The Master of Beasts

Chapter 862 287: The Five Elements Deadland

After acquiring three new Beast Taming Techniques, the Flower Spirit began a new round of cultivation.

Because these three selected fierce beasts are much stronger than sheep and horses, the commotion they caused was quite large.

At the very least, even if the transformation fails, they can let out an earth-shattering wail!

"Roar!"

The shrill beast roar resounded once more, but Chen Jiuge was not surprised by this as it's been like this for days. Judging by the sound, it should be that fierce beast named Saber-toothed Tiger; how tragic!

Large Ranch

The Flower Spirit rubbed her temples, feeling somewhat frustrated, not because of exhaustion over the past few days, but because of the low success rate.

"Although the previous two attempts also failed, the failure rate wasn't as exaggerated. Out of ten, only one succeeds!"

Anxiousness flashed in the Flower Spirit's eyes. Due to certain special reasons, she couldn't leave the place, and the fierce beasts in the Large Ranch were actually those that accidentally ventured in and were captured by the Flower Spirit and kept. Over the long years, they accumulated bit by bit.

Now, after the Flower Spirit's endeavors, the number of fierce beasts in the Large Ranch has dramatically decreased.

After all, many fierce beasts accidentally enter; within the same species, only a single beast exists, making reproduction nearly impossible. The entire ranch seems full of fierce beasts, but in reality, there are very few species, only about a dozen!

And the few fierce beasts the Flower Spirit asked Chen Jiuge to cultivate are practically the ones with the largest numbers!

"I must think of a way, this can't go on!"

The Flower Spirit looked at the trembling Saber-toothed Tiger beside her and did not continue the cultivation, instead letting it go, and once again sought out Chen Jiuge.

As the saying goes, the one who tied the bell should be the one to untie it. When encountering a troublesome problem, the Flower Spirit first thought of Chen Jiuge, the one who invented the cultivation method.

"Uh, senior?"

While drinking the unique Spiritual Tea of the place, Chen Jiuge looked at the suddenly appearing Flower Spirit bewilderedly, feeling a bit puzzled: "Senior, why have you come again? Based on previous speeds, she should take at least three more days to complete a round of cultivation of those fierce beasts!"

"No need to call me senior, just call me by my name!"

Though not versed in worldly manners, the Flower Spirit showed a hint of awkwardness: "Chen Jiuge, I found that while cultivating the Saber-toothed Tiger, its success rate is very low. Why is this?"

"Do you have any way to increase the success rate?"

Chen Jiuge slightly shook his head: "It might be due to conflicting attributes. Flower Spirit, you're primarily cultivating the Five Elements Power, and you can even synthesize powerful Mixed Element Qi, which is also why you can refine my secret formula."

"The primary attribute of sheep and horses is itself wood, one of the Five Elements, so they naturally have a low chance of failure. However, the Saber-toothed Tiger's attributes are more inclined toward Yin and Yang, differing somewhat from the Five Elements Power, resulting in a higher likelihood of failure!"

There was one more thing Chen Jiuge didn't mention. If he wasn't worried about exposing the Chaos Pearl, he and the Flower Spirit could work together, not only guaranteeing the success rate but enabling these fierce beasts to possess the ability to store vitality.

However, the risk was too great for Chen Jiuge to try.

A look of helplessness appeared in the Flower Spirit's eyes: "Is there really no other way?"

Seeing the helplessness in the Flower Spirit's eyes, Chen Jiuge hesitated: "Senior, may I ask why you are so persistent in this matter?"

The Flower Spirit hesitated this time.

"You, never mind, it's not something that can't be said. Follow me!"

Desolate Land

Chen Jiuge looked at the barren ground in the center, his Divine Sense agitated, sensing immense danger.

"What is this situation? It feels very bad and dangerous!"

The Flower Spirit sighed: "This is also why I'm persistent in cultivating fierce beasts."

"Long ago, when I first came to this place, it was barren, and it had a rather resounding name—Five Elements Forbidden Land!"

"You should know this!"

Upon hearing the four words Five Elements Forbidden Land, Chen Jiuge's heart trembled, and the Flower Spirit's final sentence made his heart quiver even more.

"Senior, what do you mean by this?"

"You should have guessed that I am a transformation of an Innate Spirit Root. Why do you think an existence like me would be sent to this Five Elements Forbidden Land, and not imprisoned and nurtured for resources?"

"The ones who sent me here are from the same place as you!"

"Just that compared to them, you are too weak!"

"However, the aura on you is quite similar to theirs. Otherwise, do you think anyone telling me stories would be hosted with the fruit of my condensation?"

Chen Jiuge swallowed with difficulty, his mind in chaos. Could it be that the person who sent the Flower Spirit here was the host of the Nine Great Treasures who once came to the Heavenly Gift Realm?

But no, the Flower Spirit is an Innate Spirit Root-formed treasure. Would they really give it up?

After a while, the Flower Spirit continued: "Let's talk about the origin of this place!"

"You should know the Five Elements Forbidden Land, where nothing grows, and vitality does not exist!"

"Regular cultivators, if they stay in such a forbidden land for too long, not only will their cultivation regress, but they might even die suddenly!"

"When I just transformed, my cultivation level was low, and upon entering this place, it felt like being cut by a thousand knives. Fortunately, due to my Innate Divine Ability, with the increasing amount of Innate Primordial Qi, the Five Elements Forbidden Land underwent significant changes!"

"After reaching its peak, the vitality of this land weakened to the extreme, but then rebounded with the stimulation of the Innate Primordial Qi!"
