After further communication, Fang Yuan told Zhao Ren that he would think of a way to get the keratin crystals of the Titan bear.
As for how he met the Titan bear in the arcane realm of the back mountain, and how he failed to make a contract with it for the first time, he did not mention any of these things.
He only promised that he could provide this material regularly for him to formulate the evolution medicine.
After all, even if he already knew the formula, formulating the medicine was not something that could be done in one go. It needed to be polished and refined many times until the effects of the evolution medicine could be fully exerted.
Zhao Ren said that at the upcoming pet beast trade fair in Chuxin City, it was a good opportunity for Fang Yuan to get the monkey honey.
There would be all kinds of rare and exotic beasts, precious medicinal herbs, exquisite jewelry, expensive collectibles, and luxury goods.
Maybe someone would trade monkey honey there, and he was willing to go bankrupt to support Fang Yuan’s purchase.
He also promised Fang Yuan that once the evolution medicine was successfully formulated, the first bottle would be given to Fang Yuan.
In the future, if he still needed it, he could take as much as he wanted.
All of it would be provided free of charge.
…
Under Zhao Ren’s gratitude and Lin Bai’s dumbfounded eyes, Fang Yuan left the library.

Waving goodbye to the examinees who were still intense and nervous sitting for the exam, he prepared to head to the pet trade fair.

The pet trade fair was held at the largest sports ground in Chuxin City, the Chuxin Sports Ground.
On the day he headed to the sports ground, he once again met the two young masters from Class A, Li Yizheng and Wang Zijun.
Li Yizheng took the lead to wave his hand and came over to greet them. “Brother Yuan! Brother Yuan! Here, here! I knew you would come today, but I couldn’t find you anywhere.”
After the two previous battles, this young master of the Li family finally understood the difference between him and Fang Yuan. The difference was like heaven and earth.
Although Fang Yuan was born in a commoner’s family, and he was at a disadvantage compared to them, Li Yi Zheng did not dare to underestimate Fang Yuan’s potential.
Not to mention provoking him, which would be allowing slapping on his face. He would be asking for humiliation!
Li Yi Zheng was born in a merchant’s family, so he knew the principle of “If you can’t beat him, then join him”. Now, he was sincerely treated Fang Yuan as a brother.
He kept calling him Brother Yuan affectionately.
Fang Yuan said calmly, “You guys are here, too.”
Li Yizheng said, “The pet trade fair has sent out invitations to our families. We are here to see the world because of our parents. Unlike you, Brother Yuan, who relied on your real abilities…”
“I admit that I did ask my family to bring me here to take a look,” Wang Zijun said, “because you, Fang Yuan, are a rather challenging opponent. I definitely can not fall behind you by too much! I will definitely defeat you the next time!”
As expected, the ruthless words that he had let go previously was still engraved deeply in the mind of this young master of the Wang family.
He wanted to treat Fang Yuan as his lifelong enemy.
Fang Yuan did not care. He looked around and suddenly asked, “Speaking of which, where is my cheap brother-in-law?”
“Hahahaha.”
Li Yizheng laughed loudly. Wang Zijun could not help but laugh, too.
Then Li Yizheng shouted into the distance, “Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! Your brother-in-law is looking for you!”
Zhang Yu ran out from the crowd in a panic.
He covered Li Yizheng’s mouth.
“Lower your voice, lower your voice. My family is here today, and my sister is back from the garrison. Don’t f*cking shout.”
Li Yizheng struggled out with a laugh and knocked on Zhang Yu’s shoulder. “So, I heard that your family gave you 600,000 trading coins?”
Trading coins were the common currency in the pet trade fair.
Any transaction must be conducted through trading coins.
The value was equivalent to the value of the outside currency.
However, the difference was that trading coins could only be used in the trade fair. They were no longer effective after leaving the pet trade fair.
Just like when entering a casino, one needed to exchange cash for chips.
It was the same principle.
Zhang Yu scratched his head and said, “Uh… that’s true… wait, what are you guys trying to do?”
Li Yizheng said, “We’re all brothers. Let’s take out the trading coins and use them together. It’s not easy for us to have money now. It would be great if we could go to the trade fair together.”
Zhang Yu said, “Why? That’s mine! Even if we’re biological brothers, we still have to settle the score openly –”
Li Yizheng turned to look at Fang Yuan.
He interrupted Zhang Yu’s complaint. “Brother Yuan, where’s our sister-in-law? Since your brother-in-law isn’t willing to bring everyone to the trade fair, then let’s go find sister-in-law to bring us around.”
“…”
In an instant, Zhang Yu’s expression obviously changed. “I’ll go! I’ll go! Let’s go, this way!”
About Zhang Yu’s failure in the bet, naturally the matter of him losing the heart of the sea and his sister’s reputation to Fang Yuan had not been heard by Zhang Yu’s sister, Zhang Wanyue.
He had not told her family either.
Now that Li Yi was about to reveal about Zhang Yu’s bet, Zhang Yu quickly changed the topic and led everyone to the inner part of the fair.
The pet trade fair had a long history. It was held in different towns every year. This year, it was held in Chuxin City.
The rules in all aspects were the same as in previous years.
The trade fair was divided into three different venues. They were the rare-grade, the collection-grade, and the luxury-grade.
As the name implied, they corresponded to different trading items of different values.
The rare-grade venue corresponded to goods worth 500,000 trading coins to 5,000,000 trading coins.
The collection-grade venue corresponded to goods worth 5,000,000 trading coins to goods worth 50,000,000 trading coins.
The highest grade of luxury goods corresponded to goods worth more than fifty million trading coins. The value of goods was not capped.
For example, the highest single transaction in history had reached an astonishing three hundred million.
These young masters were born into the nobility. When they talked about the history of the industry, they naturally spoke with confidence.
They introduced some knowledge of the trade fair to Fang Yuan.
They walked to the rare-grade venue.
With only 600,000 trading coins in their hands, they could only go to this venue.
