Kong Ling's face instantly turned sour: "Brother Shangguan, isn't this bad?"

"Hmm?" You stiffened your aura, "Have you ever seen a fist as big as a sandbag?!"

Kong Ling looked helpless: "Brother Shangguan, it’s not that I’m withholding the breeding secret formula, it’s just that due to special reasons, I really can’t give it to you!"

You lifted your chin: "Let me hear how you’re going to twist this."

"Brother Shangguan, our Beast Taming Sect indeed has more than one method to breed beasts, but no matter which method, it must be done within the Beast Taming Sect for it to be effective!"

You thought for a moment: "So Kong brother means your Beast Taming Sect is a feng shui treasure land, where small animals only thrive and grow strong when they are within your Beast Taming Sect’s territory?"

"Exactly!"

You asked again, "Is the sect leader of your Beast Taming Sect a top Ultimate Grandmaster?"

Kong Ling regained some confidence: "Yes, yes, he is!"

You rubbed your chin thoughtfully. If it really was a feng shui issue for the Beast Taming Sect, then you could only put the little animals in the Beast Taming Sect to raise.

But the Beast Taming Sect might not agree to your cloud breeding request since this is the foundation of their sect, and they wouldn’t easily let other sects get involved.

"If they don’t agree..."

You muttered thoughtfully to yourself, "There are eleven Ultimate Grandmasters in total, one top Ultimate Grandmaster, ten ordinary Ultimate Grandmasters; it should be possible to eliminate them all..."

"Brother Shangguan?!" Kong Ling’s pupils contracted sharply, "Brother Shangguan, are you still there?!"

You snapped back to reality: "I’m here, I’m here. What’s up?"

Kong Ling looked terrified: "Brother Shangguan, you weren’t speaking human language just now!!"

You looked at the shocked Kong Ling: "I just want you guys to help me raise some little animals, but I’m afraid you won’t agree."

"Agree, agree! We all agree! We even have a quite comprehensive foster service, guaranteed satisfaction!"

You finally brightened up: "That’s what I want to hear?"

"That’s what I’m saying!" Kong Ling nodded rapidly like a pestle pounding rice.

Kong Ling didn’t know if you could single-handedly break through the entire Beast Taming Sect, but he knew that if you wanted to kill him now, it would be effortless.

Even a top Ultimate Grandmaster like Monk Jue had been scared away by your single strike. Kong Ling believed you must be an unparalleled Ultimate Grandmaster.

But strangely, there were only a few unparalleled Ultimate Grandmasters, and Kong Ling had never seen you before, so he couldn’t figure out your habits at all.

So Kong Ling warned himself not to anger you, and agreed hastily for now, hoping everything else could be negotiated later.

You looked at Kong Ling, who gave you a flattering smile.

You couldn’t verify the truth of Kong Ling’s words because the Truth-Seeking Pill has no effect on Ultimate Grandmasters.

But you wouldn’t go alone to the Beast Taming Sect to check either. Your strength was great but not invincible in the whole realm; if the Beast Taming Sect had traps or tricks, you’d be doomed.

It’s best to be cautious.

You looked up into the distance, then with a roll of your Source Power, you bound five ordinary little sea swallows to you.

You placed them in front of Kong Ling: "Help me raise these in the Beast Taming Sect for one year. I’ll observe the effect and cover all the related costs."

Kong Ling breathed a sigh of relief, seeing you weren’t unreasonable and knew to settle the expenses.

"Brother Shangguan, of course, no problem!" Kong Ling agreed eagerly, "Then Brother Shangguan, I’ll take my leave!"

"Wait!" You called out to stop Kong Ling from taking off.

Kong Ling looked at you curiously.

You chuckled: "Brother Kong, you haven’t given me the breeding secret formula you promised!"

Kong Ling’s face turned helpless: "Brother Shangguan, you still want the secret formula?!"

"I also like little animals, doing some academic research!"

Kong Ling felt like he had misjudged you — you were indeed a ruthless and unreasonable person.

Helpless, Kong Ling took out three secret formulas for you.

"Brother Shangguan, can I leave now?"

You smiled again: "Brother Kong, you’re always forgetful. You still haven’t given me the three Emberhawks!"

Kong Ling confirmed with Sister Yangyang that you were indeed unreasonable.

You said earnestly: "Brother Kong, don’t look at me like that. I’m trading five sea swallows for your three Emberhawks. You’re making a huge profit!"

Kong Ling’s face turned ashen: "Brother Shangguan, I’d rather trade a hundred sea swallows for three Emberhawks!"

"What kind of talk is that? Do you think I’d let you lose out?!"

Kong Ling didn’t even have the mood to curse silently. He just lowered his gaze and looked at you with resentment.

"Brother Kong, you’ve misunderstood. I’m just taking them back to raise and admire for a year. When the time’s up, I’ll return them. I absolutely won’t let a single feather of the three treasures fall!"

Kong Ling raised his eyebrows and regained his spirit: "Brother Shangguan, you really mean that?"

"Absolutely! After a year, you bring the five sea swallows to the Palace of Ten Thousand Dreams, and I’ll return the Emberhawks intact!" You placed a seventh-grade Healing Pill in front of Kong Ling, "This is my sincerity!"

You quietly calculated in your mind: the essence blood value of three Emberhawks far exceeded this seventh-grade pill.

Kong Ling’s expression brightened immediately, and he quickly took the pill: "Brother Shangguan, you’re generous!"

Kong Ling had expected you to forcibly snatch the Emberhawks, but now you were basically letting the Beast Taming Sect raise three Emberhawks for free for a year.

Plus, Kong Ling got a seventh-grade pill for himself. He felt like he had gained big time.

What Kong Ling didn’t know was that he might gain, but you would never lose.

This time you took the initiative: "Brother Kong, you may go now. Until we meet again!"

Kong Ling was relieved and turned to fly away: "Brother Shangguan, see you in a year!"

The three Emberhawks wanted to follow Kong Ling right after he flew off.

But with a roll of your Source Power in your hand, no matter how hard the three huge Emberhawks flapped, they couldn’t fly and just circled in place.

The three Emberhawks seemed to sense danger, fluttering desperately in the direction Kong Ling had flown.

You laughed: "Daddy doesn’t want you anymore~"

The three Emberhawks flapped even more wildly, almost able to talk in frustration.

You didn’t care, wrapping the Emberhawks and heading towards the Palace of Ten Thousand Dreams.

You had injected your Source Power mark into the five sea swallows you gave Kong Ling, so you weren’t afraid he would switch them.

While flying, you pondered whether the Beast Taming Sect’s territory really gave such a huge benefit to animals.

Judging by Kong Ling’s expression, it didn’t seem like a lie. You also got the secret formulas and gave five sea swallows to Kong Ling for breeding, so you could do a controlled test.

"If the effect really only happens within the Beast Taming Sect’s territory, then this place must have something special!"

You also wondered whether the Beast Taming Sect first developed its beast taming ability and then found this place to establish the sect, or if they found this feng shui treasure land first and then made beast taming their main business.

You planned to ask next time.

You figured that after you found and fused the second Dry Metal affinity Earth Source, you’d go to the Beast Taming Sect to see what’s really going on.

Thinking this, you looked at the Earth Source bowl in your hand.

You lifted the cover and quickly stored the Earth Source inside your spatial pocket.

Your consciousness entered the space. Your manifested consciousness became more solid and stable, which you guessed was due to progress in Divine Micro-Vision.

The hazy mist gradually dispersed, revealing the scenery inside.

When you saw the Earth Source’s form clearly, a huge smile broke out on your face: "Haha, lucky!"

In the center of that Earth Source floated a perfectly proportioned, harmoniously shaped precious blade, radiating an overwhelming vast aura.

You recognized the Earth Source immediately: "Heavenly Mist Blade, Dry Metal affinity ranked fifth!"
