Chapter 123 - Be Careful; I Will Disown You
After entering the house and finding no one inside, Su Bai opened his contract book and let out the little dino, the baby fox, and the little dragon.
"Master, I don"t have a monarch pet. The support you mentioned might be coming from this Ancestor Blood Dragon, my pet," he said.
He had actually contemplated a long time ago whether he should tell his master about his dragon or not. Finally, he decided to inform him, thinking that it should be fine given his understanding of Gao An.
If he kept it a secret, it might destroy their master-disciple relationship. Furthermore, the elderly man did not detest the blood pets as much as the Pet Alliance did.
Otherwise, he would not have left the skull badge with him and let him enter the Scarlet Wilderness.
Gao An: Σ(°△°|||)_
He originally thought his apprentice had contracted a rather decent dog out of luck and had truly not expected him to release a dragon.
Furthermore, it was an Ancestor Blood Dragon, which he had never even seen before. Even with his extensive knowledge, he still stood there in shock for a long time.
"How did you contract this dragon?" He swallowed his saliva and asked. There were not many Ancestor Dragons in total.
However, since the emergence of the blood pets, the dragon families in the alliance had been trying to breed an Ancestor Blood Dragon to no avail.
On the other hand, his apprentice had managed to contract that very dragon. He really could not imagine how this boy had accomplished such a feat. Even if the Ancestor Blood Dragon was just born, it was not something a rookie like Su Bai could contract.
"Actually, I evolved it. The predecessor of this little dragon is a worm that I found in the Scarlet Wilderness. I discovered that it had consciousness, so I caught and raised it. I then detected a pa.s.sive force called "Dragon Breath" in its body. As long as it killed creatures of different races, which were stronger than it, it could collect Dragon Breaths.
"So I tried cultivating it, and eventually it evolved into a dragon. Master, do you think that the Pet Alliance will hunt me down?" asked Su Bai cautiously.
Gao An was speechless for a long time after hearing this. G.o.d was really helping his apprentice for him to obtain a dragon. Otherwise, who would have thought that an ordinary bug could evolve into an Ancestor Blood Dragon?
"Hmph! Whoever dares to chase down my apprentice will suffer the consequences from me. Don"t worry; just cultivate this Ancestor Dragon well. This is your destiny, so no one can take it from you. Trust me."
Gao An shook his hand and spoke confidently. He was really pressed into a hurry, thinking back of how his complete Algae monster had already caused the entire Alliance to tremble three times back then.
"Thank you, master." Su Bai bowed quickly. As expected of his master, he did not have any intentions of coveting his little dragon.
"Come with me; I"ll check the specific situation of this dragon for you and write a cultivation manual."
His master turned around and said.
"Roar~"
The little dragon followed Su Bai, guarding him closely.
Gao An quickly extracted the little dragon"s data through the Algae monster. Upon seeing the information, he was dazed for a long while. This Ancestor Blood Dragon was much stronger than he thought; no wonder those dragon families were still studying it.
"Here, this is the cultivation manual. I also wrote one for your Thousand-face Fox. Cultivate it well."
He handed the written cultivation manuals to the boy and sighed. "Has the Twelve Dragon Slayers organization found you yet?"
"Yes. Wei Ya, the Card Queen, came to find me. She said that I can do her a favor in the future."
Su Bai took the cultivation manuals and nodded.
"Wei Ya is a pitiful person; she"s not bad in nature and probably won"t do anything harmful to you.
"Since you contracted an Ancestor Blood Dragon, it means that you entered the Scarlet Wilderness. She and you are now on the same boat.
"It"ll be good to let your dragon acquire more blood subordinates inside. It"s beneficial for you. As for the other things, she"ll tell you when it"s time. I don"t know too much and only know that this is an inheritance."
Gao An patted him on the shoulder and said.
"Okay, I understand."
He nodded despite feeling confused inside. This had something to do with an inheritance? What inheritance?
It made his heart itch just thinking about it.
"Master, is there anything else I can do? If not, I"ll go back now. I have a Purple Sparrow Tea Tree that will die if I don"t plant it soon. I still want to make some tea to honor you once I succeed in raising it," he said.
"Hmph! Of course, there"s something to do. You haven"t finished the business I called you over for."
The old man glanced at him. "Come with me."
"Okay."
Su Bai followed his master and soon came to a storage room with several brand-new equipment; all of which were necessary scientific instruments for trainers.
"Do I have to move these things?" he asked curiously.
"No, these instruments are for you. I heard that your family had completed the manor construction. You can take these back home. Whenever you"re free, study some trainer"s knowledge. These books are also for you.
"If you fail to pa.s.s the intermediate trainer exam within three years, I"ll disown you as my disciple."
Gao An raised his head high.
Su Bai: "…"
"Thank you, master." He quickly thanked him.
Without mentioning the handbooks for trainers and his master"s personally written notes, just this equipment alone already added up to a value of hundreds of millions. These were all priceless treasures.
He believed even more that his proud master knew he was poor and was finding excuses to give him so many new things.
"Hmph. If you don"t obtain an intermediate trainer certificate, you just wait for me to disown you. I"ll also issue an announcement that I"m expelling you."
Gao An snorted coldly.
Su Bai: "…"
Did he have to go as far as to do that?
"I don"t think you can move them all back, so I"ll let my Algae give you a ride back."
Looking at his apprentice, Gao An released his monarch pet to help him move everything.
"Goodbye, master." Su Bai waved his hand on the back of the giant bird.
Standing at the cultivation base, the old man did not even spare his apprentice a glance. He lay on the recliner and closed his eyes, enjoying the wonderful time after the afternoon sun had set.
The Algae flew at top speed and reached the peak of Baiyue Manor in a few minutes. Su Bai took out his ident.i.ty card to open a gap in the shield and flew in with the Algae.
"Senior Algae, please put me down on the Azure Dragon Mound"s side," he said.
"Chirp chirp!"
The Algae put him and the things from the villa down before ignoring him and leaving.
"Guys, come and give me a hand! Bring this equipment inside the incubation room."
Fortunately, the villa on the Azure Dragon Mound was very large, covering an area of nearly 1,000 square meters. It even had a special cultivation laboratory for his use. Although there were many books and equipment, all of them could still fit into the villa.
"Howl! (๑oั╰╯oั๑)"
"Roar!"
Having just eaten their fill, the pets were very obedient. They moved around in the house while carrying things, all looking quite funny.
One by one, they moved with small steps and thumped forward.
Su Bai installed each equipment at a suitable location inside the incubation room.
Not long after, Su Yue and his parents rushed over, having seen the monarch Algae moving lots of things.
"There are so many instruments; don"t they all add up to hundreds of millions? Big bro, are you that rich?" asked Su Yue in shock. He could tell at a glance the prices of these instruments and even saw some high-end ones which were difficult to purchase in the market.
Examples were the semi-automatic psychic separator and the incubation for profound medicines.
"Hundreds of millions?"
Their parents gawked. When was their son so rich?
"No, these books are even more expensive. They"re not even available for sale in the market and are all trainer manuals."
Su Yue looked at the books and exclaimed, "Big bro, you must let me take a look! I usually don"t get to read such books, so they"re too precious."
He casually opened a book, feeling fascinated. The knowledge recorded in it was all new information to him, and he could not put down the book after reading it for a while.
Now, Father Su and Mother Su were unsure of how to express their shock. Su Bai"s world was too crazy, and they could no longer understand it.
"Of course, I don"t have so much money. These things, especially the books, can"t be bought with money. They"re given by my master. He"s much more advanced and powerful than you think."
While moving things, Su Bai explained this to them. Although this infrastructure was a mere trifle, to him and ninety percent of the world, all of this was already priceless.
With these things, whenever he wanted to make anything, he would not have to borrow equipment and tools from the Blue Moon Cultivation House anymore. Gao An was genuinely too thoughtful.
Although he appeared aloof on the surface, he even knew that their family"s manor had been completed. Su Bai could only admire his master for being too awesome.
"Okay, I knew it."
Mother Su exhaled in relief upon hearing this. This situation was much more acceptable to her.
"You really got yourself a good master; you must treat him well." Father Su sighed and then helped to move the things.
As for Su Yue, he had already immersed himself in the books and was unable to extricate himself.
It took Su Bai a few hours to finish setting up all the equipment. There was not much s.p.a.ce left in this laboratory, covering an area of more than three hundred square meters, afterward. His master had given him a complete set, so almost all the instruments used by trainers were here.
"Alright, we"ll go leave. Remember to come over for dinner with your younger brother later."
His father spoke joyfully and turned to leave.
He glanced at his younger brother still squatting by the bookshelf and reading a book and then turned his head and shouted, "Purple Jade, come over and help!"
"Howl! (๑oั╰╯oั๑)"
Ah Bai, I"m here; what"s the matter?
The cub stopped playing with its tail and trotted over in response, looking so irresistibly cute.
"Come help me plant the Purple Sparrow Tea Tree; these fruits will be made into energy medicinal cakes for you in a while." Su Bai took out the tree and examined it. It had been pulled out for a while now and was a little withered.
He went to the backyard and found a round flowerbed. The Little Tyrant followed it and unleashed its spiritual power to dig out the soil inside.
Su Bai opened the transparent cube box in his hand and introduced strands of colored soil, which resembled fine sand, into it.
This was a specially formulated spiritual soil by Hou Lan for planting the Purple Sparrow Tea Tree and contained all the nutrients the tree needed.
"Okay, watch me."
After filling the flower bed halfway, Su Bai reached out and dug a small hole in the spiritual soil. He planted the tree in it and then filled the flowerbed with the remaining soil.
"Hing! (* ̄) ̄*)"
Ah Bai, look at what I can do!
The Little White Fox opened its mouth and burst forth with spiritual power, which condensed into a dark cloud on the flowerbed, causing light rain to fall.
"Good job!" He praised it.
This was the Rain Dance skill, which had been used by a monster he encountered one morning inside the Chinese Redbud Wilderness if he remembered correctly. He did not expect the baby fox to learn it after seeing it once; it was so impressive.
"Howl! (๑oั╰╯oั๑)"
Purple Jade extended its paws and unleashed green spiritual power to help the Purple Sparrow Tea Tree take roots quickly. The tree, which was originally a little wilted, became green instantly.
Gazing at the tree"s four fruits, the Little Tyrant started drooling. They smell delicious. Ah Bai, it"s really torture to ask me to endure and not eat.
"Okay, mission accomplished. Let"s go back; I"ll make medicinal cakes with this tree"s fruits for you guys."
Smiling, he caressed his pets. One was cuter than the other.
Upon hearing this, the trio"s eyes shone brightly as they followed him in a daze.
Su Bai cleaned the four tea fruits and used the new semi-automatic machine to bake medicinal cakes.
He then released the little dragon and fed all his pets one by one.
"Roar!"
The cub finished its energy medicinal cake in one bite and licked Su Bai"s fingers.
It did not have any big reactions after eating the medicinal cake a Purple Sparrow Tea Fruit because the content was not much. Moreover, it would not understand the profound meaning and law right away.
Soon, they became clear of the profound principles in their subconsciousness.
Su Bai turned around and was about to lie down and rest when a sudden surge of spiritual power came from behind him.
Looking back, he saw an illusory vortex of spiritual power revolving around the Mewling Fox before it slowly contracted.
It had broken through a mid-level servant and had entered its growth period.
"Hing!"
The baby fox spun around happily.
"It was about time you advanced."
Su Bai shook his head and chuckled. The advancement of the Little White Fox was as expected. As it was born nearly a month ago, it should have advanced long ago.
"I"ll give you a reward this evening; it"ll be distributed with your dinner." He picked it up and caressed it.
He then took out a book and lay on the recliner to read it. His master"s books were rather interesting.
"Big bro, these books of yours are really treasures. Let me borrow this one; I"ll return it to you another day."
In the evening, Su Yue got up while still holding an unfinished book in his hand.
"You can read any of the books here and feel free to use the equipment as well. This is the key to the laboratory."
Su Bai took out a key and threw it to his younger brother. The latter was talented but lacked professional skills and equipment. Since he had these, he naturally would not be stingy.
"Thank you, big bro!"
Su Yue hugged the other fiercely, feeling so lucky to have a brother like him.
