Cultivation Pet Shop

The night passed and the day came again.

As per usual, Lin Fan opened the store and the morning rush came.

Most people just took a look at their pets and thanked Lin Fan before leaving. There were some that also stayed to try and get another spot, but those that were smart brought their pets home first to consolidate their realms first.

It wasn't a good thing to increase cultivation too fast sometimes because it meant that one wouldn't be used to their own power.

Of course, Lin Fan's store reduced that possibility since most of the training Lin Fan did was actual combat training. If they didn't learn how to use their new powers well, they would die and of course no one wanted to die for no reason.

Still, there was the fluctuation of life energy, so it was best to get acclimated with this increase in life energy as well.

After the morning rush, things differed from the norm as there was an old man who stayed after everyone else had left.

This old man had the pet that he had put in Lin Fan's shop for training out and he was going all around the pet, as if he wanted to see every detail of it.

As he was going around the pet, he kept muttering to himself, "Interesting, interesting, interesting…"

With the way he was looking at the pet, people even started feeling uncomfortable for the pet…

It was just the look in his eyes…

Lin Fan even considered asking him to leave, but he could tell that this old man wasn't an ordinary old man based on the aura he released, so he didn't do anything in the end other than watch him.

Finally after circling around his pet several times, the old man finally stopped and petted it on the head before coming up to the counter.

The old man walked right up to the counter and looked over Lin Fan before asking, "Hello young man, can you please call out the owner?"

Lin Fan looked up from the novel that he had been reading before saying, "I am the owner. Can I help you?"

The old man revealed a surprised look before asking, "You're saying that you're the owner?"

Lin Fan just gave a nod without saying anything else as if he was expecting something.

However, to his surprise, the old man immediately revealed a happy smile and said, "Great, you're even more than I had expected!"

Lin Fan was taken aback when he heard this, but he still waited for the old man to explain himself.

When the old man calmed down, he turned back to Lin Fan and said, "Young man, you should come to our Tamers Guild. With your talent, you would surely be recognized as at least a Master Trainer, maybe even a Grandmaster Trainer!"

Lin Fan was surprised, but he wasn't surprised by what this old man had said. Rather he was surprised by the fact that this old man was actually from the Tamers Guild.

The Tamers Guild, that was another one of the twelve great factions and it was the faction that backed the Monster Trainer Union on the Blue Star Planet.

As their name implied, they were an organization that specialized in training pets just like how the Alchemy King Hall specialized in alchemy. This was what gave them the ability to be known as one of the neutral factions among the twelve great factions.

After all, everyone needed people who could train their pets just like they needed people who could provide them with pills.

There were only these two main methods of increasing one's strength in this universe, so there was nothing else they could do.

Almost all the factions had dealings with the Tamers Guild, so they couldn't do anything to them, which allowed the Tamers Guild to remain neutral. The other reason was that the Tamers Guild was aware of their own position and knew that siding with anyone would make them suffer, so they weren't dumb enough to ruin their own long term benefits to gain some short term benefits.

Before Lin Fan could say a thing, Qiao Yi Fei came over and slapped the table before saying, "Uncle Huang, you can't just steal people from our Hunters Organization like this!"

Both the old man and Lin Fan were surprised the moment Qiao Yi Fei suddenly came over to shout at them.

Qiao Yi Fei had been here this morning because she had been picking up the pet that she had left for training, but she had also left, so they were both surprised since they had seen her leave.

What they didn't know was that Qiao Yi Fei had noticed this old man she called uncle Huang, so she had taken the chance to come back into the store unnoticed when everyone else had left. She had been standing in a corner watching the old man the entire time, but she couldn't help standing out at this time since the old man had crossed a line.

After all, what he was doing now was blatantly stealing someone from her Hunters Organization.

The old man who was called uncle Huang revealed a smile after recovering from his daze and said, "Xiao Yi Fei, it's not like he can't take the Monster Trainer Exam for our Tamers Guild even if he is a Hunter. Not to mention that with his talent, the Tamers Guild is where he belongs. How can you hold him back like this?"

Qiao Yi Fei didn't have anything to refute this old man since she knew that he was right. After all, she had been using his shop since he had opened it and she had been shocked every time by how much her pet had grown.

Her pet had already reached the Low Child Soul Realm and was close to breaking through to the Mid Child Soul Realm.

The only reason it didn't yet was because Lin Fan had made sure that it couldn't since she would lose control once it did. If there was too much of a disparity in cultivation realms, she wouldn't be able to control it since it would be much stronger than her.

The contract that she had signed with her pet was a one sided contract, so it was a contract that was established on the basis of her being able to dominate her pet.

But beyond that, the battle power of her pet was far beyond that of what a normal pet at this level of cultivation should have. Her pet was already capable of fighting those in the Mid Child Soul Realm and could even resist those in the High Child Soul Realm. This wasn't just a normal pet anymore, this was at the level of a mutated beast.

If Lin Fan was able to achieve this with just a few days of training, what could he achieve with a dedicated training plan?

Just with this, she knew that he was a genius Monster Trainer, one that the Tamers Guild would definitely be interested in.

The old man saw that Qiao Yi Fei didn't say anything in response, so he turned back to Lin Fan and said, "Owner Lin, my name is Huang Gan and I invite you to our Tamers Guild to take the Monster Trainer Exam. With your talent, I'm sure that you will pass it with flying colours."

Lin Fan looked at the old man before looking at Qiao Yi Fei. After this, he turned back to the old man and asked, "If I pass, what will be the restrictions on getting my certification?"

The old man said with a smile, "There are no restrictions at all. Rather, you'll be gaining access to the mass amounts of information that we have in our library. I'm sure that this will be helpful in your own studies as a Monster Trainer."

Lin Fan revealed a smile that had a bit of contempt as he said, "You and I both know that's not true."

The old man's smile didn't disappear as he said, "There is only a fee that you need to pay for your membership to the Tamers Guild and the guild will take a commission for any jobs that they refer to you."

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes before turning to Qiao Yi Fei with a questioning look.

Qiao Yi Fei didn't say a thing, but she gave a nod.

The reason why she didn't refute the old man was because he had been right, but the other reason was because she had felt guilty towards Lin Fan for pulling him into the Hunters Organization.

She was the one who had brought him in in the first place and then she felt guilty since it had caused him to be in the situation he was currently in where he had to face three different factions of the twelve great factions.

She was certain that Lin Fan would pass this exam, so if he was able to get the protection of the Tamers Guild as well, it would be good for him.

As for why she was certain that the Tamers Guild would protect him, she could see from her uncle Huang's eyes that he clearly appreciated Lin Fan's talent or he wouldn't have gone all out to bring Lin Fan back to the Tamers Guild.

But for Lin Fan, he couldn't help feeling that this invitation was too sudden and that something was off.

However, he also had to admit that the benefits the Tamers Guild offered did move him, so he didn't want to give this up.

After a few seconds of debating this, Lin Fan gave a nod and said, "I'll go, but only if she comes along with us.." As he said this, he raised his hand to point at Qiao Yi Fei.
