Destiny Beast Taming

Chapter 77 The Fountain of Life and the Oasis Mandala!

Even for those destined for greatness, a Heart of a Secret Realm is undoubtedly a tremendous opportunity.

Lin Zhuo knew that Zhong Yi's exploration of the Horned Demon Secret Realm had reached 100%, so he was certain that Zhong Yi had obtained the Heart of the Horned Demon Secret Realm.

However, Lin Zhuo never mentioned the Heart of the Secret Realm to Zhong Yi, because she knew that the Heart of the Secret Realm was extremely precious.

Different types of Secret Realm Hearts can also be exchanged.

Even if this fire-attribute Secret Realm Heart is not suitable for Zhong Yi, Zhong Yi can still use it to exchange for an equivalent one with other Beast Tamers who possess Secret Realm Hearts.

Lin Zhuo never expected that Zhong Yi would give him the Heart of the Secret Realm, which he obtained from the Horned Demon Secret Realm.

Even though Lin Zhuo desperately craved a fire-attribute Secret Realm Heart, he did not reach out and accept the Secret Realm Heart that Zhong Yi offered.

Instead, he said it in a very serious tone.

"Xiao Yi, this Heart of the Secret Realm is too precious; I cannot accept it."

"Besides, I'm not helping you because I want anything in return."

"Perhaps you don't yet understand the value of the Heart of the Mystic Realm, let me tell you..."

Zhong Yi listened attentively as Lin Zhuo explained the benefits of the Heart of the Secret Realm, a treasure for the soul foundation.

"Xiao Yi, after all I've said, you should now understand just how important a Heart of the Mystic Realm is!"

Zhong Yi nodded seriously upon hearing this.

"Sister Zhuo, I understand."

As the designer of the game data, Zhong Yi was the one who originally established the function of the Heart of the Secret Realm.

No one understands the function and value of the Heart of the Secret Realm better than Zhong Yi.

Seeing Zhong Yi nod, Lin Zhuo was about to ask Zhong Yi to take back the Heart of the Secret Realm when he heard Zhong Yi say something.

"I know, but I still want to give this Heart of the Secret Realm to Sister Zhuo."

"I will have another chance to obtain the Heart of the Realm when I explore other secret realms later."

"It's just that we might not be able to obtain a Secret Realm Heart that fits your Soul Foundation so well again in the future, Sister Zhuo."

Zhong Yi has always viewed the Heart of the Secret Realm as a way to add new attributes to the Soul Base.

It allows one's own soul base to create a suitable living environment for beasts of other attributes.

After all, the attributes of a Beastmaster's Soul Foundation are determined by their natal Beast.

But in the entire world of beast taming, perhaps only Zhong Yi would have such thoughts.

Firstly, the reason why the beast-taming contract consumes the Soul Seed, not one's own soul power.

This allows Zhongyi to freely contract many different types and attributes of beasts.

Unlike other beast tamers who can only choose to form contracts with beasts that match their own, this one is different.

Secondly, Zhongyi knew that she could continuously obtain the Heart of the Secret Realm.

The foundation for the concept of "Zhongyi" is having a continuous source of Secret Realm Hearts.

Even if a Beast Tamer, a Chosen One, or a Mysterious Being in this world is capable of obtaining the Heart of the Secret Realm, they still face immense risks and a near-death experience.

Moreover, even if you reach 100% exploration progress and obtain a Secret Realm Heart, several people still need to share it.

Given the scarcity of Secret Realm Hearts, people will only choose Secret Realm Hearts that match their own Soul Base attributes to enhance their Soul Base.

Lin Zhuo and Wen Tao were no exception.

Zhong Yi gave Lin Zhuo the Heart of the Secret Realm, which he had obtained in the Horned Demon Secret Realm, not out of politeness.

Instead, they prefer to make decisions after careful consideration.

Naturally, the Heart of the Secret Realm would not be taken back just because Lin Zhuo emphasized its value.

Seeing Zhong Yi's sincere gaze, Lin Zhuo and Wen Tao were both somewhat moved.

"Sister Zhuo, when you gave me things, I accepted them without any politeness."

"If you're being so polite to me now, how can I possibly accept anything from you in the future?"

Hearing Zhong Yi say this, Lin Zhuo smiled freely and accepted the Heart of the Secret Realm that Zhong Yi handed over.

"Xiao Yi, you really gave me a pleasant surprise today!"

"This Heart of the Secret Realm is extremely useful to me!"

"By the way, Xiaoyi, your Order Beast controls the healing-type rules."

"Do you know what materials your Order Beast needs to upgrade its rank and quality?"

"The materials used to guide the advancement of the Order Beast's rank and quality have a significant impact on its future development."

"If you still don't have an idea, why not spend a few months studying at Starlight Academy?"

"Starlight Academy will give you the best educational resources."

"Never carelessly upgrade your Order Beasts; if you go down the wrong path, there's no way to make up for it."

Zhong Yi smiled and said this.

"Sister Zhuo, I've already selected the materials I need to upgrade the rank and quality of my Order Beast."

"We've been waiting for the potential points for the chosen ones to be distributed."

"I'll skip Starlight Academy for now. I can go there later if I feel there's anything I need to learn."

He jokingly said that he was like an encyclopedia of the beast-taming world, so why would he need to go to the Starlight Academy to learn?

Upon hearing this, Wen Tao spoke to Zhong Yi in a gentler tone than usual.

"Since you've already determined the materials needed for the Order Beast's advancement and quality improvement, why don't you tell me the materials you need now?"

"Some materials are too obscure and rare, and you may not be able to exchange them even with points."

Zhong Yi had originally intended to ask Lin Zhuo and Wen Tao for help in finding materials for the evolution of the Resurrection God.

"Brother Tao, I need a complete Oasis Datura plant and the source of a life-giving spring."

Wen Tao was somewhat surprised to hear Zhong Yi's request, as both the Oasis Mandala and the source of the Vitality Spring were extremely rare finds.

The Vitality Spring is a special spiritual spring that can only appear deep in the vast forest.

The water of the Vitality Spring has the effect of healing diseases and restoring injuries. It can be said that each Vitality Spring is a blessing for the animals in a forest.

Oasis datura is a special plant species that grows in vast deserts and is used to ward off beasts.

Whenever the Oasis Datura blooms, a large oasis will form in the desert centered around it.

The oasis mandala uses its roots to absorb moisture and energy from the desert, thus strengthening the oasis supported by its root system.

In the vast desert, whenever a Datura stramonium appears, a large number of creatures will make this oasis their home.

But ironically, just when the Oasis Datura is at its most beautiful, it will fall into another cycle of withering and flourishing.

At the moment the oasis datura withers, its massive root system no longer locks in moisture and energy.

The oasis will collapse in less than a day, and all creatures living in the oasis will turn to bones along with the withered stamens of the oasis mandala.

Buried by sandstorms, they enter the next cycle of reincarnation.

It can be said that the oasis mandala is the gentlest yet most wicked creature in the desert.

Zhong Yi's ability to directly specify the required materials demonstrates that he has his own ideas about raising Order Beasts.

Wen Tao recalled that Lin Zhuo had mentioned last night that Zhao Kai, a peak four-fingered creator, had been successfully cured by Zhong Yi.

She chose to stay by Zhongyi's side.

It's likely that these two materials were suggestions Zhao Kai made to Zhong Yi based on her ideas.

"I have the source of the Fountain of Life in my hands, and I know someone who has a collection of Oasis Mandala."

"It will take at least a week to obtain the Oasis Mandala. After a week, I will give you both the Oasis Mandala and the source of the Fountain of Life."

When Wen Tao handed the Instant Jade to Zhong Yi, he also regarded himself as Zhong Yi's protector.

However, guardians are not the same as parents; they will not give unconditionally.

Both the spring of vitality and the oasis mandala are extremely precious materials.

Wen Tao paid a heavy price to obtain the source of the Vitality Spring.

Moreover, the price to pay for obtaining Oasis Mandala from others may be even greater.

Two hours ago, Wen Tao would never have been willing to make such a sacrifice for Zhong Yi.

Wen Tao is doing this for two reasons. First, he gave the Heart of the Secret Realm to Lin Zhuo through Zhong Yi, and he knows that Zhong Yi is a very grateful person.

No matter how much you give to someone like that, you will always receive a corresponding reward.

Secondly, it was because Zhongyi helped Lin Zhuo and fulfilled one of Lin Zhuo's wishes.

This really pleased Wen Tao!

Zhong Yi was originally worried about the materials needed for the advancement of the Celestial Lord's rank and quality, but now she heard that Wen Tao could get them for her in a week.

Zhong Yi felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders and said happily.

"Brother Tao, could you convert these two materials into potential points for me? I'll give them to you as soon as I have enough potential points."

Lin Zhuo and Wen Tao both had many things to do because two mythical-level monsters were hiding in Star City.

After telling Wen Tao and Lin Zhuo about the situation, Zhong Yi had done everything he needed to do.

I decided to ride the beast-taming carriage back to the Evolution Shop.

When Zhong Yi returned to the Evolution Shop, Zhao Kai, Zhong Ling, and Zhong Chenghuai had not yet returned.

Shen Xuan, having already tidied himself up and dressed in a beige tracksuit, stood at the door waiting for Zhong Yi with great anticipation.

This beige tracksuit was the most worn-out piece of clothing in Zhongyi's previous wardrobe.

Because Zhong Yi's figure is similar to Shen Xuan's, and their heights are about the same.

Because she was in a hurry when she came back, Zhongyi didn't buy clothes for Shen Xuan. She thought she would let Shen Xuan take a shower and then pick out a set of clothes from her own wardrobe to change into.

As a result, Shen Xuan put on the most worn-out clothes, even with a tear in the cuff, which made Zhong Yi feel somewhat helpless.

After cleaning, Shen Xuan's hair was no longer oily, but his skin still looked covered with purple marks of varying shades.

After his entire face was washed clean, the slave mark from the Green Field Tavern on his left cheek became even more conspicuous.

Upon seeing Zhong Yi return, Shen Xuan's tense face immediately broke into a relieved smile.

She hurriedly ran to greet Zhong Yi, and as soon as she got to Zhong Yi, she wanted to kneel down.

Shen Xuan's process is exactly the same as the Green Field Tavern's training process for slaves.

Before Shen Xuan could even kneel down, Zhong Yi forcefully pulled him up from his bent knees.

"Shen Xuan, I've already told you, I bought you from Green Field Tavern, you no longer need to treat yourself as a slave."

"I will find a way to remove the slave mark on your face, but you will have to suffer some pain."

When Shen Xuan first arrived at this little evolution shop, he was quite happy.

Because we truly left a place like Green Field Tavern and arrived at a completely new environment.

Moreover, Zhong Yi is full of kindness towards herself!

When he met someone he liked, Shen Xuan finally understood what it felt like to be cared for.

But before Shen Xuan even entered the bathroom, his heart was already racing.

She was afraid that Zhongyi wouldn't come back for a long time after leaving, and even if she did, she might not notice her again.

Shen Xuan knew very well that with his body covered in purple marks, he had no competitive advantage over others.

Forget about competitiveness, Shen Xuan felt that not being treated as a monster was a form of respect for himself.

When I was looking for clothes to wear, I didn't even dare to look for anything I liked.

She only dared to carefully choose the most tattered piece of clothing to wear.

Because Shen Xuan was extremely insecure, he genuinely felt that he was unworthy to do many things.

If you actually do it, you're very likely to be disliked by others.

Having finally seen Zhong Yi return, Shen Xuan subconsciously used the methods of flattering his master that he had learned at the Green Field Tavern on Zhong Yi.

As a result, Zhong Yi emphasized once again that he should stop treating himself like a slave.

Not only that, it can even help remove the slave marks on my face.

Ever since the Green Leaf Tavern's slave tattoo was etched onto his face, Shen Xuan has hated its existence every single day.

This slave mark was constantly eroding Shen Xuan's heart, reminding him of his slave status every time he looked in the mirror.

Can this mark be removed?

If he could get rid of it, Shen Xuan would be willing to endure anything, even suffering the pain of having his flesh cut with a knife every day.

"Master, can I really get rid of the slave markings?"

Seeing Shen Xuan's joyful and determined expression, I took him into the store.

He gently patted Shen Xuan's shoulder with his right hand and then said.

"Not only the slave marks, but these purplish-black marks on your body can also be removed."

Shen Xuan's emotions fluctuated wildly that day. He was already excited when Zhong Yi told him that the slave mark on his face could be removed.

Hearing Zhong Yi say that he could remove the purple mark on his body, Shen Xuan was so excited that his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Zhong Yi saw Shen Xuan's appearance and decided to tell him that Shen Xuan would become a chosen one after awakening his soul foundation.

It also explains the status of those destined for heaven among humankind.

Hearing Zhong Yi's words, Shen Xuan was completely bewildered.

For a moment, he couldn't understand what Zhong Yi meant and just stared blankly at her.

After all, even awakening his soul foundation was a luxury for Shen Xuan before. He simply couldn't understand the meaning and significance of the Chosen One and the Order Beast.

Zhong Yi knew very well that Shen Xuan needed time to process this information.

Zhongyi looked at Shen Xuan's worn-out gray clothes and said.

"First, remove the slave mark from your left cheek, then go and change your clothes."

"Otherwise, if you get blood all over your clothes, you'll still have to go get a new change."

"After becoming a Chosen One, I hope you can join my team and become my teammate."

"If you don't want to form your own team, someone will arrange it for you."

Zhongyi originally had two plans for Shen Xuan, but after much deliberation, she decided to let Shen Xuan make the decision himself.
