The King of Beast Trainers
Chapter 310 - 175 Holy Son!_1

Chapter 310: Chapter 175 Holy Son!_1

The Death Divine Sect, also known outside as the Necromancy Cult, this power’s Death Space shelters a grand total of eighteen mountains, each mountain harbors numerous caves and residences for the Sect’s upper echelon to dwell in.

Those among the Sect’s higher ranks who qualify to stay in the Death Space long term, aside from the Elders of the various peaks, are the Divine Envoys.

Sect Hierarch, Elder, Divine Envoy, Core Talent, Preacher, Regular Member.

These represent the general composition of the Sect’s membership.

At present, atop each peak, a giant soul skull materialized and began proclaiming the latest internal news.

"King of Sudden Death, originally a common member of the Death Divine Sect and a talented newcomer, fought off hundreds of Imperial Beast Tamers single-handedly in Midwood City, safeguarding many followers of the Necro Sect. Furthermore, a culinary prodigy, he tirelessly researched ways to overcome the detrimental effects of devouring souls and ultimately, by means of culinary skills, successfully separated the soul from consciousness, concocting ’Harmless Soul’, thereby laying an important foundation for the advancement of Necromancy and providing an extraordinary contribution to the growth of the undead domain!"

"Today, I, Legendary Necromancer Los, accept King of Sudden Death as my disciple and proclaim him as the first Necromancer Holy Son of our Death Divine Sect, a position equal to that of an Elder!"

The message spread continuously, and the Death Space vibrated unceasingly. Being hailed as the Necromancer Holy Son was almost definitively being marked as the next Sect Hierarch, and the release of this news greatly upset many of the Sect’s core talents.

After all, they had made countless efforts to bear the flag of the Sect and to become the Saint Heir, only to have an inconceivable newcomer cut in all at once.

Yet, upon hearing the Sect Hierarch personally verify the other’s achievements, these talents were left bewildered for a moment. Achieving it through culinary methods... concocting a Harmless Soul?

"Truly a great talent!" Compared to the core talents, a group of Elders entrenched in the study of Necromancy for years marveled, realizing their leader had taken a remarkable disciple under his wing.

The greatest challenge in the Sect’s development is not the outside world’s "rumors."

Because the rumors are true.

If one’s talent is inadequate, progressing in Necromancy indeed results in becoming neither human nor ghost.

Undead pet beasts can only feed on souls, but souls are "poisonous," greatly hindering the expansion of Necromancy.

Maybe some talents can advance unfazed in willpower to level five, level six, level seven...

But how many such individuals exist, and how many talents, wary of Necromancy, are even unwilling to dabble in it at all?

Lu Ran’s emergence could be said to have kindled a flame of hope for the Death Divine Sect, the kind of hope that can ignite a sweeping blaze. These Elders and Divine Envoys almost instantly understood why the leader had accepted this disciple—his talent justified the status.

"This will be your dwelling from now on," proclaimed the Necro Sect Hierarch, a Necromancer adept in the Space Attribute arts. With one step, Lu Ran too transcended space with him, arriving at a completely new peak.

Atop the peak, vast and endless, Lu Ran felt an immediate shock upon arrival—for this place was nearly littered with Soul Suppressing Stones embedded in every nook and cranny of the mountain walls.

"As for the style of the residence, you can communicate with the Mountain God directly later on, and it will build it for you."

"The Mountain God?"

"A Rock-Line Undead, it has served the Sect for many years."

Oh, the Sect’s exclusive construction worker.

"Right, since I’ve taken you as my disciple, I, your master, seem yet to have prepared a welcoming present for you." The Necro Sect Hierarch looked amiably at Lu Ran.

With a wave of his hand, an object resembling a bottle and an ancient-looking book flew directly towards Lu Ran.

Lu Ran promptly caught them.

[Name]: Soul Binding Bottle

[Level]: World’s Rare

"This Soul Binding Bottle is a treasure tool for attacking, detaining, and preserving souls. Generally, souls are difficult to carry around, and many Necromancers have to search for sustenance on the spot when they wish to nurture pet beasts."

"With this bottle, you can carry thousands of souls with you at any time, making things far more convenient."

"Whether you’re extracting them for study at your leisure, or if you find yourself in combat wanting to sacrifice a soul to perform a skill, it’s all very expedient."

Lu Ran held the hot Soul Binding Bottle in his hands, mentally sighing, Is this what having a Legendary Level master is like?

And regarding the other item.

[Name]: Soul Meditation Method

Lu Ran’s heart skipped again.

"The Soul Meditation Method is an exclusive meditation technique of our Sect. Besides the foundational Necromancy, most of the Sect’s advanced undead arts are built upon this meditation method."

"Greedy expansion leads to proficiency in none. For now, you should focus on practicing this. Once you achieve a certain level of proficiency, I will then guide you based on your talent to the next step."

Lu Ran: "..."

No need! No need!

Give me all the skills! Give me all the skills first!

Though Lu Ran wished to say that, fearing a backlash, he instead graciously nodded in gratitude, "Thank you, Master, I will cultivate diligently."

"Furthermore, seeing that you’re also interested in culinary arts, smithing, and Necromancy research, I’ll inform Elder Shangguan next. You can research Artifact Spirits together with him."

"The Bone Sword you used in Midwood City was forged by Elder Shangguan."

"And regarding the chef’s knife you’re currently holding... It seems of low quality. You can have Elder Shangguan forge a better one for you, to aid your research."

The Necro Sect Hierarch had high hopes for Lu Ran,

"All right." Lu Ran nodded, and at that moment, the Sect Hierarch’s gaze drifted into the distance, as if he were contemplating something.

"Of course, given your level and your age, you needn’t worry about too much for now. Just focus on increasing your strength and doing the research you enjoy—that will be sufficient."

"Next, as your master, I will do another thing for you!"

"During this period, let the previous Dark Fire Envoy serve as your exclusive divine envoy. She will teach you how to survive in this space, and you can also have her carry out any needs you might have."

......

After the Necromancer Sect Hierarch finished speaking, he left the place. Lu Ran didn’t quite understand the "other thing" mentioned by the Hierarch, but at the moment, he was too lazy to think too much about it.

You couldn’t shear a sheep bald, and the difference in their status compared to the Necromancer Sect Hierarch was still too glaring. On the contrary, using the identity of a Necromancer Holy Son to ask for gifts from the elders and divine envoys became more natural.

"Greetings, Holy Son!"

After the Necromancer Sect Hierarch had left, the Dark Fire Envoy came again, speaking respectfully. This caused Lu Ran to fall silent; indeed, this was the correct way to play within the Breakthrough Secret Realm. With this identity, not even if he were facing the Golden Generation, but even if there were a few First Generation powerhouses, it seemed he could even push through with his "subordinates."

"Dark Fire Envoy, no need to be so formal. I’m not sure where the Mountain God is, but first, have it set up a simple dwelling for me."

"Understood."

"Furthermore, as a newcomer to the Divine Sect, I feel enormous pressure and a great sense of responsibility. I’m still unsure if I can bear this mission. I will rest today, and from tomorrow, can you take me to meet the elders of the Divine Sect?"

"Yes, and the divine envoys and even other peer geniuses, I would like to meet them, too."

"I wish to pay my respects, seek guidance, and exchange ideas with them. Please inform them in advance so they can prepare. I mean for you to arrange the timing so we don’t make the trip in vain."

"Understood." The Dark Fire Envoy was surprised.

Who would have thought that after Lu Ran became the Holy Son, he would still be so modest?

He actually planned to take the initiative to visit the members of the Divine Sect, rather than having them come to visit him.

"Additionally, if they ask you for information about me, you can also disclose appropriately. This might help, perhaps, to reduce the distance between us," Lu Ran remarked thoughtfully.

Only once the others knew about his pet beast information could they more conveniently prepare suitable gifts!

He wanted to see just how many people within this vast Divine Sect knew how to behave!

Anyway, he had already prepared a little notebook for Mr. Husky. If it turned out that during his visits someone failed to give a gift, he would definitely make a note of it.

Later, he would sell this grudge book to Manager Ying with the information: "Star Moon Continent Necromancer Cult, the stingiest and least tactful high-level members."

"I will do right by it," said the Dark Fire Envoy, nodding.

"One last crucial point, while understanding the Divine Sect is essential, I hope... we can complete it quickly, preferably within half a month."

"I don’t want to waste too much time on research."

...

Soon after.

The Dark Fire Envoy left to pay visits to the various elders, speaking of Lu Ran’s requests.

At the same time.

The pangolin-like Mountain God had also built a residence for Lu Ran.

Lu Ran moved in directly.

He took out the two items the Sect Hierarch had given him again.

The Soul Binding Bottle, a good item, even the identity card space couldn’t store souls, but this one could!

Lu Ran figured he could do a bit of nesting; storing the Soul Binding Bottle in the identity card space and then using the bottle to store souls. This way, he could carry tens of thousands of souls at any time, ready to prepare Soul Cuisine on the go.

"The master also mentioned earlier about a sacrificial flow!"

"Right, sacrificing souls to cast a certain skill."

"Sss... Such an evil method; I must find out later which elder knows how to impart such an ability to a pet beast. It feels like I could arrange one for Dark Crow."

"At that time, directly sacrifice tens of thousands of souls to cast a curse, and fighting beyond one’s level would be a breeze, right?"

"Sacrifice plus curse seems like a good combination..." Lu Ran felt he had gained a new cultivation strategy.

"Of course, as a good person, I will only curse wrongdoers."

Lu Ran picked up the Soul Meditation Method again, glanced at it, rolled his eyes, and threw it into the space to gather dust.

This thing required a Beast Training Space to practice, which was of no use to him since he didn’t have a Beast Training Space.

Indeed, resources and equipment were more suitable for him.

The next day.

Lu Ran began visiting the high levels of the Divine Sect with a schedule packed full of plans.

The first one he planned to visit was the forging elder, intending to inherit the elder’s expertise and ensure his craftsmanship would not be regretfully lost.

"Holy Son..."

"Meeting Elder Shangguan, I hope my sudden visit hasn’t disturbed you. This is a ’specially made’ smoked rabbit spirit I cooked ’with my own hands’ ’this morning.’ Being new here, I don’t have much to offer; it’s not a valuable gift, but I hope Elder Shangguan won’t mind."

"This... How could I dare to receive a gift from the Holy Son when I haven’t visited personally..." At that moment, Elder Shangguan’s hand slid off his storage bag, and he suddenly felt that the gift he had prepared was difficult to present.
