"This... well, okay then..."

The skinny youth was clearly still heartbroken about it. But since his older brother had made it clear, he could only bear the heartache and hand it over.

"Hahaha, that's settled then. When we become Beast Tamers of the Commander Level or even Monarch Level, and return to our home region, we'll be prominent figures! Now, what we need to think about is how to cultivate your Pet Beast when the time comes!"

"Hehe, I've already got a plan for cultivating my Flame Wolf. I just need to save up some more money. A new Evolutionary Body called the Ashen Wolf Lord appeared in Huaiyang Province before, and by then..."

However, just as the two were fantasizing about their bright future, at that very moment—

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

There was another knock on the door. The two men exchanged glances.

"Who is it?"

"Checking the water meter!"

"Huh? Alright, coming!"

The young man hurried to get up but was slapped back down by his older brother.

"Water meter, my foot! Who the hell checks water meters in a hotel!? Who are you, really?"

"I'm here to buy that thing you have."

The two were stunned for a moment before it dawned on them.

More business knocking on their door?

However, since this was the city center, they weren't particularly worried.

As for their dealings being exposed? What was there to expose? They hadn't broken any laws; it was a private transaction, purely voluntary! So, what was there to worry about?

Thus, the two directly opened the door, revealing beaming smiles.

"Please, come in, come in. Take a seat."

The youth grabbed a bottle of mineral water from nearby.

Su Ping glanced at the two men and smiled faintly.

His guess was correct; these two were indeed working together.

"Bring out the item!"

The two exchanged glances again. The burly man's eyelids twitched slightly. Then, a light flashed, and a large, yellow-spotted centipede materialized on him.

"Friend, this is the urban area of Magic Capital!"

Su Ping chuckled, "I never said I wouldn't pay. Regardless, I have to inspect the goods first, right?"

That sounded a bit odd, like an addict itching for a hit of some potent catnip?

The burly man scanned Su Ping from head to toe. This kid doesn't look old, probably hasn't even graduated yet.

So, after some thought, he said, "Kid, our item is worth tens of millions!"

Su Ping grinned and directly pulled something out. It was none other than what he mentally called his 'tycoon ID card'—the piece of Natural Essence Su Anyong had given him.

"Do you know what this is?"

Su Ping had figured out from eavesdropping earlier that these two were just a couple of country bumpkins who hadn't seen much of the world. If he hadn't already come all this way, Su Ping would have even considered turning around and leaving. What kind of quality goods could individuals of their caliber possess? But since he was already here...

As expected, the two men shook their heads.

"An Emperor Level lifeform's Wood Element resource: Natural Essence! It's priceless and rarely available!"

The two men's eyes bulged wide. Then their gazes locked firmly onto Su Ping.

This is a huge fat sheep! Damn it, Beast Tamers from Magic Capital really are naive and loaded with cash!

"Hehe, my apologies, my apologies! It was my mistake, little brother. You saw it just now, didn't you? Kiddo," he said to his actual younger brother, "quickly bring out the backup copy of the draft for this esteemed brother to inspect!"

A draft? Su Ping's mind stirred slightly.

The youth fumbled in a nearby briefcase and pulled out a wad of what looked like cheap toilet paper, from which he extracted a single sheet.

The sight made the corner of Su Ping's mouth twitch.

However, meeting the youth's somewhat embarrassed expression and the glare from the burly man, Su Ping still accepted it and began to read quietly.

The diagram wasn't particularly crude; at the very least, it was clearly laid out and organized.

Su Ping hadn't really paid it much mind initially. After all, given the attitude of these two characters, he hadn't expected it to be anything good.

However, the moment he laid eyes on it, Su Ping's eyes lit up.

This was because the largest design on this draft was an exceptionally unique figure. It resembled an ellipse. However, this ellipse extended in five directions, each marked by distinct, encompassing symbols and characters.

And this pattern, along with its symbols and characters, was something Su Ping, and indeed any Breeder or Beast Tamer, would be very familiar with. It was the foundation of the Elements, something known to everyone in the Dragon Nation.

These were the Five Elements!

Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth.

Su Ping had genuinely believed these two were just swindlers. But now it seemed that without some genuine skill, successfully pulling off such a deception would indeed be difficult. After all, Mechanists weren't fools who could be easily tricked and led by the nose. Judging by this draft alone, the other party indeed had what it took to fool people. In fact, from a certain perspective, it couldn't even be considered a deception!

The draft thoroughly analyzed and explained the principle of the generation cycle of the Five Elements. This was evident from the extensive general outline:

'Water generates Wood because water moistens and enables growth; thus, Water generates Wood.

Wood generates Fire because wood possesses warmth, and fire lies latent within it, emerging through friction; thus, Wood generates Fire.

Fire generates Earth...

Earth generates Gold...

Gold generates Water...'

Furthermore, it integrated this generation and restriction cycle of the Five Elements into the diagram itself.

'The attributes of the Five Elements govern the workings of Heaven and Earth. Therefore, the way of generation and restriction among the Five Elements can also be linked to the attributes of beasts; a single pull can affect the whole body. The Energy of the Five Elements, during its cyclical transformation, can be utilized by consistently applying the principle of generation and restriction.'

Ancient text? Su Ping raised an eyebrow. He then continued to read.

He was beginning to vaguely understand what this diagram was essentially about.
