Family Cultivation: Rise of the Wilderness

Chapter 162 Recruiting Beast Tamers

In Pushui Market, a restaurant called "Purple Qi Comes from the East" has attracted many customers.

"Did you hear that?"

"what?"

"The Li family of Dangui Mountain is recruiting beast tamers!"

In a corner of the restaurant, someone was muttering mysteriously.

"Hey, I thought it was something new. There are plenty of families that recruit beast tamers."

A middle-aged scholar of medium build and slightly thin, with a yellow turban wrapped around his forehead, picked up some food and looked unimpressed.

"That's different. As long as you pass the Li family's test, you'll get spirit stones regardless of whether you're selected or not."

"really?"

The middle-aged scholar looked up and asked, "How many spirit stones can I take?"

"You can get 2 spirit stones after passing the second level, 3 spirit stones after the third level, and 5 spirit stones after the fourth level. Each level is calculated independently. If someone passes all the levels, they can get a full 10 spirit stones. This does not include the benefits given by the Li family."

"10 Spiritual Stones!"

The middle-aged scholar gasped.

"That's right, and the test is very simple. Even Liao Huazi from East Street could pass two rounds. Isn't this just giving away spirit stones for free?"

What will be assessed?

"I only heard this secondhand. It is said that the first challenge is to treat a monster, the second challenge is to calm down a violent monster, the third challenge is to make the monster understand simple instructions within a time limit, and as for the fourth challenge, no one knows."

These are all normal assessment criteria for beast tamers.

The Li family did not make things difficult for anyone!

Thinking of this, the middle-aged scholar was intrigued, but he suppressed his thoughts and continued to ask, "What are the requirements for registration? What are the costs involved in the assessment process?"

"No conditions are required. Anyone who is a beast tamer can sign up, and the Li family will cover any expenses incurred in contacting the demon beasts."

At this point, the man's eyes lit up: "Brother Gong, you have real skills, at least much better than Liao Huazi. Why not give it a try? Perhaps you can enter the Li family of Danggui Mountain to cultivate."

Is it the Li family of Danggui Mountain?

The middle-aged cultivator hesitated for a moment. The Li family was far away in Pudong, which was quite different from what he had expected.

The man, observing the situation, immediately said, "Even if you don't pass the test, it's still good to get some spirit stones after passing a few rounds."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged cultivator nodded. In any case, he should give it a try for the sake of spirit stones.

"I finally managed to find out this news. Brother Gong, if you ever achieve great success in the Li family, please don't forget your younger brother."

"sure!"
-
Danggui General Store is where the Li family openly recruits beast tamers.

However, after the Li family raised their banner, they were basically ignored.

Even with Li Qianhe leveraging his years of influence in Pushuifang Market, and with Li Qianyuan and others running all over the east and west streets to promote the cause, the results were still mediocre.

Ultimately, in the eyes of outsiders, the Li family is far removed from the path of beast taming.

As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a good tree to perch on. In the market town of Pushui, the truly skilled beast tamers look down on the Li family.

However, Li Xianghong did not like those half-baked, misfit talents.

This creates an awkward situation—

The Li family has been in Pushui Market for seven or eight days, and they haven't been able to recruit even a single beast tamer.

Recruiting beast tamers is the task of the animal breeding department, not the responsibility of the animal trapping department.

Li Xiangming couldn't keep Li Xiangting and the others there indefinitely, so he gave Li Xianghong an idea.

He instructed Li Xianghong to categorize the assessment content into levels, significantly reducing the difficulty of the earlier stages.

As long as the Beast Tamer comes, you can pass the level and receive the spirit stones.

After the first few people received their spirit stones, the Li family quickly adjusted the difficulty of the assessment and simultaneously promoted the matter extensively in Pushui Market to build momentum for recruiting beast tamers.

In a short period of time, a large number of idle beast tamers visited the Angelica General Store in search of spirit stones.

Some people don't want the spirit stones; they just want to test their own skill level.

After all, everyone says that the Li family's beast tamer assessment is the simplest.

If you can't even pass the Li family's assessment, how can you go to another family? With this thought in mind, Dangui General Store was bustling with customers.

However, they were unaware that those supposedly "easy" levels had changed.

The lowest rank the Li family recruits is a mid-grade first-tier beast tamer.

According to this standard, more than 90% of beast tamers would fail.

They couldn't even get the two spirit stones from the second level.

In the grocery store, I watched as these people arrived with smiles on their faces, but left cursing and swearing.

Li Qianyuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Won't they accuse our Li family of false advertising?"

"You can't say that."

Li Xiangming curled his lips into a smile. "We never said the assessment was easy. It was the beast tamers themselves who said it was easy. Even if there was some false advertising involved, it was them who made the claim. We were just adding fuel to the fire."

"You're really cunning, kid."

Li Qianyuan sighed, but fortunately, Li Xiangming helped him devise a plan.

Although most of these people are useless.

However, because there were quite a few people who came, the Li family still managed to recruit two relatively outstanding beast tamers.

Based on current trends, the animal breeding facility is very likely to complete its mission within a month.

"Xiangming, Uncle Qianyuan!"

At this moment, a young man walked out of the tea room; it was Li Xiangqing.

"what happened?"

"This one is more serious. Xiang Hong asked me to notify you to go in."

"Oh?"

Li Xiangming and Li Qianyuan exchanged a glance and quickly stood up.

Before long, the two entered the tea room.

The interior had clearly been altered and was quite spacious. Besides beast tamers like Li Xianghong and guards like Li Xiangting, there was also a middle-aged cultivator dressed as a scholar.

"This man is named Gong Wan, and he has already passed three trials."

Li Xiangting quietly approached and introduced the situation in a low voice.

Three levels?
Li Xiangming was surprised. Unlike the initial laxity, the Li family's beast tamer assessment was now exceptionally rigorous.

Reaching the second level is enough to prove that the opponent is a true beast tamer.

Those who can pass the third level are definitely seasoned beast tamers, at least at the level of a mid-grade first-tier beast tamer.

This is also a key target for the Li family to recruit.

As for the fourth level, it's just a decoy.

Of course, if someone can actually pass the fourth level and join the Li family, it means that their beast-taming skills are already similar to Li Xianghong's, enough to earn them the Li family's favor.

The middle-aged scholar before me was making a full-fledged attempt to break through to the fourth level.

The fourth level is actually a combination of the first three levels. The beast tamer needs to heal an injured monster in a short time, comfort it, make it understand human speech, and finally use its skills to make it defeat another monster of the same level but in good health.

It sounds easy, but it's actually not simple at all.

Because there's a time limit!

Li Xianghong only gave Gong Wan one hour.

Li Xiangming himself was a beast tamer, but within an hour, the most he could do was prevent an unfamiliar monster from biting his fingers.

Thinking of this, Li Xiangming felt extremely ashamed.

Fortunately, he quickly adjusted his mindset; the art of beast taming that he was involved in was merely a hobby he pursued after hitting a bottleneck.

They are fundamentally different from professional beast tamers who specialize in this skill.

Soon, an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Gong Wan also completed the training of the demon beast in her hands.
