Celestial Beast Taming

Chapter 299: Chapter 182: A Guardian Beast Beyond Zhong Yi’s Understanding

The Flower Venerable needed to drink Drunken God Flower Juice, but once she did, she would lose all control to others.

The Flower Venerable hated, or even feared, this feeling.

”Xiaoyi, since you’re the one treating me, let’s do it at your residence.”

”I’ll entrust my injuries and everything else to you!”

Zhong Yi was the Flower Venerable’s healer, so to her, his residence was indeed the safest place.

Before Zhong Yi could reply, the Flower Venerable continued her questions.

”Xiaoyi, the Drunken God Flower Juice will only put me to sleep for two hours at most.”

”Can you remove the seed from my body within those two hours?”

Zhong Yi did not object to the Flower Venerable coming to him for treatment.

’This shows the Flower Venerable’s trust in me!’

As for how long it would take to remove the seed from the Flower Venerable’s body, the Soul-Controlling Flower indicated that it could be extracted very quickly.

’So it won’t even take two hours!’

Since the Drunken God Flower Juice had no side effects, Zhong Yi decided it would be better for the Flower Venerable to drink a larger dose.

’For one, a larger dose would ensure that both her body and soul remained deep in slumber. For another, I don’t want the Flower Venerable to think I removed this seed too easily.’

”Aunt Ying, you can just come over directly.”

”If you don’t want to be seen, you can use the Signal Cicada’s location to find me. I’ll treat you in my room.”

Not long after, the Flower Venerable’s figure appeared at Zhong Yi’s window.

The Flower Venerable wore a purplish-red long dress, covered by an outer layer of gauze woven from Floating Light Brocade.

Compared to yesterday, the Flower Venerable was dressed much more simply today.

Just as she was about to enter Zhong Yi’s room, the Flower Venerable suddenly frowned and looked behind her.

Three Antelope Beasts had appeared behind her at some unknown time.

One of the Antelope Beasts stood poised for attack, its hooves tensed. The very air beneath them seemed to crackle and fracture.

The Flower Venerable’s gaze swept over the three Antelope Beasts, and she spoke with a hint of surprise.

”Master Tao En, I didn’t expect your soul to have recovered to this extent!”

”I’m here to see Xiaoyi at his invitation. Are you looking for a fight?”

Tao En’s figure then appeared beside the three Antelope Beasts.

Seeing that the visitor was the Flower Venerable, and with Zhong Yi standing at the window obviously expecting her, Tao En smiled awkwardly.

He had just sensed an incredibly subtle aura, so subtle that he had almost failed to notice it.

Clearly, the person emitting this aura was far stronger than him.

Upon sensing this aura heading toward Zhong Yi’s room, Tao En had immediately activated his Soul Base and sent his three Guardian Beasts over.

’I’m the strongest one in Zhong Yi’s residence! It’s my duty to protect Zhong Yi if there’s danger.’

Looking at the Flower Venerable, who was half-crouched at the window, Tao En was suddenly struck by the feeling that he was catching a lover in the act.

He immediately banished the thought from his mind.

’How old is the Flower Venerable!? She’s a figure from ages past! She’s a senior even to me. How could she possibly be doing something like that?’

”Young Master, since you and the Flower Venerable have an appointment, I won’t disturb you.”

After speaking, Tao En smiled awkwardly again and hastily recalled his three Guardian Beasts into his Soul Base.

Entering Zhong Yi’s room, the Flower Venerable said to him with a smile.

”Xiaoyi, you’re quite capable!”

”I knew it. Star Night wouldn’t have brought a Guardian Beast Master with a damaged soul like Tao En back to Starlight City for no reason, and even let him develop his own influence there.”

”So it was you who healed Tao En’s damaged soul.”

”If Red Dragon knew he let a Five-finger Peak Creator get away, he’d be hopping mad.”

Hearing this, Zhong Yi chuckled and shrugged.

”I did indeed treat Master Tao En’s soul, but it hasn’t fully recovered yet.”

”However, I’m confident I can make Master Tao En’s soul heal completely.”

”As for Longya City, if Master Tao En had really recovered his soul there, having two Five-finger Peak Creators butting heads would probably have been an even bigger headache.”

”Aunt Ying, just drink the Drunken God Flower Juice. You can leave everything else to me without worry.”

”When you wake up, your chronic ailment might be completely gone. You’ll feel like you’ve been reborn!”

The Flower Venerable wasn’t well-acquainted with Tao En, but she knew his situation clearly.

Since Zhong Yi was confident he could even heal Tao En’s soul, the Flower Venerable’s confidence in Zhong Yi’s healing ability grew immensely.

”Xiaoyi, the Drunken God Flower Juice I prepared should be enough. You can keep this Drunken God Flower.”

”In the future, if someone else needs Drunken God Flower Juice during their treatment, you won’t have to go looking for it.”

With that, the Flower Venerable drained the Drunken God Flower Juice from the bottle and, in a matter of moments, leaned against the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

The Drunken God Flower looked extremely ordinary, very similar to a Curled Leaf Vine in overall appearance.

The only difference was that a Curled Leaf Vine doesn’t flower, while the Drunken God Flower could produce vibrant, four-colored blossoms.

Zhong Yi carefully placed the Drunken God Flower into his Storage Pouch. He wouldn’t dare try to raise something like a Drunken God Flower in his Soul Base.

Then, Zhong Yi began to communicate with the Soul-Controlling Flower rooted in his soul.

Dozens of ribbon-like floral filaments extended from the back of Zhong Yi’s head and pierced into the Flower Venerable’s left side.

In less than three minutes, a seed was pulled out by the Soul-Controlling Flower’s filaments.

The seed had a very dense root system, but for some unknown reason, it had never been able to sprout.

Looking at the seed’s root system, which was about half a meter long, Zhong Yi saw that the roots were embedded in the Flower Venerable’s internal organs and had even wrapped around her spine.

’I can’t imagine what kind of torture the Flower Venerable must have endured in her daily life because of this seed.’

Zhong Yi summoned the Resurrection Celestial Lord and had it release two Cores of Resurgence to heal the slumbering Flower Venerable.

Then, Zhong Yi used All Things Exploration to examine the seed that had been parasitizing the Flower Venerable’s body.

[Guardian Beast Name]: Judgment Evil Lotus

[Guardian Beast Species]: Life Lotus Species / Evil Lotus Species

[Guardian Beast Level]: Extraordinary Level (9/10)

[Guardian Beast Type]: Mysterious Element

[Guardian Beast Quality]: Silver Quality

Skills:

[Absolute Lotus Seed]: When in a seed state, or for seeds it produces, it possesses the absolute ability to parasitize other life forms. Even if the target dies, the parasitic relationship cannot be terminated until the Energy within the target’s body is depleted.

[Blood Lotus Controller]: Sprouts an Evil Lotus within the target’s body. The Evil Lotus absorbs the target’s blood and injects special pheromones into the target’s body, thereby influencing the target’s instincts to achieve control.

Exclusive Traits:

[Clan Extermination Evil Blood]: Turns the host into an organ for acquiring energy, forcing the host to prey on life forms with a similar genetic template. The evil blood it secretes can be released externally through the host as a special pheromone. This pheromone causes the dissolution of the entire species’ genetic template, effectively turning the host’s species into a food source.

[Lotus-Quenched Pure Dew]: Every time a species is annihilated, it produces a drop of Pure Dew. This Pure Dew, brewed by the lotus using a biological species as its base, has the effect of mending flawed Rules.

This inspection made Zhong Yi freeze on the spot.

In his previous life, when he was designing games, Zhong Yi had focused his main efforts on designing Guardian Beasts.

After coming to the Guardian Beast World, he had also encountered Guardian Beasts like the Endless Wood, which came from other worlds.

This Guardian Beast named Judgment Evil Lotus absolutely exceeded Zhong Yi’s understanding of Guardian Beasts.

’This is the first time I’ve ever seen such an evil Guardian Beast!’

This Judgment Evil Lotus seed, parasitizing the Flower Venerable’s body, wasn’t just a threat to her personal safety, but to the life and death of the entire human race!

With its Exclusive Trait, Clan Extermination Evil Blood, the Judgment Evil Lotus could use a powerful figure of the human world like the Flower Venerable as its feeding organ.

By controlling the Flower Venerable, it would make her feed on other humans.

After the Flower Venerable devoured a large number of humans, the Judgment Evil Lotus would analyze human genes and could even produce a substance called ”evil blood”!
