You were given the ability to tame beasts, not to become a god-level breeder.

"Didn't pass?"

Jiang Fan looked at his phone and scratched his head.

His application for the Lotus Fairy Pond was rejected by Hualien County.

The Lotus Fairy Pond is the lotus pond where the Lotus Fairy was born.

The reasons for rejection consisted of a long string of official rhetoric.

Jiang Fan glanced at it and got straight to the point.

Informal trainer.

If that's the case, then so be it; Jiang Fan could simply find a Level 1 trainer to join the research group.

However, Hualien County's rejection statement contained other interpretations.

Due to the large number of applications submitted for the Lotus Fairy Pond research project, even those meeting all eligibility requirements must be included in a unified queuing and review process. As of now, the waiting period has been extended to fifteen days.

"Does that mean we have to wait at least fifteen days to meet the requirement of having one Level 1 trainer in the research group?"

Can Jiang Fan wait?

That's something we can't wait for.

He is not an inflexible person.

then.

Find Zhuang Zhenyu's phone number and call him directly.

beep...

The dial tone continued to ring, and Jiang Fan thought that his master didn't even have a ringback tone or anything.

People like Master, who are usually 87 years old, usually like to set ringback tones for their mobile phones.

Not long after.

The call was connected.

"Disciple, is there...something...important...that...is..."

Zhuang Zhenyu's voice came through intermittently, seemingly due to a poor signal.

"It's nothing, I was just doing my research..."

Jiang Fan was terrified, and could vaguely hear the roars of many ferocious beasts coming from the receiver.

Even through the receiver, he felt his whole body tremble, as if his blood had frozen.

"Make it short, condense it into one sentence." Zhuang Zhenyu's intermittent voice came through, and another old voice could be heard shouting anxiously.

"My application to use the Lotus Fairy Pond for research on lotus fairy spirits was rejected by Hualien County."

"..." A deep breath came from the receiver, followed by Zhuang Zhenyu's quick reply: "You're bothering me with this trivial matter? Just go find Fang Cunxing, or just shout it out in the 'Laughing in the Hall' group."

After saying that, Zhuang Zhenyu hung up the phone without wasting a second.

"A group that bursts into laughter? It's more like a group for filial sons."

"Where is Master? Why are you in such a hurry..."

"They say people become quieter as they get older, but Master is still so impatient."

Jiang Fan shook his head and called Fang Cunxing.

Compared to the senior brothers and sisters in Zhuang Xiaozi, I am more familiar with Senior Brother Fang.

at the same time.

A certain alien space.

Blue sky and white clouds, with ten burning purple suns hanging in the sky.

On the boundless golden desert, two beasts galloped ahead, while tens of thousands of ferocious beasts chased after them, stirring up clouds of yellow sand that blotted out the sun.

Two figures were perched on the two beasts ahead; they were none other than Zhuang Zhenyu and Li Gou.

Li Gou has thick black hair and smooth, wrinkle-free skin, making him look like a young man in his early twenties, full of vigor and vitality.

This is not.

A few days ago, Li Gou received news that a new type of resource-type beast had been discovered in this alien land, and its value was enormous.

After discussing it, the two decided to come over since they had nothing better to do.

Who would have thought I'd been tricked by foreigners!

The news was true, but before the two beast tamers could even see the resource-type beasts, the ambushing aliens attacked.

The scene was truly spectacular, with red flags waving and a sea of ​​people and animals.

Each of them was an elite force, with the hundred leaders being a hundred foreign kings, and the remaining nearly ten thousand foreigners were all at the king level.

"This new Fire Python King is utterly rude! We are guests, and we have come from afar. Not only are we not welcome, but we are also ready to fight. He is truly a barbarian!"

Li Gou turned to look at the foreigners relentlessly pursuing him, and cursed them. Then he added, "By the way, whose call was that? You answered it! Don't you think Star Dollars are free?"

Cross-border communication is very expensive, charged by the second, and cannot be paid for with credits.

"Xiao Fan's phone call."

"He wanted to study the lotus fairy, but his application for the Lotus Fairy Pond was rejected, so he came to me."

Seeing that the foreigners riding beasts behind them suddenly accelerated, showing signs of catching up, they realized that the foreigners were about to catch up.

Zhuang Zhenyu squinted and casually pulled out a prop from his treasure bag and threw it behind him.

The moment the prop landed, it was as if a sun had risen, instantly melting away the nearby beasts and foreigners who were radiating a halo.

As the halo disappeared, the speed of the group of aliens who had suddenly accelerated gradually returned to normal.

"That's it? You wasted your Star Essence on this?"

"You usually don't answer your apprentices' calls when you're in a foreign land..."

Li Gou wanted to say something more, but his bracelet suddenly started vibrating.

Upon seeing the caller's name, Li Gou's face instantly lit up with a smile. After answering, he spoke softly, "Hey, what's up, my little apprentice? Oh, is there a problem with the inheritance of the Fire Slash skill in the Fire Mantis? That shouldn't be the case. Think back carefully, is it possible that some variable wasn't properly controlled during the experiment, or is there a problem with the individual..."

Zhuang Zhenyu rolled his eyes.

Nearly half a minute later, Li Gou reluctantly hung up the phone.

Seeing Zhuang Zhenyu roll his eyes, Li Gou scoffed, "My disciple has a serious question. What is your disciple doing, researching lotus demons? What nonsense could he possibly come up with!"

"Does that make your apprentice seem impressive, while my apprentice isn't?"

"If it were a different beast tamer, I wouldn't dare say that, but do you and I not know the situation of the Lotus Fairy?"

"Over eighty years, countless cultivators and resources have been involved. You, me, and two other Hall of Fame level cultivators, a total of four Hall of Fame level cultivators, and more than a thousand level seven cultivators have conducted research. In the end, we came to a conclusion that the Lotus Fairy either had no evolution potential and was born by chance after the death of the Lotus Fairy, or it evolved through willpower."

"In that case, if your disciple can discover anything about the Lotus Fairy—not even its evolved form, just proving that the Lotus Fairy has the potential to evolve—you can choose any of my secret realms!"

Li Gou waved his hand confidently.

"Okay! You said it yourself."

"I recorded both the screen and audio."

Zhuang Zhenyu agreed with a smile.

Since it's a risk-free business, why not do it?

Li Gou's secret realms are all excellent, no matter which one you choose!

"Damn it, you even screen-recorded it!"

Li Gou laughed and cursed, looking completely unconcerned.

He knew that Jiang Fan showed exceptional talent in taming bronze-grade beasts.

But what is the Lotus Fairy?

That's because 99% of evolution is related to idealism.

What is idealism?

It's not objective; it's purely subjective.

What can Jiang Fan possibly research?

"Damn it, can you please stop swearing?"

"I think the leader looks a bit like you. Could he be the son of that princess from back then?"

"Bullshit! We humans and the Fire Pythons have reproductive isolation. You're more likely to say that the Water Queen's child is mine!"

"Damn it, when did you get involved with Princess Shuize?"

"It was a dark and stormy night when you weren't there. Princess Shuize, who had gone out to admire the flowers, was being chased by the Fire Python King's men. I couldn't bear to see her perish..."

Zhuang Zhenyu said coldly, "The people of the Water Marsh and the Fire Python have always been irreconcilable enemies, but the Fire Python King's people have appeared within the Water Marsh City area. Are you sure they're not chasing you but specifically looking for the Water Marsh Queen?"

Just as Li Gou was about to say something, a deafening sound, a broken Common tongue, drowned out the wind and the roars of beasts, echoing throughout the desert and reverberating across heaven and earth.

"Li Cao, you stop right there!"

Li Gou's expression changed; this name was the alias he used during his operations in foreign lands.

"Old Li, you son of a bitch, this fishing trip was all about you!"

After saying that, Zhuang Zhenyu turned around and shouted in the Common Language, "Respected new Fire Python King, I have absolutely no connection with this heartless Li Cao. Can you let me leave?"

"Humans are cunning, no way!"

"You damned Fire Python King!"

Zhuang Zhenyu cursed loudly, it was unclear whether he was cursing the Fire Mang Princess or Li Gou, and after cursing, he continued to flee for his life in a hurry.

at the same time.

Fang Cunxing's call went through.

When Jiang Fan explained the situation, Fang Cunxing's response stunned him.

"Junior brother, there's nothing I can do about this."

"what?"

"Don't rush."

"..."
