Beast Taming: Invincible Breeder-Chapter 366 - 341: Ingenious Uses of Dragonfire Iceflame

Chapter 366: Chapter 341: Ingenious Uses of Dragonfire Iceflame

"Yes, Xiaoruan has reached the Overlord level, so the speed at which its level increases won’t be slow either."

Legendary and Imperial-level resources, the kind of treasures even emperors would fight over, are not to be underestimated.

The two of them continued walking deeper inside.

Jiang Lingyun noticed that every water pool contained Ice Body Shells and asked,

"Are they all fully grown?"

"They are."

"How many years does it take for an Ice Body Shell to mature?"

"Three years."

"Three years to become a Lord; it’s too easy for them to break through to Lord level."

"Ease has its downsides. They may have high levels, but lack corresponding strength. If they don’t keep their shells tightly shut, even a Bronze-grade pet beast could easily kill them."

As they continued forward, the pair encountered another type of pet beast within the Dragon Palace.

A fluffy creature, covered in what seemed like a layer of snow-white, plush fur, was collecting Ice Body Pearls from a pool. Upon hearing a noise, it cleaned its adorable little face with its hands, then looked up at them with curious and lively little eyes.

"So cute! It could give Chi Xiaoxiong a run for his money," Jiang Lingyun marveled. "What type of pet beast is it?"

"An Ice Otter, a distant relative of Sea Otters. They are very docile but aren’t particularly strong in battle."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lingyun wanted to pet it. The Ice Otter showed a hint of caution, then ran off, clutching the Ice Body Pearl.

Li Cunxu and Jiang Lingyun followed the Ice Otter to the Dragon Palace’s treasury, which left Jiang Lingyun stunned as she entered.

There were heaps of Ice Body Pearls piled up like small hills.

Over the years, all the Ice Body Pearls produced by the Ice Body Shells had been collected here by the Ice Otters.

The quantity of Ice Body Pearls here was enough to elevate over twenty pet beasts that had comprehended the Ice Domain, from Lord to Overlord level nine.

It’s somewhat unfortunate that Li Cunxu didn’t have a pet beast that mastered the Ice Domain.

However, they weren’t entirely useless to Li Cunxu, as he could trade the Ice Body Pearls for pearls of other attributes, such as Speed Pearls required by the Flame White Horse. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Speed Pearls contain the power of the Speed Domain.

As for the Destiny Pearls needed by Xiaobai Zhu and the Time Pearls required by Curse Crow, these attributes are too advanced to be exchanged with Ice Body Pearls.

Apart from exchanging for pearls of other attributes, Li Cunxu could also feed them to Xiaoruan, whose All Things Domain accepts any kind of domain.

Their arrival also caught the attention of the Ice Otters.

A tall Ice Otter, with its hands behind its back, stepped forward, surrounded by a group of other Ice Otters that seemed to be gathering around to give it a show of strength.

"Humans, this is the Dragon Palace of the Ice Flame White Dragon King. Leave at once, or the Dragon King will not spare you."

The Ice Otter leader didn’t speak but communicated with Li Cunxu using telepathy.

Li Cunxu replied, "The Ice Flame White Dragon King is dead."

The Ice Otter leader fell silent; it didn’t know for sure whether the Ice Flame White Dragon King was dead, but it was aware that the Dragon King hadn’t returned for a long time.

Apart from silence, the Ice Otter leader was also quite flustered, not knowing how to respond.

Bringing up the name of the Ice Flame White Dragon King didn’t intimidate Li Cunxu, leaving it out of options.

The idea of forcibly expelling Li Cunxu had crossed its mind, but under the restraint of Xiaoruan’s aura, the Ice Otter leader quickly dismissed it.

The Ice Otter leader’s strength was quite weak, only Gold level nine, and it had no prospect of further advancement, as its potential was already exhausted.

Its potential was considered the highest within its tribe.

The Ice Otter tribe generally had low potential, with Silver being the norm and Gold being a rarity.

However, it was precisely due to the low potential of the Ice Otter tribe that the Ice Flame White Dragon King felt at ease leaving the management of the Dragon Palace to them.

If the Ice Otters could break through to the Lord level, the Dragon King might worry about them becoming too ambitious.

After all, as Ice-type pet beasts, Ice Otters are likely to comprehend the Ice Domain, and by consuming a large number of Ice Body Pearls, they could reach Overlord level nine.

Li Cunxu said, "The Ice Flame White Dragon King is dead, so why not come with me?"

Li Cunxu saw value in the Ice Otter tribe. While not strong fighters, they were skilled caregivers, especially these Dragon Palace Ice Otters who had extensive experience in cultivating Ice Body Shells.

The Ice Otter leader replied, "Saying that the Ice Flame White Dragon King is dead is only your word against mine."

Li Cunxu produced a key.

"This key belonged to the Ice Flame White Dragon King. It’s the key to access this Dragon Palace secret realm, and now it has somehow come into my possession."

Upon seeing the key, the Ice Otter leader believed him. Thus, Li Cunxu successfully convinced the Ice Otter leader.

After all, who they followed wasn’t of great concern.

The Ice Otter leader wasn’t a die-hard loyalist of the Ice Flame White Dragon King; their tribe was forcibly brought to the Dragon Palace to work by the Dragon King.

Li Cunxu then asked, "Is there a small blue gourd in the treasury?"

"Yes," the Ice Otter leader confirmed.

In just a few seconds, it found it in a treasure chest.

As for the second most valuable single item in the Ice Flame White Dragon King’s treasury, the ’Dragon Fire Ice Flame,’ there was no need to ask the Ice Otter leader to find it, as Li Cunxu had spotted it immediately upon entering.

The icy blue Dragon Fire Ice Flame hovered quietly there. As Li Cunxu approached, it seemed to sense a living being nearing, its flames flickering wildly.

When Li Cunxu was still ten meters away, the Dragon Fire Ice Flame formed into the shape of a white dragon, roaring and clawing at him.

"Blood Lotus Flame Flood Dragon, it’s time to refine the exotic flame."

The Blood Lotus Flame Flood Dragon swallowed the Dragon Fire Ice Flame in one gulp. The Dragon Fire Ice Flame resisted fiercely, with icy-blue flames erupting from the Flood Dragon’s nose and ears.

The flames grew increasingly intense, eventually enveloping the entire Blood Lotus Flame Flood Dragon.

It appeared as though the Dragon Fire Ice Flame might burn the Blood Lotus Flame Flood Dragon to death, but in reality, the damage was limited.

This portion of the Dragon Fire Ice Flame was cut from the Ice Flame White Dragon King’s own fire seed, ranked only at Gold level.

The Blood Lotus Flame Flood Dragon’s physique, enhanced by its resilience, was even stronger than some Lord-level pet beasts, making it impervious to the Dragon Fire Ice Flame.

The exact reason why the Ice Flame White Dragon King would sever its own fire seed is unknown.

Li Cunxu had three possible guesses.

The first was that it left it for its offspring, although this was unlikely.

The Ice Flame White Dragon King hailed from the White Dragon clan within the Five-Colored Dragon Race, notorious for their cold, selfish nature, making it improbable they’d think of their offspring.

The second reason was that its fire seed might have been too intense, causing the Dragon King harm, prompting a need to cut a part away to weaken it.

Just like roasting a whole lamb with too much wood, an overly intense fire risks scorching the meat, so removing some wood to temper the flames can help prevent burning.

The third possibility was trade, as exotic flames are excellent trade resources, capable of securing many precious resources in exchange.

Xiaobai Zhu noted, "Something feels off; the Blood Lotus Flame Flood Dragon shows no signs of refining the Dragon Fire Ice Flame at all."

Li Cunxu, upon closer inspection, confirmed that this was indeed the case.

"Blood Lotus Flame Flood Dragon, could this fire be problematic and unrefinable for you?"

The Blood Lotus Flame Flood Dragon replied, "No problem at all."

"Then why aren’t you refining it?"

"I haven’t refined it because I discovered that being burned by the Dragon Fire Ice Flame can trigger my resilience, providing me with an endless supply of attributes."
