Genius Beast Taming: Starting from Awakening an S-Rank Talent

Kunling King of the Qiongqi Meng family did not give up, but instead praised Zhou Heng even more enthusiastically: "This old man is not flattering the young alliance leader against his will. It is just that the young alliance leader is so young and about to be promoted to a diamond-level nurturer. This is indeed very rare and can be said to be one of the most rare in history."

Zhou Heng had already seen through Kunling King's ulterior motives, but he maintained the attitude of not hitting a smiling face: "It's one thing for others to say such things, but as one of the few mythical-level nurturing masters in the alliance, the Seventeenth Elder's talent in nurturing is extraordinary. When he was young, he was probably no worse than me."

The Kunling King of the Qiongqi Meng family became increasingly exaggerated, practically praising Zhou Heng to the heavens: "When I was young, I wasn't as powerful as the young alliance leader. I only started seriously aspiring to become a nurturer during my university years. However, I wasted the first four years of my eight years in university, which wouldn't be an exaggeration to say. By my senior year, I was only a bronze nurturer. After starting graduate school, I became more serious and became a silver nurturer, only advancing to gold nurturer after graduating with my doctorate. The young alliance leader is only a sophomore now, yet he has already become a high-level gold nurturer. In every aspect, he far surpasses me."

Zhou Heng remained calm and unmoved: "On the surface, Elder Seventeen was indeed a bit slower than me in the early stages of becoming a nurturer, but Elder Seventeen is now a Mythical Nurturer, surpassing most nurturers in the universe. This shows that the path of nurturers is not one where you can necessarily achieve something just by progressing quickly in the early stages."

Kunling King of the Qiongqi Meng family smiled obsequiously: "You can't say that. Not only does the young alliance leader walk fast, but he also walks steadily, which is something that ordinary cultivators cannot compare to. In short, I have high hopes for the young alliance leader. Perhaps one day, you will also become a mythical cultivator."

Zhou Heng casually replied, "Then I'll take the Seventeenth Elder's auspicious words as my guide."

Kunling King of the Qiongqi Meng family waved his hand and took out a black rhombus-shaped jade talisman: "This contains some of my insights on nurturing masters over the years. When you have time, Little Alliance Master, you can take a look. Perhaps it can provide you with some small references."

Zhou Heng tried to decline, saying, "This item is too precious. As a mythology nurturer, Elder Seventeen, this jade talisman contains many years of his insights and can be considered a priceless treasure."

Kunling King of the Qiongqi Meng family saw things very clearly and understood perfectly: "For those outside the aristocratic families, this is indeed a priceless treasure, but for the young alliance leader, it's really nothing. Although the number of mythical cultivators is small, considering those that have appeared in history, it's not as few as you might imagine. Which large aristocratic family doesn't have a few insights into mythical cultivators? Most of them have been converted into notes and preserved. These things can all be copied, and for someone at your level, they are just ordinary items."

Zhou Heng only said the good points: "You can't say that. Every mythical-level cultivator has their own unique skills. Even if I can see the notes left by other mythical cultivators, it doesn't mean that Elder Seventeen's insights are unimportant."

Although Kunling King of the Qiongqi Meng family knew that Zhou Heng was just being polite, he couldn't help but feel happy: "If my insights can really help the young alliance leader, it would be the greatest honor of my life."

Zhou Heng's expression softened further: "Seventeenth Elder, thank you. Your Qiongqi Meng family has given me a lot of resources before, and this time you have given me an unexpected gift."

Kunling King of the Qiongqi Meng family said, "Our Qiongqi Meng family has always wanted to befriend the Shenlong Zhou family, but unfortunately we have never had a suitable opportunity. The main reason is that our little alliance leader has the Supreme Alliance Leader protecting him, so he lacks nothing. Even if we wanted to give a gift, we wouldn't know what to give."

Zhou Heng said meaningfully, "Seventeenth Elder, there's no need to rush these things. There's plenty of time. Some things need time to settle."

Kunling King of the Qiongqi Meng family understood Zhou Heng's implied meaning: "Thank you for your guidance, Little Alliance Leader."

To further advance the relationship with the Zhou family of Shenlong, one needs to undergo a long period of observation by the Zhou family.

Zhou Heng remained calm and composed, saying, "Seventeenth Elder, you're too kind."

Kunling King of the Qiongqi Meng family rose and bowed: "Young Alliance Leader, if there is nothing else, this old man will take his leave."

Zhou Heng also stood up: "Take care, Seventeenth Elder."

Kunling King of the Qiongqi Meng family turned around and said, "Young Alliance Leader, please wait."

Zhou Heng gave Tianyin Hou a wink: "Junior Nephew Tianyin, please see Elder Seventeen off for me."

Marquis Tianyin immediately accepted the order: "Yes."

After Tianyin Hou sent Kunling Wang of the Qiongqi Meng family away, Zhou Heng's brow and eyes glowed with purple light. He probed the black rhombus-shaped jade talisman with his spiritual power and began to read Kunling Wang's insights on the profession of nurturer.

Several hours later, the light in Zhou Heng's brow and eyes finally faded completely.

The black jade talisman contained what was said to be the insights of the Kunling King, but it also contained many of the Kunling King's experiences on his path to becoming a breeder, as well as some unique tips for raising and taming beasts. It was essentially a huge experience pack.

So Zhou Heng spent several hours and only skimmed through it. He would need more time to fully digest the experience package.

The three-headed Azure Phoenix perched on Zhou Heng's shoulder, craning its neck towards him: "Father, is what the Kunling King gave you useful?"

Zhou Heng toyed with the black jade talisman: "It's somewhat useful, but not as much as I imagined. I previously looked through some notes left by our ancestors who embarked on the path of nurturing masters in the family. Nurturing masters are different from blacksmiths and alchemists. Others' things can only be used as a reference. To become a powerful nurturing master, you must forge your own path."

The Zhou family of Shenlong has not yet produced any mythology nurturers in this generation, but it has a history of more than three thousand years and has produced mythology nurturers in the past.

The Netherworld Demon Dragon pursed its lips: "It seems that what the Kunling King gave away was completely worthless!"

Zhou Heng's perspective on things was very objective: "It can't be said that way. The reason why this thing is of average value to me is that, given my status, even if I wanted to read through all the notes left by all the mythical cultivators throughout history, it wouldn't be a difficult task, so this insight seems unremarkable. But for those cultivators who are not from top-tier backgrounds, the value of this insight is immeasurable."

The Guixu Divine Dragon, which was wrapped around Zhou Heng's wrist, moved its claws: "The problem is that those cultivators from ordinary backgrounds simply cannot obtain the insights of mythical cultivators."
