Beast Tamer: I can extract blood

After that, Chen Jiuge's life seemed to suddenly become peaceful.

As Yao Yao grew up, the business of the Hundred Beasts Pavilion also expanded day by day, and Yun Congyi also contributed a lot to this.

However, because Yunyan was absent for a long time, the other members of the Yun family finally made their move, and the first one to be killed was Yun Congyi.

However, because Yunyan was still alive, Yun Congyi was not seriously harmed. He was also an eighth-level Qi Gong master, so the Yun family would not waste his time imprisoning him, but simply exiled him to a small town outside.

Zishu and the others also tried to find Yaoyao's whereabouts, but it was almost impossible to find a baby in the outer circle.

As time went by, Zishu and the others gave up. So what if they got scolded? They were used to it anyway.

Instead, he became friends with the hunting group he initially got close to. It just goes to show that life is unpredictable and anything is possible!

Lof didn't cause any major disturbances either. Any businesses he owned would be destroyed for no reason. For this, Lof even disregarded his family's reputation and reported the case to the Ten Courts.

The result was predictable: the fact that he could destroy Lov's businesses multiple times without being caught clearly indicates that he was being protected by the Ten Courts of Justice.

As for who it is, it can probably only be that poor councilor—Die Qing.

Cat Tail Tavern
"boom"

Two large wine glasses clinked together, and Zishu, with a slight blush on his face, poured out his grievances to Zhuolin in front of him: "Doctor, this is really not a job for a human being. We're looking for an infant, and there's not a single clue."

"With so many people in the outer circle, where am I supposed to find a baby for him?!"

"So what if it's special? It's still just a little baby. Do you think someone who found this baby would take it out for a walk?"

"Three people, just the three of us, and he still wants us to get results as soon as possible!"

"Hehe." Zishu chuckled self-deprecatingly and said listlessly, "Well, that's it. It's been years, I'm practically a kid now, what am I supposed to find?"

"If I can't find it, I can't go back, sob sob sob."

As the story progressed, the rat burst into tears.

Zhuo Lin offered a soft word of comfort, but his face was turned away, as he was too ashamed to face her!

Every time Zhuolin comforted Zishu, he couldn't sleep at night, fearing that if he accidentally let Zishu discover the truth, what would happen to him?
"It would probably shatter their worldview!"

Because he hadn't been back for a long time, coupled with pressure from the organization, Zishu spent all his family fortune in the first two years, devoting all his energy to gathering information, and then he ran out of money.

Forced by circumstances, I joined a family and hunted with a hunting group to earn money, but not every hunt was profitable.

During one of his most difficult times, Zishu did something truly shocking: he sold out his former employer and, with his family, robbed a laboratory.

The laboratory was in a semi-abandoned state, so the rats were not worried about being discovered. On the contrary, the large harvest from the laboratory alleviated the hunting party's economic crisis.

"Big brother, don't cry. Actually, I think it's pretty good here." The pig reluctantly pulled out a big chicken leg.

"Go away, you foodie."

With slightly blurry eyes, Zishu said in confusion, "The inner circle is much better! The girls inside are much prettier than those in the outer circle. There's not so much technology there; they're all made of real materials!"

The rat roughly touched the woman next to him, and then got pricked by the prosthetic body.

"Fuck, don't you know I like all-natural things?"

The woman shook her body unhappily, but Zhuo Lin promptly stuffed a wad of money into her chest, and then left with a smile.

"Brother Zishu, the inner circle is very prosperous, but how should I put it? The inner circle is full of big shots. We little people live in fear and trembling. It's nothing like the freedom of the outer circle!"

Dang Yue said with a smile, "Of course, the premise is that we need to have money!"

"So, bro, do you know of any other labs that aren't getting much attention? We could come up with another one."

Zishu glanced at Dangyue speechlessly. This old guy was really greedy, but what he said made sense!
"But it seems there really is one."

"Oh, tell me more!"

A glint of light flashed in Dang Yue's eyes, and her smile almost completely disappeared.

Zishu shook the wine glass in his hand, and Dangyue diligently filled it to the brim.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the wine the commander pours is definitely something else!"

Zishu's expression turned serious as he said, "Actually, I don't know if that laboratory still exists. I heard ten years ago that it was going to be shut down."

Ten years ago!

Dang Yue said speechlessly, "Are you kidding me? It's been ten years."

"Now you can't even find grass to eat!"

"That's not necessarily true!" A sly glint flashed across Zishu's flushed face.

Do you know how much it costs to build a laboratory?

"Besides, you can't just lay off people from the labs. Those labs are shady businesses anyway, and once the equipment comes out, it's impossible to take it back on a large scale!"

"At least those large pieces of equipment can't be hidden from others."

"Actually, I think that even if those labs are laid off, they can't be completely cleared out."

Even if they no longer work for their former employer, those non-permanent staff will spontaneously form groups to continue researching things to make a profit.

"Are you sure?" Dang Yue asked with some doubt.

"Of course, the laboratory is under the responsibility of the Twelve Zodiacs, so I'm well aware of that!"

"Are you sure there's no danger?" Zhuo Lin was more curious about the people who later took over the laboratory.

"That's right. Generally speaking, a laboratory will only be equipped with one level seven team leader. Only higher-level laboratories will have one level nine cultivator. The laboratories you looted before were all the lowest level."

"Is that the lowest-level laboratory you mentioned also?"

Zishu shook his head and said, "No, it is the highest level. At its peak, it housed more than three level nine experts, and from time to time, those who had broken through the limits would come to test it."

"Of course, this was also his most prosperous period. Now it's just so-so. Ten years ago, it was reduced to the lowest level of laboratory. However, the equipment inside is very valuable."

"My only worry is whether those who stay behind will find their own backers. If that happens, it's too risky for our hunting party to rely on us alone!"

Zishu and his two companions were all at the seventh level of cultivation, and their combat strength was relatively stronger than that of Dangyue and the others. However, the family hunting group was no longer just a few people. In the recent period, they had gathered nearly thirty people, all of whom were elites, with either the fifth or sixth level of cultivation.

Furthermore, each member of the hunting party is equipped with a powerful or exceptionally capable level-six ferocious beast, making their overall combat strength extremely formidable. This is why, even after Zi Shu and his two companions joined the hunting party, Dang Yue and the others still took the lead.

“No rush, we can investigate first. Big deals always require patience,” Dang Yue said, stroking her chin. In her heart, she was actually thinking about whether she could get some support from Chen Jiuge.

Over the past three years, Dang Yue and her two companions have had very little contact with Chen Jiuge, and the intelligence they obtained from each contact made Dang Yue feel ashamed.

Chen Jiuge is growing too fast. Although his cultivation level is still only level six, the forces he can control far exceed the current size of the hunting group. If we can get Chen Jiuge's support, this operation will be much easier.

Moreover, the advanced equipment in these laboratories is of great value to Zhuo Lin, as it can significantly advance his research process.

Chen Jiuge, who received the message from Dang Yue and others, did not immediately arrange for manpower.

"Lie Guang, recently many forces have harbored ill intentions towards our Beast Breeding Farm. Is there anything wrong with this armed team?"

Compared to three years ago, Lie Guang's cybernetic body is more futuristic, and the exposed parts are more ferocious. This is an eighth-level cybernetic body specially made for him by Chen Jiuge through his connection with Trof. Now, he is an eighth-level cybernetic body modifier and the strongest one in the armed forces.

I don’t know if it was because Yan Ye revealed her identity to Chen Jiuge, but Gong Guang and Chong Wu had already been recalled by the Yun family a year ago. On the contrary, Yan Ye’s side had an extra small team, which was very strong and no less than the Moon Riders. Yan Ye was just an unofficial scout in the team.

Moreover, with the expansion of the Hundred Beasts Pavilion, it is now extremely famous in the outer circle. Forces that were once indifferent to the Hundred Beasts Pavilion are now starting to spy on it. Some who consider themselves powerful have even sent their subordinates to infiltrate the Hundred Beasts Pavilion.

It was because of this incident that Chen Jiuge was willing to spend a lot of money to replace Lie Guang's body with a prosthetic to enhance his strength.

After all, neither the Moon Riders led by Moon Spirit nor the Shadow Guards with Kotoha among them would do such a trivial matter.

Lie Guang said in a deep voice, "No problem."

"Are you sure?" Although he didn't pay much attention to such trivial matters, Chen Jiuge knew that the farm was under a lot of pressure.

"I am sure!"

"Okay, I'll leave the farm to you!"

"Copeland, how are things on your end?"

Chen Jiuge turned his gaze to Gu Lun, a boy who was only fifteen years old.

More than four years of training have transformed Gu Lun, the former homeless child, into a man of great character, exuding a capable and efficient aura despite his not-so-robust physique.

Over the past four years, Chen Jiuge has adopted five hundred orphans, and each of them has a certain aptitude for cultivation. Although they may not be geniuses, they are all of average appearance.

The painful childhood experiences made these children exceptionally serious when they practiced. It could be said that, apart from a few children who still retained a trace of the childlike innocence and pride of childhood, most of them were like mature middle-aged people, constantly cultivating themselves.

With ample resources, Gu Lun is the first child in four years to break through to the fourth level of martial arts, and Chen Jiuge has high hopes for him.

“No problem, resources are plentiful. I’ve been keeping an eye on the others who have reached the cultivation level. However, sir, there are some people who are indeed not suitable for the path of cultivation. I hope you can eliminate them to save resources,” Gu Lun said coldly.

"I didn't realize that!"

Lie Guang looked at Gu Lun with some surprise and continued, "I didn't realize you were such a ruthless kid."

"I'm doing this for the adults, and for them," Gu Lun said without changing his expression.

"Heh." Lie Guang sneered.

Chen Jiuge interrupted, "Alright, that's enough."

Chen Jiuge didn't explain, but in fact, Gu Lun's actions were truly for the good of those young men and women.

Limited by funds and connections, Chen Jiuge initially prepared two paths: martial arts and beast taming.

With Chongwu's departure, a vacancy arose in the martial arts instructor position. Although Chen Jiuge recruited some disabled cultivators from outside to teach them, they were still no match for Chongwu.

With cybernetic modifications so popular now, what kind of knowledge can these cultivators, who can't even afford a cybernetic body, possibly have? At most, they can only provide some basic martial arts instruction.

As for beast tamers, Chen Jiuge believed he was no worse than anyone else, but beast tamers relied too much on talent. Wandering children with strong souls were actually very popular with those big families. They didn't need to cultivate ordinary four-season cultivators, but they still needed cultivators with strong souls.

Although people like Gu Lun seem to receive more resources at the farm now than before, their progress has actually slowed down since Chong Wu was gone.

As for what Gu Lun meant, Chen Jiuge actually understood that not everyone can turn the hardships of childhood into motivation. On the contrary, many people, because of the hardships of their childhood, dare not even speak loudly, let alone fight.

If someone like that were to carry out Chen Jiuge's mission in the future, it would be a near-death experience.

"Yes, I have my own considerations."

"That's it for now. Since you can handle it yourselves, I won't interfere."

"Go down."

"Yes, my lord."

As time went by, Chen Jiuge's authority grew stronger, and nowadays very few people address him as "sir".

Moreover, due to Yun Congyi's belittling and Yunyan's continued absence, Chen Jiuge's power grew day by day, though this was limited to the outer circle of the Hundred Beasts Pavilion.

The inner circle of Tianguang Manor is so crowded that it's practically a battlefield where dog brains are being beaten to a pulp; palace intrigue dramas are playing out every day.

"I just hope this farce can last a little longer."

Chen Jiuge also knew that this was just a farce, a struggle between a group of juniors, and those big shots from the Yun family were probably just watching it as a joke.

As for the things Chen Jiuge gained, they probably didn't amount to much in their eyes.

"Not necessarily. They probably don't realize just how capable I am. Maybe by the time they realize it, I won't have to worry about the Yun family anymore."

Chen Jiuge was confident that the trouble with Die Dongxue was not something he wanted to take on; it was a gift from Yuncheng. Luo Fu genuinely considered him a friend, and although his character wasn't great, Chen Jiuge was certain he wouldn't care about such a trivial matter.

Many times during drinking and dining sessions, Lof had said that if it weren't for that Butterfly Qing secretly causing him trouble, he would have long forgotten about it.

As for Die Dongxue, Luo Fu had long since thrown her away in some corner.

"Forget it, let's see who to send to Dang Yue's side first!"

Chen Jiuge was actually very interested in the laboratory mentioned in the information. He was interested in both the advanced equipment and the research materials. If he could get another experimental subject or item like Yaoyao, he would be extremely happy.

Yao Yao is only a little over three years old, but his intelligence is already equivalent to that of a normal human of seven or eight years old. His magical power has reached an astonishing level four, and his physical body is even more formidable. Ordinary level five ferocious beasts cannot harm him in the slightest.

Yao Yao is now considered a tyrant in the animal breeding farm.

Every time Yao Yao goes out to play, Chen Jiuge has to remind her, "Don't go too far." (End of Chapter)
