Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand-Chapter 558 - 350: Obtaining the Fire Spirit

Lin Chen’s words left Li Wang stunned.

Indeed, he had no intention of forgiving Lin Chen; whether it was the Phoenix Karmic Fire or the Taiyi True Fire, he had long imagined them as possessions within his grasp.

Now, Lin Chen’s words finally awakened him.

The Lee Family isn’t a get-out-of-jail-free card.

Although outside, Li Wang could kill Lin Chen as easily as slaughtering a chicken.

But here, in the relic suppressed by the Immortal Fox, his life could be said to be in Lin Chen’s hands.

Though Li Wang’s self-esteem was exceedingly strong, at this moment he understood that if he didn’t plead for mercy, Lin Chen would indeed strike him down.

"Spare me, I won’t target you, what’s inside stays inside..."

Li Wang said excitedly, "If you really kill me, the Lee Family won’t spare you."

"I trust the words of a dead man more than yours."

After Lin Chen finished, he held the Fire Spirit’s eyes, then signaled Xiao Hong to take action.

Xiao Hong didn’t hesitate; a cluster of World-Purifying True Flame gathered, and Li Wang said fearfully, "Lin Chen, if you kill me, the Lee Family won’t spare you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Hong’s flame fell upon him, and he immediately screamed in agony.

Within just a few seconds, Li Wang’s body turned to dust, disappearing completely from this world.

Only then did Lin Chen release the Fire Spirit’s eyes, and at that instant, Lin Chen saw the Fire Spirit’s eyes wide open, staring at him.

"Uh....."

Lin Chen was embarrassed.

Such innocent eyes.

This made Lin Chen a bit troubled; his original goal was to find a third flame for Xiao Hong.

Now, seeing this little one so charming, he felt reluctant to act.

It seemed this little being sensed Lin Chen’s thoughts, came over, and hugged Lin Chen’s leg, indicating it would follow him.

Lin Chen was puzzled as to why the Fire Spirit would reject Li Wang and choose to follow him.

"Could it be I also have a Celestial Destiny Body?" This thought flashed through Lin Chen’s mind for just an instant, followed by a bitter smile.

Now it seemed there was no other choice; the Fire Spirit had already chosen its master, couldn’t really go about refining it now.

Seeing Lin Chen’s agreement, the Fire Spirit was overjoyed and hopped onto Lin Chen’s shoulder. It was only cup-sized, with a pair of red energy wings at the back, resembling a porcelain doll.

However, Lin Chen understood the Fire Spirit had no real form; it merely liked this shape.

Lin Chen asked, "Do you have any memories concerning Immortal Fox Taihua?"

The Fire Spirit shook its head.

It told Lin Chen that since its birth, it had been alone here, but it felt it had a master before.

Lin Chen pondered and didn’t ask further.

Currently, he couldn’t store it in the Beast Taming Space, yet if it followed openly, it might trigger a siege.

So, though Lin Chen was still thinking about the Immortal Fox Energy Body, he wasn’t willing to risk letting it slip away, and thus decided to rest on-site, allowing Little Fox to cultivate well here.

After all, this place was a safety net for Little Fox’s cultivation.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen sat down, but still glanced in the direction of Li Wang’s death, pondering to himself that having a universal Beast Taming Divine Skill would be ideal.

That way, his Spirit Beast’s strength could increase twofold.

....

At this moment within the relic, numerous battles had already unfolded, and the fight for the Immortal Fox Energy Body was fierce; often when someone thought they’d obtained it, another would appear.

Yet Lin Chen seemed like an outsider, quietly beginning to cultivate.

Meanwhile, outside Jiuxing City, many awaited anxiously.

The relic was isolated, so no one knew who would be the ultimate victor.

Ning Ye and the others took this time to somewhat upgrade Jiuxing City’s safety.

Historically, the emergence of a relic easily triggered secondary disasters.

While conflict within the relic was understandable and unavoidable, after its conclusion, major forces would often engage in open and covert strife over interests.

Ning Ye’s ideas were simple: team up with the Monster Hunter Guild to control the situation.

They could fight, but not inside Jiuxing City.

After all, the infrastructure of Jiuxing City was gradually improving.

If Ning Ye’s plan succeeded, there would be another benefit: Jiuxing City’s prestige would be elevated through this event.

This would help Jiuxing City transition from a small to a mid-sized city.

"Then I’ll count on you."

Ning Ye said to Qin Shaoshao.

Qin Shaoshao nodded lightly.

However, she was more concerned about Lin Chen’s safety.

Thus, she agreed that if the relic reopened, she would appear outside of it.

Time hastened; another fifteen days passed, and Little Fox used the place to rapidly cultivate Spiritual Qi, reaching level 48 directly.

This speed made Lin Chen feel embarrassed; at this rate, he wouldn’t be far from level forty.

"Rest for two days, then continue cultivating." Lin Chen also examined Little Fox’s foundation and found likely its training with Heart-Burning Fire Control recently caused it to feel good even after rapid leveling.

So Lin Chen didn’t stop Little Fox from continuing to level up.

Little Fox was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"By the way, haven’t they settled the score yet?"

Lin Chen knew that to reopen the relic, all Immortal Fox Energy Bodies needed to be obtained for the relic to automatically open.

This made Lin Chen feel a bit eager...

If only he could snag an Immortal Fox Energy Body.

Lin Chen realized in this world, even the best talent is useless.

Ultimately, it’s the strength that speaks,

As his fame spread, it turned into a liability, constantly fearing someone coming to kill him.

...

Another seven days passed, and those waiting outside finally saw the relic open.

"It’s open, it’s open."

Some saw the relic open in that instant and wanted to rush in, but now the barrier automatically allowed exit only, not entry.

"Could the Immortal Fox Taihua really not be dead?" Someone was frightened.

Because an eighty-level master tried to break through but failed.

Then people began to come out one after another, and soon they learned what had happened inside.

The most concerned matter, naturally, was the Immortal Fox Energy Body.

Jiuxing City’s achievements were decent; a descendant of the Ning Family obtained one.

Upon hearing this news, Ning Ye was overjoyed.

Soon, more news followed about who obtained a piece.

Yet most of the winners were those with powerful forces.

At this time, someone noticed a person riding a crane in the sky and shouted in surprise:

"The Lee Family patriarch has indeed arrived."

This remark instantly lifted everyone’s gaze, and they indeed saw an elderly man with kind eyes seated atop the crane.

Ning Ye also glanced up, swallowed, while Li Gao beside him said, "Where’s Lin Chen? Why isn’t he coming out yet?"
