Beast Taming: Invincible Breeder-Chapter 460 - 445: What’s on the Fishing Rod?

The director was stunned when he saw the Type II Purification Crystal. They hadn’t even fully understood the regular purification crystals yet, and now the Type II had arrived.

The director mobilized the entire institute’s personnel to test the effects of the Type II Purification Crystal. Quickly, in less than half a day, the effects were measured.

When the director saw the summarized report from various tests, he foresaw that the Type II Purification Crystal would cause a sensation within the Alliance.

And the sensation would be significant, attracting the attention of many monarch-level individuals.

In the future, the Type II Purification Crystal would become the Alliance’s hottest commodity with various kings vying for it.

The purification effect of the Type II Purification Crystal is better than that of regular purification crystals.

The Type II Purification Crystal can even eradicate the Evil God contamination affecting the Venerable King Strong Persons.

Evil God contamination is a form of spiritual contamination, and since Beast Masters cultivate Spiritual Power, it leads to a condition where the stronger the Beast Master, the more severe the Evil God contamination.

Regular purification crystals are somewhat effective against the Evil God contamination in Venerable King Strong Persons, but it’s like a drop in the bucket.

A single regular purification crystal can only purify a small portion of the Evil God contamination in Venerable King Strong Persons. Quickly, the contamination will return, akin to cleaning but then the wind blows and litter covers the area that was just cleaned.

Though regular purification crystals can thoroughly eradicate the Evil God contamination in the Venerable King, it would require a vast amount of them.

All the purification crystals Li Cunxu traded away could at most eradicate the contamination for one or two Venerable King Strong Persons.

The purification effect of regular crystals on the Venerable King Strong Person’s contamination is extremely poor, causing much-powerful purification to be wasted.

To illustrate, the contamination of the Venerable King Strong Person is like a tank, regular purification crystals are like bullets, and bullets can hardly penetrate a tank unless focused and fired continuously at one spot.

And what about the Type II Purification Crystal? It’s like a shell that can explode a tank in a few shots.

Actually, eradicating the Venerable King Strong Person’s contamination isn’t the real key. The key is that the Type II Purification Crystal is also effective on monarchs.

With the Type II Purification Crystal, monarchs contaminated by the Evil God no longer need to soak in purification pools all day and can, for a short time, get out and get some activity.

The sudden ability of monarchs to move their bodies can have a substantial effect on the front line of warfare.

It’s like a stationary army group at the base that suddenly can move over someone else’s trump card and maneuver.

Suddenly, a researcher tasked with using the Type II Purification Crystal to cleanse the Evil God contamination from Venerable King Strong Persons said, "Director, isn’t the Crystal Merchant still waiting for our test results because they don’t understand the Type II Purification Crystal’s effects?"

"We could alter the test report to make the Crystal Merchant mistakenly believe the Type II Purification Crystal isn’t as effective as expected. This way, we can obtain a large amount of Type II Purification Crystals at a minimal cost."

The director’s face changed, scolding, "Fool, do you think the Crystal Merchant hasn’t actually tested the effects of the Type II Purification Crystal? The Crystal Merchant has us test the effects, but really, it’s a subtle way of flaunting the achievements of his creations while testing our sincerity. If we hand over a falsified report, the Crystal Merchant will immediately terminate our crystal trade."

(Li Cunxu: Actually, I really haven’t tested it.)

The director increasingly found the proposal by the researcher suspicious and deceitful.

The director, capable of both literature and martial arts, summoned his pet beasts to apprehend him.

"I now suspect you to be an undercover from the Four Evil God Sects, attempting to sow discord between the Alliance and the Crystal Merchant. Surrender immediately for an investigation. Any resistance will be dealt with on the spot."

...

Completely relying on the high trade value of the Type II Purification Crystal, within five days, Li Cunxu collected all the Dragon Body Pearls needed for the Blood Lotus Flame Flood Dragon.

The Blood Lotus Flame Flood Dragon broke through to Overlord 9.

Li Cunxu was about to use the final stroke of golden luck on the Blood Lotus Flame Flood Dragon, but it refused.

The Blood Lotus Flame Flood Dragon said, "I think my understanding of the rules is fine; it’s just a matter of time, don’t waste it on me."

Li Cunxu then spent another three months gathering the Speed Pearls needed for the Flame White Horse.

Why were the Dragon Body Pearls collected in less than five days, but the Speed Pearls took three months?

The reason is that Li Cunxu mixed things up deliberately, purchasing other Overlord Body Pearls to cover up his need for the Speed Pearls.

Buying the Life Pearls, then Dragon Body Pearls, followed by Speed Pearls—wasn’t it blatantly obvious to others that the Crystal Merchant had a pet in the Life Domain, one in the Dragon Domain, and one in the Speed Domain?

Though it wasted some time, it was safe and secure; besides, Li Cunxu didn’t lose anything else.

The other Overlord Body Pearls, although useless to Li Cunxu’s pets, had retention value similar to gold, and could quietly be sold on the black market later.

Feeling the increasingly fierce presence of the Blood Lotus Flame Flood Dragon, Li Cunxu knew it was close to breaking through.

"Surfacing submarine, docking on that reef island over there."

At night, with sea breezes blowing.

On the reef island, Li Cunxu found a good spot, pulled out the fishing rod to fish.

He didn’t like fishing so much before, but after employing Jiang Lingyun, he gradually started enjoying it.

Because with Jiang Lingyun by the side, there was a benefit, which was being able to share in her bit of luck.

This guaranteed they would never leave empty-handed.

Which for an angler was the most desired outcome.

Another thing anglers wished for was to catch a big fish and show it off.

With Jiang Lingyun beside them, it was easily achievable.

Jiang Lingyun was considered the gospel for anglers.

Jiang Lingyun came beside Li Cunxu, pulling out the fishing rod to fish, actually, she didn’t like fishing. But it was too boring, and there was nothing else to do.

Jiang Lingyun didn’t like fishing because pulling the fishing rod was too frequent. With the hooks in the water for less than a minute, a fish was caught, so it was better to just use a net.

Jiang Lingyun has contracted thirteen treasure-seeking mice due to using many expansion items she found.

Jiang Lingyun’s luck incomparable, shared among thirteen treasure-seeking mice, was terrifyingly dense.

Drop a net into the water, and countless fish came rushing in like going home.

Li Cunxu watched enviously.

Li Cunxu said, "Didn’t you say last time you’d never fish again?"

Jiang Lingyun lifted the fishing rod, swayed the hook triumphantly, "This time I switched to a straight needle, I don’t believe I can still catch fish frequently."

The straight needle hook indeed worked, as until midnight, no fish bit.

An hour later, suddenly Jiang Lingyun’s fishing rod was pulled away swiftly by something in the water.

Li Cunxu curiously wondered what could pull away a straight needle fishing rod?

Such speed, surpassing even the King, for such a creature to approach, his King’s intuition hadn’t detected anything.

Li Cunxu tried using Spiritual Power to check, surprisingly, Spiritual Power detected nothing on the straight needle.

"What on earth is this? Spiritual Power can’t detect anything."
