The two intermediate-grade talismans had all been used up, and he was ready to restock.

He arrived at the familiar Bei Bing Talisman Shop.

” Bei Bing, here to buy talismans from you again!”

Qin Niu greeted the mute girl with a smile.

“Mmm!”

She seemed just as happy, using hand gestures and looking at Qin Niu with a smile on her face.

She remained as pure as ever, like the fresh and natural air of a serene valley, spotless.

Her shiny black eyes were without any impurities.

“Get me five intermediate-grade contractual talismans. Do you have any advanced contractual talismans?”

Qin Niu asked her.

The mute girl’s eyes widened in surprise upon hearing that he wanted five intermediate-grade contractual talismans in one go.

She remembered Qin Niu struggled to buy the low-grade contractual charms that cost one tael of silver each.

Now he was spending more lavishly each time.

“Why are you looking at me like that? If I’ve made money, I can obviously afford better things. Hurry up and get them for me, I still have other things to do after the purchase. If I can’t leave the city, I might just have to come here to stay overnight,” Qin Niu urged her.

“Mhm!”

She agreed and fetched five intermediate-grade contractual talismans for him.

Then, she took out a piece of cardboard, on which was written: Advanced contractual talismans, one hundred taels of silver each. Can be used to tame Grade Three or higher insects or beasts, success rate depends on specific circumstances.

“One hundred taels of silver each, not cheap, get me one,” Qin Niu decided to bite the bullet and buy one to keep on hand.

The intermediate-grade contractual talismans were quite effective for taming Grade Two insects.

As for the advanced contractual talismans, he had never tried them.

The description stated that they could be used to tame Grade Three or higher insects and beasts.

Given the steep price, Qin Niu would definitely use them cautiously.

“Can the advanced contractual talisman tame a Grade Four insect?” Qin Niu thought of the Corpse Bee.

That creature was disgusting, extremely vicious and sinister, but its combat power must be substantial.

Having night vision also greatly tempted Qin Niu.

Taming one to breed new bee species should be very beneficial.

The mute girl quickly scribbled on the paper with her charcoal pencil.

“In theory, advanced contractual talismans can tame insects, beasts, and birds of all grades, but the higher the grade of the insect, the more difficult the taming. The number of talismans needed will also increase, and there’s still a possibility of failure,” she wrote.

“So, what you’re saying is, advanced contractual talismans are the highest- level talismans available, right?” Qin Niu asked.

“Mhm.”

She nodded vigorously.

“Alright, hand me one,” Qin Niu took out a silver note worth one hundred and fifty taels.

This was a substantial amount of money.

However, compared to the beasts or beast pets under contract, this was only a small sum.

Becoming a powerful insect master or beast tamer was no easy feat.

It required not only a significant amount of silver money but also a massive amount of resources to constantly nurture pets and strengthen them. Luck and opportunity were also necessary.

“You can’t even ask for two!”

She playfully wrote down a sentence with a smile.

Qin Niu smiled wryly too, seeing that the production of advanced contractual talismans was extremely difficult and that the Bei Bing Talisman Shop didn’t have much in stock.

“This talisman can be kept for a long time, right?”

“Mhm!”

Again she nodded.

Reassured, he bought one advanced contractual talisman. Judging by the material, it wasn’t made of animal skin, but somewhat resembled leaves or bark.

It showed a flicker of green light, immediately indicating its extraordinary nature.

Moreover, holding it in his hand, one felt an unsettling sensation; the invisible energy or aura it emitted seemed as though it could stir one’s soul.

“When using it to tame a beast pet, try to avoid taking it out too early. It’s best to trap the beast first and then use the talisman,”
