The Master of Beasts-Chapter 537 - 126:

"President, it will take about another six months," Zhu Ying shook his head slightly.

"Six months, huh!" Jiang Xueyao sat up straight and poured a cup of White Sun Snow Spirit Tea exclusive to the North.

"Xiao Ying, do you think we’ll be able to connect with the King of the North this time?" Jiang Xueyao anxiously rubbed the teacup in her hand.

Zhu Ying said bluntly, "Impossible. The cultivation and status of the King of the North are too high. Our Zi Jing Blossom of Commerce is, after all, an emerging chamber of commerce, and we are far inferior in both strength and foundation."

Jiang Xueyao knew this truth naturally, but she still felt unwilling in her heart, "Even with these Spiritual Beasts, it’s not possible?"

This batch of Spiritual Beasts was specifically customized by Chen Jiuge for Jiang Xueyao. They are all auxiliary Spiritual Beasts that can change certain environments, significantly increasing the grain yield of the North and even creating a suitable living environment with mild climates.

Zhu Ying still shook his head, "The condition for cooperation is equality, or at least the gap should not be too large, but we are too far behind. Under the King of the North, even a random War General can annihilate us completely."

"Strength?" Jiang Xueyao felt a little unwilling. She had abandoned the Qingming Ancient Country, although not voluntarily at first, but she had had opportunities to return later.

She abandoned the victory and defeat of being an Imperial Concubine, gave up on the hatred for her clan, and even abandoned her own child, all for a more powerful force, a greater strength, right?

"Gulp."

Drinking the Spiritual Tea with the aura of Immortal Brew, Jiang Xueyao’s face turned red, "Xiao Ying, since we can’t connect with the King of the North, what can we gain after spending so much time this time?"

"A large amount of Northern resources and loyal, savage Northern Cultivators," Zhu Ying said without hesitation, which was the goal set from the start.

The North is different from the Central Earth where the Five Elements Sect resides. Most of the Northern Cultivators are Body Refiners. The harsh extreme cold weather makes the Northerners extremely irritable and bloodthirsty, with blood appearing warm and beautiful to them.

And most crucially, the North employs a slave system, and Northerners are extremely loyal!

"Miss, our development has reached its peak. Without enough strength and powerful cultivators, we cannot protect the Zi Jing Blossom of Commerce. Chen Jiuge is providing more and more rare Spiritual Beasts. We must develop quickly, or else those things will be beyond our reach!"

"Hopefully that’s the case!"

As the two talked in the carriage, they were unaware that someone from the Zi family of the Five Elements Sect in Central Earth had targeted them and intended to take their lives.

Nearby the Five Elements Sect

Besides being the Deputy Pavilion Master of the No.3 Medical Food Workshop, Huang Tiantian also had another identity, which was being Zi Ao’s personal subordinate. When Zi Ao decided to make a move against Zi Jing Blossom, Huang Tiantian came to this place.

The towering mountains, stretching thousands of miles into the clouds, encircled a small valley. Dozens of cultivators with expressionless faces and uniform attire stood neatly in front of Huang Tiantian.

"Is this all there is?" Huang Tiantian frowned slightly.

An eerie elder beside Huang Tiantian said helplessly, "This is all we have. The Young Master has already transferred away a group of people, and they haven’t returned in time."

"Alright, it’s just dealing with a newly established chamber of commerce, so it should be enough," Huang Tiantian said somewhat regrettably.

The elder sneered sinisterly, "A newly established chamber of commerce at most has a few Heavenly Immortals sitting in place. My remaining ’children’ include three Heavenly Immortals, all experts in assassination, and more importantly, just taking out the chamber’s president."

"Mm, as long as you know it. According to the information I received, the president of the Zi Jing Blossom of Commerce and the Grand Steward have gone to the North." Huang Tiantian handed a piece of information to the elder.

This information was naturally provided by the force hidden behind Huang Tiantian. After all, Zi Ao is just a Heavenly Immortal, not adept at fighting techniques; he wouldn’t have become the Master of the No.3 Medical Food Workshop nor amassed his force if it weren’t for his skill in pleasing the forefather.

"The North, huh? That place is a bit far; it might take a few years." The elder frowned slightly.

"No worries, as long as the task is completed; the Young Master only cares about the result." Huang Tiantian said casually.

"Alright."

Dozens of black shadows darted out from the valley, these machines of annihilated emotions and desires left with only loyalty, extremely reliable and crazy.

Of course, there are downsides; their potential has been locked, and they can only reach as high as Heavenly Immortal, starting at the lowest One Flower Heavenly Immortal.

A True Immortal condescending to Dao Fruit, climbs the Thirty-three Layer Heaven to absorb nutrients, breaks through to Heavenly Immortal and blooms one flower, with Three Flowers as the peak, distinguishing Heavenly Immortals by the number of blooms.

These killing machines can open a flower at most, and even if they bloom a Grand Dao flower, its quality is very poor; however, the assassin’s path excels at sneak attacks and overcoming the strong with the weak, even the Three Flowers Heavenly Immortal might unintentionally fail.

.......

"Gulp gulp gulp."

Large amounts of rich Spiritual Water were mercilessly poured into the mouth of a plump Spiritual Beast by Chen Jiuge.

The Spiritual Beast, resembling a seal, lay on the ground with an expression of life weariness. Its already round belly now swelled to the size of a woman in her tenth month of pregnancy.

"It should be about done," Chen Jiuge flicked off the water droplets from his hand.

Shuibing reached out to touch the belly of the Spiritual Beast, lightly patting it, creating distinct ripples, nodded satisfactorily, "Great Steward, it’s ready!"

"That’s good, I wonder how much Water Element Spirit Crystals we’ll get this time!" Chen Jiuge said expectantly.

The value of Water Element Spirit Crystals is vastly different from that of Divine Crystals, but the thrill and excitement of this blind-box feeling are undeniable.

"Who knows, but this Mercury Seal is indeed an excellent Spiritual Beast. It doesn’t just live by drinking Spiritual Water; it also doesn’t hinder the growth of cultivation and can even produce Water Element Spirit Crystals - truly perfect!" Shuibing admired.

"Hehe," Chen Jiuge chuckled proudly.

After completing the task of handing in the Qingming Fish, Chen Jiuge began addressing the issue of endangered Spiritual Beasts in Zone Three Garden. While a small portion could be resolved, the reproductive problems of most Spiritual Beasts were unsolvable.

To this end, Chen Jiuge turned his attention to the Chaos World and the direction of controlled mutation.

First, use the Chaos World to improve the states of these Spiritual Beasts, fill in the foundation, slightly increase their life vitality, and enhance reproduction rates, followed by finding similar ordinary Spiritual Beasts to guide mutations.

The process of controlling mutations was very unstable, without any laws understood even for one endangered Spiritual Beast, but it yielded some rewards.

The Mercury Seal was among the most valuable Spiritual Beasts, and Chen Jiuge had fully understood its mutation patterns, allowing for orderly production.

One must understand, the value of a Mercury Seal is not low, very valuable to any family or sect practicing a Water Attribute cultivation technique.

Because it only needs to drink Spiritual Water to grow, naturally the effect is better with higher-level Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, yet drinking Spiritual Water allows it to produce Water Element Spirit Crystals!

Not every sect or family is resource-rich; Immortals have endless life spans; although extremely difficult to reproduce, in infinite lifespans, these Immortals’ descendants are numerous.

A high-purity Water Element Spirit Crystal far outweighs the value of a Spirit Stone, making it one of the best resources for cultivating Water Attribute cultivation techniques.

"Plop."

The weary Mercury Seal quivered its posterior, and from an unspeakable location dropped a fist-sized, exquisite blue Water Element Spirit Crystal.

"After seeing it so many times, it’s still a bit hard to get used to!"

Shuibing knew the Mercury Seals here were initially fed with Spiritual Water, containing no impurities, but emerging from that place, it just felt uneasy.

Chen Jiuge was not fussy, directly grabbing the Water Element Spirit Crystal and sensing it slightly, "Not bad, the purity has risen slightly, but that is its limit."

"Ah Bing, put it on the shelves, upload the information about the Mercury Seal to the Heart of All Things. We should earn a large sum of Contribution Points, and the garden will gain more resources and manpower."

"Okay, I’ll handle it now," Shuibing eagerly nodded.

As the Vice-President, even though she had little to do with the breeding of the Mercury Seal, she could get some Contribution Points. From her observations, the Great Steward wasn’t a miser - what she earned wouldn’t be insignificant.

"It’s just that the Great Steward also gives those Yu clan slaves Contribution Points, which is really heart-wrenching." Shuibing voiced slight dissatisfaction; they were just lowly slaves, why did the Great Steward give them valuable Contribution Points?
