Chapter 927 - 21: The Blacksmiths' Heaven-Defying Plan: Sending the Night Emperor to Be the Immortal Venerate’s Pet
"Young Master Liu, this batch is quite extraordinary," the clerk said with great enthusiasm."You say that every time, and every batch of spirit beasts is just the same. Go on with your work."
A wealthy young man walked in, dressed in luxurious clothes, clearly an aristocratic youth from nearby.
Liu Xinghen's treatment in the family wasn't great; he could only afford upper-grade spirit beasts, but he was not satisfied, so he wanted to venture out and explore.
After all, beast taming is a lifelong matter.
Everyone hopes to find a spirit beast with decent qualifications.
After all, this is much harder than choosing a spiritual root!
If you choose Xinyi Grass, all lower-grade Xinyi Grass are of the same quality, with no difference.
But when choosing a spirit beast of the same quality and divine technique, its personality, level of effort, potential, intelligence... have a massive impact!
If you choose a celestial-grade spirit beast, and it's lazy, it would be better to choose a middle-grade one.
Liu Xinghen circled around and suddenly his gaze fell on a spirit deer.
With his expert beast-taming knowledge, he immediately noticed something was off with this camouflage deer calf.
Camouflage deer, skilled in disguise, have a sense of harmony with nature.
But this one seemed to completely lack that charm.
He frowned, glanced again at the yawning clerk sitting behind the cashier, and a thought struck him: "Its eyes look strange, so intelligent... is it mutated?"
At this thought, Liu Xinghen's heart burned with excitement.
Could it be that I've found a treasure?
Logically, these beast shops don't test the divine techniques and qualifications of lower-grade spirit beasts.
But for upper-grade spirit beasts, even if the racial divine technique is fixed, they would still check it once, right?
How could it be missed?
Could it be they're saving on testing costs?
Liu Xinghen had heard about some slimy store managers pocketing the testing fees.
After all.
Racial mutations are less than one in ten thousand in probability.
With a heart aflame, he made a bold decision to gamble.
Even if he guessed wrong, buying it wouldn't be a huge loss since it's an upper-grade spirit beast in itself.
He covered the subspace box of the deer with a cloth and said coldly, "I really like this deer, I'm buying it."
The clerk was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Alright, alright!"
Soon, Liu Xinghen decisively paid and left immediately.
The clerk watched the young master leave, silent for a long time, "The upper-grade spirit beasts his family has are better than this camouflage deer; why choose this thing?"
Moreover, the camouflage deer is not combat-type.
Generally, no one chooses it as their first spirit beast because lacking combat power severely impacts one's future.
And just now, Young Master Liu even covered it with a black cloth as if worried about taking another glance...
The clerk wasn't dumb, quickly realizing that although the young man was clever, he was too green and had many small oversights.
But then he thought, "Forget it, what's it to me? Not like it's mine anyway, and reporting it might cause trouble, and I can't afford to offend the Liu family."
In business, anyone smart knows to play deaf and dumb.
Ning Zheng glanced at the clever clerk, sighed softly about his luck, then continued to perk up his rabbit ears, listening to the storytelling in the tavern next door, absorbing outside information.
...
...
Liu Xinghen hurriedly returned to his family, entered the mansion, and asked the family elders to borrow the spirit beast divine technique detection instrument.
After all, the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain is one of the strongest systems in the All Heavens World, so profound that outsiders can hardly imagine their understanding of beast taming.
For they are said to master ten thousand beasts; even humans are considered beasts.
Thus, the compatibility of the beast taming system is exceptionally high, nothing cannot be tamed.
Three million years ago, the beast taming system experienced another explosion, and the "Corpse Control System" emerged, controlling corpses, claiming to cut three corpses into the Dao, extremely formidable and overbearing.
Over a million years ago, the Ten Thousand Beasts System faced another significant update, and the "Artifact-controlling System" appeared, combined with a world's system, enabling the enlightenment and control of inanimate objects.
All kinds of swords, spears, blades, halberds even became a branch of the beast taming system.
This branch even overturned the Beast Tamer's inherent weakness, using various magical treasures for defense, even allowing the body to engage in combat.
Thus, even unknown divine techniques of demon beasts can be roughly estimated with the detection instrument.
"Detecting."
The artifact spirit emitted a voice.
Soon, a general result appeared, and Liu Xinghen couldn't help but laugh loudly, "I truly am Celestial Destiny!"
"First Dharma Method, I shall cultivate Soul Beast, with Yin Attribute."
"Sharing some Divine Techniques of Beast Taming, even gaining part of the super brain, my mind… will be greatly enhanced, mastering various Beast Taming Divine Techniques and Techniques, I will unquestionably seize first place in the upcoming family competition!"
His gaze was fiery, ambition burning brightly,
"Moreover, this mutated Camouflage Deer is an Ancestor of the species, and if it possesses value in breeding and cultivation… in my hands, it will become an endless gold mine!"
In Beast Taming, combat types are not the strongest among tamed beasts.
Various support types, protection types are the strongest and most precious. This wise and sage Camouflage Deer, with infinite computing power, can serve as the core strategist of a beast-taming team, very rare indeed.
...
...
A loud "whoosh" followed.
Ning Zheng's consciousness returned to Sword Casting Manor, entering through its grand gateway.
He called out to Jiucai Rong, casually tossing over a document, "This is the Subspace-launched information on the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain in the Immortal Realm, take a look and formulate a corresponding plan."
Jiucai Rong was speechless inside, taking the information, inwardly grumbling:
Can't the Manor Master directly give us the information?
Why must we launch Subspace, collect information on our own?
In their eyes, the Manor Master, who can traverse realms, must also be an Immortal, already knowing much about the distribution structure of the various forces in the Immortal Realm.
However, the Manor Master might be training us, launching Subspace, letting us act independently...
The old steward left directly.
Soon.
Jiucai Rong and others returned to the steward's room, took the data, briefly browsed through it, and were instantly astonished.
They, like Ning Zheng, immediately realized.
"The Thirteen Domains of the Immortal Realm, the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain is one of the giants, Celestial Destiny World is likely taken as a Beast Taming ranch…"
"The Daoists in Celestial Destiny World are auspicious beasts with destiny."
"Isn't the Night Emperor very appealing? The leader of the Three Royal Families!"
"I see, the other two of the Three Royal Families are Emperor Zangwu and Jian Xin... it seems Celestial Destiny World should not be exposed, once exposed, it might become a hunting ground!"
Everyone discussed.
Night Mad Cultivator couldn't help but say: "It's not that it can't be exposed, but it needs to be exposed in a special way."
Everyone looked at this strategist: "What do you mean?"
Night Mad Cultivator said: "Back then, how did Sword Casting Manor leap from a minor power to become the first in the world through pretending to be stronger than it was? It was by entering the Capital City, forging Sun Moon Divine Weapons."
"Now, growing steadily and slowly, it's still too slow. We can, as usual, create a springboard to rise above."
"For example, expose Celestial Destiny World to the eyes of a powerful Immortal, she considers Celestial Destiny World her private hunting ground, secretly protects it; isn't that better than us covering it up?"
"She, this great beauty, considers it her estate, might even invest in Celestial Destiny World, attempting to breed more Auspicious Beasts, signing contracts with their family."
"When known by a small group of top Cultivators, it's better than being widely known and contained."
Everyone was astonished.
The Medical Fairy rolled her eyes: "Why her?"
"I know the Night Emperor," Night Mad Cultivator said. "He'll definitely choose a beautiful Immortal as the owner."
Everyone: "..."
Night Mad Cultivator looked all serious. "Living off a woman is better than being a miner, right? Being an Immortal Venerate's steed, isn't it rising to power? I think he'd enjoy it."
Everyone was overwhelmed.
Though it's indeed a good plan.
They, the Sword Casting Manor, how did they take off in such a short time? It was because they didn't practice straightforwardly, they plotted with bigshots, blended into elite circles.
When they were still small iron-smiths in the Four Viscera Realm, they bluffed and swindled, using the fearless nature of blacksmiths, themselves as forging materials, jumped into furnaces with their proprietary monopoly skill, mingled into the Capital City, committed suicide to become Artifact Spirits, deceiving Divine Craftsmen into partnerships, together forging Divine Weapons.
They fully understood that enduring hardships and progressing honestly wouldn't work!
They needed patrons, to ride on the coattails of major powers.
Now, this Beasts-taming lineage appeared dreadful as a disaster, their arch-enemies, the hunters.
But turning the thought around: never be a slave, except when offered full board and lodging?
"No, we need to contact Night Emperor, to devise a new plan."
Night Mad Cultivator instantly decided: "First, find a reputable and decent woman beast-taming major power."
"Voluntarily offering oneself is the dumbest, it requires accidentally being discovered, people come to observe Celestial Destiny World and capture Night Emperor, then Night Emperor displays unyielding integrity, eventually forced to compromise, becoming their beast-taming steed."
Everyone burst into laughter.
"You have no integrity!"
The new blacksmiths, including the indigenous blacksmith No-Life Whale, were deeply shocked: "So that's how you Sword Casting Manor rose!"
