Beast Tamer: I can extract blood

Making money is tempting, but Xingxia is no longer a naive newcomer.

I understand the principle that you may earn money but not live to spend it.

Buying spiritual materials from the Other Shore Flower Merchant Guild will prevent you from being ripped off, but it's easy for others to target you, and the profit you make won't be much!

Going to the underground black market, even if you buy in batches, is too risky. A level four spiritual master is a big shot in the mountain city, but he's not capable of keeping four million in cash.

"It seems there's only one option left!"

"Come in!"

Nicholas swirled the wine in his glass, looked at Xingxia wearing a half-mask, and chuckled, "Still wearing a mask? Your looks are a gift from heaven, and you're really wasting them."

Xingxia said coldly, "If I had Mr. Nicholas's status, I naturally wouldn't need a mask!"

"Want to reach my level of status? That's really not easy!"

Nicholas put down his wine glass and said with some doubt, "I remember you're still Mr. Chen's bodyguard, right? It's not a good habit to abandon your post!"

"Of course I know, this is also Mr. Chen's request!"

Xingxia placed the purchase list in her hand on the table in front of Nicholas.

"Ok?"

Looking at the list of spiritual materials, Nicholas looked puzzled: "Spiritual materials? Could it be that Mr. Chen wants these spiritual materials? There are quite a few, but they are only worth about 200,000 coins."

This list was reprinted by Xingxia, and it does not specify the exact quantity required.

"Starry Night Guardians, we are a guardian family, not a merchant guild. You should go to the Other Shore Flower Merchant Guild for this kind of thing!"

"What if we need twenty portions?" Xingxia said calmly.

"Boom!"

Nicholas stood up somewhat flusteredly, a slight blush appearing on his usually calm face: "Twenty portions?"

"That's right, Mr. Chen entrusted me with the procurement task. After all, I am a guard of the Guardian's House, and I would naturally think of my own people when there are benefits!"

"Haha, well done!"

"Wait a minute, I have a request!"

“Requests? No problem, as long as they’re not too unreasonable, I can agree!” Nicholas said with a smile.

The value of spiritual materials fluctuates greatly. The spiritual materials on the list are worth around 200,000 coins, but that is the price for purchasing through formal channels. For Nicholas, with his connections, he can acquire them for a maximum of 120,000 coins, with a profit of up to a million coins. This is not an unexpected windfall that can be ignored.

As a cultivator at the peak of the sixth level, Nicholas's assignment to the Guardian's House in the mountain city naturally had its own story, nothing more than being ostracized or something.

Mountain City is a small city, and the profits of the Guardians' House here are pitifully low. His own gray income is not enough to support his breakthrough to level seven. Nicholas must keep this windfall in his hands.

"You're exempt from three mandatory missions!"

“Impossible. I’m just a supervisor. This is my highest level of authority, at most once!” Nicholas refused without hesitation, and he wasn’t lying.

The overall strength of the Guardian House is not bad. Although it cannot compare with the miscellaneous Dark Stars, the Guardian House is a positive force with a good reputation in the Underworld, and its system is extremely strict.

The high-ranking guards of the Guardian House are mostly cultivators who have committed crimes, but not the most heinous ones. The Guardian House has to pay a price for protecting these cultivators, and one of the prices is the mandatory missions, which are simply borne by the cultivators themselves.

"Fine!"

Xingxia knew she was asking for too much, but being exempted from one mandatory task was already a great deal!

"Well, since you've agreed, let's talk about the spiritual materials!"

After a heated discussion, Nicholas sold the spiritual materials to Twilight Manor for 190,000 coins per cent, guaranteeing delivery within one day.

In this transaction, Nicholas earned at least 1.4 million in profit, Xingxia received 200,000 in profit plus the benefit of being exempt from a mandatory mission, and Chen Jiuge was able to obtain spiritual materials within a day, so it can be said that everyone was happy.

The only thing that might have been damaged was Chen Jiuge's wallet, but Chen Jiuge didn't care much about money; strength and safety were his top priorities.

After receiving the spiritual materials, Chen Jiuge began to prepare the Yuan Dan.

This time, the spiritual materials are not only used to enhance the Turtle Dragon and Lightning Lion, but also include the cultivation of the Rain Frog and the Mystic Altar.

There is a limit to the enhancement of level four ferocious beasts; they cannot be stacked infinitely.

the other side

Gongcheng summoned Ugly Ox and Black Moon to the dilapidated shack, his face grim, and said, "Shadow failed!"

"Mistaken? He's dead?" Black Moon frowned.

"That's right, he's dead. That old bastard Dang Yue's intelligence was inaccurate. If it was just a level four tortoise dragon, even if Shadow wasn't a match for it, he couldn't have fallen!"

"Could it be those level four guards? Mad Bear and Cold Serpent are quite strong, and with a level four mind master in addition, Shadow might indeed fail!"

"Impossible. Although I don't care whether the mission succeeds or not, I will still verify this basic information. When Shadow died, Mad Bear and Cold Serpent were both in the Crimson Colosseum."

"A mere turtle-dragon and a level four spiritualist couldn't possibly retain a shadow!"

Black Moon speculated, "Could it be that the target himself is hiding his strength, or that he hired more than just three level-four guards?"

"Hiding their strength is possible, but hiring three level-four guards is true. Nicholas loves to show off, and he was quite proud of himself for a while after hiring three level-four guards!"

“According to the rules, if the Shadow Mission fails, we need to perform two more stabbings. Which of you two will go?” Gongcheng looked at Heiyue.

Shadow is the strongest of the three, making a direct assassination attempt impossible.

Mountain City is a small place, and the assassination gang's power here is not strong. The only hope now is Black Moon. With Black Moon's appearance, as long as she sells a little bit of her body, there is still hope!

Black Moon felt a slight displeasure, but there was nothing she could do. As an assassin, she had to use all her advantages to achieve her goal.

"I try my best!"

"Okay, go ahead, but don't disappoint me. If you want to gain your freedom, you'd better not have a record of mission failure!" Miyagi warned.

"I see!"

As Black Moon's figure disappeared, a hint of worry appeared in Ugly Ox's eyes: "Teacher, is Black Moon really alright? Should I go help him?"

Gongcheng glared at the Ugly Ox: "You really think I'm your teacher? Don't go and get yourself killed!"

"Whether it's Shadow or Black Moon, neither of them has any hope of escaping the Assassination Society. Since you have inherited my mantle, there is a sliver of hope for you!"

"But."

"Hehe, you like Black Moon?" Miyagi said, getting straight to the point.

Looking at the stammering Ugly Ox, Gongcheng sighed and said, "We are assassins. Assassins with good looks like Black Moon are the most dangerous. If you are willing to be an assassin for the rest of your life, then go ahead!"

Ugly Ox hesitated for a moment, then sat down next to Miyagi somewhat discouraged: "Teacher, do I really have any hope?"

"Yes, you are my successor. I still have some connections within the organization. Although I can't grant you complete freedom, you can take over my position. Besides, I won't live much longer!"

Miyagi said calmly, "I damaged my foundation when I was young, but I probably still have about ten years left!"

"If you want to inherit my position, you must break through to level five within ten years. That's the minimum requirement!"

"I understand, teacher!"

Meanwhile, a special guest arrived at the Crimson Colosseum: a woman so beautiful that one couldn't take their eyes off her!
"Hey beautiful, how about we grab a drink? I'm...ahhh..."

Black Moon twisted off the hand that was trying to put its arm around her and said to the person who had rushed over from the arena, "I heard that the Beast Lord is forming a guard. I wonder if an outsider like me can join!" The person who came over was Andrew. Andrew, who was about to curse, almost choked on his breath when he heard Black Moon's words.

He smiled and cupped his hands in greeting to the beauty before him, saying, "Welcome, of course you're welcome, but joining the Beast Lord's guard is no easy feat!"

Is this enough?

The shadow of the black moon flickered, and the next moment countless shadowy blades aimed at Andrew's vital points.

"Gudong"

"Level 4 Shadow Mage!"

"That's enough, that's definitely enough!"

Andrew respectfully welcomed Black Moon into the arena, arranged a fine room for her, and then left.

"A level four shadow mage? Strange, why would someone like that choose to join Dark Star?"

Moreover, Black Moon's appearance is too stunning. Even if she has committed a crime, as long as she is willing, she has the protection of many important figures in the city. Why would she choose to join Dark Star?

"There's a problem, but that's not my concern. Just report the intelligence!"

Black Moon's defection naturally attracted the attention of others in Dark Star. The first to receive the news was not Star Lord Chongyun, but Warehouse Lord Dangyue.

"A level four shadow mage, and a great beauty at that. Interesting. Scythe, take some gifts and pay her a visit. It would be best if you could recruit her, but if not, forget it!"

"Yes!"

"A shadow sorcerer!"

A hint of longing appeared in Dang Yue's eyes, but now that he was older, he didn't have much interest in such a noble profession. All Dang Yue wanted now was to seek the position of Star Lord and use the authority of the Star Lord to exchange for the opportunity to break through to the seventh level.

Taking action against Chen Jiuge was only the first step, and because time was running out, the actions were inevitably rather rough.

"I can't rush, I can't rush, I can't let Chongyun see through me, this is my only chance!"

"Sorry, I refuse!"

Chen An stared at the closed door, his face turning pale and then flushed.

When Chen An heard that a level four Shadow Mage wanted to join Chen Jiuge, he couldn't sit still. A level four Shadow Mage! This was a rarer profession than his Frost Warrior, and both were level four.

If Chen Jiuge were to accept this cultivator, it would be uncertain whether he could keep his position. Shadow mages are far more suitable than frost warriors for guarding those ferocious beasts underground.

Upon receiving the news, Chen An rushed over. A level four shadow mage choosing to join Dark Star Vajra could only mean one thing: he had committed a crime, and it was no small matter.

Before meeting Hei Yue, Chen An was thinking of threatening her; after seeing Hei Yue, Chen An was determined to have this woman.

Then Chen An was ruthlessly humiliated by Hei Yue.

"hateful!"

Chen An slammed his fist against the wall, leaving a clear fist mark. Andrew, who had rushed over, exclaimed, "Captain Chen, damaging facilities is not a good thing!"

"Andrew, humph."

Watching Chen An leave with a cold snort, Andrew was speechless: "I really don't know why a squad leader who watches over ferocious beasts would have such a high opinion of himself."

Andrew really couldn't understand why Chen Jiuge, even with his low cultivation level, was still a Vajra, while Chen An was just a squad leader, and a marginal one at that. Why did he think he could fight against Vajra?

"They really won't give up until they've hit rock bottom! What a waste of such talent!"

If I had the cultivation of a level four Frost Warrior, how could I still be a mere steward? If I climbed a little higher, I should have no problem becoming the steward of ten arenas!

"Ah-ha" "Ah-ha"

A shirtless man carried bags of goods in and out of the warehouse.

"who?"

The guards in the shadows blocked Chen An's path, scrutinizing him sharply.

Having spent a long time on the second basement level, Chen An hadn't been to the surface for a long time. After enjoying this treatment for so many years, he was momentarily stunned and didn't know what to say.

The two Dark Hands in front of me are only at level three. Although they are not the lowest level among the Dark Hands, they are probably at the lowest level in the warehouse area.

"Chen An!"

"Chen An? What the hell?"

Both of the Dark Hands were newcomers and had never heard of this name before.

"Ahem, you may all step back!"

Sickle strode up to Chen An, his eyes filled with disdain, and said, "Chen An, you're the squad leader who watches over the ferocious beasts in the arena, right? What are you doing here?"

The disdainful look stung Chen An's fragile heart, and he said with a grim expression, "I want to see the warehouse owner!"

"To see the warehouse owner?"

"Heh, who do you think you are? Do you think you can just see the warehouse owner whenever you want?" Sickle waved his hand, trying to shoo him away.

"I've met that new shadow mage. I think the warehouse owner is also very interested in this information!"

"Oh?"

Sickle glanced at Chen An with some surprise. The warehouse owner was indeed interested in shadow mages, but that was all.

"Come with me!"

Everyone knew that the warehouse lord, Dang Yue, had a powerful force and a lot of wealth, but Dang Yue's office was very simple.

Some of the peeling paint on the walls looked patchy, with white and black areas, and the floor was also dark and unrecognizable.

Dang Yue revealed a kind old man's demeanor and said with a smile, "Chen An, captain of the Beast Team, I'm very curious, how did you know about the Shadow Mage!"

Chen An was somewhat uneasy and respectfully said, "Lord Warehouse Master, I met that Shadow Mage before I came here."

"Oh, you've met him before?"

Dang Yue's eyes were somewhat deep; this was not something a loyal subordinate should do.

"Yes, that shadow mage must have committed a crime, which is why she came to join our Dark Star. Moreover, her attitude is very firm; she is only willing to serve the Beast Lord."

"So?" Dang Yue asked casually. If Chen An was just spouting nonsense, then wasting her time would come at a price!

"Master Warehouse Owner, I wish to pledge my allegiance to you!"

Chen An felt a sharp pain in his senses and began to regret his recklessness.

"Interesting, you're going to pledge allegiance to me!"

Dang Yue stroked his chin and thought for a moment: "It's really a strange thing that the captain of the Beast Team has defected to me. I agree."

"Thank you very much, Master Warehouse!"

"Okay, you can go back now. I'll let you know if anything happens!"

"Yes, sir!" (End of chapter)
