When Feng Ruotong and Zhang Tiantian heard this, they immediately smiled. Money is vulgar? Sorry, but for him, money is the most important thing.
Zhou Ran, who was standing nearby, immediately smiled when he heard Sheng Ning's words. He thought to himself, "This kid is pretty savvy, but money isn't vulgar, ha ha."
"Um... I'm actually very busy, but if you really want me to help you cultivate it, it's not impossible. It just depends on how much sincerity you have." Zhou Ran adjusted his mindset and said.
"That's easy. What does Mr. Lin need?" Sheng Ning hurriedly asked.
"100,000! I'll help you cultivate it." Zhou Ran said immediately.
In fact, as he spoke, Zhou Ran silently checked the system to see how much the intermediate cultivation platform was charging now. It had risen to 100,000, and for a moment, Zhou Ran felt incredibly happy, but he managed to hold back.
Feng Ruotong and Zhang Tiantian were both stunned. Wasn't it 50,000 for cultivation? It had only been a few days, and now it had doubled...
Although they knew his cultivation technique was powerful, 50,000 for one day was already hard to believe. Now it was 100,000—who would believe that?
She couldn't help but check her pockets. There was no way she could afford cultivation in the future...
"Sigh," Feng Ruotong sighed quietly.
After hearing the sigh, Zhou Ran silently glanced at Feng Ruotong.
"???"
What did that look mean? Was he looking down on her for being broke...
This was too hard...
"Ten thousand?" Sheng Ning heard Zhou Ran's words and was slightly startled, looking at Zhou Ran with great curiosity. It wasn't because the fee was too high, but because it was only ten thousand? If even the Snow Woman Beast could be directly cultivated to be so powerful, my own Golden Silk Dragon Python would be unstoppable. This fee is way too cheap.
Based on Sheng Ning's previous understanding, such incredibly powerful cultivation shops are usually run by master-level cultivators, and the fees are extremely high, starting at least in the hundreds of thousands. Some are even impossible to secure with money alone, requiring months of waiting on a reservation list.
"No problem. " Sheng Ning immediately nodded in agreement. Meanwhile, Feng Ruotong and Zhang Tiantian were both stunned. The world of the wealthy is truly incomprehensible—100,000 yuan doesn't even make them blink. How envious!
Zhou Ran was also surprised. He had thought that a 100,000 yuan breeding fee would scare him off, but he agreed so readily.
This is the world of the wealthy!
How wonderful...
At the same time, he sighed inwardly. If it weren't for the system stopping him, he would have directly asked for 200,000 yuan. Given this attitude, it wouldn't have been impossible.
But despite his excitement, he had to stay calm and not let him notice.
"Cough, cough, not bad, not bad. Alright, you can come over anytime in the next few days, and I'll help you cultivate it. However, I might be very busy then, so if you come, I can book a spot for you in advance." Zhou Ran responded casually, pretending not to care about the money at all, while handing a small card to Sheng Ning.
Feng Ruotong and Zhang Tiantian felt ashamed. This guy really has no shame. The store is busy? If it weren't for us coming here, who else would go there...
He really has a thick skin.
"Alright." Sheng Ning hurriedly took the small card and looked at it carefully, then was immediately stunned.
A store in the outer city? When did such a cultivation store open in the outer city? Ranran Pet House had never heard of it before. He turned to look at the others and asked them in a low voice.
But everyone else looked just as confused. It wasn't that Sheng Ning didn't believe it; on the contrary, he believed it too much. This was clearly a store run by a reclusive master. He silently muttered to himself, "No, I have to go check it out."
"By the way, did Lin Boss just say that the Ice Heaven Snow Woman Beast isn't afraid of even true dragon-clan beasts? That seems a bit unlikely." "If the Ice Heaven Snow Woman Beast could defeat its own Golden Silk Dragon Python, I might still believe it, but defeating a true dragon-clan beast is simply impossible.
After all, in everyone's impression, dragon-clan beasts are often extremely powerful. If we were to rank the strength of beasts in a pyramid, the dragon-clan would definitely be at the top. As for the Ice Heaven Snow Woman Beast, although it is also very powerful, it is at most only at the middle level.
"What's impossible about it?" Zhou Ran replied indifferently, "Currently, this Ice Heaven Snow Woman Beast may not be able to do it, but that doesn't mean it's truly impossible. Have you heard of the Ice Emperor Beast?"
"Ice Emperor Beast!" Upon hearing those three words, Sheng Ning was completely stunned for a moment.
That was the Ice Emperor Beast, a legendary divine-level exotic beast, the strongest of the ice-type exotic beasts, and most importantly, the ancestor of all Snow Maiden Beasts, a queen-like existence. However, it was said that this exotic beast had completely vanished, and had not appeared on Blue Sea Star for thousands of years.
"The Ice Emperor Beast is indeed powerful, but it is an extinct exotic beast. Mr. Lin is exaggerating," Sheng Ning said after taking a breath.
Feng Ruotong, who was standing nearby, was even more stunned when she heard the words "Ice Emperor Beast." How could she associate her own Ice Heaven Snow Woman Beast with that terrifying beast? Although she knew Zhou Ran's breeding techniques were powerful, it was impossible for him to directly transform her beast into an Ice Emperor Beast. He must be showing off again...
"Haha, I was just joking. But the Ice Heaven Snow Woman Beast is still quite powerful; don't underestimate it." Zhou Ran chuckled a few times and said.
He was just speaking off the cuff. As for the Ice Emperor Beast, it was simply impossible for such a creature to exist. Moreover, it seemed that most of the ancient divine-level beasts had disappeared, and the timing was quite close. However, the system's Beast Encyclopedia did not provide further explanation, leaving him to speculate that there must be some hidden secret behind it.
"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Lin. I'll take my leave now and will definitely visit your store another day." Sheng Ning bowed with both hands clasped before Zhou Ran, then led his few henchmen away.
Zhou Ran smiled and nodded, thinking to himself that Sheng Ning wasn't too bad. Though he was a bit of a show-off, he was pretty straightforward—much better than that Su Heng from the spatial fissure last time.
Both were wealthy young masters, yet why such a huge difference?
After Sheng Ning left, Feng Ruotong hurriedly asked Zhou Ran, "Sir, you suddenly mentioned the Ice Emperor Beast earlier. Have you seen it? Could my Ice Heaven Snow Woman Beast..."
"Haha, what are you thinking? I was just saying it to scare him. Do you really think I have the power to evolve your beast into an Ice Emperor Beast?" Zhou Ran immediately interrupted Feng Ruotong and laughed.
Feng Ruotong was speechless for a moment and obediently watched the competition.
Soon, the final second-year exhibition match concluded, and both teams withdrew orderly under the host's announcement.
After the second-year matches, the most anticipated third-year semifinals—the quarterfinals—began. This was their final major assessment in the academy, determining their future prospects, and each participant was eager and excited.
