Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 251 Beast Immortal Pill

Lin Chen didn't hide anything and told the whole story.

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder appeared dazed and said, "This shouldn't be."

"Does the Grand Elder know about this?" Lin Chen asked.

"Do you know the origin of this Path to Immortality?" the Elder asked.

"It's said to be a remnant of history," Lin Chen said. "Isn't that true?"

“Of course.” The elder nodded and said, “But do you know that the Path to Immortality is said to have a hundred levels, but in fact it has more than that.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen said in disbelief, "But many students have counted them, and it is indeed one hundred floors."

The elder said earnestly, "The Tree Ancestor once stepped onto the 100th floor, but it found traces of breakage on it."

"You mean there's still a road, but it's broken off?"

"Yes."

"But what does this have to do with human form?" Lin Chen asked, puzzled.

“If there are people here, then that means this path is still alive.” The elder looked at Lin Chen and laughed, “Perhaps you can find the broken path.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen broke out in a cold sweat and said, "Elder, I feel like you're trying to fool me."

Lin Chen didn't want to shoulder such a heavy burden.

"I was just mentioning it casually. Who can predict the future?" The First Elder changed the subject, "The Immortal Beast Ruins are about to open. Let's set off tomorrow. You should go back and prepare as well."

"Yes."

Lin Chen cupped his hands, preparing to retreat, but suddenly remembered something and turned back, saying, "Elder, what about the eight..."

"I already said there's no reward," the First Elder rolled his eyes and retorted directly.

"."

Lin Chen sighed, thinking to himself that the Grand Elder was too impolite; why didn't he let the man finish speaking?

The next day, Lin Chen went to the mentor's academy to say goodbye to Liu Gu, because after attending the Heavenly Realm Mountain Conference, Lin Chen might return to Nine Star City.

Besides not having returned for a long time, Lin Chen was also worried about Li Zhen's severed arm.

Moreover, he is a graduate of the Spirit Academy.

"I wonder if Chairman Li is still in Nine Star City, or if he's off chasing girls somewhere again." Lin Chen couldn't help but smile as he thought of Li Zhen and the others.

Just then, Liu Gu said, "If the little fox can awaken the Phoenix Karmic Fire, it means it has the constitution to generate other flames. If you have the ability, you can also find some other flames for it, such as Netherfire or Cold Fire."

"Teacher, you really think highly of me." Lin Chen said, feeling embarrassed, "It's already quite good that I can afford to take care of them now."

Liu Gu laughed heartily, but only for a moment before his expression turned serious, and he said:
"The Spirit Academy does indeed intend to bind you, but the Spirit Academy has never belonged to any one power. If you want to join another power in the future, the Spirit Academy will not stop you. However, you need to be discerning. The original intention of the Spirit Academy was to serve this country."

"The student understands what the teacher means," Lin Chen said.

“That’s true. Of all the students I’ve taught, you seem to be the most shrewd.” Liu Gu said with a smile, “News has come from the National Academy of Education that Bai Ling has been kicked out of the academy. The Ling Academy will bring her back in six months.”

"Although she has already graduated, given her special status, the Spirit Academy will protect her for some time to come. If you have time, come back and visit us."

"I will keep this in mind." Lin Chen cupped his hands, then bowed deeply to Liu Gu, and after a moment's thought, added:
"Teacher, I'll come back when my spirit beast needs to evolve."

Liu Gu was taken aback, then burst into laughter, cursing as he said, "You brat."

An hour later, the Grand Elder summoned the cranes and set off with them. Since the cranes were not very big, Little White and the others were put into the Beast Taming Space.

Only one little blue fish was left.

Wu Chen immediately paid close attention to the little blue fish, because his main task upon returning to the Spirit Academy was to retrieve the spirit egg he had obtained at the Beast Fighting Tournament.

"Junior brother, is this the immortal egg you obtained on Heavenly Beast Island?" Wu Chen asked.

Lin Chen nodded.

The little blue fish was fast asleep at that moment, so Wu Chen asked curiously, "Wouldn't it be better to let your spirit beast sleep inside?"

"It likes to bask in the sun."

"what?"

Wu Chen thought he had misheard.

Does a fish like to sunbathe?
What the hell.

Lin Chen looked at the little blue fish sleeping soundly, with bubbles still coming out of its nostrils, and felt somewhat helpless.

What he really wanted to tell Wu Chen was that the little blue fish, which seemed to be sleeping, was actually cultivating.

However, this kind of thing is too outrageous. If it gets out, it will make people envious. Although Wu Chen seems to be a reliable person, he is, after all, from Tiandu. Lin Chen is still a little worried about this matter.

After all, he is still level 29 and has not yet formed a contract with the little blue fish.

Although the elder beside him knew this, he did not say anything, but changed the subject, saying, "It is said that this time the ruins are very large."

"How did you find out?" Lin Chen asked.

"Rumor has it that it was discovered by a tomb raider," Wu Chen said at length, even mentioning the other person's name.

"Xu Feng?" Lin Chen thought he had misheard.

"you know?"

Lin Chen didn't hide anything and told the whole story.

After Bai Ling was assassinated, when the two of them returned to the Spirit Academy in distress, Lin Chen bought an ancient book from Xu Feng.

Because Xu Feng's behavior was so bizarre, Lin Chen had some impression of him.

"Then you two are really destined to meet," Wu Chen said with a smile. "This tomb raider is quite lucky. Rumor has it that he sold this information to a powerful organization for a good price this time."

"Later, this powerful force tried to secretly excavate, but unexpectedly, the information was leaked."

"When the news finally reached the Tian Shu Pavilion, it was the Tian Shu Pavilion that stepped in and sealed off all the entrances, intending to give it away as a benefit to the people."

Their final destination was Broken Mountain. With the help of the cranes, Lin Chen and his companions arrived at the nearest Broken Mountain City in just over half a month.

This Duanshan City is not large; it is a small city, even smaller than Jiuxing City.

Just as the Grand Elder was about to let the crane land, Wu Chen spoke up again:
"The Bagua City built by the National Academy of Education is not far ahead. We still have time, shall we go and take a look?"

Lin Chen had heard of the existence of this Bagua City, which was located in the nine directions of the Cangling Ancient Kingdom. It was originally said to be used for tourism and for sending troops to guard the country.

The Grand Elder, however, knew the inside story, so he seemed somewhat uneasy when he heard about Bagua City.

The true purpose of the Eight Trigrams Nine Cities Plan was only known among the upper echelons; even Wu Chen was unaware of its true purpose.

The Grand Elder did not object and sent the crane away, which soon arrived near the Bagua City.

This is the sixth city of Bagua City. From above, you can see that the entire city is almost circular, with streets and houses arranged in the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) pattern.

In the center, there is a huge rooftop where the tallest building in the entire complex stands:

The Sixth Branch of the National Teachers College.

As soon as it approached, the crane cried out, telling the Grand Elder that it felt immense pressure and could not proceed any further.

"It seems this city has been placed under a no-fly formation," Lin Chen said.

“That’s for sure,” Wu Chen said excitedly. “The National Academy said that once the Bagua City is completed, it will be the safest city. In the event of war, ordinary people can enter here and be protected.”

The Grand Elder remained silent upon hearing this. For the National Academy to undertake such a grand project, support from various parties was indispensable; the Tian Shu Pavilion's financial and logistical contributions were a given.

But when the project was about to be completed, Tian Shu Pavilion began to regret it.

Because they felt that the National Academy's actions had shaken the foundation of the Tian Shu Pavilion's rule.

Gu Ning's rise to power was essentially a power struggle.

The Grand Elder and Zhong Nan knew each other and had interacted quite a bit in the past.

Although the truth about Tiandu has not yet come out, the Grand Elder knows Zhong Nan's personality well.

Since he had initially chosen Bai Ling, he naturally couldn't give up so easily.

The real truth is probably:
Tian Shu Pavilion planted its own people in the National Academy of Education. Zhong Nan did not want to give up this ideal utopian plan, so he chose to back down.

"Could it be that Bai Ling has always been just a pawn in Zhong Nan's game?"

The elder became increasingly alarmed as he thought about it.

This is very possible.

Others may not recognize Zhong Nan, but the Grand Elder knows him very well.

Zhong Nanshan must have had his reasons for securing this position among so many competitors.

Therefore, the real truth is most likely:
Zhong Nan knew that Tian Shu Pavilion would hinder the smooth progress of the Bagua Nine Cities Plan, so he chose Bai Ling as a pawn in advance.

"This Zhong Nan"

The Grand Elder didn't know what to say.

Zhong Nan's death was inevitable, so even if the Eight Trigrams Nine Cities could obtain great power, it would not belong to Zhong Nan.

Therefore, there can only be one reason why Zhong Nan did this:
For this country.

The Grand Elder was also extremely puzzled: could these nine small cities really have such great power to protect the entire Cangling Ancient Kingdom?
Upon entering the city, it was still under construction, with beast tamers and spirit beasts skilled in construction working everywhere.

You can visit the city, as long as you stay outside the construction area.

And most of the project is already in its final stages.

As you can see, this Bagua City has already started selling its products before it was even completed, and the prices are quite high.

"As expected, capital is everywhere." Lin Chen was ashamed.

With its safety and the two highlights of the National Teachers College, it's enough to attract many people to buy houses here. It's clear that ordinary people definitely can't afford to buy houses here.

Just as Lin Chen and his group were visiting, Lin Chen suddenly felt something strange about his body. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the mark that the Tree Ancestor had placed on him was glowing, which surprised Lin Chen.

The mark that the Tree Ancestor placed on him was to shield him from the Dragon Transformation Technique mark that Zhong Nan had placed on him.

But he is not in any danger now, so why is the Dragon Transformation Technique reacting for no reason?

Fortunately, the mark of the Dragon Transformation Technique was not obvious and was covered up, and it dissipated in a short time.

Lin Chen looked up and realized that they were approaching the rooftop in the city center, where, in addition to the sixth branch of the National Academy, there was a lifelike dragon statue in front of the building.

"It seems this place isn't as simple as I imagined," Lin Chen mused, but didn't say it aloud.

After wandering around for a while, the three of them finally left and landed in Hengshan City.

Hengshan City was packed with people at this moment; there were people everywhere.

This time, the allure of the ruins was too great; everyone wanted to come and have a taste.

As Lin Chen and his group entered the restaurant for a meal, they heard news about the ruins.

"I heard that this ruin was formed from the beast-taming space of the former lord of Hengshan City."

"Wasn't that not long ago?"

"What do you mean not long ago? He was one of the leaders in the early days of the nation, and it's rumored that he was one of the disciples of the Imperial Advisor Gu Wei."

"How did he die?"

"He died a natural death, at the age of eighty, and had no children, so he accumulated a great deal of wealth."

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard it was related to the founding of the nation.

The beginning of the Celestial Beast Era in the Cangling Ancient Kingdom marked a new beginning, and all those who had rendered meritorious service in the war received tremendous rewards.

Money, power, and countless resources.

These were the rules set by Gu Wei, but it was precisely the creation of these rules that enabled the Cangling Ancient Kingdom to win the war against multiple countries later on.

Therefore, the amount of resources controlled by a city lord during the founding period of a nation was extremely terrifying.

Many ordinary people come here not to compete for high-end resources, but to find gold and jewelry so they can live a worry-free life in their later years.

Although Lin Chen was more "ambitious" than them, he only planned to go in and try his luck.

But before they could even finish their meal, a new rumor began to circulate:

"There might be a Beast Immortal Pill in here."

"real or fake?"

"real."

"Legend has it that after the city lord had a spirit beast that reached the Immortal rank, he used his power to acquire a large number of Beast God Pills, one of which was a Beast Immortal Pill."

"A lot of Beast God Pills?"

Many people's eyes lit up when they heard this.

Beast God Pill and Beast Immortal Pill are pills with the same effect: after taking them, the probability of evolution can be increased.

The extraction of the Beast Immortal Pill is extremely difficult, requiring a fire-attribute spirit beast of immortal quality to refine it, and all the medicinal materials used are of legendary quality or higher.

According to the "Beast Taming Manual", a Beast Immortal Pill can increase the evolution probability of an immortal beast by about 10%.

If one were to consume a Beast Immortal Pill during the Sacred Beast stage to evolve into a Divine Beast, the probability would be 100%.

That's why the Beast Immortal Pill became increasingly legendary. You have to understand that owning a divine beast-level spirit beast already puts you far ahead of many others.

"I don't want any Beast Immortal Pill, just give me a Beast God Pill."

"Me too."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion, and they became even more excited upon hearing the news.

Many rumors circulated afterward, such as that the city lord was extremely afraid of death and may have collected a lot of medicinal herbs.

"It is said that all his spirit beasts are about to break through to become immortal beasts, so there must be a lot of medicinal herbs in them."

"That's strange, why didn't anyone excavate his grave back then?"

"Rumor has it that he used a spatial spirit beast a long time ago to find a good place that ordinary people can't find. If it weren't for that tomb raider's lucky break this time, it would probably still be hiding there."

The more they talked, the more excited they became, which made Lin Chen's imagination run wild.
Although the Beast Immortal Pill is not scarce for Lin Chen, if he could obtain it, he could sell it for an astronomical price on the market, which would be enough to ensure Lin Chen's financial security.

Even the Beast God Pill can fetch an extremely high price on the market.

"Elder, is this true?" Lin Chen asked.

The Grand Elder pondered for a moment, and finally said, "It seems that this is indeed the case. This person also seems to have some connection with the Spirit Academy."
