Beast Taming Patrol

Chapter 1448: Chapter 408: The Five-Colored Treasures of the Nine Nether Pavilion

"I didn’t expect you to have studied this," the Soul Venerate remarked with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Then, it fell into deep thought.

The ancient tomes within the Nine Nether Pavilion are connected to a wealth of secret techniques passed down through the Nether Soul Sect and must be handled with care.

But upon reflection, the Soul Venerate realized that the Nether Soul Sect actually knew very little about these ancient tomes.

Those secret techniques are often born from a combination of scattered words in ancient tomes and the insights of powerful figures throughout the Nether Soul Sect’s history, and they are not so intricately linked to the tomes themselves.

If Lin Su truly had some understanding of the texts in these ancient tomes and could decipher something from them, it would be a win-win for both parties.

After figuring this out, the Soul Venerate nodded slightly, "I am authorized to agree to this."

"These ancient tomes are not kept within the secret realm; over the long years, they have been separately organized and stored outside. Once you reach the outside, you may peruse them at will."

With the Soul Venerate’s approval, a thrilling glimmer appeared in the eyes of Guigui and Yingying, who stood behind Lin Su.

Youyou had acquired a powerful secret technique, the Phoenix Transformation Scripture, from the texts in the Immortal Phoenix Hall.

Additionally, there were numerous other secret techniques that could be used in battle, but Youyou temporarily lacked the energy to pursue them concurrently.

If the two of them could also obtain similar secret techniques suitable for them from the Nine Nether Pavilion, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance their strength.

"In that case, shall we leave this place first, Soul Venerate?" Lin Su said with a smile.

"Let’s go," the Soul Venerate nodded, then swiftly wrapped up one person and five pets, retracing their steps back.

Moments later, Lin Su and his five young companions returned to the entrance portal of the Nine Nether Secret Realm.

Zhao Xuantong was already waiting at the portal, and from his expression, it seemed he had also gained quite a lot from this exploration opportunity.

"Brother Lin, your harvest..." Zhao Xuantong started to ask about Lin Su’s gains but stopped abruptly when he saw the five young companions behind Lin Su.

He could clearly feel that their strength had greatly increased compared to before entering the Nine Nether Secret Realm.

Especially the beast cloaked in a black robe and the black dragon bathed in dark red flames, they almost suffocated him and his beast with their oppressive presence.

For a moment, Zhao Xuantong felt somewhat disheartened.

The gains from his two entries into the Nine Nether Secret Realm combined might not even be as much as theirs.

Damn it!

Without noticing Zhao Xuantong’s change in mood, Lin Su smiled and cupped his hands towards him, "Brother Zhao, I’ll take my leave for now, let’s chat next time."

After saying that, he hurriedly headed to his chamber.

"This..." Zhao Xuantong watched Lin Su’s departing figure, blinking his eyes.

"It’s best you don’t ask," the Soul Venerate said with a peculiar tone.

Zhao Xuantong, a direct descendant of the Nether Soul Palace and a direct disciple of Sect Master Zou Mingruo, was naturally well cared for by the Soul Venerate, who had even watched him grow up.

Before meeting Lin Su, the Soul Venerate always felt that although Zhao Xuantong was not the top among the disciples of the three main sects, he was among the most talented of the younger generation.

But now...

Best not to mention it.

"From tomorrow, come to my Soul Burial Ground every day," the Soul Venerate said calmly, words that caused Zhao Xuantong’s face to fall.

The Soul Burial Ground, a trial ground meticulously crafted by the Soul Venerate.

Its power enhancement effect for disciples of the Nether Soul Palace was not much lesser than that of the Wangsheng Heaven.

However, the place posed many challenges for Beast Tamers and their beasts, and gaining anything from it required undergoing numerous trials.

"Soul Venerate, this..." Zhao Xuantong forced a smile, trying to evade the situation.

"It’s settled," the Soul Venerate left this sentence behind and vanished into thin air.

Zhao Xuantong: "..."

Someone tell me what just happened?!

...

"Tata, what is the five-colored item this time?"

Upon entering his chamber, Lin Su activated the barrier to block out the outside world, then immediately inquired.

Although the Nether Soul Palace had been good to him, the matter of Tata and the five-colored items was something he didn’t want too many people to know about, as it might relate to the origins of the Heavenly Rank Secret Realm.

"Tap! ʕ◉ᴥ◉ʔ" (I haven’t tried it yet!)

Tata replied while pulling out a treasure chest from the Space Ring.

Compared to previous chests containing five-colored items, this one was quite petite.

A box barely larger than a palm, which hardly seemed capable of holding even a few five-colored items, let alone dozens or hundreds.

But when Tata opened the chest, Lin Su quickly dispelled that thought.

Because inside were long needles, each a different color.

Five colors, crystal-like, incredibly slender, and sparkling under the light.

One needle naturally didn’t take up much space, thus the small chest contained at least hundreds of these long needles.

Carefully picking up a pale blue needle, Lin Su examined it for a moment, his expression gradually turning peculiar.

This needle was incredibly thin, sharp at both ends, and looked like some kind of concealed weapon.

How on earth was one supposed to absorb this?

"Jie? (｡ϟ｡)" (Could it be used to prick oneself?)

With runes flickering on its mask, Guigui suddenly suggested.

"Dah?! ʕ꒦ິᴥ꒦ີʔ" (What?!)

Hearing about pricking oneself with the needle, Tata’s fur bristled involuntarily, and a fearful expression appeared on its face.

"Ahem, actually, I think so too," Lin Su said to Tata with a resigned look, "Look at these long needles, they have no other use but to pierce."

"And you’ve certainly tried using other parts of your body to make contact, right? And it was useless, wasn’t it?"
