Chapter 40 - 40: 040 Black Scale Eagle Beast Taming_l
Upon hearing this, Su Yu understood. The Earth-Rock Rat, while being a formidable beast, has poor cognitive abilities, making it unideal for taming.
However, employing it to find spiritual ores does indeed sound like a sensible plan.
But a second-order early-stage Earth-Rock Rat…
Su Yu hesitated, saying, “I have yet to test if I can subdue a second-order early-stage beast. But let’s try and see what happens.”
Yu Ke’er quickly agreed: “Alright, we’ll take ten portions then.”
As she said that.
Yu Ke’er tossed a beast-taming bag to Su Yu, saying: “Inside is a Black-Scaled Eagle beast egg we found in Bayao Ridge. It’s a second-tier flying beast with superior bloodline, perfect for beast taming.”
“However, for some reason, this beast egg has been tainted by a wisp of
Demonic Qi, hence it’s slightly ferocious and not suitable for beast taming.”
“You can choose to hatch it, consume it or even sell it. It all depends on what you see is right.”
“Use it as a deposit for now. There’ll be more reward after we’ve captured the second-order Rat King.”
After Yu Ke’er and others left, Su Yu turned to Chen Sisi.
Su Yu asked, “What’s happening between Chen Family and Yu Family?”
Chen Sisi smiled enchantingly. Compared to her pre-marriage days, she seemed enticing and charming, her eyes alluring fourfold.
Chen Sisi murmured, “Chen Family has agreed to help Yu Family capture the Earth-Rock Rat King, in exchange for a retired second-order early-stage tamed beast from Yu Family.”
“So basically they’re trading the second-order Earth-Rock Rat King for a retired tamed beast from the Yu Family.”
“Of course, this is contingent on a successful capture of the Rat King. And all costs will be borne by the Chen Family.”
So that’s what happened.
Su Yu initially thought that the Yu Family would join hands with the Chen Family to intimidate the Huang Family.
Apparently not, it is for the second-order early-stage Earth-Rock Rat beast.
Regardless, it doesn’t concern him. Whether the two families succeed in capturing the Rat King or not, he’s already made some money from them.
“How is Qingyi doing? Has his arm been reattached?” After tidying up, Su Yu turned to Chen Sisi and asked about Su Qingyi’s condition.
Chen Sisi’s face wrinkled with bitterness, “There’s no chance of reattaching. His practice would likely be affected from this injury.”
She gritted her teeth and continued, “There’s a second-order high-grade
Rejuvenating Pill in the sect which can revive flesh and repair broken limbs. Maybe in the future when I’ve accumulated enough Contribution Value, I can exchange for one.”
Su Yu comforted Chen Sisi for a moment, and then she left.
Watching Chen Sisi’s retreating figure, Su Yu sighed inwardly. He had insisted that going to Chen Family’s Purple Gold Sand ore mine would be dangerous. That’s why he directly refused the Family Head’s proposal and chose to return to the market for peaceful cultivation.
If not, he might have been the one who lost an arm, or even his life.
However…
If he hadn’t refused, Su Qingyi would not have been sent to the Chen Family’s mine.
“I will …deal with it later, I probably have to reach Foundation Establishment Realm mid-stage to make a second-order high-grade Rejuvenating Pill. It’s too soon to consider those matters now,” Su Yu sighed and shook his head. By that time, Su Qingyi might have already grown old.
The Muscle Regeneration Elixir doesn’t seem to work as well.
He pulled out a monster egg the size of a head from the beast-taming pouch given by Yu Ke’er.
This monster egg was entirely pitch-black like ink jade, but now it was emanating strands of red demonic Qi. The creature inside yet to be hatched appeared to be particularly irritable and quick-tempered.
It was just a monster egg, but when Su Yu took it out to examine it, he could feel a sliver of hostility coming from the little creature inside!
It seemed to want to eat him!
Su Yu gazed at the monster egg, his brows slightly furrowed: “Eight Monster Ridge… how could a monster egg there be contaminated with demonic Qi? What happened there?”
First, a large number of demonic cultivators and pillagers had flooded into the territory of the Yunjian Sect; then came the token of the inner sect disciple of the Nine-Soul Demon Palace, a major demonic force, found in the Ghost Head Golden Eagle; and now, the demonic cultivator Blood Blade had also gone to the Eight Monster Ridge.
And now, the Yu family had found a monster egg contaminated with demonic Qi from the Eight Monster Ridge.
All these events in succession made Su Yu feel slightly uneasy within.
“Demonic Qi… I wonder if it can be dissolved?” Su Yu attempted to infuse his own mana, bit by bit, to erode the demonic Qi on it, but he swiftly found something amiss — this demonic Qi hadn’t just contaminated the egg, it had actually caused the egg to undergo a mutation.
The egg, by now, had transformed into a demonic monster egg, with the demonic essence being its own.
Inwardly, Su Yu cursed Ke’er for tricking his ass; no wonder the Yu family didn’t want this monster egg.
“Eat… I probably can’t eat it; the demonic Qi of this monster egg is more poisonous to cultivators than poison itself. But I also can’t possibly discard it; it’s the deposit that I earned with great effort and hence, I can’t destroy it either.”
Su Yu had a headache, and could only continue to try to infuse his mana, to see if he could foster feelings. “Huh, that seems to work?”
Not long after,
Su Yu noticed a slight change in the monster egg. Its aura was not as irritable as before, and its hostility was also greatly reduced. This black-scale eagle monster egg was happily absorbing his Green Wood Year Ring Skill mana.
“The mutated demonic bloodline probably cannot be changed, but if it regains its spiritual knowledge and is able to control its own bloodline, then it should still be able to become a tamed beast?”
Su Yu excited within.
He thought back to the Fire Ape cub before, which had improved substantially in its spiritual intelligence due to his nurturing with mana, and showed no signs of losing control till now.
If the Fire Ape could change, why not this black-scale eagle?
After feeding mana to the black-scale eagle monster egg and storing it up properly, Su Yu started to research on creating a more powerful monster lure powder to see if stronger spiritual medicine would work on a second-stage early phase monster.
A few days later, Su Yu handed over ten samples of the advanced monster lure powder to Yu Ke’er.
Under his continuous nurturing using the Green Wood Year Ring Skill, a month later, the vitality of the black-scale eagle monster egg improved remarkably. It no longer held any hostility towards him and could freely control its demonic
The vitality of the mutated black-scale eagle monster egg was more than twice as strong as a regular black-scale eagle monster egg.
When Yu Ke’er returned from the Chen Family’s market after successfully luring an early second-stage Earth Rock Mouse King, and saw the black-scale eagle monster egg again, she was shocked beyond belief.
“Ah, ah! Its bloodline aura… it’s completely changed!” Yu Ke’er cried out in surprise.
The mutated black-scale eagle monster egg left Yu Ke’er’s eyes filled with envy and greed. She made numerous attractive offers to exchange it with Su Yu, and even tried to seduce him, but unfortunately, although her face flushed, Su Yu remained unmoved. His eyes admired it,
But his heart was not tempted at all!
That really annoyed Ke’er. Damn Su Yu, why doesn’t he seem to appreciate loveliness at all?
Half a month later, under Ke’er’s envious watch, the black-scale eagle monster egg was hatched, and Su Yu used the Beast Taming Technique to make it his own tamed beast..
