Cultivation Pet Shop

After the general left Lin Fan’s store, he ignored everyone that greeted him and headed to a certain tent.

The guards at this tent didn’t even attempt to stop him as they let him in right away.

Once he was in the tent, he sat down at the empty spot that had been saved for him at the table.

When he sat down, all the other people at the table turned to look at him and waited for him to speak.

All of these people were wearing the same uniform as him, which meant that they all shared the same rank. All of the people at this table were all generals like him.

But seeing that he didn’t say a single thing, one of them couldn’t help asking, “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”

The general with the moustache shook his head and said, “It’s not that something happened, it’s just that…”

Seeing him go quiet again, all of the generals looked at him with curious looks and waited for him to speak.

The general with the moustache finally said, “He’s not what I thought he would be. He might actually be the real deal.”

All of the generals revealed different expressions when they heard this, but not a single one of them spoke as they kept staring at the general with the moustache.

Finally the general who was at the head of the table said, “For now, keep an eye on him and see what he can do. There’s no need to provoke him since he has the Mu Stellar King behind him.” Then after a pause, he added in a cold voice, “But if he does anything to harm our Mu Stellar Kingdom…”

He didn’t finish these words and he didn’t need to.

Hearing this, all of the generals looked at each other before nodding in agreement with the general at the head of the table.

As for who that general was, he was General Li, the new supreme general appointed by the Mu Stellar King. He was a general that had been guarding the border for almost his entire life and was considered a god of war in the Mu Stellar Kingdom.

The reason why he wasn’t the supreme general before this was because he was devoted to guarding the Mu Stellar Kingdom’s borders that he never played in politics.

While his strength was enough for him to ignore all of this, when the former Mu Stellar King called him back to the capital so he could fall under his fold like General Wu had, General Li had refused. Following this, he was demoted as much as possible, but the former Mu Stellar King never court martialed him since he was afraid of his power and influence.

General Li didn’t care about any of that since his only calling in life was protecting the Mu Stellar Kingdom and the people who were important to him.

This was something that the Mu Stellar King recognized, so he promoted him to supreme general without a single second of hesitation.

This General Li only had one thing on his mind and that was protecting the Mu Stellar Kingdom. If Lin Fan ever had any hostile intentions towards the Mu Stellar Kingdom, he would be the first one to strike him down.

Of course, this General Li wasn’t weak…

There were even rumours that he was in the Sun Realm like the ancestors of the royal family…

…

Lin Fan spent the next week training the pets that were brought in.

At first there were only Soul Realm pets that were brought in.

It was clear that they didn’t trust Lin Fan’s abilities even though the contract that he had made was with the Mu Stellar King. So they were just sending in these test subjects first to see what his training would be like.

They were of course shocked to find that Lin Fan would only need a single day for the training and were filled with doubt towards him, but the results spoke for themselves. Lin Fan did the same training as usual, but this usual training was already heaven defying for normal people.

All the pets that received training went up at least a minor realm and there were even a few that reached the peak of their current realm. At the same time, they all learned several advanced skills that would be impossible for them to learn since these pets weren’t high grade pets in the first place.

With all of these facts in front of them, the people from the army had no choice but to acknowledge Lin Fan’s skills.

However, even if they did acknowledge it, that didn’t mean that they believed that Lin Fan would be able to train pets that were in the World Realm.

So for the latter half of the week, they still only sent pets that were in the Soul Realm for training. However, unlike before where the pets were only in the Embryo Soul Realm or the Child Soul Realm, this time they sent pets in the Nascent Soul Realm and the True Soul Realm.

Once again, the same result came after Lin Fan trained these pets and all that questioned him were stunned. They couldn’t think of a single thing that they could question him with again…that is other than their doubt that he could train a World Realm pet.

So at the start of this week, they decided to send a World Realm pet to his store.

As for who the pet belonged to, it was the general with the moustache that came to Lin Fan’s store before.

He was the one that had made contact with Lin Fan before, so it made the most sense for him to bring his pet to the store.

There were of course many that still doubted Lin Fan’s abilities and wanted to keep monitoring him, but General Li thought differently which was why he ordered this moustached general to bring his pet in.

General Li understood just what implications it would hold if Lin Fan’s abilities were true, so he wasn’t willing to give up on this opportunity.

The moustached general had his doubts, but he still followed orders to bring the World Realm Pet for Lin Fan store for training. He was surprised to find that he was given the same timespan as the others, that he would be able to pick up his pet from the store tomorrow.

The general was skeptical as he left, but he still left his pet with Lin Fan.

Lin Fan put the pet into the shadow cultivation room as per usual before heading out of the military camp.

He had also prepared his own informants and it wasn’t right for him to meet them at the store, so he had already decided on a special meeting spot with them. This spot wasn’t that far from the camp itself, but Ying still insisted on following Lin Fan out.

This was something that the Mu Stellar King had already approved of since he knew that Lin Fan had his own plans. So even if Ying was there to protect Lin Fan, she still allowed him to leave the camp.

When he arrived, he found that his informant was already there waiting for him.

The informant waved at him before they headed into the small cabin that had been prepared for the meeting. Ying stopped once they reached the door and stood outside to wait for Lin Fan since it wasn’t appropriate for her to follow Lin Fan in.

This was his private business, so she should respect that.

When they had settled in the cabin and there was a pot of tea between them, Lin Fan took a sip of tea and asked, “What is the situation?”

The informant took out several pieces of paper for Lin Fan before saying anything. All of these were maps of different places that Lin Fan didn’t recognize.𝑂𝓋𝗅𝒩xt.𝗇𝓔t

After spreading these maps out, the informant started pointing at different spots on the map and saying, “These were the last known location of the Bing and Huo Family forces, but no one understands what they are doing there.”

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to look at the maps before asking, “Is there anything important near those places?”

The informant shook his head and said, “There’s not a single important facility there for either the Mu and Ran Stellar Kingdom side or the Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdom side. This place is a neutral space between the Beast Race and the human race, so most people wouldn’t even go there normally.”

Lin Fan knitted his brows as he couldn’t help feeling a bad premonition.

The informants that he had hired were given one simple task, to monitor the forces of the Bing and Huo Families for him. He knew that they had a grudge towards him and they might seize this war as an opportunity to do something to his friends and family on the Galactic Humanity Alliance. So he wanted to keep an eye on them just in case.

However, they weren’t even heading in the direction of the Galactic Humanity Alliance…

Instead, they went to this random place in the middle of nowhere, which didn’t have anything to do with the war…

Could it be that they had some special plan or they had found something special there…

Or could it be…?

There was an almost impossible thought that filled Lin Fan’s mind, but he quickly shook it away because he didn’t believe that these people would do something like this.

After all, to do so would mean betraying the entire human race…
