Beast Taming: I'm Really Not a Cultivation Master

Chapter 147: Chapter 129: Graduation

Time flew by.

Before long, it was graduation day.

Li Qian had promised Fatty An he would go for graduation photos and attend the party. So, early that morning, he was waiting at the entrance of the cultivation base.

A lot had happened during this period, but none of it had a major impact on Li Qian.

First, there was Li Lanying.

She had successfully persuaded Jin Yi.

And had taken it with her.

Li Qian was happy for the Pet Beasts at the base to find good homes.

Therefore, he was more than happy to see it happen.

Perhaps because they were aware of the cultivation base’s needs, both Li Lanying and, before her, Mu Qianqian had thoughtfully given something back in addition to the transactions themselves.

Their gift in return was simple.

They sent over a batch of Koi Carp with good Potential, free of charge.

Thanks to their contributions, and his father Li Chengyang’s and mother Han Yuqing’s tireless searching, the number of Koi Carp at the base was growing by the day.

This made Li Qian quite happy.

As the number of high-Potential Koi Carp increased, the offspring they produced became more and more exceptional.

Li Qian believed that with time,

his Jiaoyang Cultivation Base would, sooner or later, become the largest and most powerful Koi Carp, Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragon, and Frostfire Salamander cultivation base in the entire Dongxia Federation—or even the entire Ancestral Star.

Besides the deal with Li Lanying, a few other things had also happened at the cultivation base during this period.

Ever since Jin Yi and Demon Heaven had evolved, another batch of Koi Carp from the base had also completed their evolution.

Zhou Weiping’s Da Zhuang was among this batch of Koi Carp.

Since it was evolving into a Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragon, the evolution proceeded smoothly and without any mishaps.

It was completed successfully.

Something else happened during this process—a small interlude that was somewhat unexpected for Li Qian.

Li Qian had assumed that after witnessing the terrifying power of the Frostfire Salamander, the Lingshui City Public Security Bureau would switch their partnership focus to the Frostfire Salamander.

But in reality, just like Li Lanying, they still chose the Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragon.

”The Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragon is amphibious and capable of flight, allowing it to adapt to all sorts of combat environments. For the Public Security Bureau’s Security Officers, it’s a better fit than the Frostfire Salamander.”

Li Qian listened to their explanation.

He nodded in understanding.

After what happened with Li Lanying and the Lingshui City Public Security Bureau, Li Qian felt compelled to re-evaluate the Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragon.

After taking another look,

Li Qian found that it was just as Zhou Weiping and the others had said.

The Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragon truly didn’t have any obvious weaknesses.

It could be considered an all-rounder among Pet Beasts.

Plus, its Potential was high.

It was only logical that it would become the top choice for Security Officers.

Besides the Koi Carp, another rather important member of the family had also evolved.

The Land Bear.

That’s right—his father, Li Chengyang’s, Land Bear had evolved.

It evolved into the Gold and Earth dual-element Titan Giant Bear.

Coupled with his Clay Doll, which could also reach Dominator Level Potential after evolution,

his father, Li Chengyang, had undergone a massive upgrade.

Both his Potential and his power had increased drastically.

Finally, there was the Pet Beast research mission.

On this front, Li Qian could only smile wryly.

He had made no progress on the evolution method from Gray Bean Dove to Sky Escape Eagle.

His progress was still stuck at ninety-one percent.

Although he had expected this, it still left him feeling a bit helpless.

All in all, the past few weeks had been relatively peaceful, with no unexpected incidents.

The Mechanical Desecration Association had gone completely silent.

Perhaps they knew that after the last attack, they had completely lost any chance of succeeding in Lingshui City.

From now until the Unstable Rift passed its active period, the three great families and the Federation would surely be guarding the area with heavy forces.

Rushing in now would be like a lamb walking into a tiger’s den.

Clearly, they weren’t stupid.

They weren’t about to charge headfirst into danger knowing the risks.

Finally, there was his own power.

Li Qian had tested it.

His Spiritual Power had reached Tier Three Elite.

He estimated it wouldn’t be long before he could advance to the Elite Fourth Rank.

During this time, Qizai and Xiaoliu hadn’t slacked on their training either.

Qizai had already reached the Elite Sixth Rank, and Xiaoliu was following close behind, likely to reach it soon as well.

Their combined strength was now comparable to that of an ordinary Commander Level Pet Beast.

Li Qian stood at the entrance of the cultivation base, recalling the events of the past few weeks. A moment later, the sound of a car engine grew louder as it approached.

A flashy red sports car came into view, speeding toward him.

”Hop in.” The red sports car stopped precisely beside Li Qian. Fatty An whistled, calling out to him.

Li Qian pursed his lips.

After Li Qian got into the passenger seat, Fatty An floored the accelerator, and the red sports car shot forward.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Li Qian’s lip twitched. ”Fatty An, take it easy. You have a ten-billion-dollar fortune to inherit. Don’t get yourself killed playing around.”

”Don’t worry. You know my skills, bro. I’m a bona fide driving god.”

Li Qian rolled his eyes at that.

’Your ability to bullshit is what’s really god-level.’

”By the way, have you picked a university yet?” Li Qian asked from inside the car.

Fatty An replied nonchalantly, ”I can’t get into one of the Eight Greats anyway, bro. As far as I’m concerned, it makes no difference which of the other Beast Taming Universities I go to.”

Li Qian thought for a moment before suggesting, ”I’d recommend Yunlan Beast Taming University.”

Seeing Fatty An’s questioning look, Li Qian explained, ”First, Yunlan City isn’t bad. It’s a Tier One City, second only to Special Level Cities like Nandu City.”

”Second, Yunlan City is right next to Lingshui City, so it’s close to home.”

”Third, Captain Liu Changfeng of the Yunlan City Public Security Bureau’s special operations team is a friend of ours. He can look out for you if anything comes up.”

There was one more thing Li Qian didn’t mention.

Yunlan City was the base of the Mu Family from the Mysterious Forest Secret Realm.

Given his relationship with Mu Qianqian,

asking her to look out for Fatty An shouldn’t be a problem.

”Now that you put it that way, Yunlan Beast Taming University does sound like a good choice.”

Fatty An said, a bit reluctantly, ”It’s just... I finally get to go to a Beast Taming University. To have it be so close to home feels like I’m missing out!”

Li Qian: ”...”

’What kind of logic is that?’

’What’s wrong with being close to home?’

’If it were me, I never would have considered going somewhere as remote as the Western Province if Shazhou Beast Taming University hadn’t offered me so much.’

The car sped on, and before long, they arrived at Lingshui City Beast Taming High School.

He hadn’t been back in a while, and the moment he stepped through the school gates, Li Qian felt a bit dazed.

’After today, I’ll officially be a graduate.’

’Even though that date has long been meaningless to me, being back at school feels different.’

The graduation season atmosphere washed over him, making him feel a little sentimental.

’Come to think of it, it’s been over three months since I transmigrated to this world.’
