Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 11 Where are you touching?

Jealous!
The bull's head had turned away and was hiding in a corner, dusting itself off.

Lin Chen coughed dryly; there was no time to explain now.
Touching the beast is the priority.

"It's alright," Li Zaiqing said indifferently.

Qin Hao also had a good impression of Lin Chen, but still said, "I understand Brother Lin's quirks, but the Panlin Python is a clean freak."

The Scaled Python and Little White turned their heads at the same time.
The former looked at its dirty scales and wondered, "When did it become a germaphobe?"
It can even go a month without bathing. Do you think this snake is a clean freak?
Xiao Bai was pleasantly surprised; it seems that Niu Niu isn't the only beast in the world with obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness.

Although Lin Chen also had his doubts, he didn't seem to have any obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness.

But he didn't force anyone; these things require mutual consent.

"So," Qin Hao unexpectedly changed the subject, saying, "I have to pay more."

Lin Chen was sweating bullets. After some final haggling, he gave him twenty, which Li Zaiqing, who was standing next to him, found very incomprehensible.

Twenty is considered money?
He thought it would be a very high price.

However, for Lin Chen, although it was expensive, he did not want to miss the opportunity.

Both the Scaled Python and the Iron-Paw Bear were injured and covered in blood, so we could take advantage of the situation and steal them.

Moreover, Lin Chen also knew that cases like Xiaobai finding a bargain were extremely rare, and it was very difficult to come into contact with spirit beasts with better bloodlines.

After the transaction was completed, Lin Chen stepped forward and began to pet the bear.

He didn't pat the bear's head because he felt that such affectionate behavior should be reserved for Little White.
Otherwise, it would be very difficult to explain.

After the Bloodline Alchemy Technique took effect, the data was quickly displayed:
[Dominant bloodline: Iron Paw Bear 38.8%, Black Armor Bear 11.2%, Frost Bear 8.8%]

[Hidden bloodline: 11.2%]

[Contaminated bloodline: 30%]

Lin Chen's eyes lit up. This number was a bit exaggerated. Sure enough, in this world, you get what you pay for.

Without much thought, he slipped it onto the wound.
Hey, what are you doing?!
The Iron Paw Bear's wound was touched, and it stared wide-eyed in pain.

No, where are you touching?
Lin Chen quickly retracted his right hand, then walked to the Scaled Python and began to use his left hand.
I touched a handful of dust as soon as I made contact.

huh~~~
You call this being a germaphobe?
The dust on the street isn't as dusty as your scales.

Lin Chen stared at the dark scales, lost in thought, while data flashed through his mind:
Dominant bloodlines: Panlin Python 56.7%, Seven-Colored Python 22.3%, Tiangang Python 11%

[Hidden Bloodline: None]

[Contaminated bloodline: 21%]

With Lin Chen's intervention, the python's future was sealed by the two evolved spirit beasts before it, unless Qin Hao also possessed the Bloodline Golden Touch.

This is normal. Qin Hao's family is not well-off, so it's already quite good that they can afford a battle pet.

This time he didn't touch the wound, but looked at his dark palm and washed one of his hands.

The three then bowed and said goodbye.

"Brother Lin, leave your contact address. I can come find you for any missions next time," Qin Hao said proactively.

As an ordinary person, there is basically no chance to enter the academy, and Qin Hao also longs to communicate with his peers.

Lin Chen gave him his home address, and then the two said goodbye.

Watching Lin Chen leave, Qin Hao turned back to look at the Scaled Python and said, "How about I give you some special training too?"

The Scaled Python frowned.

"Look, you're not even as good as a cow now, you don't have the prestige of a battle pet at all."

"."

"Xiaobai, listen to me, things aren't as you think."

"Everything I've done is for our family." Lin Chen pondered his lines for a long time, trying to figure out how to comfort Xiao Bai, who was feeling hurt.

"Moo~~"

Unexpectedly, the little white calf next to him bellowed. Lin Chen turned around and saw the little white calf arch its nose and bellow a few more times.

It means:
Niu Niu knows that it's hard to change a habit, but he'll try not to touch other spirit beasts' heads in the future.

Lin Chen was taken aback, then patted Xiao Bai's head with his left hand.

Xiao Bai didn't close her eyes comfortably; instead, she kept staring intently at Lin Chen's hand.
It had been observing from the shadows and knew that Lin Chen had only washed one hand.

"Left hand, washed," Lin Chen said.

Little White then let out a brisk, enjoyable moo.

Upon returning home, Lin Chen immediately grabbed a container and preserved the dried blood.

Xiao Bai had only recently purified his bloodline, and 11.2% was too high; given Xiao Bai's cultivation level, he probably couldn't accept it yet.

Furthermore, Xiaobai only has nine chances left to succeed.

Lin Chen also thought that he might try to find items with even higher hidden bloodlines in the future.

Actually, before leaving, Lin Chen wanted to remind Li Zaiqing that the Iron Palm Bear was quite good, but then he thought better of it.

Beastmasters usually don't talk about their talents to outsiders. Lin Chen's words might arouse the other party's suspicions, and given Li Zaiqing's personality, he definitely wouldn't listen.

Moreover, Lin Chen and Li Zaiqing will inevitably not be on the same path in the future.

Li Residence
"What?! Lost to a cow?"

Li Gao, the head of the Li family, looked at Li Zaiqing in disbelief.

"Father, have we been deceived?" Li Zaiqing asked.

Back then, Li Gao spent 1.5 million yuan to have the manager of a sales store under the Li family find this Iron Palm Bear specifically for Li Zaiqing.

The shop manager confidently asserted that this was a top-tier battle pet.

Who would have thought that we would lose to a plough-horned beast today?

“He probably doesn’t have the guts to lie to me.” Li Gao pondered, but quickly looked up and said, “It’s alright, Qing’er. We can just change the spirit beast when the time is right. The Iron Palm Bear’s level is just average anyway.”

"A beast tamer's strength is determined by the quality of the spirit beast."

"Even if Ironpaw Bear can pass the next level, what about evolving once, and then the next time?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zaiqing agreed that it made sense, and it seemed that the Iron Palm Bear would have to be replaced in the future.

"Father was in a hurry to go to the city for a meeting today, but something happened?" Li Zaiqing asked.

"It's not an urgent matter, but someone has stirred up trouble," Li Gao said.

"Turning over a fox's den" is a term used by insiders in the trade of spirit beasts, and Li Zaiqing, having grown up surrounded by such knowledge, naturally understood it as well.

From the end of the Primordial Era to the beginning of the Celestial Beast Era, there was a constant war between humans and demons. Although humans and demons eventually reached an agreement, the Blue Star was very large, and humans could only occupy 30% of the area. The rest was mostly undeveloped or left out for spirit beasts to inhabit.

This is also part of the human-demon agreement, which is why so-called "demon-restricted areas" still exist in many places.

"Is it big?" Li Zaiqing asked.

“It’s huge. That divine fox is of sacred beast quality, with a full six tails.” Li Gao sighed, “It’s a pity I was too late; someone beat me to it.”

Li Zaiqing stirred slightly; the Six-Tailed Divine Fox possessed an extremely high-grade bloodline.

"The den is gone, and all the other little foxes have run out. There might be a small beast tide in Nine Star City this time."

Li Gao's eyes lit up when he said this.

For merchants, the current beast tide is not a threat; it's all about money.
