Chapter 1763: Chapter 1610: Another World Entertainment Tycoon 40
The young veterinarian closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "I recognize this snake, it’s called Xuan Fire, and its owner was a good friend of mine during his lifetime."
After saying this, the young veterinarian began treating Xuan Fire, first by using Mystic Energy to assess its pulse, then examining the internal injuries.
The more he examined, the grimmer the young veterinarian’s expression became. Xuan Fire was undoubtedly severely injured, its external wounds apparent enough, but upon a thorough check, the damage was far more severe than it appeared.
Xuan Fire not only had many deep wounds down to the bone, its Core was shattered, and the meridians throughout its body were all severed. It was only alive due to the tenacious Life Force of the spirit beast.
Even if treated, with injuries this severe, Xuan Fire would be a crippled snake, not even comparable to a Level 1 spirit beast, just like an ordinary wild animal.
Jian Shuangshuang noticed the young veterinarian’s solemn expression after examining Xuan Fire and realized the injuries were certainly problematic.
Soon, the young veterinarian took out an Elixir, placed it by Xuan Fire’s mouth, and Xuan Fire obediently swallowed it, using its large head to nuzzle the veterinarian’s palm.
This was an expression of closeness, indicating that Xuan Fire was indeed acquainted with this young veterinarian, and their relationship was quite good.
After consuming the Elixir, Xuan Fire quickly fell asleep. Seeing Jian Shuangshuang’s worried gaze, the young veterinarian comforted her, "This Elixir helps heal its external injuries.
Its injuries are too severe, so it’s overwhelmed by the medicinal effect and fell asleep, but it’s okay. When it wakes up, the external injuries will be healed."
The young veterinarian’s demeanor became more serious as he said to Jian Shuangshuang, "My name is Hao Ren, a friend of Xuan Fire’s owner. Can you tell me where you found Xuan Fire?"
This wasn’t something difficult to explain, so Jian Shuangshuang said directly, "I encountered Xuan Fire at the breeding ground behind the Taste Hundred Flavors Restaurant. Seeing it had likely gained Spiritual Wisdom, I rescued it."
"To think it was sent to Taste Hundred Flavors!" Hao Ren said with some anger, his gentle face showing a sharp murderous intent due to his rage.
Hao Ren had to take a few deep breaths to suppress his inner anger and hostility, apologizing to Jian Shuangshuang, "I’m sorry, I was just too angry."
Jian Shuangshuang shook her head, rare curiosity piqued, "Can you tell me about Xuan Fire?
It’s a spirit beast with newfound Wisdom, and even if injured, it should be well-treated until its end. Why was it sold to Taste Hundred Flavors as a meat spirit beast?"
Hao Ren bitterly smiled, "There’s nothing to hide about this; it starts with my friend, Xuan Fire’s owner..."
Hao Ren’s friend was named Fan Chusheng. The Fan Family was a small family, and Fan Chusheng was a child of the family’s collateral line. The family was small, so the Cultivation Resources they could get were naturally limited.
Moreover, after Fan Chusheng was tested to have a mid-to-upper Cultivation Talent at age ten, the court rewarded a portion of Cultivation Resources annually, yet most were embezzled by the direct lineage.
If not for Fan Chusheng’s Talent and diligence, who broke through to Xuan Master’s Level at age eighteen and completely detached from the Fan Family, it was uncertain how long he’d still be suffering resource embezzlement.
Because he received court’s Cultivation Resources for years, upon leaving the Fan Family, Fan Chusheng intended to attend a school established by the court, graduate, and directly join the military, serving the court in gratitude for the training.
It was at school that Hao Ren became friends with Fan Chusheng, and Xuan Fire was a prize Fan Chusheng won in a fight there.
Fan Chusheng’s low-key nature ensured the opponent underestimated him, eyeing the Cultivation Spirit Jade awarded by the school to Fan Chusheng, driven by greed.
Thinking they’d surely win against Fan Chusheng, the opponent staked heavily for a win, but misjudged, losing both the match and their own wager.
After winning the prize, with Xuan Fire still a Spirit Beast Egg, Fan Chusheng valued it and personally used Mystic Energy to incubate it, thoughtfully naming it upon birth.
From the time Xuan Fire was small, Fan Chusheng personally cared for it, raising it little by little, their bond extremely close.
Spirit beasts typically have slow cultivation speeds, but with a trace of Fire Dragon bloodline, Xuan Fire’s Cultivation Talent was exceptional. In just five years, it reached Fourth-level Spirit Beast status.
Because of Xuan Fire’s rapid cultivation, Fan Chusheng was reluctant to bind it with a contract.
Of course, Fan Chusheng’s reluctance wasn’t because it was an exploitative Master-Servant Contract or something like a slave contract.
Battle Pets are raised from young, and many are unwilling to sign harsh Master-Servant Contracts.
These contracts restrict the spirit beast’s cultivation speed; with a mere thought, the owner can punish or even kill the Battle Pet, which is very cruel to spirit beasts.
Most contracts signed with Battle Pets are equal contracts, but a downside is that those with lower cultivation often drag down those with higher levels, affecting the latter’s cultivation speed.
With Xuan Fire’s extraordinary Cultivation Talent, Fan Chusheng was unwilling to hinder it, choosing not to contract it, believing their deep bond made a contract unnecessary.
The primary use of an equal contract is actually for locating each other easily, and for sense when one party is in danger.
Fan Chusheng felt since he and Xuan Fire were always together, they didn’t need mutual locating, not realizing this thought would invite disaster for him and Xuan Fire.
Equal contracts aren’t just for easy locating and danger alert; more importantly, they mutually bind, preventing others from targeting one’s spirit beast.
Once a contract is in place, unless voluntarily broken, even a Xuan Saint couldn’t dissolve it, thus avoiding someone forcibly seizing high-grade or highly-talented spirit beasts.
Because Fan Chusheng didn’t contract Xuan Fire, and with its incredible cultivation speed, they caught the attention of someone ambitious, intending to seize Xuan Fire.
That person colluded with Fan Chusheng’s family, luring Fan Chusheng back to the family with Fan Family’s hands.
Ironically, at this time, Hao Ren was at a critical juncture of achieving Great Xuan Master, retreating to family seclusion and unable to be by Fan Chusheng’s side.
Fan Chusheng originally had no wish to return to the Fan Family, without any bond with them, as his parents, though members of the Fan Family, were long dead, leaving him an orphan.
At the Fan Family, he’d barely avoided starving, constantly insulted as an orphan, a bad omen, regularly beaten and bullied.
