"If you believe what’s in the video, you’ll need to bring the dragon-slaying weapon against the Blood Lotus Fla Flood Dragon, a speed-restricting item against the Fla White Horse, and an item against the Curse Crow’s curses. But if Li Cunxu doesn’t send them out, wouldn’t you be wasting a weapon and two items?"
"Haha~ That sounds logical on the surface, but actually, it’s nonsense. Li Cunxu didn’t use those specialized items and weapons against his previous few opponents because they couldn’t even defeat the first pet beast he sent out. If they had defeated it, Li Cunxu would definitely send out these pet beasts later, and at that ti, the weapon and items would certainly co in handy. I hope the opponents in the next match won’t be misled by this."
Just as Li Cunxu walked out of the arena, a shifty-looking old man ca running over with a smile.
This old man was a Horse Fanatic, pestering Li Cunxu these days to buy his pet beast, the Fla White Horse, offering a Heart of the King as the price.
The Heart of the King, a king-level legendary quality resource, can increase the breakthrough probability to king level by thirty percent.
Li Cunxu was very skeptical about this. Could an old man who isn’t even a Beast Master produce a Heart of the King?
The Horse Fanatic old man chuckled and said, "Young man, don’t doubt that I can’t produce a Heart of the King."
The old man actually took out a gem that looked strikingly similar to a Heart of the King.
A bright yellow gem with a crown inside it.
Li Cunxu looked, and a question mark appeared on the panel, which couldn’t identify things two major levels higher than his own.
Could this really be a Heart of the King?
Li Cunxu was shocked. Who exactly was this old man? Casually producing a Heart of the King.
The Heart of the King, even if it was taken out by the Saint Lotus Li Family, would cause collective heartbreak.
The importance of the Heart of the King is akin to a Nascent Soul Pill in the Cultivation World that helps Golden Core Cultivators break through to the Nascent Soul Stage.
"So, what do you think? Will you sell the horse?"
"No."
Li Cunxu replied without a mont’s consideration.
"How about two Hearts of the King?" the old man asked again.
Li Cunxu replied, "No."
"Then three..."
"No matter how many Hearts of the King, I won’t sell," Li Cunxu said. "If I win the Golden Tournant, I’ll have golden fortune. With that golden fortune, I won’t need your Heart of the King, will I?"
The old man said, "You will. You’ve cultivated the Vast Sea ditation Technique, making your ntal sea ten tis larger than usual. While others might need one golden fortune, you’ll need at least ten, and the champion’s reward for the Golden Tournant is three golden fortunes, which won’t support your breakthrough to king level."
"Who exactly are you? How did you know I cultivated the Vast Sea ditation Technique?"
Li Cunxu was stunned. From his panel, this old man looked like a regular person who hadn’t even contracted a beast.
As for the old man’s words, Li Cunxu was half-convinced.
The old man stroked his beard and said mysteriously, "I created the Vast Sea ditation Technique, so of course, I understand."
"So it was you, the wretched creator of the Vast Sea ditation Technique! Studying your technique has brought nothing but eight generations of bad luck, let alone convincing to sell you the horse."
Li Cunxu summoned the Fla White Horse, mounted it, and rode off.
The old man, seeing the Fla White Horse, was captivated by its divine appearance and montarily forgot to stop Li Cunxu.
"Hey, hey, hey! I haven’t had enough of a look yet, I can offer more money, how about four Hearts of the King?"
Li Cunxu paused, and the old man thought Li Cunxu had agreed and jogged after him.
But it wasn’t Li Cunxu’s heart that made him stop; soone was blocking his way ahead.
The secretary of the Golden King said, "Hello, please co with to et the Golden King."
Li Cunxu squinted slightly and glanced back at the old man. Earlier, when the secretary saw the old man, he slightly bent in respect.
This old man was indeed no ordinary person.
However, no matter how extraordinary, wanting to sell the Fla White Horse is impossible.
Li Cunxu searched online for the creator of the Vast Sea ditation Technique but found nothing.
Li Cunxu gave up searching and directly asked the secretary, "You seem to know that old man, what’s his identity?"
The secretary looked a bit troubled and said, "That gentleman has a special identity. It’s not sothing I can disclose."
Li Cunxu said, "I’m helping you solve such a big problem, and you can’t even offer this little help in return?"
The secretary said seriously, "Do you really have a solution?"
"The fragnt of the Emperor’s Artifact: Seven-seed Gourd."
Li Cunxu revealed more information, giving the secretary more confidence.
The secretary looked around, ensuring no one was around, and whispered, "He is a split personality of the Mad King..."
Upon hearing the na, Li Cunxu understood the whole story and thought to himself.
"So it’s him, no wonder, no wonder!"
The Mad King, a Venerable King level powerhouse, with combat strength close to the Monarch level, was a legend in the Beast Taming Realm. Initially, he was a martial arts fanatic and a martial artist genius, later becoming a Martial Arts King. But in the Divine Beast World, martial artists were severely weakened, making it challenging to defeat Beast Masters of the sa level.
Once, the Mad King was severely defeated by a genius Beast Master, and that battle shattered his martial heart. He secluded himself for a month, during which he realized a mighty principle – if you can’t beat them, join them.
Thus, the Mad King also beca a Beast Master, and with his obsession, he advanced quickly on the path of beast taming, eventually reaching the Venerable King level.
Perhaps the Mad King’s talent threatened the Four Evil Gods Sects, as a Divine Son laid an ambush for him. In that battle, the Divine Son fled defeated, but the Mad King suffered too, poisoned by the Divine Son, and his personality split severely.
To alleviate the effects of his split personality, he channeled the fragnted personalities into the skill shared from pet beasts, [True Clone].
All these personalities shared the Mad King’s obsession, but each had different fixations: so on chess, so on food, so on cars, so on horses...
The one Li Cunxu encountered was likely the horse-obsessed Horse Fanatic.
Lost in thought, he found himself at the Golden King’s office.
In the Golden City, atop the tallest skyscraper.
The Golden King said, "Can you solve the issue of the magic contamination in the Golden Secret Realm?"
"Yes, let demonstrate. Please give a piece of magic-contaminated gold."
Li Cunxu took out a gold-jade gourd.
The fragnt of the Emperor’s Artifact, the gourd—two elents combined. The Golden King roughly guessed the gourd’s origin but couldn’t be certain.
"Is this the gourd grown from a yellow-seed gourd?"
"Yes, it’s a gold-jade gourd from a yellow-seed gourd."
The Golden King was sowhat envious of Li Cunxu’s fortune, "You’re really lucky! My orange-seed gourd’s been turned this way and that for years and hasn’t produced anything."
The seed gourds need to be given away after a year, but later, the recipient can return the seed gourd and continue, repeating between two people.
However, no one who used this thod has managed to grow a seed gourd.
Li Cunxu was delighted to have information about an orange-seed gourd.
Li Cunxu knew where the purple-seed gourd was but not the other two.
"Is the orange-seed gourd still with you?"
"It is, stored in my treasury."
"Do you want it?"
"I do."
"You can have it, as long as you solve the magic contamination issue in the Golden Secret Realm," the Golden King added, "After a year, if you haven’t grown anything from the orange-seed gourd, you’ll need to return it to ."
