Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 714

Chapter 714: Chapter 644: Mysterious Fire Slurry

"What do you want?" Qiao Sang asked.

When the resources used become rare to a certain extent, they basically can’t be bought with money alone.

Although S-rank and SS-rank resources differ by only one level, their values are worlds apart, so Qiao Sang wasn’t surprised that the other party didn’t want money.

The middle-aged Caucasian said in a deep voice, "I want half a pound of ghost fire pulp."

Ghost fire pulp? What’s that? Never heard of it... Qiao Sang was momentarily baffled but kept a calm facade and said,

"I don’t have any ghost fire pulp on me right now, but you can give me a contact method, and I’ll get in touch with you once I get my hands on some."

As expected of someone who wants to trade for an S-rank Yin Zhao Pearl, he remained so calm upon hearing ’half a pound of ghost fire pulp’... The middle-aged Caucasian was both surprised and delighted, feeling hopeful about obtaining the ghost fire pulp, and immediately took out his phone to exchange contact information.

After noting him down as [Yin Zhao Pearl], Qiao Sang thought of something and set her friend circle visibility to three days.

Her admission notice was also there, and it wouldn’t be good if someone saw that information.

The middle-aged Caucasian put down his phone and suddenly admitted,

"Actually, there are two other people who have made this deal with me. I only have one SS-rank Yin Zhao Pearl, and if one of them brings out the ghost fire pulp first, I’ll agree to trade with them. Likewise, if you are the first to bring out the ghost fire pulp, I’ll also trade with you."

So he’s putting competitive pressure on me... Qiao Sang nodded,

"I understand."

The middle-aged Caucasian stood up, turned, and was about to leave, but just as he opened the door, he looked back and said,

"The Koteria Volcano will erupt in three days, you might want to go there then."

Qiao Sang: "???"

Hey, hey, hey, how do you know I’d go during a volcanic eruption... Besides, doesn’t the Koteria Volcano erupt almost once a month? The half-month period isn’t up yet... A string of question marks flashed through Qiao Sang’s mind, but to maintain her persona, she said calmly,

"I’m aware."

Seeing this, the middle-aged Caucasian didn’t say anything more and went out the door.

As soon as the door closed, Qiao Sang immediately picked up her phone and typed "ghost fire pulp" into the search box.

Soon, related information popped up on the screen:

[Ghost fire pulp is an extremely rare material used by spectral-type pet beasts to practice fire element skills; after absorption, it can drastically increase the proficiency level of a spectral-type pet’s fire element skills.]

[It might not sound like much, but after absorption, a spectral-type’s fire element skills at completion level might reach Mystique in an instant.]

[Sounds amazing, right? But this stuff is super rare, forget about the market, there’s typically no stock, and even if there is, it’s immediately sent to those Beast Taming noble families.]

[If you’re really keen, you might try your luck near volcanoes.]

[At night, if a volcano erupts blue magma, that’s ghost fire pulp.]

[However, not every night eruption yields blue magma, and the only known active volcanoes that produce ghost fire pulp are the Misfortune Volcano in the Thirtieth District and the Koteria Volcano in the Nineteenth District.]

[If these volcanoes erupt red magma at night, you can take your chances and check the base, where there might be a small amount of ghost fire pulp.]

[Of course, it’s also possible that there is none at all.]

No wonder that man told her to check out the Koteria Volcano when it erupted; it turns out that ghost fire pulp is produced during night time eruptions... Qiao Sang suddenly realized.

She pondered for a while, then rose and went out to the virtual screen in the center of the hall to post a message that she wanted ghost fire pulp.

If the information is true, even if Koteria Volcano erupts at night, there might not be any ghost fire pulp, and going to the base of the volcano is too dangerous, so it would be better to trade for it from someone else... Qiao Sang thought cautiously.

One minute later, the screen changed from [Please Wait] to [No Traders Available, Please Try Again Later]

It seemed her task posting duration was only one minute... Qiao Sang took the elevator back up regretfully.

In the time that followed, she visited nearly every stall but sadly saw neither the required Yin Zhao Pearl nor ghost fire pulp.
