Genius Beast Taming: Starting from Awakening an S-Rank Talent

Whether it is the spirit of a blessed land, the spirit of a grotto-heaven, the spirit of a plane, or the spirit of a holy realm, they are not truly living people in essence.

Although the higher the level, the more complete the memories retained, the higher the intelligence, and the longer the time that can be spent with the living, each appearance in front of the living is time-limited and requires energy consumption.

Therefore, most of the time, these spirits of realms will hide deep within the realms opened up by their respective beasts in their previous lives, and slumber there.

Zhou Heng silently stepped forward and lit three incense sticks for his second senior sister's ancestral tablet.

Fourth Senior Brother Rongtu Wang followed closely behind and also lit three incense sticks.

The remaining four apprentices followed suit in the same manner.

After Zhou Heng and his entourage left the ancestral hall, the four elders of the Yi family of the Crane had already arranged a welcoming banquet for them.

Zhou Heng and the others naturally did not refuse.

The welcoming banquet was held in the most magnificent reception hall of the Yi family of the Crane Sect. Zhou Heng and his fourth senior brother, Rong Tu Wang, sat in the main seats, accompanied by four junior disciples and four seventh-level feudal lord beast tamers from the Yi family of the Crane Sect.

Further down, those seated were all sixth-tier commanders/beast tamers.

"Young Alliance Leader, Fourteenth Elder, and four seniors, the presence of all six of you at Liuyun Cave Heaven today is truly a great honor for our Immortal Crane Yi Clan! On behalf of all the members of the Immortal Crane Yi Clan, we, the four juniors, would like to offer you six three cups! Please feel free to drink as you please, we'll drink it all." The First Ancestor of the Immortal Crane Yi Clan was a white-haired old man who appeared to be over seventy years old.

As soon as he finished speaking, the other seventh-level beast tamers from the Yi family of the Crane Sect picked up their wine cups and downed three cups in a row.

Seeing this, Zhou Heng and the others also raised their glasses to show respect, but all six of them only drank one cup.

"Your Excellency, the Young Alliance Leader and the Fourteenth Elder, are of great importance and have graced our humble home with your presence today, bestowing upon our Immortal Crane Yi Family unparalleled honor. We would like to offer you three more cups of wine!" The four patriarchs of the Immortal Crane Yi Family raised their wine cups once more, offering a distant toast to Zhou Heng and their fourth senior brother, Rong Tu Wang, before downing three cups in succession.

This time, Zhou Heng and his fourth senior brother, Rong Tu Wang, merely picked up their wine cups, touched their lips slightly, and then put them down.

"The Yi family of the Immortal Crane is the family left behind by Second Senior Sister. You are her descendants, so there's no need for such formalities in front of us." Zhou Heng always wore a gentle and refined smile.

The first patriarch of the Yi family, the Crane Immortal, has excellent acting skills; he can shed tears at will.

His eyes held just the right amount of tears: "Thank you for your kindness, Young Alliance Leader! We are just too moved. It has been two hundred years since Ancestor Danguang passed away, yet you two still remember Ancestor Danguang and our Immortal Crane Yi family. Such deep affection and righteousness are something we can never repay even in a thousand years."

Zhou Heng's smile became even more appropriate: "Not only are we concerned about Second Senior Sister, but Master is also concerned about her. This time, it was Master who sent us here."

The First Ancestor of the Immortal Crane Yi Clan immediately knelt down and kowtowed towards the direction of the majestic ancient star: "The Supreme Alliance Leader's kindness to us is as deep as the sea! We are eternally grateful!"

The rest of the Yi family members followed suit, bowing in the direction of the majestic ancient star.

Zhou Heng said gently, "We came here this time to see if there's anything we can help you with. If so, please feel free to speak up. We will definitely help in any way we can."

The First Ancestor of the Crane Yi Clan took a while to get up from the ground, appearing tactful and well-behaved: "Thank you for your kindness, Young Alliance Leader! Thanks to the karmic connection between Ancestor Dan Guang and the Supreme Alliance Leader, although our Crane Yi Clan hasn't produced another eighth-tier Monarch Beast Tamer in recent years, we haven't continued to decline either, and have managed to maintain our position among the smaller aristocratic families. Moreover, we have already received too many favors, so it's really inappropriate for us to ask for anything more."

Zhou Heng and his fourth senior brother, Rong Tu Wang, exchanged a glance and, as they had agreed beforehand, tossed out a large pile of rare and precious materials.

Most of these rare and precious materials are of the sixth rank, numbering over 30,000, with a smaller number of those of the seventh rank, numbering over 500. These are exactly what the Yi family of the Immortal Crane can use now.

Fourth Senior Brother Rongtu Wang is an eighth-tier monarch beast tamer who has accumulated a considerable amount of high-level resources.

With the support of the Zhou and Li families, the Four Religions and Three Societies offering him many resources, and the Xuan Chen Supreme giving him even more high-level resources, Zhou Heng had even more high-level resources at his disposal.

The resources presented to the four patriarchs of the Yi family were but a drop in the ocean for Zhou Heng and his fourth senior brother, Rong Tu Wang.

However, for the Yi family of the Crane, it was not a small amount.

Thirty thousand types of Tier 6 resources and five hundred types of Tier 7 resources are enough for a high-tier Diamond-quality beast to undergo several evolution rituals to reach the lower-tier Overlord quality.

With good luck and an S-level talent, the Yi family might be able to produce another seventh-tier noble beast tamer in the future.

The four patriarchs of the Yi family knelt on the ground once more: "Thank you, Young Alliance Leader! Thank you, Fourteenth Elder! We cannot accept such gifts without having done so much; we are truly unworthy of these rare and precious treasures!"

Zhou Heng insisted, "We cannot refuse gifts from our elders. If you still consider us your elders, please accept these things quickly and stop making excuses."

The First Ancestor of the Immortal Crane Yi Family showed a look of shame: "As juniors, we should have offered some rare and precious treasures to our elders, but instead, we have caused the Young Alliance Leader and the Fourteenth Elder to spend so much money..."

Fourth Senior Brother Rongtu Wang said impatiently, "Alright, enough with the unnecessary nonsense. As long as you have the will, that's enough."

"Thank you, Little Alliance Leader! Thank you, Fourteenth Elder!" The four seventh-rank beast tamers of the Crane Yi family bowed again before putting away all the rare and precious materials that Zhou Heng and his fourth senior brother, Rong Tu Wang, had brought out.

At the banquet that followed, the four of them flattered Zhou Heng and their fourth senior brother, Rong Tu Wang, even more diligently, behaving like obedient juniors.

When the banquet ended and Zhou Heng and the others were about to take their leave, the four seventh-rank noble beast tamers from the Yi family of the Crane Sect were very reluctant to part with them and earnestly invited them to stay in the Flowing Cloud Cave for a few more days.

Zhou Heng and the others did not budge and insisted on taking their leave.

Left with no other choice, the four seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamers of the Crane Yi family, along with a group of sixth-tier commander beast tamers from the Crane Yi family, solemnly escorted Zhou Heng and the others out of the Flowing Cloud Cave.

Zhou Heng said, "Alright, that's enough for now! You can go back now."

As soon as he finished speaking, without giving the members of the Yi family a chance to continue their rambling, he directly shared the powerful skills of the Star-Devouring Kunpeng and disappeared from the spot with his fourth senior brother, Rongtu Wang, and the others.

"Respectfully bidding farewell to our esteemed seniors!" Upon seeing this, the members of the Yi family of the Crane Clan all prostrated themselves in respect and gave a grand send-off.

Only after Zhou Heng and the others had completely disappeared from sight did the members of the Yi family of the Crane Clan slowly get up.
