Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand-Chapter 552 - 344: Fate with Immortal Beasts

The sudden appearance of the floating island instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the city, and the news quickly spread.

Ning Ye and others flew directly into the air, intending to enter from above, but they quickly discovered that although the island could be seen, they couldn’t actually get inside.

"It seems that there’s only one way in, and that’s through the water below," Lee Gao said to Ning Ye, with a tone of reluctance.

It appeared that this opportunity had nothing to do with them.

The question now was whether to make this news public.

Ning Ye quickly made a decision and said, "Let’s make it public."

Everyone was taken aback.

At that moment, most of those who entered first were the disciples of these forces. If they made it public, many people in the city would go in.

But Ning Ye remarked, "This treasure originally belongs to Jiuxing City, and it won’t be long before it’s discovered anyway, so why not let all the city’s citizens enjoy the benefits this time?"

"Besides, we can also stimulate the city’s economy by doing so."

"Divine Fox?" Lee Gao sharply perceived Ning Ye’s intention.

Jiuxing City needed a lot of funding for rebuilding, and the ticket to the Immortal Beast relics was a Divine Fox.

So once the news spread, the price of Divine Foxes would undoubtedly soar.

"Let’s do it this way," Ning Ye said, "We’ll give Lin Chen and the others three days, then we’ll announce the news."

"Everyone, we control most of the Divine Fox cubs, so we need to set a unified price."

"How much does Patriarch Ning want to raise the price?" someone asked.

"Double," he replied.

"Only double?" someone immediately questioned.

The saying goes, ’Men die for wealth, birds die for food,’ an Immortal Beast relic would undoubtedly lead to a frenzy, especially among major forces that won’t hesitate to spend money to buy Divine Foxes.

A mere doubling in price was actually nothing.

"I have my reasons," Ning Ye explained, "For Jiuxing City’s future development, we can’t tarnish our reputation. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. The most fundamental focus of development is the ordinary citizens."

Seeing that people were still hesitant, Ning Ye said, "Money can’t be made forever. Don’t you all understand?"

Only then did a few people realize, having just passed through the demon beast chaos, they had narrowly escaped death at the hands of the King of Hell and should now broaden their ambitions.

Indeed.

If they raised the price four or five times, some would still pay, but it would tarnish Jiuxing City’s reputation.

Seeing everyone agree, Ning Ye turned to look at the floating island behind them and said, "I hope Lin Chen and the others can find the opportunity first."

"I’m just afraid they’ll be in danger," said a family elder.

He was worried because his grandson had also gone in.

Ning Ye, however, said, "Although it’s uncertain if this Divine Fox is the Immortal Fox Taihua, it seems to have no malicious intent."

"What do you mean, Patriarch Ning?"

"It selected people who have Divine Foxes, so it probably isn’t looking to harm them but to give them opportunities," Ning Ye explained.

Hearing this, everyone suddenly understood, and they became even more envious.

Such an immortal opportunity, just because they didn’t have a Divine Fox, they couldn’t enter; it was enough to keep them up at night thinking about it.

"That’s how it is. There’s no need to force it," Ning Ye said, "Those who are destined will definitely obtain it."

....

Lin Chen didn’t know what was happening outside; he was now walking alone among the mountains, exploring the terrain and environment here.

Along the way, he encountered many diverse people, but both sides were rather discreet and only exchanged some information before parting ways.

There didn’t seem to be much danger here, so Lin Chen also regarded it as an immortal opportunity.

"...Xiao Hong, do you really not feel anything?"

Lin Chen looked at the Little Fox, having already asked this question more than once.

Based on information gathered from several people, Lin Chen confirmed that only Beastmasters with a Divine Fox could enter here.

Thus, there must be opportunities left here for the Divine Fox, and it just depended on which Beastmaster was lucky enough.

"If only the Calamity-Devouring Beast were here...."

Lin Chen often missed the Calamity-Devouring Beast, and at this time thought of it even more, causing him to feel a wave of sadness.

The Calamity-Devouring Beast’s personality was somewhat similar to Xiaobai’s. It and Bai Ling had never done anything wrong in their lives, yet to quell this demon beast turmoil, it required such a heavy price.

"Gugu!"

The Little Fox shook its head like a rattle, telling Lin Chen that it only felt that cultivation was much faster here, but not much else.

"How much faster are we talking?" Lin Chen asked.

The Little Fox didn’t answer on the spot but soon gave an answer.

That night, the Little Fox suddenly broke through to Level 47.

Lin Chen was astonished; the Little Fox had just leveled up not long ago and had already broken through again.

Judging from this speed, it was potentially seven to eight times faster than outside.

Staying here for three or four months might allow it to reach Xiaobai’s level.

Though Lin Chen was pleased, he still reminded the Little Fox to take it easy, as once the foundation was damaged, it would be hard to repair.

"Gugu!"

The Little Fox nodded.

Now it had mastered the complete version of Heart-Burning Fire Control, greatly increasing its strength, and although it pursued a higher level, it understood the importance of a solid foundation even more.

Lin Chen initially thought the Little Fox might feel something unusual, but it seemed not, and he wasn’t disappointed, leading the Little Fox and the others towards the central area.

But when he summoned Little Blue Fish, he immediately discovered something terrifying.

Little Blue Fish couldn’t fly.

"An air ban?" Lin Chen wondered. Everything was fine when they entered; how come it wasn’t now?

But soon, even worse news came; Xiaobai and the others’ abilities were also being disabled.

"Do you guys feel any discomfort in your bodies?" Lin Chen asked.

The three spirit beasts, including Xiaobai, shook their heads, indicating they did not.

"Truly an Immortal Beast...."

Lin Chen was impressed.

The Immortal Beast must have perished, yet even in death, it possessed such capability, able to directly disable other spirit beasts’ powers.

Not only him, but it was likely the same for others.

So now the only spirit beast he could rely on was Xiao Hong.

"Little Fox, you are now the leader," Lin Chen chuckled.

The Little Fox laughed, excited yet feeling a bit of pressure.

Previously, it had Xiaobai in front to shield them from harm.

But now, it was its turn.

....

Meanwhile, the news of the Immortal Beast relics appearing above Jiuxing City quickly spread across the southern region and even the entire country, attracting many people.

On the first day, a major force arrived.

They were one of the major forces in the south, and upon arriving in Jiuxing City, they immediately sought out the Ning Family, intending to use force to directly control and seal off the entire Immortal Beast relic entrance.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Ning Ye replied with a smile.

"What? Does Jiuxing City want to stop me?"

The person was aggressive, trying to intimidate Ning Ye, but at that moment, a leaf flew across the sky and struck right on his forehead.

In an instant, this expert was so frightened that his soul almost left his body.
