Celestial Beast Taming

Chapter 492: Chapter 279: Zhong Ling and Shen Xuan’s Evolution

Tao En paused for a moment before continuing.

"To cultivate that member of the Blood Race, I spent a full fifty thousand Divine Origin Value to purchase all sorts of Bloodline Materials."

"But I’ve never seen any of these Bloodline Materials before, so it’s hard for me to discern their medicinal properties."

"I was afraid of wasting the materials, so I didn’t dare to concoct any Potions recklessly."

"The member of the Blood Race I’m raising can turn its blood into Blood Essence that coats its palms. It has a powerful combat Talent."

"After thinking it over, I decided not to raise it during the Creation Martial Arts Demonstration. I plan to bring it to the Guardian Beast World and study the Bloodline Materials at my own pace."

"Young Master, do you know how much a member of the Pure Blood Race costs in Divine Origin Value?"

"Participating in the Creation Gathering this time, besides the set of custom Creator tools I drew, I also gained an instant fifty thousand Divine Origin Value."

"It would be great if the Creation Gathering and Creation Martial Arts Demonstration happened once a month."

Hearing Tao En’s words, Zhong Yi couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

’Heh, who knew Elder Tao was this kind of old man.’

’Heh, so greedy!’

’Greed, thy name is Tao En.’

"Elder Tao, this Creation Gathering and Creation Martial Arts Demonstration were basically benefits handed out by the Wanyu Creation Company to every Creator."

"For Creators, especially those who have reached First Level High Tier, fifty thousand Divine Origin is actually not a lot."

"From now on, every Creation Martial Arts Demonstration will be tied to the Creation Sequence rankings, and who knows how many years it will be before another Creation Gathering is held."

"I think the interval will be at least ten years, maybe even twenty."

To Zhong Yi from his past life—a human from a world where the average lifespan was less than eighty—twenty years was a very long time.

But on the Virtual Source Network, twenty years is an extremely short period. The Wanyu Creation Company might not even see more than a hundred new Creators in that time.

No matter how wealthy the Wanyu Creation Company was, the cost of each Creation Martial Arts Demonstration was simply too high to hold them so frequently.

A look of regret appeared on Tao En’s face when he heard what Zhong Yi said.

Tao En suddenly thought of something and turned to ask Zhong Yi.

"Young Master, even if you do nothing in the Creation Martial Arts Demonstration, you can still get materials worth fifty thousand Divine Origin Value."

"Why did so many Creators withdraw?"

The confusion on Tao En’s face was genuine.

At that moment, in Tao En’s mind, the Creators who withdrew were nothing but complete and utter fools.

Zhong Yi heard this and, for a moment, wasn’t sure how to explain it to Tao En.

The Creators who withdrew from the Creation Martial Arts Demonstration, passing up on fifty thousand Divine Origin Value worth of materials, were generally at Tier One Middle Level or higher.

Furthermore, the Abilities of most of these Creators were extremely specialized.

And their reputation on the Virtual Source Network far outstripped their actual Ability as Creators.

If people like that were to participate in the Creation Martial Arts Demonstration and get a poor result, it would affect their collaborations with certain factions, not to mention their prestige.

Considering all this, it’s not hard to understand why these Creators, who weren’t short on resources to begin with, decided to withdraw.

But even if Zhong Yi explained it now, Tao En likely wouldn’t understand their reasoning.

Because Tao En wasn’t someone who cared about prestige in the slightest.

If he cared about prestige, he wouldn’t have relentlessly pursued Cao Xing’an for revenge back in Longya City.

"Elder Tao, the Guardian Beast World produces almost no Blood Attribute materials."

"You should keep these Bloodline Materials safe."

Zhong Yi paused here, then said to Tao En in a serious tone.

"Elder Tao, the Blood Race is an extremely talented Race."

"I am very interested in the Blood Race. After you bring that one back, I wonder if you could give it to me?"

Hearing that Zhong Yi was interested in the Blood Race, Tao En hurriedly took the exchanged Bloodline Materials from his Soul Base, put them into a Storage Pouch, and handed it to Zhong Yi.

"Young Master, since you’re interested in the Blood Race, take these Bloodline Materials as well."

"The Potions I concoct don’t use these Bloodline Materials anyway."

"After I help Flower Venerable raise their Lifebound Guardian Beast’s strength to the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations, I also plan to go into seclusion to help my own Lifebound Guardian Beast, the Shadow Horned Deer, advance."

"During my seclusion, I probably won’t be able to concoct any Sixth Level Potions."

Hearing this, Zhong Yi took the Storage Pouch from Tao En and said with a smile.

"Elder Tao, just focus on your seclusion."

"If anyone needs Sixth Level Potions, I’ll arrange for Cao Xing’an to help concoct them."

"Although Cao Xing’an’s Creator Ability hasn’t improved to the Six-finger Middle Tier, and he probably can’t reach the standard of a First Level Creator on the Virtual Source Network, he can still manage to concoct ordinary Sixth Level Potions."

After leaving Tao En’s room, Zhong Yi didn’t log back into the Virtual Source Network.

During the Creation Martial Arts Demonstration, Zhong Yi had received a friend request from an Upper-rank Elf.

This Upper-rank Elf had asked to meet Zhong Yi in eight days at the Wanyu Creation Company headquarters.

At the time, the Creation Martial Arts Demonstration had only been going on for six days.

Now, his meeting with the Upper-rank Elf from the Elf School to obtain the Five-Colored Corundum Pool was in four days.

By then, the results for the Creation Sequence rankings should also be out.

Zhong Yi decided to use this time to enter the Second Level Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm.

He would need to stay in the Second Level Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm for at least four to five days.

During that time, Zhong Yi could obtain two to three Soul Taming Seeds.

That would be enough for him to pick out some talent to recruit within the Second Level Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm.
