Chapter 530: Meeting Ying Gui (1/2)

At the same time, in these last 4 hours that he toured through the Holy city, Shun Long also learned about the existence of some cultivators who were called Beast Tamers.

Beast tamers could subdue beasts much easier than normal cultivators, and they could even tame those magic beasts much faster than them and even have them follow them into battles, earning the title of beast tamers.

Of course also knew that there were such people in the Night star continent as well, and even in the Desolate East, but they were so few and far between that he never paid any attention to them.

However, in the central region, beast tamers weren't any less important than alchemists or formation masters.

High-level beast tamers were actually treated with the same importance by the powerful families and clans as well as the other forces in the central region, that everyone longed to become a beast tamer as well.

However, although beast tamers enjoyed a high status, it wasn't easy for someone to join their ranks.

Every beast tamer needed to have extensive knowledge of the magic beasts they have to deal with, including the magic beasts' personality traits and how aggressive or docile the beasts were, their natural habitat that they preferred to live, as well as the internal structure of the magic beast and even the prey that they liked to hunt the most, as well as the natural enemies that the magic beasts had.

At the same time, although alchemists also needed to have extensive knowledge of the magic beasts as well, the difference between them and beast tamers was that alchemists also needed to learn the traits of countless medicinal herbs as well as have a powerful spiritual strength that allowed them to mix the ingredients together and concoct their pills.

In comparison, although beast tamers didn't need a powerful spiritual strength, they needed a high combat strength if they wanted to subdue a magic beast.

And yet, although being an alchemist was considered to be a lot harder than being a beast tamer due to the amount of knowledge that the alchemists needed to know, being a beast tamer and having to deal with terrifying and powerful magic beasts was more dangerous in the end, making both professions enjoy an extremely high status throughout the central region.

Thus, it was extremely common for powerful families and clans to vie with each other in order to obtain the favor of powerful alchemists, formation masters and beast tamers alike.

After arriving at the eastern part of the city, Shun Long noticed that even if the inns and the shops weren't as luxurious as the shops that were closer to the center, they didn't seem to have much fewer customers than the top shops.

Finally, an hour later, he stopped in front of the entrance of a medium-sized inn named 'Blue Heaven inn'.

Shun Long knew that he was supposed to meet merchant Ying Gui here today if he wanted to join his caravan and join the Holy sect's mission.

Before entering the inn, Shun Long first took out his sect identifying token and infused his qi inside it, immediately activating the 'Memory recording formation'.

Then, without any delay, he stepped past the inn's entrance and entered the inn.

A fat, middle-aged woman with her hair tied up in a bun approached Shun Long the moment that he entered the inn, and as soon as she spotted his yellow-colored robes which indicated that he was an outer disciple of the Holy sect, she smiled brightly before asking
