Chapter 252: The New City Lord
Song Tiantian had already experienced this once, and she knew very well what this ball of light was: the soul power of a Nine-star Fierce Beast.
This was also the main reason why Nine-star Fierce Beasts were so difficult to kill.
She could kill the physical body of a Nine-star Fierce Beast, but she couldn’t destroy its soul.
However, it wasn’t without a solution; the System was also very experienced in dealing with the souls of Nine-star Fierce Beasts.
It once again devoured the soul of the Nine-star Fierce Beast.
Before falling into a slumber, it gave Song Tiantian a map.
This was a map to the Beast Realm.
It was clear that the System very much hoped Song Tiantian would go to the Beast Realm.
Although the System didn’t say it directly, as the System grew stronger, Song Tiantian could already hear its inner voice.
The System was Song Tiantian’s contracted Pet Beast, but it was different from other Pet Beasts.
If Song Tiantian couldn’t provide the energy the System required, the System would devour Song Tiantian’s soul power.
Previously, the System hadn’t devoured a Nine-star Fierce Beast, so it couldn’t devour Song Tiantian’s soul; Song Tiantian’s soul power was superior to the System’s.
Unfortunately, Song Tiantian didn’t have any skills that could perform mental attacks.
She knew very few skills.
Her swordsmanship was honed one slash at a time, discovered through practical combat.
According to the System, there were more Advanced Level skills in the Beast Realm.
Moreover, this Cultivation Method was very problematic and weak.
It was a Beast Taming Cultivation Method that only had cultivation techniques, no attack skills, which was quite absurd. Everyone could only summon Pet Beasts to fight.
Furthermore, this Beast Taming Cultivation Method had very serious side effects. It claimed one could live to 150 years old, but in reality, living to seventy or eighty would be a blessing. If one continued to cultivate without a Potion to suppress Mental Rampage, being able to cultivate for ten years without going mad would be a cause for gratitude.
Only at this moment did Song Tiantian realize how incredible Dr. Bai was to become a Nine-star Beast Tamer.
The System said Song Tiantian needed to enter the Beast Realm and obtain a designated Cultivation Method to Breakthrough.
Because Song Tiantian didn’t have Mental Rampage, her Talent was different from others.
Therefore, by cultivating these two Cultivation Methods, she couldn’t Breakthrough to Nine-star Beast Tamer no matter what.
This was also a method set up by the Temple to suppress Ordinary People, designed to prevent those who posed a threat to them from growing stronger.
However, the System stated that once they returned to the Beast Realm, it could find a way to help Song Tiantian steal a Cultivation Method from the West Mountain Divine Hall.
The System also wanted to advance further.
This Identity Token could leave a part of its clone in Qingshan City to continue absorbing the excess Mental Power from Qingshan City.
As for the Potion to suppress Mental Rampage, it could also leave behind a part of the Recipe. It had already identified several talented individuals.
These individuals could be cultivated into new Pharmacists. In other words, the newly appointed Old Master Huang could continue to use Qingshan City’s Points.
Moreover, Song Tiantian left a lot of Beast Food and Resources for Old Master Huang; Song Tiantian didn’t take these with her, as they were intended as funds for future development.
The reason Song Tiantian chose Old Master Huang was that she had carefully observed him. Old Master Huang had excellent character and also possessed many resources.
Furthermore, although Huang Xiaohua’s Brain was a bit slow, her character was actually quite good. She was at least not as selfish as Song Ruyu and had certain principles in her heart.
Also, Huang Xiaohua’s Pet Beasts had all died, and she needed time to properly cultivate new Pet Beasts. This process couldn’t involve combat because Huang Xiaohua’s Mental Power had been severely damaged and she also needed time to recover. During this period, she could manage Qingshan City’s internal affairs. If she could take over Qingshan City in the future, Song Tiantian felt she would be capable.
After all, Song Tiantian didn’t want to leave a mess; she hoped the people of Qingshan City could live well.
Song Ruyu and Gongsun Yu were stunned. They watched Song Tiantian efficiently collect the corpse of the Nine-star Fierce Beast and then announce they were returning to the city to hold a Celebration Banquet.
They never imagined that a Nine-star Fierce Beast would be so easy to deal with.
Song Tiantian clearly only had the Strength of an Eight-star Beast Tamer, yet she could directly confront a Nine-star Fierce Beast.
She wasn’t afraid of the Nine-star Fierce Beast’s Attack at all, and could even face its Mental Attack directly.
However, soon, both of them became happy.
Because they would also be able to participate in the Celebration Banquet and taste the Nine-star Fierce Beast Meat.
Song Tiantian privately kept three portions of Nine-star Fierce Beast Meat for Old Master Huang. After all, if Old Master Huang was to be the City Lord, his Strength naturally needed to be improved.
The Celebration Banquet this time was very simple. Song Tiantian didn’t arrange for any Security Guards or waiters. There were just a few simple wooden tables and rows of red plastic stools, yet no one felt disdainful.
Because a Nine-star Fierce Beast carcass, radiating heat, was placed over the central bonfire. Under the scorching flames, its alluring aroma captivated everyone’s attention.
Song Tiantian also invited the Song Family.
Even Song Jing and Song Jun were invited. Their Strength felt out of place among the others.
“Everyone, the threats around Qingshan City have been completely eliminated. My cultivation has reached a bottleneck, and I will go in search of new opportunities. I have already informed the Official. Old Master Huang will become the new City Lord of Qingshan City. You can seize this opportunity to exchange for top-grade Beast Food.
In three days, the rules for Point Exchange will be updated by Old Master Huang.
Today, everyone, please enjoy the delicious food to your heart’s content.”
Song Tiantian’s words were undoubtedly a thunderclap to everyone present.
They were so shocked that they didn’t even have the appetite to savor the deliciousness of the Nine-star Fierce Beast Meat.
However, upon closer thought, it seemed that everything was not contradictory.
Because the number of Fierce Beasts was decreasing, which everyone could see.
The number of Fierce Beasts had become very scarce.
The Points everyone could obtain were gradually decreasing.
With the fall of this Nine-star Fierce Beast, it would be difficult to obtain a large number of Points in Qingshan City again.
“City Lord! We can’t live without you!”
They wanted Song Tiantian to stay.
Therefore, they earnestly persuaded her.
Because without Song Tiantian, there would be no Potion to suppress Mental Rampage.
“Everyone, there’s no need to worry. I have left a copy of the new Secret Formula with the Official, so everyone will not be short of it in the future. Qingshan City also has dedicated Pharmacists; these individuals are professionals. Today, let’s not discuss official matters.”
Song Tiantian knew very well that if she didn’t publicize this Secret Formula, Qingshan City would have no way to sustain itself.
Fortunately, the Pharmacists were professionals and masters of Gourmet Food. Although their Mental Power was slightly inferior to hers, the Gourmet Food they produced was still effective and sufficient for the vast majority of people.
