Beast Tamer: I can extract blood

Animal breeding farm

This originally nameless breeding farm also acquired its own name after the opening of the Hundred Beasts Pavilion.

Three months later, the animal farm has become more lively.

Amidst the roars of ferocious beasts rising and falling, there were also sounds of laughter and playful banter from many people.

After identifying the type of ferocious beast, Chen Jiuge rarely came to the breeding farm anymore. Every month, he would refine some Yuan Pills and have them delivered to him.

In any case, this is the most basic evolution, and taking the Yuan Dan will suffice; nothing unexpected will happen.

Furthermore, with an armed team led by Lie Guang stationed at the Beast Breeding Farm, there's no need to worry about any accidents. As for whether anyone would dare to secretly hoard Yuan Dan, that's impossible, because each Yuan Dan represents an evolving ferocious beast, and hoarding would definitely be discovered.

Of course, the fact that these farm workers understood this principle was also thanks to a few fearless explorers.

"gentlemen!"

Lie Guang had already received news of Chen Jiuge's arrival and was waiting at the entrance of the breeding farm before Chen Jiuge arrived.

"Lie Guang, you're too kind. You didn't need to wait for me!"

Lie Guang smiled without saying a word.

Three months after its opening, the Hundred Beasts Pavilion not only failed to provoke resistance from the outer circle forces, but also perfectly integrated into them, and even generated considerable monthly profits, which is a great achievement.

At least Yun Congyi, who received Lie Guang's message in private, was very excited. The success of the Hundred Beasts Pavilion branch meant that even if the young lady returned and found out the information she had sent to Seventh Master, she might not necessarily execute him directly.

After so much time, Chen Jiuge also learned about one of the Yun family's rules—that they must not forcibly seize the subordinates and property of their clansmen!
Yun Congyi's attempt to pass on a message to Seventh Master was strictly forbidden by the Yun family, regardless of whether Seventh Master was using threats or inducements, or whether Yun Congyi wanted to switch sides to Seventh Master.

Once discovered, even Bai Cheng, the seventh master of the Yun family, would be under great pressure, while servants like Yun Congyi would probably be finished.

This system can effectively prevent infighting within families, but systems are ultimately rigid and inflexible.

Just like now, Yunyan's soul is still there, but she is trapped in the small world. It is unknown when she can return, or even if she can return at all. This creates an opportunity.

In particular, Chen Jiuge has already demonstrated his abilities.

Making millions or tens of millions a month is nothing to the elders of the Yun family.

However, in the eyes of Yun family disciples of the same generation as Yunyan, this was a considerable fortune. Even the previous generation of Yuncheng valued Chen Jiuge's potential and felt that it could bring them greater benefits. They did not hesitate to violate the rules and secretly paid attention to Chen Jiuge.

"The main purpose of this trip is to verify a secret animal breeding formula, and also to deal with the personnel issues at the farm."

How well have these externally recruited employees performed? Are they trustworthy?

Lie Guang lowered his head and said, "It's alright for now. Apart from a few people who were willing to risk their lives to try to hide the ferocious beasts and Yuan Dan from the breeding farm at the beginning, it's been relatively peaceful after they were punished."

"However, we certainly can't be considered extremely loyal, but this is the best we can do in the short term."

"Yes, the situation at the Hundred Beasts Pavilion is similar, so I asked Axi to recruit more people. This time, I plan to recruit more qualified orphans."

"Now that the Hundred Beasts Pavilion has established itself, it should start to cultivate its own manpower. The Yun family will not provide any support in the short term, so we need to rely on our own efforts."

"The same goes for the breeding farm. As for the specific personnel, I'll leave it to you, Lieguang."

"As for training, I will make arrangements later."

"Yes, sir!"

"Okay, go ahead and do your work if you have nothing else to do. Oh, and while you're at it, arrange for someone to deliver the things I need."

Chen Jiuge handed over a list of spiritual materials.

While waiting for the spiritual materials, Chen Jiuge also took a quick tour of the breeding farm.

The staff inside the venue weren't very familiar with Chen Jiuge, but some of the older employees who had joined from the beginning recognized him, so there was no sign of them being oblivious.

At least in Chen Jiuge's opinion, the farm is doing quite well at the moment. It is operating stably, and the employees seem to be very honest. Although their work is not the best, they are not slacking off. After all, they are not beast tamers, and there are some details they cannot take care of.

This further solidified Chen Jiuge's idea of ​​cultivating a group of low-level beast tamers.

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

The person who came was not Lie Guang, but just an ordinary member of the armed forces.

"Well, trouble!"

He took out spiritual materials from the storage ring that had been delivered, most of which were essence blood. Chen Jiuge wanted to verify the Blood Refining Technique.

Chen Jiuge had already chosen the target beast for the Blood Refining Technique during his inspection; it was a Mighty Bear.

The Mighty Bear looks similar to a normal brown bear, but is slightly larger. Its most notable features are its toughness, durability, and immense strength.

"A level three Mighty Bear is about right. It's the first time trying this, there's no need to use a higher level, it would be too wasteful!"

After knocking out the powerful bear, whose fate was uncertain—whether it was unlucky or lucky—Chen Jiuge used his fingers as a brush and blood as ink to continuously paint on its body.

Eerie patterns slowly spread across the entire body of the Mighty Bear.

"Next is the array pattern."

Compared to drawing blood-refining patterns on the Mighty Bear, array patterns are the most difficult hurdle. Chen Jiuge is not an array master and only knows some basics about arrays. Although the Blood Refining Array is not difficult, it is still more complex than the most basic array.

"呲呲呲"

"Failed again?"

Chen Jiuge looked at the smoking array with a hint of impatience on his face. Because his cultivation had improved too quickly, his control over his own magical power was not very smooth. This situation was within Chen Jiuge's expectations.

Despite her thoughts, Chen Jiuge was still somewhat disheartened by the repeated failures.

"There are two more doses left, let's try again. If that still doesn't work, let's try to control the magic power first."

Luckily, the Blood Refining Array was completed on the last attempt.

The large formation covered an area of ​​ten meters in radius, and at the moment the painting was completed, a blood-red light shone forth.

"Success! Next comes the blood refinement!"

"Kang Dang"

Two buckets of ferocious beast blood were poured into the great formation. Instead of being absorbed by the earth, the blood seemed to come alive and surged toward the mighty bear at the center of the formation.

Chen Jiuge's hands moved rapidly, forming a series of intricate hand gestures, culminating in the final gesture. Suddenly, the blood within the formation split into eight strands, quickly wrapping around the body of the Mighty Bear.

Blood slowly seeped into the body of the Mighty Bear. The Mighty Bear, which had been unconscious, seemed to feel intense pain and let out a roar. However, due to the Blood Refining Array, it could not break free.

The roar of the Mighty Bear was quite eerie, but thanks to Chen Jiuge's prior instructions, no one disturbed it.

As time passed, almost all of the eight streams of blood had been absorbed by the Mighty Bear. At this moment, Chen Jiuge forced out a drop of essence blood from his fingertip and sent it toward the Mighty Bear's brow.

Although this is not a contract, it can still control the Mighty Bear to some extent, which can be considered an alternative beast taming method. However, the price to pay is quite high, and the number of bears that can be controlled cannot be too many.

A cultivator can have a maximum of nine drops of essence blood in their body at the same time. Even one drop of essence blood is a significant loss for a cultivator. Moreover, the recovery speed of essence blood is not fast; the higher the cultivation level, the slower the recovery speed.

As the essence blood settled on the Great Bear's brow, its expression gradually calmed down.

An hour later, as darkness fell, the entire Blood Refining Array erupted with a dazzling red light. The Mighty Bear let out a roar, and its size began to undergo a tremendous change.

From a body less than one zhang tall to two zhang tall, the already powerful bear's muscles became even tighter, forming terrifying lumps.

Originally at level three, it achieved a triple leap, directly becoming a level six ferocious beast!

"Wow, this effect is a bit terrifying!"

Looking at the Mighty Bear respectfully lying beside him, Chen Jiuge stroked its big head and felt the blood and energy emanating from it. Even without testing it, Chen Jiuge could estimate the enormous power contained within its body.

"The Blood Refining Technique is so powerful, why haven't those major powers studied it? Could it be that they look down on it? That shouldn't be the case!"

Chen Jiuge had some doubts.

What Chen Jiuge didn't know was that the Blood Refining Method had very strict requirements and a shockingly low success rate.

The price of a single drop of essence blood is already considerable for a cultivator, and coupled with that touching success rate, it's enough to bring tears to one's eyes!
Chen Jiuge's success on the first try was actually due to the Chaos Pearl. Although the Chaos Pearl is now dormant, Chen Jiuge, as its host, has long been imbued with the original power of the Chaos Pearl. In other words, Chen Jiuge's magic power contains a certain amount of chaotic energy.

Chaos energy is an excellent energy source for ferocious beasts and spirit beasts, as it can promote the evolution of their bloodlines.

It was under these circumstances that Chen Jiuge was able to succeed on his first attempt, and even in the future, he could succeed this time as well.

"Never mind, this is a good thing after all!"

"The ferocious beasts cultivated using the Blood Refining Method are quite powerful. Although the cost is considerable and the number that can be refined is limited, it can still supplement one's own combat strength!"

"Perhaps I can place these ferocious beasts in a breeding farm!"

Chen Jiuge pondered. Because the ferocious beasts refined by the Blood Refining Method greatly enhanced their physical bodies and expelled the Yellow Spring Qi, their intelligence was relatively high. Although they were not as intelligent as ordinary people, they could still execute some simple commands. As time passed and their cultivation improved, it was not impossible for their intelligence to become as high as that of a spirit beast.

Moreover, due to their strong physical bodies, the ferocious beasts trained by the Blood Refining Method have a stronger survival ability. Although their combat abilities are relatively limited, they are still quite qualified as guards and meat shields!

Most importantly, the ferocious beasts created using the Blood Refining Method are not limited by the beast tamer's cultivation level!

Regardless of the beast taming method, a beast tamer's beast can only be one level higher than the beast tamer. Of course, a level nine beast tamer cannot cultivate a beast that breaks through the limit. Even if they could, the contract would backfire, and the beast tamer would most likely die on the spot.

The Blood Refining Method does not have this problem, but relatively speaking, the beasts refined by the Blood Refining Method will have lower loyalty, requiring extra care. Beast tamers need to spend a certain amount of time cultivating their relationship with them to avoid betrayal.

"Looks like I'll have to stay at the farm from now on!"

The ferocious beasts are not very intelligent and have a bad temper. The ability of the ferocious beasts controlled by the Blood Refinement Technique is not as good as that of the Beast Taming Contract. If Chen Jiuge is not by his side for a long time, there is a high possibility of unrest.

A month later, the recruitment of the Hundred Beasts Pavilion by Axi had yielded some results.

The outer circle is different from the inner circle. There are no homeless children in the inner circle. Children who have lost their parents will be taken in by orphanages. Some of the more talented ones will be taken in by powerful families and trained as guards or assassins.

The outer circle is different. It's not that there are no orphanages in the outer circle, but the forces in the outer circle don't need bodyguards.

The problem is that the outer area is too chaotic, and the orphanage isn't necessarily safe, or even if the children have enough to eat.

Training elite bodyguards is too expensive; the outer forces simply don't have the time or resources for it.

Twilight City is one of the top ten main cities, and only level four cultivators are considered respectable. If you want to cultivate a child to level four, it might only take ten years or so for someone with good aptitude, but it could take decades for someone with less aptitude.

It's uncertain whether many forces in the outer circle can even exist for decades. Compared to the forces in the inner circle that have existed for thousands, tens of thousands, or even longer, the oldest forces in the outer circle have only existed for a little over a thousand years.

"My name is Chen Jiuge, and I will be your teacher from now on!"

The children below were of varying ages, the youngest being about six or seven years old and the oldest about ten.

Despite their young age, they have all experienced real hardship and know how rare this opportunity is.

Nodding in satisfaction, Chen Jiuge had the basic beast-taming techniques and introductory martial arts techniques distributed together.

"These two books represent two different paths: Beastmaster and Martial Artist!"

"Follow your heart's choice and choose one path to practice!"

These children were all selected; they were physically outstanding and had a vibrant spirit.

Martial artists need physical talent, while beast tamers need mental talent; they are well-suited for each other.

"Yes, my lord!"

“You can call me teacher,” Chen Jiuge corrected.

"is teacher!"

After abandoning the two cultivation techniques, Chen Jiuge ignored them.

These talismans will take at least several decades to become effective; for now, let's just consider it an experiment!

Compared to these children, Chen Jiuge had something more important to do: to cultivate the Blood Refining Beast.

With the help of a large amount of spiritual materials that replenish qi and blood, the drop of essence blood that was lost earlier has been replenished, and now it is possible to try to refine a second blood-refined ferocious beast.

In addition, during the month of recuperation, the training of the Moon Shadows was completed. The Moon family was very satisfied and offered a high reward, so Chen Jiuge had no complaints.

As for the second transaction, there's no rush. It's only been a month, and we haven't sold all ten Moonshadows yet. We haven't received any feedback from our clients either. Whether we should continue the cooperation is not urgent.

The Blood Refinement Method primarily strengthens the physical body of ferocious beasts, but physical bodies also have different characteristics, the simplest being strength, speed, and physique.

In addition, there are many other strange physical powers, all of which are within the scope of the Blood Refinement Technique. However, these are also strange physical powers, and the more ferocious beast blood essence is needed for enhancement, the greater the possibility of failure.

This time, Chen Jiuge plans to cultivate not just anyone, but Moonshadowers!
The abilities of Moonshadowers are actually quite good, especially after being nurtured and strengthened by Chen Jiuge. Their speed is terrifying, and the power they unleash under the moonlight far surpasses that of their peers, making them well worth nurturing.

Moreover, the Moonshadows are quite attractive and can even disguise themselves as humans—advantages that most ferocious beasts lack. (End of Chapter)
