Starting with the Broken-Winged Frost Butterfly: Beast Taming

pity.

Daydreaming is unrealistic.

With the current sealing card technology, it is difficult to capture beasts. Gambling on a success rate of only one percent is simply not worth it.

"Uncle Liang, if you like, why don't you try to make a contract with him?"

"Huh?" Liang Baizhou was stunned. "Give it to me? You don't want it?"

This is an even more precious weapon beast than a rare B-grade one!

Why did Master Zhu look down on him and pass the buck to him instead?

If other people knew this, wouldn't they be kicking themselves and filled with envy and jealousy?

"Killing them directly would be a terrible waste."

"If you don't want it either, I'll have to freeze Xuexi into an ice block and try to forcibly take her out of the secret realm."

"No way! This fan is fire-elemental. Even if it's essentially a weapon beast, if it's frozen at low temperatures for a month... will it still survive?"

Liang Baizhou's face was full of reluctance.

Two million, fire element, weapon beast, domain talent.

Even after collecting all these labels, only Master Zhu remained unmoved; he treasured them dearly.

contract!

A contract is essential!

Although the journey to the secret realm has only just begun.

But a pet of this quality is more precious than a fire lion elephant; if you miss it, you might regret it for the rest of your life.

Liang Baizhou manifests his life card.

Just like the sealing card, he aimed one side at the Black Flame Banana Fan and continuously poured in his spiritual power.

"Buzzing—"

The Black Flame Banana Leaf Fan struggled violently.

If it were Zhu Ran who made the contract, it would probably be successful in no time.

But how could Liang Baizhou, someone who got something for nothing, gain the approval of the Black Flame Banana Fan?

"Master Fan, aren't you getting on in years? Why haven't you become wise yet? Don't be a stubborn fool. If you don't bind your life to mine, whether you can even get out of here alive is a question..."

Grandpa Liang's verbal skills are as lackluster as ever.

The Black Flame Banana Leaf Fan naturally refused to buy it.

In the end, all that talking and talking was less effective than Xuexi poking around with a few ice picks.

"Clang!"

The Black Flame Banana Leaf Fan struggled and resisted.

Xuexi got excited and transformed into Rong Momo, poking, poking, poking, poking, poking!

Black Flame Banana Leaf Fan: o(*≧д≦)o!!

What did I do to deserve this?

We were perfectly fine at home, and then disaster struck out of nowhere. Who can we complain to?

Xuexi: ⎚‸⎚

Are you breathing on me again?

Believe it or not, I'll tear your fan apart!

……

They trained him until evening.

Liang Baizhou got his wish and obtained the Black Flame Banana Leaf Fan.

Binding a life contract takes far less time than sealing a card, but the amount of soul power consumed is equally enormous.

Liang Baizhou drank another bottle of mental supplement.

"Master Armor, Master Fan, hehehehe."

Sitting on the back of the steel giraffe, gazing at the black flame banana leaf fan floating in the air, Grandpa Liang grinned foolishly.

We have muskets, now we need cannons too!

Following Master Zhu means you can eat meat!

When you get back to school, just grab any junior or senior and ask them if they're not envious!

Liang Baizhou was lost in thought.

Zhu Ran is currently ransacking the house.

Why does the Black Flame Banana Leaf Fan choose to stay here, instead of anywhere else?

Why are there no fissures in the ground elsewhere, but here there are more than a dozen potholes?

There's a problem; I need to verify the license plate.

Zhu Ran ordered Xue Xi to extinguish the flames.

He then directed Haha to dig a tunnel.

When the surface layer was removed, three meters underground, the entire soil layer was filled with dark red crystals.

It's actually a Fire Vengeance Stone?

This mineral, rich in fire element, sells for over a hundred yuan per kilogram, and there's at least a ton of it here!

If we mine everything, we'll make a million dollars for free!

"I can only look at it, but I can't take it with me. It's really frustrating."

Liang Baizhou stared wide-eyed, feeling a pang of disappointment.

Ore mining is both a technical and physically demanding job.

What's more troublesome is that they can't be transported.

We can't be penny-wise and pound-foolish. Hercules Frog, Whitebeard Goblin, Steel Giraffe... Let's drop our luggage and focus on this mine.

"There's something else... wait, the remains of soldiers and beasts?"

At the bottom of a crevice, Xuexi scooped up a pile of "scrap metal".

Among them were chipped longswords, cracked bronze swords, broken spears... all generally rusted and lifeless, devoid of any sign of life.

Zhu Ran carefully examined it.

Among the remnants of the army, two items stood out as particularly unusual.

A broken spear, missing its tip and broken into three pieces, still retained a strong malevolent aura, suggesting it had recently been killed.

A boxing glove, outwardly 70% new, but riddled with holes inside, exuding a ferocious aura, like a lurking beast ready to pounce at any moment.

"They're valuable and don't take up much space, I'll take them all."

This is the first time Zhu Ran has opened a shop since entering the secret realm.

He looked relaxed, a faint joy spreading through his heart.

Just as the group was preparing to leave.

The leaky turtle roared and stomped on a rock formation.

"Hmm? Tun Tun has made a new discovery?"

Zhu Ran recalled that the Leaky Turtle possessed the talent of "electromagnetic detection waves," making it naturally adept at treasure hunting.

"Haha, hurry up and dig! Everyone who finds it gets a share!"

The husky immediately stomped hard, its sharp tusks aimed at the rock strata.

The momentum was like a high-speed rotating impact drill, sending rocks flying and wild beasts clearing the way.

"There really is something!"

"That's... a cauldron?"

Soon, Zhu Ran's expression changed, and he stared into the depths of the pit, his words stammering.

The tripod is one meter tall, square in shape, and its body appears to be cast from black iron with a dark color.

Its surface is devoid of elaborate patterns, with only a few simple engravings extending along the wall of the cauldron. At first glance, it appears plain and unremarkable, but upon closer inspection, it exudes an ancient charm and possesses a magnificent aura.

"Could it be the 'Gathering Yuan Cauldron'?"

Liang Baizhou took out his phone, opened the offline interface of the encyclopedia app, and manually searched for "Ding-shaped Beast".

Among the various patterns that emerge, most are three-legged round tripods, with conical legs and upright handles, and the body of the tripod is mainly decorated with animal face patterns.

But if you flip down a few pages, you'll find a weapon or beast marked "Juyuan Ding" that looks exactly like the small square ding you see before you.

"It really is the Gathering Yuan Cauldron; no wonder it looked familiar."

Liang Baizhou stood frozen, his eyes shining brightly, his breathing rapid.

"The Gathering Yuan Cauldron, a mature B-grade weapon beast, is not good at combat or defense. Its core talent is 'Gathering Yuan of Heaven and Earth.' The place where the cauldron stands is equivalent to a natural spirit-gathering array, which can help the beast grow faster and increase the probability of positive mutations in its offspring..."

Zhu Ran recited the entire information about the Gathering Yuan Cauldron, a look of regret on his face.

"If it's alive, we must take it away at all costs."

"The remains of the dead... are worth less than a tenth or a twelfth of their value, what a pity."

"Yes, the cauldron wasn't broken, so how could it have died?"

Liang Baizhou nodded in agreement, muttering, "Aren't the lifespans of military beasts often two or three hundred years? How likely is it that they'll die of old age naturally?"

Even Qin Taozhi, gazing at this square cauldron, was momentarily dazed.

The legend says that one cauldron can sustain an entire clan, referring to the Gathering Origin Cauldron.

Wild beast herds, if aided by the Gathering Yuan Cauldron, will multiply and thrive, producing many powerful individuals. A hundred years is enough for the entire herd to leapfrog a small social class, establish dominance over the mountains and forests, and gradually expand its scale.

If a human race receives the assistance of the Gathering Yuan Cauldron, a family will have a solid foundation, and the place where the cauldron is located will become their ancestral land, where their descendants will enjoy abundant blessings.

pity.

He died just like that.

Qin Taozhi took a light breath, her fingertips tightened, she took half a step forward, and a determined glint appeared in her eyes.

"Name your price, I'll take this cauldron!"
