Chapter 787 Costly Puppy

All the beasts in the beast garden were specially nurtured by the Lunar Sect. These beasts were provided with high-quality food and other resources that made them more powerful.

As for the pup that acknowledged Leo as its master, it was a baby of the Lunar Moon Wolves that the Lunar Sect really values.

Moreover, that pup has successfully increased its strength to High-level Rank 2 and even successfully underwent an evolution.

In short, the pup was a moving treasure in the eyes of those in the Lunar Sect.

So, how could they let Leo take away such a treasure so easily?

Hence, Leo thought of various possibilities of what would happen when the sect learned that the pup had accepted him as its master.

The first possibility is that Leo thought that the sect would kill him.

That's right!

Since the pup had already accepted him as its master, the only way for them to take the pup back was by killing Leo because the pup would become ownerless once Leo died.

'Since I am related to Novan, I don't think they would go as far as killing me over a pup.'

However, after thinking for a moment, Leo rejected that thought because if he was killed, the chances of Novan getting an attachment to the Lunar Sect would be decreased by a lot.

Even though, in the eyes of the sect, Leo was someone who sold off his disciple to the sect in exchange for some resources, they could tell that it wouldn't be a good thing to kill Leo.

'If I am guessing correctly, they might be asking me for something in return. I don't mind paying them in exchange for the Lunar Moon Spirit Wolf.'

As long as Leo puts some effort into nurturing the pup, it won't be long before it breakthroughs and becomes a Rank 3 beast.

Once it becomes a Rank 3 beast, it could act as a guardian beast for his sect and could scare off the sect leaders of the Grade 9 sects in the future.

Also, from the skill Leo saw in the information he got from the [Quasi Divine Knowledge], it could become a good mount that could travel at a good speed.

Hence, Leo thought to use it as he mounted for his future adventures in the Dark Moon Forest.

In its current form, Leo could not ride it; however, once it becomes a Rank 3 beast, Leo could ride it without any problem because it would become big enough for Leo to ride it.

'Swoosh'

'Swoosh'

As Leo was thinking about what the sect would ask him in exchange for the pup, two figures rushed onto the mountain.

They were none other than the First Elder and the Second Elder of the sect who rushed off to the beast mountain upon learning about the evolution of the Lunar Moon Wolf pup.

"Greetings, First Elder."

"Greetings, Second Elder."

Since it was only a guest alchemist, Leo had to politely greet them because they were the high-level Golden Core Realm Cultivators who had the authority next to the sect leader.

"Guest Alchemist, why are you holding the pup?"

Looking at the little pup in Leo's arms, the second elder frowned as he asked.

"I heard that you gave a mid-level Moon Stone to the pup and helped it evolve. Don't tell me it acknowledged you as its master."

On the other hand, the First Elder was calm and composed as he could roughly guess what must have happened when his disciple rushed out of the Beast Graden to inform him about the evolution of the pup.

"What? He became the master of the evolved pup?"

The Second Elder was shocked as he looked at how comfortably that pup was settled into Leo's arms.

"Since the beastling has already settled its master, there is nothing we can do about it and follow the regular procedures."

The two elders didn't give any time for Leo to speak as one after another spoke.

It was mostly the First Elder who always maintained his cool as he explained to Leo about the regular procedure of taking a beastling away from the Beast Graden.

"Generally, the beast cubs or pups from the Beast Garden could only be taken away by the disciples of the Sect Leader and the Elders of the sect; however, since it had already acknowledged you as its master, you have to pay the same amount as those disciples."

"It is one million low-level Spirit Stones or 10,000 mid-level spirit stones. You can take away that beastling by paying for it. What do you say?"

The First Elder looked at Leo with a slight smile on his face.

"What? A 10000 mid-level spirit stones? Isn't that a little too much?"

Leo knew that he should not say such words; however, he could not help but say it out.

Generally, a regular rank 1 beastling could be bought at 100 low-level spirit stones whereas a regular rank 2 beastling could be bought for 1000-10000 low-level spirit stones.

Even though the beastling had undergone an evolution, the evolution was not a powerful one and it didn't make much changes to the pup.

Moreover, the reason why the beastling had undergone an evolution was him in the first place.

So, considering all these things, Leo felt that the price of one million low-level spirit stones for the beastling was very high.

"Too much you say? You are not even qualified to take away that beastling in the first place."

The second elder scoffed at Leo when he heard the question.

"I know you feel it was quite high; however, that's how the things work in the sect. If you don't want to buy it, then leave it. We can use it to breed some good Lunar Moon Spirit Wolves in the future."

The First Elder indirectly said that they were not forcing and there was an option for him to leave the beastling in the beast garden.

Even though the beastling has acknowledged a master and could not acknowledge a new master as long as the first master was alive, the First Elder informed Leo that they could use it for breeding more Lunar Moon Spirit Wolves.

In a way, the sect won't be losing anything.

"It's alright! I will buy it."

Hearing those words, Leo shook his head as he agreed to pay the money.

"Good. I know you are quite rich after selling off your disciple to the sect."

A while ago, Leo received 10,000 mid-level spirit stones and thus the First Elder and the Second Elder knew that Leo had enough spirit stones to buy the pup.

"Since the Second Elder is in charge of the Beast Mountain and the Beast Garden, you have to pay him the spirit stones and let him remove the seal on the pup. Only by doing so, you can bring the pup out of the beast garden."

The Beast Mountain has a special array around it and the moment any new beast is born, it naturally puts a seal that stops it from leaving the Beast Mountain.

The only way to bring them out of the beast mountain was by letting the second elder remove the seal from the beast's body.

And that's what the First Elder just said now to Leo.

"Here, you go, Second Elder."

Leo didn't think much as he directly gave the 10000 mid-level spirit stones that he received not long ago.

Even though Leo thought of merging 100 mid-level spirit stones into 10 high-level spirit stones before giving the Second Elder, he instantly rejected that thought.

It would only create a sensation in the Lunar Sect and he would be interrogated regarding the 100 high-level spirit stones.

Moreover, all his merged items have enhanced normal effects along with a special effect. So, it would create even more havoc and he would be targeted until he gave them a satisfactory answer.

Of course, Leo knew that it was not easy and at the same time, he didn't want to have any of those unnecessary troubles.

Therefore, he just gave the 10,000 mid-level spirit stones that he got from the Lunar Sect back to the sect.

'I thought I became rich; however, I became poor again.'

Leo was jokingly thinking to himself because, for him, 10,000 mid-level spirit stones were not a big number anymore.

'I can earn that much by refining the rank 2 pills for a few days and if I sell the mid-level Foundation Establishment Pills, I only need to sell nearly 35 of them which can be done with a single batch of pill refinement.'

Leo was not worried too much about the money as he already decided on how to make a huge amount of money while returning to the sect.

Soon, the process of removing the seal was completed as Leo left the Beast Garden along with the second elder.

Along the way, even though he saw some beastlings in the beast garden, Leo decided not to buy them because he didn't have any more spirit stones left with him.

Even though he has moonstones, Leo is not willing to use them to buy the beastlings or he still doesn't know whether he could buy them or not as he didn't dare to ask the grumpy second elder who already looks annoyed at Leo for buying his evolved beastling.

"You can attend the party tonight and leave the sect early in the morning along with one of our recruiting elders."

The first elder suggested Leo take a free ride with the recruiting elder who would be leaving the sect tomorrow.

"It's alright, First Elder. I will be going on my own as I have a few things to do along the way."

After saying that, Leo returned to his guest courtyard and started working on upgrading his [Fundamental Merge]
