Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 256 A Blessing in Disguise: The Sale of Antique Books

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder scoffed and said, "I didn't expect this old man Sun to be so renowned?"

He even mocked, "What first strike? It's nothing special. It's just a few good auxiliary spirit beasts and a little bit of ancestral medical skills."

Lin Chen and Wu Chen naturally didn't dare to speak, but at this moment a voice rang out from inside the door, saying, "Old Yu, you're still the same as before, you like to talk badly about people behind their backs. Why can't you say it to their face?"

As they were speaking, the door opened, and an elder of similar age to the Grand Elder appeared. His face was gloomy, and he glared angrily at the Grand Elder.

"Oh no, the person in question heard us."

Lin Chen and Wu Chen were sweating bullets, thinking that they were definitely going to have a fight now.

Unexpectedly, the two elders burst into laughter the next second, leaving Lin Chen and his companion stunned.

The two did not exchange greetings, and the elder even said, "If I don't say something bad about you here, I don't think you'll come out to greet me."

“How old are you? Still acting like a kid,” Sun Ji remarked.

“Yes, time waits for no one,” the elder said. “Back then, you and I followed Zhong Nan here to fight, but I never expected that you would fall for one of the young girls here and settle down here. It’s a shame that we promised to come and go together.”

The elder looked somewhat dejected after speaking. Sun Ji looked at the elder with some shame upon hearing this, but the elder quickly perked up and said, "However, it seems that your choice was right. Living here is far from the strife."

“How can one stay away from strife while still alive?” Sun Ji sighed. “I just went to Tiandu last year.”

"For Zhong Nan?" The Grand Elder quickly understood.

Sun Ji glanced at Lin Chen and Wu Chen, but said nothing more.

Obviously, there are some things that cannot be known to outsiders.

Upon seeing this, Lin Chen and Wu Chen quickly cupped their hands and said, "Lin Chen/Wu Chen greet seniors."

Sun Ji nodded, glanced at Lin Chen, and said, "The big star of the Beast Fighting Tournament, he really is a handsome man."

"You flatter me, senior." Lin Chen cupped his hands in greeting.

"Come on in, don't stand on ceremony. I just escaped from that abyssal bone dragon and haven't had a good meal in a long time," the elder said as he walked in.

"Yes, yes, please come in, both of you." Sun Ji gestured for Lin Chen and Wu Chen to come in.

The two quickly bowed and followed him inside.

The Sun family is no ordinary family. Although their family is not large or powerful, they have a wide reach because they have been doctors for generations.

In any world, doctors are a highly respected profession, not to mention that most of those who can find Sun Ji for medical treatment are important figures.

If you cure someone's illness, the person will naturally remember it.

Therefore, Sun Ji's network of connections may even surpass that of Yu Xiu, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Academy.

Sun Ji was extremely excited to see the Grand Elder arrive and held a grand banquet to entertain him.

The story then returns to the present, mentioning the Abyss Bone Dragon.

"It seems you weren't meant to die." Sun Ji felt happy for the Grand Elder after hearing about his escape.

The elder seized the opportunity to say, "My student's spirit beast swallowed some kind of pill that I don't know if it's a Beast Immortal Pill, and it's still unconscious. That's why I came here to ask you for help."

"Let me see." Sun Ji had also noticed the little blue fish in Lin Chen's hand.

He used two fingers to touch the little blue fish's belly, and his relaxed expression suddenly tightened.

Lin Chen was immediately shocked.

People say that what they fear most is a doctor's furrowed brow.

Fortunately, Sun Ji said, "Your spirit beast is no ordinary creature."

Lin Chen, sweating profusely, said, "Senior, you scared me to death."

The Grand Elder didn't hide anything and told Sun Ji that he had obtained the information from the Heavenly Beast Island. Sun Ji then said, "It's nothing, I just ate too much and went into shock."

"Your elder is right, all we need to do is release the medicinal power."

"Thank you, senior." Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, then continued, "Will there be any aftereffects?"

"If the Beast Immortal Pill is divided into eight parts, its medicinal power will be greatly reduced," Sun Ji said.
"Although this Beast Immortal Pill is used for evolution, it is essentially the same as the Beast Spirit Pill. Once its medicinal effects wear off, it may allow you to skip levels, but you will no longer be able to use the Beast Spirit Pill."

"Are you planning to make it the fourth spirit beast?"

“Exactly.” Lin Chen nodded.

“Then let’s wait a little longer,” Sun Ji said. “Once you reach level 30, you can form a contract with it. When the effects of the medicine are removed, your level should skyrocket, and both of you will benefit.”

"Even if we undo its effects now, it probably won't be able to be fully released."

"Thank you, senior."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that this time he had turned misfortune into a blessing in disguise.

Instead, it became an opportunity for the little blue fish.

Then the topic of Heavenly City came up again. Sun Ji told them that demons could now enter Heavenly City because the Heavenly Pivot Pavilion did not intend to turn against the demons. Instead, it was trying to create a peaceful situation so that the demons could stay in the city during the conference.

However, there are also rules: demons are not allowed to cause trouble in the city and must abide by the survival rules of humans.

"When you came here, wasn't there a famous restaurant called 'Number One Restaurant'? The demon race has taken over that place. It's said that the Ghost Hunting Wolf King has already arrived," Sun Ji said.

Upon hearing the name of the Ghost Hunting Wolf King, Lin Chen's expression turned somewhat strange. Sun Ji noticed this and asked, "Do you also have a connection with that Ghost Hunting Wolf King?"

Lin Chen then recounted the story of the unicorn, and the Grand Elder immediately affirmed, "That's it."

"What a coincidence!" Lin Chen exclaimed in surprise.

This little wolf king was tortured by it back then, and it swore it would take revenge.

"Don't worry, they won't dare to cause trouble in the city," Sun Ji said with a smile.

After a few rounds of drinks, Lin Chen and Wu Chen realized that they had something to say, so they took the initiative to leave.

Sun Ji told his wife to take Lin Chen and the others to rest. As soon as they left, the Grand Elder asked Sun Ji, "How did it go?"

Sun Ji didn't even need to ask to know what the Grand Elder was referring to.

The most pressing concern for the entire nation right now is Zhong Nanshan's condition and...
How long can he live?

“Last year, I was invited by Zhang Jin to secretly visit the National Academy of Educational Sciences.” Sun Ji’s eyes were lifeless as he said, “It will probably be in the next two years.”

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder's expression changed.

Zhong Nan's existence is the cornerstone of the Cangling Ancient Kingdom. Now is a time of great turmoil, and no one knows what will happen to the Cangling Ancient Kingdom if Zhong Nan falls.

"You know about Gu Ning's matter?" the elder asked.

"Hmm." Sun Ji nodded and said, "I've met Gu Ning. She does have ability, but..."

The Grand Elder knew what the second half of the sentence meant.

Gu Ning is not untalented; his biggest drawback is the Gu family behind him.

Gu Ning is now unable to escape the constraints of the Gu family.

If Gu Ning takes over, he will likely become a puppet of the Gu family.

This is a situation the Grand Elder did not want to see.

"Besides, I also suspect that the Gu family is involved in the leak of secrets from the Beast Fighting Festival back then."

The First Elder pondered and said, "Although there is no direct evidence yet, the Gu family today is different from the Gu family of that time."

"If it really is them, how can we face our ancestor Gu Wei?" Sun Ji said with grief and indignation after hearing the news.

Gu Wei was once a dragon slayer, but if they really did something to betray the country, that would be the behavior of an evil dragon.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they chatted until late at night, still reluctant to part ways.

Lin Chen was taken to a secluded courtyard by Madam Sun. After settling in, Lin Chen released Xiao Bai and the others.

The three spirit beasts circled around the little blue fish as soon as they came out. They were relieved to hear that Lin Chen had consulted a doctor and confirmed that everything was alright.

"You should meditate more these days to help me level up," Lin Chen instructed them.

The little blue fish had been sleeping for a long time, and Lin Chen was worried that something might go wrong. Reaching level 30 as soon as possible and forming a contract with the little blue fish was the right thing to do.

Sun Ji also said that without a contract with the little blue fish, it would be impossible to unleash all of its demonic power.

The three spirit beasts nodded and began to cultivate diligently that very night.

Lin Chen was a little tired, but just as he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly remembered Xu Feng's matter.

"Ancient books."

Lin Chen took out the ancient book he had obtained from Xu Feng that day, but after flipping through it again and again, he still couldn't find anything mysterious about it.

"Could the account in the book be true?"

"A Chaos Immortal Beast?"

As Lin Chen pondered, he unknowingly fell asleep.

The next day, Lin Chen was woken up by Wu Chen, who immediately said, "The Grand Elder asked if you want Senior Sun to diagnose your spirit beast?"

"A diagnosis?" Lin Chen was taken aback.

"He said that Senior Sun Ji's understanding of beast veins is extremely accurate. He can figure out the condition of a spirit beast simply by taking its pulse," Wu Chen said.

“Of course I’ll take it.” Lin Chen said happily.

Don’t miss out on free stuff.

Soon Lin Chen brought Xiaobai and the others to Sun Ji, who was still chatting with the Grand Elder.

Upon closer inspection, I realized it was referring to myself.

"This is the ox, right?" Sun Ji looked at Xiao Bai, his pupils lighting up, and said, "Back in the day, one of our group also possessed divine and demonic power, but alas..."

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder's expression also darkened.

"Is this senior no longer here?" Lin Chen asked.

“Yes.” Sun Ji nodded and said, “He followed Zhong Nan to fight against the demon race that day, but he didn’t come back alive. He shielded Zhong Nan from death.”

"However, his family is doing quite well now; Zhong Nan has not treated them unfairly."

"What family is it?" Wu Chen asked.

“The Qin family,” Sun Ji replied.

“But didn’t the Qin family move away from Tiandu more than ten years ago?” Wu Chen asked in surprise.

“That’s right,” the elder said. “After Qin Chuan died, the Qin family had no experts to oversee things. It’s possible that his family felt that Zhong Nan’s days were numbered and withdrew from Tiandu in advance.”

Wu Chen nodded in agreement.

To establish yourself in Tiandu, you need a master to protect your family.

Sun Ji then began to take the pulses of Xiaobai and the others, with Xiaobai being the first to take the pulse.

His right hand had just begun to explore when his pupils lit up, and he looked at Lin Chen and said, "Such a solid foundation."

After another thirty seconds, he said, "Both beast strength and mental strength are very strong, but there is a drawback: there are quite a few old injuries."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen anxiously asked, "Senior, do you have a cure?"

"Don't be in such a hurry," Sun Ji said with a smile. "Spirit beasts will inevitably suffer some hidden injuries after a battle. One or two injuries are not important, but if they accumulate, they will affect their potential for advancement."

"I'll prescribe two doses of medicine for you to take care of yourself; it's not a serious illness."

"Thank you very much, senior," Lin Chen said gratefully.

Then Sun Ji looked at the little fox, and the little fox excitedly came closer, ready to wait for Sun Ji to praise it. Unexpectedly, Sun Ji touched it and said, "Your fox's foundation is a bit weak."

The little fox immediately felt guilty and dared not look at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen didn't say anything.

Animals have their own nature; cows and bears are generally more honest and simple, while foxes are always more cunning—this is something that is hard to change.

However, Lin Chen also knew that the little fox had always been diligent in its cultivation and had never been negligent.

“I only said it was thin, but I didn’t say it was bad.” Sun Ji’s next words reassured Lin Chen and the little fox. He continued, “Both of your spirit beasts have good foundations. No wonder they are spirit beasts that have awakened the Heart-Burning Fire Control.”

When it was the polar bear's turn, Sun Ji told Lin Chen that the polar bear's condition was much more serious, with more internal injuries than Little White.

Lin Chen also knew that this was because of his previous relationship with Li Zaiqing.

After taking Lin Chen's pulse, Sun Ji prescribed three doses of medicine and said to him:

"Didn't you want to upgrade?"

"After your spirit beast finishes taking these three doses of medicine, it may be able to advance to the next level."

"It has this effect too?" Lin Chen asked in surprise.

This beast's strike was indeed terrifying.

The little fox's eyes lit up after hearing this, but Sun Ji immediately dampened his enthusiasm:

"Little guy, forget about it. This medicine of mine is meant to suppress your level."

"."

The little fox lowered its head, sighed dejectedly, which made everyone burst into laughter.

Right after Sun Ji finished his diagnosis, Lin Chen returned to the courtyard and stayed there. After brewing the medicine, Lin Chen gave it to each of them.

The medicine prescribed by Sun Ji was indeed bitter; even Lin Chen had to cover his nose before the little fox could drink it.

Little White and the Great White Bear, on the other hand, were hardworking and didn't even flinch when they drank the water.

"How is it?" Lin Chen asked.

Unexpectedly, Little White and the Great White Bear told him that they felt sleepy after drinking it.

Not long after they finished speaking, the two beasts fell fast asleep.

Lin Chen turned around and found the little fox full of energy, so he asked, "Why aren't you sleeping?"

The little fox stuck out its tongue, indicating that it felt like its whole body was about to burst into flames, and then ran to the courtyard to breathe fire.

Lin Chen felt ashamed.

The medicine prescribed by Sun Ji took effect incredibly quickly.

Lin Chen also sat down, intending to take a good look at the books. These books were medical books that Lin Chen had borrowed from Sun Ji, and he had heard that they contained his true teachings.

But after a short while, Madam Sun came over and told Lin Chen that someone was looking for him.

"Someone's looking for me at the door?" Lin Chen asked in surprise.

He didn't know anyone in this Heavenly City.

"He said he came to buy books from you," Mrs. Sun said.

Lin Chen immediately understood that Xu Feng had arrived.

This fat guy actually knew he lived here.

Recalling Xu Feng's various actions, Lin Chen felt more and more that this person was not simple.

He thanked Madam Sun and then asked, "Could you bring him in?"

“Of course,” Madam Sun nodded.

A short while later, Xu Feng arrived. He looked around cautiously as he walked in, and only when he saw Lin Chen did he say, "I took you out earlier, so you must keep your promise."

Lin Chen glanced at Xu Feng and asked in return, "How did you find this place?"

“This is none of your business,” Xu Feng said anxiously, stretching out his hand. “Ancient book.”

Lin Chen casually took it out, and Xu Feng's eyes immediately lit up like light bulbs.
