Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future

75 Searching For Materials

Looking at the treasury in front of him, Shen Fei suddenly had a thought.

‘Would the herbs I need to unlock my second talent be here?’

He had made several trips to the market before the banquet. However, the kind of herb that could unlock a second talent was extremely rare due to its other uses. Additionally, almost no one would choose to unlock a second talent. Thus, every time he went to the store, the staff would only tell him that there was none.

Shen Fei had originally made plans to go hunting in the wild… But if there was one here, it would save him a lot of trouble.

“Aloy, are there any herbs in your family’s treasury?”

“Herbs?” Aloy rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment. “There’s a big herb cabinet to the south of the treasury vault. There are many types of herbs inside. Maybe you can find what you want there. We’re on the east side right now, it’ll only take a few steps to get there.”

He had not expected there to really be any. Shen Fei nodded and immediately headed towards the south sided of the treasury.

“Speaking of which, what do you need medicinal herbs for?” Aloy followed him closely. “Your spirit beast is injured?”

Shen Fei shook his head. “That’s not it. I have another use for those herbs.”

After a few steps, the two of them came to a wall full of herb cabinets. A strong, bitter medicinal fragrance was radiating from the old herb cabinet. Shen Fei could not help but sniff.

As expected of the mayor’s collection, this rich smell indicated that the quality of the medicinal herbs stored inside was at least high-grade!

“Our family’s medicinal herbs are basically all piled up here. If you need anything, you can take it for yourself.” Aloy dragged a ladder from the side and placed it in front of the herb cabinet.

“Alright.” Shen Fei took the ladder and looked up to try and find the herbs he needed according to the recipe in his memory. “Fire copper grass… Paper money… Five-flame grain…”

Shen Fei climbed up the ladder and selected the herbs he needed.

“Do you need my help?” Aloy asked as she raised her head.

“Of course. Help me catch the herbs!” Shen Fei said as he took out the herbs in his hand and tossed them down.

The Little Bear immediately caught the medicinal herbs and wrapped them up carefully with a piece of paper. What it saw at the moment was also being transmitted to the study of the mayor’s mansion through another Little Bear.

“What does he want these herbs for?” The mayor looked at the image sent by the Little Bear in confusion.

“Looking at these herbs, I surmise that he should be trying to unlock his second talent.” The butler was bent over at the side, jotting down the list of items that Shen Fei had taken. “Young Master Shen intends to use these items to unlock his second talent. It’s not just these herbs. The two attribute enhancement stones at the door were also taken away by Young Master Shen.”

The mayor was silent for a while.

“Those medicinal ingredients that Shen Fei took, go back and add some more inside. If he says that he needs more of these herbs, you can buy more and stuff them into the warehouse.”

“As you command, Lord Mayor.” The butler nodded and took note of the mayor’s instructions.

‘Strange, what does Shen Fei want these herbs to unlock his second talent for?’ Although he had agreed to let Shen Fei continue being Aloy’s fiancé, the mayor still had many questions.

Whether the second talent could be unlocked smoothly often depended on the level of the initial talent. Essentially, only people with an initial talent above A-clcass could continue to unlock their second talent. Or rather, it was just that the success rate of unlocking it would be higher.

After all, there were many A-class people who could only have one talent their entire lives. This was something that could not be helped.

However, Shen Fei had only an F-class talent. The possibility of him unlocking a second talent was much lower than an A-class talent. What use did he have for these herbs?

The mayor frowned. No matter how he thought about it, he could not understand it.

‘Forget it, since it’s just these few herbs, Shen Fei can just take them!’

The mayor leaned back in his chair in relief. If he could really unlock his second talent with these herbs, it would be a good thing for the Gelin family. If he could not, he would at most lose some medicinal herbs.

“Master Edward, our family doesn’t have any ritual crystals. Would you like me to buy some now?”

The mayor calmly waved his hand. “There’s no rush. Whether he can unlock his second talent is another matter. In any case, in the entire history of Beastmasters, I’ve never seen anyone with an F-class talent unlock a second talent.”

It would be better to use the money to buy a ritual crystal to help him improve his strength.

“Use this money to send someone to buy some high-rank spirit fruits and store them in the warehouse for him to use!”

“As you wish, sir!” The butler nodded seriously and turned to leave.

…

Shen Fei looked at the pile of herbs and cultivation materials in front of him with satisfaction. This trip was quite fruitful.

The only thing left to awaken his second talent was the ritual crystal. Unfortunately, Aloy’s house did not have them.

Thinking of this, Shen Fei suddenly felt a little regretful, but it’ll be fine if he went back to the market to make up for it.

“It’s pretty late now, I’ll be leaving.” Shen Fei smiled at Aloy and turned to leave. “Can you get a few people to send these things to my house?”

“There’s no need to go through so much trouble.” Aloy shook her head. She took out a white jade ring from her pocket and handed it over to Shen Fei.

“This is a storage ring I found. Take it and use it. I remember that once this white jade ring is filled with something, a part of it will turn black. If it completely turns black, that means it’s full.”

“I understand.”

Shen Fei put the ring on his finger and touched the basket in front of him. In an instant, the material in front of him turned into a small black spot and fused into the white ring. Shen Fei looked at the ring with satisfaction. It seemed that there were quite a lot of things inside.

“I’ll be leaving now.”

Shen Fei waved his hand at Aloy, then turned around and left the mayor’s mansion.

…

Not long after, Shen Fei returned to the Shen family residence. Just as he opened the door, Shen Fei was instantly stunned by the scene in front of him.

The house that was once clean when he left was now a complete mess. Moreover, many things had inexplicably become full of knife marks.

‘What happened here?’ Shen Fei frowned and quickly ran to the cabinet where he stored his dowry.

When he opened the cabinet, the gold valuables were still in good condition. Shen Fei instantly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was no loss of property.

Shen Fei frowned. Looking at the furniture that was full of holes, he could not help but feel heartache. It was highly possible that everything in front of him was the doing of Aloy’s uncle, Lear.

It was probably after he left this place yesterday. That guy had come to his house of his own accord to look for him and Aloy. If he had not gone to the hotel with Aloy that night, he might have already met with an “accident.”

Thinking of this, Shen Fei wiped the sweat off his forehead with lingering fear. He could only say that it was a good thing that he had made the right decision last night.

However, this also reminded him…

Later on, he would have to reorganize this place after he unlocked his second talent. At the very least, he had to upgrade the security measures. It would save him from sneak attacks in the middle of the night!
