Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Boundless holy light gushed out from the void, as if a sun was rising from the ground. If it weren’t for arrangements having been made ahead of time, the entirety of Midmorning City would have been illuminated with dazzling radiance.

Strange and unintelligible syllables came from between Dorelis’ lips as she chanted. Though no one could understand them, the holy light was like an army that received orders. It started to rumble, rapidly moving around. Like an unrestrained river, it continuously poured into the chicken overlord’s body.

Even though it was unconscious, one could see its body violently stiffen and almost shoot up. As for the chicken overlord’s ‘hard rod’, it actually rose and widened.

To put it in other words…it was like a man’s forehead was bulging with veins, with a fierce and vicious expression as if they were about to spout out blood.

And then the chicken overlord really did spout out blood. It wasn’t from that ‘hard rod’, but from all over its skin beneath its feathers. In an instant, numerous cracked wounds appeared and blood dyed its feathers red. It convulsed as if it would pass away at any moment.

Dorelis quickly withdrew her hand and the holy light dispersed. She turned around and said with an innocent expression, “You can’t blame me for this. You never told me that this chicken’s strength is of the fire attribute.”

She gave a quick explanation. The holy light might seem warm and temperate, but it was actually a type of yang power. Although this technique normally should have been able to help the chicken overlord, the strength within its body was in utter chaos right now and even the tiniest spark could set the prairie on fire.

This was no different from pouring oil onto a raging bonfire.

Qin Yu was also left speechless. He had no idea that this divine arts treatment had this kind of limit. He hurried forward and checked the chicken overlord’s condition. Luckily, this bastard was tough enough that it hadn’t died even in this state. It tenaciously hung onto life.

Moreover, perhaps because it had lost too much blood, the chaotic strength within its body had been divulged and its ‘hard rod’ had wilted down. Although it still appeared as if it could move around, it likely shouldn’t be able to cause any more trouble for now.

Could this be considered as having turned misfortune into a blessing?

But Dorelis’ words ruined Qin Yu’s mood. “This matter isn’t over yet. Although I am not to blame, I should still elaborate on the situation for you. Don’t look at the chicken’s current appearance and think that it is fine. The divine art I used just now has stimulated its heart demon. Before long, once it recovers a little, the heart demon will surely make a comeback. At that time it will become problematic.”

Qin Yu furrowed his eyebrows together. He suddenly thought that things had become troublesome.

He turned and asked Yun Die, “Do you have any good ideas?”

The Chaotic Sky Chronicle was an existence that only the two of them and the Dark Parliament knew about. To avoid any unnecessary problems, the fewer people that knew the better.

Yun Die nodded. “I indeed know a plan that should be useful. Teacher, have you ever heard of the Icesoul Jade Bed?”

“I haven’t. Tell me about it.”

Yun Die said, “In the legends, the Icesoul Jade Bed is a treasure found in a land of extreme cold. It has unknown origins and no one knows how it is refined. But, its effects are incomparably powerful. For instance, if a cultivator were to train on top of it, they could purify their heart. Not just that, but they could even temper their soul and consciousness and it provides the effect of strengthening one’s cultivation. In particular, for beast trainers it has the effect of awakening and inspiring the mind.

“But according to what I know, the Icesoul Jade Bed has another potent effect – that is to awaken the consciousness of the soul. With the chicken overlord’s current situation, its consciousness has been caught within its heart demon and it cannot free itself. But as long as it wakes up it shouldn’t be difficult to drive out the heart demon.”

Qin Yu’s eyes brightened. “Where is this Icesoul Jade Bed that you speak of?”

Yun Die glanced at Dorelis whose eyes were shining, “I have no idea. But I heard that many years ago, it was collected by a great figure in the Beast Trainer Alliance. After that, it hasn’t appeared since.”

Beast Trainer Alliance?

Qin Yu was no longer a newcomer to this world and had a certain understanding of things. If the Beast Trainer Alliance that Yun Die referred to wasn’t loosely organized and scattered all around, then it would be regarded as the strongest force in this world, with no one coming close!

Of course, even if this organization had numerous flaws, there hadn’t been anyone who dared to provoke them yet.

Qin Yu mulled over it. He immediately dispelled the idea of taking it by force. If so, then the only solution was to find a way to borrow it.

Sky Declaring Pavilion, Western Tomb, Dark Parliament…all three sides were colossuses on their own. If any one of them were to ask, it shouldn’t be difficult.

Qin Yu thought for a moment and called Si Yuwen over. He ordered him to check the chicken overlord and immediately report back if there were any problems.

The reasoning was simple. For something so disgraceful, the fewer people that knew about it the better. He hurried over to meet Midmorning City’s Senior Lin.

Of course, Qin Yu would give another excuse. For instance, that he needed the Icesoul Jade Bed to refresh his mind while preparing the medicine.

After all, according to what Yun Die said, this treasure was useful for a beast trainer.

Yun Die didn’t feel comfortable after being stared at by Dorelis. She turned around and walked away.

Behind her, Dorelis wasn’t angry at all. Rather, she rubbed her chin and hummed.

She suddenly discovered that Qin Yu’s young apprentice knew more than she should.

Moreover, with how cautious Qin Yu was, he didn’t doubt any of her words and believed her.

Tsk tsk, it seemed that this little girl Yun Die had some secret hidden within her body.

Dorelis’ eyes turned and she left, her pace unhurried.

Hehe!

Even your teacher is already mine. As for you love-crazed nymphomaniac, there is no way you can escape the palms of my hands!

There will always be a chance later.

…

With three large influences simultaneously moving, Qin Yu thought that there wouldn’t be any problems in obtaining the Icesoul Jade Bed. But, reality taught him a vivid lesson. Although it was determined that the Icesoul Jade Bed really was within the Beast Trainer Alliance, they refused to lend it and didn’t even give an explanation.

If this was only the Western Tomb, then Qin Yu would have suspected that Ji Xiangtian was playing tricks on him. But Sky Declaring Pavilion and the Dark Parliament also received the same answer. If so, this was the truth.

The question returned to the starting point. After confirming the news, Qin Yu asked Yun Die to use the Chaotic Sky Chronicle one more time. Perhaps because this was the only way or perhaps because her strength was lacking, the Chaotic Sky Chronicle only gave this method.

As Qin Yu was at a loss for what to do, another message arrived from the Dark Parliament. According to their insider information of the Beast Trainer Alliance, the reason they refused was because the Icesoul Jade Bed had been used as a burial gift and placed in the tomb of a high-level figure of the alliance.

The good news was that the tomb of this high-level figure was in a restricted area controlled by the Beast Trainer Alliance. And, this restricted area would be opening in the near future. However, if one wanted to go, they needed to obtain a certain entry token. And, this sort of token would be awarded to the top ten competitors of the Great Beast Trainer Tournament.

After expending some effort and clarifying the contents of this message, Qin Yu rubbed his temples. If he really couldn’t figure out another way, this might be his only choice.

The Dark Parliament gave him this news because they believed that with Qin Yu’s beast trainer skills, obtaining this entry token shouldn’t be difficult.

Dorelis had arrived late and hadn’t experienced the events of Dragon City. Although she heard what happened afterwards, hearing was far different from seeing the truth with one’s own eyes.

Seeing Qin Yu’s silence, she raised her eyebrows and said, “Don’t tell me you are really planning on participating in the Great Beast Trainer Tournament? This might be the first time I’ve come to this world, but I still know a little about it. With the level of skill required, it isn’t something you can just lie your way through!”

Yun Die finally found an opportunity. She chuckled out loud, her face full of pride. “My teacher is a genuine Beast Trainer Grandmaster. Looking at the entire Sky Declaring Pavilion…no, even if every influence beneath the heavens were to be included, there might not be anyone that can compare to his skills. The common person might think that there would be endless difficulties and hardships in attending the tournament and capturing a token, but to my teacher it is easy and simple.”

Dorelis was surprised. She looked at Yun Die and then at Qin Yu. “I never sensed the aura of a beast trainer from your body. Do you have other hidden secrets or are you just that good at concealing yourself?”

Qin Yu simply pretended that he didn’t hear her. When something concerned the little blue lamp’s existence, even if it was only a little bit, he wouldn’t speak another word about it.

Dorelis’ eyes sparkled. Her intuition told her that there were other facts behind this. But before she could think more about it, Yun Die pierced her with a few more words. Right now Yun Die wasn’t happy with Dorelis at all.

Seeing that Qin Yu wasn’t going to say anything, Dorelis looked at Yun Die and said, “Little girl, are you working so hard to correct Qin Yu’s name because you want to tell me how outstanding he is and to never let him go? Thank you, because that is indeed what I am planning to do!”

Yun Die immediately blushed red. She clenched her teeth and didn’t say another word. When it came to a battle of tongues, she couldn’t compete with Dorelis who had lived far longer.

Qin Yu ended the conflict between the two women. “I’ll try to find another way in the next two days. If there isn’t anything, then I will go to the Beast Trainer Alliance.”

Right now his only thought was to strengthen himself in the shortest time possible. If this matter didn’t involve the chicken overlord, Qin Yu absolutely wouldn’t waste his time on something like this.

But in the end he couldn’t just watch as this bastard died. With all things considered, they could be called old friends.

Of course, the chicken overlord’s unreliability was still exasperating and annoying.

Qin Yu noted this in the record books again. He would need double the interest back!
