Beast Tamer: I can extract blood

Dong Qing was quick; she returned in less than an hour.

In the mountain city, there exists a business called the Red Spider Lily Merchant Guild. As you can tell from the name, it is a business that belongs only to the Red Spider Lily.

As one of the four major forces in the open, the Other Shore Flower is somewhat different from the other three forces. They are more enthusiastic about business, but their strength should not be underestimated.

The ability to protect one's interests from infringement by other forces is fundamentally proven by strength.

Chen Jiuge still had a guess in his heart: this other shore flower might be stronger than the Helpless One or the Three Lives Stone. As for the Ten Kings of Hell, Chen Jiuge was not sure.

After all, it's impossible to imagine just how strong the most powerful being on the surface, and even the force that bears the responsibility for the entire order of the Underworld, really is.

"My lord, here are the spiritual materials you need!"

Chen Jiuge glanced at it briefly and said with great satisfaction, "Very good!"

"If there are no problems, I will take my leave now!"

Dong Qing, seeing Chen Jiuge's excitement, said tactfully.

"Okay, go ahead and stand guard outside the door. No one is allowed to come in without my permission."

"Yes!"

"Clap"

The heavy door closed, and Chen Jiuge turned his gaze back to the Yellow Springs Beast: "Don't disappoint me too much on your first attempt!"

Unlike the cultivation methods used in previous worlds, the cultivation of ferocious beasts in the Underworld is completely different in terms of both the effects and methods.

These spiritual materials aren't just meant to be fed to these ferocious beasts; Chen Jiuge needs to carefully refine them. Otherwise, they'll be lucky if they don't die from the direct effects of the medicine, let alone molt.

Different worlds have different laws. Compared to the Heavenly Realm, the Yellow Springs Realm suppresses the Yellow Springs Realm in every aspect.

As one spiritual material after another was added, fine beads of sweat slowly appeared on Chen Jiuge's forehead.

Fortunately, Chen Jiuge's strong foundation made his magical power even more abundant than that of a normal first-level cultivator in the Yellow Springs Realm. After squeezing out the last bit of magical power, he barely managed to complete the final step.

"Hahaha"

Exhaling a deep breath, Chen Jiuge's legs went weak, and he sat down on the ground, somewhat disheveled, saying, "It was so difficult, but this can still be considered a second-level pill, right?"

The spiritual materials in the Yellow Springs Realm are also graded. Except for a few second-level materials, the spiritual materials used to cultivate ferocious beasts are all first-level. This led Chen Jiuge to misjudge that it was not too difficult. Who would have thought that he almost failed?

"Fortunately, it was a success. I hope the results won't disappoint me too much!"

Once outside the iron cage, looking at the ferocious beast whose body was suppressed and unable to move, constantly roaring violently at him, Chen Jiuge suddenly thought of a question.

"This ferocious beast has no intelligence; how can I control it?"

The previous methods of beast taming have failed in the Underworld and cannot be used to control the ferocious beasts there. In other words, even if I give the ferocious beasts in the Underworld pills to enhance their strength, I still cannot bring them under my control.

Chen Jiuge put the pills away again, regulated her breathing for a moment, and then turned and left the courtyard.

"Beast Taming Techniques?"

Xingxia said somewhat strangely.

“That’s right, I need a beast-taming technique!” Chen Jiuge said seriously.

Xingxia touched her chin, revealing a strange look on the upper half of her face hidden by the mask: "You want to walk the path of a beast tamer?"

"What's wrong?" Chen Jiuge suddenly had a bad feeling.

"I don't know why, but the ferocious beasts have no intelligence and are extremely violent. Although beast tamers mainly rely on their ability to control beasts, they cannot avoid being affected by the ferocious beasts' personalities."

"So, while beast tamers sound powerful and can control a large number of ferocious beasts, in reality, true beast tamers cannot control too many ferocious beasts because it would affect their sanity."

“Unless you control a spirit beast, or you have the ability to cleanse the ferocity of a beast, this is not a good choice,” Xingxia said meaningfully.

"Phew, I see."

Chen Jiuge breathed a sigh of relief: "This is my business. As your employer, it's not your concern!"

Xingxia looked at Chen Jiuge, who had forcefully interrupted her investigation, with some surprise: "Alright, you're right. I do have the techniques for Beast Tamers, but they're all ordinary ones. See if there's anything you need!"

Xingxia only provided three cultivation techniques. If it weren't for the abilities of a spiritual master, an ordinary level four cultivator wouldn't be able to produce so many techniques.

After careful selection, Chen Jiuge chose the most powerful cultivation technique, which was also the most expensive, costing a full three thousand coins.

Xingxia was in a great mood after earning an extra bit of money.

"This is the Nine Spirits Technique, which can contract up to nine ferocious beasts. To break this limit, you need to find a superior technique of the same origin. If you have enough money, the Other Shore Flower Merchant Guild is a good choice!"

"Thank you!"

Watching Chen Jiuge hurriedly leave with the cultivation manual, Xingxia's face showed a strange expression: "He has a lot of money, but he doesn't know much about cultivation. Although his daily life seems no different from that of a normal person, how can a rich person be normal!"

"Maybe."

At this moment, Xingxia felt like she had grasped something, but her mind was a complete mess. However, her ability as a spiritualist made Xingxia realize that Chen Jiuge was different from the others.

Back in the backyard, Chen Jiuge couldn't wait to open the Nine Spirits Manual.

The cultivation of the Nine Spirits Technique is very simple. You only need to use your magic power to draw the Nine Spirits Imprint in your mind to form a contract with a ferocious beast. One imprint is equivalent to one control slot.

Chen Jiuge was very familiar with beast-taming techniques. Even though the world was different, the underlying logic remained the same. Chen Jiuge was even more adept at outlining the Nine Spirit Marks.

In just over half a day, the first Nine Spirit Mark was completed.

Feeling the emptiness of his magical power, Chen Jiuge felt a little heavy-hearted.

According to the Nine Spirits Technique, those with outstanding talent can draw two Nine Spirits Marks at level one, while I can only draw one. This is thanks to my powerful control over my magical power.

In other words, for those Yellow Spring cultivators who have officially embarked on the path of cultivation, their foundation is not very good, and is even at a lower-middle level.

"What a terrible world!"

The native inhabitants of the Yellow Springs Realm can possess Level 1 strength as long as they grow up healthily. However, this only means that their physical strength has reached Level 1. Compared to those cultivators who formally cultivate techniques and have their own paths, the gap is still very large.

This explains why, even among those at the same level of cultivation, there are differences between ordinary people and cultivators.

"Let's see what's different about the ferocious beasts of the Underworld!"

"buzzing"

The Nine Spirits Mark flew out from the sea of ​​consciousness with the momentum of a mad bull, directly entering the depths of the ferocious beast's spirit.

"Roar"

Enveloped in the mark, Chen Jiuge listened to the various roars of beasts around him, as well as the undisguised malice. He exclaimed in his heart, "What a ferocious consciousness! It's simply a killing machine!"

Whether it was the Nine Spirits Mark being too domineering or Chen Jiuge's mental strength, honed through countless trials, being too powerful, the contract process went very smoothly. However, upon completion of the contract, the beast's feedback of its blood energy stirred a strong killing intent within Chen Jiuge, a feeling that made him want to destroy everything around him.

Forcibly suppressing the killing intent in his heart, Chen Jiuge said with some solemnity, "This is troublesome. It's just a level two ferocious beast, yet it almost destroyed my will."

If Xingxia were here, she would definitely curse and yell, "What kind of level one beast tamer would contract a level two ferocious beast!"

"However, according to the secret recipe given by the Chaos Pearl, the refined Yuan Dan can not only enhance the strength of ferocious beasts, but also weaken their savagery. I suppose that after cultivating it, its impact on me should be greatly reduced!"

Because of the contract, this ferocious beast that resembled a tiger did not roar at Chen Jiuge, and the bloodlust in its eyes seemed to have diminished considerably.

"Gudong"

After consuming the Yuan Dan, its body underwent a tremendous change, looking more like a yellow and black tiger. The bone spurs that were not typical of tigers, the single horn on its forehead that was only two fingers long, and all the other miscellaneous things on its body all fell off.

"Roar!"

The roar was still awe-inspiring, but it seemed to have lost some of its ferocity and gained some of its spirituality.

However, the effect of one Yuan Dan was still a bit lacking, only reducing some of the ferocity. But this allowed Chen Jiuge to better suppress the backlash from the contracted ferocious beast, and the renewed flow of blood energy further enhanced Chen Jiuge's physique.

"Although only the first Yuan Dan is the most effective, it doesn't mean that the others are useless. Perhaps I can continue to refine them and see their limits!"

A single spiritual material costs three thousand coins, which is very expensive, but necessary exploration and understanding are essential, and now is not the time to save money.

The stronger the altar, the greater the guarantee of one's safety.

Xuan Tan is the name of this fierce tiger, and it also represents Chen Jiuge's hope that it can become an existence that surpasses the Mountain Lord.

"Click"

The iron cage was opened, and Xuan Tan, having completed his own sublimation, walked out unhurriedly.

Its limbs, thicker than those of an average tiger, shook the dust with every step. Its prominent canines, resembling those of a saber-toothed tiger, emitted a chilling glint, and its blood-red eyes sent shivers down one's spine.

"Roar!"

Seemingly sensing the threat, the other two beasts in the iron cages let out a somewhat shrill and fearful roar.

"Roar!"

With a roar, the ferocious beast, known for its rage and disorder, actually felt fear.

"This power is truly terrifying!"

Xuan Tan's roar carried an indescribable power that struck the deepest recesses of the living beings' hearts; otherwise, these two ferocious beasts would not have behaved in this way.

"It seems that Yuan Dan is not as bad as I thought!"

"This is the ferocious beast you contracted?"

Xingxia, who had arrived at some point, looked at the altar beside Chen Jiuge with some surprise. Behind Xingxia was Dong Qing, whose serious expression had turned ashamed, seemingly embarrassed that he could not stop Xingxia's actions.

"Xingxia, what do you think?"

Chen Jiuge didn't care that his little secret had been discovered, because the Yellow Springs Realm was too big and had too many opportunities. Thousands of worlds were developed and plundered by the Yellow Springs Realm, and countless world origins were absorbed by the Yellow Springs Realm to strengthen itself.

In such a vast world, opportunities are not a rare thing.

"Although it is a level two ferocious beast, its strength is quite good among level two ferocious beasts. Although it cannot compare with the top ones, it is enough for you."

"However, I never expected that you, boss, could directly contract a level-two ferocious beast with only level-one cultivation!"

"If we were to sell them, how much could one fetch?" Chen Jiuge asked in a deep voice.

"If it were as ferocious as the boss, it would probably be worth a thousand coins!"

"A thousand coins?"

The price was somewhat beyond Chen Jiuge's expectations, but considering that as long as he had the means to control it, it would be equivalent to having the combat power of an additional level-two ferocious beast, the price, while not cheap, was not too expensive either.

If you're lucky, the profits from a level-two ferocious beast can be no less than a thousand coins.

"After all, it's inedible, only the beast core can be used, so this price is already quite good. Of course, if we can find some nobles who like to keep ferocious beasts in captivity, the price can be raised even higher!"

Xingxia walked into the courtyard, looked at the other two iron cages, and a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes: "Boss, did you breed these using wild beasts?"

"Chaotic beasts? You mean these?"

"That's right, chaotic beasts, the most chaotic and the least valuable ferocious beasts. Because they look like they've been stitched together by all sorts of random things, they are not only ugly, but also have very low intelligence, so chaotic beasts are extremely cheap."

Thinking about the potential profits, Xingxia said excitedly, "Boss, how much does it cost to raise a chaotic beast? If it's less than five hundred coins, this is a huge business!"

Chen Jiuge said somewhat helplessly, "I may have to disappoint you. The cost of cultivating a chaotic beast into a mystical altar is about three thousand two hundred coins, and that doesn't even include my own expenses."

Xingxia sighed with some disappointment: "Oh, that's a real pity!"

But thinking about it, it's understandable. It's already quite remarkable that a first-level beast tamer can cultivate a chaotic beast into a fierce tiger like the Xuan Tan. If they could also reduce costs, that would be unbelievable.

"However, it's not entirely without profit. If the boss can continue to increase the strength of the Xuantan, the arena would be a good place!"

"A gladiatorial arena? I've heard of it, but it's only for level two ferocious beasts. Is that alright?"

The Underworld was too powerful, which filled Chen Jiuge with insecurity.

Xingxia rolled her eyes and said, "The arena is very powerful, and many big shots are involved in it, but powerful ferocious beasts are not easy to capture. Relying solely on breeding them yourself and having hunting groups capture them not only requires a lot of effort, but also doesn't yield many ferocious beasts."

"In the mountain city, most beast tamers, regardless of their strength, will put the ferocious beasts they have raised into their cages to make money for themselves."

"That looks pretty good!" A glint of light flashed in Chen Jiuge's eyes.

"The amount of profit depends mainly on how powerful the ferocious beast is, since raising a ferocious beast is not cheap!"

"However, you've already signed a contract with this altar, so I suppose you won't be sending it to the arena!"

"Of course, there are still two chaotic beasts here, we can just nurture them again!" Chen Jiuge chuckled.

"Too."

"Once you're ready, I can take you to the arena!"

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome. I was just a little curious about you!"

"curious?"

Chen Jiuge shook his head helplessly. Sure enough, no matter how careful he was, they were from different worlds, and he was destined not to be able to fully integrate into the Yellow Springs Realm. It was normal for someone like Xingxia to see through his flaws.

"However, in name only, I am a true citizen of the Underworld, and even a Level 5 citizen." (End of Chapter)
