Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 248 Betting Begins: The Little Fox's Second Evolution

Throughout history, whether under the rule of the demon race or the human race, Earth has witnessed countless wars.

The result of war is species extinction and the disruption of bloodlines.

This is inevitable, because it is inevitable.

The extinction of a species can also lead to the birth of a new species.

"It's a pity that the Spirit Academy used to have a top-secret catalog of spirit beasts, but it was later taken back by the Heavenly Capital," the Grand Elder said. "Otherwise, I could help you look for it."

"They took it back?" Lin Chen asked, puzzled. "Why? Did the people from Tian Shu Pavilion do it?"

"No, it's the National Academy of Educational Sciences."

The elder said, "At the time, Zhang Jin said it was Zhong Nan's idea, but he didn't explain."

The Grand Elder also found it strange; it was just a rare illustrated guide, so why would the National Academy take it back and seal it away to prevent it from being leaked?

"Speaking of the Imperial Academy," the Grand Elder changed the subject, saying, "The latest news from Tiandu indicates that Gu Ning is basically confirmed as the next Imperial Preceptor."

"Gu Ning?"

Lin Chen was taken aback, recalling his deal with Zhong Nan, and said, "Bai Ling gave it up voluntarily?"

"No, according to the information, it was Tian Shu Pavilion that put pressure on us," the Grand Elder said.

Upon hearing this news, Lin Chen didn't think much of it, after all, the undercurrents among the forces in Tiandu were far too complex.

"This is also a good thing for Bai Ling."

Deep down, Lin Chen also felt that Bai Ling was not suitable to be a national advisor. Apart from her personality, Bai Ling had no powerful backing; the only thing protecting her was the National Advisor Academy.

As for the Spirit Academy, although it is a power, it cannot participate in the struggle between these powers.

If the Spirit Institute crosses the line, the first to die will be the Spirit Institute.

When the two returned to the mentor's academy, Liu Gu was also extremely surprised to see the changes in Lin Chen's spirit beast.

In just six months, the improvement has been so significant.

Lin Chen was about to demonstrate Xiao Bai's new abilities to the elders, but they refused.

"From now on, the fewer people who know, the better, including us," the elder said with a smile.

Lin Chen was taken aback. In fact, he naturally understood this principle, but the Grand Elder and Liu Gu were both on his list of trusted people. He was able to get to where he was today without their help.

Liu Gu, however, looked at the little fox and said:
"Looks like it's time to gamble."

Lin Chen immediately turned to look at the Grand Elder, who rolled his eyes and said:
"Now that you're an elder, and it's the new year, you'll get new benefits. So, since you currently have 14 items in the medicine storehouse, we'll give you 9 legendary-level items instead."

"Thank you, Elder."

Lin Chen immediately said happily.

The First Elder rolled his eyes and said, "I've given you everything I could. You'd better do your best at the Heavenly Realm Mountain Gathering."

"certainly."

Lin Chen cupped his hands in greeting.

Tento
National Teachers College

"I've met senior brother."

Gu Ning arrived at Zhang Jin's courtyard and greeted him with a cupped hand.

A moment later, Zhang Jin came out, glanced at Gu Ning, and said, "Do you know why I called you here today?"

"I hope my senior brother can enlighten me."

Gu Ning actually knew what had happened.

The story goes back to half a year ago, to the battle on Beast Island.

At that time, Gu Ning lost to Lin Chen and lost the spirit egg.

Gu Ning was also disheartened, not expecting that Tian Shu Pavilion was even more panicked than he was.

Tian Shu Pavilion had always suspected that Bai Ling was Zhong Nan's first choice, so they attributed part of Lin Chen's victory to Bai Ling.

So after Gu Ning returned, the Gu family took the lead in convening a meeting of the four major families, and finally reached a consensus to recommend Gu Ning for the position.

As for what agreement the Gu family signed with them, Gu Ning had no idea.

However, Gu Ning knew that the books from Tian Shu Pavilion had already arrived at the National Academy.

But some things can't be said out loud, so Gu Ning could only pretend not to know.

Zhang Jin did the same; he looked at Gu Ning and said:

"Among these nine people, the teacher believes that you are the most capable, so he intends to cultivate you into the national advisor."

"Thank you, Teacher Xie. Thank you, Senior Brother Xie," Gu Ning said quickly.

"Don't be too happy yet," Zhang Jin said. "To become the Imperial Preceptor, you still need to pass many tests. The most difficult test is the recognition of the Dragon Vein."

"Although you have some skill in the Dragon Fighting Technique, the Dragon Transformation Technique and the Dragon Fighting Technique are different."

"To learn the Dragon Transformation Technique, one must first gain the approval of the dragon vein."

"Therefore, starting tomorrow, you will enter the Dragon Vein Land to allow your spirit dragon to undergo a Dragon Vein Cleansing."

Gu Ning trembled with excitement upon hearing this.

Zhang Jin is telling the truth.

To become the Imperial Advisor, one must be recognized by the Dragon Vein.

From another perspective, the Dragon Transformation Technique that the Imperial Preceptor could master was the use of the power of heaven and earth.

If the dragon vein doesn't approve of you, then naturally you can't use it.

"Go back and get ready," Zhang Jin waved.

"Yes, senior brother."

Gu Ning nodded, and just as he was about to leave, Zhang Jin asked, "If you really become the Imperial Advisor, will you cancel the Eight Trigrams Nine Cities Plan?"

Gu Ning was taken aback. He turned to look at Zhang Jin, pondered for a moment, and then said very seriously:
"Senior brother, you shouldn't have asked this question."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jin closed his eyes.

indeed.

He shouldn't have asked that question.

However, both he and Zhong Nan expended a great deal of their life essence for this plan.

He really didn't want the plan to fail.

Zhang Jin was an orphan from a young age; his parents died in the war. He was later adopted by Zhong Nan, which led to his current achievements and status.

Therefore, Zhang Jin sincerely hopes that the future of the Cangling Ancient Kingdom will not suffer the same tragic fate as his.

The Bagua Nine Cities Plan, which Zhong Nan proposed and developed, is the most perfect plan in his mind.
Once this plan is completed, the Cangling Ancient Kingdom will become the most ideal utopia on this blue planet.

Lin Chen wasn't the only one who was excited; Liu Gu was also very excited.

The idea of ​​the Phoenix's Blazing Fire was proposed by Liu Gu.

Previously, both master and apprentice thought there was no hope, after all, the Phoenix Essence Blood wasn't something that could be obtained so easily. But Zhong Nan's appearance made that possibility a reality.

Therefore, Liu Gu was also very concerned about the little fox's evolution.

He had even prepared a plan in advance and had the pharmacy ready as well.

The next day, Lin Chen brought back all the medicinal herbs. Liu Gu sorted them out and finally set a time: three days later.

So for the past three days, Lin Chen has been dreaming that the little fox has truly awakened the Phoenix Karmic Fire.

Finally, on the third day, when Lin Chen brought the little fox to the mentor's academy, the furnace was already lit and burning.

"Go on, Little Red."

Lin Chen patted its head.

"Goo!"

The little fox turned around and glanced at Little White and the others. Encouraged by them, the little fox resolutely jumped into the boiler.

As the little fox crawled into the boiler, Liu Gu immediately picked up the phoenix essence blood, then channeled his spiritual power to pour it into the boiler remotely.

The little fox, immersed in the water, immediately felt intensely hot all over, and the water in the boiler ignited due to the entry of a drop of phoenix blood essence.

This power was terrifying; an ordinary boiler couldn't withstand it. So Liu Gu had the goldfish beast spew bubbles to protect the boiler.

This was nothing unusual, but unexpectedly, the little blue fish that was squinting nearby saw the goldfish beast blowing bubbles and made a "glug" sound.

The goldfish turned its head and glanced at the little blue fish, which startled the entire fish so much that it almost jumped up.

Fortunately, it was professional, and even in its shock, it maintained the stability of the bubbles.

Liu Gu and Lin Chen both noticed the situation with the goldfish beast, but neither of them spoke up.

Once the flames in the boiler had completely stabilized, Liu Gu asked the goldfish beast if it knew the little blue fish.

As a result, the goldfish beast shook its head, indicating that it did not recognize the fish, and told Liu Gu that it felt a bloodline suppression from the little blue fish.

"Bloodline suppression?"

Liu Gu looked at the little blue fish. This little blue fish was harmless, with a chubby body, and it was paddling back and forth on the cow's back. If you didn't know better, you would think it was swimming.

"It seems your flying fish beast talent is quite terrifying." Liu Gu walked over and whispered to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen nodded as well.

The little blue fish is only level 5, yet it can still suppress the bloodline of a goldfish beast that is over level 50. You can imagine how terrifying its bloodline is.

Turning his head, Liu Gu said again, "Luckily it was just a drop of phoenix essence blood. If it were two more drops, even my goldfish beast might not have been able to suppress it, and I would have had to use a divine-grade boiler to suppress it."

"A divine-grade boiler?" Lin Chen was taken aback.

"Don't you know?" Liu Gu said, and began to explain to Lin Chen, "As the level of the spirit beast increases, the potency of the medicinal herbs and the strength of the spirit beast also increase. If the boiler is of poor quality, it simply cannot suppress the fire."

"Later, a catalyst from the Beast Mirror Academy came up with a new solution, which was to use a higher-quality boiler to suppress it."

"Based on their quality, four specifications of boilers were custom-made: ordinary, rare, divine, and celestial."

"Because of the existence of the Goldfish Beast, I can use bubbles to protect the spirit beast, so I don't have high requirements for the boiler. Other catalysts have very high requirements for the boiler."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, saying, "I don't even need to hear it to know that this divine-grade boiler is very expensive."

“We have one in our Spirit Academy,” Liu Gu said. “Large powers like Tiandu basically have one in each of them, and the Beast Mirror Academy also has one.”

"Do you have any of the celestial grade?"

"As for immortal-grade items, I've only heard of them in rumors. There was one in the Cangling Ancient Kingdom that was made from the bones of the Xuanwu, but the records only go back eighty-eight years."

"Eighty-eight?" Lin Chen thought he had misheard, because he remembered what the Grand Elder in the Ancestral Spirit Realm had said: eighty-eight years ago, the spiritual energy there had begun to weaken.

“That’s right,” Liu Gu said. “Because this is one of the knowledge points in the Catalyst Exam, so there can’t be any mistake.”

He knew what Lin Chen was thinking, and he shook his head and said, "The Immortal-grade Boiler has never appeared in the Spirit Academy, so you don't need to think too much about it. That kind of thing must have been circulating in places like Tiandu, and it was probably secretly swallowed up by some family in the end."

As they spoke, the medicinal power in the boiler, catalyzed by the phoenix's essence blood, continuously flowed into the little fox's body.

At this moment, the little fox felt as if it were bathing in a sea of ​​fire. At first, the little fox felt waves of pain, but after a while, it felt physically and mentally exhausted. Its eyelids could no longer stay open, and finally it closed completely and fell asleep.

Next came the waiting period, during which Lin Chen discussed the polar bear and the little blue fish with Liu Gu.

When Liu Gu learned that the Great White Bear's fourth skill was to unleash the power of the battle axe, he was not surprised and said, "It seems that this Eight Desolate War Bear is not from this era. Instead, it looks a bit like some powerful demon king."

Lin Chen thought so too.

Liu Gu was quite surprised when the little blue fish was mentioned.

Putting aside its first skill's potential to traverse space, its group healing is truly somewhat abnormal.

These two skills alone are enough to make her a top-tier support.

"The Eight Desolate War Bear may be hard to trace back to its origin, but your fish is definitely traceable. It's just a pity that the Spirit Academy no longer has that rare set of Immortal Beast Illustrations," Liu Gu sighed.

"you know too?"

"Of course I know." Liu Gu smiled wryly again, "A Catalyst's knowledge of spirit beast illustrations is also one of the assessments for Catalysts. Otherwise, it would be a bit embarrassing if we Catalysts didn't know what kind of species evolved."

Lin Chen was taken aback; it seemed to make some sense.

After about five days, the little fox began to spin a cocoon. The cocoon it spun was red, and it did so much faster than the first time.

Three days later, the little fox had completely formed a cocoon, and Lin Chen's anxious heart finally calmed down a lot.

Spinning a cocoon is a very important step in evolution. If you can't even complete the cocooning step, then it's impossible to move on to the next step.

What followed was a long wait. About seven days passed, and the little fox still showed no signs of emerging from its cocoon. However, on this day, someone from the mentor's academy came to visit.

This person is none other than the senior disciple, Wu Chen.

When Lin Chen heard that Wu Chen had arrived, he asked Xiao Bai and the others to guard Xiao Hong, and then went outside the courtyard to meet Wu Chen.

"Senior Brother, you're back." Lin Chen was also quite happy to see Wu Chen.

The two have not seen each other since the last beast fighting tournament.

Wu Chen laughed heartily at Lin Chen and said, "You used to call me Senior Brother, now I should call you Senior Brother."

Lin Chen smiled wryly upon hearing this.

Lin Chen is now a senior student at the Spirit Academy. Since the Beast Fighting Tournament, Lin Chen's reputation has grown even more. Even though Lin Chen hasn't been in the Spirit Academy often because of the Heavenly Beast Island and his cultivation, his prestige has not only not decreased, but has actually increased because of his mysterious aura.

So now all the students in the academy call Lin Chen "Senior Brother," and even the senior students like to joke around and call Lin Chen "Senior Brother" as well.

"I heard about what happened on Beast Island. Well done." Wu Chen was referring to his cousin Wu Gui. He said with a smile, "Wu Gui's talent is average, yet he dared to challenge you, junior brother. He's just asking for trouble."

He then glanced at Lin Chen's level and said in surprise, "I'm afraid I can't even beat you now."

In such a short time, Lin Chen's level has almost reached level 30, which is comparable to his own.

However, it should be noted that his leveling up has been quite fast during this period.

"."

Lin Chen could only remain silent, after all, the Spirit Academy's secret realm was a closely guarded secret.

Wu Chen didn't continue on this topic. Lin Chen's talent was amazing, so Wu Chen wouldn't be surprised no matter what he became.

However, he also guessed that Lin Chen must have been assigned by the Spirit Academy to participate in this Heavenly Realm Mountain Conference, so he said:
"Between Mount Ling and Mount Tianjie, someone has stumbled upon the ruins of a celestial beast. Junior Brother, would you like to come along and take a look?"
