Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand-Chapter 589 - 381: The Divine Race and the Hundred-Year Pact
Lin Chen naturally wouldn’t treat anomalous fire like common vegetables.
There are actually many flames; like the Flame Fox, it itself is a kind of flame, but it can’t be termed an anomalous fire.
True anomalous fire has extremely high intensity properties and very high energy purity.
The anomalous fire of ordinary Spirit Beasts cannot be called anomalous fire; only outstanding and exceptional flames can be so named.
Thus, when the Great Elder learned that Xiaohuo only gains wisdom by consuming anomalous fire, he was quite surprised.
"If you could find something from the Phoenix clan, it’d be much simpler." The Great Elder said.
"You mean the Demon Race?" Lin Chen asked.
"No, the Human Race actually also has a Phoenix clan." The Great Elder explained.
Lin Chen was puzzled.
"This trip to Thunder City, you should also know, this world indeed has Immortal Beasts, but due to special reasons, they may not be able to appear in the world." The Great Elder said: "What I’m telling you this time is not about Immortal Beasts, but about the centennial agreement between the Human Race and the hidden families."
"Centennial agreement?"
"In the early days of the rise of Beast Taming, precisely the Celestial Beast Era, some people realized that using surnames and blood as inheritance to ensure the eternal transmission of resources was not sustainable." The Great Elder quickly said: "Therefore, under the manipulation of some people, a new type of family began to appear, which is the Spirit Beast family."
"Like the Phoenix, the Dragon Race, etc., are super families with potential for Immortal Beasts, they exist."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen was extremely surprised.
Previously, he had thought about why such families didn’t exist.
"They sign agreements with the Human Race every century, they won’t interfere with worldly matters, or else the strength of the Celestial Capital wouldn’t be enough to contend with them." The Great Elder sighed: "In return, every century we must pay them a large amount of resources, including Spirit Eggs, money, evolution materials, etc..."
"This time what Celestial Capital did was excessive, but as you saw, whether Thunder City, the Western Regions, or the Spirit Academy, none wanted to ’rebel’, the real reason is precisely this."
"These families only have one-sided contact with the Celestial Capital, they don’t accept anyone else."
Lin Chen was shocked, it was the first time he knew of this, he asked puzzledly: "Why didn’t they appear during the Demon Beast chaos?"
"Because the life and death of the human world really has nothing to do with them." The Great Elder said: "They no longer call themselves the Human Race, but refer to themselves as the Divine Race."
"Divine Race!"
Lin Chen exhaled, what arrogance.
"Every century, the Divine Race opens up, but the Divine Race doesn’t value so-called potential, they only recruit same-race Spirit Beasts and people at the Divine Beast level." The Great Elder continued: "People who enter there can only become Outer Disciples, but those invited are still ecstatic to go."
"Because everyone knows that once they can enter the Divine Race, their status will have a huge leap."
Lin Chen nodded.
The person who came up with this idea was indeed a genius.
The relationship bound by blood has flaws, because no one can guarantee that the next generation is still outstanding.
But a family born out of this selection system can endure for a long time.
"In two years, the next centennial agreement will occur, the Divine Race will reappear in the Celestial Capital, but the general public doesn’t know of their existence, only those who receive secret invitations are qualified to know of them." The Great Elder continued: "The reason for telling you this is because of the Phoenix Karmic Fire on Xiaohong."
Lin Chen was startled, saying: "I thought you were saying that there’s a Divine Fox clan within the Divine Race."
"There’s no Divine Fox clan, only some large races have it, such as the Phoenix, Dragon Race, Qilin, etc." The Great Elder said: "These Divine Races are always accustomed to arrogance and domineering; before there was a person just like you, who wasn’t a Phoenix Spirit Beast but learned the Phoenix Karmic Fire, in the end, people from the Phoenix clan came to him and directly crippled his Spirit Beast."
Lin Chen’s pupils widened, saying: "That’s too tyrannical."
"Exactly." The Great Elder said: "The way the Divine Race does things is indeed tyrannical, so I want you to keep a low profile during this period as much as possible."
"Otherwise, in two years, if someone with ill-intentions targets you, I’m afraid even the Spirit Academy and Monster Hunter Guild won’t be able to protect you."
"I understand." Lin Chen nodded.
"As for the matter of anomalous fire, I’ll help you look for it."
"Thank you, Great Elder." Lin Chen cupped his hands.
The Great Elder smiled and said: "This time Xu Pingzhi even opened up the thunder fire area for you, indicating Thunder City highly appreciates you, you can also establish connections with them, this Beast Taming World isn’t all about fighting, unless you are invincible in the world, this I don’t need to teach you, you should understand."
Lin Chen nodded, saying: "City Lord Xu is indeed someone to connect with."
"You don’t have to worry too much either." The Great Elder said: "The Divine Race, although arrogant, also have their own rules."
......
When Lin Chen returned to Liu Gu’s Mentor Hall, it was already night.
Liu Gu knew Lin Chen had returned and prepared a table of good dishes.
Lin Chen sat down and slowly recounted the Thunder City trip to Liu Gu.
After listening, Liu Gu said: "Fortunately, you read more books and play it safe, others would probably be completely wiped out."
Lin Chen did not deny it.
However, he did not claim credit either, after all, this credit should go to science.
The mentor and disciple chatted late into the night, then Lin Chen mentioned the matter of the Spirit Beast.
Liu Gu, however, said: "I have already prepared Xiao Hong’s evolution formula for you, but I didn’t expect you to have such a big breakthrough this time."
"Tomorrow, bring your Spirit Beast, I’ll examine it."
Lin Chen nodded.
Then Liu Gu examined the Fire Spirit, and after Lin Chen explained the situation, Liu Gu said: "Your Fire Spirit is transformed by the Taiyi True Fire."
"When it used to follow Taihua, it must have been very terrifying."
"But later it slowly transformed, and in the process of gaining wisdom, its abilities continued to degenerate."
"Now that it has gained wisdom successfully, it requires more energy."
Lin Chen also thought so.
The next day, when Lin Chen woke up, Xiaobai and the others had already run to Liu Gu’s place.
As for Liu Gu, they were more than familiar.
When Lin Chen arrived, Liu Gu was already checking the Big White Bear’s condition.
Law Evolution, each evolution is a gamble on life.
Therefore, Liu Gu had to confirm whether the Big White Bear’s body was in its strongest state.
"Train for another two days." Liu Gu was quite satisfied with the Big White Bear’s physical condition and asked Lin Chen: "Have you brought back all the medicines from the pharmacy?"
Lin Chen nodded, then handed the Bear Bone Bamboo to Liu Gu. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Taking it, Liu Gu exclaimed: "This thing is extremely hard to find, it seems Thunder City has gone all out this time."
After speaking, Liu Gu added:
"With this item as protection, Xiao Hei’s evolution should not be a problem, perhaps there will be a surprise."
