Lin Su was actually not surprised to meet the powerful Beast Tamer who had saved him that day at the Beast Taming Union.
Near the Frost Fall Mountain Range, there was only one big city, Yongnan City, and the stranger was almost certainly from the Yongnan City Beast Taming Union, something Lin Su had anticipated.
But to find out that the person was actually the Vice President of the Beast Taming Union, Lin Su still felt a little bit taken aback.
He had heard before that there was only one Vice President in the Beast Taming Union. He had not expected that this was the senior who saved him.
Looking at Lin Su, the Vice President initially had a look of confusion until he saw Qiuqiu in his arms. Then, a flicker of understanding passed through his eyes.
It’s him.
Halting his steps, the handsome middle-aged man glanced at the union staff and spoke slowly, “What’s going on?”
“Vice President, this man just registered as an official Beast Tamer at the union today. He’s been asking me about the knowledge of preparing energy liquids…” The union staff quickly explained.
The man nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Lin Su, “You want to learn to prepare energy liquids?”
Without waiting for Lin Su to respond, he turned and walked towards the stairs leading to the second floor, “Come with me.”
This… what’s going on?
Lin Su was somewhat astonished. freewebnvel.coɱ
This turn of events was completely different from what he had imagined.
His initial plan was to borrow a few books related to energy liquid preparation, to learn on his own while also inquiring about the identity of the Beast Tamer who saved him. Then, to prepare a thank-you gift in advance for the next time he visited the Beast Taming Union to express his gratitude.
Plans could not keep up with changes.
The union staff beside him was momentarily stunned. Seeing Lin Su standing there dumbfounded, they quickly patted his shoulder, “What are you waiting for? Come on, hurry up!”
“The Vice President is the only person in our union who can prepare Emperor Level energy liquids. You’ve hit the jackpot!”
The only one who can prepare Emperor Level energy liquids?
Lin Su snapped back to reality and swiftly followed the Vice President.
Before long, the two arrived in a room with dozens of huge bookshelves, each filled with various kinds of books and materials.
The Vice President did not look at Lin Su or explain why he had brought him there but was just focused on searching for something in the bookshelves.
Seeing this, Lin Su stood quietly to the side, waiting.
After quite a while, a faint voice came, “On that day, even if I had not arrived, you would have had a chance to live.”
Lin Su looked up to the Vice President who was still searching for books, his face showing a hint of puzzlement.
Back in the Frost Fall Mountain Range, he clearly had run with all his might but was still no match for the Snow Lynx. In the end, he was gravely injured by its claw strike, and if not for the timely medical intervention by the Vice President, such a fatal injury would not have allowed him to survive.
Yet, this senior was implying that even without him, Lin Su still had a chance to live?
What did he mean by that?
“I’m not quite sure what senior means.” Lin Su furrowed his brows in thought and, in the end, couldn’t help but speak up.
The Vice President paused briefly in his actions, glanced at Lin Su, and continued his search, “If you had ordered your companion beast to cover your retreat that day, you could have escaped, couldn’t you?”
Ordering the companion beast to cover the retreat?
Lin Su’s expression turned a bit unsightly, “My beast is no match for the Snow Lynx. Asking it to cover my retreat would be sending it to its death, wouldn’t it?”
The Vice President stopped completely, holding the book he had just found. He walked slowly over to Lin Su, his eyes showing a trace of an enigmatic gleam.
“A companion beast can be contracted again after death, but a Beast Tamer has only one life.”
“I cannot accept such reasoning.” Lin Su shook his head without hesitation, his gaze towards the Vice President turning somewhat cold, “I believe a companion beast is a Beast Tamer’s lifelong partner and comrade in arms. How could it be intentionally sent to die just to ensure one’s own survival?”
“Partner and comrade in arms, huh?” The man, who did not seem given to laughter, suddenly revealed a hint of amusement in his expression after standing there for a while, “That’s a very good answer.”
“Hm?” Lin Su was momentarily stunned, “So the questions senior asked just now, were they some kind of test?”
“A test?” The man nodded, “If that’s how you want to understand it, sure.”
He handed over a few books to Lin Su, “This is the material and common recipes for basic energy liquids. With these books, you can teach yourself the preparation of basic energy liquids.”
“Usually, Beast Tamers who come to the Beast Taming Union to learn the preparation of energy liquids are taught from these books, but…” The man glanced at Lin Su, “Since your answer pleased me, you have a second option.”
“A second option?”
“Correct.” The man’s Space Ring glinted, and an ancient-looking, thick notebook appeared in his hand, “These are some of my notes and insights on the basic energy liquids…”
“I choose the second option,” Lin Su said without hesitation.
He had clearly heard just now, the man before him was the only one in the union capable of preparing Emperor Level energy liquids. Since he was the strongest in the union at preparing energy liquids, then his notes had to be extraordinary.
Interrupting the man, Lin Su didn’t cause any annoyance; the man casually swung the notebook, “These notes aren’t anything precious, but they’re not something just anyone can get. First, you have to prove that you have the ability.”
“I want to try,” Lin Su’s face showed an interested expression.
The man nodded, pulled out a page from the notebook, and handed it to Lin Su, “This is a universal energy liquid, the one with the lowest difficulty to prepare among the basic energy liquids. Its effect is not strong and can only be used to replenish a companion beast’s energy consumption, without any attribute enhancements.”
