Destiny Beast Taming

Chapter 185 Tao En Returns to His Peak!

Hua Zun composed herself, her emotions churning within her, and spoke softly to Zhong Yi.

"Since Su Xin is determined to awaken her innate phoenix destiny, taking risks is essential!"

"It's a small token of my appreciation, but I won't thank you enough for such a great favor."

"In that case, I will leave Su Xin in Starlight City!"

Before leaving Starlight City, Hua Zun deliberately asked Xing Ye to take care of his younger sister.

Ren Suxin is of the same generation as Wen Tao and Lin Zhuo.

Even if he is younger than Wen Tao and Lin Zhuo, he can't be much younger.

When I first met Ren Suxin, she gave me a very serene feeling.

As you get to know her better, you discover that Ren Suxin is a very lively person.

A few days later, Ren Suxin communicated with Zhong Yi through Xunyin Chan Zong and they became acquainted.

Although he still lives in the Destiny Academy, he often goes to his favorite mansion to play.

He took Zhong Ling, Sun Ya, and He Guoguo shopping around Xingmang City, looking every bit the king of kids.

I've been surfing the internet occasionally these past few days, and several times I've come across content related to Red Princess.

Zhong Yi deliberately checked the Guangjing live streaming platform and found that Hong Ji hadn't ended her broadcast yet.

According to the content of the push notification, Hong Ji has already devoured seven Giant Terror Demons, three Snowstorm Apes, four Swamp Lizard Monsters, and two Armored Bulls in the past two or three days of her live stream.

What we are eating now is a giant horned rhinoceros from the Wilderness Secret Realm!

The giant horned rhinoceros could easily pierce through the hundred-refined steel plate with its long horn, but under Red Princess's pearly teeth, it was like a crisp candy.

Zhong Yi couldn't help but rub her forehead. Hong Ji's live streams over the past two or three days had increased Yu Juanjuan's fan count by nearly six million.

The atmosphere in Juanjuan's live stream seems to have completely fallen apart!

As a model student, Yu Juanjuan led her juniors from Starlight Academy to explore the secret realm and will not be back for another half month.

However, during these two weeks, Zhong Yi did not intend to let Hong Ji continue her live streams freely.

Because Zhongyi is preparing to take Hongji to explore the Divine Source Slaughter Secret Realm!

Zhong Yi would access the virtual source network every night through the Source Quality Shuttle.

Zhongyi has already read most of the documents that are provided free of charge by Virtual Source Network.

Tonight, I'll re-enter the virtual source network, intending to leave the room provided by Yuanzhi Tiansuo and go outside to take a look.

"Young Master, these past few days I've been working with the recruited apprentice crafters to cultivate the eggs of the iron-eating insects."

"I've bought a lot of female stone worms that are about to lay eggs from the Creator's Guild."

"During the time you were in Dragon Cliff City, some forces wanted to buy juvenile iron-eating worms from us."

"In the past two days, many creators have heard that we sell juvenile iron-eating insects here, and they all want to order a batch."

"Our current production of iron-eating worms is sufficient to supply the orders of the Rare Insect Chamber of Commerce, and there will be a considerable surplus."

"Do you think we should take on some orders from other organizations?"

Besides improving his personal skills, Zhao Kai has been focusing on cultivating the eggs of the iron-eating insects lately.

The apprentices recruited by Wu Qing were mostly at the two-finger level.

Unable to prepare a level-three elemental activation potion under Wu Qing's guidance.

Wu Qing simply arranged for the apprentices he had recruited to help Zhao Kai.

Zhao Kai has been receiving help from Zhong Yi and really wants to do well in the tasks Zhong Yi assigns him so that he can repay Zhong Yi.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Yi spoke directly.

"Brother Zhao, you are already aware of the pricing we gave to the Rare Insect Chamber of Commerce. If it's a large order like the one we gave to the Rare Insect Chamber of Commerce, you can quote the same price we gave them."

"For small orders, just quote a price slightly lower than the market price."

The market demand for iron-eating worms is enormous!

Even if Zhongyi releases a large number of iron-eating worm larvae into the market, they can be digested immediately.

Many forces have a large demand for iron-eating insects, which is also used to cultivate silver-eating and gold-eating insects.

Zhong Yi signed a huge order with the Rare Insect Chamber of Commerce, which intends to use this order to develop new functions.

In essence, this matter was intended to help the Rare Insect Chamber of Commerce.

There is no need to stop selling iron-eating worm larvae to other entities just because of this order with the Rare Insect Merchant Guild.

The production of iron-eating worm larvae here is so high that the Rare Insect Merchants Association simply cannot consume it all on its own.

Zhao Kai smiled and nodded upon hearing this.

"Young Master, I know what to do!"

"I have more than twenty apprentice creators training iron-eating insects, but these twenty-odd apprentices are still a bit too few."

"I hope to expand the number of apprentices to forty."

"Wu Qing's preparation of elemental activation potions is also an excellent way to obtain funds."

"Young Master, you mentioned before that you planned to open shops in the palaces in front of the mansion. The iron-eating insect larvae I cultivated and the elemental stimulating potion formulated by Wu Qing can be displayed as products in the shops."

"Wu Qing's side needs at least twenty apprentices at the level of three-finger creators."

Before Zhongyi could even speak, Tao En, who was studying the dragon blood rose nearby, couldn't help but laugh and say something.

"Young Kai, I only took you as my disciple two days ago."

"You're assigning me work right now, right in front of the young master."

"Young Master, weren't you looking for a production-type beast that could produce materials with the three attributes of water, earth, and wind?"

"Let's go to the Creator Guild together later."

"After some experimentation last night, I successfully concocted the Type IV Curse-Breaking Potion, which represents the identity of a top-tier Five-Finger Creator."

"I plan to recertify my status as a peak Five-Finger Creator at the Creator Association."

"I'll take this opportunity to help Wu Qing recruit more three-finger creation master apprentices, and also prepare some for Kai."

"This will prevent Kai from having to do everything himself, leaving him no time to improve his own abilities."

"Then I will issue a mission to the Creator Guild to acquire three production-type beasts: Ocean Starfish, Hurricane Arrowroot, and Terrifying King Insect."

"Acquire a few more of these three types of beasts, and you'll have enough to train that Boundary Dragon."

Thanks to Zhong Yi's treatment over the past few days, Tao En has barely recovered the abilities of a peak Five-Finger Creator.

As a top-tier five-fingered creator, it's easy for Tao En to recruit apprentices at the three-fingered level.

Faced with a peak four-finger creator like Zhao Kai, those three-finger creators might hesitate.

But when faced with a five-finger peak creator like Tao En, even those three-finger peak creators would fight tooth and nail to join Tao En's ranks.

Even if it is controlled, it is still a rare stroke of luck!

This could save these three-finger creators decades of detours.

Some creators, due to limited talent, can only stay at the peak of the three-finger level throughout their lives.

However, if one could be trained by a peak-level Five-Finger Creator, there is a high chance of advancing further.

At that time, the wealth and social status that one can possess and control will undergo tremendous changes.

Tao En, a five-fingered master craftsman, wanted to recruit apprentices, and some four-fingered masters were willing to exchange their freedom for Tao En's instruction.

That Boundary Dragon Egg was given to Zhong Yi by Tao En when Zhong Yi said he needed a production-type Beast Tamer that could produce materials of the three attributes of water, earth, and wind.

Tao En subconsciously realized that Zhong Yi needed these beasts to train that Boundary Dragon.

However, Tao En's ideas and Zhong Yi's goals differed to some extent.

Zhong Yi wanted to buy and train these production-type beasts that produce attribute materials, not just to train the Cloud Peak World Dragon.

They also wanted to prepare more fuel for the Yuanluan World Dragon, this war fortress.

The three production-type beasts, such as Ocean Starfish, Hurricane Arrowroot, and Terrifying King Worm, only require a small amount of resources to reliably produce attribute materials.

Furthermore, these three types of tamed beasts do not require much space for cultivation and can all be raised in groups.

The plan that Tao En proposed completely overlapped with the plan that Zhong Yi had in mind.

"When Master Tao En issued the mission at the Creators Guild, you posted a long-term purchase request in your own name."

"There is no upper limit to the number of production-type beasts that can be acquired, such as the Ocean Starfish, Hurricane Arrowroot, and Terrifying King Insect."

"At that time, I will have to trouble you, Master, to cultivate these three beasts you have acquired to the Mythical Platinum quality."

Tao En nodded in agreement.

"Young Master, these are nothing. However, if you want to acquire large quantities of beasts or materials, I think you should establish a merchant guild."

"We have opened several shops in various cities of the New Xia Federation to facilitate your acquisition of resources in each city."

"Once the heads of each shop are integrated into the upper circles of these cities, they can help you find and obtain the resources you need at auctions and private trade fairs that only circulate within the upper circles."

"Given our positions, it wouldn't be difficult to establish a cross-city chamber of commerce."

"After that, you just need to find an excellent manager to take charge of the chamber of commerce, and it won't take much of your effort."

"Otherwise, even if we pay a premium, it would be difficult to acquire many of these precious production-type beasts, such as the Ocean Starfish, the Hurricane Arrowroot, and the Terrifying King Insect."

"The elemental concentration of the attribute materials produced by these three types of beasts is extremely high. Small forces usually treat these beasts as cash cows and would never sell them to others."

Zhong Yi was moved by what Tao En said.

Indeed, if I need some precious materials or tamed beasts in the future, it will be difficult to obtain them by relying solely on personal connections.

Establishing a chamber of commerce and integrating into various cities would make it easier to acquire resources at auctions or private trade fairs.

Zhongyi can afford the costs of setting up a chamber of commerce.

Selling iron-eating insects to the public now will allow Zhong Yi to obtain a large amount of money.

Drunken Dragon Jade is a resource that is snapped up immediately upon entering the market.

However, to establish a chamber of commerce, having funds is not enough; you also need a professional manager.

This professional manager determines the future prospects of a chamber of commerce.

Neither Zhong Yi nor Tao En could possibly focus their attention on the operation of the Chamber of Commerce.

Among those who value trustworthiness, Zhong Chenghuai is not suitable as a manager for the chamber of commerce across cities.

Firstly, Zhong Chenghuai was Zhong Yi's adjutant, and he already had many things to do.

Secondly, to be fair, Chung Sing-Chun does not possess such management skills.

Zhongyi cannot start a chamber of commerce until a suitable manager is brought under his command.

Zhong Yi put on the mask made of Illusionary Dragon Crystal and went to the Creator Guild with Tao En.

This can be considered Zhongyi's first public appearance as a healing-type chosen one.

I only went through the motions of joining the Creator Guild.

After being certified as a Five-Finger Peak Creator by Toon, he recruited some Creator Apprentices with Toon.

The joint appearance of Zhong Yi and Tao En is tantamount to announcing to the public that Zhong Yi has healed Tao En's wounded soul.

This directly proves to the outside world Zhong Yi's ability and value as a healing-type chosen one!

This also proclaims that Tao En, the creator who has endured hardship for more than ten years, has returned to his peak!

Tao Enzheng originally planned to recruit only fifty apprentice builders, but more than one hundred apprentice builders wanted to join Tao Enzheng's team.

This is the first time in Star City that a top-tier creator of the Five Fingers has publicly recruited apprentices.

This is an opportunity for all the creators in Star City.

Tao En already has Zhao Kai as a disciple, and he can't teach too many creator apprentices.

Instead of increasing the number of apprentice creators recruited, Tao En conducted an assessment of the three-finger creators who wanted to follow him.

Even the worst three-finger creators who passed Tao En's assessment reached the intermediate level of three-finger creation.

Among them are nine peak-level creators with three fingers!

These certified creators are not only highly capable, but also not very old.

For creators, at the same level, the younger they are, the more potential they have.

After receiving news that Towen was recruiting apprentices, several four-fingered craftsmen expressed interest in becoming Towen's apprentices.

However, these four-fingered creators wanted to negotiate terms, but Tao En ultimately refused.

Tao En actually prefers three-finger creators who can obey his commands at will, rather than four-finger creators who are self-assured about their strength and status.

Four-Finger Creators already enjoy extremely high social status, and such people find it difficult to give up their freedom and be at the beck and call of others.

If Wu Qing hadn't been being hunted down by the established powers of Snowcasting City, he wouldn't have been willing to sacrifice his freedom to join the ranks of a chosen one when he accepted Zhao Kai's invitation.

Of course, this was without Wu Qing knowing that Zhong Yi was a healing-type chosen one.

If Wu Qing knew, even if he didn't agree immediately, he would most likely be conflicted.

After a whole day of commotion at the Creators' Guild, Zhong Yi and Tao En brought back a total of fifty three-fingered creator apprentices.

These three-finger crafting apprentices lived in the front of the Zhongyi Mansion, in the palaces separated by the Plum Blossom Forest.

They were each controlled by Tao En through various means.

Unlike Zhao Kai, who used beast taming to control his apprentice creators, Tao En directly used his powerful soul force to imprint marks on the souls of these apprentice creators.
