The Master of Beasts-Chapter 538 - 127
Continuously flipping the Spiritual Beast on the Heart of All Things, Lan Zetian’s face showed some impatience.
After a full quarter of an hour, Lan Zetian said irritably: "Can’t these stewards of the Spiritual Beast Garden pay more attention? Do they really think they’re just raising Spirit Food beasts?"
Back then, to satisfy the Spirit Hall’s demand for medicinal diet spiritual materials, the Five Elements Sect specially opened the Spiritual Beast Garden and the Spiritual Vegetable Garden. But over the years, the Spiritual Beast Garden has expanded several times, increased many resources, and begun to shoulder the task of cultivating various other spiritual beasts.
However, the effect is not significant. Most stewards really think they’re just pig farmers, fattening up the spiritual beasts and then sending them off for slaughter.
"Ding dong."
"A new spiritual beast?" Lan Zetian looked at the prompt on the Heart of All Things in surprise.
"Let me see what kind of spiritual beast has been cultivated this time. Hopefully, it’s not another uniquely flavored spirit beast, or I will definitely cut your resources!" Lan Zetian sneered as he opened the information.
"Mercury Seal, potential between True Immortal and Heavenly Immortal, specializes in defense, talent: can ingest large quantities of Spiritual Liquid for growth and can convert a certain amount of high-purity Water Element Spirit Crystal."
"Researchers, Zone Three Garden, Great Steward Chen Jiuge, assistant, Shuibing."
"Oh!" Lan Zetian exclaimed in surprise.
Lan Zetian knew the capabilities of the Heart of All Things, and even a Golden Immortal would find it difficult to cheat in front of it. The Great Steward, at most with Heavenly Immortal cultivation, couldn’t deceive the Heart of All Things.
"Interesting. If this Water Element Seal truly has this function, Zone Three Garden’s resources might be tilted a bit."
Each zone of the Spiritual Beast Garden must strive for its resources. The Sect only distributes a certain amount of basic resources. To get more, the zone’s Great Steward must rear spiritual beasts, expand their scale, and demonstrate their value to the other halls of the Sect, for additional resources.
Researching new spiritual beasts is the most effective, but the research is resource and time-consuming. Most former Great Stewards of the Spiritual Beast Garden were either gilded or in retirement, and few would cultivate new spiritual beasts, much less succeed.
The emergence of the Mercury Seal surprised many large halls, but that was about it. Except for the Water Vein faction, the other four veins weren’t particularly concerned.
Nevertheless, this event brought significant benefits to Chen Jiuge, most notably consolidating his position, directly removing the reliance on his Master’s backing for the Great Steward role.
......
"Is this for me?" Chen Jiuge stared, wide-eyed, at the large increase of materials in his warehouse, most of which were Water element Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, but the quantity was too great.
Lan Zetian smiled, stroking his white beard, and said: "Of course it’s yours. This is the allocation from our Water Hall, but we have a small request!"
Chen Jiuge replied seriously: "Please state it, Elder."
"We hope Steward Chen can cultivate more Water Element Spiritual Beasts, preferably like the Mercury Seal, which can produce resources beneficial for disciples’ cultivation!" Lan Zetian said excitedly.
As an Outer Elder, Lan Zetian was very short of resources beneficial for disciple cultivation. It’s known most Outer Disciples are Loose Cultivators or bastards of low standing within clans, plus the Sect Master had recently opened the mountain gates widely, increasing the number of Outer Disciples, which means resources are even scarcer. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
And the high-purity Water Element Spirit Crystal produced by the Mercury Seal is the best cultivation resource for Outer Disciples of the Water Vein. The key is, the Seal just needs to drink Spiritual Water to produce it!
The Five Elements Sect might lack many things, but it has abundant Spiritual Energy. Set up more Spirit Gathering Arrays, isn’t Spiritual Water then inexhaustible? With almost no consumable resources, exchanging for abundant Water Element Spirit Crystals, Lan Zetian would dream of waking up smiling!
"Uh, I understand, Elder Lan, I’ll do my best." Of course, Chen Jiuge knew what Lan Zetian meant, but he didn’t want to be too conspicuous.
"Alright, alright, then this old man won’t disturb Steward Chen. If you can research a second spiritual beast similar to the Mercury Seal, I will certainly encourage more elders to tilt resources toward Zone Three Garden." Lan Zetian said with a smile.
"Then I thank you, Elder." Chen Jiuge was somewhat tempted by this.
Every elder of the Five Elements Sect serves in a large hall, and each hall has its resource production ground. Each elder has the right to allocate the produced resources, though it’s merely a matter of how much they can allocate.
....
Not long after Lan Zetian left, a Fire Vein elder arrived at Zone Three Garden.
With a not-so-robust body emanating boundless heat, even the Yu clan members with slightly weaker cultivation couldn’t approach.
As the Clan Leader, Yu Heshan forced himself to approach, and respectfully said: "My lord, may I know your purpose here?"
Huo Lieyang looked at the Yu clan before him, frowning. Remembering what the Fire Hall elders said earlier, he forced himself to suppress his inherent disgust: "I am Huo Lieyang, an Outer Elder of the Fire Hall. I’m here to discuss important matters with Great Steward Chen."
"This..." Yu Heshan hesitated. Though the Great Steward was already benevolent to us slaves, he wasn’t someone a humble figure like myself could meet at will.
"What? Am I not worthy?" Huo Lieyang glared, and the heat around him increased sharply, even scorching Yu Heshan’s True Immortal physique.
Pure white snowflakes fell, Shuibing descended from high above with a smile and bowed: "Why get angry, Elder Huo?"
