Council Hall.
Only Ji Tianlu remained there alone.
Seeing Shen Changqing arrive, he asked directly, "Elder Shen, what brings you here today?"
"I want to see Defender Xun."
Shen Changqing stated his purpose.
Hearing this.
Ji Tianlu shook his head, "Elder Shen, you’re a bit late. Defender Xun already left Mountain-Breaking City yesterday to hunt down demon evil across various places."
"Uh—"
Shen Changqing was speechless.
He hadn’t expected Xun Qu to leave so quickly.
But on second thought.
It had been several days since they left the Heavenly Realm.
The other party leaving,
didn’t seem to be a problem either.
At this mont.
Ji Tianlu also noticed the Tiankui on Shen’s shoulder and couldn’t help saying, "That must be the Tiankui cub, right?"
"That’s right."
Shen Changqing nodded.
"These past few days, for so reason, it seems to be getting weaker and weaker. I originally wanted to ask Defender Xun to see if there was any way to resolve it, but I didn’t expect that Defender Xun had already left."
With Xun Qu nowhere to be found,
he could only look for records about fierce beast nurturing in the Demon-Subduing Division, hoping to find the cause.
As for a veterinarian,
that was the last resort.
After all, fierce beasts,
are not ordinary poultry.
Ji Tianlu studied Tiankui intently, frowning slightly: "Tiankui is a powerful fierce beast; at maturity, it’s at the Grandmaster Peak, with an imnsely strong bloodline—even as a cub, it’s not sothing an ordinary Body Tempering Realm can handle.
Normally, it shouldn’t be this frail."
Any fierce beast,
has exceptionally tenacious life force.
The bloodline speaks for itself.
It’s not sothing other wild beasts or poultry can compare to.
After thinking for a mont.
Ji Tianlu asked, "During this period, Elder Shen, did you perhaps feed it the wrong thing, leading to Tiankui’s current state?"
"Fed it the wrong thing?"
Shen Changqing was taken aback.
Then,
he recalled that since obtaining Tiankui, he hadn’t fed it anything at all.
Counting the days,
it had been about four or five days now.
Instantly,
Shen Changqing’s expression turned awkward: "May I ask, Defender Ji, what is best to feed a Tiankui?"
"—"
Ji Tianlu coughed lightly.
"Surely Elder Shen hasn’t never fed Tiankui anything, right? Although Tiankui is a fierce beast, every cub of a fierce beast needs sufficient nourishnt right after birth; blood food is absolutely essential.
If it goes unfed for a long ti, no matter how powerful the fierce beast, it will end up starving to death."
At this point,
he continued,
"Shen Changqing can find records about fierce beast nurturing in the Scripture Pavilion. I myself don’t know much about fierce beasts, so I can’t offer much advice."
"Thank you for the guidance. By the way, I brought back two Red Phosphorus horns from the Heavenly Realm, and since my weapon was destroyed, I’m looking for a craftsman to forge a new one. Does the Demon-Subduing Division have a suitable craftsman?"
"Red Phosphorus horns?"
Ji Tianlu looked at the object carried on Shen Changqing’s back and nodded slightly.
"Red Phosphorus is a powerful fierce beast; its horns are indeed excellent materials for forging divine weapons. Of course, there are skilled craftsn in the Demon-Subduing Division, but hiring them will cost so rit points."
"rit points are not a problem, as long as the weapon can be forged,"
Shen Changqing said.
For the average Demon Hunter, rit points are a big issue, but for him, as long as the amount isn’t massive, it’s manageable.
The demon evil aura collected in the Pure Spirit Jade Pendant hadn’t been exchanged in a long ti.
If he exchanged it all,
he would surely get a fair amount of rit points.
Ji Tianlu said, "The craftsn are within the Demon-Subduing Division as well. I’ll give you the address, just go over there directly."
"Thank you very much!"
——
After leaving the council hall,
Shen Changqing didn’t go to the craftsman first, but instead went straight to the Scripture Pavilion.
It’s worth ntioning,
every branch of the Demon-Subduing Division has a Scripture Pavilion.
The purpose,
is to provide all Demon Hunters with martial arts for cultivation.
Outside the Scripture Pavilion,
there was also a strong individual guarding it.
But such a strong individual was only in a relative sense.
In Shen Changqing’s eyes, the person was rely a typical Grandmaster Martial Artist.
Showing his identity token,
under the respectful gaze of the Grandmaster, he walked into the Scripture Pavilion.
At a glance,
he could see quite a few people reading books inside.
Looking around,
about ninety percent of them had weak auras, barely having stepped into the Body Tempering Realm; so hadn’t even reached that stage.
These people,
were obviously those who had only recently joined the Demon-Subduing Division.
Ignoring those people, Shen Changqing searched for what he needed.
Newcors arriving,
wouldn’t normally cause any commotion.
But,
when so people spotted the feeble-looking Tiankui slumped on his shoulder, they revealed curious looks.
Tiankui looked ordinary,
but those paired lumps on its back made it clear it was no regular beast.
However,
fierce beasts were completely off-limits to Probationary Demon Hunters.
So,
though the crowd was curious, they couldn’t discern the specifics.
After a few glances,
they retracted their eyes.
Despite their intrigue, they didn’t co forward to ask.
Approaching a stranger recklessly was a big taboo within the Demon-Subduing Division itself.
Even as just probationary Demon Hunters, this was the very first thing they learned upon joining.
Shen Changqing ignored those gazes.
With his divine sense, he searched the bookshelves for what he wanted.
As his spiritual system grew stronger,
his searching speed had improved greatly; there was no need for the slow, manual searching of ordinary people.
Sweeping with divine sense,
the nas of books on an entire shelf would appear directly in his sea of consciousness.
Nothing!
Nothing!
Still nothing!
Shen Changqing’s divine sense swept over bookshelf after bookshelf, his brows gradually furrowing.
Ji Tianlu had said there were books about fierce beasts in the Scripture Pavilion.
Books of this sort,
should be on the first floor.
The second floor and above primarily housed inner strength manuals and martial arts.
After a quarter of an hour,
Shen Changqing stopped in front of a shelf and drew out a book covered in dust.
Judging by the layer of dust on the cover,
it was clear that few people ever bothered with it.
Comprehensive Guide to Fierce Beasts Nurturing and Taming!
Out of nowhere,
a title flashed through his mind: Complete Guide to Postnatal Sow Care!
Shaking his head,
Shen Changqing opened the dusty cover and began reading.
"Although fierce beasts have various categories, in reality all fierce beasts share the sa requirents for nurturing and taming. Thus, the content of this book is not limited to a single kind of fierce beast, but is effective for all kinds."
The opening sentence,
imdiately caught his eye.
Then,
Shen Changqing flipped further ahead.
"Fierce beasts are bloodthirsty by nature. To ta a fierce beast, first you must possess formidable strength. The law of the jungle applies within the Human Clan, and even more so among fierce beasts.
Only the strong are qualified to ta fierce beasts. The weak have no hope of controlling them."
"Fierce beasts may be bloodthirsty, but their spirit intellect is not weak. Feeding them your blood daily can strengthen your bond. For fierce beasts, a strong person’s blood also has significant effects.
This is especially true for beast cubs. Letting them regularly consu the strong’s blood can shorten their growth ti and enhance their foundation."
Turning a few more pages,
Shen Changqing read through the contents.
After half a quarter of an hour,
he had reached the last page of the book.
The content there,
was precisely what he’d been looking for.
"Fierce beasts’ diet is simple: as a rule of thumb, anything containing powerful energy can be their food—such as straightforward blood food, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, or artificially refined elixirs, and so on.
The more precious the food, the faster the beast grows, and vice versa."
Closing the book,
Shen Changqing put it back in its original place, then turned to look at Tiankui, who lay listlessly on his shoulder.
He didn’t feed it there,
but instead left the Scripture Pavilion first, then returned to his courtyard before putting Tiankui down.
Next,
with a thought,
his index finger’s skin split open, and a drop of golden blood oozed from the wound.
Catching a whiff of the blood,
Tiankui, who had its eyes shut, instantly opened them.
In the next instant,
it lunged for Shen Changqing’s finger.
Thud!
A large hand forcibly pressed Tiankui onto the stone table.
Shen Changqing’s face was icy cold: "Rember this: you only eat when I allow it. If you dare move again without permission, next ti, it won’t be this easy!"
His frosty words,
made Tiankui’s still-immature mind tremble.
When the hand was lifted, it dared not pounce at the drop of blood, only lying there, gazing longingly.
It wanted it,
but dared not take it.
In that mont just now,
Tiankui had instinctively sensed a threat of death.
Even as a beast cub,
its survival instincts were not lacking in the least.
Seeing that Tiankui was now afraid, Shen Changqing’s expression softened a bit.
"Open your mouth!"
Hearing the order,
Tiankui hesitated, then opened its mouth.
Next,
with a flick of his finger, Shen Changqing shot the golden blood into Tiankui’s mouth.
After swallowing that drop of blood,
the exhaustion vanished from Tiankui’s face at once.
"Woo woo!"
It scrambled up from the stone table, waving its front paws, apparently wanting another drop of blood.
Seeing this,
Shen Changqing squeezed out another drop of blood and flicked it into its mouth.
As the blood landed,
Tiankui let out a comfortable sound, then its furry body shook, and it imdiately leaped off the stone table, its spirits revived.
It didn’t ask for more blood.
Clearly, the energy from two drops was plenty for it.
Seeing this,
Shen Changqing picked it up and tossed it back onto his shoulder.
His physical system was perfected to the limit.
Just two drops of blood were enough to fill a Tiankui that had gone hungry for several days. Raising a fierce beast turned out to be much easier than he’d imagined.
At this rate,
feeding it a drop or two every few days would suffice. The consumption wasn’t high and was much more effective than buying elixirs or blood food.
