Chapter 541: Chapter 541: Jiang Li in the Eyes of the Baby Monster
Bipolar led everyone to the Beast Controlling Sect, and on their way, everyone was looking left and right, observing the sect.
After all, there was a possibility they would stay here in the future, so getting familiar with the place in advance would be good.
They listened in on the conversation of some Beast Controlling Sect disciples.
“Look, that’s Sister Red Fox, she was an exchange student from our sect. After studying abroad for three years, she has finally returned. I wonder what she has learnt in the Union Sect.”
“And there’s Sister Jade Rabbit, I heard she has now qualified to become the personal guard of the White Marsh Emperor!”
“What, Sister Jade Rabbit is that strong now?”
“She just qualifies, Sister Jade Rabbit still needs profound cultivation. The requirements to become the White Marsh Emperor’s personal guard are strict, with Sister Jade Rabbit’s current level of cultivation, the chances of her passing are slim.”
“It’s Sister White Wolf, I heard she went on a journey to ponder how to break through the Nascent Soul Stage, and now, she’s already become a mother.”
“…It feels like you’ve skipped over quite a bit of what happened.”
Everyone walked past the two Beast Controlling Sect disciples, and in a short amount of time, a huge amount of information could be gleaned from their conversation.
Inside the Beast Controlling Sect, the relationship between humans and monsters was harmonious.
Here, they could see anthropomorphic monsters warmly chatting with humans, humans and monsters forming contracts, Li Er wandering around, humans and monsters fighting together…
Did they just see someone strange? Jiang Li pondered.
“This is Incubation Peak.” Bipolar led everyone to the destination.
Incubation Peak was a place where all disciples from Beast Controlling Sect loved to be, as it was filled with adorable little monsters; fluffy, soft ones curled up into balls, irresistibly cute.
Particularly the female disciples, they happily chose to attend the Beast Controlling Sect to care for the little monsters.
Bipolar was the person in charge of the Incubation Peak, it was here where she and the Sect Master met, and where their daughter was born.
“You all have half a day to roam freely around the Incubation Peak. After that time, gather here with your monster cubs. Based on the circumstances, I’ll decide who has passed this test.”
What she meant was that they weren’t allowed to forcefully bring over monster cubs.
“So, it depends on whether the monster cub likes you or not.” Jiang Li pondered, he had never been in contact with monster cubs before and didn’t know if monster cubs would be affectionate to him.
If he really had to mention what cubs he’d been in contact with before, it’d probably be chicken eggs.
…
“Come here, come to sister.” The Shark Tribe’s Little Princess Yu Xiao Meng squatted down, clapping her hands with a charming smile on her face, easily capturing the hearts of the little monster cubs.
The monster cubs felt that both Yu Xiao Meng and they were monsters and also felt the kindness she emitted. They thought of her as a trustworthy person.
A group of little monsters wiggled their bottoms and swayed left and right as they ran to Yu Xiao Meng, rubbing against her, making her laugh out ticklishly.
…
Jiang Li stroked his chin: “I treat people kindly, monster cubs should be able to sense the kindness from me, it shouldn’t be difficult.”
Jiang Li released his Divine Sense, enveloping Incubation Peak, soon finding a monster, a little pig, its intellect equivalent to a three-year-old’s.
Jiang Li squatted down like Yu Xiao Meng, clapping his hands to beckon the little monster over.
The little pig glanced at Jiang Li, and as if seeing a flood beast or ghoul, it turned to run away as fast as its legs could carry it.
“…”
Jiang Li tried a few more times with other cubs, but the results were similar, the monster cubs didn’t seem to be attached to him and ran away upon seeing him.
“Do I look that scary?” Jiang Li grinned, scaring away even more monster cubs.
“Could it be that my aura is too strong, frightening the little ones?” He pondered, unable to understand.
…
“You can attract magical creatures by preparing meals, using the tastes to draw them in,” Sevenkill Taoist said. He often savored the dishes Yu Xiao Meng and Li Jiaojiao prepared, knowing just how precious a well-cooked meal could be.
Yu Xiao Meng and Li Jiaojiao eagerly volunteered, which scared Sevenkill Taoist enough to quickly agree to do the task himself.
Sevenkill Taoist’s cooking skills were merely above average, but his very presence seemed to attract magical beings. Combined with his tolerably-good dishes, and the skyward golden glow, he managed to quickly attract some young magical creatures.
Sevenkill Taoist served the food onto plates and placed them on the ground. The magical creature cubs were thoroughly enjoying their meal with satisfied grunts and munches.
After the creatures finished eating, Sevenkill Taoist removed the plates. Still, they remained close to Sevenkill Taoist, showing no intention of leaving.
…
“Young magical creatures are still immature and act according to their instincts. The fragrant scent originating from cooking is an irresistible temptation for them,”.
“I’m not good with complicated dishes. Easy to make a mess. How about we switch to barbecue? It’s simple and easy-to-master,”.
Seeing Jiang Li chop the meat into chunks, skewer them, and roast them fiercely over the fire, the magical creature cubs started shaking in fear, imagining themselves being treated the same way by Jiang Li.
This human is so terrifying.
Jiang Li predictably failed, left in low spirits and started munching on grilled skewers himself.
“These skewers actually taste pretty good,” he muttered.
…
“Magical creatures adhere to bloodlines. Despite not being a dragon, my blood does carry certain dragon-like properties. The magical creature cubs should like it,” Li Jiaojiao, the little princess of the South Jiao Dragon Tribe, explained. She used her Spiritual Treasure to cut her finger and squeezed out a few drops of blood.
The scent of mixed dragon blood was overpowering. While humans didn’t seem to understand this, for the immature magical creature cubs with their instincts in overdrive, this was a fatal temptation.
Soon, a group of small magical creatures ran over, joyfully dancing and cheering around Li Jiaojiao.
She lovingly stroked the heads of the magical creatures. It felt quite good.
…
“Magical creatures value strong bloodlines. As I’m at the Mahayana Realm, my blood embodies infinite power. Even those at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage cannot endure a single drop of my blood. My blood should be able to attract magical creatures.” Jiang Li attempted to find another solution.
Jiang Li tried to sever his finger with the Spiritual Treasure, but found his body too resilient for even the Spiritual Treasure. He then bit his finger and dropped a few droplets of blood.
A pig cub, twisting its backside leisurely, happened to see this develop. It was terrified by the drop of Jiang Li’s blood, which seemed to unleash a supernatural burst of power, altering the colors of the world, and bringing utter devastation. It quickly ran away in fear.
Apparently, magical creature cubs and human cubs could see what ordinary beings could not.
Jiang Li sighed.
…
Half a day quickly passed and Bipolar was early to stand at the top of the peak to inspect the results.
“Deputy Sect Master Bipolar, look at all these magical creatures I’ve gathered,” someone said boastfully. Behind him trailed many magical creature cubs, drawing a lot of attention.
“I’ve already seen you using intimidation to force these creatures to follow you. You don’t have a kind heart considering magical creatures. You’re disqualified,” Bipolar said.
“Please take a look at these few magical creatures I have,” another person said.
“Do you really think that using the Puppet Technique to control magical creatures would escape my notice? You’re disqualified.”
“Please look, these are Skyward Frog cubs.”
Skyward Frogs are known for their loud calls. Once they mature, they can take on humanoid form.
Bipolar saw him holding a basin of water, and the basin was full of tadpoles.
“Disqualified.”
