Harribell was like a spring breeze, chatting with Yuna, Sofia and the rest the moment she saw them. After Alice heard the news and rushed over through the Magical Teleportation Formation, the ladies talked nonstop, as if they had a never-ending list of topics to talk about. It was only at the second day did Harribell find the time to discuss the current situation with Yang Ling.
Ever since Yang Ling fought back over a hundred Golden Giant Dragons, and news of Yang Ling being on good terms with the Chief Elder of the Troop Association Faern and the elder of the Elven Divine Temple Yakut spread out, the enemies of the Magical Beast Territory no longer caused any troubles.
On the continent, the battles between the Rossi Empire and the tribes on the plains had reached a stalemate, and it was rumored that the conflict between the Banto Empire and the Delar Empire had been alleviated. However, while it appeared to be a sea of calm in the continent on the surface, a storm was brewing in the shadows, with the various great factions actively procuring tactical supplies.

Yang Ling, after news of you building a city at Jaboli spread out, the various great factions have been observing you closely. In fact, there were rumors that they had already sent people to cause trouble here. You have to be careful.
Recalling the information her subordinates had found out for her, Harribell knit her brows,
If you are not confident, it might be better for you to recall your soldiers early. Do not exhaust too much of your strength here!

According to reliable sources of news, the foreign affairs minister of the Kaliya Duchy Grichie as well as the family behind him had not given up hope, still lusting over the rich resources of the Magical Beast Territory. The military minister of the Banto Empire Alfred was still harping over the revenge for his dead grandson.


After knowing that Yang Ling had brazenly decided to build a city in Jaboli, they had sensitively detected a great opportunity to cause trouble and make the Magical Beast Territory waste its resources in Jaboli. As long as Yang Ling suffered a heavy loss from the attacks of the Magical Beasts from the Amazon Forest, their opportunity to attack the mainland of the Magical Beast Territory would have arrived.

Hehe, they’re just a bunch of clowns, what should I be scared of?

Harribell was incredibly worried, but Yang Ling did not seem to care. In order to deal with the pirates and the Magical Beasts from the Amazon Forest, he had long set up a great deal of traps near Jaboli.
Of course, since the other party was always ready to attack the Magical Beast Territory, he did not have to show them any mercy. When the time was right, he did not mind launching a fatal counter attack, killing the detestable Grichie and Alfred, as well as uprooting the family behind them.
Seeing Yang Ling disregard the threats, Harribell shook her head, deliberating for a moment before saying,
That’s right, Yang Ling, those bats that can be used to scout roads, after the Beast Taming Ground of the Hunter Association trained them to maturity, could you first reserve a batch for me?

Thinking about the bats that could not only accurately detect hidden rocks and currents, but also detect how good the interior of weapons and buildings were, Harribell was also prepared to purchase a large batch of them. The businesses of the Boulade Association were varied, and obtaining a batch of trained bats would definitely bring about great benefits.

Hehe, no problem, I’ll give you however much you want!

Yang Ling smiled when he saw Harribell voluntarily bring up the topic of the bats. The Magical Beast Base within the Wizard Pagoda’s Space was getting more and more sophisticated. While it was still a little difficult to produce a batch of giant dragons, getting a horde of bats was not a problem for Yang Ling. After a moment’s deliberation, Yang Ling directly voiced out his idea of commodifying Magical Beasts, as well as turning them into pets and bringing them to the masses.
After her surprise, Harribell had a gleam in her eyes. As the person in charge of the Boulade Merchant Association, as a successful merchant, she saw a business opportunity with limitless potential. As long as they could sufficiently tap into the various abilities of the Magical Beasts, they would definitely be able to obtain rich rewards.

No problem, fifty-fifty split, the Magical Beast Territory will provide trained Magical Pets, and you can count on the Boulade Merchant Association for the sales aspect!
After deliberating for a moment, Harribell gave a decisive approval.



No, twenty-eighty split’s the best I can do. Also, the Boulade Merchant Association will not be the only association that the Magical Beast Territory works with. Of course, we should not give the outsiders too many benefits. The Boulade Merchant Association can have the priority in purchasing the rights to operate in the most prosperous regions!
Even though he had a good partnership with the Boulade Merchant Association, Yang Ling would never put all his eggs in one basket when it involves his core interest.

Forty-sixty split, I can’t go any lower. Also, I want the rights to operate in Montson, Bavaria, Mecca and Greenland.
Seeing that Yang Ling was as crafty as a fox, Harribell shook her head, directly voicing out her requests.
Over the years, business on the continent was getting harder and harder, the competition getting stiffer and profit margins getting smaller. In order to support the massive expenditure of her family, in order to let her father retire peacefully, she had always been incredibly worried even though she had not expressed it. How would she miss such a great opportunity now that she had encountered one?
Yang Ling needed another person to split the risk and provide a large amount of capital to kickstart the project, while Harribell needed another avenue for profit. It was a win-win situation for them!
After a series of negotiations, the two parties settled on a general direction and a few specific details. Then, Harribell seized the time and returned to Montson to deal with several matters, preparing for her plan to promote the idea in advance; Yang Ling gathered Sofia, Yuna, Goode, the Dogman Strategist Tanzimat to discuss the details of his plan. They then split up and dealt with the matters assigned to them.
Following this, Viola who was responsible for the general affairs of the Hunter Association led the hunters in capturing a large number of unique low-level Magical Beasts through the issuance of missions. Vampire Bats that could scout the roads ahead, furry Peaga Bears, Black-clawed Scorpions that could dig into underground mines… They were all sent to the Beast Taming Ground of the Hunter Association and tamed by the Sumeer Bolso and his men who were adept at the Soul of the Wild Beasts technique.
Relatively simple missions, generous rewards, points increasing each day…
Soon, the hunters were rushing about, capturing various low-level Magical Beasts from all over the place. They got so busy that they did not even have time to make merry at the bar. Not only would they receive a generous reward after completing a mission, the association would also increase their points in accordance to their contribution. They would get preferred treatment the more points they got.
Under the guidance of the association, a few of the more intelligent hunters would conduct some simple training on the Magical Beasts they captured before they sold it to the association. Not only would they obtain a greater reward, their skills when it came to training beasts also became more and more refined.
The association would be able to increase the speed of the training, as well as obtain even more hunters with experienced technical skills, making it a win-win situation.


The promise of generous rewards and a higher status motivated even more people to join the ranks of the hunters. Even a few nobles on the decline chose to join the Hunter Association, much less the troops. There was an endless stream of people registering at the Hunter Association every day, forming long lines.
Just like that, as their numbers increased, the influence and strength of the Hunter Association also increased! When the hunters roaming outside came back to hand over their missions, they brought with them information of various kinds, providing the Magical Beast Territory with a large amount of intelligence.
Even a low-level hunter under three stars had the ability to capture an average low-level Magical Beast, much less the high-level hunters. Whenever they encountered a creature that was harder to capture, they would quickly report it to the association and the Hunter Association would gather the elites for the mission; If the mission was still unable to be resolved, they would then report it to the Chief Elder that was Yang Ling and get him to capture the target with his Magical Beast Army.
A dozen days later, the Hunter Association had collected a substantial amount of low-level Magical Beasts of various kinds. The creatures were split into two groups, one sent to the Beast Taming Ground to be trained while the other was handed over to Yang Ling to enliven the Magical Beast Base within the Wizard Pagoda’s Space. When it was needed, he could easily summon them out or replenish the forces he expended.
As his Wizard Power got more and more powerful, as his mental energy got richer, the Wizard Pagoda’s Space became larger. The clear lake in the past had become a vast ocean, and with the Tree of Life at the center, the land had taken on the form of a little island that was like paradise.
The Arrow Bamboos that they had planted one at a time had become boundless, with no end in sight even after walking on foot for three full days. The large plain was vast beyond belief, the forest spanning tens of thousands of miles, with rivers of various sizes dotted all around…
Through their relentless efforts, the Magical Beast Base had finally been formed in the Wizard Pagoda’s Space, with countless plants and animals of every kind. Magical Beasts roamed around within the forest, forming a preliminary ecological chain, providing the Magical Beast Army with an endless supply of food.
According to the plan, the Boulade Merchant Association under Harribell had supplied the Magical Beast Territory with a large amount of capital to kickstart the project. Thus, the Hunter Association was not put under any stress even after purchasing such a substantial amount of Magical Beasts. On the contrary, they even managed to gain a sizeable income through the cut they got from the rewards of the hunters.
After sending over the first batch of Magical Pets, Harribell soon relayed a piece of good news!
The bats that had the unique ability were sold at a thousand five hundred Purple Crystal Coins each at an auction, while the fluffy Peaga Bears were snatched by the lonely noblewomen, each one of them selling for an exorbitant five thousand Purple Crystal Coins; The adorable Siberian Snow Rabbits gained an insane following amongst the teen nobles the moment they appeared…


Practical Magical Beasts, adorable Magical Pets…
Soon, the Magical Beast Territory once again caused an uproar within the Tailun Continent, while the opinions of hunters as an occupation were being shifted. Factions like the Livenza Alliance and the Rossi Empire that were on good terms with the Magical Beast Territory all publicly announced that they were welcoming of the Hunter Association if they wanted to build a branch on their soil. A greater commotion erupted after news of that spread out.
Many young people who originally had their sights set on becoming a high-level warrior or high-level Spellcaster opted to join the Hunter Association, hoping that they could one day become a powerful nine-star hunter.
Even later on, even a few of the nobles with potential chose to join the ranks of the hunters. To a few of the noble teens who had immense riches, status was a second consideration for them. What was more important to them was that they would have an opportunity to boast to the beautiful ladies every time they went into the forest to hunt. It would be even more beneficial if they were fortunate enough to capture a pet that the teenage girls liked.
In just a short span of a month, hunters had become a golden occupation that everyone on the continent strived for! Finding a suave, brave Magical Beast Hunter to be their partner became the first criteria in the hearts of several ladies.
