Beast Tamer: I can extract blood

Has the venom production of the Blue-light Scorpion increased?

"Do you think this can bring more profits to our Hundred Beasts Pavilion?"

Not long after receiving Chen Jiuge's report, Yunyan had a video call with him.

"Yes, young lady!"

"Through the Mechanical Heart over this period of time, I have gained some understanding of the Twilight City, including some knowledge about ferocious beasts!"

"First of all, the Chen family and the Yue family are both long-established beast-taming families. They have cultivated countless powerful ferocious beasts. Although the Blood Dragon is rare, it can only make the Hundred Beasts Pavilion stand out a little, so that it is not reduced to an ordinary ferocious beast shop on the street."

"Furthermore, I observed many beast shops. Although they mainly sell beasts, the number of transactions is actually not that high. Most of the transactions involve materials from the beasts!"

"Especially those ferocious beast materials that are produced in a cycle can bring more profits to the shop!"

"The Blue Light Scorpion is one I specifically selected!"

"The venom of the Azure Scorpion, which can be used to make medicine, is not short of market demand. Although its grade is not very high, there are advantages to its low price. It makes it affordable for more people. As time goes by, some Azure Scorpions can even break through their cultivation levels. It can be said to be a goose that lays eggs, and it is suitable for long-term holding!"

"I didn't expect you to have thought of so much in such a short time. I'll leave this matter to you. I'll have Yun Congyi cooperate with you!"

Yunyan first agreed with Chen Jiuge's statement, and then continued, "Don't worry too much about what happened to Seventh Uncle last time. The beast's return to its ancestral form is quite unusual. I can't handle the secrets alone. But you don't need to worry too much. You are my person, and I will definitely protect you!"

"Young Miss, you flatter me!"

"Okay, I'm glad you understand. I have a lot of important things to do here and won't be back for a while. The Hundred Beasts Pavilion was specially prepared for you. Just do your best to make it bigger!"

"With my intervention last time, not many people in the city will cause you trouble. Just don't be too conspicuous!"

"If you encounter anyone who's being difficult and causing trouble, just contact me directly!"

"Yes, Miss!"

Skylight Manor is very large, and the Beast Academy covers a considerable area. It also incorporates some fragments of a secret realm. Although the expanded space cannot compare to a complete secret realm, it is still easy to set up a breeding farm for Azure Scorpions!

In just three days, Yun Congyi had finished dealing with the breeding farm of the blue scorpion.

"Mr. Chen, could you tell me where else we need to repair?" Yun Congyi asked politely.

The Blue-light Scorpion prefers damp places but also needs sunlight and cannot survive underground for long periods of time, so Yun Cong has been transforming this area into a swamp.

Looking around, all you see are pale purple water-patterned grasses. Although this spiritual plant is only at level two, it can absorb the spiritual energy in the air and transform it into streams of clear spiritual water. It is usually used to improve water quality, but it is also perfect for creating swamps.

"not bad!"

This wasn't just Chen Jiuge flattering her; it was genuinely her feeling.

In just three days, to be able to collect so much water ripple grass and get it to take root in this place, directly changing the terrain and forming a swamp, is no easy feat even with the Yun family's power. After all, it's the subordinates who are doing the work, so there will always be some delays.

The fact that CloudWalk can achieve such efficiency proves that this chief steward is quite capable.

"I've almost finished dealing with the Azure Scorpions. They're all in the Beast Academy. How about we release them in after Mr. Chen has nurtured them?"

"can!"

"By the way, Mr. Chen, do you have any suggestions regarding manpower for collecting the venom of the Blue Light Scorpion?"

"manpower?"

Chen Jiuge pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's bring Leng She over. Although his cultivation level is only level four, he is a beast warrior and has fused with the Poisonous Python bloodline, which makes him resistant to the venom of the Azure Scorpion. Moreover, I am currently planning to have him absorb an even more powerful bloodline, so his cultivation level should be able to improve further."

"Assign any assistants you like, but preferably those with level four cultivation and some resistance to poison!"

"Alright, then we'll do as Mr. Chen says!"

Yun Congyi was very efficient. That afternoon, the cultivation materials for the Azure Scorpion and the Cold Serpent had already arrived.

Also present was Gong Guang, who had been sent to the Twilight Chamber of Commerce by Chen Jiuge.

"Sir, this is the Poisonous Dragon Bloodline you need, but the highest level available from the Twilight Merchant Guild is only level six." Gong Guang said with some regret. Level six Poisonous Dragon Bloodline wasn't considered powerful; aside from the accompanying deadly poison, it didn't have any outstanding features.

"Level six? That's enough. If it's too high, it won't be suitable."

Chen Jiuge was quite satisfied with this.

Beast warriors can improve their cultivation by fusing with higher-level ferocious beast bloodlines, but they also need to be of the same type, like snakes and dragons. Although they are not the same race, they have similar origins, so the fusion is not difficult.

If a beast warrior who has fused with the bloodline of a turtle tries to strengthen himself by fusing with the bloodline of a bird, he will most likely explode and die.

"Cold Serpent, what do you think?"

"Ah, is this for me?" Although she had a guess in her heart, Leng She was still a little excited.

"Of course, I promised you that I originally planned to cultivate your bloodline myself so that you could fuse and improve it. However, it would take too long, and I knew nothing about bloodline processing, so I opted for the simpler method."

"The bloodline of the Poisonous Dragon is indeed mediocre. If you don't like it, then forget it!"

Chen Jiuge was very magnanimous.

Leng She knelt on one knee, her voice choked with emotion, and said, "Sir, how could I possibly find you unworthy?"

"Alright, why bother with all this? If you don't mind, then use it. But you're crossing two bloodline levels at once, are you sure you're okay with that?" Chen Jiuge said with some concern as he helped Leng She up.

Cold Serpent said confidently, "No problem. I have already reached the fourth level of perfection. It's just that I haven't been able to obtain a better bloodline, so I have been stuck at this level."

"Alright, let's integrate as soon as possible. This Blue Scorpion breeding farm will be under your management from now on!"

"Yes, sir!"

Leng She readily accepted the Poison Dragon Bloodline right in front of Chen Jiuge and Gong Guang.

It's called bloodline, but it's not really something indescribable; it's just a purplish pill. The Beast Warrior is a position created by a powerful figure in the Twilight Realm, and it's still very young. Compared to other ancient professions, it's practically a toddler.

Those cultivators who can refine bloodlines, removing the bestial nature of ferocious beasts while retaining the bloodline's abilities, are called Bloodline Masters. This is an extremely rare profession, which makes it very difficult for Beast Warriors to improve their cultivation!

It might be easy for low-level beast warriors to get started, but it's not easy for those above level four, which is related to bloodline master cultivators.

Just like Leng She, who is clearly a level four beast warrior and has a lot of savings, it would not be difficult for him to buy the Poisonous Dragon Bloodline worth a mere three million in living money, but he has indeed been unable to advance.

This involves many factors, one of which is the bloodline master. Those who can handle the bloodline of a level six ferocious beast are at least level seven bloodline masters, which is something that Leng She cannot possibly deal with.

As for buying it from a large merchant guild like the Other Shore Flower Guild, that's simply impossible. Without a certain status, the guild would never sell it to you. This bloodline pill, essential for improving the cultivation of beast warriors, is a valuable item used by large families to cultivate private slaves or as a favor.

The fact that Chen Jiuge was able to purchase this Poisonous Dragon Bloodline Pill was thanks to Yunyan's intervention; otherwise, Chen Jiuge himself wouldn't have been qualified.

Watching the cold snake's chaotic and ever-increasing energy, Chen Jiuge pondered, "A level six Poisonous Dragon Bloodline Pill can at least allow the cold snake's cultivation to break through to level five, and even that would be considered quite good among level five cultivators. With enough resources and effort, breaking through to level six is ​​only a matter of time. Managing a Green Light Scorpion breeding farm should be enough."

The transformation of a beast warrior takes a long time, and Chen Jiuge had no interest in watching it indefinitely. He asked Gong Guang to help protect him while he went to cultivate the Azure Scorpion, intending to make the breeding farm live up to its name as soon as possible.

The attempt by Qingguang Scorpion made Chen Jiuge realize that Yunyan valued his talent, but more importantly, she valued how much benefit his talent could bring him.

Therefore, in the following years, Chen Jiuge focused all his beast-taming training on ferocious beasts that could generate more wealth.

As for the reversion to ancestral ferocious beasts, their frequency has indeed decreased significantly, and there has been no longer a breeding formula that can be used for a single race.

It could be considered as concealing one's talents, but what Chen Jiuge considered to be concealing his talents was so unbelievable to many people, especially since Chen Jiuge came from a small third-tier city, yet he had an astonishing fifth-tier citizen status in the mountain city, which was considered normal in the main city of Huanghun.

Seven years later

"呲呲呲"

The tiny, emerald-green scorpion, no bigger than a puppy, scurried swiftly across the muddy ground. It was so fast that it could disappear in the blink of an eye, much to the chagrin of the servants responsible for collecting its venom.

The only thought was violent capture. The servant couldn't help but shudder at the thought of the Blue Scorpion's startled and enraged reaction. He didn't want to end up as a puddle of swamp at such a young age.

"Suckling"

Holding a piece of slightly rotten animal meat in his hand, he beckoned to the Azure Scorpion hiding under the Water Ripple Grass, making a sound like he was coaxing a puppy.

This is a newly grown blue scorpion. When it was young, its people told it that as long as these two-legged creatures made some strange noises, they could get delicious food by going over to it, and all it would take was some 'saliva'.

"Would you like to give it a try?"

After hesitating for a long time, the young blue scorpion finally succumbed to the temptation and took a step with its long legs.

"Good boy, good boy!"

The attendant, named Xiao Guang, carefully fed the Azure Scorpion. As it ate, he meticulously collected the saliva that dripped from its mouth, which was actually the scorpion's venom.

As a regular collector at the farm, Xiao Guang has to collect at least 100 milliliters of venom a day in order to receive his payment.

A normal Azure Scorpion can only collect about ten milliliters of venom each time it feeds, which means that Xiao Guang has to feed at least ten Azure Scorpions a day, which is very dangerous for a low-level cultivator like him who only has a second-level cultivation.

Although each collector has an antidote pill, the antidote pill is not free, and it cannot completely remove the venom of the Blue Scorpion, which can cause damage to the body.

As the Azure Scorpion finished eating and watched its departing figure, which resembled a scumbag leaving without a trace of lingering affection, Xiao Guang's wariness eased slightly, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips. Today's 100 milliliters were complete!

The task of collecting venom from the Blue Scorpion is dangerous, but it is a very valuable job for Xiao Guang. As long as he completes the task, he will earn three coins a day. Even if he fails to complete the task, he will still earn one coin. However, if he fails to complete the task too many times, he will be fired, which is unacceptable to Xiao Guang!
The main city of Twilight is large and prosperous. There are almost no poor people in the inner circle. At least they live a very decent life. If you want people in the inner circle to do this kind of collection work, no one will pay you less than ten coins a day.

Especially as the number of blue scorpions increased, the farm needed more and more collectors. In order to save costs, Yun Congyi specially recruited workers from the outer circle, and Xiao Guang was one of them.

"Sir!" Xiao Guang respectfully handed the azure bottle in his hand to the middle-aged man with a cold expression.

The bottle contained the venom of the Azure Scorpion, which Cold Serpent was very familiar with. He probed with his aura and, finding no problem, immediately gave out three coins.

"Thank you, sir!"

"Okay, do a good job!"

"Cold Snake, why are you doing such trivial things yourself?"

A young voice came from the side, and Leng She's somewhat arrogant face instantly melted, revealing a kind smile as he said, "Sir, didn't we hear that you were coming today?"

"Oh, it's nothing serious. I was just checking on the farm. After all, the Azure Scorpion farm is one of the biggest profit generators for the Hundred Beasts Pavilion right now!" Chen Jiuge said with a smile.

"Sir, please go ahead!"

Xiao Guang, with her head down, secretly glanced at Chen Jiuge not far away, a hint of gratitude flashing through her mind: "Is this the master who taught us the Poison Master profession? He looks so kind!"

Chen Jiuge naturally wouldn't care about the thoughts of a collector. In seven years, his status in the Yun family and his cultivation had undergone earth-shattering changes.

What was originally a small-scale operation, the Hundred Beasts Pavilion, has long since become a medium-sized shop thanks to Chen Jiuge's extraordinary beast-taming abilities, and even has a certain reputation in the low-end ferocious beast materials market.

Who wouldn't love the Hundred Beasts Pavilion, with its generous portions that satisfy every craving?
At least the restaurants, and some alchemists and weapon refiners, all like it.

Of course, this also touched on the interests of some people, especially the Yue family!
Although the Chen family is also a master of beast taming, they have already achieved great success in the art. The low-level ferocious beasts that Chen Jiuge cultivates cannot shake their foundation, as long as there are no large numbers of creatures like the Blood Flood Dragon.

On the contrary, the Yue family, who only slightly meddled with the ferocious beasts, has suffered heavy losses in recent years.

The Hundred Beasts Pavilion has taken away a large share of the low-end market. In the high-end ferocious beast market, the Yue family is no match for the Chen family. Although there are some representative ferocious beasts in the mid-range market, they are not as good as the Blood Dragon overall. It can be said that the Hundred Beasts Pavilion has completely suppressed them.

Other beast shops might give them face out of respect for the Yue family, but the Hundred Beasts Pavilion is backed by the Yun family, which is even stronger than the Yue family. There's really no need to give them face.

This also made the cultivators in charge of the ferocious beast business in the Yue family extremely disgusted with Chen Jiuge, wishing they could just kill him.

"The scale of the Blue Scorpion farm has recently reached its limit, but the Blue Scorpion's venom has many uses. Although its rank is not high, it brings great profits!"

"I discussed it with the head steward, and we're planning to open another farm!" (End of Chapter)
