Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 240 Defending the Borders with Military Force, Sharing the Nation's Destiny

The search for the eggs passed quickly. With the help of the Grand Elder and the guidance of the island's guardian spirit beasts, they soon collected 12 spirit eggs.

"Let's go back." After collecting the spirit eggs, the Grand Elder cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to the sky, and Lin Chen quickly followed suit.

He knew that the Grand Elder was saying goodbye to the island's guardian spirit beasts.

Lin Chen was also very grateful, as the guardian spirit beast was like a safety charm for them.

Once they were off the island, the Grand Elder asked curiously, "Aren't you curious about what this guardian spirit beast of the island is?"

"curious."

"Then why don't you ask?"

"The Grand Elder has even told me the secrets of this island. If this guardian spirit beast is something I should know, he will surely tell me as well," Lin Chen said.

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder gave Lin Chen an approving look.

Lin Chen's shrewdness and tact in dealing with people and situations were indeed beyond his years.

Then the Grand Elder summoned the crane, and they began their return journey. Sitting on the crane, Lin Chen felt safe and finally took out the fairy egg to examine it again. He held it up to the sunlight and asked the Grand Elder, "How can we confirm that it is a fairy egg?"

"Doesn't your little fox have real fire?" the elder said. "You'll know once you roast it with real fire."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen quickly said, "The little fox's flames have evolved into Samadhi True Fire. Won't these flames burn it up?"

"Haven't you heard the saying, 'True gold fears no fire'?" the elder said. "A celestial-grade spirit egg naturally requires a special flame to hatch."

"Can it withstand it?" Lin Chen asked in surprise.

He had never actually read any books on this subject, because there were very few books about celestial spirit eggs.

"Besides aiding in incubation, the special flames can also refine its immortal embryo," the elder said. "If your little fox's fire control skills aren't good enough, you really wouldn't dare let it roast. As for the issue of controlling the heat, you can ask your teacher Liu Gu. As a catalyst, he has a better understanding of these things than I do."

After another month and a half of travel, when Lin Chen returned to the Spirit Academy, the Great White Bear had already reached level 24. During this time, the Great White Bear had been quite busy, and according to the Great White Bear, it was about to start its attempt to reach level 25.

As for Xiaobai, he also broke through one level and reached level 38, and the little fox also leveled up one level and reached level 33.

Driven by them, Lin Chen also reached level 23.

Now that he has contracted with three spirit beasts, Lin Chen's leveling up has obviously accelerated considerably.

After bidding farewell to the Grand Elder, Lin Chen went back to rest and recuperate before going to find Liu Gu. As soon as he entered, he heard Yan Lan's voice: "Senior Brother Lin, you're back."

Lin Chen looked over and saw that she was training, so he asked, "Where's the teacher?"

"The teacher went to a meeting," Yan Lan said.

Lin Chen nodded and sat there watching Yan Lan train.

Yan Lan's spirit beasts all have very good talents, otherwise Liu Gu wouldn't have chosen them.

He sat there waiting, watching Yan Lan train. After a while, Liu Gu returned and said to Yan Lan, "You go back first. Your senior brother Lin and I have something to talk about."

"Okay, teacher."

Yan Lan knew she couldn't compare to Lin Chen, so she said goodbye to Liu Gu and Lin Chen.

After she left, Liu Gu said, "The Grand Elder told me that you brought back a Celestial-grade Spirit Egg?"

Lin Chen nodded.

"Come in first." Liu Gu walked in, his expression still slightly surprised.

Lin Chen actually managed to get his hands on a celestial-grade spirit egg.

Lin Chen didn't hide anything and told everyone about the ant queen's deal and Bai Ling's matter.

"Is she doing well?" Liu Gu asked.

"The Devouring Beast has made great progress, which shows that Zhong Nan must have treated her well at the National Academy of Education," Lin Chen said.

"That's good." Liu Gu was relieved, then, as if remembering something, he said in surprise, "You still have a Beast King Egg?"

"This is for Zhang Suqing. I want to exchange some medicinal herbs with her," Lin Chen said without hiding anything.

"You little rascal," Liu Gu chuckled upon hearing this, and said, "What? Short of money?"

"We've always been short of them," Lin Chen said with a wry smile. "Little White is about to evolve, and the little fox won't be far behind."

Liu Gu said, "The Beastmaster Guild's benefits have been reformed now. You're level 23 now, so you can go there to get a new rating."

Lin Chen nodded.

Then Liu Gu glanced at the little fox again and said, "Has it awakened its fifth skill?"

Lin Chen explained its skills, and Liu Gu said, "This skill is not bad, but the best is still Phoenix Karmic Fire. Even Samadhi True Fire is still a little inferior to Phoenix Karmic Fire."

Samadhi True Fire is indeed somewhat inferior to Phoenix Karmic Fire in terms of quality.

However, Lin Chen had absolute confidence in the Samadhi True Fire, because the little fox's Purifying True Fire was currently at the Perfect level, with one level above it.

Lin Chen had previously wondered if it might transform into the Fourfold True Fire.

"Take the egg out and let me see it," Liu Gu said.

Lin Chen took it out and carefully handed it over with both hands, but Liu Gu took it with one hand and weighed it lightly. Seeing Lin Chen's panicked look, he laughed and said, "This fairy egg can't be broken. If it can be broken, then it's not a fairy egg."

Lin Chen was sweating bullets. Although he understood, he still felt it was just like an egg.

Liu Gu also considered Lin Chen's feelings. After settling down on the ground, he had the little fox come forward and said to Lin Chen, "Incubating a celestial-grade spirit egg requires balanced heating. I just checked for you, and the egg is mature enough to start incubating."

After saying that, Liu Gu turned to the little fox and said:
"Little fox, start breathing fire."

The little fox immediately gathered its strength, its belly growing larger. Liu Gu quickly stopped it, saying, "I'm not asking you to fight."

The little fox immediately shrank its belly and exhaled a ball of fire, just like cooking.

"It needs to be bigger."

"Yes, that's it."

After several attempts, Liu Gu added, "It needs to be kept in real fire mode, baking for about an hour each day."

"so long?"

"So even if an ordinary person obtains a celestial-grade spirit egg, they may not be able to hatch it," Liu Gu said with a smile.

"Then, teacher, what kind of breed is it?" Lin Chen asked.

"I can't tell." Liu Gu glanced around and finally said, "It was found on a volcano, could it be a fire-attribute one?"

Lin Chen was taken aback when he heard this. He already had a fire-attribute spirit beast. Did he want to get another one?
Forget it.

Since they're all of the highest quality, Lin Chen wouldn't refuse even if he got ten more.

Liu Gu asked Lin Chen to stay for dinner while he went to cook. Lin Chen then went to call Yan Lan over.

Sitting at the dinner table, Liu Gu said, "The main purpose of this academy meeting is to prepare for the Heavenly Realm Mountain Demon-Human Arena Tournament a year from now."

Lin Chen then remembered that it had taken him more than three months to travel to and from Heavenly Beast Island, and he had spent another month on the island.

Now, three years have passed.

Three years have passed since the beast tide chaos, the Celestial Mountain Agreement, and the disbandment of the Monster Hunter Guild.

Next year will be the final year of the Tianjieshan Agreement.

"Is our academy also going to participate?" Lin Chen asked.

“This matter is originally a matter of race, and everyone should contribute. However, the contradictions within the country are prominent now, and everyone should be aware of that.” Liu Gu’s expression was extremely distressed as he spoke.

Lin Chen was aware that the current predicament facing the Cangling Ancient Kingdom stemmed from the uneven distribution of resources. Blue Star's resources included not only spirit beasts, but also evolutionary herbs, money, and more.

Many things are controlled by powerful forces, and very few resources can reach the hands of the lower classes.

This conflict with the demon race concerns the future of the Cangling Ancient Kingdom, so we must go all out. However, the demon race will fight desperately, because the law of beasts is that the strong prey on the weak.

In this situation, these large families would probably be unwilling to step forward, since risking their lives for so-called national sentiment is not their style.

"The Tian Shu Pavilion called on the disciples of various forces to participate enthusiastically, but the response was not high." Liu Gu sighed, "So the Tian Shu Pavilion plans to replicate the Beast Fighting Tournament's approach and use money to win people over."

Lin Chen finally understood.

If you want to motivate people to work hard, you have to offer something good.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Chen said:
"There are certainly experts among the common people, but the top combat power is definitely dominated by the major forces. And these major forces are basically not short of resources, so it is not easy to impress them."

"That's why I said we needed to have a meeting," Liu Gu said. "We're planning to gather resources."

"What big shipment is it this time?" Lin Chen understood the implication.

At this moment, Liu Gu said, "Do you still remember the Primordial Ruins discovered in the Hengduan Mountains eight years ago?"

Lin Chen nodded.

This incident caused quite a stir at the time, because the Primordial Ruins that time were very large, and many forces went to explore them.

As a result, many people died.

The potential profits are high there, but so is the competition.

However, many people also become rich overnight.

There are even rumors that someone found priceless treasures from the very beginning of time.

"Does the teacher know what it is?" Lin Chen asked.

"I don't know the specifics, but I can say that the rewards will come from there," Liu Gu replied. "However, the Spirit Academy has provided a lot of resources this time, and the Heavenly Capital will only provide more. This reward is anything but ordinary."

Lin Chen was naturally tempted, but having recently obtained a fairy egg, he didn't intend to take the risk.

This time, the arena competition and the beast fighting tournament are different in nature; the beasts will actually die.

After dinner, Lin Chen said goodbye and went home.

Back at his residence, Lin Chen couldn't wait to take out the Immortal-grade Spirit Egg and summon the little fox, saying:
"Little fox, this egg is yours from now on."

The little fox looked at the egg and nodded seriously. Lin Chen teased it, saying that it was going to be a "mother" at such a young age.

Unexpectedly, when the little fox heard the word "Mom," its expression became extremely serious. It ran to the yard to practice controlling the heat for a few minutes before returning to bake the eggs.

In the courtyard, Xiaobai and Xiaohei were training hard, but Lin Chen ignored them and went to sleep.

The next day, after Lin Chen woke up and ate, he went to the Beast Tamer Guild in Lingshan City.

"Young master, how can I help you?" The service from the Beast Tamer Guild was quite good.

Since the Monster Hunter Guild disbanded, the Beastmaster Guild has become the only window to directly face the Beastmasters at the bottom.

Tian Shu Ge is aware of the current domestic conflicts, so it has requested improvements to guild benefits and has also set requirements for the service attitude of guild staff.

Lin Chen briefly explained his background, and the staff member said, "No problem, please follow me. You're here to take the intermediate beast tamer assessment, right?"

"Yes."

"The intermediate-level Beast Tamer assessment requires testing with three spirit beasts. Do you already have three spirit beasts?"

"There is."

"Alright, please follow me."

The staff led Lin Chen to the arena area and asked, "Please show me your guild machine; I need to register."

Lin Chen took out the guild machine, and the other party glanced at it and was immediately stunned.

She turned her head in disbelief, glanced at Lin Chen, then at Xiao Bai, and finally her pupils dilated as she asked, "You...you're Lin Chen?"

"Yes, is there a problem?" Lin Chen didn't react for a moment.

"Is it Lin Chen from the Spirit Academy?" The staff member was so excited that his body was trembling.

Lin Chen was taken aback, then remembered that he was a minor celebrity in the Beast Fighting Tournament. He didn't hide it and nodded.

The other person immediately became so excited that they almost shouted, saying, "Sorry, I didn't recognize you."

Lin Chen felt ashamed.

He thought the other person would apologize, so he lost his composure.

Am I really that popular?

"What do you need to test?" Lin Chen asked.

“No, you don’t need to be tested,” the staff member said.

"unnecessary?"

"Your spirit beast doesn't need to prove itself." The staff member respectfully handed the guild machine back to Lin Chen and said, "I will submit your information, and then our guild leader can review and approve it directly."

"Furthermore, our leader said that if you really come here for the review, you don't need to participate in the monthly routine tasks, so as not to delay your cultivation."

Lin Chen was ashamed
It seems my fame is greater than I imagined.

However, this also saves trouble.

Originally, the Beast Tamer Guild provided intermediate-level Beast Tamers with a monthly bonus of 20,000, but Beast Tamers are required to participate in a mission with the guild every month. If they do not participate, the bonus for that month will be canceled.

Lin Chen thanked him without hesitation, but the staff member excitedly asked, "Could you please sign your name for me?"

"Of course." Lin Chen didn't put on airs. After signing for her, he left.

As he left the guild and prepared to return to the entrance of the Spirit Academy, he saw a notification from the guild machine:

Congratulations on successfully advancing to the intermediate level of Beast Tamer. Your information has been recorded.

[Mr. Lin Chen, in recognition of your contributions to the Cangling Ancient Kingdom, you are granted mission exemption, and your monthly benefits will be doubled for three years.]

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment after reading it, but the amount of money was not small.

After taking two more steps, I heard the guild machine ring again.

Lin Chen was surprised, thinking there might be other extra rewards, but what he saw was a red notification.

A red notification is usually used when there is an emergency.

For example, the time when Nine Star City was attacked.

Or it might come from the Tian Shu Pavilion.

Lin Chen had already figured something out. With only one year left until the upcoming racial war, the Tian Shu Pavilion would definitely have to issue a call to arms in advance.

Sure enough, when I clicked to check, I saw a message push from Tian Shu Pavilion.

It seems that the Tian Shu Pavilion and other major forces have already clarified the rewards for this event.

Lin Chen looked at the push notification, and the title immediately caught his eye:

Defend our borders with force, and share the destiny of our nation.
