Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand

Back at their residence, Lin Chen placed the book on the table, with Bai Ling joining him.

This book had no title but looked somewhat like a novel with strong immersion.

Simply put, it records how a person cultivates and achieves success against all odds.

There was a sentence that made Lin Chen smile wryly because it said:

"...Whether you believe it or not, luck is also a part of strength."

"Above immortals, there are True Immortals."

"But not everyone can step into the realm of True Immortals."

"The same goes for beasts; above Immortal Beasts, there are Chaos Immortal Beasts, but not every Immortal Beast has the opportunity to reach this level."

"I am very fortunate to be one of them because my luck is good enough."

Reading this, Lin Chen glanced at Bai Ling.

Setting aside whether this passage is true or not, his experiences were indeed somewhat absurd.

According to this, he opened the pathway to cultivation, breaking through three major realms in a year, and within three years, he entered the Immortal Path.

These few pages in Lin Chen's hand ended here, with the final part mentioning his attempt to enter the True Immortal Realm, but it cuts off abruptly.

After Lin Chen finished reading, he carefully flipped through it again, while Bai Ling curiously asked, "Do you think this is true?"

"The first part sounded reasonable, but the latter part was a bit far-fetched," Lin Chen said.

Upgrading should be step by step, and Lin Chen didn't consider himself a child of fate, but surely Bai Ling did.

This person of destiny would surely have better luck, but still, the speed of cultivation shouldn't be exaggerated to this extent, right?

Furthermore, from Taichu Origin to the present Celestial Beast Era, human cultivation history spans tens of thousands of years, and there's never been mention of a True Immortal Realm or Chaos Immortal Beast.

Closing the book, Bai Ling complained, "Wasn't that a waste of five thousand dollars?"

"Not necessarily." Lin Chen touched the book cover and said, "The material of this book is quite nice. As for the content, whether it's true or not doesn't really matter. Besides, we can't pursue cultivation now anyway."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ling scratched her head and said, "I suppose you're right."

After this small episode, Lin Chen and Bai Ling continued on their journey, leaving the city behind.

...

Time rushed by, and after two and a half months, Liu Gu and the others abandoned their search and returned to the Spirit Academy.

"Should have been captured, or..." Zhu Tong always felt distressed when he mentioned this.

With so much time passed, Zhu Tong also believed Lin Chen and the others faced grim odds.

The urgent task now was to track down those responsible.

Yu Xiu concurred, and he even planned to personally go to the Celestial Capital.

Although there was no evidence directly linking this incident to the Celestial Capital, any attack on Bai Ling must involve issues with the National Master's Institute.

However, everyone knew this issue might not be easily resolved because...

The evidence was too scarce.

Nonetheless, the Spirit Academy issued a major statement, declaring that Zhu Tong and others were attacked on the road, and this matter would not be left unresolved. Once the truth is uncovered, the Spirit Academy will exert all its strength for justice.

Meanwhile, Gu An, who was back at the Celestial Capital, saw this announcement from Ji Ru.

"Seems like it succeeded." Gu An squinted with a smile and asked, "Any movement from the National Master's Institute?"

"There hasn't been any action from the National Master's Institute so far," Ji Ru shook her head.

Gu An found it strange and said, "Could Bai Ling merely be a pawn of Zhong Nan?"

Ji Ru remained silent, as she had no place to comment on this matter.

Zhong Nan's actions were always mysterious, and many in the Celestial Capital couldn't fathom his motives.

It must be acknowledged that without Zhong Nan's sudden emergence, the Celestial Capital would be even more chaotic now.

But it was also due to Zhong Nan's overbearing nature that the Celestial Capital Power became increasingly dissatisfied with him.

"Has Li Xia returned?" Gu An asked again.

"According to my intelligence, Li Xia hasn't returned to the Celestial Capital," Ji Ru said. "Perhaps to avoid the spotlight or secretly returned, but at least Chen Zhiliu, who she took, has returned."

"Chen Zhiliu is back?!"

Gu An was surprised.

Based on the Spirit Academy's published case details, it was Chen Zhiliu who acted then.

Then Lin Chen and the others fled from the first scene. Gu An knew very well that with Li Xia's abilities, finding Lin Chen and the others wouldn't be a big problem.

But now, Chen Zhiliu returned, yet Li Xia was nowhere to be seen, making the situation puzzling.

....

Lin Chen and Bai Ling were getting closer to Ling Mountain, and their inner stress started to ease.

The matter had passed for quite a while now and surely had faded somewhat.

This period wasn't considered a hard time for the two; with Lin Chen around, Bai Ling enjoyed good food and drinks.

With Bai Ling's good constitution, maybe having eaten less gourmet food before due to illness, she seemed to eat well, finding everything delicious. Most importantly, no matter how much she ate, she wouldn't gain weight.

Lin Chen checked the map and said to Bai Ling, "It should take another seven days to reach the Spirit Academy. You know clearly what to say then, right?"

Bai Ling nodded.

Lin Chen instructed her not to reveal anything about his acquisition of the Dragon Transformation Skill.

Because the consequences of this matter were severe, not only posing a mortal threat to Lin Chen but also unfavorable for Zhong Nan.

"Hmm."

Bai Ling nodded strongly, keeping it in mind all these days. But this time, she not only nodded but also asked, "Is the Dragon Transformation Skill a kind of Immortal Technique? I saw Xiaobai transform at that time, and it was impressive."

Lin Chen pondered, initially reluctant to discuss, for if Zhong Nan were willing to teach her, she would inevitably become the future National Preceptor.
