Chapter 137 Compensation

Shen Bing and Shen Xue's home was also in Rongcheng, just in a different district from Zheng Dong.

Zheng Dong summoned Jingjing, transformed it into a battleship, and flew towards Rongcheng.

A few hours later, they arrived at a high-end residential area in Rongcheng.

This area was backed by mountains and faced a natural lake. A row of villas was built along the lake, and one of them was the home of Shen Bing and Shen Xue.

Upon entering Shen Bing and Shen Xue's home, the two sisters breathed a sigh of relief.

They had thought they wouldn't be able to return this time.

Looking at the photos of the mother and daughters hanging on the wall, they suddenly missed their mother.

Although they often had small arguments, their mother was still the most important person in their hearts.

As if hearing the sound of the door opening.

A beautiful woman, wearing a slip dress, descended the stairs with a languid expression.

The woman bore a nine-tenths resemblance to Shen Bing and Shen Xue.

They looked like three sisters.

Time seemed to have left no trace on the woman.

The woman yawned, then noticed Zheng Dong.

Suddenly, she felt a bit awkward.

Hearing the door open, she knew her daughters had returned and in her haste, she had only put on a slip dress.

Her graceful body was faintly visible through the thin silk material of the slip dress.

This made Zheng Dong feel awkward, not knowing where to look.

No matter where he looked, it seemed inappropriate.

He would always see something he shouldn't.

He had no choice but to turn away.

This also made Shen Bing and Shen Xue feel helpless.

But before they could speak, their mother spoke first:

"You two, bringing a friend back without telling me, so I could have been prepared."

As she spoke, the woman turned and walked towards the bedroom.

At the same time, her gaze turned icy.

"You brat, I didn't come looking for trouble, and you dare to come to my doorstep. Do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"

She walked upstairs step by step, her slip dress swaying casually.

Compared to Zheng Dong's awkwardness, she seemed completely unconcerned about being exposed.

Zheng Dong, at the invitation of Shen Bing and Shen Xue, came to the living room.

After a brief chat, Zheng Dong planned to refine and consume the Blood and Flesh Ganoderma.

The two sisters then arranged a guest room for Zheng Dong.

The guest room was on the first floor, and through the floor-to-ceiling windows, one could see the beautiful lake view.

After closing the door, Zheng Dong condensed a clone to stay in the guest room and entered the mythical-level relic space himself.

Only here, refining and consuming the Blood and Flesh Ganoderma, would he feel at ease.

The Blood and Flesh Ganoderma given to him by the Spirit of the Relic was like a piece of blood-red jade, emitting strong elemental energy fluctuations.

Zheng Dong bit off a piece and swallowed it.

Immediately, he felt a strange power spreading from his abdomen to his entire body.

The internal injuries caused by the conflict of his two bloodline powers were recovering at a visible rate.

This allowed Zheng Dong's weakened body to regain some strength.

Then, he bit off another piece.

Each time, he dared not eat too much.

The power of the Blood and Flesh Ganoderma was too immense, and it needed to be refined and absorbed slowly.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, three days had gone by.

Zheng Dong had finally swallowed the entire Blood and Flesh Ganoderma.

However, he had not fully absorbed and integrated the power of the Blood and Flesh Ganoderma.

Even so, he felt his body filled with vitality.

The damage caused by the conflict of his two bloodline powers could be rapidly healed.

This level of recovery was comparable to super-regeneration.

Moreover, Zheng Dong felt that his body was stronger than that of a legendary beast tamer.

With his strength alone, he could easily kill a cow with a single punch.

Of course, this was still a temporary solution.

Once the power of the Blood and Flesh Ganoderma was depleted, his physical condition would return to its previous state.

However, this Blood and Flesh Ganoderma was enough to sustain his body for half a year.

Everything seemed to be under the control of the Spirit of the Relic.

Zheng Dong frowned.

He pondered over a way to break free.

He felt the Ghost Ring within his body.

This peculiar Ghost Ring seemed to have merged with his body, making it impossible to destroy or remove.

The only solution now might be to seek the help of the Volcano Sect, using their power to counter the enemy.

The Fire God Sect wanted him to be an experiment.

Naturally, they wouldn't watch him die.

He just didn't know if the Fire God Sect could deal with the Spirit of the Relic and resolve the Ghost Ring.

As for Shen Bing and Shen Xue's mother.

Zheng Dong did not expect her to help.

The reason he returned with Shen Bing and Shen Xue was to let the mother and daughters meet.

Because no one could guarantee that there wouldn't be any more accidents.

At that time, they might not even have a chance to meet.

On the other side, Shen Bing and Shen Xue had also told their mother, Shen Jiuxiao, the entire story.

Shen Jiuxiao frowned and tried to examine the Ghost Rings within Shen Bing and Shen Xue.

Unfortunately, she found nothing.

"Damn it, whoever you are, how dare you threaten my daughters, I won't let you get away with it."

"Don't you two worry, just stay home for now, and I'll find a way to get rid of the Ghost Rings on you.

Also, what's your relationship with that kid?

Don't tell me you've fallen for him?"

Immediately, Shen Bing and Shen Xue shook their heads.

"No way, we're just ordinary friends," Shen Xue said.

Before Shen Jiuxiao could ask further, Shen Bing asked again:

"By the way, Mom, do you have a way to solve Zheng Dong's bloodline conflict problem? He was ambushed and now possesses the bloodline powers of both the Azure Dragon and the Vermilion Bird."

Seeing the worried expressions on Shen Bing and Shen Xue's faces.

Shen Jiuxiao understood her daughters' thoughts.

She gritted her teeth, wishing she could bite Zheng Dong to death herself.

"You brat, you'd be better off dead!"

So, she said impatiently:

"This is difficult to handle. He probably won't live much longer. You should stay away from him as soon as possible."

"Mom, how can you say that? If it weren't for him this time, we might not even be able to see you," Shen Xue said angrily.

Shen Bing also frowned.

"Alright, alright, I won't talk to you anymore. I need to go find someone to solve your troubles."

Afterward, Shen Jiuxiao left home and went to the Spiritual God Sect to seek a solution.

Compared to the Fire God Sect, the Spiritual God Sect had only a history of a few decades.

However, the Spiritual God Sect was not weak.

Because the leader of the Spiritual God Sect, Lone Wolf, possessed the ability to seize beast-taming talents, many beast tamers joined the Spiritual God Sect.

Moreover, regardless of talent, as long as one was loyal to the Spiritual God Sect, they would receive focused training and could also obtain talent beads to gain powerful beast-taming talents.

Shen Jiuxiao, as one of the many vice leaders of the Spiritual God Sect, naturally held considerable power and resources.

However, despite using all her authority, she could not find a way to resolve the Ghost Ring.

For this reason, Shen Jiuxiao did not return for several days.

In the villa, Zheng Dong enjoyed a few days of rare peace.

Seeing that Shen Jiuxiao had not returned, he decided to go to the Fire God Sect.

After all, time was limited, and he couldn't afford to wait any longer.

If it were in the past, he would have gone directly.

But now, he still had to inform Shen Bing and Shen Xue.

The two sisters were not familiar with the Fire God Sect.

Zheng Dong did not explain in detail.

He only told them that he would go to a mixed-race organization to find a way to resolve the bloodline conflict within his body, and that there might be danger.

After some discussion, the two sisters followed Zheng Dong's suggestion and entered one of Zheng Dong's relic spaces to accompany him to the Fire God Sect.

Subsequently, Zheng Dong arrived at the hotel where he had previously met the Holy Maiden of the Fire God Sect, Wei Yi.

He knocked on the door of the room where Wei Yi had previously stayed.

Wei Yi was fortunate. After discovering that Zheng Dong had not lost his mind due to the two bloodline powers, she had left the Ghost Soul Relic space and did not continue to follow.

After all, she was also worried about being exposed and Zheng Dong noticing something unusual.

After leaving the Ghost Soul Relic space, she returned to the hotel and waited for Zheng Dong to come looking for her.

She was confident that Zheng Dong, in order to resolve the conflict of the two bloodline powers within his body, would definitely come to her and join the God-Making Plan.

Zheng Dong did indeed come.

However, he was more interested in resolving the quasi-divine skill, the Ghost Ring.

When Zheng Dong knocked on the door, he saw a beautifully dressed Wei Yi appear before him.

"You're finally here, earlier than expected. What would you like to drink? Or a cocktail?" Wei Yi smiled.

She was very enthusiastic, making Zheng Dong feel like a long-time friend.

Zheng Dong did not feel restrained.

"A cocktail, please. The one you made last time tasted great."

"If you like it, I'll make you a few more glasses.

I won't be responsible if you get drunk. I have plenty of rooms here, so feel free to sleep anywhere," Wei Yi said.

Soon, Wei Yi prepared the tools for making cocktails.

As she mixed the drinks, she chatted with Zheng Dong.

After a few pleasantries, Zheng Dong got to the point.

"Do you know I would come to find you?"

"Of course, who wouldn't want to become a mythical-level beast tamer? Moreover, we in the Fire God Sect are doing all this not for ourselves, but for all of Yanhuang," Wei Yi said calmly.

"My body is in a very bad state. The Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird bloodline powers are fighting within me," Zheng Dong said.

Wei Yi's face showed surprise and concern.

"What happened? How could you still possess the Vermilion Bird's bloodline power?"

Zheng Dong did not answer immediately. He observed Wei Yi.

He could not detect any flaws in this woman.

"You should ask yourselves. Hu Maoxue ambushed me and injected a potion containing the Vermilion Bird's bloodline power into my body."

"Hu Maoxue? I haven't seen him for over half a month. Why would he ambush you? Isn't he supposed to be cultivating?"

Wei Yi's eyes were full of confusion and innocence.

This made it seem as if she knew nothing.

"You're not going to pretend to know nothing, are you! Hu Maoxue didn't have the Vermilion Bird bloodline potion himself," Zheng Dong questioned coldly.

"I really don't know about this. Although Hu Maoxue didn't have the Vermilion Bird bloodline potion, he could apply for it internally from our Fire God Sect. With his accumulated contribution points over the years, he was eligible to apply for the Vermilion Bird bloodline potion," Wei Yi said.

She had already prepared to shift all the blame to Hu Maoxue and had no intention of admitting any involvement.

To prevent Zheng Dong from holding a grudge against herself and the Fire God Sect, she continued:

"Even so, our Fire God Sect will take responsibility for everything Hu Maoxue has done. We will find him and hand him over to you personally for handling. Also, what other compensation do you want? I can help you apply for it to make up for the harm Hu Maoxue has caused you."

This was exactly what Zheng Dong wanted to hear.

As for the truth of the matter, it was no longer important.

Hu Maoxue was dead, and Zheng Dong now needed to cooperate with the Fire God Sect to improve his strength and get rid of the Spirit of the Relic from the Ghost Soul Relic space.

Although participating in the God-Making experiment was dangerous, it was relatively safer than entering the Netherworld Ghost King Realm.

Therefore, Zheng Dong pondered for a moment and said:

"Within two months, I want to become a legendary-level beast tamer. If your Fire God Sect can achieve this, then this matter will be settled.

Otherwise, don't even think about me joining the God-Making Plan!"

Wei Yi frowned.

Zheng Dong was currently a Grandmaster-level beast tamer. She was not confident about helping him advance to a legendary-level beast tamer within two months.

She had initially thought Zheng Dong would ask for resources.

Even legendary-tier resources, she could apply for.

After thinking for a moment, she said:

"Zheng Dong, I can't guarantee it, but our Fire God Sect can fully assist you to become a legendary-level beast tamer as soon as possible!"

"I believe your Fire God Sect has the strength to do it. If you can't do it, how can you make me believe that you can ensure my safety in the God-Making Plan," Zheng Dong said with a smile.

Wei Yi did not speak and took a sip of her wine.

"Since you believe in us, our Fire God Sect will definitely help you achieve it."

Afterward, Wei Yi asked Zheng Dong to stay at the hotel and wait for her news.

Although she was the Holy Maiden of the Fire God Sect and held great authority, she could not make decisions on this matter, as it required mobilizing various forces of the Fire God Sect.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly.

Three days later, Wei Yi returned to the hotel and took Zheng Dong to a mythical-level relic space controlled by the Fire God Sect.

This mythical-level relic space was discovered during the Yan Emperor period and had been preserved to this day.

Cultivating in this relic space, the cultivation speed was much faster than in the Abyss Relic space.

However, it also consumed more resources.

Moreover, even with the use of this mythical-level relic space, it could not guarantee that Zheng Dong could cultivate into a legendary-level beast tamer within two months.

Other methods would also be needed.

From Grandmaster to Legendary was a significant hurdle.

This was tens of times more difficult than advancing from an advanced beast tamer to a master-level beast tamer.

For this reason, the Fire God Sect had also prepared legendary-tier resources for Zheng Dong: Enlightenment Bodhi Fruit, Spirit-Calming Poria, and Blood Man Fruit.

The Enlightenment Bodhi Fruit could allow Zheng Dong to remain in a state of enlightenment, reaching a state of unity between heaven and man.

The Spirit-Calming Poria could enhance Zheng Dong's mental strength.

Zheng Dong's mental strength had reached the advanced level, and further improvement would lead to top-tier mental strength.

Top-tier mental strength, followed by further improvement, would lead to quasi-divine mental strength.

Most legendary-level beast tamers did not possess top-tier mental strength.

Only titled legends and legendary-level beast tamers met the standard of top-tier mental strength.

As for quasi-divine mental strength, only a few powerful legendary-level beast tamers achieved it, such as the legendary Dragon Shock.

The legendary Dragon Shock could suppress a overlord-level extraordinary creature with his mental strength alone.

The Blood Man Fruit, on the other hand, could strengthen Zheng Dong's body.

However, its effect was far inferior to the Blood and Flesh Ganoderma.

Nevertheless, this was the best body-strengthening resource that the Fire God Sect could offer.

In addition to this, the Fire God Sect had also invited a mysterious titled legend to help.

This titled legend was of the time element, and his contracted pets were primarily of the time element.

He used his pet's skills to set up a grand formation that could accelerate Zheng Dong's cultivation time.

In this way, Zheng Dong could cultivate more quickly.
