Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand-Chapter 549 - 341: Immortal Fox Taihua

This is not just a little; soon the city gates were packed to the brim.

Among the three, the most popular was naturally Qin Shaoshao.

Because many people are grateful for Qin Shaoshao saving them.

Secondly, it was Lin Chen.

His reputation has already surpassed that of Ning Ye.

However, Ning Ye, as the head of Jiuxing City’s leading family, does not lack prestige.

"Everyone, I went to South City this time and have discussed with President Chen Ming about the share belonging to us in Jiuxing City. We have Divine Venerable Qin leading us, contributing significantly in this chaotic battle. This time, the resources we can enjoy are ranked fourth," Ning Ye said.

Hearing that they ranked fourth, many people’s eyes sparkled.

Though the South is vast and Jiuxing City is just a small city among many, many people had not heard of it before.

To enjoy resources and rank among the top four.

"This also contributes to Lin Chen’s achievements and influence..."

Ning Ye pointed at Lin Chen.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen smiled wryly but understood that Ning Ye intended to build his prestige.

"Lin Chen has contributed a lot in this chaos, even taking on a strike from the Nine Netherworld Snake head-on, and single-handedly rescued Jiuxing City," Ning Ye continued:

"President Chen Ming said that Lin Chen will serve as the Vice President of the Southern Monster Hunter Guild, and from today, he will temporarily replace President Lee Zhen to lead us in rebuilding our home."

With that said, Ning Ye led the applause.

The crowd cheered, some even chanting Lin Chen’s name.

Lin Chen felt a bit awkward but joined in the applause following suit.

Although he had traveled to many places, with many forces trying to win him over, he was still very fond of Jiuxing City.

This might be what people often say, that a man’s roots are his birthplace, no matter how poor or broken it is.

Bidding farewell to the crowd and entering the city, heads of forces like the Lee Family had been waiting for long. Seeing Lin Chen and Ning Ye return together, they hurried forward.

"How’s it going?"

"Currently, we only see the tip of the iceberg," Lee Zaiqing’s father, Lee Gao, answered Ning Ye while walking.

"Not the entrance?"

"It should not be the entrance."

Entering the temporarily constructed City Lord’s Mansion, many familiar faces had arrived. These were heads of various forces in Jiuxing City, and the former City Lord, Pang Yuanzheng, was also present.

As soon as he walked in, Pang Yuanzheng respectfully invited Qin Shaoshao to take the main seat, but Qin Shaoshao was clearly uninterested.

Pang Yuanzheng felt a bit awkward; with Qin Shaoshao not taking the main seat, who would dare to?

At this moment, Ning Ye spoke: "How about President Lin, you take it?"

Many nodded in agreement.

Qin Shaoshao only listened to Lin Chen, and Lin Chen’s power was now substantial, with terrifying potential.

"Don’t put me on that pedestal," Lin Chen said: "Jiuxing City must unite to develop, so we should not differentiate high or low; this setup is fine."

Everyone naturally understood the meaning behind Lin Chen’s words.

Once everyone was seated, Lee Gao was the first to speak: "We’ve temporarily suppressed the truth about the ruins, but it’s only a matter of time before it leaks."

"Have we found the entrance?" Ning Ye asked.

"Not yet." Lee Gao said with a grim look.

"Didn’t the auction house have a map?" Ning Ye asked.

"The auction house was reduced to ruins amidst the chaos, and the map was buried underground. We’re currently excavating," Pang Yuanzheng said.

Upon hearing this, Ning Ye sighed, saying: "This must be hurried. If other forces arrive, we won’t even have a morsel to savor."

The others nodded in agreement.

They were anxious too, but there was simply no solution.

After the meeting, Lin Chen went with Ning Ye to the area where the ruins were discovered.

Discovery was not far from where Lin Chen resided, though still several kilometers away.

"I thought my never-seen parents left me some unimaginable treasure..."

Thinking this, Lin Chen smiled wryly, realizing he was simply fantasizing, having no extraordinary background.

The breach in the ruins was a space barrier, very solid.

That’s how they determined this should be the legendary Immortal Beast Divine Fox ruins.

"Could it be the legendary nine-tailed celestial fox?"

After observation, Ning Ye said to Lin Chen: "Jiuxing City has birthed many super divine foxes, the most famous being one named Taihua."

"Taihua?!"

Lin Chen was taken aback, having never heard the name.

"It was one of the super immortal beasts of the Late Taichu era, once battling three immortal beasts alone," Ning Ye explained: "It’s said its strongest ability was its flame."

"World-Purifying True Flame?"

"No, its flame is somewhat different; some call it Taiyi True Fire," Ning Ye said: "The ’Tai’ in its name comes from this fire."

"Taiyi True Fire?" Lin Chen was puzzled, never having seen such a name in books.

"This fire is said to be divine between heaven and earth, not belonging to any awakened type," Ning Ye explained: "Hence, there are no records later."

Lin Chen nodded.

"You’ve traveled long and far recently, take some rest first," Ning Ye said: "I’ve already arranged for you."

"Since I’m here, I want to check home," Lin Chen said: "Just wonder if it’s still there." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Haha."

Ning Ye laughed, then signaled Lin Chen to go first, saying he’ll inform him of news coming.

....

After bidding farewell to Ning Ye, Lin Chen headed home, unexpectedly finding a surprise.

"Xiaobai, come out quickly."

Summoning Xiaobai and the others, upon their appearance, their pupils brightened.

In front of them appeared Lin Chen’s once broken and shabby home.

It unexpectedly survived, despite the current state covered with weeds and damages.

But Lin Chen, Xiaobai, and Little Fox were exceedingly joyful; for them, this was the place where dreams began.

Big White Bear had stayed here too, but it’s short-lived, not as sentimental as them.

As for Little Blue Fish, it had a bewildered look, wondering if people could live here?

"Time to work." Lin Chen clapped.

Immediately, three spirit beasts started pulling weeds and chopping wood. Little Blue Fish intended to slack off but was caught by Lin Chen.

"You can skip other chores, but not building a home..." Lin Chen assigned it transport duties.

Little Blue Fish was obedient, typically lazy but would listen to Lin Chen, Xiaobai, and the others.

They seldom commanded it in daily life.

This labor lasted a day; by nightfall, Lin Chen’s broken home glowed anew.

"Just make do for a night." Lin Chen said.

"Moo!"

Xiaobai and Little Fox were thrilled.

No matter how rundown, it’s their home.

Sleeping soundly, Lin Chen was awoken by Xiaobai the next day, finding out Ning Ye had arrived.

"The map has been found."

Ning Ye said with a smile: "Good news, we’re fortunate; the map was found without damages."

"Bad news?" Lin Chen heard, knowing there was more.

"The bad news is...." Ning Ye’s smile froze: "The map is fragmented."
