CHAPTER 168: CHAPTER 147: LITTLE PIXIU, FAME SOARS_2

The Spiritual Turtle, which had originally monopolized the Spiritual Liquid, let out a dissatisfied roar. After several unsuccessful attempts to break the barrier, it looked dejected; its home was gone.

Looking at the turtle, which had now reached the Returning to Void Cultivation level, Chen Jiuge sighed and said, "Who would have thought this Spiritual Turtle was so fortunate? It possesses the highest Cultivation here. With the help of the small lake of Spiritual Liquid, it even managed to break through the limits of its Bloodline and reach Returning to Void."

After placing various Spirit Plants down, Chen Jiuge, who wasn’t a Spiritual Plant Master, did not know how to proceed.

"Let’s just leave it like this for now. My senior sister is a Spiritual Plant Master; I’ll have her take a look when she arrives," Chen Jiuge said, somewhat dissatisfied as he looked at the messy array of Spirit Plants.

「Three days later...」

His senior sister had resolved Li He’s issue and arrived at Eden Garden with Li SuiFeng, the Second Elder of Hundred Herbs Peak.

"So, you are Chen Jiuge. I didn’t expect someone so young to become a Master Beast Breeder, tsk tsk tsk. Old Wen is really lucky," Li SuiFeng said, looking at Chen Jiuge enviously. "Hundred Herbs Peak consists mostly of Spiritual Plant Masters; we don’t even have a truly capable Beast Breeder. Yet, surprisingly, Wen Tianming’s new young apprentice became a Master Beast Breeder in just a few hundred years. Moreover, Wen Tianming is still in seclusion and hasn’t taught him much of anything. It really makes one envious!"

"Second Elder, you’re too kind," Chen Jiuge said modestly.

"Young people should be spirited. Alright, enough talk. Give me the two small Secret Realm cores you want to integrate. I’ll handle them first, and then we have other things to discuss."

"Thank you, Second Elder," Chen Jiuge respectfully handed over the two small Secret Realm cores.

"The Grade of these is quite ordinary," Li SuiFeng remarked after a brief inspection. "Compared to your Eden Garden, their quality is much worse. I see the Spiritual Beasts in that part of your Eden Garden are mostly ingredients for Spirit Food. How about we integrate these realms there?"

"I also had this idea," Chen Jiuge admitted.

"Lucky you’re not asking me to remodel everything. Your Eden Garden has had several Golden Immortals work on it; I definitely couldn’t handle that. Of course, small-scale integration of Secret Realms is no problem," Li SuiFeng said self-deprecatingly.

As the Second Elder of Hundred Herbs Peak, Li SuiFeng was, of course, aware of the actions of the Sect Master and the Great Elder—two Golden Immortal Spiritual Beasts—and had secretly relished the drama for a long time.

As Li SuiFeng stripped away the Laws of the Hundred Games Realm and transformed them into Laws fit for the Heavenly Realm, the original small Secret Realms shrank nearly tenfold. After integration, they only increased the size of Eden Garden by less than one percent.

Chen Jiuge watched this whole operation in amazement.

"Curious, aren’t you?" Li SuiFeng said cheerily. "The Hundred Games Realm is merely one of the Great Thousand Worlds. Retaining this much is already very good. At least the quality of these two small Secret Realms is still acceptable."

"Alright, next up is Spirit Beast Breeding," Li SuiFeng said as he released a Spiritual Beast.

A Pixiu? Chen Jiuge looked in shock at the small creature before him.

Pixiu: It has a dragon’s head, a horse’s body, and qilin feet. Resembling a lion, its fur is grayish-white. It is capable of swallowing all things without expelling them and possesses the ability to attract wealth from all directions.

"How about it? My little Pixiu’s Bloodline is somewhat lacking. I want you to purify its Bloodline. I also know about the incident with Silver Flower Golden Immortal. Is it possible?" Li SuiFeng asked, gently petting the small Pixiu.

Chen Jiuge hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement. Compared to a true Pixiu, the Bloodline of this one, with its reddish fur, is indeed much inferior. A true Pixiu’s fur is entirely grayish-white.

Li SuiFeng, seeing Chen Jiuge nod, felt quite pleased and asked, "What spiritual materials do you require?"

"I don’t need any spiritual materials. This is part of my Innate Divine Ability. I hope the Elder doesn’t divulge this," Chen Jiuge said hesitantly.

"Don’t worry, I can swear an oath right now," Li SuiFeng immediately made a Heavenly Dao Oath.

Before Chen Jiuge could stop him, he swallowed nervously. Was it too much to ask a Heavenly Immortal Elder to take a Heavenly Dao Oath?

Thinking too much about it was pointless. Chen Jiuge immediately used the Golden Finger to check the condition of the little Pixiu’s Bloodline.

HISS! Good heavens, so many Fire Attribute Divine Beast Bloodlines! I wonder which great deities were this little one’s parents? The fire content in this Bloodline is exceptionally high!

After completing the inspection, Chen Jiuge said to Li SuiFeng, "Second Elder, I have two options."

"First, I can remove some of the Fire Attribute Divine Beast Bloodlines from the little Pixiu’s body. This could also elevate the purity of its Bloodline."

"Second, we could let its Bloodline devour other Fire Attribute Divine Beast Bloodlines. However, I’m not sure whether this change will be good or bad."

Li SuiFeng hesitated and then asked, "Are there significant side effects to this devouring?"

While Chen Jiuge had not yet encountered a situation where Bloodline Devouring led to deterioration, he still urged caution, "In the vast majority of cases, it’s beneficial and will strengthen its own Bloodline. However, there is a high probability that it could cause a mutation. As for whether this mutation is good or bad, I can’t be certain."

Li SuiFeng pondered for a long time, finally looking at the little Pixiu and asked, "Little Treasure, tell Grandpa, which one do you choose?"

The bashful little Pixiu glanced at his grandpa and then said in a childlike voice, "I choose the second one. I want to become stronger. I want to find my father and mother."

Li SuiFeng’s spirit dimmed upon hearing this, but he respected the little Pixiu’s choice.

"Let’s go with the second option."

Chen Jiuge caught on to some of the underlying details. This little Pixiu seemed to be Li SuiFeng’s grandson.

Now that the option was selected, what followed was straightforward. With the assistance of the Golden Finger, the little Pixiu successfully devoured the Fire Attribute Divine Beast Bloodlines within it and completed its transformation.
