Chapter 22 Blackwater Manor Spirit Beast Cub Area! [New Book, Please Vote!]
Raising spirit beast cubs is actually a very tedious task. A normal laborer would only be paid three spirit stones for this job, but the actual pay is often only one spirit stone, or even less. This is because raising spirit beast cubs requires consuming spirit stones to feed them low-grade spirit herbs and meat.
Wang Sheng originally intended to find any Qi Refining handyman to do this kind of work, but there were too few good Qi Refining handymen. Especially after losing Meng De, the best employee, the Foundation Establishment disciples of each peak clearly felt that the quality of the handymen's work seemed to have declined.
"I naturally understand this principle." Meng De nodded. He naturally understood this. For him, Wang Sheng's willingness to give two more spirit stones was already an unexpected surprise.
Even if Wang Sheng still offered three spirit stones, Meng De would only hesitate for a moment before finally accepting.
The reason is simple: it's the blood of a spirit beast... the finest spirit blood!
Mengde was just thinking about how to give the Blood Mosquitoes extra food, and now... he was just about to go to sleep when someone came to hand him a pillow!
"Yes, Junior Sister Lin, you can rest assured. Junior Brother Meng is the best among the twelve peaks of Spirit Beast Mountain..." Wang Sheng originally wanted to say "handyman," but remembering that Meng De was now a disciple of Master Qingling, he immediately changed his words: "Spirit Beast Caretaker!"
"...Hmm...Alright..." Lin Shuyin hesitated slightly, but seeing how much Wang Sheng was praising Meng De, she couldn't say anything in the end and stopped objecting.
The young female cultivator named Yue Ling then said, "We will come to check on the spirit beast's condition in three months."
"No problem," Meng De nodded, and gave the location of his Blackwater Manor.
Seeing that Mengde had accepted the entrustment of fostering the spirit beasts, Wang Sheng asked Yue and Lin to take out the spirit beast pouches: "In that case, I'll leave Lin's Fire Serpent and Lin's Earth Bear to you."
Both the Fire Serpent and the Earth Bear are considered mid-tier spirit beasts, possessing the potential to reach level four (late Foundation Establishment) and a high probability of breaking through to level two. Of course, they cannot compare to the Blood Demon Golden Lion, a high-tier spirit beast of Blood Lion Peak, as the Blood Demon Golden Lion has the potential to break through to level five (early Core Formation).
"These are thirty low-grade spirit stones, my payment for these three months. Please keep them safe, Junior Brother Meng." Wang Sheng personally handed the thirty low-grade spirit stones and two primary spirit beast bags to Meng De.
"If there's anything urgent, you can contact me through this communication talisman." After Mengde finished counting the spirit stones and Yue Lin and the other two finished saying their final goodbyes to the two spirit beast cubs, Wang Sheng thought for a moment and then handed Mengde a yellow communication talisman.
"Okay, Senior Brother Wang, don't worry, I will definitely raise your spirit beasts to be plump and healthy!" Meng De accepted the thirty low-grade spirit stones and two primary spirit beast bags, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.
"See you in three months. If possible, we can renew the contract." After Wang Sheng finished explaining the spirit beast matters to Yue Lin and the other person, he left with them. His WiFi signal was already full!
"Take care, Senior Brother Wang!" Outside the Black Bee Palace, Meng De watched Wang Sheng and the other two board a spirit eagle and fly into the sky. Then he glanced down at his spirit stone bag, which was now full again, and couldn't help but feel a little happy.
After losing the welfare allowance given by Senior Sister Qingli, Meng De successfully received another welfare allowance from Wang Sheng.
Although both the former and the latter types of work resembled menial tasks, Mengde actually enjoyed doing them. If you were to ask him to take on high-risk, high-reward assignments, he would be quite resistant.
With the powerful weapon of the "Creation Gene Sequence" in hand, wouldn't it be better for Mengde to secretly raise mosquitoes?
Moreover... Mengde subconsciously glanced at his left arm, where the mysterious and eerie X-spiral rune seemed to have a faint glow at its end...
"I wonder if it's just my imagination, but it feels like the condensation speed of the source blood is a little faster... Could it be because of my cultivation level?" Meng De thought to himself as he looked at the 'Creation Gene Sequence' pattern on his left arm, which only he could observe.
From the moment he broke free from the mystery of his birth and realized who he was, this "creation gene sequence" pattern appeared quietly, like a birthmark, and gradually lit up over time.
It took Mengde about twenty years to condense the first drop of Creation Source Blood. He wondered how long it would take to condense the next drop.
"I was busy with scientific research in my previous life and didn't know much about the novel 'A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality.' If it weren't for the anime where Han Li's Nascent Soul Fire formation went viral and I watched a bit of it, I really wouldn't know anything..." Although Meng De knew some of the exciting plot, he understood that the transmission of information would result in entropy increase. Neither novels nor anime could completely reflect the real world of cultivation.
Therefore, Mengde only used some key information as a reference, and did not fully believe other detailed plot information.
The key pieces of information that Mengde has extracted that can be trusted are:
First, Han Li is the protagonist, and he will be incredibly powerful in the future.
Secondly, Han Li has an external cheat bottle that can accelerate plant growth and allow him to cultivate immortality by taking drugs.
Third, it seems that Spirit Beast Mountain really is an undercover agent...
Meng De regarded all other information besides these three pieces of information as mere references and selectively compared them.
After all, the original work didn't mention Mengde, but in reality, there is an extra Mengde. Therefore, the so-called plot has long lost its inevitability.
"I should focus on my cultivation..." Outside the Black Bee Palace, Meng De watched the cultivators flying in the air, then came to his senses and looked again at the gathering on the street behind the Black Bee Palace. After thinking for a moment, he went in for a look.
"This... the 'Yin-Gathering Technique'... is it just being sold so openly? Is nobody going to care?" Meng De saw a dual cultivation technique at a small stall at the gathering.
"Hehe... If you don't tell me, and I don't tell you, who will know?" The stall owner chuckled. "How about I give you five spirit stones?"
"..." Meng De naturally dared not accept it... Even though he wanted to study the principles behind it, he really didn't dare to buy this kind of cultivation technique now. After all... if Yun Xi Qing Li found out, how could he still curry favor with her?
"...This Fireball Technique only...three spirit stones?" Meng De suddenly saw a Fireball Technique book and was stunned when he saw its price.
"Hehe, if you go to those gatherings of independent cultivators, it will be cheaper." Seeing that Meng De was not interested in the "Yin-Gathering Technique," the stall owner put the book back under the other techniques.
"Huh? Why?" Mengde asked subconsciously.
"Because independent cultivators don't provide after-sales service." The middle-aged stall owner smiled faintly. "Although I don't guarantee you'll master it either, if you make a mistake while practicing the techniques and spells on my stall, you can come and cause me trouble. I, Bai Yunsheng, never do anything shady."
The stall owner, Bai Yunsheng, resolved all of Meng De's doubts with a single sentence.
"Hmm..." Meng De continued browsing the stall for a while, and finally chose a book called "Introduction to Blood Path" and "Introduction to Talismans", paying a total of five spirit stones.
Then Mengde set up a new stall next to Bai Yunsheng's stall using the fabric that Bai Yunsheng didn't want.
The stall had nothing but a banner that read:
Professional Foster Care for Your Spirit Beast Cubs!
Capture spirit beasts!
Collect unwanted spirit beasts!
Subdue the disobedient spirit beasts!
Mengde Spirit Beast Cub Park is happy to serve you!
