CHAPTER 439: CHAPTER 338: THE WHITE DRAGON LADY WHO WHOLEHEARTEDLY WISHES TO REPAY A FAVOR_2

But he thought that keeping such a person alive would only be a curse; it would be better to just kill them.

"Roar!" (Thank you both for making a decision on my behalf!)

The White Dragon Lady looked towards the high platform, expressing her gratitude.

However, she knew in her heart that the one she truly should thank was Chen Mo.

"Roar~" (Senior, for the help you’ve given to the White Dragon Lady, she is unable to repay you! How about letting the White Dragon Lady become your Spiritual Beast to repay you!)

After Chen Mo returned to the spectator seats, the White Dragon Lady communicated with him through mental connection.

"Wh-???"

Instantly, Xiao Jiu pricked up its ears.

I can hear your scheming all the way in the Spiritual Space!

Thinking about freeloading food and drinks every day, huh?

"Sorry, White Dragon Lady, I’ve already reached the limit on the number of Spiritual Beasts I can contract."

Chen Mo said somewhat regretfully.

The White Dragon Lady’s appearance was also very appealing. If there were a slot, making a contract would be great!

"Roar~" (Alright~)

A look of disappointment appeared in the White Dragon Lady’s eyes. She wondered if she might still have a chance when Chen Mo’s Spiritual Space advanced?

"Two seniors, my lord invites you to have a talk upstairs."

At that moment, a young Spirit Master dressed in Canglan Palace’s uniform approached Chen Mo and Chen Meng with polite words.

"Okay."

Chen Mo thought for a moment and then nodded his head.

He already had a rough guess in his mind.

The invitation from Canglan Palace was very likely an attempt to recruit them.

Following the Canglan Palace disciple, Chen Mo and company quickly arrived at a private box.

The box was several hundred square meters, with a clear view of the fights in the arena below.

In the center of the box was a scholar-like young man with a tied-up hairdo. Beside the scholar was a girl dressed in a light blue dress with a graceful and gentle demeanor.

The moment he saw the girl, Chen Mo couldn’t help but be reminded of a character named "Dragon Kui" from a TV series called "Jian San" from his previous life; the two were quite similar.

Chen Mo naturally guessed her identity—the champion of the last Canglan Grand Ceremony and the granddaughter of Canglan Palace’s Palace Master, Cang Lan.

As for the scholar, Chen Mo guessed that he was likely the Palace Master of Canglan Palace!

"Please have a seat, young friends!"

At that moment, a familiar voice resonated in their hearts.

"Kui Bull senior!?"

Chen Mo looked incredulously towards the "scholar".

Was this gentle and scholarly person really the incredibly fierce-looking Kui Bull!?

"Yes."

The Kui Bull nodded and smiled slightly, then waved his hand as four cups of fragrant Spiritual Tea were smoothly placed on the table before Chen Mo and company, as well as their Spiritual Beasts, carried by the support of flowing water.

"Spirit Origin Tea, it refreshes the mind and enhances meditation efficiency."

"Thank you, Senior!"

"Master Chen Mo, your Spiritual Beast is very strong! Please be gentle in the upcoming matches."

Cang Lan said with a soft voice and a smile to Chen Mo, and then, changing her tone, she suddenly asked:

"Senior Chen Meng, Master Chen Mo, you two, you’re not Spirit Masters from this world, are you?"

Chen Mo was slightly stunned, and at the same time, he felt as if a wave of spiritual power swept over his body.

This spiritual power was very concealed, but Chen Mo’s spiritual power was very strong, and he still felt the presence of this spiritual power.

In this box, besides Kui Bull and Cang Lan, there was a third presence!

However, this wave of spiritual power didn’t have any malicious intent; it seemed to merely want to observe his spiritual fluctuation to distinguish whether he was telling the truth or lies.

Just as Chen Mo was about to answer, Chen Meng had already spoken:

"Correct! We come from another Spirit World, belonging to a country called Dongxia."

Her tone was cold, mainly because she was annoyed by Cang Lan’s use of the term "senior".

She was clearly an old woman already, yet she had to address her as senior, too much!

"Indeed."

Cang Lan wasn’t surprised by this. Over the years, she had seen many Spirit Masters from other worlds as well.

"I also wanted to ask whether you would be willing to join Canglan Palace, but since you both have achieved so much at such a young age, I assume that your Dongxia Country is also a place with abundant Spiritual Power. You probably wouldn’t take interest in our so-called blessed land."

Kui Bull spoke, his demeanor tinged with a hint of regret.

At those words, Chen Mo paused.

The spiritual power in Blue Star is extremely scarce; in fact, most areas outright lack Spiritual Energy.

It’s only in the past century, with the opening of several portals to the Spirit Realm, that the concentration of spiritual power has slightly increased, but it’s still only enough to support Spiritual Beasts cultivating up to the Extraordinary Rank.

They’re strong, simply because they’ve got cheats.

"Since it’s not for the blessed land, then may I ask, what’s the purpose of you joining the Canglan Grand Ceremony?"

Kui Bull then asked.

"To witness the prodigies of Jizhou."

Chen Mo paused, then truthfully said:

"Of course, another main reason is to obtain the admission quota for the Candle Dragon Altar!"

"Indeed..."

Hearing this, Kui Bull showed a look of expectation.

The Candle Dragon Altar is an opportunity left by beings of myth for those destined, so it’s quite logical to attract Spirit Masters from other world’s major powers.

Given the strength displayed by Chen Mo and his companion, Kui Bull naturally presumed that Dongxia Country was a very powerful Spirit Kingdom.

"There are a total of 100 quotas for the Candle Dragon Altar, and if you can achieve a ranking in the Canglan Grand Ceremony, I naturally will not withhold your quota."

Kui Bull said slowly.

The number of quotas for the Candle Dragon Altar had been mentioned in the "foresight" obtained by the Palace Master of Canglan Palace, and there were no restrictions on the levels of Spiritual Beasts entering the Candle Dragon Altar.

"However, since you are not from Jizhou, we cannot give you the blessed land rewards of the Canglan Grand Ceremony."

"Senior, in fact, we are not unable to become disciples of Canglan Palace! The Dongxia Country we are currently in is very open-minded and does not require us to join only one single faction."

Chen Mo spoke with all seriousness.

On Blue Star, I am a director of Hongmeng Company; in the Spirit Realm, I am a disciple of Canglan Palace.

There’s no conflict here!

A Level 5 blessed land is indeed very enticing!

Hearing this, Kui Bull was taken aback.

Seemingly astonished by Chen Mo’s bold statement.

"Moreover, there are many aspects in which we can exchange and collaborate."

Chen Mo slightly smiled, then took out a variety of gourmet foods from his Space Ring.

Ultra-luxury seafood sushi, Spiritual Algae Glutinous Rice Dumplings, ice grass beverages...

"Our Dongxia Country is known for its culinary delights, as it has many famous Spirit Chefs, and I am one of them. This is the food I’ve made, please enjoy!"

py, activate!

The Kui Bull before him was a Totem-level Spiritual Beast, and Cang Lan was a direct descendant of Canglan Palace, able to be considered as a high-ranking member of a major power in the Spirit World, definitely controlling many resources.

If a connection could be established through gourmet food, it would surely be a profitable venture without any loss!

"To think it’s a country known for its food!"

There was a hint of envy in Kui Bull’s voice.

Spirit Chefs are popular wherever they go.

After all, who could reject delicious gourmet food that possesses various magical properties?

"Then I’ll give it a try!"

Saying this, it put a piece of ultra-luxury seafood sushi into its mouth and then closed its eyes, revealing an expression of endless aftertaste.

"This is... epicurean food!! Very good! And this piece of sushi seems... to enhance the potential of Water Element Spiritual Beasts?"

Soon, Kui Bull opened its eyes, asking with some uncertainty.

Although this piece of sushi could hardly have any effect on it, it could still faintly perceive the purpose of the sushi.

What surprised it was—could it be that this exquisite cuisine, which would be considered a treasure even in Canglan Palace, was made by the young man in white before its eyes?!

years old... capable of creating epicurean cuisine?!

And it seems that it’s not too difficult for him to make such delicacies; otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible for him to take out so much all at once like he was selling cabbages!

Could it be that in this Spirit Kingdom named Dongxia, everyone is a Chef God, making food their path, which is why the growth levels and combat powers of their Spiritual Beasts are so high!

Kui Bull’s mind was filled with conjectures, and its evaluation of Chen Mo and the forces behind him was raised another level.

"Yes, this sushi can enhance the potential of Spiritual Beasts below Overlord Level. Spiritual Algae Glutinous Rice Dumplings have a chance to allow Water Element plant-type Spiritual Beasts to master rare moves; they are also epicurean delicacies..."

Chen Mo introduced each of the foods he had brought out.

"Ah?"

Hearing this, Cang Lan couldn’t help but put down the glutinous rice dumpling she had eaten half of, shock and regret showing in her eyes.

What!? This is epicurean food!? And it can help Water Element plant-type Spiritual Beasts learn special moves!?

She suddenly felt like she had made a loss!

Because she just happened to have a Green Water Spirit Vine...

No, wait, who serves epicurean level cuisines as samples to others!?
