Destiny Beast Taming

Chapter 68 The Supreme Bloodlines of the Five Great Butterflies! (Seeking First Subscription)

Before even entering the Evolution Shop, Zhong Yi heard Zhong Ling's exclamation from the doorway.

"Wow! After Uncle Kai used that potion, the Shattered Blade Butterfly evolved into the Blade Butterfly."

"The patterns on the wings of the Blade Butterfly are very beautiful. The overlapping patterns on one wing increasingly resemble a peony."

"Uncle Kai, you're amazing! You're definitely the most amazing creator I've ever seen!"

While Zhong Ling watched with delight as the Blade Butterfly underwent a transformation and its bloodline improved, she praised Zhao Kai.

Zhao Kai was used to having a cold face and rarely smiled, but at this moment his handsome features smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum.

Back in Snowfortress City, Zhao Kai, a peak four-fingered creator, was admired and praised by countless people every day.

Zhao Kai thought he was already immune to such praise.

But now Zhao Kai felt somewhat lost in Zhong Ling's endless praise.

Zhao Kai was well aware that much of the praise he had received in the past was deliberate flattery and sycophancy.

At this moment, Zhong Ling's praise was a pure and heartfelt compliment.

In fact, Zhao Kai initially strongly resisted being called "Uncle Kai".

Before his injury, Zhao Kai looked like a handsome young man in his late twenties. It was the years of hardship that made him look like he was in his thirties or forties.

No one had ever addressed me as "uncle" before.

Zhao Kai then thought that Zhong Ling also called Zhong Chenghuai "uncle." Although Zhong Chenghuai looked like an old man, Zhao Kai's actual age was not much different from Zhong Chenghuai's.

He looks so young because his lifespan has increased due to the nourishment he receives from the beast taming.

In addition, as a refined man, Zhao Kai was also very keen on skin care before his injury.

In contrast, Zhong Chenghuai's natal beast suffered a fundamental injury just after reaching the extraordinary level, and he failed to improve the quality of his natal beast before reaching the extraordinary level, so his natal beast did not provide him with much benefit.

Once Zhong Chenghuai's beast-taming skills improve and his lifespan increases, although his appearance will no longer become younger, living another hundred years or so will not be a problem.

"Little Bell, this Blade Bee Butterfly has good potential. Judging from the changes in wing shape and wingbeat frequency, the unique characteristic of this Blade Bee Butterfly should be its ability to break apart."

"The unique trait 'Smash' allows this Blade Butterfly to shatter armor when attacking defensive targets with strong scales. The special high-frequency vibrations generated by the collision of its wings can directly create a gap in the scales of these highly defensive targets."

"This armor-piercing method for dealing with highly defensive targets is much better than ordinary armor-penetrating exclusive characteristics."

"Tomorrow I'll take you out to buy another three hundred Blade-Shattering Butterflies, and while we're at it, we'll recruit a few one- or two-finger Creators as apprentices."

"Have them cultivate all these Blade-Slaying Butterflies. You can select the most suitable ones to equip and use. The rest of the Blade-Slaying Butterflies can be sold in the shop."

It's a waste of talent to have Zhao Kai, a peak four-fingered creator, train these mortal beast-level beasts.

Within the group of creators, high-level creators usually recruit apprentices.

Once a high-level creator takes on apprentices, many low-level creators will voluntarily follow.

Learning the application of soul power and the skills of concocting potions under the tutelage of a high-level creator can save low-level creators decades of detours.

Generally speaking, if a creator with three or more fingers is willing to take on apprentices, many creators with one or two fingers are willing to pay to become their apprentices.

Although the difference between three-finger and two-finger creators is only one Soul Finger, it represents a huge dividing line between them.

Fifty two-finger creators may not be able to break through to become three-finger creators in their entire lives.

Becoming a three-finger creator is considered a high level of expertise, and such individuals will be sought after by powerful forces.

Of course, this was just Zhao Kai's idea. He was still going to ask Zhong Yi for her opinion on whether or not to recruit apprentices.

At this moment, both of them noticed Zhong Yi who had just entered the shop. Zhong Ling immediately urged the newly evolved Blade Butterfly to fly to Zhong Yi.

"Young master, look, this is the Blade Butterfly that Uncle Kai helped me enhance. Uncle Kai said that this Blade Butterfly's unique ability is particularly amazing."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Yi used his All-Knowing Detection skill to examine the data of the Blade Butterfly.

After investigating, Zhong Yi smiled and said.

"This Blade Butterfly's unique trait is a rare armor-piercing trait. If it reaches the Extraordinary rank, the skills it gains will be quite good."

"It is worthwhile for this Blade Bee Butterfly to evolve again, evolving into the Blade Princess Butterfly at the Extraordinary level."

"With dozens of Blade Princess Butterflies paired with some butterfly taming beasts with special functions to assist in battle, Little Bell, your strength might be comparable to those chosen ones."

Zhao Kai was somewhat surprised to hear Zhong Yi's words, although he could sense that Zhong Yi was very close to Zhong Ling and Zhong Chenghuai during dinner.

But when Zhao Kai and Zhong Ling went to the snack street that night, Zhao Kai learned from Zhong Ling that Zhong Ling and Zhong Chenghuai were actually Zhong Yi's servants.

The two were brought from the Lower City to the Upper City by Zhongyi's parents when Zhongyi was a child.

Given this relationship, it's surprising that Zhong Yi is willing to spend so many resources on Zhong Ling!

This shows that Zhongyi is extremely generous to those she approves of and also values ​​relationships.

In Zhao Kai's view, such a person is more worthy of following than someone who only values ​​the abilities of servants.

The Shattered Blade Butterfly is a very basic butterfly-type beast. Although this metal-type butterfly beast is indeed extremely brave in battle, it can cause considerable group damage with its skill, Blade Breaker.

However, because the Shattered Blade Butterfly is a melee unit, its wings are extremely vulnerable to injury during combat.

Even if the butterfly's wings are damaged, it won't be as severe as the severed limbs of other types of beasts, which are considered fundamental injuries that are difficult to recover from.

However, it will take several months to recover, and if the butterfly wings are severely damaged, it is possible that it may take one or two years to recover.

During this process, although the Shattered Blade Butterfly can still fight, its combat performance and strength will be greatly reduced.

Blade Butterfly and Shattered Blade Butterfly have the same problem; Blade Butterfly is essentially an extremely enhanced version of Shattered Blade Butterfly.

However, once the Blade Butterfly evolves into the Blade Princess Butterfly, its value undergoes a complete transformation.

The Blade Princess Butterfly belongs to the high-end level of the butterfly-type beast-taming pyramid.

For a Blade Butterfly to evolve into a Blade Princess Butterfly, it requires a lot of rare metal materials for induction, as well as a bottle of Blue Blade Potion that greatly tests the abilities of a three-fingered creator.

Among these rare metallic materials are mithril, produced by silver-eating insects devouring silver mines, and tungsten steel with a thousand blades.

While mithril, produced by silver-eating insects from silver mines, can still be purchased, tungsten steel is only produced in level two or higher underground dungeons, and the yield is extremely low.

The success rate of Blue Edge Potion is very low for ordinary three-finger crafters. Only high-level three-finger crafters can achieve a success rate of 50%.

The materials for Blue Edge Potion are even more expensive. The Blue Demon Needle Sunflower, a rare plant-type beast tamer, takes more than ten years to bloom, and each flower is extremely difficult to find.

It can be said that the cost of evolving the Blade Butterfly into the Blade Princess Butterfly is far greater than that of other extraordinary butterfly-type beast taming.

Among the extraordinary-level butterfly taming beasts, if there is a Blade Princess Butterfly for sale, even if its skills and exclusive characteristics are not very good, its price is often more than fifteen times that of ordinary butterfly taming beasts.

Judging from Zhong Yi's words, she seems to be planning to replace all the Shattered Blade Butterflies controlled by Zhong Ling with Blade Princess Butterflies in the future.

While the Blade Princess Butterfly is formidable in combat due to its exceptional regenerative abilities, there are other butterfly-type beasts that are less expensive but can replace it in terms of power and endurance.

Zhong Yi wanted to replace all of Zhong Ling's Shattered Blade Butterflies with Blade Princess Butterflies, and he might even consider replacing the Blade Princess Butterflies controlled by Zhong Ling with Blade Queen Butterflies in the future.

The Blade Queen Butterfly is one of the five supreme bloodlines among butterfly-type beast tamers, and its future potential is limitless.

Legend has it that the Skybreaker Queen Butterfly, one of the two evolutionary branches of the Blade Queen Butterfly, can cleave mountains and tear through the void with a flap of its wings.

With Zhao Kai's current abilities as a peak four-finger creator, he can still evolve the Blade Princess Butterfly into the Blade Queen Butterfly, but it would be difficult for him to evolve the Blade Queen Butterfly into the Shattered Void Queen Butterfly.

"Young Master passed the four-finger Creator badge again today. Tomorrow I'm thinking of recruiting a few one-finger and two-finger Creators from the Creator Guild."

"With them around, we can create a lot of productivity, so that many of the beasts in the shop can be sold after their quality is improved."

Zhao Kai spoke very seriously, firstly because he was genuinely considering Zhong Yi's feelings.

Secondly, Zhao Kai, who had spent the first half of his life as a lone wolf and had never even taken on an apprentice, was now planning to take on disciples.

Zhong Yi pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then said in a very serious tone.

"Uncle Kai, even if you hadn't brought this up tonight, I was already thinking of asking you to recruit some apprentices."

"I just want you to recruit not apprentices who can leave at any time, but creators who can serve me from now on."

From the moment Zhong Yi arrived in this world, she had the idea of ​​building a powerful force.

In order to build a faction, the core, besides high-end combat power, is the creator.

To some extent, creators represent productivity and are a pillar of a power's economy.

Especially when a force is in its development stage!

The apprentice creators recruited by Zhao Kai can also create productivity, but these apprentices are uncontrollable and can leave at any time.

Over time, creators who are fond of working alongside you will inevitably learn some secrets.

Zhong Yi was not at ease letting these creators leave, so the most basic condition for recruiting creator apprentices was to ensure that they could continue to serve the forces Zhong Yi was building.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Kai paused slightly and quickly understood Zhong Yi's thoughts.

If someone else had said such a thing to Zhao Kai, he would have thought that the person was being too naive.

The person who said these words was Chung Yi, who was also a chosen one to be a healer.

Who in the world is more qualified to say such a thing than a healer destined for greatness?!

"Young Master, I understand what you mean. If we want to find a creator who can serve you long-term, we need to understand the apprentice's wishes and also investigate the apprentice's background."

"Controlling a Creator is much easier than controlling an ordinary Beast Tamer. I previously had a Soul Imprint Jasmine under contract."

"By intertwining my soul power with the flowers of the Soul Imprint Jasmine, I can form a special soul imprint that can be controlled by the Soul Imprint Jasmine."

"This kind of soul imprint that can act on the soul is not as controllable as the insect eggs you gave me, young master, but this soul imprint that is intertwined with my soul power can control the creator very well."

"Once Jasmine detonates the Soul Seal, my soul power will be mixed into the soul of the controlled Creator, causing them to lose sensitive control over their soul and thus lose their function as a Creator."

"The effects caused by the detonation of the soul imprint generated by the soul imprint jasmine are not considered soul trauma, and there is no way to cure it."

"Even those six-fingered creators use Soul Imprint Jasmine to control their disciples."

"I don't think any fool would be willing to betray us at the cost of their status and abilities as a Creator."

Zhong Yi nodded upon hearing this and said with a smile, "Brother Zhao, it's good that you have a way to control those low-level Creators. I'm very relieved to leave this matter to you."

"After I become the Chosen One, I can choose a residence in the central city. I plan to close this beast-taming shop on South Cross Street and open a new shop in the central city."

"The mansion I was assigned can serve as the new business location for the Evolution Shop."

"I will choose the location of the mansion tomorrow, and then you can just arrange for the apprentices you have recruited to go there."

Zhongyi is a person who strives for stability in everything she does and hates any uncertainties or unexpected events.

However, Zhong Yi wouldn't personally control all the Creator Apprentices that Zhao Kai recruited, firstly because the Soul-Imprisoning Gu Mother couldn't produce that many eggs.

Zhong Yi prefers to give the eggs produced by the Soul-Imprisoning Gu Mother to people like Zhao Kai who can create enough value.

Secondly, Zhong Yi was well aware that if she wanted to build a power base, she couldn't do everything herself.

Now that Zhong Yi has control over Zhao Kai, she can confidently let Zhao Kai do many things.

When Zhong Ling heard that Zhong Yi planned to close the Evolution Shop, a fleeting look of sadness and reluctance crossed her face.

But when she heard that Zhong Yi planned to open the Evolution Shop in the central city, Zhong Ling's face immediately lit up with excitement and anticipation.

The melancholy and reluctance that hadn't even been on his face for three seconds vanished in an instant.

As the saying goes, people strive to rise higher, and water flows downhill.

It had always been the dream of Zhongyi's parents to open a small beast-taming shop located at the border of the upper and lower city areas in the central city area.

It was also Zhong Ling and Zhong Chenghuai's dream.

It's like someone who used to run a grocery store in an old neighborhood, and one day opened the store in a CBD building in the city center.

Even if this person is nostalgic, they won't miss the grocery store they used to run in the residential area.

When Zhao Kai heard that Zhong Yi had entrusted him with the task of recruiting creators, he was very grateful for Zhong Yi's trust in him.

This gave Zhao Kai a brand new goal, in addition to improving his abilities as a creator.
