CHAPTER 73: CHAPTER 73: IMMORTAL BEAST: TAIXU PRISON OX

On the second day, Lin Chen got up very early and was very much looking forward to this expert consultation.

Although Xiaobai has now surpassed most of the Plowhorn Beasts, Master often holds a devout heart.

Lee Zhen told him that this expert has been deeply involved in the field of ox-type Spirit Beasts for many years, and many people have consulted him.

"When you see the expert later, show a positive attitude and let him know you are a good ox."

"Experts generally appreciate a good attitude, humble."

Lin Chen explained briefly, planning to leave a good impression on him and strive to learn more knowledge points.

Xiaobai patted his chest, indicating he understood.

The little fox squinted its eyes and asked what it should do.

"He’s not here to see foxes, so do what you want, just don’t cause trouble."

"Goo~~"

The little fox pouted.

Really wants to contract with Lin Chen, so it can become stronger faster.

Right now, it can’t even see Xiaobai’s ox tail.

It also wants to battle for the Beastmaster and become an unparalleled Divine Fox!

Bam~~~

Suddenly, the door was pushed open forcefully, and the little fox was startled, directly hiding behind Xiaobai’s tail, causing Lin Chen and Xiaobai to laugh.

Hum~~

They’re laughing at my timidity again!

The little fox was frustrated.

Lin Chen picked it up, placed it on his shoulder, and said, "It’s okay, Xiao Hong will also become very strong in the future, just like Xiaobai."

Walking in, Lee Zhen, unaware of what happened, just said, "Don’t brainwash here, it’s almost time for the appointment, let’s go now."

"Chairman Lee, about my..."

For once, Lee Zhen interrupted preemptively and said:

"No misunderstanding."

"..."

....

Stepping outside, Lin Chen did indeed see many Plowhorn Beasts, and Xiaobai was quite happy to see so many kindred.

There were also Spirit Transformation level Spirit Beasts like the commonly seen Earth-Sounding Ox, which mostly evolved from Plowhorn Beasts.

Contracting with higher quality Spirit Beasts has many benefits, besides basic strength, it also allows for more evolution plans.

For example, the Earth-Sounding Ox has an opportunity to evolve at Level 20, and if it fails, there’s another chance at Level 40.

However, with higher quality Spirit Beasts, the success rate of evolving at low levels is relatively low.

Walking through streets and alleys, Lee Zhen sighed, "In the past, our Jiuxing City was not weaker than it is now, but times have changed, and the Divine Fox has declined."

Lee Zhen was not "stirring up trouble without cause," but was stating the reality.

If the Nine-Star Divine Fox bloodline remained strong, Jiuxing City’s status wouldn’t be so low.

Now, the Nine-Star Divine Fox’s tail count is too low, reaching six tails is extremely difficult.

Additionally, most Spirit Beasts of the Divine Fox type are either Spiritual System or Pure Support, making fewer people contract them.

The capital in this world is profit-driven, and the Divine Fox cannot serve as a dream-weaving tool, so Jiuxing City’s status has plunged rapidly.

But even a dying camel is bigger than a horse; the once Immortal Level Nine-Star Divine Fox once dominated all directions and was renamed from Spirit Fox to Divine Fox, up until now.

"Little fox, revitalizing the light of the Divine Fox depends on you."

Saying this, Lee Zhen looked at Xiao Hong and said this.

Upon hearing this, the little fox immediately felt immense pressure, a weight on its shoulders.

Lin Chen rolled his eyes and said, "Chairman, when it comes to brainwashing skills, it has to be you, worthy of being a leader."

"...."

Lee Zhen also rolled his eyes.

Holds a grudge, it was just that I interrupted him once...

Making small talk, they arrived at the Tai Niu Institute, but they didn’t see Xu Youzhen; instead, they saw a fair-skinned girl, not stunningly beautiful, but pleasant to look at.

The girl was holding a brush, grooming the Plowhorn Beast beside her, soothingly saying:

"Alright, alright, soon, if you don’t bathe with all this dirt, don’t come to my bed tonight."

"Be good, it’s almost done."

Hearing footsteps, the girl looked up and saw Lee Zhen and Lin Chen, put down the brush in her hand, and said politely, "Hello, are you here to see my teacher?"

"Yes." Lee Zhen and Lin Chen cupped their hands, the former said, "It seems the excellent student he mentioned is you."

"The student’s aptitude is ordinary, all thanks to the teacher’s love." The girl politely introduced her name, Jiang Yue.

"The teacher is probably in the laboratory again, you can wait a moment, after washing the Plowhorn Beast, I can take you there, or if you’re in a hurry, I can tell you the directions first." Jiang Yue saw Xiaobai...

The first feeling was:

What a clean Plowhorn Beast.

Jiang Yue has a unique fondness for oxen, possibly because she’s a Taurus.

While other girls chose cute Spirit Beasts, she chose the Plowhorn Beast as her first choice.

For this, she was often teased by her girlfriends, but she didn’t mind at all; in her view, everything about the Plowhorn Beast is good, except it doesn’t like cleanliness.

So, seeing Xiaobai so clean, she felt quite a contrast.

Lee Zhen shook his head and said not to hurry, then sat down. Instead, Jiang Yue used this as a topic to chat with Lin Chen, after all, they are all Beastmasters of Plowhorn Beasts and can exchange experiences and tips.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yue’s first topic was:

"Do you often help him bathe? How often, every few days? I see it so clean, you must wash it every three days."

"My Plowhorn Beast doesn’t like to bathe, even once a month, I have to scold it every time."

"Do you have any tips?"

"...."

Lin Chen was silent.

Xiaobai was also silent.

The former was silent because the exchange he was looking forward to was this kind of exchange.

Niu Niu was silent because there was an ox that could go a month without bathing.

Don’t mention bathing every three days, Xiaobai feels uncomfortable even if it doesn’t bathe for a day.

Lee Zhen watching them, he couldn’t help but laugh, reminiscent of when he was a rookie Beastmaster, it was the same.

Young people, full of vigor, talking to anyone they meet.

After waiting for almost ten minutes, she finished washing and took them into the Tai Niu Institute.

The Tai Niu Institute was quite large, with a huge square in the middle, roughly the size of ten football fields, quite exaggerated.

In the center of the square stood a gigantic golden ox, with the three large characters of the Tai Niu Institute engraved on it.

"This is the Taixu Prison Ox statue," Jiang Yue introduced.

Lin Chen looked up and glanced; he had looked it up in books.

The Taixu Prison Ox was also an Immortal Beast Level breed; unfortunately, records of the Taixu Prison Ox only remain from the Late Taichu, and now time has passed so long that many people don’t even remember it.

The reason the Nine-Tailed Divine Fox could shock all directions is that the Nine-Tailed Divine Fox appeared after the Celestial Beast Era.

It is rumored that the Taixu Prison Ox has a dark body, formidable attack power, and horns capable of breaking all things.

The name Tai Niu Institute was also derived from this.

This made Lin Chen deeply ponder...

Xiaobai’s body used to be quite black, now it seems to be getting more "green"...

It’s certainly unrelated to the Taixu Prison Ox in the future.

Lin Chen just thought about this, quickly shook his head.

Now Xiaobai isn’t even Spirit Transformation level, thinking about other things is too farfetched.

Better focus on completing the first evolution first.

As for Immortal Beasts, they are an unattainable existence.

As for Xiaobai, it doesn’t understand anything about the Taixu Prison Ox, it is only curious:

Does this kind of ox like to bathe?

Xiaobai is very afraid of being unconventional, being the unique ox; it hopes to find a second ox like itself.

....

"Teacher, your guests have arrived."

Jiang Yue entered the laboratory and shouted loudly.

Upon hearing the voice, Xu Youzhen came out, saw Lee Zhen, smiled, and pointed at Xiaobai, saying, "Is this the genius you mentioned? Haha, let me take a good look."

Lee Zhen nodded.

Xu Youzhen immediately widened his eyes, circling around Xiaobai, his eyes seemingly able to see through everything.

Xiaobai was feeling a bit nervous from the stare, Lin Chen kindly comforted it.

"It’s a bit special, but not that impressive, the horns are too small, the skin isn’t black..." Xu Youzhen commented while observing, finally concluding, "Some metamorphosis, possibly benefited from a mutation, might be strong now, but its future heights are limited."
