God of Pets

Chapter 501 Going against the ancestor’s decision

"Brother Zi is indeed a man of great righteousness. We should all thank you for our lives. Brother Zi, how can we summon the Four Senses Spirits?" Jiang Sanxin urged Chen Guan to reveal the method, fearing that he might change his mind.

"I wouldn't call it a noble cause, but it's something I have to do. The method for a third-level cultivator to summon a fourth-level pet is the result of thousands of years of research by my ancestors, which has taken countless efforts and the lives of countless generations. Originally, my family had a rule that this secret method must never be revealed under any circumstances."

"But in this situation, if I don't speak up, it would be disregarding everyone. Although I am just an ordinary person with neither the responsibility nor the ability to be responsible for those of you from prestigious families, I would feel truly guilty if I couldn't contribute my own strength."

"Therefore, I will make a decision today that goes against the traditions of our ancestors, and I will tell you all about this method."

"Brother Zi is so righteous!" Chu Jianfeng exclaimed.

"However, I also have a small request," Chen Guan said, seemingly embarrassed.

"Of course, Brother Zi, please speak. As long as we can do it, we will not let you down." Jiang Sanxin just wanted Chen Guan to tell her the method as soon as possible.

"So many people in our family have devoted so much effort to researching this secret method. We don't ask for great fortune or wealth, but we hope to leave something for our descendants so that they won't have to suffer the same hardships and pains as we did. Don't you agree?"

"Of course," Jiang Sanxin said somewhat reluctantly, sensing that something was amiss.

"The hearts of parents are all the same. Our ancestors sacrificed their lives for us, their descendants, and paved the way for us. I am proud and honored to have such ancestors, and I have been determined since childhood to become like them, burning myself out for the benefit of future generations."

The expressions on everyone's faces began to turn strange. They stared blankly at Chen Guan, none of them saying a word, their thoughts unknown.

“I, Zi Donglai, have made this decision today, which goes against the ancestors’ wishes. It is tantamount to cutting off the path for future generations. It is already a grave sin. But for everyone’s sake, for all of us, I am willing to bear this sin, and I will bear it willingly.”

"Heroes shed blood but not tears. We can't let them feel disheartened and make them bleed and weep. Don't you agree?"

Seeing that no one answered him, Chen Guan didn't care and continued to speak: "I have cut off the main road for the younger generation, so I must leave them a small path, so that they can at least see some hope in the future."

"I wonder what you intend to do with this path?" Jiang Sanxin's expression had turned cold. He had already figured it out; Zi Donglai's skin was even thicker than his own, and it was impossible for him to morally blackmail him.

In just a few words, they've already seized the moral high ground several times.

"For everyone's sake, I will immediately offer up the secret technique. All I need to do is leave a small divine pet for my descendants. Is my small request too much? The hard work of so many generations of my family over thousands of years, exchanging it for a small pet, is that too much to ask?" Chen Guan said to Jiang Sanxin with sincere eyes.

Jiang Sanxin was so angry she wanted to curse: "This guy is even more shameless than me! He doesn't even know what that secret technique is all about, and he already wants a secret god pet! Bah!"

“Young Master Qin…Is my request too much? I’m not doing this for myself, I just want to leave a way for my descendants. We can suffer ourselves, but we can’t let our children suffer, right?” Chen Guan said, looking at Qin Qiu.

“That makes sense,” Qin Qiu said with a smile. “However, I’m not interested in your family’s secret techniques. You can ask whoever is interested.”

"Young Master Jiang?" Chen Guan looked at Jiang Sanxin again.

Jiang Sanxin suppressed her frustration and said, "The Mystic Pet is a family heirloom, and I have no right to exchange it."

“Young Master Jiang, I have brought out all the secret techniques passed down through my family. Does that mean the Jiang family’s heritage is a heritage, but my family’s heritage is not?” Chen Guan said calmly.

“Pets and secret techniques are different. You can only have one pet, but you can use a secret technique indefinitely. You can continue to use it even if you tell me, so there is no real loss,” Jiang Sanxin said coldly.

"Since pets are so important, more useful than secret techniques, then you should use your pets to save everyone. Why use my useless secret techniques?" Chen Guan's voice turned cold.

Jiang Sanxin couldn't think of anything to say for a moment and fell silent. Chen Guan looked at Shang Tianyin, who said, "We merchants have always believed in fair trade. Brother Zi's suggestion is very fair. If you want the secret technique, you have to pay the corresponding price. This is the primary principle of fair trade. However, I am not interested in that secret technique. Why don't you ask someone else?"

"I'm not interested either." Before Chen Guan could ask, Chu Jianfeng shook his head.

They were all very interested, of course, but it was absolutely impossible for them to exchange it for the Mystic God.

The main reason was Chen Guan's attitude, which made them doubt the effectiveness of the secret technique. They suspected it might be heavily restricted and unusable.

Even if it can be used, it's not worth it if the cost is too high.

If that secret technique had no restrictions and allowed cultivators at the third level of enlightenment to use pets from grotto-heavens or great grotto-heavens, they would be willing to exchange it for anything, even if it meant paying twice as much.

If there are too many restrictions, and it might only be applicable to summoning fourth-awakening spirit pets after the third awakening, then the value of this thing will be greatly reduced.

If there are any other restrictions, it will be even less valuable.

Even though Chen Guan is willing to trade with them now, they don't dare to. The price of a Mystic God pet is simply too high.

"If you all have thought it through and changed your minds to want to exchange secret techniques with me, you can come to me anytime. I'll excuse myself now." Chen Guan stood up and left the council hall with Teng Mingli.

They arrived at a huge warehouse, where the red bear carcasses that Gong Mingwang and his men had brought back were stored.

After dismissing Gong Mingwang and the others, Teng Mingli guarded the gate. Once the gate was closed, only Chen Guan remained in the large warehouse.

After confirming that no one was watching, Chen Guan summoned Zhan Guo, Yan Zhi, and Gui Yan, and sent them to eat the red bear's corpse.

This is flesh and blood at the level of a Mystic God, so it will definitely be of great help to them.

Rouge walked over and slashed at the red bear's artery. The secret spirit's blood didn't coagulate so easily and spurted out directly.

The blood-sucking knife immediately absorbed the blood, and streams of crimson blood flowed into Rouge's body.

Ghost Eye went up and started tearing at bones and meat, eating with great relish.

Sengoku took two bites but found it couldn't bite through. After circling around a few times, it ran to the wound on the red bear's head, crawled inside, and then disappeared without a trace, not coming out for a long time.

Chen Guan was afraid something might happen to this thing. After all, the red bear was a mysterious spirit, and even after death, its body might still have some mechanisms that could kill any creature that coveted its flesh and blood.

The Warring States period was too weak; it would be difficult for them to resist.

Chen Guan arrived at the red bear's ear hole, where the evil spirit's blood sword had drilled a huge hole in its brain, allowing a direct view to the other side.

Chen Guan looked inside but didn't find Zhan Guo, so he went in. Soon he found Zhan Guo in a corner of his head. The guy's four hooves were holding a red jade ball the size of a stone block and licking it.

"Red bear's inner core?" Chen Guan's eyes lit up immediately.
