The Master of Beasts

Chapter 1003 - 356_2

Time flies by, and today is the opening day of the Hundred Beasts Pavilion.

The long-absent Yun Yan reappeared.

"Crackle pop!"

The crisp sound of fireworks made Chen Jiuge’s thoughts a bit scattered.

"Opening a shop in Dusk City and they use fireworks?"

Things like cybernetic enhancements and Mechanical Heart can be created, so making simple fireworks is no problem.

"Yun Yan, you’re actually opening Fierce Beast Pavilion? I remember the Yun family isn’t specialized in this area!"

A handsome young man with one cybernetic eye, wearing a white suit and standing straight, came forward to Yun Yan.

"Hua Zhengyuan, you’re here!" Yun Yan was somewhat surprised.

Hua Zhengyuan came from the Hua Family, the top household in Dusk City, which specializes in cybernetic enhancements. Their most outstanding creation is the cybernetic eye, which is extremely powerful, capable of analyzing most of a cultivator’s information at first glance.

This is actually the latest Heavenly Eye series developed by the Hua Family, already capable of analyzing most cultivators’ innate divine abilities.

As one of the direct descendants of the Hua Family, Hua Zhengyuan successfully joined the Governance Department after adulthood, relying on family power. He is now a third-level Chief Administrator, with a promising future.

"As a member of the Governance Department, coming to inspect new shops is the most normal thing to do!"

"That’s true, but my paperwork is all in order. If you’re here to cause trouble, you’re at the wrong place!" Yun Yan squinted.

"Hahaha, Yun Yan, your misunderstanding of me is too big. Since you’re not welcoming, I’ll leave first. Here’s a gift!"

Apart from Hua Zhengyuan, many other distinguished young visitors came to pay a visit, but they were not related to Chen Jiuge.

As the chief Beast Master of the Hundred Beasts Pavilion, Chen Jiuge’s most important task today is to showcase the prowess of the Blood Flood Dragon to attract more buyers.

The miniature four-clawed Blood Flood Dragon roamed the air, its blood-colored scales shining under the shop lights, and its tender dragon roar gave off an incredibly cute feeling.

"As expected of Yun Yan’s Hundred Beasts Pavilion, this Blood Flood Dragon is truly adorable!"

"Hey, you, pick two for me. I want lively ones!" A delinquent girl with golden hair pointed at Chen Jiuge.

"Yes!"

"Leng She, go prepare!"

Though the person seemed satisfied and polite, Chen Jiuge said nothing. On the shop’s opening day, most visitors were Yun Yan’s friends or Yun family friends, their status beyond Chen Jiuge’s comparison.

Out of respect for Yun Yan, most people casually bought a fierce beast, and dozens of Blood Flood Dragons were sold out, leaving behind the treasure of the shop—a lone five-clawed Blood Flood Dragon resting inside an iron cage.

"Not bad; I’ll leave the Hundred Beasts Pavilion to you guys next!"

"Congyi, choose a clever shopkeeper for the Hundred Beasts Pavilion!"

"Yes, young miss!"

"Chen Jiuge, you’re now the top Tributor of the Hundred Beasts Pavilion. Although I signed the contract with you in a revenue-sharing model, at this early stage, you need to prepare more Blood Flood Dragons!"

"Today, they may have bought out of respect for me, but there’s no guarantee they won’t inspect them and decide to repurchase. Please endure for some time. If the sales are high enough, I’ll reward you!"

"I assure you, you won’t be disappointed!"

"Yes, young miss!"

What else could Chen Jiuge say? He could only agree.

After the opening of the Hundred Beasts Pavilion, Chen Jiuge showed his face and then began to dedicate himself to cultivating Blood Flood Dragons.

With increased refining attempts, his skills became more proficient, and his speed in nurturing Dark Blood Beast increased significantly, producing four Blood Flood Dragons per day.

Delivering the goods to Leng She, responsible for transportation, Chen Jiuge inquired about the business at the Hundred Beasts Pavilion.

One week has passed since the opening, and the roles of Leng She and others at the pavilion were more or less determined. As a Beast Warrior, Leng She was stronger in physical power and endurance, now responsible for transporting fierce beasts between Heavenly Light Manor and the Hundred Beasts Pavilion.

"Average, although ordinary fierce beasts sold, most were third-level ones with barely any profit. Blood Flood Dragons average one every two days."

Leng She shook his head slightly; their wages weren’t low. If the Hundred Beasts Pavilion continued this way, it might soon face closure.

"Is that so?"

"However, the new shopkeeper isn’t worried, always smiling, seeming very confident."

"Hmm, I see!"

Watching Leng She leave, Chen Jiuge felt puzzled: "Are people really going to repurchase Blood Flood Dragons? But relying on Mechanical Heart’s testing, though Blood Flood Dragons are strong, their value seems overpriced!"

"Or is there something I’ve overlooked?"

......

Hua Family

When the Hundred Beasts Pavilion opened, Hua Zhengyuan was indeed performing official duties; any shop opening in the Dusk Main City requires Governance Department inspection, verifying procedures are complete.

It happened to be Hua Zhengyuan’s day off today.

"Is this from the Hundred Beasts Pavilion?"

Hua Zhengyuan grabbed the Blood Flood Dragon, watching it roar angrily at him, struggling continuously, his face showing a hint of uncertain surprise.

"Is it genuine Flood Dragon Bloodline?"

"Young master, it’s more than just Flood Dragon Bloodline; it’s Dark Blood Dragon bloodline!" The butler shook his head slightly.

"Dark Blood Dragon bloodline!"

Hua Zhengyuan’s mouth twitched slightly, but thinking further about the fact that his Hua family isn’t involved in fierce beasts, the ones who should be worried are the Chen family!

"Interesting, has there been any movement from the Chen family? A Blood Flood Dragon with Dark Blood Dragon bloodline is highly valuable, with the Hundred Beasts Pavilion’s pricing, the Chen family’s fierce beasts will surely sell poorly!"

"Not yet, but other families are probably losing patience!"

Each family knew the results from the day they bought the Blood Flood Dragon. A week of silence was only to save face for the Chen family.

"No movement, seems Chen family hasn’t found a way to resolve this!"

"Things are getting interesting; if Yun family truly nurtures Dark Blood Dragons, the Chen family will suffer a significant loss!"

Chen family, in the entire Dusk Main City, although not the top family, still belongs to the first-tier families. Although its overall strength doesn’t match the Yun family, the gap isn’t too wide.

Chen Family Master Chen Long looked at the test report in his hand, his face twitching: "So this Blood Flood Dragon reverted from Dark Blood Beast?"

"Yes."

As the Chen family’s top Beast Master in cultivation, Wan Qian’s abilities were beyond doubt.

"Ancestral reversion breeding, Yun family really got a good deal there!"

"Can you reverse engineer the nurturing method from the Blood Flood Dragon?"

"Impossible!"

Wan Qian shook his head: "Ancestral reversion is the most unfathomable method in nurturing fierce beasts. Even among the same species, individual reversion varies, making it impossible to achieve."

"Could it be that the Yun family cracked the genes of Dark Blood Beast to mass-produce them via ancestral reversion?"

The Dusk Realm isn’t lacking in genetic research, with Beast Warriors and gene-edited cultivators as outcomes.

"It’s not realistic; genetics initially came from a small world. Fully deciphering a species’ genome is beyond Yun family’s reach."

Wan Qian hesitated: "Maybe it’s due to the Beast Master’s divine skills."

"Beast Master’s divine skills? That’s not implausible!" Chen Long nodded slightly.

"Forget it; the Yun family isn’t easy to provoke now. That old ghost from the Yun family just became one of the top ten councilors in the main city. We Chen family shouldn’t stir trouble; let’s keep it as is for now. If Beast Taming Talent nurtures them, production is surely limited, not greatly impacting us."

"That’s true, plus this Blood Flood Dragon gave me many new ideas for nurturing."

"I can’t make Dark Blood Beasts revert to Blood Flood Dragons, but using Blood Flood Dragons to breed stronger fierce beasts is no problem!"

"I’ll leave it to Master Wan!"

"Chen Family Master is too kind; it’s my duty."
