"In that case, let's chat about the compensation matter." Song Shuhang sat down and tried to think of what he needed the most at this time. "Do you have spirit beast crystals?"
"Yes, yes. I have many of them," the stallion spirit replied hastily.
Other than being a stallion spirit, he was also a horse king. Aside from monster horses, there were also several horse, donkey, and camel-type spirit beasts under his command.
As the spirit beasts passed away, they left behind many spirit beast crystals. After all, one couldn't absorb the energy inside spirit beast crystals as they could do with spirit stones. Therefore, they accumulated little by little and piled up.
"Which types do you have?" Song Shuhang asked.
"I have horse, donkey, and camel-type spirit beast crystals. I only have these three types, but the quantity is very large," the stallion spirit said as he squeezed out a smile on his horse face.
"Then, give me a bunch of spirit beast crystals of each type," Song Shuhang said. He already had a horse-type spirit beast crystal, but he happened to lack the donkey and camel types. Anyway, the Whale Swallowing Technique wasn't limited to the thirty-three animals of the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Technique❯. Song Shuhang could make use of all types of spirit beast crystals and absorb them like spirit stones.
"Sure. I'll give you a bunch of each type." Although he didn't know how much Song Shuhang meant by 'a bunch', the stallion spirit had several of them in stock and could take out more than 200 spirit beast crystals of each type.
Of course, he wouldn't take out so many. At most, he would take out 100 of each type.
Although he could only pile up these things and appreciate them without being able to absorb them, they were still glistening crystals full of spiritual energy, very pleasing to the eye.
"It's settled then," Song Shuhang said and nodded.
The stallion spirit was dumbfounded. Soon after, he said excitedly, "Little Fellow Daoist, is that really enough as a compensation?"
"Yes, I only need spirit beast crystals, after all," Song Shuhang replied.
The eyes of the stallion spirit started to tear up as he said, "You're a really good person~"
"Hehe." Song Shuhang smiled shyly and said to Young Master Phoenix Slayer, "I'll leave the rest of this compensation matter to you, Senior Phoenix Slayer. After all, I'm not too knowledgeable when it comes to the treasures of the world of cultivators. Moreover, you're the one that captured the stallion spirit in the first place."
"Right, it's my turn now." Young Master Phoenix Slayer pushed his glasses up, and rays of wisdom were refracted from each of the lenses.
The stallion spirit immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Young Master Phoenix Slayer sat in front of the stallion spirit and stuck up his long legs, saying, "Do you have thousand mile fruits?"
The thousand mile fruit was a spirit fruit that could strengthen both the legs and footwork of a cultivator. It was something often associated to horse-type spirit and monster beasts.
"I have some," the stallion spirit replied. Thousand mile fruits were something very important for horse-type monster and spirit beasts!
"Give me a ton of them," Young Master Phoenix Slayer said as he pushed up his glasses.
"You might as well just kill me!" The stallion spirit gave Young Master Phoenix Slayer a supercilious look. What do you take thousand mile fruits for? Apples? Going as far as to use 'tons' to calculate the quantity...
Young Master Phoenix Slayer brandished the Monster Binding Chain and ruthlessly whipped the stallion spirit.
The stallion spirit continuously cried out in pain.
The corner of Song Shuhang's eyes twitched… he felt that Young Master Phoenix Slayer was just trying to find excuses to whip this stallion spirit.
"Ten fruits… I can give you ten fruits at most!" the stallion spirit shouted. "If you want more, you won't obtain them even if you kill me!"
Young Master Phoenix Slayer replied, "Alright, ten it is."
After saying this much, he turned his head toward Song Shuhang and said, "Ten thousand mile fruits, note it down. If you eat these fruits raw, they can strengthen your legs and sharply increase the efficacy of your footwork. At the time, we'll divide them half-and-half."
"Thank you, Senior." Song Shuhang took out his phone and noted everything down.
"Then, give me two of those horse dragon spirit beasts as well," Young Master Phoenix Slayer continued.
The stallion spirit clenched his teeth and said, "Fine."
"Moreover, they have to be completely white and not black or zebra-striped. If it's something you gave birth to, I'd feel disgusted by it," Young Master Phoenix Slayer added.
The stallion spirit clenched his teeth once more and squeezed out the word 'fine'.
Young Master Phoenix Slayer finally said, "Then, seeing your pitiful appearance, I don't think you have what other good things. Just give me 10,000 spirit stones of the Fifth Stage, and we can call it a day."
The stallion spirit gave Young Master Phoenix Slayer another supercilious look, looking the same as a dead salted fish. "Just take my life instead! I don't have spirit stones!"
The corner of Young Master Phoenix Slayer's eyes twitched. He picked up the Monster Binding Chain and whipped the stallion spirit again.
The stallion spirit called out in pain again and said, "I don't have spirit stones! Aaah~ I really don't have them! All the spirit stones we have are immediately used up! My clan is so big, we don't have extra spirit stones lying around!"
"You're even poorer than what I thought." Young Master Phoenix Slayer put away the Monster Binding Chain somewhat disgruntled and said, "Contact your subordinates and have them deliver the items to China's dock. At the time, we'll hand you over in exchange for the goods."
The stallion spirit clenched his teeth and said, "Give me back my phone, I'll return it after making the call."
Song Shuhang blinked his eyes… weren't the subordinates of the stallion spirit all horses? Except for the stallion spirit himself, none of them was at the Fifth Stage. So they couldn't assume human form, right?
How were they going to answer the phone? With their hooves?
"Alright, this stallion spirit has been taken care of," Young Master Phoenix Slayer said as he pointed his finger toward that man wearing black clothes that was continuously cursing. "How should we deal with that guy?"
Song Shuhang replied, "Let's send him to Medicine Master's place after we reach China. Afterward, we'll wait for Venerable White's return and let him deal with him."
"Medicine Master's place? Then, leave him to me. It just so happens that I have to make a trip there to ask Medicine Master to prepare me a medicinal pill," Young Master Phoenix Slayer said.
"In that case, I'll trouble Senior Phoenix Slayer!"
"You're welcome, it's really nothing." Young Master Phoenix Slayer pushed his glasses up, and his lenses refracted rays of death.
The man wearing black clothes felt a cold feeling spreading all over his body and immediately stopped cursing.

Two days later.
July 25th, Thursday.
Weather: Clear.
Dao name: Baijing Street's Traveling Sabersman.
Baijing Street's Traveling Sabersman was today's dao name.
Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman's luxurious cruise ship finally arrived at Shanghai City's dock.
At first, Song Shuhang thought of letting the cruise ship directly approach Wenzhou City's shore… but since the subordinates of the stallion spirit were in Shanghai City, they had no choice but to head there.
"We're back to China, we're finally back!" The passengers on the ship were extremely excited after getting back to China.
Some of them hugged each other and cried.
The nearby people shot weird looks at this group of passengers.
Afterward, they said goodbye to each other and dispersed.
They used all kinds of means of transportation and hastily left, returning home.
Gao Moumou, Tubo, and the others thought of going to the airport first to see if there was a flight they could take to go home.
"Shuhang, aren't you coming back with us?" Gao Moumou asked.
"I have to accompany my friend to a place and take care of a small matter. Everything is fine, you don't have to worry. Let's talk on the phone once we get back home," Song Shuhang said with a smile.
The nearby Young Master Phoenix Slayer gently smiled at Gao Moumou and the others.
"In that case, pay attention to your safety," Gao Moumou said as he waved his hand.
Since Song Shuhang still had some matters to take care of, Gao Moumou and the others headed toward the airport first.
❄️❄️❄️
Along the way, Gao Moumou asked, "Now then, who was that friend of Song Shuhang? Have any of you seen him before?"
Tubo replied, "I haven't seen him before. However, it seems that Song Shuhang befriended all kinds of people lately. Even the master of the island was his friend. I'm really curious as to how the two of them became friends."
Zhuge Yue said, "Didn't you feel that Song Shuhang's friend was very cute? I really wanted to pet him."
"..." Gao Moumou.
Tubo replied, "Cute? No, I don't think so."
He was completely unable to associate that man wearing eyeglasses and continuously refracting rays of wisdom with the word 'cute'.
"You guys don't know how to appreciate things! He was obviously very cute," Zhuge Yue muttered to herself.
❄️❄️❄️
Carrying the big delivery box on his shoulders, Sima Jiang said to Song Shuhang, "Shuhang, I also better get going. I have to contact the Fengshou Express Delivery and have this express delivery box delivered to the client."
Next to him were those two disciples of the Chu Family. They were also planning to head back together with Sima Jiang.
"Little Jiang, don't be impatient." Song Shuhang waved his hand and said, "Wait for me. I'm familiar with that old man from the Chu Family and just happen to need his help with something. We can proceed together in a little while, alright?"
"Sure." Sima Jiang nodded. If he could travel together with Song Shuhang, he could improve their friendship.
"In that case, wait here for a moment, Little Jiang. My friend and I are going to pick up a few things, and we'll set out as soon as we return," Song Shuhang said with a smile.
❄️❄️❄️
Song Shuhang and Young Master Phoenix Slayer entered one of the storehouses of the dock.
In there, several men wearing black suits and with cool expressions on their faces were defending the storehouse. It was already quite hot today, and after seeing their clothes, one felt even hotter.
"Eh? Those are humans!" Song Shuhang exclaimed. He thought that all the subordinates of the stallion spirit would be horses.
Young Master Phoenix Slayer lifted two of the big boxes and asked, "Is everything in there?"
"Yes, everything is in there. Please check the goods," the man in a black suit said as he opened several big boxes.
In the first batch were 300 spirit beast crystals of the horse, donkey, and camel types. All of them had been 'carefully' chosen and were spirit beast crystals produced by spirit beasts of the Second Stage rank.
Only the batch of camel-type spirit beast crystals had some crystals of the Third Stage rank. It was because the quantity of camel-type spirit beasts was scarce, and it was not possible to gather so many low-level crystals of the Second Stage rank. Therefore, they had no choice but to use precious spirit beast crystals of the Third Stage to make up the numbers.
Then, there was a small box that contained ten fist-sized golden-purple fruits that resembled green jujubes. These gadgets were precisely those thousand mile fruits. There was no need to refine them into medicinal pills, one would obtain the best results after eating them raw.
The last two boxes should contain those two horse dragons.
The two boxes weren't too big, and it didn't seem that they would be able to hold something of the size of a grown-up horse.
"Did that guy deliver us two foals?" Song Shuhang guessed. When the opposite party delivered them spirit beast crystals, they 'carefully' selected low-level crystals of the Second Stage rank.
Given his 'meticulous' nature, did that stallion spirit really give them two foals instead of horse dragons?
"If he really gave us two foals, I'll whip him to death," Young Master Phoenix Slayer sneered.
In the next moment, he opened the boxes.
As soon as he opened the box, the fishy smell of seawater blew in his face.
Young Master Phoenix Slayer pushed up his glasses, and rays of death flashed through his lenses. "Ah? Did he unexpectedly dare to play word games with me?"
Young Master Phoenix Slayer opened the box that he himself had brought here. Inside the box was the stallion spirit that was now tied up like a rice dumpling.
"Hmm, hmm, hmm!" the stallion spirit cried out.
Young Master Phoenix Slayer took out the Monster Binding Chain and ruthlessly whipped him...
"Aaaah~ so painful~ aaaah! Nooo~ aaaah~ stop~" the stallion spirit screamed in pain again and again.
