Beast Taming, my intelligence updates daily.

Chapter 499 Ye Bai's New Mission
With Ye Bai and Lan Fa joining forces, the agents from the United States suffered repeated failures.

Ye Bai gathered all the exceptionally talented individuals from Yan Kingdom in the capital.

Ye Bai directly suggested that the Imperial University of Beijing open a special class for gifted children.

Following Su Qingxian's application and the marshals' approval, the first class of gifted children was officially launched.

The parents of these students were overjoyed to hear that their children had been admitted to the gifted youth program at Beijing Capital University.

Here, they can enjoy the best high school education.

Furthermore, Ye Bai has also formulated many policies, one of which is a policy that excites parents: the most outstanding students can be admitted to Imperial University without taking the entrance exam.

When their children have a promising future, parents naturally won't say much.

Su Qingxian looked at Ye Bai with a half-smile: "You've really made a name for yourself this time. If America knew what you've done, they wouldn't let it go."

"However, this time, you've also given me a difficult problem."

"Your special program for gifted children has a bit too many students."

"There are also problems with the staff's food and accommodation. Imperial University has no vacant dormitories."

"We can provide some classrooms."

Su Qingxian said with a hint of resentment.

"Since you proposed the gifted youth program and you became famous at a young age, why don't you be the first teacher of gifted youth program to teach cultivation science?"

“I know you’ll be very busy with your upcoming missions, but you can’t neglect your training too much.”

"It's a good opportunity to summarize your insights and experiences through lectures."

"Ye Bai, you became famous at a young age, so I hope that all students will take you as an example and contribute to the Yan Kingdom."

“We are getting old and don’t know how long we can continue to support you, so I hope you can hold on.”

The talent awakening ceremony concluded in just one day.

Ye Bai's reforms have yielded remarkable results.

Beast taming resources are no longer shared equally among everyone; instead, they are allocated appropriately based on everyone's different abilities.

If a student shows talent for improvement, there's no need to hide it. As long as they can prove that they have indeed improved, they will not only receive a cash reward but also receive strong support from the school.

A positive trend has begun to emerge.

However, in the process, it also touched the interests of many people, who complained one after another, but the marshals suppressed them.

Marshal Huanglong proposed holding a small meeting.

"There is only one purpose for calling everyone here for this meeting."

"Ye Bai's reforms this time have touched the big cakes of many people."

“We have received quite a few complaints.”

"Now we need to draw a line and determine how we should treat those aristocratic families."

Some powerful families in Yan Kingdom have eighth-level experts, and these families are also disobedient.

However, with the United States eyeing them covetously from the outside and underground organizations stirring up trouble from within, the marshals always kept one eye open.

These powerful families not only failed to make any significant contributions to the Yan Kingdom, but instead acted arrogantly and domineeringly, which greatly angered the marshals.

"Originally, we planned to deal with these aristocratic family issues after the Great Battle of Poseidon Abyss."

"However, seeing the aristocratic families jumping around like grasshoppers, in order to avoid us being attacked from both sides in the Battle of the Sea God Abyss, I suggest that we weaken the influence of the aristocratic families in advance."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid it will cause some serious consequences."

Marshal Huanglong shared his insights.

"I agree with Huanglong's point of view, but we don't have enough manpower right now."

"I really can't get it out."

"If you let Ye Bai handle this matter, he'll probably give you a dirty look."

"Let the child go."

Marshal Qilin joked.

"Do you have any candidates you can recommend?"

"We need people with both strong execution skills and strong capabilities."

"There are really very few people. If only the former Kui Mulang were here."

"He was the most likely person to become one of the Twelve Pillars of the Nation."

"And so is Xinyuehu."

"They disappeared without a trace."

"Zhang Tianan is Xin Yuehu's younger sister. Her strength has reached the seventh level, and Xin Yuehu's talent is even more terrifying."

At this moment, Marshal Suzaku asked curiously, "I remember that Xin Yuehu perished in her struggle against the Blood Saint, didn't she?"

Marshal Qinglong shook his head: "Xin Yuehu's body has mysteriously disappeared."

"Moreover, it is still unclear whether Xin Yuehu is dead or alive, and some of Xin Huzan's memories have been erased."

"Even when I made my move, all I saw was a dark figure walking towards Xin Yuehu.

"Then the scene completely disappeared."

Marshal Qinglong is skilled at manipulating souls; he can read the memories of Soul Weapons.

According to him, Xin Yuehu's body disappeared suddenly.

There is still a chance that Xin Yuehu will live or be turned into an undead.

"I now have a suspicion that the Mao family in the southwest took away Xinyuehu's body."

"The Mao family is skilled in Taoist magic and corpse refining and exorcism."

"The Rooster reports that the situation at the Sea God Abyss can hold out for a while longer, so let Ye Bai go there."

"Firstly, to help obtain the five Beidou Soul Weapons and find new hosts; secondly, Ye Bai rarely appears in front of those old guys."

"So I think Ye Bai is the most suitable person to go."

"After all, those old guys recognize the Twelve Pillars of the Nation, but who knows who the new Big Dipper is?"

With just a few words, Marshal Qinglong decided on Ye Bai's next destination.

"What? You want me to secretly investigate the Mao family in the Southwest?"

"Do we still need to investigate the whereabouts of the former Kui Mulang and Xin Yuehu?"

Ye Bai was speechless.

The orders from above are like April rain—they change in an instant, giving no time to react.

"That's not good."

"Didn't we already agree that I would go and replace the Rooster Town Pillar?"

"To be honest, I want to rest."

Ye Bai indeed held multiple positions, he complained to his superior, Marshal Huanglong.

"Haha, once you've completed this mission, I'll definitely give you plenty of rest time."

Marshal Huanglong was practically ready to swear an oath to heaven and earth.

"alright."

When Marshal Huanglong heard Ye Bai's reluctant expression, his eyes widened immediately: "Don't be ungrateful."

"The Mao family has a lot of treasures hidden away. That old fellow Mao Dong is a well-known collector."

"He might even have several of the Thousand Dragon Slash swords."

"By the way, since you're going to the Mao family in the southwest..."

"On the way back to the city, we will pass through other counties where this great tomb is sealed. The kings and nobles inside have collected many Ten Thousand Dragon Slayers. If you are interested, you can go to the tomb."

"And while you're at it, kill that old zombie too."

Ye Bai was speechless.

By the way.

What does "by the way" mean?

The old zombie in that big tomb, even a fool would know it's at least level seven.

Although the True Goddess of Light form of the Butterfly of Eternal Transformation and the Holy Light of the Sunflower Fairy can cause great harm to the Old Zongzi.

However, large tombs usually contain intricate mazes and numerous traps. If it weren't for the Ten Thousand Dragons Slash, Ye Bai wouldn't be willing to do something so strenuous and thankless.

Mao Family in Southwest China.

The Zongzi Tomb.

Help Beidou's Soul Weapons find suitable candidates.

None of these tasks are easy.

At this moment, Marshal Huanglong took out another golden token.

"Since you're going to the southwest anyway, and you're already there, just continue with your patrol duties."

After Marshal Huanglong finished speaking, he dared not look Ye Bai in the eye, threw the token into Ye Bai's hand, and then his figure disappeared on the spot.

Ye Bai was so angry he almost laughed.

"Great, they're taking advantage of me."

"Alright, since you've entrusted me with the patrol mission, I'd be doing myself a disservice if I didn't make a big splash."

Mao Family in Southwest China.

The Mao family has a special city of corpses.

Coffins made of paulownia wood are placed everywhere, and many zombies with yellow talismans pasted on them are busy at work.

Apart from their stiff bodies, pale faces, and long, slender fingers, they are not much different from normal people.

To get rid of the stench of corpses, the Mao family even specially researched a zombie cologne.

These zombies are dressed in all sorts of ways. The Mao family loves to dig up large tombs, especially ancient ones.

At this moment, Mao Shiba, the builder of the Corpse City, stood up from the coffin made of golden nanmu wood.

He was dressed in a dragon robe, with yellow talismans pasted on his body. His body was not much different from that of a normal person, except that his joints made a cracking sound when they turned.

A group of Mao family members watched as Mao Shiba skipped and hopped past them, landing on the pure gold throne.

"Speak, what is it that has awakened me from my slumber?"

"Didn't I tell you? I'm at a crucial moment right now. Don't bother me unless it's absolutely necessary!!!"

A soul-shaking sound emanated from Mao Shiba's soul.

Everyone felt a terrifying pressure, like a mountain, and immediately bowed their heads in worship: "Congratulations, Ancestor, on your great progress in divine skills, and may you live as long as the heavens."

"Alright, alright, stop flattering me and just tell me what's going on."

"Why did you wake me up in such a hurry?"

At this moment, the head of the Mao family hurriedly said, "Ancestor, I am your great-great-great-grandson, Mao Twenty-Eight."

"We've received intelligence that the higher-ups are preparing to send an inspection team to collect evidence of the Mao family's crimes and to take action against us."

"Ancestor, should we strike first?"

Mao Shiba's sharp eyes stared intently at the head of the Mao family.

"Did a zombie eat your brain?"

"How could you ask such a stupid question?"

"The inspection team has the power to reach the highest levels of government. If we make a move against any member of the inspection team, we won't be afraid of attracting the attention of the marshals."

"Don't even mention sending a marshal, even if you send any one of the Twelve Pillars of the Nation, the entire Corpse City could be razed to the ground."

“I can escape with the corpses of your ancestors, or I can turn you into zombies and leave this place.”

"However, the roots of our Mao family are in Corpse City, and our ancestral graves are also in Corpse City."

"Therefore, we will not leave here easily."

"Moreover, the members of the inspection team are all at least seventh-level experts. Unless I take action myself, none of you will be his match."

"That's it. Hide the evidence of our illegal and criminal activities, and keep a low profile for now."

"If I find out who is hindering us, I will personally take action and turn them into zombie servants."

"At that time, your consciousness will be imprisoned in the body of a zombie, unable to live or die."

There weren't any major requirements for this inspection mission.

Therefore, Ye Bai forced Lan Fa and Yun Luo to form a team under the pretext of training their abilities.

Suffering should not be limited to just one child. If the pain could be equally distributed among everyone, Ye Bai would be very happy to do so.

Feel the bitterness from the world.

Feel the malice from the world.

However, Yunluo and Lanfa's expressions were quite calm, because they were unaware of what awaited them.

"Orchid hair, clouds fall."

"I'm giving you a task this time: to focus on developing your talents."

"Marshal Huanglong has high hopes for you. Let me see how I can help you awaken your talents."

In fact, there is only one person who truly needs to awaken their talent, and that is Lanfa.

Yunluo's original talent was that her words could become law, which was already the highest level of talent.

Once Yunluo's physical strength improves, her talent can be fully realized.

"Yunluo, these are all the potions I've prepared. You should take one bottle every day."

"Gradually, the factors that restrict your talent will disappear."

"Lanfa, if you want to awaken your talent, you'll need to work even harder."

"You should understand what I mean."

"You must keep replicating rare and precious materials. The higher the level of the rare and precious materials, the more likely it is to deeply awaken your talent."

"Do you get me?"

"As for the crystal cores, you don't need to worry at all. I have many low-level crystal cores here, which can be completely converted into your power."

"If your talents can be deeply awakened, you will be personally summoned by the marshals."

At this moment, the Northern Star Wolf Blade suddenly emerged from the Beast Taming Space.

An abacus, as beautiful as a pearl, suddenly appeared and possessed Lanfa's body.

"What's Ye Bai doing?"

Lanfa's mind raced as he heard the sound of an abacus clicking.

"This is Lu Cun's abacus."

"The soul artifact of Lu Cun star of the Big Dipper."

"I never expected you to be the one suited for the Lu Cun Star. Why didn't the Lu Cun Abacus work back then?"

Lanfa was also next to Yunluo, and Beichen Tianlang Blade also appeared, but Lucun Abacus did not react at all.

So where exactly did the problem go wrong?

Ye Bai felt that if they could figure out where the problem was, it would be worthwhile.

Finding suitable candidates for the remaining four Horcruxes will be much easier.

"Lanfa, have you changed at all lately?"

Ye Bai asked curiously.

"Changes, there have been, haven't there?"

"I've broken through to the seventh rank, is that considered a change?"

Lanfa asked curiously.

The matter is settled, which can be deduced from the scene where Beichen Tianlang Blade made a contract with me.

The seven soul artifacts of the Big Dipper must be at least at the seventh rank to be used.

Lanfa reached the seventh level, so the Lu Cun Abacus appeared on its own initiative.

No wonder we couldn't find suitable candidates for Horcruxes before; it turns out they weren't good enough.

Ye Bai quickly informed Marshal Huanglong of this discovery and stated that he had found another suitable candidate.

That person is Lanfa.
