Celestial Beast Taming

Before leaving the Ghost Suppression Bureau, Zhong Yi spoke very seriously to Wen Tao and Lin Zhuo.

"Brother Tao, Sister Zhuo, if you need High Level Potions in the future, just go find Grandmaster Tao En."

"Grandmaster Tao En has been wanting to concoct more Sixth Level Potions recently to enhance and stabilize the acuity of his soul."

"Even if Grandmaster Tao En is busy, the potions you need will definitely be concocted as quickly as possible!"

With Tao En’s return from Longya City, the grudge between him and Cao Xing’an was finally settled.

Under the effects of the Soul Nourishing Gu Mother’s Exclusive Trait, Insect Soul Nourishment, Cao Xing’an, a Five-finger Peak Creator, would become a Six-finger Early Tier Creator at the very least.

It wasn’t even out of the question that he could become a Six-finger Middle Tier Creator, just like Tao En.

From now on, Zhong Yi would keep Cao Xing’an—controlled by the Treasure Guarding Dragon Pot through its Skill, Pot-Born Illusion Body—inside his Soul Base.

He would help manage the Guardian Beasts being raised in the Soul Base.

While inside Zhong Yi’s Soul Base, besides helping Zhong Yi nurture and strengthen the Guardian Beasts, Cao Xing’an could also act like a tireless machine, taking on the task of concocting Sixth Level Potions for the members of Soul Soil.

This meant Zhong Yi now possessed high-end Creator resources equivalent to those controlled by the Dragon Emperor.

Even the Dragon Emperor, head of the Xin Xia Federation’s Three Emperors, only had two Six-finger Creators by his side.

And those two Six-finger Creators could never be as devoted to the Dragon Emperor as Tao En and the controlled Cao Xing’an were to him.

With two Six-finger Creators working for him continuously, all the members of Soul Soil would enter a period of rapid development.

After returning to his residence, Zhong Yi didn’t rush to cultivate the Resurrection Celestial Lord.

Zhong Yi had recently cultivated four Guardian Beasts in a row, and he had less than 240 milliliters of Flowing Soul Soil left.

Zhong Yi was worried this amount of Flowing Soul Soil wouldn’t be enough for the Resurrection Celestial Lord’s Tier promotion.

Besides the remaining Flowing Soul Soil, Zhong Yi now had two new Soul Taming Seeds.

Unfortunately, the Secret Realms opened by the Wanyu Gambling Company were different from the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm he had entered in the real world.

Otherwise, Zhong Yi could have used these two Soul Taming Seeds to form a Contract with two exceptionally talented individuals.

This would have allowed Soul Soil to expand once again!

However, once Zhong Yi raised the Resurrection Celestial Lord to the Extraordinary Tier, he could form a six-person team with Zhong Ling, Shen Xuan, He Guoguo, Sun Ya, and Ren Suxin to explore a Second Level Secret Realm.

Previously, when exploring the First Level Secret Realm, the number of Guardian Beasts Zhong Yi had under Contract was quite small.

Besides Hong Ji, only Ice Glaze could help him in battle.

Back then, Zhong Ling and Shen Xuan had not yet fully developed their strength either.

But for the upcoming exploration of a Second Level Secret Realm, the six-person team formed by Zhong Yi and the others would easily be able to achieve 100% exploration of a Second Level Secret Realm, obtaining its Divine Origin Value and the Heart of the Secret Realm!

Meanwhile, Qin Ruyue had already rushed back to the headquarters of the Purifying Moon Sect.

Qin Ruyue was a core member of the Purifying Moon Sect who had been bestowed a Crying Moon Blood Token by the Crying Moon Goddess. She also possessed a Purifying Moon Mother Gu, which allowed her to directly receive the Crying Moon Goddess’s summons.

Because she had waited at her residence for Zhong Yi to return from the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm, Qin Ruyue’s return to the Purifying Moon Sect was a bit late.

Fortunately, the Crying Moon Goddess had always been lenient with her own people.

Perhaps because her end was near, the Crying Moon Goddess had become increasingly aggressive toward outsiders.

However, her tolerance for those within the sect was much higher than before.

During her decades in the Purifying Moon Sect, Qin Ruyue, as a Moon Judge, had opportunities to come into contact with the Crying Moon Goddess.

Although the internal competition within the Purifying Moon Sect was extremely fierce, and Qin Ruyue had survived many life-and-death struggles, she had always been nurtured by the sect.

The Rule Deceit Embryo that possessed the Mysterious Night Rule and the Emperor’s Tool of Silent Night were personally bestowed upon Qin Ruyue by the Crying Moon Goddess.

Qin Ruyue didn’t want the Crying Moon Goddess to perish because her time was running out.

But she had no good solution for this problem.

This time, the Qin Ruyue who returned to the Purifying Moon Sect was no longer just a Moon Judge of the sect.

She was now a hidden pawn planted in the Purifying Moon Sect by Zhong Yi, or rather, by Soul Soil.

Zhong Yi had given Qin Ruyue a Puppet Eye Demon Body, which would allow her to form a squad of Bizarre loyal only to her.

Upon returning to the Purifying Moon Sect this time, Qin Ruyue also had the idea of selecting some newborn Bizarre from within the sect.

In her own residence, Qin Ruyue carefully examined the Puppet Eye Demon Body, which had many Moon Eyes Flowers blooming on it.

She planned to start selecting talent for herself from within the sect after her meeting with the Crying Moon Goddess.

’As a Moon Judge, no one would suspect anything if I wanted to pick a few newborn Bizarre from the sect to cultivate.’

Just then, Qin Ruyue heard a bewitching voice.

The voice was cool, yet tinged with a coquettish charm; within that charm was a hint of wickedness and indifference.

"What an interesting thing you’re holding!"

"Judging by its aura, it’s very similar to the Moon Eyes Bellflower that the Deceit Holders of the Xin Xia Alliance use to control Bizarre."

"You were in the Xin Xia Federation for over a month. Don’t tell me you ended up being controlled by one of their Deceit Holders?"

This bewitching voice made the hair on Qin Ruyue’s entire body stand on end in an instant.

She was all too familiar with this voice.

It was the voice of the Crying Moon Goddess!

The Crying Moon Goddess’s vocal timbre was so unique that Qin Ruyue was certain she hadn’t misheard.

Never before had the Crying Moon Goddess deigned to visit her residence.

Qin Ruyue had never imagined that the Crying Moon Goddess would come looking for her on her own initiative.
