Destiny Beast Taming

Chapter 154 Cloud-Treading Immortal Leopard!

Upon hearing this, Wen Tao was taken aback. Could it be that Lin Zhuo or You Weiwei knew that he had asked Old Cui to accompany Zhong Yi to Longya City?

Did they deliberately tell Zhong Yi about Old Cui's situation?

That must be the case, otherwise Zhongyi would never have had the chance to learn about Cui Heng.

Zhongyi knows too much; she not only knows what Elder Cui's natal beast is.

I also know that the blood and bones that made up Elder Cui's Blood and Bone Great Wall have mutated!

Wen Tao knew about these things, but did Lin Zhuo and You Weiwei really know?

Upon hearing this, Cui Heng laughed heartily twice.

"You seem to know a lot about my situation."

"Although I've only recently heard of your reputation, it's truly legendary!"

"I heard from Xiao Tao that you want to treat Tao En. I used to have some personal dealings with Tao En."

"I visited Tao En after his accident; his injuries were quite serious."

"Whether you can heal his injuries is up to you, but with me here, even if you come into contact with Tao En and that Five-Finger Peak Creator who is Tao En's enemy targets you, I can still ensure your safety."

Choi Heng had already expressed his affection for Zhongyi through his words.

Otherwise, a strong person like Cui Heng wouldn't need to praise Zhong Yi as soon as they met.

At the same time, Cui Heng's words were extremely arrogant.

However, given Cui Heng's strength, he certainly has the right to be arrogant.

After Sun Yushi got into the beast-riding carriage with Zhong Yi, he first respectfully bowed to Wen Tao and Cui Heng.

Then he sat up straight in front of Zhongyi, always keeping in mind his role as a guard.

Sun Yushi had dealt with Cui Heng before. Cui Heng might have a strange temper, but once he accepted someone, he would treat them as one of his own.

As long as Zhongyi doesn't dislike Cui Heng, their relationship will definitely get better and better.

"Xiaoyi, the Order Beasts of the Chosen Ones wield the authority over the rules; this is your advantage."

"However, it is much more difficult for Order Beasts to improve their quality than for ordinary Beast Tamers' natal Beasts."

"If you want to improve the quality of the Order Beasts in the future, just tell me if you lack any resources, or let Xiao Tao let me know."

"I usually have nothing to do, and staying in Star City is like a retirement home."

"Even if the materials you need are extremely rare, I can help you find them."

"In the future, when your strength increases, if my beast gets injured, I won't be embarrassed to ask you for help."

Cui Heng knew that Wen Tao and Zhong Yi had a very good relationship, and that both Wen Tao and Lin Zhuo's Instant Jade were hanging around Zhong Yi's neck.

If you need Zhongyi's help in the future, you can simply ask Wentao to pass on the message.

Cui Hengyi didn't want to trouble Wen Tao, whom he always regarded as a junior.

Secondly, he felt that Zhong Yi was very much to his liking and wanted to get closer to him. Although Zhong Yi had only recently awakened his soul foundation, the talent and potential he had shown were already enough for a top-tier powerhouse like Cui Heng to befriend him on an equal footing.

Zhong Yi said in a very serious tone.

"If I ever need your help finding materials in the future, I won't hesitate to ask."

"If Elder Cui has any beasts that need my treatment, just ask me."

"Before I've matured, it doesn't necessarily mean I can't help you, Mr. Cui."

When Zhong Yi speaks, his brows are full of composure and confidence.

Zhong Yi's confidence is not due to the arrogance of a young person.

As a time traveler, Zhong Yi is no longer a teenager from a psychological perspective.

Zhong Yi said this based on his understanding of the Resurrected God.

The Resurrected God uses the Core of Rebirth to activate the genetic templates within other living beings.

The energy consumed by other beings during the healing process is also drawn from the energy within that being.

Although Zhongyi has not yet treated beasts above the Mythical rank, in principle it should be equally effective on beasts above the Mythical rank.

Looking at Zhong Yi's confident eyes and feeling her radiant state, Cui Heng suddenly felt that Zhong Yi was somewhat similar to the young Star Emperor.

It's a good thing for young people to be confident!

But being too confident is like a newborn ox that is not afraid of a tiger!

Giving young prodigies like Chung Yi some setbacks can actually help them develop more steadily.

"Since you put it that way, Xiao Yi, then I won't stand on ceremony."

"I taught Xiao Tao his skills as a creator, but I lack talent in creation and am still only a mid-level four-finger creator."

"Xiao Tao overtook them from behind."

"I once raised a Cloud-Stepping Fairy Leopard, and I've kept it as a pet ever since."

"This Cloud-Stepping Celestial Leopard is extremely loyal to me, no different from any other contracted beast."

"It saved me when I first stepped into immortality. That battle was too dangerous, and my Cloud-Treading Immortal Leopard suffered many hidden injuries."

"Xiao Yi still has quite a while to go on the road. Since you're free, would you like to watch my pet for me?"

Wen Tao's expression turned extremely helpless upon hearing Cui Heng's words.

Wen Tao knew that Cui Heng's favorite thing to do was to teach people how to overcome setbacks.

Even though Wen Tao was already destined to be a chosen one when he was young, Cui Heng used this method to educate him many times.

Zhong Yi's natural talent is undeniable, and setbacks can indeed be effective for ordinary prodigies.

However, for Zhong Yi, who could easily heal the original injuries of a Mythical Order Beast while still at the Mortal Beast level, there was really no need for it.

"Elder Cui, if I remember correctly, you almost lost your life when you were riding the Cloud-Treading Immortal Leopard. The hidden injuries on your body penetrated deep into your internal organs."

"The key is that its strength has already reached the level of immortality. Even if it cannot achieve eternity due to its hidden injuries, it would be too exaggerated for Xiao Yi to heal an immortal-level beast now."

Zhong Yi was only somewhat interested in treating the Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard.

Zhong Yi had never treated an Immortal-level beast tamer before, and he was also very curious to know how the Resurrection Celestial Lord's healing abilities were for Immortal-level beings.

But upon hearing that the Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard was severely injured, with its primordial-level internal injuries penetrating deep into its internal organs, they were immediately alarmed.

Zhong Yi immediately became interested and hoped to be able to treat the Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard.

The injuries sustained by the Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard were stored within the oasis surrounding the Resurrection God, accumulating resources to strengthen Zhongyi's trump card.

After Wen Tao's reminder, Cui Heng also realized that his behavior had been a bit excessive.

If the Star Emperor found out that a young man like Zhong Yi was going to treat the hidden injuries of an Immortal-level Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard, he would definitely be chased and scolded by the Star Emperor for half a month.

Just as Cui Heng was about to change the subject, Zhong Yi said with great interest.

"Old Cui, then summon your pet."

Before Cui Heng could summon the Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard, Zhong Yi had already summoned the Order Beast Rebirth Heavenly Lord.

Seeing the humanoid Order Beast summoned by Zhong Yi, Cui Heng couldn't change the subject any further, so he had no choice but to release the Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard from his storage pouch.

This is a snow-white leopard with cloud-shaped dark patterns hidden in its fur.

In the center of each cloud-shaped dark pattern is a dark purple leopard spot.

This Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard, whose strength has already reached the Immortal level, must be extremely large in size.

The Cloud-Stepping Leopard, which can mimic a size of less than one meter, is just like a lively house cat.

Without Cui Heng explaining the situation of the Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard, Zhong Yi had already instructed the Resurrection Celestial Lord to use the basic skill Resurrection Enlightenment on the Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard.

A beam of green light landed on the Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard, and the beam of light, full of healing energy, made the Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard squint its eyes comfortably.

Without Cui Heng needing to pet it, the Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard emitted a comfortable "purring" sound.

The sudden roar of the imperial engine caused the beast-riding carriage to tremble.

Zhong Yi did not rashly use the ability of "Object Detection" on the Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard.

Given the Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard's strength, Zhongyi's use of the All-Knowing Detection System would surely alert it.

Zhong Yi only intended to treat the Cloud-Treading Immortal Leopard's injuries, and the healing energy of the Resurrection God circulated within the Cloud-Treading Immortal Leopard's body.

They were already able to ascertain the specific injuries within the Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard's body.

As he watched the green light coursing through the body of the Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard, Zhong Yi's expression grew increasingly solemn.

Having never seen Zhong Yi heal before, Cui Heng thought to himself that healing an Immortal-level Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard was indeed too much of a stretch.

Zhong Yi's solemn expression made Cui Heng secretly worried.

Will Zhongyi never recover from this setback?

If such a situation were to occur, wouldn't I become a sinner of Star City?

"Mr. Cui, I can see that you have a very deep bond with the Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard."

"This Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard has six serious wounds on its body, yet it is still in such good condition. It must have been nourished with precious materials."

Zhong Yi's words caused Cui Heng, Wen Tao, and Sun Yushi, who was sitting to the side, to all show surprised expressions.

To Wen Tao and Sun Yushi's surprise, Zhong Yi was able to see the Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard's injuries.

What surprised Cui Heng was that the Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard only had five hidden injuries.

Where did this sixth place come from?!

Although he hadn't exchanged many words with Zhong Yi, based on their conversation, Cui Heng was convinced that Zhong Yi was not someone who spoke without reason.

"Xiao Yi, you said my Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard has six injuries. Why don't you describe them in detail?"

After a moment's consideration, Zhong Yi recounted what Su Sheng had discovered.

"The first injury is on the tailbone. The tailbone of the Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard must have been fractured before. Even after it healed, the severely damaged section of the tailbone still did not fully heal."

"The second wound was a claw mark on the left lung, the third wound was a claw mark on the left side of the heart, and the fourth wound was a penetrating injury to the liver."

"The fifth wound is on the leopard's gallbladder, which should still be in a shattered state."

"These wounds bear a distinct aura of the undead, and this aura is very consistent, suggesting they were all caused by the same undead creature."

Zhong Yi's words perfectly matched Cui Heng's understanding of the Cloud-Treading Immortal Leopard's injuries.

Furthermore, the second to fifth wounds that Zhongyi just mentioned were indeed caused by an immortal-level undead beast tamer.

Cui Heng had sought out many therapists to treat the Cloud-Treading Immortal Leopard.

Many healers failed to determine that the Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard was injured by a necromancer-type beast, mistakenly believing it was wounded by a curse-type monster.

The fact that Zhong Yi could clearly describe the Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard's injuries is enough to demonstrate his abilities.

"Xiaoyi, didn't you say you had six wounds?"

"Where is the other one?"

Zhong Yi asked Cui Heng.

"Elder Cui, this Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard should always be by your side. I wonder if it behaves strangely when the dark elemental energy is abundant at night."

"They may experience convulsions, faint, or suddenly become violent, exhibiting a brief loss of control."

Zhongyi understood the answer she wanted to ask from Cui Heng's expression.

"This sixth wound is in the soul of the Cloud-Treading Immortal Leopard."

"That undead creature must have the means to attack souls, or perhaps the Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard accidentally absorbed some of the undead creature's soul fire during the battle."

"This situation arose because the soul fire of that dead creature merged with the soul of the Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard."

As soon as Zhongyi uttered these words, the expressions of the three people in the carriage simultaneously darkened. The Cloud-Treading Immortal Leopard also slumped listlessly to the ground, burying its head in Cui Heng's arms.

Trauma at the spiritual level is more difficult to heal than trauma at the physical level.

Special cases are those where the soul of a deceased creature is corrupted, causing changes to the soul.

The souls of the dead are extremely powerful; one could say that the soul of the dead is its true form.

A soul altered by the soul fire of a dead creature cannot be restored.

And this change will continue to intensify over time.

Wen Tao looked at Cui Hengjia and asked.

"Did the situation described by Lu Yi occur when Elder Cui was fighting?"

After a long pause, Cui Heng shook his head and said.

"My injuries were extremely severe at the time, and I don't know exactly what happened."

"When I woke up, the undead creature was already dead, and the Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard and my natal beast, the Dark Blood Scythe Bat, were also seriously injured and unconscious beside me."

"However, what Lu Yi just mentioned does exist. The Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard has experienced fainting and convulsions at night."

"In the past two years, I have occasionally lost control of my body during convulsions."

As he spoke, Cui Heng reached out and pulled the leopard head into his arms, and a somber atmosphere filled the beast-taming carriage.

Zhong Yi coughed, breaking the atmosphere.

"Then I'll begin the treatment!"

"I've never treated an Immortal-level Beast Tamer before, so I can't guarantee it."

"However, Elder Cui, even if the soul of the Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard is truly tainted by the soul fire of the dead, it is not necessarily impossible for it to recover."

Since Zhong Yi boarded the beast-riding carriage, he has surprised the three of them more than once.

What Zhongyi said still surprised the three of them.

Cui Heng had always been puzzled as to why the Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard would exhibit those strange behaviors at night.

At first, Cui Heng thought that the Cloud-Treading Immortal Leopard's behavior was related to the damage to its internal organs.

Unexpectedly, the problem with the Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard lay in its soul. Although there are few examples of souls being altered by the soul fire of the dead, such cases do exist.

There has never been a precedent for healing this type of injury.

When Zhong Yi assessed the injuries of the Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard, he was certain of Zhong Yi's abilities.

However, Cui Heng was still not very optimistic and preferred to heal the soul trauma of the Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard.
