Beastmaster: I'm really not a training master

Chapter 926 Xuanxue Clan

In the blink of an eye, the appointed time had arrived.

Li Qian is ready and will soon set off to leave Shazhou Beast Taming University.

This time, he only brought Fei Yue, the winged woman Wu You, and Teacher Ling with him.

Even Taihua wasn't brought.

In his view, given his identity and Xue Yuan's status within the Snow Clan, it was virtually impossible for him to encounter any danger on this trip to Snow City.

Even if some unexpected situations arise, with Teacher Ling there, they can handle it.

In fact, if it weren't for the trip to Snow City, which isn't very far from Tianyu City, he wouldn't have brought Wu You, the Winged Clan woman, with him.

Without using the teleportation array, Li Qian and Teacher Ling met Xue Yuan on the landing pad of the Sand Island Beast Taming University.

As for Feiyue and the winged woman Wu You, they obediently stayed in his beast-taming space.

"Why don't we just take the teleportation array to Snow City? That would be much faster." Seeing Li Qian's plan to take the airship directly to Snow City, Xue Yuan's pretty face showed a hint of confusion.

“My mode of transportation is a bit unusual; traveling by airship would be more suitable,” Li Qian explained casually.

He didn't explain things very clearly.

However, he believed that Xueyuan was intelligent enough to understand the key point.

Sure enough, after being stunned for a moment upon hearing Li Qian's words, the ice queen immediately realized what he meant.

"I understand." She nodded and then said no more.

Deep down, however, he was somewhat skeptical, feeling that the Sandbar Beast Taming University's excessive caution was a bit like seeing a snake in the shadows.

The spaceship took off, activated its stealth mode, and quickly changed direction, speeding towards the southeast.

Halfway there, inside the spaceship's cabin, Li Qian was dozing off with his eyes closed.

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"To be honest, among your many wives, Xue Yuan is indeed the most beautiful."

Within the beast-taming space she had created at the ancestral aperture between her eyebrows, Fei Yue uttered a slightly teasing voice, "Little Qianqian, aren't you really going to reconsider?"

"Once you miss this opportunity, you'll never have another one."

Upon hearing Fei Yue's words, Li Qian couldn't help but retort, "Mind your own business."

"You should focus more on your cultivation. If you continue to slack off, my spiritual power level will surpass yours."

Suddenly remembering something, he said jokingly, "By the way, you said Xueyuan's looks are comparable to or even surpass Wu You's, so why aren't you mentioned?"

Faced with Li Qian's question, Fei Yue blushed slightly, a rare occurrence for her. "What if I join you?"

"I think you're right, Xueyuan is indeed the most beautiful."

Upon hearing Fei Yue's words, a sly glint flashed in Li Qian's eyes.

Upon hearing this, Fei Yue's exotic and pretty face immediately fell. "Then why...why did you add me?"

"Because I don't want Wu You and the others to be at the bottom." Li Qian grinned.

Feiyue: “…”

Teacher Zero's No. 9 mechanical spaceship was extremely fast. It set off in the morning and arrived over Snow City in about two hours.

Looking at the city standing on the snowy plateau, Li Qian felt quite emotional.

This is his second time visiting Syracuse.

The first time was by detouring to Tianyu City.

The airship slowly descended and landed at the airship base in Snow City.

Because the Snow City Police Department had been notified in advance, Zero's No. 9 mechanical spaceship landed relatively smoothly.

After securing the No. 9 mechanical spaceship, the three of them walked away from the spaceship base in Snow City.

Snow City is located on the Tibetan Plateau and is the largest city in terms of area and population on the entire plateau.

"How many Snow Clan people are there here?" After leaving the airship base, Li Qian casually glanced around and soon saw that there were quite a few people coming and going in the streets and alleys, most of whom were Snow Clan people with white hair.

Faced with Li Qian's curious question, Xue Yuan didn't think much and answered directly: "The entire Snow City has a population of about three million, and nearly half of them are Snow Clan members."

"I see," Li Qian replied casually.

He was only a little curious about these things and had no intention of investigating them further.

The terrain of Snow City is actually somewhat similar to that of Sand Island City.

They are all built against the mountainside.

The entire city, like a radiant starlight, spread from the foot of the mountain to the middle of it, rising from low to high.

The airship base is located at the foot of the mountain, and Xue Yuan is leading them towards the mountainside.

As they walked towards the mountainside, Li Qian gazed at the distant scenery and remarked, "Although this snow city can't compare to other provincial capitals in size, its architectural style and cultural landscape are quite unique."

"If I have time in the future, I'd like to come here for a visit and stay longer; it would be very pleasant."

“Okay, then I’ll be your tour guide and show you all the beautiful scenery and delicious food in Snow City,” Xue Yuan immediately interjected.

Her face was full of eagerness.

Li Qian caught a glimpse of this scene and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

To be honest, Xue Yuan is indeed a great beauty, the kind that amazes a generation.

However, this girl is the daughter of the current Snow Clan Chief, and the karmic consequences involved are quite significant, so Li Qian does not want to have too much interaction with her.

"Then I'll have to trouble Xueyuan then." Li Qian said casually, clearly not intending to discuss the topic further.

Without pausing, he continued speaking, changing the subject, "By the way, what did you mean by 'Xuanxue Clan' earlier, and what is its relationship with your Snow Clan?"

"Aside from slightly different hair color and a few minor differences in body shape, the Snow Clan is actually no different from the Dongxia Clan."

"You can think of them as the Gaochang people, the Xiling people, the Shenfeng people... just ordinary humans."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "But the Xuanxue Clan is different. They are a truly special human race. Among the Snow Clan, the Xuanxue Clan makes up no more than one in a thousand."

"Let me put it this way, before, I was just a pure human being."

"After the bloodline reverted to its ancestral form, it automatically advanced to become the Xuanxue Clan."

Upon hearing this, Li Qian's face showed a look of sudden realization. "I see."

As they walked and talked, the three of them soon arrived at the mountainside.

The altitude here is very high, offering a panoramic view of almost the entire snow city.

Halfway up the mountain, terraced fields have been cleared out, and on these fields stand buildings that resemble pyramids.

This was the true settlement of the Snow Clan. As Li Qian walked across the terraced fields halfway up the Great Snow Mountain, looking at the rows of ice-cone-shaped buildings rising from the ground, a hint of surprise flashed across his face.

Such architecture is quite distinctive and can be considered a nice sight.

If I ever come here for tourism in the future, I will definitely have to check this place out.

As they traveled, amidst the astonished gazes of some Snow Clan members, they went straight to the highest level of the flat land.

There stands a building that is 100 meters tall, and it is also the tallest building on the entire hillside.

Looking at the several figures standing in front of the building, Li Qian couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Xue Yuan.

Xueyuan smiled and then walked straight ahead.

They reunited.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the round-faced middle-aged man walked towards Li Qian with a smile.

He looked at Li Qian, his tone very warm and familiar, "Professor Li Qian, hello, welcome to Snow City and to our Snow Clan's residence."

Xue Yuan turned her head, smiled sweetly, and echoed, "Professor Li, let me introduce you. This is my father."

The round-faced middle-aged man was all smiles, with a head of white hair that was neither too long nor too short, which made him look slightly odd.

However, she is quite approachable.

He has a friendly, approachable uncle vibe.

He introduced himself, and then steered the conversation toward Xue Yuan, “My name is Xue Feng, and I am the current patriarch of the Xue Clan. This girl is disobedient; she refuses to go to the Beast Taming University in Xue City, which is right in front of her, and insists on going to the Beast Taming University in Shazhou, which is thousands of miles away.”

He smiled wryly and glanced at Xue Yuan with affection, "I also have no way to deal with her."

Thus, Li Qian only glanced at the scene of fatherly love and filial piety, and then paid no more attention to it.

This matter has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't really care.

Xuefeng continued speaking without stopping, saying, "I'm sorry to trouble Professor Li to take good care of me during this time."

Upon hearing this, Li Qian felt that the Xuefeng Clan Chief might have misunderstood something, so he immediately clarified, "Um, Xuefeng Clan Chief, you may have misunderstood. Your daughter and I are just classmates. There's no question of me taking care of her."

He probably assumed that by agreeing to help, he had entered into a contract with Xue Yuan.

Unfortunately, this was nothing to be true.

He didn't delve into the matter further, but instead changed the subject, saying, "By the way, let's get back to the main topic."

He didn't waste any more time and directly raised his question, "There's one thing I'm very curious about. According to Xue Yuan, the number of people in the entire Snow Clan who have awakened the Xuanxue Clan bloodline is actually not very small. I'm very curious how they solved the problem of genetic defects?"

Xuefeng paused for a moment after hearing the question Li Qian raised.

After a moment, he finally spoke, his expression somewhat somber, "There are three methods. First, form a contract with a human beast tamer and use the feedback from the beast tamer's improvement to supplement yourself, which can delay the outbreak of the genetic disease to some extent."

Xuefeng spoke with a hint of helplessness in his voice.

Clearly, this method does not solve the fundamental problem.

It's only treating the symptoms, not the root cause.

After a pause, Xuefeng continued, offering another method: "Secondly, initiate evolution on its own."

Li Qian frowned slightly after hearing Xuefeng's words.

Self-evolution sounds impressive, but in reality, it is extremely dangerous.

One wrong move and you could fail, get injured, or even die.

As Li Qian thought this, Xue Feng's words soon confirmed his guess: "However, this kind of evolution is extremely dangerous, and the probability of failure is very high."

Nodding, Li Qian didn't say anything more, but continued to listen attentively.

"Finally, we need to activate the innate ability of ice transformation." Xuefeng glanced at the pyramid-shaped buildings around him, sighed deeply, and said the last method, "The body turns to ice, and is reborn from the ice."

His tone was full of sighs and complex emotions as he pointed out the problem with this solution: "This method has the biggest problem, because those who break through the ice and are reborn will lose their past and all their memories."

As they spoke, Xuefeng led Li Qian and the other man into the towering, pyramidal building that stood a hundred meters tall.

If this building appears tall and majestic from the outside, then its interior is dazzling and magnificent.

It is absolutely no less impressive than palaces and halls.

They arrived at a reception room in the rear hall.

Xuefeng waved.

Not far away, a beautiful snow girl immediately came over carrying a teapot.

After bringing over fruits and snacks and pouring Li Qian a cup of tea, the beautiful Xue ethnic girl finally withdrew.

Li Qian picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and then turned his gaze back to Xuefeng.

Upon seeing this, Xuefeng spoke up leisurely, continuing the previous topic, "Professor Li Qian, as a genius breeder who is one in a hundred years at Shazhou Beast Taming University, you should know that the evolution of special races of humans is different from that of pet beasts."

Seeing Li Qian nod, he sighed and explained the problem Xue Yuan was facing: "Because of huge individual differences, almost everyone's evolutionary path is slightly different, with subtle differences."

“It’s difficult to use a universal evolutionary approach. In this regard, we need experienced breeders like you to make adjustments.”

Li Qian was not surprised at all by this.

Humans, a special race, are like this.

Every individual's evolution requires a readjustment of the plan.

This is under the condition that there is a general solution; if there is no general solution, it would be even more outrageous.

Li Qian fell into deep thought after hearing Xuefeng's words.

He began to think.

After a moment, he made his request, "Show me your general evolutionary data."

Li Qian spoke these words calmly and unhurriedly, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Of course, this is easier said than done; in reality, it's not that simple.

This universal evolution scheme, while not directly applicable to the evolution of specific Xuanxue clan members, is the general outline for the evolution of all Xuanxue clan members.

It was precisely because Li Qian understood this that he realized how valuable this information was.

Therefore, Li Qian felt that he would not be surprised by any possible reaction from the Xuefeng clan chief.

Of course, if Chief Xuefeng really refuses to share this information, Li Qian will not hesitate to leave without a second thought.

In Li Qian's view, this is how things are all about hosting evolution.

If they cannot completely trust each other, he would rather back out early to avoid wasting time.
