Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 429 - 375: Holy Light Butterfly

Three days later, Ying Wenjie returned to Cyan Dragon City with Chu Chen.

The two did not rest and went straight back to the Daoist School, arriving at Long Batian’s office.

After Ying Wenjie detailed his exposure, he left.

Long Batian sized up Chu Chen and smiled, saying, "It’s only been a bit more than half a month, and you’ve made considerable progress. Take the dragon soul out."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen didn’t hesitate at all and directly took a crystal ball from the Spatial Ring.

Long Batian carefully examined the crystal ball.

A moment later, he tossed the crystal ball back to Chu Chen and said in a deep voice, "This dragon soul is indeed extremely weak, but it’s Fire Attribute, which conflicts with the cage’s attribute. Moreover, wood assists the fire, so the restraint will be even more severe."

Hearing this, Chu Chen couldn’t help but furrow his brows, realizing that he had underestimated the situation.

However, since Long Batian could see the problem, perhaps he might have a solution. Thinking of this, Chu Chen quickly asked, "Does Master have a solution?"

Long Batian pondered for a moment before he said in a deep voice, "There is indeed a solution, but it depends on your choice."

"What do you mean by that?"

There are three solutions: First, use your Eye of Insight to check if the cage has an evolutionary path towards the Fire Attribute.

"I’ve already checked that. There is an evolutionary path, but the Water Attribute and Wood Attribute would be evolved out."

The second method is to seal the dragon soul, leaving a gap for the cage to absorb slowly. However, this process could take years or even a decade, and every time the dragon soul is absorbed, it will be extremely painful. Any carelessness could lead to the Guardian Beast rebelling. This method places high demands on the Guardian Beast’s willpower.

Chu Chen frowned deeply upon hearing this. He understood the cage quite well; it was a glutton that couldn’t even refuse the temptation of delicious food, let alone rely on its willpower.

"I want to hear the third method."

Long Batian nodded and said, "The third method is both difficult and simple, depending on your luck. You need to find a Heavenly and Earthly Treasure of Earth Rank Middle Grade called Water-Fire Yuan Flower. This flower can balance Water and Fire attributes. Once the dragon consumes this flower, it can completely absorb the dragon soul and make it its own."

Hearing this, Chu Chen sighed with some helplessness. A treasure of Earth Rank Middle Grade is something one can only come across by chance. Truly, as Long Batian said, it all depends on luck.

"Don’t worry too much. First, go look in the Daoist School’s treasure vault. If they have it, I’ll help you exchange it."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen quickly thanked him and promptly began searching in the Daoist School’s treasure vault.

The best treasures in the vault were only Earth Tier, and the quantity was quite limited. Chu Chen merely glanced before withdrawing his eyes.

Seeing this, Long Batian understood the result and pointed to the distance, saying in a deep voice, "Go ask the Wu Family. If they can’t find it either, I’ll ask the other four Daoist Schools."

After bidding farewell to Long Batian, Chu Chen hurriedly informed Wu Yingxiong of what he needed.

Not long afterward, Chu Chen received some not-so-good news.

The Wu Family’s treasure vault did not have the Water-Fire Yuan Flower, but they had information about it.

An hour later, Chu Chen arrived at the Wu Family auction house.

As he approached the entrance, he found Wu Yingxiong waiting there.

"Brother Chu is here, let’s go to the third floor to discuss," Wu Yingxiong said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen naturally offered a few polite words.

"Brother Wu, you’re too kind, personally waiting for me like this. What can I say?"

After a brief chat, the two of them ascended to the third floor.

"May I ask why Brother Chu is searching for the Water-Fire Yuan Flower?"

Chu Chen did not hide the fact that he obtained a dragon soul but did not mention anything about the Dragon Pearl.

After all, Divine Treasures are too rare, and the fewer who know, the better.

"Brother Chu truly has good fortune. In just half a month, your strength has improved again. It’s quite embarrassing for the rest of us."

Chu Chen merely smiled slightly and didn’t take it to heart.

"Brother Wu, do you know where the Water-Fire Yuan Flower is?"

In response, Wu Yingxiong did not answer but instead asked in a serious tone, "Does Brother Chu know about the High School Exchange Competition?"

"Of course, I know. The High School Exchange Competition will start in two and a half months. Is the Water-Fire Yuan Flower related to the exchange competition?"

"That’s correct. The Water-Fire Yuan Flower is in Qilin City’s treasury, and the top three individual competitors and the first-place team in the High School Exchange Competition can choose any treasure from the treasury."

Hearing this, Chu Chen pondered slightly, nodding. Qilin City’s treasury is owned by the Alliance. Even with Long Batian’s influence, obtaining the Water-Fire Yuan Flower for him would require a considerable price. Moreover, Long Batian had been busy collecting materials needed for Guardian Beast evolution recently, so his family’s resources were likely exhausted.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen could only shake his head helplessly, realizing that to obtain the Water-Fire Yuan Flower, he would have to wait until after the High School Exchange Competition.

"Thank you for your help in this matter. I won’t disturb you further." Saying so, Chu Chen stood up to leave.

Seeing this, Wu Yingxiong quickly persuaded him to stay, "Brother Chu, hold on. I’ve already gathered the materials you needed before." With that, he handed over a Spatial Ring.

Without hesitation, Chu Chen accepted the Spatial Ring and inspected its contents.

The Spatial Ring contained quite a variety of items. Besides cultivation resources needed for a few Guardian Beasts, 99% of the materials for healing the Forbidden Celestial Dragon were gathered, leaving only a single Heavenly and Earthly Treasure of Earth Rank Upper Grade, the Space Crystal. Moreover, there was a Beast Taming Egg exuding a holy aura within the Spatial Ring.

Chu Chen took out the Beast Taming Egg and examined it with curiosity.

The Beast Taming Egg was only the size of a palm, with a shell of pristine white adorned with intricate patterns.

Chu Chen immediately summoned the Slaughter Atlas to check the information on the Beast Taming Egg.

Star Beast Name: Holy Light Butterfly

Life Level: Fetal Stage

Star Beast Quality: Immortal Level, Upper Grade

Star Beast Attribute: Light Element

Chu Chen’s eyes widened with excitement evident in his gaze. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

He had always lacked a Healing Element Guardian Beast, and he did not expect Wu Yingxiong to give him such a massive surprise.

Seeing Chu Chen’s expression, Wu Yingxiong seemed to think of something and smilingly complimented, "Brother Chu’s Eye of Insight is truly extraordinary."

Hearing this, Chu Chen snapped back to reality and quickly waved his hands, saying, "Brother Wu, you flatter me. I really like this Beast Taming Egg; you have put a lot of thought into it."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yingxiong showed a joyful expression, understanding the art of gift-giving. The elementary level is to give something nice and expensive, the intermediate level is to give something aligned with the recipient’s interests and hobbies, and the highest level is to give something they need.

The Beast Taming Egg given by the Wu Family was indeed a gift at the highest level.

One must admit, the Wu Family’s success in becoming the largest auction house in Cyan Dragon City was no accident.

After chatting a bit more with Wu Yingxiong, Chu Chen eventually left the auction house and headed towards Cyan Dragon Academy.
