Chapter 347 - 206: Tao En Became a Grandmaster

Chapter 347: Chapter 206: Tao En Became a Grandmaster

Only when they could explore a Fourth Level Secret Realm and raise its Secret Realm Exploration Level to over sixty percent would they become the owners of that Secret Realm.

Only by mining the resources within a Fourth Level Secret Realm could they amass great wealth.

Because he knew that Celestial Destiny Seekers required far more resources than ordinary Guardian Beast Masters.

Star Night had always been helping the Celestial Destiny Seekers in Starlight City, not just by protecting them with his power, but also by providing resources.

"Wei Re, Jing Shui, I have one hundred thousand Celestial Destiny Points here. I can lend each of you fifty thousand for now."

Lin Zhuo and Wen Tao looked at Star Night gratefully, but they both declined his offer.

In truth, the main problem for Wen Tao and Lin Zhuo at the moment wasn’t a lack of resources.

Wen Tao had been developing his own faction, which primarily focused on commerce.

At a minimum, it earned him several billion Federation Coins each year.

Wen Tao kept his subordinates under extremely tight control, using a Soul Contracting Gu Mother to command each one.

This made his faction a monolithic and impenetrable force.

As for Lin Zhuo, although she hadn’t built a faction like Wen Tao, she was the administrator of the largest "fujoshi" forum in the entire Xin Xia Federation, "Absolute Love Poppy."

The Absolute Love Poppy forum covered an extremely wide range of topics, featuring serialized novels, short dramas, movies, and TV series.

The merchandise from these popular series alone generated an enormous income.

As the administrator of Absolute Love Poppy, Lin Zhuo’s annual income was much higher than that of Wen Tao, who was focused on developing his faction.

But no matter how much they earned, it wasn’t enough to hire a Five-finger Creator to continuously formulate Potions for them.

Indeed, for Lin Zhuo’s Crown of the Sun, an Elemental Type plant Guardian Beast, and Wen Tao’s Biluo Spring Dragon, an Elemental Type Dragon Species Guardian Beast, advancing their Bloodlines was more difficult than for an ordinary Order Beast.

The fact that Tao En had become a Six-finger Creator had not yet been publicly announced.

Right now, besides Zhong Yi, Zhao Kai, Wu Qing, and the two Five-finger Creators Tao En had summoned to Starlight City, no one else should know that Tao En had become a Six-finger Creator.

After all, in everyone else’s mind, Tao En’s damaged soul had only just been healed, and he had only just recovered to the level of a Five-finger Peak Creator.

No one would have ever imagined that in less than half a month, Tao En would become a Six-finger Creator in a single leap.

Zhong Yi did not intend to hide this matter from Star Night, Wen Tao, and Lin Zhuo.

"Brother Tao, didn’t you say you wanted to have a Dragon Breath Potion formulated?"

"Grandmaster Tao En shouldn’t be too busy right now. If you want a Dragon Breath Potion, you can go to him."

"Sister Zhuo, if you need any Potions formulated, you can also ask Grandmaster Tao En for help."

"Before exploring the Fourth Level Secret Realm, it’s best to raise your strength to the Immortal Tier and form a Rule Purity Body. That will give you a much better chance."

"Once you reach the Immortal Tier, you can go all out when exploring the Fourth Level Secret Realm without fearing damage to your Origin."

"Before I head to Fengjiang City, if any of you or your Guardian Beasts get injured, I can heal you as soon as you exit the Secret Realm."

"And if I’m already in Fengjiang City, you can just make a trip there to get healed."

"The Xin Xia Federation has clear regulations on resource allocation. For safety, you can explore the Fourth Level Secret Realms outside Fengjiang City."

"According to those regulations, the first owner of a Secret Realm to reach a sixty percent Secret Realm Exploration Level is entitled to all the resources within it."

The first half of Zhong Yi’s speech stunned Star Night, Jin Cai, Wen Tao, and Lin Zhuo.

Dragon Breath Potion was a Sixth Level Potion, and Zhong Yi had only just acquired its main ingredient, the Dragon Blood Rose, at the Dragon Soaring Association event in Longya City.

Zhong Yi had told Wen Tao to find "Grandmaster Tao En" to formulate the Potion. The title "Grandmaster" was a very high honor.

Just as Celestial Destiny Seekers were addressed as "Lord," only Six-finger Creators were qualified to be called Grandmaster.

Currently, in the Xin Xia Federation, only six Creators could bear the title of Grandmaster.

For Zhong Yi to say this, while clearly knowing the rules, meant there was only one possibility.

Tao En had become a genuine, bona fide Six-finger Creator!

The fact that Tao En had smoothly advanced his Creator Tier right after his damaged soul was restored left Star Night, Lin Zhuo, and the others not just shocked, but absolutely thrilled!

Starlight City finally had a Six-finger Creator to hold down the fort!

And this Six-finger Creator wasn’t a freelancer; he was one of Zhong Yi’s own people.

For someone like Star Night, whose power had already reached the level of the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations, this was still an extremely beneficial development.

Jin Cai’s eyes also lit up. Zhong Yi was not a stingy person.

From now on, the Celestial Destiny Seekers of Starlight City would have a channel for obtaining Sixth Level Potions.

The second half of Zhong Yi’s words, though directed at Lin Zhuo and Wen Tao, warmed the hearts of everyone present, including Star Night and Jin Cai.

With Zhong Yi’s assurance, Lin Zhuo and Wen Tao felt incredibly relieved.

The boss units in Secret Realms were territorial. As long as you escaped their territory, they wouldn’t press their advantage and pursue you.

Once Wen Tao and Lin Zhuo’s strength reached the Immortal Tier, the regular and elite units in a Fourth Level Secret Realm would pose little threat to them.

But when fighting without holding back, injuries were inevitable.

With Zhong Yi around, the two of them could even go all out against a boss creature.

Otherwise, fearing that the Origins of their Order Beasts and other Contracted Guardian Beasts would be damaged, Wen Tao and Lin Zhuo would never dare to fight a boss creature to the death.

This had previously made it very difficult for them to obtain Divine Origin Value.

With Zhong Yi as a reliable medical safety net, Wen Tao and Lin Zhuo could start thinking about clearing Secret Realms with one hundred percent completion!

Star Night understood the implication of Zhong Yi’s words but still asked cautiously.

"Xiaoyi, has Master Tao En already successfully formulated the Fire Dragon Potion?"

Hearing this, Zhong Yi nodded and said.

"That’s right. In fact, long before Grandmaster Tao En’s soul was injured, he had already formulated a bottle of Fire Dragon Potion."

"With the experience he accumulated over the past decade or so, now that his soul is restored, Grandmaster Tao En can mass-produce Fire Dragon Potions."

"Recently, Grandmaster Tao En has started researching how to formulate other types of Sixth Level Potions."

Upon hearing Zhong Yi’s words, Star Night was excited, but his expression also turned a little strange.

Star Night knew more than others about the secrets of Longya City.

Although the Dragon Emperor had left Longya City to join the Royal Capital...

...in reality, Longya City had not escaped his control.

The Dragon Emperor had two Six-finger Creators by his side, which made him rather indifferent toward Five-finger Creators.

Even Five-finger Peak Creators were no exception.

Otherwise, even with the enmity between Tao En and Cao Xing’an, the Longya City authorities would have long since found ways to resolve their feud.

’People operate on relationships, and hatred is just another form of that.’

If the Celestial Destiny Seekers of Longya City had truly taken this task seriously, they would have certainly succeeded.

Then, even if Tao En and Cao Xing’an still didn’t get along, Longya City would at least be guaranteed to have two Five-finger Peak Creators.

Furthermore, these two Five-finger Peak Creators would have been able to keep each other in check.

This would prevent a situation where the two of them ganged up together.

For the development of a Heroic City, this would not have been a bad thing.

But unfortunately, the people of Longya City—or rather, the Dragon Emperor—did not do so.

After Tao En’s incident, the Longya City authorities didn’t even offer him much help.

The Xin Xia Federation has quite a few Healers who specialize in treating souls, yet the Longya City authorities didn’t help Tao En search far and wide for a famous doctor.

Let alone the current batch of Celestial Destiny Seekers in Longya City led by the Red Dragon, even the Dragon Emperor himself would surely be filled with regret if he knew Tao En had become a Six-finger Creator.

Star Night didn’t see Tao En becoming a Six-finger Creator as Zhong Yi’s lucky opportunity.

On the contrary, Star Night felt that rather than being Zhong Yi’s opportunity, it was Tao En’s.

Without Zhong Yi, Tao En would have at most wasted away in Longya City for another two years before Cao Xing’an would have inevitably made a move against him.
