Celestial Beast Taming

Zhong Yi could also find more Spiritual Springs and place them on the shore of the artificial lake where he was growing the Panlong Jade Willows.

He would then wait for each of these incredibly precious Spiritual Springs to slowly transform under the influence of the Panlong Jade Willows.

As Tao Niannian listened to Zhong Yi and the others discuss the Dragon Soaring Association, a look of longing appeared in her eyes.

When Zhong Yi asked if she wanted to go to the Dragon Soaring Association, Tao Niannian shook her head without hesitation, saying she would stay in the shop with Tao En.

She was afraid that if someone came to cause trouble again, her grandfather wouldn’t be able to handle it.

Tao Niannian had no idea that thanks to Zhong Yi’s treatment, Tao En was already able to summon his Lifebound Guardian Beast.

Tao En had deliberately kept this from Tao Niannian.

”Zhong Yi, just let Niannian stay in the shop!”

”Cao Xing’an is currently the only Five-finger Peak Creator in Longya City, and many people are trying to figure out how to curry favor with him.”

”If you take Niannian with you, and you don’t reveal your identity as a Celestial Destiny Seeker, people will inevitably cause trouble for you. It would ruin your experience at the Dragon Soaring Association.”

”There’s nothing left for my granddaughter and me here in Longya City. Once we get to Starlight City, I’ll be sure to show Niannian all the sights.”

Zhong Yi could hear the determination in Tao En’s voice to leave Longya City.

After agreeing to return that evening to continue the treatment, Zhong Yi left with Wen Tao, Cui Heng, and the others for Waking Dragon Creek Valley, where the Dragon Soaring Association was being held.

The Longya City Celestial Destiny Society had specially arranged a Guardian Beast Vehicle for Zhong Yi, Wen Tao, and the others.

Normally, the Directors of the Celestial Destiny Societies in each Heroic City were powerhouses at the Mythical Tier or above.

He Meisi’s power was at the Mythical Tier Peak. She had been stuck at this Tier while serving as the Steward of the Longya City Celestial Destiny Society for nearly thirty years. Her long tenure had a great deal to do with her ability to handle matters.

Because the Dragon Soaring Association was being held, nearly ten Celestial Destiny Seekers from other Heroic Cities had come to Longya City.

Without exception, all of these Celestial Destiny Seekers received excellent care from He Meisi.

Every Celestial Destiny Seeker who interacted with He Meisi felt wonderfully at ease in her presence.

Whenever the interests of Celestial Destiny Seekers clashed with those of other groups, He Meisi would unhesitatingly side with the Celestial Destiny Seekers.

The two Stewards from the Jinglong Commerce Association had come to the Celestial Destiny Society last night to ask He Meisi about the conflict that had occurred in Tao En’s shop.

Since the matter involved Zhong Yi and Wen Tao, two Celestial Destiny Seekers from Starlight City, He Meisi showed Cao Xing’an no deference whatsoever in her handling of it.

As the Steward of the Celestial Destiny Society, He Meisi was keenly aware of her duties.

This was one of the reasons she had been able to hold her position as the society’s Steward so securely for so long.

Of course, there was another reason: it was rumored that He Meisi had a significant relationship with the Dragon Emperor.

Although the Dragon Emperor had left Longya City to become a Celestial Destiny Seeker affiliated with the Royal Capital, his authority and prestige in the city remained undiminished!

Even though the Dragon Emperor had left Longya City, he could still act as He Meisi’s backer.

On the way, Wen Tao’s phone rang again.

Wen Tao’s face showed surprise as he picked up his phone.

The moment he answered, Guo Xing’s cheerful voice came from the other end.

”Ah Tao, you said you were going to the Dragon Soaring Association today, right? Where are you now?”

”Let me show you guys around!”

”They’ve invested more resources into the Dragon Soaring Association this time, and a lot of great items have been added to the prize pool.”

The conflict in Tao En’s shop last night hadn’t been a major incident.

The Guardian Beast World wasn’t like the peaceful era of Zhong Yi’s past life. Usually, incidents that required the city guard’s involvement were vicious affairs involving fatalities.

But because last night’s conflict involved the personal grudge between two Creators, Cao Xing’an and Tao En, it was an extremely sensitive issue. Many factions within Longya City were paying close attention.

Last night, Wen Tao hadn’t told Guo Xing why he had snubbed Ju Jiasu and Cao Xing’an, but he had made it clear that he didn’t mind making an enemy of a Five-finger Peak Creator like Cao Xing’an.

Wen Tao had assumed Guo Xing would distance himself after that, but he never expected Guo Xing would still be willing to act as his guide, completely unfazed by the potential repercussions.

Instead of immediately agreeing, Wen Tao said with a serious expression.

”Old Guo, you may not be aware, but I’m very close with Master Tao En.”

”This situation doesn’t just involve Cao Xing’an; Ju Jiasu is involved as well.”

”You and Ju Jiasu are Celestial Destiny Seekers from the same generation. You’re bound to run into each other all the time.”

”If you act as our guide, and we continue to associate closely with Master Tao En, it will definitely have a major impact on you.”

Guo Xing heard this and said dismissively.

”Ju Jiasu came to me last night and told me to stop contacting you.”

”Who I hang out with is my own business! What the hell does it have to do with her?!”

”She’s got some nerve, sticking her nose where it doesn’t belong!”

”We’re all Celestial Destiny Seekers. If she were stronger than me and put me down with her power and potential, I could accept that.”

”But she’s always throwing her family’s weight around, acting like some spoiled princess. I can’t stand it.”

”I’m not as patient as Jiao Donghai.”

”You know I was just an ordinary guy before becoming a Celestial Destiny Seeker. My parents are dead.”

”If Ju Jiasu and Cao Xing’an push me too far, what’s the worst that can happen? I’ll just leave Longya City and join another Heroic City.”

”I doubt other Heroic Cities would turn away a Celestial Destiny Seeker like me just to save face for Ju Jiasu and Cao Xing’an.”

Wen Tao’s eyebrows shot up at Guo Xing’s words, and his mind immediately started racing.
