The Master of Beasts

Chapter 1005 - 357:

"You’ve done well!" Yun Yan’s lips curved slightly.

"Miss Yun, is it over just like that? It took seven tries to succeed, isn’t the cost too high? And what’s the deal with the Second Level Tributor?"

"The number of successful attempts doesn’t matter; those Beast Masters from the Yun Family will always come up with the method with the highest success rate!"

"Besides, can’t you see the detailed information of each Dark Blood Beast?"

"In the future, other Beast Masters will settle in Heavenly Light Manor. You only need to document the breeding details of each Dark Blood Beast, and they’ll handle the breeding. Rest assured, your benefits won’t decrease!"

"As for the Second Level Tributor..."

Yun Yan spoke meaningfully, "The tributor ranks in the Yun Family are mainly divided into three levels, with the lowest being Third Level. Even the worst Third Level Tributor has at least the cultivation level of a Seventh Level Cultivator!"

"Usually, those with outstanding abilities but insufficient cultivation can only become Guests."

"As for benefits, a Second Level Tributor receives an annual salary of a million Life Money and has the qualification to exchange various controlled resources, access to the Yun Family cultivation secret realm, and even an opportunity to practice in the Yun Family’s small world."

Chen Jiuge pondered for a moment, feeling like it wasn’t much of a big deal.

"I won’t go into the details. Your Mechanical Heart permissions have been upgraded; you can check it yourself."

........

Back in the room, Chen Jiuge let out a breath: "Finally got through it."

"Once those Beast Masters are in place, I need to take a walk outside to understand the situation of the Dusk Main City and some details about the Beast Masters."

"But cultivation is a big issue too!"

Being at the Third Level of cultivation is too low, practically the bottom tier in Dusk Main City, making going out extremely dangerous.

But soon Chen Jiuge’s worries were dispelled. To ensure Chen Jiuge’s safety, Yun Yan—no, the Yun Family actually dispatched two Third Level Tributors as guards.

"Chong Wu, Third Level Tributor, Martial Artist!"

"Gong Guang, Third Level Tributor, Divine Gun!"

Being a Martial Artist was nothing unusual, a common profession, but the Divine Gun left Chen Jiuge quite startled.

Looking at Gong Guang carrying a sniper rifle with a futuristic design, Chen Jiuge felt a sense of detachment, like a sudden motorbike appearance in what was otherwise a cultivation world where everyone traveled by flying boat.

"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you!"

"I know Martial Artist, but Divine Gun?"

Chen Jiuge hesitantly asked.

Gong Guang gave a bashful smile: "Mr. Chen, if it’s convenient, I can give you a demonstration!"

"Thank you, I don’t mean to doubt you; I’m just curious, very curious!"

Gong Guang nodded slightly: "I understand, the Divine Gun profession is quite rare, even in Dusk Main City it’s extremely uncommon."

As they surveyed the area, Gong Guang’s long gun suddenly emitted a sound barely noticeable. Under Chen Jiuge’s puzzled gaze, a black shadow fell from the sky.

"Fifth Level Fierce Beast, Wind God Eagle!"

Chen Jiuge looked in disbelief at the black shadow caught by Chong Wu.

"I excel in long-range attacks; the Divine Gun profession grants me excellent eyesight and enhances my firearms’ capabilities."

"Incredible!"

The Wind God Eagle was a flying fierce beast, usually flying at altitudes above ten thousand meters. Gong Guang had just casually shot it down, and hit right between the eyes. That ability was somewhat exaggerated!

"Your safety, Mr. Chen, will be our responsibility from now on!"

"Thank you both!"

In the following three days, Gong Guang and Chong Wu stayed close to Chen Jiuge at all times.

After recording all the details of the spiritual materials needed for the Dark Blood Beasts in the Beast Yard, Chen Jiuge expressed the desire to explore outside.

Yun Congyi naturally wouldn’t obstruct him; Chen Jiuge was a Tributor of the Yun Family, as well as the first tributor of the Hundred Beasts Pavilion, not a slave, so his freedom wouldn’t be restricted.

However, for safety, aside from Chong Wu and Gong Guang, Yun Congyi also arranged a team of Artificial Body Transformers as additional guards.

......

"It’s really lively here!"

The clean and wide streets were filled with cultivators in all sorts of attire, and the food stalls on both sides exuded an enticing aroma. The ingredients for these snacks were all fierce beasts that had reached the entry-level, with a rich content of Spiritual Energy.

"This is Ninety-nine Street, only considered medium-level. The streets with numbers closer to the front are more bustling, while the outer circle is more mixed, but this place is relatively calm," Chong Wu explained.

After three days of getting along, Chen Jiuge had a bit of understanding of Chong Wu and Gong Guang’s personalities; Chong Wu was more approachable and talkative, while Gong Guang was shy, generally appearing unapproachable but was actually just socially anxious.

"Lord Wu is right; this is the intersection of the inner and outer circles, so it appears somewhat calm. The Ten Temples Department’s power here is strong, and security is quite good!"

"The intersection of two circles leads to more cultivators being here, and there are many chambers of commerce as well."

The speaker was Lie Guang, the team leader of the Artificial Body Transformer team arranged by Yun Congyi. Apart from some essential organs, his body was completely transformed, and the layer of human skin was also bionic.

Paying such a high price, his strength was also very formidable. Although there was no wave of mana or qi-blood from his body, in actual combat, ordinary Seventh Level cultivators weren’t his match.

This was also the advantage of Artificial Body Transformers; as long as you had enough money, you could directly possess powerful strength—the only downside was the life span.

Since Artificial Body Transformers didn’t cultivate naturally, their life span was generally short, often needing to take anti-rejection medications, and regardless of cultivation level, their life span normally ranged between three to five hundred years.

Of course, this also depended on economic conditions; the wealthy could live longer, while those without money lived shorter.

"I need to buy some cultivation resources. I wonder where would be suitable?" Chen Jiuge inquired.

"Since Mr. Chen’s cultivation isn’t high, if there are no special requirements, then the local Dusk Commerce would be suitable. If you’re looking for some rare items, then you should head to the Other Shore Flower Chamber of Commerce," Chong Wu suggested.

"Dusk Commerce?" Chen Jiuge was a bit surprised that this chamber of commerce could be mentioned alongside the Other Shore Flower Chamber of Commerce?

"Dusk Commerce is jointly established by the strongest seven families in the Dusk Main City, with its influence covering the entire Yellow Springs Realm. Although it can’t compare with the Other Shore Flower Chamber of Commerce, in the low-end cultivators’ market, Dusk Commerce is not inferior, and in some respects even stronger."

"Of course, when it comes to rare items, there’s no comparison, because the entity behind the Other Shore Flower Chamber of Commerce is the top of the top!"

"I see, then let’s take a look at Dusk Commerce!" Chen Jiuge said with thoughtful consideration.

The headquarters of Dusk Commerce is also in Dusk City, but it isn’t on Ninety-nine Street; it’s on No.1 Street.

However, the geographical position of Ninety-nine Street is somewhat special; the scale of Dusk Commerce here isn’t small, which can be seen from its occupied area.

"Sir, how can I assist you?"

The one serving was a soft and gentle maid, but her eyes flickered with a red light; this was a prosthetic eye. To conveniently meet customer needs, all these maids’ eyes were prosthetic, for a quicker search of the chamber of commerce’s inventory.

"Some cultivation resources, please."

"Please introduce me to the cultivation resources needed by Beast Masters to break through from the Third Level to the Fourth Level, the best ones!" Chong Wu said somewhat nonchalantly.

As a Third Level Tributor of the Yun Family, Chong Wu was also a regular client of Dusk Commerce.

"Yes, sir, please wait a moment!"

Within just a few breaths, the maid’s eyes projected a light screen, smiling as she said, "Sir, currently the best in our chamber of commerce is the Beast King Pill."

"For a Beast Master to break through from the Third Level to the Fourth Level, what’s primarily needed is mana and spiritual power. The Beast King Pill can perfectly assist in enhancing both without leaving any side effects."

"Let’s go with that one!" Chen Jiuge wasn’t inclined to inquire about others. With his current financial status, buying cultivation resources to break through from the Third to the Fourth Level shouldn’t be difficult.

"The price for each Beast King Pill is ten thousand Life Money. Usually, breaking through from the Third Level to the Fourth Level requires thirty pills. Of course, this mainly depends on one’s talent!"

"Ten thousand Life Money per pill!"

Chen Jiuge’s mouth twitched slightly. He was wealthy, but isn’t this price a bit exaggerated?

Chong Wu whispered, "Sir, I’ve heard of the Beast King Pill. It’s usually used by wealthy individuals to accelerate breakthrough in cultivation, and this price is indeed not high. If it were in the Other Shore Flower Chamber of Commerce, the price would probably be ten to twenty percent higher."

"Wealthy people, hehe!"

Thinking again, the price of a Beast Control Ring for Fourth Level Fierce Beasts is even higher than the Beast King Pill, so it doesn’t seem much after all.

"Then the Beast King Pill it is; give me thirty of them!"

Chen Jiuge wasn’t sure about his own talent, but assuming it was normal, he wouldn’t mind if there were extras. The Beast King Pill could also be fed to fierce beasts, providing a slight enhancement to their physical bodies.
