Chapter 59 - 49: Cultivation, the First Aperture!
By the time Bai Tianyu arrived…
Bai Ruge was still in a dazed state… with a blank stare, motionless.
A senior beast trainer and a doctor were checking on the Four-winged Flying Snake on the ground.
Bai Tianyu’s gaze moved from his daughter to the Four-winged Flying Snake, and his eyes twitched at the sight…
Six wings!
The originally four-winged flying snake had grown an additional pair of wings, turning into a Six-winged Flying Snake!
At this moment, the beast trainer stood up and respectfully said, “City Lord, the species level of the young lady’s guardian beast has now broken through to Extraordinary/ High, and has evolved into a Six-winged Flying Snake.”
“Congratulations!”
“Among the three major academies, including Chu Xuan, the guardian beasts of several geniuses are only Extraordinary/Moderate.”
“This Guardian Beast of the young lady should be the only Extraordinary/High among the geniuses of this generation.”
The doctor also stood up and said, “The Six-winged Flying Snake is not in any serious condition. It just seemed to have eaten too much earlier and became a bit weak after its species evolution.”
“It should recover after resting in the Beastmaster’s Space for a while.”
Bai Tianyu nodded slightly, “Thank you all for your efforts.”
The beast trainers and the others bowed and left.
Bai Tianyu waved his hand lightly, and the servants in the room filed out.
When there were only two people and the Six-winged Flying Snake left in the room, Bai Ruge’s face turned red, and she looked at her father timidly, saying, “Dad, I think I really misunderstood Junior Uncle before… ‘
“You just realized you were wrong now?” Bai Tianyu shook his head, “You were not only wrong but completely wrong!”
Bai Ruge’s face was full of shame, and she lowered her head, “Then… should I call him and apologize?”
Bai Tianyu looked at his daughter somewhat speechlessly, feeling a little frustrated, “You should go to the War God Academy personally.”
“If you want to apologize, show your sincerity!”
“Oh!” Bai Ruge’s face turned even redder, “I understand… I’ll check on the condition of the little four-winged snake tomorrow to see if it has awakened any species skills, and then go to the War God Academy the day after tomorrow.”
Meanwhile, Chen Fan was surfing the internet in his dormitory.
Snowy and the other two little fellows were still watching TV…
Most people’s guardian beasts, if not in training, were usually kept in the Beastmaster’s Space, only occasionally coming out for a stroll.
However, the three at Chen Fan’s home enjoyed playing outside and only went to the Beastmaster’s Space when they were sleeping.
Taking a sip of water, Chen Fan continued to look up various materials on the Guardian Beast shopping website.
After getting 160,000 union coins from Fang Qingqing, he began to collect various materials immediately.
Snowy’s Combat Power Level is 4, and its Species Level is Awakened/
Moderate;
Feicui’s Combat Power Level is 3, and its Species Level is
Extraordinary/Moderate;
Gangzi’s Combat Power Level is 2, and its Species Level is Awakened/
Moderate;
It was not a problem for Feicui and Gangzi to raise their Combat Power Level and Species Level, and the money was sufficient.
However, raising Snowy’s Combat Power Level encountered some difficulties…
Two of the materials needed for Snowy to level up from 4 to 5 were missing.
One of them was called “Furious Thunder Profound Spirit,” which cost only over 3,000 union coins. However, all the websites showed it was out of stock.
Chen Fan looked up the information about the Furious Thunder Profound Spirit and found that it was not very valuable. The environment it grew in was rather dangerous, and even if a Beastmaster knew where to find it, they would not want to take the risk of collecting it.
As a result, it was rather rare on the market.
As for the other material, called “Spirit Dragon Dew,” it could only be pre-ordered, with an uncertain delivery time, likely requiring about ten days to half a month.
“Spirit Dragon Dew” was actually the saliva secreted by the “Cold Pond Golden Horned Jiao Dragon” after sleeping for seven days.
The saliva excreted by the Cold Pond Golden Horned Jiao Dragon after sleeping for seven days was mainly used for healing guardian beasts, and its effects were surprisingly good.
But this saliva was difficult to preserve…
Once the saliva left the Cold Pond Golden Horned Jiao Dragon, it could only be preserved for about four hours before losing its effectiveness.
So customers usually had to queue up for reservations. Once a reservation was successful, the seller would contact the customer to confirm the saliva pick-up time.
Chen Fan checked that there was only one Cold Pond Golden Horned Jiao Dragon in the entire East Sea City.
The owner of the Cold Pond Golden Horned Jiao Dragon was named Li Fengxing, a student of Celestial Academy.
The Li Family in East Sea City also seemed to be a big family with a profound background.
As a result, Li Fengxing rarely used the saliva of the Cold Pond Golden Horned Jiao Dragon to make money. Most people who needed the saliva had to offer a large sum of money to go to his door for it, and only then would he agree.
“Offering a large sum of money to go to his door…”
Chen Fan stroked his chin.
It’s just a bit of saliva, no matter how expensive it is, it wouldn’t be too outrageous.
Chen Fan didn’t really care how much it would cost.
However, since Li Fengxing had such a high-profile attitude and he was a War God Academy student, it was unclear if the other party would be willing to sell the saliva to him.
Chen Fan typed a piece of information on Qiandu…
Celestial Academy, Li Fengxing.
Then, his eyes widened in astonishment, and he cursed, “Shit!”
It turned out that this Li Fengxing, who owned the “Cold Pond Golden Horned Jiao Dragon, ” was one of the two great geniuses who ranked alongside Bai Ruge at Celestial Academy!
He was the one Li Sheng was talking about, who challenged Chu Xuan a while ago and was beaten up by Chu Xuan and had to be hospitalized!
Right now, Li Fengxing might still be in the hospital!
Things were getting troublesome…
He didn’t know if Chu Xuan had crippled their “Cold Pond Golden Horned Jiao Dragon.”
If it was crippled, they might not be able to obtain its saliva in the near future.
Even if it wasn’t crippled, Li Fengxing might not want to do business with someone from War God Academy, right? This Chu Xuan guy ruined my plans!
Suddenly…
An image of Bai Ruge flashed in Chen Fan’s mind.
This Junior Niece was also from Celestial Academy, and she was one of the two great geniuses who ranked alongside Li Fengxing.
If Bai Ruge could be asked to help, obtaining the saliva of the “Cold Pond Golden Horned Jiao Dragon” should be possible.
However, Chen Fan didn’t really like this imperious Junior Niece.
Moreover, if he went to find her now, Bai Ruge might not even pay attention to him.
Unless he asked Master Old Man for help…
“Forget it. Let’s wait a few days and see,” Chen Fan sighed helplessly, temporarily putting aside the matter of raising Snowy’s Combat Power Level. After all, raising its Species Level would also significantly increase Snowy’s strength.
In the meantime, he could help Snowy improve its Species Level, and who knew, he might even be able to help it evolve into a “Phantom Thunder Cat” or awaken a powerful species skill!
Moreover, considering the issue of teamwork in battles, it was necessary to increase Gangzi and Feicui’s combat power levels to match Snowy’s as soon as possible.
Chen Fan calculated the costs; if he didn’t have to spend on upgrading Snowy’s combat power level in the next few days, 160,000 union coins would be enough to boost the species rank of the little fellows by two levels and increase the combat power levels of Feicui and Gangzi to 4.
However, he would still need more money, a lot more.
The higher their levels, the more money they would need in the future. It seemed he would have to find some work at the Beast Trainer Association to earn some money.
Even helping others with their beast-raising issues wasn’t a big problem, just like when he treated the Three-Tailed Fox and other Guardian Beasts before. He could offer a solution and attach Master Zhang Hai’s name to it. That would be enough.
Who would dare to question Zhang Hai?
It was said earlier that the old man was from the strongest beast-raising family in Tang Country!
He was a renowned Beast Raising Master!
After all, if the Beast Trainer Association provided a Flying Guardian Beast, running back and forth wouldn’t be too tiring.
It was nice to have a big tree to enjoy the shade…
With this master supporting him, many worrisome and troublesome situations were easily resolved.
And at an organization like the Beast Trainer Association, business would never be scarce. There was no need for any promotion at all.
With that in mind, Chen Fan found the items prompted in the System, then added them one by one to the shopping cart.
He placed the order and paid.
All that was left was to wait for the delivery tomorrow.
After doing all this, Chen Fan gently stroked Snowy’s head and said, “It’s getting late, little guys. Let’s go back to sleep.”
Snowy rubbed its head against Chen Fan’s hand and nodded.
Gangzi sensibly dragged the quilt back and put it away before returning.
Chen Fan thought for a moment and sent the three little fellows into the Beastmaster’s Space.
Then, he sat down cross-legged on the chair.
Helping Snowy and the others improve wasn’t too difficult.
Even if some materials were hard to collect, it was just a matter of time.
However, Chen Fan’s own cultivation had to be carried out step by step.
Guardian Beasts could only provide him with a vast amount of Star Power and soul power, but couldn’t help him open his meridians and apertures.
Chen Fan was now at the First Rank, First Layer Heaven.
The First Rank required opening eight meridians.
The Second Rank required connecting the Nine Apertures.
To break through from the First Rank realm to the Second Rank Realm, he needed to connect the Nine Apertures and cultivate Qi vortexes on each of them to communicate with the Star Sea.
Once he succeeded in connecting the Nine Apertures, he would reach the First Rank, Five Heavens realm.
At that time, the spiritual array map would be constructed by connecting the Nine Apertures and centering on the Star Sea, enabling him to break through to the Second Rank Realm in one fell swoop.
Chen Fan sat cross-legged on the chair, opened the “computer” on his wrist and began reading the basic cultivation methods of War God Academy in detail.
The basic cultivation method also had a human acupoint map.
Seven Yang Apertures and Two Yin Apertures.
The Nine Apertures were like nine stars scattered across nine positions on the human body.
Only by opening the Nine Apertures could one smoothly absorb the Star Power between heaven and earth, and use Star Power to temper the body, strengthen the bones, and truly become a powerful Guardian Beastmaster.
It was only after opening a certain number of apertures that one could condense Star Power into fierce beasts like dragons, tigers, and various shields without relying on external objects.
For those who had opened the Nine Apertures, it would be difficult to distinguish between their corpses!
Once they took action, the sound of thunder would roll through their muscles and bones!
At this moment, Chen Fan thought of Chu Xuan again.
He was only at the First Rank, First Layer Heaven, so it would be difficult for him to condense Star Power into dragons, tigers, and fierce beasts without relying on the long knife he had bought previously.
However, Chu Xuan was already at the First Rank, Fifth Layer Heaven, and it was very likely that he had already opened the Nine Apertures.
Therefore, on the way back to school, Chen Fan saw Chu Xuan use his sword to cut off the pillar supporting the big sign.
And the first time he met Chu Xuan, Chu Xuan tried to intimidate the “Ant
Queen” by displaying his domineering aura, which left everyone in awe and confusion.
“The first aperture is located between the eyebrows…”
Chen Fan quietly memorized the locations of the apertures and the corresponding chants and routes, then closed his eyes, trying to sense the aperture between his brows.
Apertures could only be sensed through soul power.
With three Guardian Beasts, not only did his Star Power increase rapidly, but his soul power also grew stronger.
However, Chen Fan’s soul power was still too weak to be as tangible and controllable as Star Power.
But the Beastmaster’s Space was based on soul power, so the enhancement of soul power would be reflected in the space.
Chen Fan could clearly feel the robustness of his Beastmaster’s Space.
After Snowy’s combat power level was raised to 4, he could even see that the size of the Beastmaster’s Space had significantly expanded.
It seemed that the more Guardian Beasts he signed and the higher their levels, the more the Beastmaster’s Space would expand outwards.
“Between the brows, there is an aperture…”
Chen Fan discarded the distracting thoughts about the Beastmaster’s Space in his mind, and silently sensed the location.
It felt as if he was in a dim and dark space, and the area around him was void.
But faintly, there seemed to be a strange force surging ahead.
Chen Fan didn’t rush but focused on gathering his energy, clearing his mind.
Suddenly…
In the dark and void space, a little bit of light began to appear.
An aperture like a galaxy vortex appeared in his “line of sight”!
He saw it!
The first aperture!
Chen Fan focused and gathered his energy, driving Star Power along his meridians, converging it towards the first aperture…
Like a river flowing into the sea!
The vast Star Power was absorbed into the aperture, disappearing instantly!
However, after absorbing the vast amount of Star Power, the galaxy-like aperture became even brighter!
It still wasn’t enough..
There wasn’t enough Star Power!
With a thought, the Star Power in Chen Fan’s Star Sea surged like a flood, pouring into that aperture!
“Boom!”
Stars twinkled in the sky.
The first aperture was opened instantly!
Chen Fan felt his whole body relaxed!
