The Innkeeper

Chapter 1295  Devourer of dragons

The question seemed so cute to Lex.

"If I suggest to you and it's not at the very least an entirely pureblooded, authentic Mythic being then that would besmirch my reputation. Follow me, and tell me what your requirements are. I won't force you, but if you explain to me how your Beast master cultivation works, then I'd be able to offer you the best advice."

Liz thought for a moment, holding the golden key to the Inn that Lex had handed her, and then disappeared from the Inn. Lex raised an eyebrow. Was asking for details of her cultivation too much?

Before he could give it much thought, though, she reappeared.

Convinced now that she could come and go from the Inn as she pleased, Liz felt a little more comfortable as she followed Lex.

"The Beast Master cultivation path is an offshoot from the Beast Taming cultivation path, which is focused on taming and controlling numerous Beasts with immense power. To be a Beast Master, one must first tame a Beast, and then form a bond. Once the bond is formed, the Beast Master can then fuse with the Beast, absorbing all its strengths and adding them to their own.

"Theoretically, I can change which Beast I fuse with later on, but the first time that bond is formed, the advantage I'll gain will be immense. The 100% affinity I have for this cultivation path means that I can achieve the perfect fusion with whichever Beast I form a bond with. Considering how many rare and powerful Beasts there are in the universe, the potential for this path of cultivation is actually greater than traditional cultivation.

"That's because the powers of my fused Beast will be added to my own, multiplying my power. So that means alongside traditional cultivation, which will allow me to climb through the realms, I will have the power of the Mythic Beast I fuse with. Even if the cultivation of the Beast itself lags behind, as long as it is fused with my power, the outcome will be great.

"For example, if I become an immortal, yet I fuse with a Beast in the Golden core realm, as long as that beast has good enough potential, my power will skyrocket. That's why I was looking for the Gilded Dolphin. It has a bloodline ability that…"

They were so rare that one might not be seen across a hundred different realms. The only reason Liz even knew about it was because of her education in Ventura. Her brain stopped working so that when Lex gently used a finger to close her hanging jaw, she did not even notice.

Liz stopped talking, and tried to resist her jaw dropping once more, but failed when she saw what Lex was waving at. They had walked to an opening nearby and climbed up on a large boulder when Lex whistled and waved at the clouds. At first there was nothing, yet when the clouds broke free Liz laid her eyes on a Beast out of legend.

Dragons themselves were Beasts of absolute power and influence, known far and wide across the universe. So then Kun Peng, the only Beast that actually considered dragons as a part of their regular diet, were of another level.

They were so rare that one might not be seen across a hundred different realms. The only reason Liz even knew about it was because of her education in Ventura. Her brain stopped working so that when Lex gently used a finger to close her hanging jaw, she did not even notice.

Instead, she only had eyes for the magnificent whale, swimming through the skies as it gradually made its way to them.

"This is Little Blue. I'd tell you to fuse with him, but he's kind of a mascot for the Inn, so it won't be appropriate. But don't worry, I'll find you something else just as good. By the way, out of curiosity, do Mountain-men count as Beasts?"

"Of course they count as Beasts. Why would you ask such a…"

This time, as her gaze fell on the towering mountain in the shape of a man in the distance, Liz managed to resist her jaw dropping. Or maybe she was too frozen to drop her jaw.

"I… I can't fuse with something so big…" she said, suddenly out of breath. "How will I take it around with me?"

"Huh? Oh, don't worry. I wasn't going to ask you to fuse with the Mountain-man anyway. That's a guest who fell asleep and hasn't woken up yet. If he still doesn't wake up in a couple of years, I'll have to wake him up myself when rent is due."

Little Blue was taking its time in coming down, especially when it saw how Liz was stunned by its appearance. It wanted to show off a little more, especially since everyone here was already used to its appearance. Unfortunately for it, Kun Peng though it might be becoming, and devourer of dragons it may evolve into, but a neglector of Lex it would never be. Lex waved his finger once more, summoning the whale down, and as if a lasso was caught around its neck, the whale was pulled down. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Don't waste so much time, we have things to do," Lex admonished the dragon devourer, and then stepped onto its back, then held out a hand for Liz. "Come aboard. Let me show you some of the options we have, though I think I already have the perfect Beast in mind for you."

Little Blue moaned in discontent, but it did not throw any tantrums. Lex had once threatened to pull out the feathers on its wings and use them as a quill when he was bothering Lex too much. Although Little Blue was certain Lex was just joking, he didn't have the courage to test it out.

Once Liz climbed aboard, still a little dazed, Little Blue finally gained a hint of courage, and flapped its wings with all its might, suddenly dashing through the sky. Although Little Blue was far off from it, Kun Peng could fly through the stars, going from one star system to the next with a flap of the wings.

In comparison, Little Blue still needed a little effort to break the sound barrier. But when it was feeling particularly mischievous, wanting to scare those riding on its back, it could go supersonic in just a few flaps of its wings. Today, though, it managed to do that in a single go.
