Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1466 - 414: Visitors from Self Transformation Valley

"Are you leaving already?" A trace of regret surfaced on Liu Changxuan’s face, though he understood that Lin Su’s mind was set. "Very well, get some rest. I will reach out to the Self Transformation Sect ahead of time."

"My thanks, senior." Lin Su turned toward the Lin Venerate and offered another bow. "I am grateful for the guidance you provided Qiuqiu during these past few days."

"It is rare to encounter such a fascinating junior. Offering a bit of direction was a small matter, so there is no need for such formality." The Lin Venerate gave a lighthearted laugh. "I shall see you back to your sleeping quarters."

Lin Su gave a nod, and in a flash, his form blurred and vanished from the location.

Once Lin Su had departed, Liu Changxuan let out an involuntary sigh. "A genius of that caliber... it would have been wonderful if he could have remained within our Sect."

"Hehe, I suspect the Nether Soul Palace shares that sentiment." The Lin Venerate chuckled from beside him. "One cannot force these matters; he is already a member of a Sect, so there is no point in being insistent."

"Furthermore, the time he spent at our Sect can be viewed as a bond of karma and goodwill."

Liu Changxuan nodded in agreement, then suddenly recalled the message Daoist Zou had sent when Lin Su departed the Nether Soul Palace.

With a glint of mischief dancing in his eyes, he produced a communication token.

A moment later, a woman’s voice drifted from the device. "Daoist Liu, what is the occasion?"

"Tomorrow, Lin Su of the Eastern Extreme Domain will depart our Qianling Sect and travel toward Self Transformation Valley," Liu Changxuan stated in a level tone. "Our Sect’s Immortals will be escorting him, so the Self Transformation Valley should make the necessary preparations."

"Ah!" The female voice grew suddenly animated. "Lin Su is finally arriving? I must arrange a magnificent welcoming ceremony immediately."

"I have heard reports that Lin Su possesses a pet beast with all attributes; the Immortals of our Sect are extremely curious about it!"

"The ancient records and scrolls within the Lingxia Secret Realm must be organized beforehand as well. That way, Lin Su will surely be able to decipher them with greater speed."

"And also..."

As he listened to the woman on the other side chatter incessantly, the mischievous light in Liu Changxuan’s eyes slowly died away.

Something wasn't right.

This was very wrong!

"Daoist Miao... how is it that you are so well-informed regarding Lin Su?" he couldn't help but interject.

"Eh?" The woman went silent for a heartbeat, followed by a playful giggle from the other side of the token. "Daoist Zou informed me half a month ago!"

Liu Changxuan: "..."

Fine then, so be it.

"Oh, that's right—there is no need for the Qianling Sect's Immortals to act as escorts tomorrow. I shall lead our own Sect’s Immortals to fetch him personally." A sudden burst of activity sounded from the other end before the connection abruptly cut off.

Feeling a bit dejected, Liu Changxuan shook his head. "Forget it."

...

"Ta! ʕ✪ᴥ✪ʔ" (The five-colored item!)

Back in the sleeping quarters, Tata eagerly produced the treasure chest.

Previously, because it was consumed with worry over Qiuqiu’s safety, it hadn't tried to utilize the five-colored item this time, nor had it even taken a proper look at the object.

Now that Qiuqiu had returned unharmed and had even secured significant opportunities, everyone’s spirits were high. It was time to discover its own fortuitous encounter!

"Alright." Lin Su flashed a smile and flipped open the chest. "Once we absorb the five-colored item this time, we..."

His voice died in his throat.

As the lid opened, the five-colored item was revealed to the human and his five pets.

"This particular five-colored item is quite strange." He lifted one, cradling it in his hand to inspect it with curiosity.

It was a small, elegant object shaped like a bell. Its body was crystal-like and possessed a soft reddish tint.

Luminous inscriptions were etched into both the inner and outer surfaces of the ancient bell, giving it a striking beauty.

There weren't many of these bell-shaped objects in the chest; compared to their previous hauls, there were only about a hundred this time. Along with the varying colors, the patterns decorating the ancient bells were also different.

Even more unusual was the arrangement. In past chests, the five-colored items were simply heaped together.

This time, however, the bells were positioned neatly and cushioned by soft silk fabric, evidently to keep them from bumping into one another.

"How exactly do you go about absorbing this?" Lin Su wondered aloud, giving the bell a curious shake.

In an instant, the object resonated like a true ancient bell, releasing a deep, heavy toll.

The etched lines flared with a brilliant, blinding light.

Visible waves of pale red energy rippled out from the bell, expanding in every direction.

"This is..."

Lin Su watched in total shock as the power of the bell-shaped item began to bleed away into the vibrating sound waves.

Tata, standing nearby, was equally dazed.

The sound waves washed over its body, yet there didn't appear to be any noticeable effect.

The other four little ones traded confused glances, watching as the ripples continued to grow, passing through them without impact and echoing endlessly within the room.

Suddenly, Qiuqiu’s mask gave a faint flicker.

"Ke? (｡ϟ｡)" (Perhaps try a song?)

"Tricks."

This suggestion sparked an idea for Lin Su. His eyes lit up, and he spoke quickly. "Sing the Battle Song. It is a skill you awakened using the light red gemstone; perhaps it will trigger a reaction."

Tata nodded vigorously, raised its tail, and began its melody.

As the Battle Song filled the sleeping quarters, the pale red ripples finally began to transform.

They started to vibrate in resonance with Tata’s song, churning up an even more intense energy!

The aura of the other four pets began to skyrocket at a staggering pace.

While the Battle Song had always provided a boost to the four little ones, the amplification this time was vastly superior—nearly doubling their strength.

"Try the others as well!" Lin Su urged, his eyes shining with excitement.
