Beast Tamer: I can extract blood

The Underworld is vast and absorbs the world origins of countless smaller worlds, making the path of cultivation in the Underworld extremely complex!

Chen Jiuge's Beastmaster class and Chen An's Frost Warrior class are clearly not in the same style, but they appear in the same world.

Those who have the means will generally choose a cultivation profession with a broader path ahead, hoping to reach a higher level.

The profession that Dang Yue cultivates is called the Path of Flesh and Blood. It is a blood and qi profession similar to that of a martial artist. However, the Path of Flesh and Blood focuses more on strengthening one's own flesh and blood, rather than pursuing the sublimation of skills like a martial artist.

"You've chosen the path of flesh and blood. Aside from the proper path of cultivation breakthroughs, there are other paths you can take!"

"First, Beast Warrior!"

Yunyan tapped the table and said, "Although the highest level for a Beast Warrior is only level nine, it's enough for you. You probably haven't been thinking about transcending that, have you?"

Dang Yue shook her head repeatedly and said, "I have ambitions, but I'm not so presumptuous as to overestimate myself."

"That's good!" Yunyan was afraid that Dang Yue was someone who couldn't see reality.

"I know a wicked doctor with powerful modification abilities. As long as you have the bloodline of a high-level ferocious beast, it won't be difficult for him to help you break through to the seventh level of beast warrior!"

"But you also said that it requires a high-level ferocious beast bloodline. Do you think that's something we can only dream of?"

Dang Yue was somewhat agitated. The Beast Warrior had indeed considered this, but without a reliable evil doctor and a powerful beast bloodline, this path was simply unsolvable for Dang Yue.

"That's your problem. I'm already being very generous by providing you with a wicked doctor!"

Dang Yue knew this was Yunyan's limit, but she couldn't accept this condition because she couldn't obtain a high-level bloodline beast!

Don't be fooled by the fact that ferocious beasts seem worthless. That's because they're low-level. Once a ferocious beast reaches level four, its value skyrockets. The higher the level, the higher the price. You can see this from the level four beast control rings sold by the Other Shore Flower Merchant Guild. The mere skill of controlling a level four ferocious beast actually sold for a million!

"No, I can't obtain the bloodline of a high-level ferocious beast!"

"Wait, I can provide that!"

Chen Jiuge suddenly spoke up.

"You?" A hint of disdain flashed in Dang Yue's eyes. What big talk did a mere level two beast tamer have?

"I wonder how these two ferocious beasts I've raised are doing?"

Chen Jiuge took the two little guys off her shoulder and placed them on the table.

"Lightning Lion, Tortoise Dragon? Merely level four?"

"Wait, something's wrong with this bloodline strength!"

"Although it's only a level four ferocious beast, its bloodline strength is already comparable to that of a level six ferocious beast. How did you do that?" Dang Yue asked incredulously.

Although it doesn't yet meet his minimum standards, this undoubtedly proves Chen Jiuge's powerful beast-taming ability!
"Although your abilities have exceeded my expectations, my time is limited. At most, I will reach the end of my lifespan in twenty years. The resources I have will only allow me to maintain my peak performance for another ten years at most. What a pity!"

"Ten years?" Yunyan frowned slightly. This time was indeed a bit short. Perhaps Chen Jiuge's cultivation level was too low. Ten years would be the most it could give him to break through to the fourth level. It seemed that it was still too late.

Although Chen Jiuge knew that he could cultivate a more powerful beast bloodline with some effort, Dang Yue was not his friend. On the contrary, the two had a certain grudge, so he naturally wouldn't say anything.

“Then let’s take another route!” Yunyan immediately suggested.

"Another path?" Dang Yue asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Many cultivators who follow the path of flesh and blood will switch to the path of mechanics when they feel they can no longer break through to the seventh level. Although the strength they gain by breaking through to the seventh level in this way is not strong, and it is even extremely difficult to break through to the eighth level, it is the easiest path to succeed!"

"You mean becoming a cybernetic engineer?" Dang Yue asked in surprise.

"That's right, there should be quite a few cyborgs in Los Angeles now, you should know that!"

"I don't know much, but as far as I know, the strongest cybernetic user in Los Angeles is only at the fourth level of cultivation!"

"That's because these modified individuals lack sufficient cultivation and physical strength. Moreover, Luo City is just a small place, so naturally, there won't be any overly powerful cybernetic modified individuals here!"

"In the central area where the headquarters is located, the cybernetic modification group has long since developed into a major force!"

"If you're willing, I can help you make the connections, but you'll have to provide the resources needed for the renovations yourself. I'll only be responsible for making the connections!"

"Are you sure you can break through to level seven?" Dang Yue asked, somewhat tempted.

"It's only level seven. You are a flesh and blood cultivator with a strong physical body, so you can accept a higher degree of prosthetic modification. As long as you are willing to spend money, it is definitely not a problem to directly transform into a level seven cultivator in one go. However, if you want to improve to level eight in the future, it will be very difficult!"

"And the renovation is very, very expensive!"

"I need to think about it!"

"Consider? I'm not here for you to consider. I came here in person and I need an answer!"

"Either agree or refuse. I don't have time to waste here. This mere mountain city of Dark Star has wasted three years of my life. If it weren't for headquarters' requirement to proceed step by step, and if the rewards for this mission weren't so valuable to me, I would never have come to such a small place!"

"Agree or refuse!"

Faced with Yunyan's aggressive questioning, Dang Yue hesitated for a moment and said, "I agree, but I can still maintain my peak performance for another ten years. I should still be able to try the first option!"

Looking at Dang Yue, who was focusing her gaze on her, Chen Jiuge said helplessly, "Warehouse Master, are you planning to place your hopes on me?"

"That's right, you have great talent. It was my mistake to send someone to assassinate you before, and I'm willing to pay the price for it. In addition, I can help you take control of the entire arena, and I will also provide you with strong support in terms of your future training resources!"

"But I don't know if I can succeed. Cultivating high-level ferocious beast bloodlines isn't easy!" Chen Jiuge said with a wry smile.

"Don't worry, even if you fail, I won't make things difficult for you. After all, Miss Yun gave me another way, didn't she?"

"Okay, that's settled then. But once things are over here, Chen Jiuge will leave with me, and you'll come with me too. Neither the evil doctor I know nor the cybernetic modifications are things that Shancheng can do!"

"I see!"

"very good!"

When Chen Jiuge returned to the arena, he was still a little confused. Dang Yue had actually been persuaded by Yunyan without even having any doubts. It was truly speechless!
If Dang Yue knew what Chen Jiuge was thinking, she would definitely curse him out, "You little brat, do you even know how strong Dark Star is? How deep is Dark Star's foundation?!"

The founder of Dark Star, who is still alive, is one of the most powerful figures in the entire Underworld. No matter how many lives he has, he wouldn't be enough to kill someone who impersonates an inspector from Dark Star headquarters!
"But this is not bad either, at least I feel much more relaxed now!"

"Next, we need to train our team and improve their cultivation as soon as possible. I also need to study the ferocious beasts of the Yellow Springs Realm carefully. In the past, we just trained them in a superficial way without really understanding them, which was a huge waste!"

"And the Party Month."

Out of respect for Yunyan, Chen Jiuge agreed to help Dang Yue cultivate a high-level ferocious beast bloodline, but he would definitely not go all out, after all, Dang Yue had offered a bounty on him.

"Master Beast, the Warehouse Master has sent over some things!"

Taking the storage ring, Chen Jiuge probed it briefly with his divine sense and couldn't help but gasp. "This...this...so many resources, it must be worth at least a million in earnings!"

"Just how wealthy is this old man?!"

"Looking at it this way, it's not a bad idea to get on a slightly better side with Dang Yue. I'm not a petty person!"

However, only a small portion of the resources sent by Dang Yue were for cultivation; most of them were spiritual materials for cultivating ferocious beasts. This was normal, since Dang Yue needed high-level ferocious beast bloodlines.

Chen Jiuge is only at the second level of cultivation, yet he can cultivate such a powerful ferocious beast. If he were to advance another level, he might be able to cultivate the bloodline of a high-level ferocious beast.

Moreover, there were conflicts between the two, and Dang Yue was also worried that Chen Jiuge's cultivation level was improving too quickly and would cause trouble for her.

For the next three months, the entire Dark Star remained very quiet.

With the help of Dang Yue, all ten arenas were successfully brought into Chen Jiuge's hands.

Having lost the arena as a vital source of revenue, Chongyun has become increasingly irritable lately.

"Pili Bala"

At the top floor of the Drunken Dream Palace, Chongyun smashed the communicator in his hand, veins bulging on his forehead, and a strong malice appeared in his eyes: "A mere second-level cultivator dares to do this!"

"call"

Taking a deep breath, Chongyun straightened his clothes and left the building, arriving at a relatively quiet courtyard.

Besides Chongyun, no one else could build a quiet, retro-style mansion in the chaotic region of Dark Star.

"Yah"

"Master, you're back?"

The gatekeeper bowed his head respectfully.

"Hmm, Lao Zhang, nothing much going on lately, right?"

"It's nothing, it's just that the Second Madam wanted to go to Xinggu for sightseeing, but I stopped her as instructed by the Master!"

"Good job! At this time, no one is allowed to go out!"

Upon arriving at the study, Chongyun stood before a life-sized mural hanging in front of him. He reached out and gently pressed a nearby mural, which quickly disappeared, revealing a dark, secluded path.

"Tap Tap"

The crisp sound of footsteps echoed in the path. In this secluded environment, it was truly unsettling. Even though Chongyun was extremely familiar with this place, he still felt goosebumps all over his body.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, after turning a corner, the dazzling lights made Chongyun's pupils shrink involuntarily.

One by one, the hideous abyssal creatures were hoisted up by iron hooks and bound by chains as thick as fingers. Upon sensing the presence of living people, these abyssal creatures let out a series of roars.

Chongyun sneered, "A bunch of beasts!"

With a snap of his fingers, golden light appeared on the chains, and the abyssal creatures let out miserable cries.

"Why are you so angry!"

A hoarse voice came from another direction.

This was an extremely tall old man, standing three meters tall. His bare upper body was covered in bulging muscles, and his forehead even had a third eye that was constantly twisting and chattering.

"I need you to do something for me?"

"Let me help you?"

The old man seemed somewhat surprised. He was someone who was not allowed to exist in the Underworld. When Chongyun became the Dark Star Lord, he encountered many life-or-death crises, but he was not asked to take action.

"You didn't dare ask me to take action even when it was this dangerous before, but now that you've been in the position of Star Lord for so many years, is there still any danger?"

"Hmph, you old codger, although you've been staying in the basement, you must know what's going on outside. How long do you think I can stay as the Star Lord?" Chongyun said with dissatisfaction.

To be honest, if it weren't for the old man's existence, I wouldn't have been so greedy. It would have been the right path to slowly advance and break through to the seventh level of cultivation. Unfortunately, without the old man, I wouldn't have been able to become a member of Weak Water, nor would I have been able to become a Star Lord.

"quack"

The old man let out a crow-like laugh: "I told you, that woman is trouble!"

"How did I know that a small place like Shancheng would have headquarters inspectors coming here!" Chongyun said with a gloomy face.

"If you had listened to me and let me kill that Dang Yue directly, you would have had all the resources you needed long ago, instead of all this trouble!" The old man seemed to look down on Chongyun's hesitant manner.

"So you need me to kill that one now?"

The old man understood that Chongyun was now driven to a dead end.

To break through to level seven, Chongyun needs to rely on the power of Dark Star. The breakthrough resources Chongyun requested will take another month to arrive from headquarters. If nothing unexpected happens, the resources will arrive with the headquarters' law enforcement members.

Let alone whether there's a chance to use these resources to break through to level seven, it's not even certain whether we can survive!
To break this deadlock, Chongyun needs to break through to the seventh level of cultivation within this month. However, this involves some internal corruption and some minor rules. Dark Star Headquarters will definitely not let a seventh-level cultivator pay for it with his life. In fact, Chongyun may even receive better treatment.

However, the resources required to break through to level seven are very expensive. Even though Chongyun is a member of the Weak Water faction and can enjoy certain discounts, there is still a considerable gap. Unless he directly occupies the entire arena and collects all the arena's revenue for the year, he can barely fill this gap!
"Chen Jiuge!"

"what?"

A strange expression appeared on the old man's face: "You came to me with such fanfare, only to have me kill a level two kid? Are you kidding me?"

"Don't you have any trusted subordinates? You want me to personally deal with a mere second-level cultivator? Are you insulting me?"

“He’s no ordinary level two cultivator. He has two level four ferocious beasts at his disposal, and they’re the kind of beasts with extremely high combat power. In addition, he has a level five Qi Master by his side. Although my trusted men can deal with them, I’m not 100% confident. That bitch Yunyan will definitely stop him personally!”

Chongyun looked at the old man: "If I die, you won't fare much better. You're only able to hide here safely because of your cover. Once I lose my status as the Star Lord, your fate won't be any better!"

The old man snorted coldly, "I know."

"However, I won't take action myself. For this level of difficulty, it's enough to let these little cuties handle it."

Chongyun was somewhat dissatisfied, but considering that if the old man made a move and revealed some of his aura, it would cause even greater trouble, he could only reluctantly agree.

Fortunately, the abyssal creatures raised by the old man were not ordinary either. These abyssal creatures, hanging pitifully in mid-air, were at least at the fifth level of cultivation, and the larger ones were even at the sixth level.

Furthermore, while abyssal creatures lack reason, they are natural warriors, possessing an even sharper instinct for combat. (End of Chapter)
