Celestial Beast Taming

Chapter 279: Chapter 172: The Extraordinary Tier Ten Thousand Corrosive Poison Mother

Tao Niannian had never left Longya City for as long as she could remember.

Tao En looked at the clouds below and the green mountains in the distance, a thousand thoughts running through his mind.

’Longya City, the place I’ve lived in for most of my life, has ultimately let me down!’

’But I’m also about to start a brand new life.’

Tao En’s passion was in concocting potions. Every successfully concocted potion gave Tao En a thrill that was hard to put into words.

Zhong Yi had promised to arrange for Tao Niannian to attend Starlight Academy.

’I can just stay by Zhong Yi’s side, focus on concocting potions, and research potion formulas!’

Ever since becoming a Creator, Tao En had only known of Six-finger Creators and had never heard of any higher level above that.

Even though he wasn’t a true Six-finger Creator yet, Tao En already had his heart set on challenging and exploring the level beyond Six-finger Creators.

Guo Xing was still in a bit of a daze, feeling as if he were in a dream.

Guo Xing had originally feared that he would face much resistance if he tried to leave Longya City.

But he never expected that once Lord Star Emperor arrived, he could smoothly change the Heroic City he was loyal to, just as he wished.

The Celestial Destiny Seekers of Longya City, including Red Dragon, showed not the slightest hint of opposition.

Only Jiao Donghai had come to see him, urging him not to leave.

Jiao Donghai’s mind was completely occupied by Ju Jiasu. If Ju Jiasu were a good person, it would be one thing.

But unfortunately...

Guo Xing sighed inwardly. ’That old pal Jiao Donghai, who I got along pretty well with, will just have to fend for himself from now on!’

Guo Xing had thought Wen Tao’s promise to make him the vice principal of Starlight Academy was just an offhand remark.

But after the Star Emperor arrived, he had actually approved Wen Tao’s promise.

’Once I get to Starlight City and familiarize myself with its Celestial Destiny Seekers, I can take up my post at Starlight Academy.’

Guo Xing was extremely curious about the SSS Level potential Healing Element Celestial Destiny Seeker and the SS Level potential Combat-type Celestial Destiny Seeker in Starlight City.

After returning to Starlight City, Zhong Yi went straight back to his residence.

Before coming back, Zhong Yi had already sent a message in the group chat.

Everyone had taken care of their own affairs in advance and was waiting for Zhong Yi at home.

Knowing that Zhong Yi was bringing back the new members, Tao En and Tao Niannian, Zhao Kai and Wu Qing were currently filled with a sense of reverence, as if on a pilgrimage.

Zhao Kai never imagined that after he had mentioned Tao En, Zhong Yi would actually be able to heal Tao En’s injuries and recruit the Five-finger Peak Creator into his fold.

’I’ve been stuck at the peak of Four-finger Creator for many years.’

With Tao En around, Zhao Kai felt that it wouldn’t be long before he had a chance to break through under Tao En’s guidance.

Tao Niannian was a bit older than Zhong Ling, Sun Ya, and He Guoguo.

But that didn’t stop the four of them from having fun together.

After a brief period of getting to know each other, the four had already started playing Demon auto-chess.

Zhong Chenghuai reported to Zhong Yi on the recent events in Starlight City.

Then he and Xu Anjun went off to order furniture together.

The furniture in Zhong Yi’s main residence was all in place, but the furniture for the halls in the front had not yet been fully procured.

Creator was a type of life profession. Besides Creators, there were also other life professions closely related to the necessities of life, such as Spiritual Artisans and Weavers.

Unlike Creators, whose levels were divided by ”fingers,” the levels of Spiritual Artisans and Weavers were not.

However, like Creators, they had six levels, from one to six.

A set of custom furniture made by a Fourth Level Spiritual Artisan according to a client’s request could be worth six figures.

Furniture crafted by a Fifth Level Spiritual Artisan could even sell for seven figures.

As for furniture sold by a Sixth Level Spiritual Artisan, it couldn’t be bought with just money.

The examinations for Spiritual Artisans were extremely strict. Currently, the number of publicly known Sixth Level Spiritual Artisans in the Xin Xia Federation did not exceed one hundred.

It sounded like the price of furniture made by Fourth Level and Fifth Level Spiritual Artisans was comparable to potions concocted by Creators of the same level.

However, the time it took for a Spiritual Artisan to craft furniture was much longer than the time it took for a Creator to concoct a bottle of potion.

Furthermore, unless it was custom-made, the materials for finished furniture were usually provided by the Spiritual Artisans themselves.

But even so, High Tier Spiritual Artisans were still among the wealthiest people in the world.

This time, Xu Anjun introduced a very experienced Sixth Level Spiritual Artisan to Zhong Chenghuai.

Zhong Chenghuai was the Deputy for Zhong Yi, in his role as a Healing-type Celestial Destiny Seeker.

Even a Sixth Level Spiritual Artisan would be very willing to build a good relationship with Zhong Chenghuai, the Deputy of a Healing-type Celestial Destiny Seeker.

During the time Zhong Yi was away, Zhong Chenghuai had clearly become a rising star in the eyes of Starlight City’s major old-guard and top-tier factions.

Zhao Kai and Wu Qing took the initiative to help Tao En set up his cultivation room, taking the opportunity to ask for his advice on problems that had long puzzled them.

Seeing that Zhao Kai and Wu Qing were both Creators under Zhong Yi, Tao En guided them very generously.

Even though Tao En had not yet recovered to his true status as a Five-finger Peak Creator, the theoretical knowledge he explained was enough to give Zhao Kai and Wu Qing a sense of profound clarity.

Both of them benefited greatly from Tao En’s tutelage.

To exchange for more Flowing Soul Soil, Qin Ruyue was still out there, diligently hunting Mythical Tier Bizarre.

This made the Bizarre in the various gathering spots outside Starlight City all fear for their own safety.

These Mythical Tier Bizarre were local tyrants in the gathering spots outside the city, capturing Guardian Beast Masters who possessed Lifebound Guardian Beasts and treating them as prey.

Now, they were finally getting a taste of what it was like to be the prey.

Meanwhile, Shen Xuan knocked on Zhong Yi’s door after dinner.

Seeing Zhong Yi teasing Lan Po, Shen Xuan suddenly thought that being a cat seemed pretty good.

The moment this thought occurred to him, Shen Xuan quickly shook his head.

Then, his voice trembling with excitement, he said to Zhong Yi,

”Young Master, my Order Beast, the Ten Thousand Corrosive Poison Mother, has successfully increased its Quality and has also smoothly advanced to the Extraordinary Tier.”

”Sister Weiwei gave me a type of Guardian Beast called the Blue Ring Curse Chapter. I mentioned it to you before on Q-mail, Young Master.”

”I successfully used the three Blue Ring Curse Chapters Sister Weiwei gave me to raise the Ten Thousand Corrosive Poison Mother’s Quality to Silver Quality after it reached the Extraordinary Tier.”

”My Ten Thousand Corrosive Poison Mother is much stronger than before now!”

After speaking, Shen Xuan summoned his Ten Thousand Corrosive Poison Mother, which had increased in both Tier and Quality, as if he were presenting a treasure.

Zhong Yi finally noticed that the appearance of the Ten Thousand Corrosive Poison Mother had changed drastically.

Although the Ten Thousand Corrosive Poison Mother’s body size was still the same, six curled, richly colored, deep purple tentacles with hooked barbs on their tips had now materialized around its body.

Zhong Yi immediately used All Things Exploration to inspect the Ten Thousand Corrosive Poison Mother’s data.

[Guardian Beast Name]: Ten Thousand Corrosive Poison Mother

[Guardian Beast Species]: Poison Mother Species / Poison Mother Species

[Guardian Beast Level]: Extraordinary Level (10/10)

[Guardian Beast Type]: Rule Element

[Guardian Beast Quality]: Silver Quality

Skills:

[Poison Chain Conduction]: Whenever a target loses its Life due to poison contamination, the poison weaves into a Poison Chain that is transmitted into the bodies of other targets within range, contaminating them. With each transmission, the poison’s effect is enhanced from its original base.

[Strong Wrist Poison Sting]: Attacks the target with a powerful stinger-wrist grown from its own body. The stinger-wrist can consume venom to cause a violent poison reaction, breaking through the target’s defense. While attacking, it can also inflict the Poisoned State on the target.

Exclusive Traits:

[Ten Thousand Transformations of Poison Rhythm]: Forms a Poison Pill within its body. It can consume the Poison Pill to rapidly convert it into venom. When absorbing other types of toxins, the Poison Pill will quickly convert the absorbed toxins into its own inherent poison.

[Calamity Poison Entanglement]: If a target is hit by Poison Chain Conduction five or more times, it will be afflicted with the Curse of Calamity Poison. For each additional stack of the Poison Chain on a cursed target, a negative effect will be triggered. A target under the effect of Calamity Poison must first remove the curse before it can clear away the contaminating poison.

Rule Authority:

[Erosion of All Things]: After the poison contaminates a target, it will erode everything about the target. When encountering forces of an equivalent level, it can also cause the Dissolution of the target’s Energy.
