Celestial Beast Taming

Chapter 78: Chapter 72: Dragon-Brewed Immortal Mink

His gains had already exceeded his expectations, so Fu Hongning decided against asking for Zhong Yi’s contact information for now.

Once he returned, Fu Hongning planned to review the high-end insect-type Guardian Beasts the Zhenchong Commerce Association wanted to cultivate. Then, he would go through Xu Anjun to obtain the contact information of the young man or his deputy.

Although Xu Anjun had only helped him confirm the young man’s identity today, it was still a favor.

Fu Hongning would take any opportunity to maintain a good relationship with a deputy like Xu Anjun, who had been by a Celestial Destiny Seeker’s side for over ten years.

At that moment, Zhong Yi was riding in a Guardian Beast Vehicle from the Central District, heading toward a place in the Lower City District called Yunzhuang Alley.

The driver of this Guardian Beast Vehicle, which was pulled by a Furious Flame Lion, was quite surprised that a major figure like Zhong Yi, who had just come from the Three-Pointed Star Law Hall, was heading to a humble place like Zhuanyun Lane in the Lower City District.

However, the driver didn’t dare ask any questions.

Zhong Yi sat in the Guardian Beast Vehicle, fiddling with the Zhenchong Commerce Association’s Diamond VIP Card in his hand, thinking to himself.

’Even though I’m a Celestial Destiny Seeker now, everything is just beginning.’

’I’m just too poor right now!’

’I have to find some ways to earn more Federation Coins. Otherwise, even if I move into the mansion in the Central District, I won’t have any money to furnish it.’

Soon, Zhong Yi came up with two ways to make money.

There is a type of Guardian Beast called the Dragon-Speaking Mink.

The Dragon-Speaking Mink is a peculiar Creature that doesn’t possess the bloodline of a Dragon Species Guardian Beast, yet it can produce a dragon’s cry and communicate with all Dragon Species Guardian Beasts.

A Dragon-Speaking Mink’s fur is purplish-red, and no matter how its Tier advances, each one remains only the size of a palm.

Because the Dragon-Speaking Mink could produce a dragon’s cry, many Guardian Beast Masters and Creators initially valued it highly.

But after some cultivation, they discovered that even if its Tier was raised very high, the Dragon-Speaking Mink was not skilled in combat.

It was just that as its Tier and Quality continuously improved, the texture of its fur became better and better.

This turned the Dragon-Speaking Mink’s pelt into an excellent material for making high-end clothing.

The Dragon-Speaking Mink went from being a Guardian Beast valued by Guardian Beast Masters and Creators to a prized possession for wealthy ladies.

But the Dragon-Speaking Mink wasn’t actually useless. Zhong Yi knew that as long as a Dragon-Speaking Mink consumed the Dragon Crystal of a Dragon Species Guardian Beast called the Fairy Flashing Phosphorus Flood Dragon...

...and underwent some special induced stimulation, it had a chance to awaken a Dragon Bloodline and undergo an Evolution into a special Beast Dragon Species Guardian Beast, the Dragon-Brewed Immortal Mink.

However, even after consuming the Dragon Crystal of a Fairy Flashing Phosphorus Flood Dragon, the probability of a Dragon-Speaking Mink transforming into a Dragon-Brewed Immortal Mink was still extremely low.

According to the game’s settings, a successful Evolution would occur at most once every ten attempts.

However, since Zhong Yi possessed the Flowing Soul Soil, he could use it for the induction, essentially guaranteeing a one hundred percent chance for the Dragon-Speaking Mink to undergo an Evolution into a Dragon-Brewed Immortal Mink after consuming the Fairy Flashing Phosphorus Flood Dragon’s Dragon Crystal.

This Beast Dragon Species Guardian Beast, the Dragon-Brewed Immortal Mink, also lacked any combat Ability.

However, after consuming the fruit produced by a tree called the Dragon Root Tree, the Dragon Bloodline within its body would brew the Dragon Root Fruit in its digestive tract.

The Dragon-Brewed Immortal Mink couldn’t digest the Dragon Root Fruit, so when the fruit was expelled, it would still maintain its complete shape.

At this point, the Dragon Root Fruit would have transformed from its original state as low-grade food for Dragon Species Guardian Beasts into a treasure that could induce the purification and Evolution of a Dragon Species Guardian Beast’s bloodline.

The process of the Dragon-Brewed Immortal Mink consuming and brewing the Dragon Root Fruit was a bit like the civet cats from Zhong Yi’s previous life eating coffee beans.

Except the value of the Dragon Root Fruit expelled by the Dragon-Brewed Immortal Mink was multiplied many times over, far beyond what civet coffee could compare to.

After a Dragon-Brewed Immortal Mink reached the Fantasy Tier, the Dragon Root Fruits it brewed could even enhance the bloodline of a Main Dragon Species Guardian Beast.

Among all Guardian Beasts, the innate talent of Dragon Species Guardian Beasts was enough to rank them in the top ten.

However, among the Guardian Beast Masters who could form a Contract with a Dragon Species Guardian Beast, not many truly managed to stand out.

The reason for this was mainly because Dragon Species Guardian Beasts were simply too difficult to cultivate.

Enhancing a Dragon Species Guardian Beast’s bloodline was arguably a common problem faced by all Guardian Beast Masters who had contracted one.

The Dragon Crystal of a Fairy Flashing Phosphorus Flood Dragon was also extremely rare, but if Zhong Yi used his points as a Celestial Destiny Seeker to exchange for one, he was certain he could obtain it.

Zhong Yi planned to first use his Celestial Destiny Seeker points to get a few Fairy Flashing Phosphorus Flood Dragon Dragon Crystals. He would start by cultivating a few ’cash cows’ like the Dragon-Brewed Immortal Mink to help him quickly accumulate resources.

Besides cultivating Dragon-Brewed Immortal Minks, Zhong Yi also thought of another way to make money.

Zhong Yi planned to cultivate some Wind Object Palms and Absolute Mystery Cloves, then use the coconut oil from the Wind Object Palms and the pollen from the Absolute Mystery Cloves to concoct a special solution.

This solution could perfectly merge with various Potions. After merging, not only would it not alter the Potion’s properties, but it would also allow the Potion to be preserved for a long time.

However, Creators didn’t go through the trouble of concocting this special solution from Wind Object Palm coconut oil and Absolute Mystery Clove pollen just to preserve Potions.

It was to prevent the secret formulas of their Potions from being leaked!

Many Creators would create their own unique Potion formulas by using different ratios of ingredients.

But once these secret formula Potions were sold, they could easily be reverse-engineered by high-level Creators.

If a secret formula Potion was mixed into the solution concocted from Wind Object Palm coconut oil and Absolute Mystery Clove pollen, it would be impossible for the formula to be reverse-engineered.

It was just that the coconut oil from Wind Object Palms and the pollen from Absolute Mystery Cloves were both relatively expensive materials. Generally, only secret formula Potions of the Third Level or higher were worth mixing into the solution made from the two.
