The Master of Beasts

Chapter 1011 - 360:

"The Poisonous Flood Dragon Bloodline is quite ordinary, if you don’t like it, then forget it!"

Chen Jiuge said generously.

Leng She knelt on one knee, choking up a bit, "How could I disdain it, sir?"

"Alright, what’s the fuss about, if you don’t disdain it, then use it. But you’re crossing two levels of bloodline at once, are you sure you’re okay?" Chen Jiuge helped lift Leng She, expressing concern.

Leng She confidently said, "No problem, I’ve long been at Fourth Level Perfection, but I’ve been unable to get a better bloodline, which is why I’ve remained in this realm."

"Good, then hurry up and fuse it. You’ll be responsible for this Green Light Scorpion breeding farm in the future!"

"Yes, sir!"

Leng She straightforwardly took the Poisonous Flood Dragon Bloodline in front of Chen Jiuge and Gong Guang.

It was called a bloodline, but in fact, it wasn’t something indescribable; it was just a pill with a purple hue.

The position of Beast Warrior was created by a Great Power in the Dusk Realm and is still very young. Compared to other ancient professions, it’s just a staggering infant.

Cultivators who can refine a bloodline, remove the beastly nature of the fierce beast within, and retain the bloodline ability are called Bloodline Masters, which is an extremely rare profession. This also makes it difficult for Beast Warriors to improve their cultivation.

Low-level Beast Warriors might easily enter the profession, but advancing beyond Fourth Level is not easy, which relates to Bloodline Masters.

Just like Leng She, clearly a Fourth Level Beast Warrior, with considerable savings at hand, enough to buy a Poisonous Flood Dragon Bloodline worth just three million Life Money, yet progression remained out of reach.

There are many factors involved, one of which is the Bloodline Master. Handling a Sixth Level Fierce Beast Bloodline requires at least a Seventh Level Bloodline Master, whom Leng She cannot access.

As for purchasing from major commercial associations like Other Shore Flower, that’s simply impossible. Without a certain status, the association wouldn’t sell you this essential Bloodline Pill for Beast Warriors to improve their cultivation, which the big families use to nurture private slaves or for favors.

This time, getting the Poisonous Flood Dragon Bloodline Pill was due to Yun Yan making a call, otherwise, Chen Jiuge alone wouldn’t have the qualification.

Watching the chaotic and constantly rising aura of Leng She, Chen Jiuge thought to himself, "The Sixth Level Poisonous Flood Dragon Bloodline Pill can at least break Leng She’s cultivation through to the Fifth Level, and even be considered quite good within the Fifth Level. With enough resources and effort, breaking through to the Sixth Level is just a matter of time, managing a Green Light Scorpion breeding farm should be sufficient."

The transformation of a Beast Warrior doesn’t happen quickly, and Chen Jiuge wasn’t interested in watching continuously. He directly asked Gong Guang to act as protector, while he went to cultivate the Green Light Scorpions, aiming to make the breeding farm live up to its name sooner.

The attempt with the Green Light Scorpions made Chen Jiuge realize that Yun Yan valued his talent, but more importantly, how much profit his talent could bring.

Therefore, over the next few years, Chen Jiuge focused his Guardian Beast cultivation direction completely towards fierce beasts that could reap greater financial rewards.

As for the retrogressive fierce beasts, their frequency was greatly reduced, and no universally applicable cultivation formula appeared again.

This could be considered concealing his skills, yet Chen Jiuge’s self-concealment seemed incredible to many; especially given that he hailed from a mere Third Level small city, his surprising Fifth Level Citizen status in Mountain City was regarded as normal in the Dusk Main City.

.......

Seven years later

"Sssssss"

A bright green scorpion, the size of a little dog, quickly crawled over the muddy ground, its trace easily lost with the slightest oversight, causing a headache for attendants responsible for collecting the Green Light Scorpion’s venom.

Thinking of capturing it violently, considering how it would react when frightened and enraged, the attendant couldn’t help but shiver at the thought of turning into a puddle of goo and keeping company with the swamp at a young age.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk"

Holding a piece of slightly rotten beast meat in hand, beckoning to the Green Light Scorpion hiding under the Water Pattern Grass, making sounds akin to coaxing a little dog.

This was a newly matured Green Light Scorpion. During its youth, its kin had told it that whenever these bipeds made some strange noise, going over to them would result in receiving delicious food, just by giving away some ’drool’."

"Should I try it?"

After hesitating for a while, this young Green Light Scorpion couldn’t resist temptation any longer and stretched out its slender legs.

"Good, good!"

Attendant Xiao Guang cautiously fed the Green Light Scorpion some food, carefully gathering the drool, which was the Green Light Scorpion’s venom, as it ate.

As the most ordinary collector in the breeding farm, Xiao Guang had to collect at least a hundred milliliters of venom a day to earn a reward.

Whereas a normal Green Light Scorpion only yielded about ten milliliters of venom per meal, meaning that around ten Green Light Scorpions had to be served each day, which posed significant danger for a little cultivator like Xiao Guang with only Second Level Cultivation.

Though each collector had a Detoxification Pill at hand, it wasn’t free and couldn’t completely remove the toxins from the Green Light Scorpions, which would cause bodily harm.

After the Green Light Scorpion finished eating, watching it leave like a heartless man without a glance back, the alert in Xiao Guang’s eyes eased momentarily, revealing a slight smile — today’s target of one hundred milliliters was fulfilled!

The task of collecting Green Light Scorpion venom was dangerous, but it was cherished by Xiao Guang. As long as the workload was completed, the daily wage would be three Life Money; even if incomplete, one Life Money would still be given. However, too many incompletions would lead to dismissal — something Xiao Guang couldn’t accept!

The Dusk Main City is vast and prosperous; there’s practically no poverty in the Inner Circle, and life there is quite decent. To make the Inner Circle residents do this kind of collecting work without paying ten Life Money wouldn’t get anyone’s attention.

Especially as the number of Green Light Scorpions kept growing, the farm needed more collectors. To cut costs, Yun Congyi recruited specially from the Outer Circle, including Xiao Guang.

"Manager!" Xiao Guang respectfully handed the azure bottle in his hand to the cold-faced middle-aged man before him.

Inside the bottle was Green Light Scorpion’s venom, which Leng She knew all too well. He gently released a trace of aura to probe it, and upon confirming everything was fine, he immediately gave three Life Money.

"Thank you, sir!"

"Mm, keep it up!"

"Leng She, why handle such trivial matters yourself?"

A young voice came from the side. Leng She’s cold and arrogant expression melted instantly into a kind smile, "Sir, aren’t you visiting the farm today?"

"Well, no big deal, I’m just checking on the farm since the Green Light Scorpion breeding farm is considered one of Hundred Beasts Pavilion’s top profit-output points right now!" Chen Jiuge laughed.

"Sir, please!"

Aside, Xiao Guang, head lowered, sneaked a glance with his peripheral vision at Chen Jiuge not far away, a flash of gratitude appearing in his heart, "This is the lord who taught us the Poison Master profession? He seems so kind!"

Chen Jiuge naturally didn’t care about a collector’s thoughts; in seven years, his status in the Yun Family, and cultivation, had undergone a tremendous change.

The previously small-scale Hundred Beasts Pavilion, under Chen Jiuge’s super-strong Beast Taming Ability, had already grown into a medium-sized shop, with considerable fame for low-tier Fierce Beast Spiritual Materials.

The abundant and hearty Hundred Beasts Pavilion, who wouldn’t like it?

At least the restaurants, and some alchemists, artifact refiners, quite enjoyed it.

Of course, this rubbed some people the wrong way, especially the Yue Family!

Though the Chen Family was also a Guardian Beast family, they had achieved great success in beast taming long ago, and the low-tier fierce beasts nurtured by Chen Jiuge couldn’t shake their foundation, provided there’s no mass appearance of creatures like Blood Flood Dragons.

However, the Yue Family, only slightly involved in fierce beasts, suffered significant losses in recent years.

A large portion of the low-tier market share was snatched away by Hundred Beasts Pavilion, the Yue Family couldn’t compare to the Chen Family in high-tier fierce beasts, and though they have some symbolic beasts in the mid-tier, they couldn’t compete with the Blood Flood Dragon. In general, they were completely suppressed by Hundred Beasts Pavilion.

Other fierce beast shops might consider the Yue Family’s influence and give some face, but the Hundred Beasts Pavilion has the Yun Family backing it, even stronger than the Yue Family — no need to give any face.

This made the cultivator in charge of fierce beast business for the Yue Family quite resentful of Chen Jiuge, wishing to kill him directly.

"The scale of the Green Light Scorpion breeding farm has nearly reached its limit lately, but the venom of the Green Light Scorpion has multiple uses. Although not high grade, it yields substantial profits!"

"I discussed with the Chief Steward, and we’re planning to open another breeding farm!"
