Beast Taming Patrol - Chapter 613
Chapter 613: Chapter 217 Immortal Phoenix Sect’s Directly Governed Empire (Request for Monthly Pass)_3
“`
“Indeed.” Lin Su nodded slightly.
“To be frank, four Beast Tamers from our Golden Sun Alliance went there at the time, each spending ten thousand Mixed Element Stones to purchase your Secret Technique. After returning, they shared the technique with all Beast Tamers within our alliance,” Jin Yulong said, his eyes carrying a hint of profound meaning. “Upon learning of this, I punished them, and this sum of four hundred and sixty thousand is the compensation fee.”
Compensation fee for Guardian Beast Co-operation?
Lin Su was stunned.
What did this amount to?
It was like reading a pirated novel and then voluntarily paying to subscribe to the legitimate version again.
Even if the Golden Sun Alliance wanted to show goodwill, wasn’t the cost too high?
This was not just over forty thousand; it was over four hundred thousand Mixed Element Stones.
No, showing goodwill was probably only part of it.
Lin Su looked deeply at Jin Yulong, the first to react.
While extending his goodwill, this fellow was also demonstrating his strength.
His words hinted that there were fifty Beast Tamers in the Golden Sun Alliance.
Then the number of all the strong members must have already surpassed three hundred.
With such a huge force, even Lin Su would find it difficult to contend with.
Pulling off such a move meant that if one wanted to offend the Golden Sun Alliance, they would have to weigh their options carefully.
However…
Jin Yulong probably didn’t know that he had already been offended.
“Then I won’t be polite,” Lin Su said after a moment’s pondering, and received the Space Ring.
“Now, Brother Lin must be the wealthiest person on the battlefield of prodigies,” Jin Yulong commented, watching Lin Su accept the Space Ring, a flicker in his eyes. “Do you have time to go to the auction area in the trading district to participate in tonight’s auction event?”
Auction event?
A flicker passed through Lin Su’s eyes.
Compared with the trading district of Silver City, the trading district of Golden City was much larger in scale, not only offering the freedom of regular stalls but also the option to participate in auctions at the auction house.
And the auction house was managed and overseen by Disciples sent down from senior sects.
This could be considered the only place in the battlefield of prodigies where one could encounter Disciples from senior sects.
Even if one didn’t bid for anything, it would be nice to experience the elegance of Disciples from senior sects.
Lin Su was indeed interested, and he gave a slight nod immediately, “Good.”
“Then I’ll see you tonight. I won’t bother little brother Lin Su any further,” Jin Yulong chuckled, turned around, and left. One person followed him closely, obviously having come together.
Lin Su’s gaze turned to the last remaining person, his face showing a bit of curiosity, “Aren’t you with the Golden Sun Alliance?”
She was a delicate-looking lady in a blue dress, who shook her head slightly at this, “I’m not with them; it just so happens we came at the same time.”
She extended a hand, smiling faintly, “From the Phoenix Flame Empire, Qi Yu.”
Lin Su instinctively extended his hand and grasped hers lightly, quickly separating.
His expression changed slightly, a look of surprise appearing on his face.
Because, as he shook hands with Qi Yu, Lu Ziye next to him sudden conveyed a piece of intelligence to him through a forceful transmission,
The Phoenix Flame Empire, one of the directly affiliated imperial powers of the Immortal Phoenix Sect.
“May I know your purpose for coming here?” Lin Su cleared his throat, certain ideas suddenly emerging in his mind, and he couldn’t help but inquire.
“`
“It’s quite a coincidence,” Qi Yu said with a slight smile, tugging at her lips. “My reason for being here is somewhat similar to Jin Yulong’s.”
She gently took out a Space Ring from her sleeve and placed it in front of Lin Su, “Here contains six hundred thousand Mixed Element Stones, the fees for sixty instances of Guardian Beast Co-operation.”
With a smile, she added, “We’ve already acquired the method from another place, consider it like getting on the bus first and then buying a ticket.”
Six hundred thousand?!
Lin Su took a deep breath.
He wasn’t surprised by the large number of Mixed Element Stones.
What astonished him was the Phoenix Flame Empire before his eyes, that it had so many Beast Tamers.
When calculated, wouldn’t the number of prodigies in the Phoenix Flame Empire be even greater than that of the Golden Sun Alliance?!
As expected of an empire directly governed by the Immortal Phoenix Sect, are they that strong?
Deducing what Lin Su might be thinking from his expression, Qi Yu chuckled, “Brother Lin has misunderstood; our Phoenix Flame Empire doesn’t have that many powerhouses. There are only one hundred and twenty spots after all.”
“Then why are there sixty Beast Tamers?” Lin Su couldn’t help but ask.
“Our Phoenix Flame Empire is a directly governed empire of the Immortal Phoenix Sect,” Qi Yu said, looking at Lin Su with a meaningful gaze. “Normally, the entry spots for a kingdom are allocated based on a ratio of five martial arts powerhouses to one Beast Tamer, but this is not so for the empires directly under the six great Upper Sects.”
“In the other five directly governed empires of the Upper Sects, there are almost no Beast Tamers. In contrast, in the directly governed empire of the Immortal Phoenix Sect, there will be more Beast Tamers, almost half.”
“With such an allocation of spots, wouldn’t the martial arts powerhouses in your country have objections?” Lin Su couldn’t help but be curious.
“The biggest characteristic of the Immortal Phoenix Sect’s directly governed empire is the high status of Beast Tamers within the empire.” Qi Yu explained with a smile. “In our Phoenix Flame Empire, the status of Beast Tamers is elevated above that of martial arts powerhouses. Naturally, they would have no objections.”
So that’s how it is.
But thinking about it, it makes sense.
Although a martial arts powerhouse of the same level could defeat a Beast Tamer.
With the support of an Upper Sect, it is only natural that Beast Tamers in a directly governed empire would have an advantage and hold a higher status than martial arts powerhouses.
“Besides delivering the Mixed Element Stones to Brother Lin, I have another purpose for being here,” Qi Yu said with a beaming smile, taking out a piece of paper from the Space Ring. “I have some questions regarding Guardian Beast Co-operation that I don’t entirely understand, and I would like your guidance.”
“No problem,” Lin Su nodded, looked over the questions Qi Yu had marked, and explained them to her one by one.
Seeing that she exhibited goodwill, and also feeling some favorable impression towards the directly governed empire of the Immortal Phoenix Sect, Lin Su naturally was not stingy with his knowledge.
A short while later, Qi Yu’s questions had been answered.
With a smile on her face, she stood up, “Then, I won’t disturb Brother Lin any longer.”
“Take care,” Lin Su replied with a smile.
Leaving an elegant silhouette behind, Qi Yu walked step by step out of the ancient house. Just as she was about to step out of the old house, she suddenly turned her head to look at Lin Su, “Brother Lin, the original Guardian Disciple of the Holy Light City auction house came from the Hunyuan Taoist Sect.”
Lin Su’s eyebrows rose slightly.
The Hunyuan Taoist Sect, one of the six great Upper Sects.
The Mixed Element Stones of the battlefield of prodigies were their doing.

With a slight smile on her lips, Qi Yu continued, “Due to the opening of the Luck Blessing Pool being imminent and numerous prodigies gathering here, starting from today, there will be an additional Guardian Disciple.”
“The added Disciple is from the Immortal Phoenix Sect.”
Their eyes met, and Qi Yu’s gaze held a mysterious sparkle as she looked at the suddenly bright eyes of Lin Su.
“That Immortal Phoenix Sect disciple is my sister.”
After saying this, Qi Yu turned and left the ancient house.
