Chapter 9

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The resource treasure vault was located underground in the school’s administrative building. It was even specially guarded by a commander-level teacher.

Mu Xuan stepped into the school’s resource vault with anticipation. As a school that controlled a miniature mystic realm, it definitely had unique resources. It depended on whether it was suitable for him.

“Student Mu Xuan, take your time and choose carefully. Don’t be anxious,” the teacher-in-charge said with a smile, filled with a sense of friendliness. What a joke. He had long been instructed to be friendly with Mu Xuan by the school leader. Naturally, he had to be friendly!

“Alright, Teacher Wei.”

Then, Mu Xuan began to observe the various resources in the treasure vault and search for suitable resources.

Resources were a general term. In ancient times, they were also called natural treasures. Rare treasures could basically be called resources if they were useful for the cultivation or evolution of beasts.

For example, the Treasure Jade Crystal, the Rare Gold Spirit Ore, the Strange Flowers and Herbs, the Spirit Root Spirit Fruit, the Spirit Milk Essence, the blood essence, internal organs, organs, horns, even saliva, and so on belonged to the category of resources.

At this moment, Mu Xuan saw something and was overjoyed. He had finally discovered something good!

[Dragon Blood Stone]

Level: Elite

Applicable range: Dragon, Inferior Dragon, Serpent, Elemental Life Form…

Introduction: A stone that has absorbed the power of the dragon blood. It looks inconspicuous, but it contains the energy of the dragon attribute. It’s very precious and can be used for the evolution of certain beasts.

Among all the resource types, there was a special type, which was the dragon attribute. This was because the applicability of the dragon attribute was very broad and it was suitable for most demon beasts and beasts, making the demand for dragon-element resources and the price especially high. It could be said to be in short supply.

The Dragon Blood Stone in front of him was one of them, but what was exciting was that the school’s appraiser didn’t detect that it was a precious Dragon Blood Stone. Instead, he labeled it as the Dragon Saliva Stone.

After all, the Dragon Blood Stone was a stone that had absorbed the power of the dragon blood. It was a resource that even commander-levels needed. As for the Dragon Saliva Stone, it was just a stone that was stained with dragon saliva. The dragon power contained in it was minimal. At most, it was needed by elite low-levels. The price difference between the two differed by more than a thousand times.

Therefore, Mu Xuan didn’t hesitate to take this Dragon Blood Stone that was worth one million yuan in his hand. Then, Mu Xuan chose another Cold Frost Stone. At this point, Mu Xuan had picked out both items.

After a simple registration, Mu Xuan finally returned home in satisfaction. On the way, Mu Xuan had already started to plan how to evolve the Ice Crystal Spirit.

Generally speaking, as an elemental life form, there was almost no need to consider evolution. After all, it could directly evolve into a monarch and become an expert.

However, Mu Xuan’s Ice Crystal Spirit was different. It was born with flaws and lacked foundation. Its bloodline had degenerated to the level of a beast king.

After all, the difference between the beast king level and the monarch level was like the difference between heaven and earth. Mu Xuan naturally had to prepare early. He was still thinking about how to solve this problem previously, but after seeing that Dragon Blood Stone, an idea instantly formed!

That was to let the Ice Crystal Spirit evolve in the direction of the Ice Dragon!

Elemental lives were very malleable and could develop in many directions, but dragons were definitely the best choice. Most importantly, once it evolved into a dragon, his talent ability could be used to help the Ice Crystal Spirit become the top dragon.

After returning home, Mu Xuan helped the Ice Crystal Spirit cultivate as usual, while he searched for the resources needed for the Ice Crystal Spirit to evolve.

“This kid has the aura of that bloodline on him! Although it’s very, very faint, it still can’t escape my perception!” The moment Mu Xuan stepped into his house, he didn’t know that Lin Yan’s eyes revealed a trace of excitement.

Lin Yan’s talent, aura perception, could allow him to sense various auras, especially auras with extremely high energy fluctuations. The more he sensed Lin Min, the stronger the sensation felt. It was like treasure hunting, but it had more applications.

Through this talent, Lin Yan rose from the ordinary level to the commander level 9 in just a year. Unfortunately, before he could break through to the overlord level, the Hang City branch of the Dark Alliance that he was in was wiped out by the experts of the government and the Beast Taming College in Zhe Dong.

Fortunately, Lin Yan’s luck was pretty good. He escaped in the chaos and relied on his aura sensing talent to dodge the layers of obstructions. He successfully escaped into the Dragon Gate Mountain Range and arrived at Golden Flower City hundreds of kilometers away.

Initially, Lin Yan planned to head to Shandong province. That place was remote and filled with mountains, suitable for hiding. But after encountering the bloodline aura above the monarch level in Golden Flower City, he was… tempted!

Lin Yan calmly stepped into the floor and sensed Mu Xuan enter room 606. He immediately smiled. “I found you, little guy!”

Then, Lin Yan began to silently think about how to monopolize that bloodline. He guessed that there was definitely not much bloodline to begin with. It would be too wasteful to split it between the three of them…

At night, just as Mu Xuan was about to sleep, there was a knock on the door. It was Ling Fangfei’s tired figure.

“Sister Fangfei, you just returned?” Mu Xuan said in surprise.

Ling Fangfei sighed. “I have no choice. This is an academy mission. The reward for completing it is very generous. I have to complete it.”

Mu Xuan nodded gently. He had long heard that the competition in the Beast Taming colleges was especially intense. The best way to stand out was to do missions, obtain resources, and let the beast grow as soon as possible. Obviously, this was what Ling Fangfei was doing.

“Unfortunately, I can’t help much,” Mu Xuan said in embarrassment. He was only at elite level 4. If he had encountered those three so-called criminals, it would probably take the other party one skill to deal with him

Ling Fangfei rolled her eyes and said, “In a month or two, you’ll probably be able to catch up to me.”

“Haha, that’s still two months!” Mu Xuan shrugged and asked, “Sister, describe the three criminals you mentioned to me. At the very least, you need to tell me more about them, right?”

Ling Fangfei hesitated for a moment and nodded. “Among these three criminals, the one in the lead is called Lin Yan. He’s quite handsome. Legend has it that he has a talent ability and two commander-level beasts. He’s very strong, but unfortunately, he gave up on himself. Fortunately, his two beasts were already heavily injured as he escaped. Even he was implicated…”

“Then there’s Zhang Dazhu. This guy is stocky and has huge strength…”

Before Ling Fangfei could finish speaking, Mu Xuan’s expression was already especially serious. He confirmed again, “Sister, you mean the leader of the criminals is called Lin Yan?!”

“Yes, why? You’ve heard of him?!” Ling Fangfei said in surprise. God knew that she had been searching everywhere in Golden Flower City these two days and was almost exhausted.

Mu Xuan looked at the information panel that appeared outside the room, and his heart sank. His expression immediately changed. “Sister, prepare for battle!”
