.

However, the pupae produced by the Soul Pulse Mother Butterfly are often less valuable than the pollen from the Soul-type flowers it consumes.

This means that the Soul Vein Mother Butterfly can only be regarded as a beautiful ornamental beast, commonly known as a "beautiful but useless thing"!

The waiter couldn't imagine what other use a beast tamer's contracted soul-vein mother butterfly could have besides causing him trouble.

In addition, Zhong Yi and Zhong Ling are both quite young and may not be aware of the serious consequences of making a wrong contract with a beast.

That's why the waiter offered a reminder, but it was only a brief and indirect one.

Zhong Yi felt the waiter's kindness and smiled at him.

The White-winged Brain Butterfly and the Earth Soul Swallowtail were actually within my initial selection range.

Like the White-winged Brain Butterfly's basic skill, Soul Wave, it can launch a soul attack on the target from a distance.

The Earth Soul Swallowtail's basic skill, Soul Slicer, allows it to attack targets in melee combat.

The butterfly wing strike not only damages the target's physical body, but also affects the target's soul.

Moreover, during the cultivation process, both skills and unique characteristics may amplify the soul power.

However, the reason why Zhongyi did not choose the White-winged Brain Butterfly and the Earth Soul Swallowtail Butterfly is simple: the two are more likely to develop offensive skills and unique characteristics during the process of improvement and evolution.

Unlike the Soul Vein Mother Butterfly, whose skills and unique traits remain supportive regardless of how they are cultivated.

There is a high probability that it will amplify the soul of the Soul Vein Mother Butterfly itself.

The Soul Vein Mother Butterfly's innate skill, Soul Nourishment, can increase soul capacity.

Furthermore, as the rank and quality increase, the Soul Absorption skill's ability to expand the soul's capacity will increase exponentially.

"Thank you for your recommendation, but we will still choose the Soul Vein Mother Butterfly."

"In addition to the Soul Vein Mother Butterfly, please select forty more mortal-level, unranked Shattered Blade Butterflies for us to take to the rest room."

When the waiter heard that Zhongyi insisted on choosing the Soul Vein Mother Butterfly, he didn't say anything more and resumed his original warm and respectful attitude.

Zhong Yi and Zhong Ling waited in the lounge for less than ten minutes before the waiter returned.

He commanded a large, purplish-gray, two-headed snake, six meters long, to place two glass containers, each about half a person's height, steadily on the table in front of Zhong Yi and Zhong Ling.
