Cultivation Pet Shop

Lin Fan quickly overcame his shock and looked at Zhu Ba Jie again, finding that he couldn't see through this man's aura at all.

Lin Fan's spiritual sense was actually stronger than his cultivation, which allowed him to control pets that were stronger than him, which was why even though he was in the mid Platinum Realm, his pets could be in the high Platinum Realm.

Of course, with the bloodlines that his pets had, they could easily break through, but they didn't since if they did, Lin Fan would lose control of his pets. Still their battle strength was above their cultivation, since they were pets with rare bloodlines, reaching the peak of the Platinum Realm.

For Lin Fan to be unable to sense this man's cultivation, it meant that he was already at the peak of the Platinum Realm or he might even be a Legendary Realm Expert!

Mu Bo Hai and Zhu Ba Jie naturally could sense Lin Fan's probing, so they both revealed smiles.

Mu Bo Hai said, "Owner Lin, there's no need for this. Let me introduce my friend here, he is Zhu Ba Jie, the patriarch of the Zhu Family and a Legendary Realm Expert just like me. But if we're to compare who is stronger, I would still have to say that it's me."

Zhu Ba Jie gave a snort, "Old man, you're a hundred years older than me, it would be a shame if you were also weaker than me."

Mu Bo Hai said, "Little brat, do you still remember when I saved you when we were surrounded by those beasts?"

Zhu Ba Jie didn't give up, "Old man, do you remember when I killed that frog and carried you back?"

Seeing these two old men squabbling like kids, Lin Fan couldn't help revealing a smile, but then he revealed a serious look and said, "Elder Zhu, while I am honoured that you would be inviting me to build a branch in Water Pearl City, I do have to ask, why me?"

Zhu Ba Jie ignored Mu Bo Hai and turned back to Lin Fan to say with a smile, "Owner Lin, there's no need to sell yourself short. Your store is a wonderful store with all kinds of amazing products, especially that 100% purity pet food. That is a treasure that others would auction off, yet here you are selling it for a low price. If our city were to have access to that, it would increase the power of humans as a race and we would be able to easily fend off the beasts. So, why wouldn't I invite you to invest in a branch store?"

Lin Fan looked at Zhu Ba Jie with a doubtful gaze. While his words did sound righteous, it couldn't have made it sound even more fake. If Lin Fan were to really believe these words, it might have been easier to call him an idiot.

Lin Fan just looked at him with one raised brow without saying a thing and after a few seconds, Zhu Bai Jie revealed an awkward smile.

Zhu Bai Jie tried waiting a few more seconds, but seeing that Lin Fan wasn't planning on saying a thing, he finally relented and said, "Alright, to be honest, it's not just the request of our Zhu Family, it's also the request of the Monster Tamer Union."

Lin Fan revealed a confused look, "Monster Trainer Union? What do they have to do with this?"

Zhu Ba Jie revealed a knowing smile as he said, "Owner Lin, there's no need to hide it. It's clear from the customers of this shop that there's a very skilled Monster Trainer here and based on the training the customers have received, this is a Monster Trainer who isn't just skilled in a single element. As you already know, Monster Trainers usually choose a type of pet to specialize in, allowing them to give the best training to the pets of that attribute. It's rare to see a Monster Trainer who specializes in two elements, but as for one who specializes in even more...I can say that it's never been heard of in the history of our Blue Star Planet."

Lin Fan had a surprised look since he honestly thought that being able to train all kinds of pets was a normal thing, but it was far from being normal in this world.

Pet training on the Blue Star Planet was mainly done by working with the pet to increase their control of their elemental energy or learning new techniques, so there was a need to focus on one element since different elements had different properties. That was why most Monster Trainers on the Blue Star Planet focused on a single type of monster to train. Of course, that wasn't common knowledge since once a Monster Trainer reached a peak, they had no problem giving basic training to all different kinds of monsters, but it wouldn't be specialized training.

But that wasn't the case for Lin Fan since he used a special technique with the technology from the system.

Lin Fan's training didn't involve learning to control energy or teaching pets new techniques, rather it was training that was done by drawing out the potential of a pet.

In a life or death situation, one had to draw out their latent potential to survive or they would die, which was what Lin Fan used to train pets. He constantly put them to the brink of life and death and they drew out their potential whether they wanted to or not.

The or not part came from the technology of the system where it kept reviving the pets being trained, so they were put into the same life or death situation again and again. Of course, they could just accept the death and move on, but dying again and again naturally wasn't a very good feeling. Survival instincts were strong in all living beings and who would choose to die if they had a chance to live?

That was how the latent potential within the pets being trained were drawn out again and again.

Lin Fan had always thought that his method of training was quite normal, but now he was being told that it was a strange method of training…

After thinking about it, Lin Fan suddenly narrowed his eyes, "That means the Monster Trainer Union and you want to take my methods?"

Zhu Ba Jie quickly waved his hands and said, "Of course not, Owner Lin. I actually have someone that I want you to meet if that's alright with you."

Lin Fan revealed a confused look, but he nodded to show his agreement.

Zhu Ba Jie went over to the door and called out before bringing someone back in with him.

This person was someone that Lin Fan had seen when he came into the store, but he had just been hanging around outside, so Lin Fan had thought that he was a passerby or some customer thinking about whether to go in or not.

This person looked much more like an old man compared to the two Legendary Realm Experts. While those two did look like old men, they were quite fit for old men.

This person came walking in with a cane and his head was completely covered in white hair.

Zhu Ba Jie introduced that person, "Owner Lin, this is my friend from the Monster Trainer Union, the vice president Zhang Liang."

Once he was introduced, Zhang Liang immediately came forward and grabbed Lin Fan's hands, "Owner Lin, it really is an honour to meet you. I've been here since early in the morning and after seeing all the different pets, I'm certain that the technique you're using is much more advanced than the techniques we're using. If I'm not mistaken, you should have a technique that draws out the latent potential of beasts which not only allows them to become stronger, it also allows them to develop much easier in the future!"

This old man's enthusiasm really put Lin Fan off as the old man looked at him with sparkling eyes.

Zhu Ba Jie saw this and came forward to pull Zhang Liang back before saying to Lin Fan with a smile, "I'm very sorry about this. Owner Lin, vice president Zhang is someone who's quite easy to get worked up, so usually he comes off a bit too strong. But I'm sure you can see our sincerity when it comes to inviting you to our Water Pearl City."

Lin Fan could tell that this Zhang Liang was indeed just curious about his techniques and didn't intend to steal them. If Lin Fan had to use a word to describe him, it would be scholar.

He had seen many people like this back on earth, they were people who completely devoted themselves to their studies, caring for nothing else.

While he personally didn't understand why they would do so, that didn't mean he couldn't appreciate them.

Many of them had come up with many discoveries that had benefited all of mankind, even though some of them did also create weapons of mass destruction…

Still, someone who could devote themselves completely to their craft was worthy of respect. These people were also people that Lin Fan could get along with since they were also quite simple and straightforward.

Lin Fan just said with a smile, "It's alright, I rather like interacting with people like this instead of people who hide their meanings with their words. It's possible for me to create a branch in your Water Pearl City, but there are a few conditions that I have."

Zhu Ba Jie's eyes lit up but then he asked, "Like?"

"Well…"
