Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand

Chapter 537: Chapter 329: Restarting the Celestial Realm Mountain Negotiations

Upon hearing these words, Bai Ling wept uncontrollably.

The old gentleman was her only hope.

What he said equated to sentencing the Calamity-Devouring Beast to death.

"I can give you a potion to preserve its body," the old gentleman said.

Bai Ling continued to cry, now a figure drenched in tears.

After speaking, the old gentleman walked into the back of the medical hall, with Lin Chen following and asking, "Old sir, pardon my intrusion."

"If you have questions, go ahead and ask," the old gentleman said.

"Bai Ling’s first life was calculated and resolved by you. I wish to know how her future will be?"

"The dilemma is resolved, the fate untangled; her future will be very ordinary," the old gentleman said.

Hearing this, Lin Chen felt neither joy nor sorrow.

What the old gentleman implied was that misfortune would no longer plague Bai Ling, but neither would she have a Celestial Destiny Body.

"Many things in this world are balanced, don’t you think, young man?" the old gentleman remarked, casting a meaningful glance at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen was momentarily stunned and asked, "Old sir, what do you mean by this?"

"Nothing much," the old gentleman said. "Your strike in Eight Trigrams City was remarkable."

Lin Chen’s pupils dilated. How could the old gentleman, residing in the wilderness of South City, know about what happened in Eight Trigrams City?

Could it be that destinies truly exist in this world?

At that moment, Lin Chen found himself questioning his existence, while the old gentleman raised a potion and said, "You may return. Bai Ling will be fine with me. This girl... I’ve watched her grow up."

"Then I’m in your debt, old sir."

Lin Chen cupped his hands.

Finally, he left with Zhang Jin.

Once they were some distance away, Lin Chen asked Zhang Jin, "What do you think of him?"

"He is unfathomable."

Zhang Jin shook his head.

Lin Chen looked at the Tree Ancestor, who also said, "They say the truly hidden blend into the world. This might be the case."

Lin Chen was astonished.

It seems the saying that the masters are among the people is true.

And just after they left, the old gentleman came out to the living room, seeing Bai Ling still crying there, and said, "Little girl, stop crying."

"Old sir, is there really no hope?"

"A normal Spirit Beast certainly can’t be saved," the old gentleman said.

Bai Ling suddenly looked up at this moment, her pupils bright, and looked at the old gentleman with surprise, "Old sir, you mean...."

"Do not be excited," the old gentleman said. "In the past, I had you contract a Calamity-Devouring Beast to avoid disasters. Now... indeed, it has devoured your disaster."

"But it has also swallowed your luck."

"In such circumstances, it is very likely that its soul is still in the Ancestor Dragon’s domain."

"Then how do I go to the Ancestor Dragon’s domain to find Xiu Xiu?" Bai Ling asked.

"First, you need to become stronger," the old gentleman said.

"Str... stronger?"

Bai Ling looked at herself, then forced a bitter smile, "I am even less than before."

"Do you still wish to rescue your Spirit Beast?"

"Of course, of course I do," Bai Ling’s eyes were firm, "For it, I can give up everything."

"You don’t need to sacrifice everything," the old gentleman said with a grin, "Silly girl, since this matter also involves me, you should acknowledge me as your master in the coming days, and I will teach you to become stronger."

Bai Ling immediately fell to one knee to prepare to bow.

Unexpectedly, the old gentleman said again, "However, do not tell anyone about acknowledging me as your master, including Lin Chen and them."

"Old sir, Lin Chen and they are my friends; they have helped me many times," Bai Ling said.

"This is our agreement," the old gentleman said. "Independent of others."

Bai Ling thought for a moment, glanced at the Calamity-Devouring Beast, and finally said, "Okay."

Only then did the old gentleman nod slightly, saying again, "It’s not that they are not good, actually, it’s fine to tell them. It’s just that as your master, I’m a rural person and do not want to be involved in worldly affairs."

"Most of your friends are entangled with worldly matters, and once I come into contact, I won’t be able to escape this fate either."

"So, remember this well."

"I will obey your instructions, master."

Bai Ling cupped her hands, earnestly giving a kowtow.

.....

Lin Chen returned to the City Lord’s Mansion, and that night Chen Ming came to him, indeed to discuss matters of the Monster Hunter Guild.

Given Lin Chen’s current capabilities, it was not enough to assume a position in the Monster Hunter Guild.

However, with Qin Shaoshao’s involvement, and considering Lin Chen’s innate talent, others would not oppose it.

After all, Lin Chen’s future is boundless, a topic beyond doubt.

"So that’s settled," Chen Ming said. "In the future, you will assume the position of Vice President of the Southern Monster Hunter Guild, managing the Monster Hunter Guild in the eastern region centered on Jiuxing City."

"Alright."

Lin Chen nodded.

"But now it is wartime, and we cannot yet confront Dubhe Pavilion," Chen Ming said. "We must wait for the end of the war."

"When does the President estimate the war will end?" Lin Chen asked.

"Soon," Chen Ming said. "Both the Human Race and the Demon Race are tired of war. This is the dawn of peace."

That night, Lin Chen was assigned a residence, and finally, he could have some quietness.

Since the war, Lin Chen had rarely been as peaceful as he was today.

Especially with Bai Ling being so severely hit, it stirred waves in Lin Chen’s heart.

Ultimately, it was still a matter of insufficient strength.

Lin Chen summoned Xiaobai and said, "Let’s start the bloodline purification."

Xiaobai nodded.

The Calamity-Devouring Beast once had a close relationship with Xiaobai. This time, after witnessing the departure of the Calamity-Devouring Beast, Xiaobai and these little fellows were downhearted for quite some time.

However, no one was as heartbroken as Bai Ling, and these little ones could not solve the problem by coming out either.

That night, Lin Chen used the Bloodline Golden Hand to bestow bloodlines upon Xiaobai.

Now Xiaobai’s data is: [Hidden Bloodline: 28.65%]

This time, Lin Chen had no other gains from the Beast Tide, but a heap of bloodlines, truly abundant in bloodlines.

But as Xiaobai and others grew, they became more selective about the bloodlines.

Lin Chen compared numerous data and eventually found a suitable bloodline:

[Poison Crow Beast]

[Divine Beast]

[Hidden Bloodline: 40%]

[Conversion Efficiency: 50%]

According to estimates, this time Xiaobai’s hidden bloodline purification could reach a value of 20%.

After the purity enhancement was complete, Xiaobai’s bloodline reached 48.65%.

It was enough to aspire for the Divine Beast level.

Perhaps due to the blow of the Calamity-Devouring Beast’s departure, Xiaobai did not experience as much pain as expected this time; it quickly calmed down and fell into slumber.

Meanwhile, on the same day, explosive news broke out.

The upper echelons of the Human Race and Demon Race re-engaged, launching the third meeting at Celestial Realm Mountain.

Although this news was not surprising, unexpectedly, changes reoccurred throughout the country.

First, in the South, Chen Ming solemnly sent a message to the Celestial Capital.

"This time, the negotiations cannot involve only people from the Celestial Capital."

"The Cangling Ancient Country belongs not only to the Celestial Capital but to all its people."
