The Master of Beasts-Chapter 748 - 230: Beast Mastery Apprentice

"You're talking nonsense! That's not your clansman, of course you think it's unnecessary!" Yi Chong cursed angrily.

"Yi Chong, Tian Yue is right, my Dark Sun also senses the threat!" Yi Qi's palm revealed an ominous dark sun.

"How is this possible?"

Yi Chong had a look of disbelief. It was known that Yi Qi's Dark Sun had resolved several Daluo Spiritual Beasts in Ming Sea, and generally, Daluo couldn't withstand the terrifying power of the Dark Sun. Even he sensed the threat?

"Forget it, maybe we shouldn't just remain in Ming Sea; we should also make our presence known in the True Realm!" Yi Qi cast his gaze beyond Ming Sea.

"What do you think?"

Tian Yue looked out into the distance, his tone complex: "That's right, it's time for us to go out. However, we can't casually abandon Ming Sea; this is our rear stronghold. If it doesn't work out, we can still return to the Underworld through Ming Sea's passage."

"Yes, I think so too!"

Star Moon City

The news of eight old relics existing in the Tomb of Death quickly alarmed Jialouluo Shuibing and others.

Even after repeatedly inquiring about and investigating Little Nine, they found no problem with him.

Heavenly Immortal Cultivation, considerably aged, with only a few Hui Yuan of life span left, appearing like a tree about to wither.

With reassurance from numerous Daluo, Chen Jiuge felt quite confident about him and agreed to Zuyan Feng's request to let Little Nine live with them.

While cultivating Spiritual Beast, Chen Jiuge asked Little Nine beside him, "Why did you come to me?"

Drenched in a smell of wine but with clear eyes, Little Nine waved his hand, saying, "Brother Feng is drunk; I was bored, so I wandered over."

"Did you see it directly?" Chen Jiuge asked in surprise.

Star Moon Pond is covered by a barrier, and someone like Little Nine at Heavenly Immortal level generally couldn't see inside.

"Yes, you are such a big guy, of course I can see!" Little Nine replied curiously.

Suppressing his inner surprise, Chen Jiuge nodded, "Indeed."

"Are you cultivating Spiritual Beast?" Little Nine asked curiously.

"Yes!"

With the completion of the final spell, the Star Horse in front became taller and sturdier, and the aura around it intensified significantly.

"What's the use?" Little Nine asked curiously.

"Besides eating, what else does a Spiritual Beast do? Oh, it's for eating more meat, right?" Little Nine said, salvating a bit.

"Humph"

The Star Horse snorted, expressing dissatisfaction towards Little Nine, issued a cry of discontent, but under Chen Jiuge's comfort, it ultimately did not make a fuss, only stared at Little Nine fiercely before running away.

"It's different."

"Little Nine, weak Spiritual Beasts are like humans; they are not just food. They have their uses too."

"Star Horse can be used for transportation or carrying goods, saving some cultivators' immortal power. Don't underestimate that little power; it might save a cultivator's life."

Little Nine showed a hint of suspicion: "Really?"

"Why not?"

Chen Jiuge captured another Star Horse, preparing for a new round of cultivation.

The cultivation of the Star Horse did not depend on the Chaos Pearl ability; it was something Chen Jiuge figured out on his own, without changing its bloodline, just enhancing its potential, giving it a greater future.

In the following days, Little Nine would come to Star Moon Pond to watch Chen Jiuge cultivating Spiritual Beast. This monotonous life didn't make Little Nine feel bored, instead, it was interesting!

In Little Nine's era, there were indeed Beast Masters, but at that time humans were relatively weak overall, and cultivation methods were pitiful compared to then; aside from the nobles, most lower-class humans could only practice techniques that slightly strengthened the body.

"Are you interested in this?"

After finishing cultivating the Spiritual Beast in hand, Chen Jiuge suddenly turned to Little Nine and said.

Little Nine froze for a moment, nodded: "Quite interested."

"It seems magical!"

Using lifeless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to evolve a life form to another kind of life isn't it magical?

Of course, this was Chen Jiuge's own perspective, and it wasn't necessarily that way for others. Perhaps in their eyes, like Yue Meng and others, it might be rather tedious and dull!

Seeing the somewhat smoky look on Little Nine's face, a miraculous thought suddenly crossed Chen Jiuge's mind.

"Little Nine, do you want to learn this?"

"Me?" Little Nine pointed at himself with a surprised face: "I can learn too?"

"Of course you can!" Chen Jiuge affirmed.

Though his exhibited Beast Taming Ability relied on the Chaos Pearl power, it didn't mean that Chen Jiuge himself lacked the capability to cultivate Fierce Beasts!

The Chaos Pearl resembled a grand master guiding Chen Jiuge on the path of cultivating Spiritual Beasts, although the process was rather crude and simple without explanation, repeated occurrence results in lots of knowledge being learned!

Away from Chaos Pearl's abilities, merely relying on himself, Chen Jiuge's Beast Taming Abilities still qualified him to be titled a Beast Taming Master!

"Greetings, Master!"

Little Nine instantly knelt on both knees, bowing.

Despite Little Nine himself being at Daluo Cultivation level, in the eyes of Chen Jiuge and others, he was merely Heavenly Immortal, thus kneeling and acknowledging a master was perfectly normal.

As for what the Daluo-level Little Nine actually thought, nobody knew.

"Excellent, Little Nine, from today onward you are my first disciple!" Chen Jiuge said kindly.

"Yes, Master, I will strive to cultivate!" Little Nine said, expression unchanged.

"Here are some of my Beast Taming insights; take them back and go over them. They include some simple Beast Taming Magic Techniques, familiarize yourself with them. After you finish reading these insights, come to me!"

"I will prepare a suitable Spiritual Beast for you!" Chen Jiuge smiled and nodded.

"Thank you, Master!"

Watching Little Nine leave, the smile on Chen Jiuge's face gradually faded, brow furrowing slightly, showing a hint of doubt: "Strange, why did I suddenly think of taking Little Nine as a disciple?"

"Could it be just an impulse?"

"Never mind, since I already accepted him, no need to treat him poorly!"

Somewhat puzzled, Chen Jiuge slightly shook his head, as things had reached this point, there was nothing more to say.

.......

Little Nine, leaving Star Moon Pond, glanced back at Chen Jiuge turning into a dot, showing a sly smile: "Master, although your cultivation is low, your Beast Taming Skills are truly remarkable!"

"Though I used a little trick, succeeding is quite good!"

"However, master, you got a great bargain taking me in as a disciple. As long as I'm around, even if the big shots come, I can keep you safe!"

"Of course, this also depends on whether you'll teach me wholeheartedly!"

Humming a tune, Little Nine cheerfully walked toward Zuyan Feng's residence.

Upon returning home, Zuyan Feng was still asleep, with obvious alcohol fumes showing that the two drank a lot beforehand.

Stepping over Zuyan Feng's plump body, Little Nine suddenly turned back, revealing a black vertical mark on his brow, slightly opening a slit showing a trace of purple light.

"Turns out Brother Feng is also Master's Guardian Beast; no wonder Master is confident, letting me stay with Brother Feng."

Understanding this, Little Nine nodded.

"However, looking at this, are the Guardian Heavenly Beasts on the streets of Star Moon City all Master's Beast?"

The purple vertical eye slightly condensed, purple light swept across the numerous Guardian Heavenly Beasts.

"All of them? Master's Divine Soul Power is that strong? Impossible, must be some special Secret Technique, such an extensive contract amount is beyond even a Daluo level!" Little Nine negated himself.

"But, I heard the boss is a Spring and Autumn Cicada that transformed into human form, if I can contract the boss!" Little Nine's eyes gleamed with excitement, it seemed more fun!

The boss of the Tomb of Death never anticipated that crazy Little Nine would think more crazy, actually considering the boss himself.

"Must not be rushed, must not be rushed, the boss is highly vigilant!"

"Also there's number eight, but he's too weak to be of concern."

After analyzing all eight older brothers, Little Nine found them all just drinking and not worthy of concern.

"Hmm, excellent; brilliant only equals me, boss, you are mine!"

Little Nine made this resolution fiercely, determined to make his eldest brother his contracted Spiritual Beast.

"Now let me study these so-called Beast Taming insights properly!"

"Master, can't let me down!"
