Beast Taming: I Can Bestow Entries-Chapter 238: Crisis of Initial City

"Such things can’t be forced. We might not even encounter other pirate crews, so let’s talk about it if we do."

Chen Mo maintained a mindset of letting things take their course.

This trip to the Vortex Sea was meant for a vacation, after all; the priorities must not be reversed.

Aside from the wealth in the three space rings, the biggest gain this time was the bodies of the Mo Sea Octopus and the Crab General, these two spiritual beasts.

A complete quasi-monarch Mo Sea Octopus is an epic-level ingredient, and the Commander Ninth Rank Crab General is also a top-quality rare ingredient, mainly because of its large quantity and fulfilling nature.

Coincidentally, there is a famous dish in Sichuan cuisine called stir-fried squid.

Cuttlefish and squid aren’t much different, fully interchangeable.

The Crab General, on the other hand, can be made into delicious crab roe casserole and spicy dry pot crab.

In short, tonight’s supper is settled.

——————————————

The bright moon hung high, stars filled the sky.

On the silent sea surface, there was an "Isolated Island" rushing forward swiftly, with faint flickers of orange-red fire on it.

Chen Mo lay comfortably on the back of the Isolated Island Spirit, the sea breeze gently blowing, bringing an inexplicable sense of comfort and joy to him.

He had been busy participating in various competitions or exploring secret realms, with his nerves constantly tense.

Now, after relaxing, Chen Mo felt an unprecedented sense of beauty.

"This is what life should be!"

"Woo~"

The Wish-making White Fox responded softly, the little creature curled up in Chen Mo’s arms, looking up at the starry sky with him, its three fluffy tails swaying unconsciously.

The little blue bird, however, couldn’t stay awake and fell asleep first, its sleeping posture amusing, with its feet skyward, one leg occasionally kicking wildly like a small electric motor.

Seeing this, Chen Mo naturally recorded it all.

Little Blue Bird Social Death Material +1.

"If I brush up a social death expert entry next, maybe these materials could come in handy."

Chen Mo thought somewhat wickedly.

Sizzle!

At this moment, an aroma that stimulated his taste buds came to his nose, the scent of stir-fried cuttlefish!

Under Chef Tuan Tuan’s exquisite culinary skills, two cuttlefish tentacles were quickly transformed into fragrant stir-fried cuttlefish shreds, just the aroma was enough to make the neighbor’s kids cry with envy.

The moment it was served, a golden light flickered across the surface of the stir-fried cuttlefish shreds; it was another epic-quality gourmet dish!

"Let’s eat!"

"Woo!"

"Ying!"

...

Smelling the aroma, the little blue bird’s nose twitched hard, then suddenly opened its eyes, flipped over, and woke up.

Seeing the gourmet food, it couldn’t bother with its grace and elegance, flapping its wings hurriedly to join in.

Quick hands get the prize, slow hands get none!

That’s its biggest realization these days!

After eating half a cuttlefish tentacle, Xiao Jiu’s body unconsciously emitted crimson sparks.

"Woo!?"

Xiao Jiu felt the fire element spiritual power within suddenly become extremely active, followed by a vague surge feeling — if it practiced fire element techniques now, the efficiency would be greatly enhanced!

"This is a pleasant surprise!"

Seeing this, Chen Mo couldn’t help but laugh.

This was the effect of the [Sichuan Cuisine Spirit Chef], which could grant a special effect to every Sichuan dish!

And the effect of the stir-fried cuttlefish was—within a period, greatly enhancing the efficiency of spiritual beasts learning and training fire element techniques.

So, after Xiao Jiu finished the stir-fried cuttlefish, he cast a Wish Technique on himself and began to train the Flame Tail technique; the flow of fire element spiritual power within became incomparably smooth.

In human terms, it was as if it had entered a state of "enlightenment."

In the early hours, the two bright moons overhead sank into the sea, the horizon in the distance slightly brightening.

After more than two hours of training, Xiao Jiu practiced the high-level technique Flame Tail to perfect proficiency.

The most significant change is that now Xiao Jiu can condense a shadow Flame Tail entirely composed of Corona Flame.

This way, it can attack opponents without direct contact, greatly enhancing its attack range, also considered a qualitative improvement.

"Woo~~"

Xiao Jiu was very satisfied with this training efficiency.

It’s known that improving high-level techniques is extremely difficult.

But with the combined effect of stir-fried cuttlefish, Wish Technique, and scroll gods, plus its bit of effort, enhancing proficiency in high-level techniques became as easy as eating or drinking water!

And this was only after consuming two tentacles of the Ink Sea Cuttlefish; if all of them were made into stir-fried cuttlefish, Xiao Jiu felt it might brush the Flame Tail technique proficiency to a superb level!

High-level technique proficiency of superb level is a realm that most Monarch Stage spiritual beasts cannot reach!

Not long after, the Isolated Island Spirit finally arrived at the Vortex Sea Market.

Although it was already early morning, the entire Vortex Sea Market was brightly lit, with palaces densely packed within the city, and neon signs hanging from shops on both sides of the street, making it look very much like a sleepless city.

"We’ve arrived at the market, let’s part ways here!"

Chen Mo woke up the group sleeping on the Isolated Island Spirit’s back.

Previously, on the Chiya Pirate Ship, these people were treated as the lowest level laborers, required to work 24/7.

So after being rescued, once relaxed, most people fell asleep unconsciously, with only a few more vigilant ones still awake.

After expressing their gratitude to Chen Mo again, they began to go ashore one after another to find their families or organizational forces.

Only that delicate young man stayed behind.

"Senior, are you from Initial City?"

The young man clasped his fist toward Chen Mo, respectfully.

Through previous brief communication, Chen Mo learned his name was Xie Feng, the only son of the Second Elder on Cancer Island.

"Hmm."

Chen Mo nodded, not surprised that Xie Feng could identify his identity at a glance.

He was now wearing a short sleeve, which was something people from Initial City often wore, while residents of the Penglai Islands generally preferred silk or linen shirts, with a somewhat ancient style.

"Senior, if there are no special circumstances... You’d better not return to Initial City recently."

Xie Feng’s eyes were slightly hesitant, finally speaking to Chen Mo ambiguously.

"What do you mean? Are you saying Initial City might experience turmoil soon?"

Chen Mo asked with a frown.

The young man did not immediately answer, after a while, he sighed softly and said slowly:

"I am not very clear about the exact situation; it was just that my father warned me against heading to the sea near Initial City recently."

He actually understood what would happen next in Initial City but could not express it.

"If the senior has relatives there, it’s best to get them relocated quickly."

"Is it a beast tide?"

Chen Mo asked.

As he knew, the current City Lord of Initial City concurrently serves as the Spirit Director, an old Crown Spirit Master, possessing 3 overlord level spiritual beasts, with formidable power.

With him around, Chen Mo felt that only a large-scale beast tide or multiple overlord level spiritual beasts invading together could threaten Initial City.
