Beast Tamer: I can extract blood

Is there enough training resources for 100 martial arts practitioners?
For Yunyan, there isn't much of it. This kind of low-level resource is worthless. Apart from being troublesome to collect, it's not worth mentioning.

However, for Dang Yue, it was quite a lot, but still within her psychological tolerance.

After all, Dang Yue had held the position of warehouse lord for hundreds of years, and the resources he had accumulated were an astronomical figure!
In most Dark Stars, the strongest are usually the Army Commanders, but Mountain City is different. The Warehouse Master's hidden strength is even greater than that of the Army Commanders.

Gladiator Arena Number One, Office.

Chen Jiuge used his divine sense to examine the spiritual materials in the storage ring, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

It's full of cultivation resources, and there are a hundred of each kind. The total value exceeds 100,000 coins. This is a great gift!

"Yunyan, what's wrong?"

Chen Jiuge was somewhat unsure about Yunyan's intentions.

"As a newly promoted Vajra, you need to recruit your own Dark Hand Guard. These resources are support from Dark Star!"

"support?"

Chen Jiuge found it strange, as he hadn't heard of this claim during the four months he had been in office.

"Fine, I'll just tell you the truth!"

Yunyan frowned and thought for a moment before deciding to be honest, since the time was almost up anyway.

"I am King Kong of Dark Star in Mountain City. Besides that, I also have another identity: Inspector of Dark Star Headquarters!"

"Dark Star Headquarters? Dark Star even has a headquarters?"

Chen Jiuge was stunned for a moment. Wasn't Dark Star just a money-making tool jointly created by many powerful forces?
"Of course Dark Star has a headquarters. You don't think Dark Star is just a cover for those big powers, do you?"

Yunyan patted her forehead speechlessly and said, "In the beginning, Dark Star was a simple personal organization. The first president of Dark Star was a powerful figure known as the Twilight Star."

"Due to the first president's powerful personal strength, Dark Star began a frenzied expansion."

"Because Dark Star is an underground force, where the lines between the legitimate and criminal worlds are blurred, the screening of personnel is not strict. As a result, many small forces have extended their reach into the organization, and the chairman is indiscriminate in his dealings with both the legitimate and criminal elements. As long as it helps Dark Star expand, he turns a blind eye!"

"After Dark Star had established a certain influence in most parts of the Twilight Realm, the Guild Master discovered that the once pure Dark Star had been mixed with countless members from other forces."

"So the president had a meeting with the high-ranking members of these major powers, which led to the Dark Star we know today."

"I see. So, what brings you here, Inspector?" Chen Jiuge asked cautiously.

"Of course, it's to send these good-for-nothings who only know how to make money back!"

Yunyan sneered, "The Dark Star is different now than before. These good-for-nothings are no longer worthy of occupying the position of Star Lord!"

"You are the one I chose."

"Huh, me?" Chen Jiuge pointed at himself in a daze. How could he be chosen with his cultivation level?

"Hehe, others may not know your background, but I have some guesses!"

Yunyan licked her rosy lips, a hint of danger flashing in her cold eyes: "You're not from the Underworld, are you? You must have smuggled yourself here!"

"A Level 5 citizen, and they even gave you a Twilight Manor as a bonus. Let me think about it."

"It was Qin Lin, wasn't it? The Qin Lin from the Ten Kings of Hell who claims to be fair in his dealings, he helped you smuggle yourself in, didn't he!"

"There's no need to deny it. I'm different from everyone else in this mountain city. Even the so-called strongest Wu family is just like a bunch of country bumpkins in my eyes. Just because they don't know doesn't mean I don't!"

"The inspector has a keen eye!" Chen Jiuge said with a wry smile, cupping his hands in greeting.

deny?

No, just like Yunyan said, if he really came from the so-called Dark Star Headquarters, then my denial would be meaningless, and I might as well just admit it.

At least for now, Yunyan definitely needs its own, so instead of being hesitant, it's better to be decisive.

"very good!"

Yunyan smiled slightly: "To have Qin Lin smuggle you over from the small world, you must have paid a hefty price!"

"At least in your world, you're not an ordinary person!"

Chen Jiuge gave an awkward smile, unsure of what to say.

"These resources were squeezed out of that old bastard Dang Yue!"

"That old man has been in Dark Star City for too long, and I don't know how much strength he's hiding."

Yunyan's face showed a hint of worry as she said, "The mountain city has always been under the control of Ruoshui. I'm worried that this old man has already sided with Ruoshui!"

"Although our Dark Star headquarters is not afraid of a mere Weak Water, the headquarters is too far from here, so we still need to be careful!"

"However, there just happens to be an opportunity for you to test the waters!"

"Chance?"

Chen Jiuge was somewhat confused, as he had not had any contact with any of the other Vajras apart from Yunyan.

"That's right, weren't you unwilling to take the blame and resorted to some underhanded tactics?"

"Although it was a small trick, it was very effective. Chongyun, that good-for-nothing, was furious, and he plans to give the No. 1 Arena to Dang Yue!"

"That old bastard Dang Yue has been eyeing this arena territory for a long time. This time, he has a legitimate reason to act, and someone else will take the blame. He won't miss this opportunity!"

"Then what should I do?"

Chen Jiuge felt somewhat helpless. He didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing at all, but it seemed that he couldn't avoid it now.

"I haven't even formed my own guards yet, and my cultivation level is low. If Dang Yue really attacks me, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop him!"

Chen Jiuge had only been in office for four months. Although he had managed to establish himself by relying on his powerful beast-taming abilities and some small perks, he actually didn't have many people he could trust.

Chen An, who was on the second basement level, was very dissatisfied with himself. Due to the rules of Dark Star, he had to maintain the operation of the arena according to his orders. However, this was only because no other Vajra intervened. If there were, Chen An would not have obeyed his orders.

And Hank, don't be fooled by his current respectful demeanor, which seems to impress you with his knowledge. Who knows if he's faking it? Even if he isn't, can he really keep the other beast tamers in check?
It's incredibly easy to cause trouble in the arena.

All you need to do is feed the beasts that enter the arena some forbidden potions at the start of the fight, and it's very difficult to prevent that.

"This is something you need to resolve. If you want something, you have to give something in return!"

"After all, I have other options besides you, and no matter what, you will be used as a scapegoat by Chongyun, or you will be completely devoured by Dangyue. On the contrary, you should thank me for giving you a chance!" Yunyan said calmly.

Although somewhat unconvinced, Chen Jiuge knew that what Yunyan said was true.

"I understand!"

"Well, I'll try my best to stall for time. Putting everything else aside, you should get your guards up and running first. If you don't even have the means to protect yourselves, they might resort to underhanded tactics."

"After all, your cultivation level is too weak. It wouldn't be too difficult to deal with you silently!"

"Alright, I've stayed long enough."

"Wait, you still haven't told me what you want me to do?"

Chen Jiuge called out to Yunyan, "She just said a lot, but nothing substantial came of it."

"You're too weak to do much. Just hold onto Arena Number One, or if you're capable, take over some other arenas!"

"Is that all?" Yunyan didn't reply. Chen Jiuge was too weak right now. If Chongyun hadn't lost his mind and listed Chen Jiuge as a Vajra, Yunyan wouldn't have even noticed this person.

Leaning lazily back in the leather chair, Chen Jiuge chuckled twice and said, "This is really interesting!"

"However, I'm not relying on any so-called guards!"

During his three months working at Arena No. 1, Chen Jiuge would extract nearly several hundred thousand yuan in profits each month, and by now he had embezzled about 1.2 million yuan.

"toot toot"

"Come in!"

Andrew bent down, smiling as he let the people behind him go first.

"Mr. Chen, these are the goods you ordered from our Red Spider Lily Merchants Association. Please check them!"

"You arrived so quickly, thank you!"

Chen Jiuge glanced at the spirit beast bag and storage bag with his divine sense, a satisfied smile appearing in his eyes.

"Very good, the item is correct!"

"Please sign, Mr. Chen!"

"it is good!"

After writing down their names, the guild members politely bowed and then took their leave.

"Andrew, I'll be going back to the mountain villa in a few days, so I'll leave this place to you!"

"Sir, don't worry, I'll handle it!"

"Yes, don't let me down!"

At Twilight Manor, Chen Jiuge dismissed the maids and instructed, "I need to go into seclusion for the next few days. Don't let anyone near me, including Xingxia and the others!"

"Yes, owner!"

"A level four ferocious beast, the Lightning Lion, along with matching spiritual materials and a level four beast-taming ring."

"Such a small amount of stuff actually cost me nearly two million of my savings. It's really expensive!"

Even if someone were rich, they wouldn't waste money like this!
Two million in earnings! If that money were used to hire level four guards, it would have taken almost ten years.

Release the Lightning Lion. Because of Chen Jiuge's special instructions, this Lightning Lion has been specially treated and will not wake up before being controlled by the Beast Taming Ring!
Its deep blue fur occasionally crackled with electricity, and even when it lay still, it exuded an aura of dominance.

However, what Chen Jiuge valued was not the domineering aura of the Lightning Lion, but its abilities.

The Lightning Lion's greatest feature is its speed. It is very fast because it can control lightning. The Lightning Lion's attack power is also not weak. Its only drawback is that it is relatively fragile.
However, Chen Jiuge already has a level four turtle dragon, so there's not much to worry about in terms of defense. What he lacks now is offensive capability.

"Once I form a contract with the Lightning Lion, I'll have two level-four ferocious beasts at my disposal, one for offense and one for defense. Even a level-five cultivator wouldn't be able to eliminate me silently!"

As for whether Dang Yue and the other level six cultivators would take action themselves, Chen Jiuge was not worried. An old guy who had held the Vajra position in Dark Star for hundreds of years was cautious to the bone. Even if there was a one percent chance of being exposed, Dang Yue would not take action himself!

Using the Beast Taming Ring is very simple; just drip the blood of the cultivator and the tamed beast together.

As the faint connection in his mind became clearer, Chen Jiuge breathed a sigh of relief. He had succeeded.

The contract was successful and the Lightning Lion awoke. Upon waking, he found a tiny creature in front of him, and his life and death were now in the hands of this little one. The Lightning Lion let out a roar.

However, the moment the thought of attacking him surfaced, the Beast Taming Ring deep within his soul suddenly contracted, and a sharp pain caused the Lightning Lion to collapse to the ground.

Although level four Yellow Springs ferocious beasts also lack intelligence, they are roughly equivalent to ordinary wild beasts, and are not as violent and irrational as lower-level ferocious beasts.

Ignoring the Lightning Lion roaring in pain on the ground, Chen Jiuge left the Turtle Dragon behind and said, "Keep an eye on it and don't let it leave the Beast Academy!"

"hold head high!"

The tortoise-dragon nodded, indicating that it understood.

Preparing a cultivation core for a level four ferocious beast is actually quite difficult.

Even with the help of the Chaos Pearl, it was still an extremely difficult task for Chen Jiuge, and it even required consuming some of the Chaos Pearl's original power.

After a full half-day, a deep blue Yuan Dan appeared in Chen Jiuge's palm.

"Such a waste!"

Chen Jiuge stood up somewhat weakly. It was only a level four Yuan Dan, and besides the nearly 500,000 yuan of nurturing spirit money, it also consumed several strands of chaotic origin power.

"From now on, unless it's an emergency, we will try not to breed level four ferocious beasts!"

Although it consumes a lot of energy, the effects of the Yuan Dan are also very obvious!
With the addition of the Chaos Pearl's essence, the Lightning Lion experienced a significant improvement in both strength and intelligence after consuming the Yuan Dan and evolving. Moreover, its affinity for itself increased dramatically.

"It's only been a day, no rush to go back!"

"I still have a level three Heavenly Spirit Pill, which should be enough for me to break through to level two Beast Tamer!"

While Chen Jiuge was in seclusion breaking through to the second level of cultivation, some unexpected events occurred at Arena Number One.

Andrew looked at the suddenly appearing scythe with surprise and asked, somewhat puzzled, "Scythe, weren't you in the warehouse? Why are you suddenly in the arena? Do you want to play a couple of rounds too?"

The scythe is a level four Dark Hand, and a level four assassin, making him far more powerful than Andrew.

However, the Dark Hands of the Logistics Department are quite wealthy and occasionally come to the arena to play a few rounds. Although it was Scythe's first time here, Andrew didn't find it strange.

Tall and thin, with a sickle-like shape resembling a sharp sword, he revealed a half-smile and said, "Yeah, I've been so bored lately. I just happened to hear that Arena Number One has opened up ferocious beast duels for Level 4 Beast Tamers, so I came to join in the fun."

"Haha, you have good taste!"

Just as the gladiatorial combat ended, the next match was to be played by a ferocious beast raised by a level four beast tamer who was keeping his identity a secret.

"Oh, what a coincidence! It seems you've come at just the right time, Sickle!"

"Yes, it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early!"

He casually placed a bet of several thousand coins on a sickle and watched the gladiator fight with a smile on his face.

The two ferocious beasts on the field were raised by a level four beast tamer and raised by Chen Jiuge himself.

Although both were only at the second level of cultivation, the intensity of their battle was comparable to that of a true third-level ferocious beast, making the atmosphere extremely exciting.

"boom"

As one of the ferocious beasts collapsed and could not get up, the host announced the winner.

The victor was none other than the ferocious beast that Chen Jiuge had raised.

Andrew chuckled and said, "Looks like Sickle, your luck isn't so good!"

"It's just for fun, and it's about time. I'll head back now and come again next time!"

He smiled as he handed the sickle away, but Andrew's face quickly darkened.

"Is this just for fun, or is it an order from the warehouse owner?"

"No, I have to inform the adults!"

Andrew knew he was just a small-time businessman with a bit of business acumen, and he couldn't handle this kind of unusual situation. (End of Chapter)
