Crazy! Are You Really A Beast Tamer?

"Sister Wan, if Senior Lendai is extending an invitation, then of course I have time. I shall go out to meet Senior Lendai immediately!"

The communication from Legend Butterfly was confidential, so Lendai, by She Wan's side, was unclear whether Fang Mu would agree to meet her, let alone whether she could persuade Saint Creator Qixing to enhance her bloodline after the meeting.

The relationship between humans and the Sea Clan had been relatively harmonious over the years, yet the large-scale encroachment of human beings on the resources of the Sea Clan did indeed provoke retaliation.

However, these were minor conflicts and frictions, none escalating to the point of opposition between the two major powers.

But standing between two starkly different races, the task of persuading Saint Creator Qixing to help oneself was destined to be difficult.

For Qixing would surely be aware that enhancing her bloodline would enable her to grow stronger, effectively boosting the top combat power of the Sea Clan.

Lendai had been continuously pondering in her heart how exactly to convince Qixing, experiencing a nervousness and restlessness she had not felt for hundreds of years.

Seeing Fang Mu emerging from the palace interior, Lendai's nervousness deepened.

Mermaids pursued the improvement of their bloodlines even more intensely than the pursuit of longevity; Fang Mu approached, smiling at Lendai, revealing a set of small, white teeth as he greeted her.

"Good day, Senior Lendai. Have you collected another batch of Extraterrestrial Embryos on your side?"

"I still have some Spirit Capturing Boxes on hand. If it's not enough, I can provide more for you."

The pace at which the Han Yang Empire collected Extraterrestrial Embryos was extremely fast. In just one day, the people of the Han Yang Empire had delivered two batches to Fang Mu, filling up thirty whole Spirit Capturing Boxes.

It was far more than the first batch provided by the Ten-thousand Nations Federation, including two S-rank Extraterrestrial Embryos.

These two S-rank Embryos both had cultivation value, but their environmental pollution was much more severe.

As the King of the Han Yang Empire, it was certainly not convenient for Lendai to discuss cooperation with Fang Mu there.

"The transportation of the Extraterrestrial Embryos is overseen by Longze. Currently, only about twenty percent of the collection work is complete—those Spirit Capturing Boxes are definitely not enough."

"If you have any spare Spirit Capturing Boxes, it would be most appreciated!"

"I will arrange for someone to take over the exchange later. The reason I'm here now is to make a personal request," Fang Mu said, his speculation growing more certain.

Despite knowing what Lendai wanted from him, Fang Mu showed a look of surprise on his face.

"If that's the case, Senior Lendai, perhaps we could talk inside."

"Whatever assistance I can provide, I will certainly not shirk it," Fang Mu expressed willingly.

Lendai noticed the look of surprise on Fang Mu's face.

The unexpected expression on Fang Mu's face brought a feeling of joy to Lendai's heart.

That expression on Fang Mu's face suggested that the two Mermaid Scales were prepared by Qixing for her, greatly increasing the likelihood of a successful transaction with Qixing.

Lendai was also pleased with Fang Mu's performance, as certainly, a human who had only lived for a decade or so could not be of much help.

It was enough for Fang Mu to merely agree to communicate her message to Qixing.

Fang Mu's attitude made it clear that he would definitely assist her in communicating with Qixing.

The current situation left Lendai unable to contact Qixing directly; she had to rely on Fang Mu, the sole communication channel.

Without hesitation, Lendai brought out the Ocean Spirit Marrow she had prepared in advance and handed it to Fang Mu.

At the moment Fang Mu took the Ocean Spirit Marrow, dense water vapor engulfed at least two square kilometers of the sea area.

All creatures within this sea area could feel the nourishment of the Water Element.

Fang Mu had already identified the blue soft crystal through the Eye of Omniscience. This blue soft crystal, known as the Ocean Spirit Marrow, could grant any creature the attribute of water.

Even human Beast Masters could utilize the Ocean Spirit Marrow.

Nonetheless, the true purpose of the Ocean Spirit Marrow was to strengthen those Elemental Spirits linked to the Water Element.

In Fang Mu's hands, the most compatible with the Ocean Spirit Marrow were the Sea Flame Twins, who had evolved into pure Elves.

Although the Sea Flame Twins appeared to be a pair of dual-element Elves, in truth, they had only one source of energy: the Water Elemental Energy.

The Sea Flame Twins' Fire Elemental Energy was granted as an exclusive trait, transformed entirely from Water Elemental Energy.

Using the Ocean Spirit Marrow to strengthen the Sea Flame Twins would not only prevent an imbalance of the Water Fire energy within them but would also grant their foundation a tremendous boost!

This Ocean Spirit Marrow was of an extremely high grade, something Fang Mu had never encountered before!

Lian Dai had really gone all out to facilitate cooperation with him!

Fang Mu was very appreciative of Lian Dai's approach, which indicated that Lian Dai herself was not a miserly person.

This gave meaning to the cooperation between Fang Mu and Lian Dai.

Fang Mu didn't want to aid Lian Dai in enhancing her bloodline only to find that he couldn't get the benefits he wanted from her in the end.

Fang Mu did not immediately accept the Ocean Spirit Marrow but instead looked up at Lian Dai and said sincerely,

"Lian Dai senior, I know the spiritual material you are offering me must be extraordinarily expensive, and as a junior, it really isn't right for me to accept such a thing!"

"Please forgive me, Lian Dai senior!"

Fang Mu was well aware that this was in keeping with the dignity of a disciple of a Saint Creator.

If he had directly accepted the Ocean Spirit Marrow from Lian Dai, he would have appeared too rash, and it would seem that he was not living up to Saint Creator Qixing's esteem for him.

Even though Fang Mu now had a strong foundation, there were times when he still needed to play a part!

If his behavior appeared improper, it would not only risk arousing Lian Dai's suspicions, but also prevent the major figures of the Sea Clan from choosing to interact with him!

Lian Dai glanced at She Wan and the few maids following her, and with a lift of her hand, a stream of water sent Fang Mu and Lian Dai into the palace interior.

Fang Mu remained extremely calm, as Lian Dai used her aura to shield the palace, preventing outsiders from probing what was inside.

When alone with Fang Mu, Lian Dai dropped her pretense.

"To be frank, I have a matter for which I would like to ask for Master Qixing's assistance," she said.

"The spiritual material I'm giving you is called the Ocean Spirit Marrow, a rare treasure throughout the entire sea area."

"I am giving it to you in the hope that you could convey a message to Master Qixing, so that I may have an opportunity to communicate with him!"

Of course, Lian Dai would not directly speak to Fang Mu about something like aiding her in enhancing her bloodline; it was more convenient for her to face Qixing and discuss the transaction directly with him.

Fang Mu, upon hearing this, still did not accept the Ocean Spirit Marrow and earnestly said to Lian Dai,

"Lian Dai senior, I need to explain a situation to you. My master has been in seclusion, and the only reason he would emerge in haste is because he has taken on the important task of helping humans and the Sea Clan cleanse the Extraterrestrial Embryos."

"He will not meet with anyone, and he has already informed me of this. For me to convey such a message to my master is rather difficult for me!"

"If it were convenient for my master, he wouldn't have sent a junior like me to the Sea Clan!"

"If you truly have an urgent matter for my master, I can convey the message for you."

Lian Dai did not understand the circumstances Fang Mu had been creating for Qixing all this time; it was necessary for Fang Mu to make things clear to her in advance.

If Lian Dai insisted on seeing Qixing, then the cooperation was doomed to fail!

Lian Dai did not speak for a long while, processing Fang Mu's words in her heart.

A Saint Creator of the human race being in seclusion meant only one possibility: a breakthrough in abilities was imminent.

Qixing had chosen to prioritize the safety of humans above their own, forced to end his seclusion to deal with the aftermath of this tide.

In such circumstances, even if Fang Mu did convey the message to Qixing, it would likely only annoy him.

It was Qixing who, through Fang Mu, had delivered the two Mermaid Scales to her; therefore, she should also be able to make requests through Fang Mu, the junior.

However, communicating indirectly through another person could easily lead to problems; how smoothly she could communicate with Qixing depended entirely on how Fang Mu would convey the message.

With this in mind, Lian Dai insisted on pushing the Ocean Spirit Marrow into Fang Mu's hands, saying to him,

"Before I ask your master for help, I would like to ask you for one first!"
