Beast Taming: Invincible Breeder-Chapter 175 - 150: Island Survival

Chapter 175: Chapter 150: Island Survival
Li Cunxu approached, and the Holy Lotus Carp, who was doing sit-ups, heard the noise, stopped, and turned to look. Its eyes were clear yet foolish, as if saying, "How can there be a person in the Holy Lotus Pool, and why is this person looking at me?"
This self-disciplined Holy Lotus Carp was so immersed in its training that it didn’t notice Li Cunxu’s arrival or the noise just now.
Huh! This person’s eyes are so strange, they are red.
"Little guy, do you want to be my pet beast?"
Make me your pet beast?
Of course not, I’m busy getting stronger for revenge, I don’t have the mind to be someone’s pet beast.
Just as he was about to shake his head, the voice of the ancestor sounded in his mind.
"Promise him! With your efforts alone, hope is slim. If he helps you, you have some hope of successful revenge."
The Holy Lotus Carp responded in its heart, "Ancestor, can you let me communicate with him?"
The Hidden King established a mental connection between the Holy Lotus Carp and Li Cunxu.
The Holy Lotus Carp said, "The Blood God Divine Son is the enemy who killed my father and mother. In this life, I will not rest until I’m dead or he is. Can you help me?"
"Yes."
The mental connection established by the Hidden King allowed not only for conversation but also for feeling each other’s emotions.
Feeling Li Cunxu’s sincerity, the Holy Lotus Carp remained silent.
"Contracting with me will make you an enemy of the Blood God Divine Son. You might want to reconsider." The Holy Lotus Carp thought of itself as a burden, suggesting that contracting with it would drag Li Cunxu down.
"No need to reconsider. Even if I don’t contract with you, if the Blood God Divine Son sees me, will he spare me? The Blood God Divine Son is not only your enemy; he is the enemy of all humanity." Li Cunxu paused, "My Blood Lotus Eye has a pupil technique called Burning Lotus Blood Fire, which is particularly effective against blood demons, these blood-drenched followers of the Blood God. Are you sure you want to miss the chance to transform into a Blood Lotus Carp?"
"Can Burning Lotus Blood Fire counter the Blood God Divine Son?"
"Not sure, but I think it should be able to in the future. After all, blood demons and the Blood God Divine Son are enemies of the same type. It’s just that the Blood God Divine Son is much more advanced than a blood demon."
Thus, Li Cunxu successfully contracted with this disciplined Holy Lotus Carp.
Li Cunxu struggled to think of a name, and after a long deliberation, he finally came up with something.
"Couldn’t think of a nice name, how about ’Blood Lotus’?"
The Holy Lotus Carp had no objection; it wasn’t concerned with names, so any name would do. It continued doing sit-ups.
The transformation of the Holy Lotus Carp into the Blood Lotus Carp would take several days.
During these days, Li Cunxu stayed temporarily in Li Anle’s small courtyard. Every day, elders would find excuses to come over for a chat and, upon leaving, would give Li Cunxu a lot of precious resources.
Li Cunxu drank the Azure God Tea sent by Li Shiji, but his spiritual power was still lacking just a bit.
Li Shiji only sensed that Li Cunxu’s spiritual power was still some distance from perfection, unaware that Li Cunxu’s meditation method was the Vast Ocean Meditation, a method with a side effect of expanding the spiritual sea tenfold.
This little bit would take Li Cunxu at least half a month to cultivate by himself.
"Still have to rely on the pet beast’s feedback!"
In September, Xiaoruan’s tax feedback had been absorbed. If he had to wait, it would mean waiting until next month.
Depending on Xiaoruan, won’t work.
Li Cunxu turned to Xiaobai the Spider, speaking seriously, "I think your spiritual power should get stronger."
Every day, Xiaobai the Spider had a large amount of fate points credited, all brought by the Spirit Crystal.
The development momentum of Spirit Crystals was very strong, almost entirely replacing Spiritual Food in the junior Beast Master market.
Spirit Crystals are cheap and easy to store.
Spiritual Food is expensive and not easy to store.
Which to choose? Everyone knew.
This also led to many new generation beast feeders being unwilling to learn the art of Spiritual Food, knowing it would be eliminated, so why learn it? They turned to learning how to make Spirit Crystals.
No matter how the older generation of feeders persuaded, very few were willing to continue learning the art of Spiritual Food.
Even those who did learn were just going through the motions.
Despite having many fate points, Xiaobai the Spider’s strength hadn’t changed much. Its previous fate points were focused on improving learning ability, memory, and understanding.
"What’s up?" Xiaobai the Spider asked.
"There’s a tiny bit more spiritual power needed, I need your feedback."
"Sure, but you’ll have to wait a few days, the previously accumulated fate points have all been used up."
In the blink of an eye, a few days passed. Instead of waiting for Xiaobai the Spider’s spiritual power feedback, the Blood Lotus Carp’s transformation was successful.
[Pet Beast]: Blood Lotus Carp
[Attributes]: Holy, Dragon
[Level]: Black Iron Level 4
[Talent]: Blood Lotus Pattern (Purple)
[Status]: Healthy
[Skills]: Constant Light Armor, Blood-sucking Lotus Seal.
[Potential]: Low-level King
[Introduction]: The world’s first Blood Lotus Carp.
[Blood Lotus Pattern]: Purple Epic, each time blood is sucked, a Blood Lotus Pattern is added. The Blood Lotus Pattern can enhance the recovery of injuries, with one Blood Lotus Pattern increasing it by 10%, two increasing it by 20%...
[Blood-sucking Lotus Seal]: A racial skill exclusive to the Blood Lotus Carp, a growth technique that imprints the Blood-sucking Lotus Seal on the enemy, continuously absorbing blood from remotely. The absorbed blood can quickly burn, healing its own injuries.
"A Blood Lotus Pattern talent plus the Blood-sucking Lotus Seal skill; the Blood Lotus Carp is going to become an undying blood cow!" Li Cunxu exclaimed.
"Gwaa~ (It’s been several days, why haven’t you used the Divine Bestowal on the Blood Lotus.)" the secretive crow asked.
"There’s some activity, and this isn’t our territory."
Li Shiji, hearing of the successful transformation of the Blood Lotus Carp, came over to take a look.
He was very pleased with the Blood Lotus Carp’s talent and exclusive skills.
Before he left, Li Shiji asked, "Island survival, live broadcast, establishing a stronghold, are you interested?"
Li Cunxu hesitated, "Can I ask what it’s about?"
"It’s nothing much. The Tongdu Alliance wants to host a reality show with the theme of island survival, inviting Silver-level Beast Masters from the top ten families to participate. No one in the family is interested, so the spots aren’t filled. If you’re interested, you can join for fun."
An island survival reality show?
In his previous life, Li Cunxu had never heard of it.
"Isn’t it dangerous?"
"There are dangers, but not high ones. The alliance has already cleared the island of dangers. Only a few Gold-level pet beasts remain, but as long as you don’t provoke them, they won’t leave their territories to attack you."
Li Shiji added, "Oh, and if you survive on the island for a hundred days, that island becomes yours."
"The alliance is offering such a generous reward for a reality show!" Li Cunxu exclaimed in shock.
Owning an island means that the sea area within a five-kilometer radius also belongs to the island owner.
Li Cunxu asked, "What if everyone survives on the island for a hundred days?"
Li Shiji said, "It’s not a group of people surviving on one island; it’s everyone on separate islands."
"Are the islands big?"
"Big, even the smallest is as large as half of Tongdu."
Li Cunxu gasped. Even if each of the top ten families sent a person, as long as the conditions were met, the Tongdu Alliance would have to give away ten islands.
Wait, does Tongdu have islands?
Tongdu isn’t a coastal city; there’s still some distance to the ocean. Where does it have islands to give away?
"Grandpa, where are the islands on the map?"
