I Tame Beasts by Feeding

Chapter 242: Chapter 228: Spirit Dragon Blood

After a brief interval, Mo Pengcheng and Mu Yongxian appeared together.

The two floated in the air. Mo Pengcheng pressed his palm downward, and the once-raucous scene instantly fell silent. All the disciples present turned to look at them.

"Ahem."

Mo Pengcheng gave a light cough, and the sound, amplified by his Magical Power, reached every corner of the venue. It was as clear as rolling Celestial Thunder in everyone’s ears, echoing through the air.

"After a week of exchange and study, I trust you have all gotten to know each other well. However, since this is an exchange, simple observation is not enough. There must be a competition."

Mo Pengcheng said calmly, pausing for a moment to glance at the smiling Mu Yongxian beside him.

"As the saying goes, the future of a sect rests with its young disciples. Today, the Beast Taming Lineages of the Wanxiang Sect and the Spirit Dragon Sect will seize this opportunity to hold a competition for your generation. We hope you will learn from each other, shore up your weaknesses, and find the experience rewarding."

"Of course, regardless of the outcome, we hope the disciples of both sects will get along and avoid conflict. Now, let me announce the rewards for this competition."

Upon hearing this, disciples from both the Spirit Dragon Sect and the Wanxiang Sect perked up their ears, their expressions filled with anticipation.

"First place in this competition will receive one hundred thousand Spirit Stones, one Condensation Platform Pill, three Spirit Ascension Beast Pills, a vial of Spirit Dragon Blood, and a spot in the inter-sect exchange program."

"Second place will also receive one hundred thousand Spirit Stones, two Spirit Ascension Beast Pills, two Cyan Spirit Pills... and a spot in the inter-sect exchange program."

"Third place will receive one hundred thousand Spirit Stones, one Spirit Ascension Beast Pill, three Rejuvenating Pills... and a spot in the inter-sect exchange program."

......

As Mo Pengcheng slowly announced the rewards for the top finishers, the crowd erupted into an uproar. The disciples exchanged glances, the shock in their eyes unmistakable.

’Never mind the hundred thousand Spirit Stones... a Condensation Platform Pill! That’s a peak Tier Three elixir that can raise a Foundation Establishment cultivator’s Cultivation by one or two entire stages, as long as their Spirit Platform is strong enough! I can’t believe they’re being so generous for this competition.’

Within the crowd, disciples from both sects swallowed hard, their Adam’s apples bobbing. Their minds were a whirlwind of complex emotions.

’Yeah, and the Spirit Ascension Beast Pills... They might be worth a bit less than the Condensation Platform Pill, but for a Beast Master’s Spirit Beast, they can directly boost its Cultivation. And they’re giving away three of them!’

Someone sighed in amazement, their eyes wide with a mixture of shock and fervent desire.

’Either one of those items is priceless and virtually impossible to find on the market. You can’t buy them for a mere hundred thousand Spirit Stones, can you? And that’s not even mentioning the Spirit Dragon Blood...’

"But what is Spirit Dragon Blood?" a confused disciple from the Wanxiang Sect asked.

A disciple from the Spirit Dragon Sect took a sharp breath before slowly explaining.

"Spirit Dragon Blood is a specialty of our Spirit Dragon Sect. When a Spirit Beast consumes it, it can purify its bloodline and increase its potential. There’s even a small chance of infusing its bloodline with a trace of Dragon Force."

"It’s especially potent for Spirit Beasts that are already of the Dragon Species; the benefits are immense, making it practically priceless. Even within our sect, very few ever get their hands on it. To think the sect is willing to offer it as a reward... what an incredibly grand gesture."

The rewards for this competition were truly extravagant. It wasn’t just the disciples who were shocked—even some of the Elders were secretly astonished and tempted.

As this was a competition between two major sects, the rewards were bound to be substantial, and they were provided jointly by both.

However, the Spirit Dragon Sect had contributed a larger share. This was unavoidable; after all, they were the ones who had pushed so hard to propose this competition in the first place.

Consequently, they had to pay a higher price; otherwise, the Wanxiang Sect would never have agreed so readily. But the Spirit Dragon Sect’s logic was simple.

’From Mu Yongxian’s perspective, what did it matter if they paid a bit more? All the most valuable prizes—the Spirit Dragon Blood, the Condensation Platform Pill—were for first place. And with Yang Chengxu on their side, victory was virtually guaranteed.’

’In the end, the prizes their sect put up would just end up with their own disciple. It was a winning proposition no matter how you looked at it.’

After all, it was clear that the gap between the first and second-place rewards was enormous.

The Cyan Spirit Pills for the lower ranks were decent, but they paled in comparison to the Condensation Platform Pill and the Spirit Dragon Blood.

As for the spots in the inter-sect exchange program, the name said it all.

The winners would earn a spot to visit the opposing sect for a period of exchange. During that time, they would be treated almost identically to that sect’s own disciples.

As long as they met the requirements, places like the other sect’s Scripture Pavilion and Spirit Beast Garden...

...all the places normally accessible to disciples, would be completely open to them. Moreover, their absolute safety during their stay would be guaranteed.

All things considered, it was a decent prize, though it was seen as a secondary reward. Of course, participation was voluntary; winners were not required to go.

Overall, it was clear both sects placed immense importance on this competition. The participating disciples were all stirred with excitement, clenching their fists in anticipation.

It wasn’t just the disciples of the Beast Taming Peak, either. Even the spectators from other peaks were stunned, their gazes filled with envy.

’Damn, the rewards are so much better than what we get for our usual internal competitions! Figures. The sect only shells out the good stuff when its reputation is at stake.’

someone lamented in frustration.

’A competition between two sects is all about prestige, so of course they can’t be stingy. It’s a shame disciples from other lineages like us can’t participate, though.’

another disciple analyzed rationally, feeling a touch of regret.

Even Yang Chengxu, whose expression was usually as still as the water in an old well, showed a flicker of emotion in his eyes upon hearing the rewards. A moment later, a faint smile touched his lips.

’The first-place prize is decent enough. Especially the Spirit Dragon Blood... that’s exactly what I need.’

His thoughts revealed an absolute confidence, as if first place were already his for the taking.

Regardless of what the disciples were thinking, Mo Pengcheng and Mu Yongxian shared a slight smile and a nod on the stage.

"We know you are all eager to begin, so we won’t waste any more words. Just remember: while you should strive to win, safety comes first. Succeed, and not only will the sect be proud, but you will also reap immense personal rewards."

After a moment’s pause, Mo Pengcheng added, "For those who achieve a high rank, the sect will have additional rewards beyond those already listed."

"Now, I declare the inter-sect Beast Taming competition... begin!"
