CHAPTER 745 NOT IN THE SAME LEAGUE
Rocky had been staying in the Magical Beast House for three days. During daytime, he had done some
chores; and at night, he had collected samples of the spirit-manipulated beasts living in the beast farm.
He had done some research on them, analyzed the data, and finally speculated the genome
sequences of different spirit-manipulated beasts. He had now extracted more than seventy types of This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
beasts' genomes. Most of them belonged to the spirit-manipulated beasts from the Gehenna Border. Of
course, there were still more to discover. The seventy kinds were only the tip of the iceberg in the
whole Wild Spirit Land.
So, all Rocky needed to do now was to collect the remaining genomes of spirit-manipulated beasts,
and the Magical Beast House was the perfect place for that. This high-end beast farm was like a
treasure house of rare and exotic beasts he had never seen before.
The beasts provided by the Magical Beast House saved Rocky tons of sweat and time. According to
his estimations, the Magical Beast House could provide him with at least fifty different genomes.
However, it would take a long time to completely study and analyze all of the genomes at the same
time.
During these three days, Rocky had already found out that the city he was in was called Barren City
because it was located right at the edge of a desert. It was a big city under the Timber Deity Empire
which sat on the border between the Timber Deity Empire and the Magic Phoenix Empire. Therefore, it
served as the prosperous trading hub between the two countries.
The Magical Beast House was very famous all across the Timber Deity Empire and spawned 10
branches across the empire. Although it didn't have as much branches like the Super Beast Farm in
the Holy Dragon Empire, it still provided excellent quality beasts on sale. It even sold beasts from a
two-star rating all the way to a four-star rating which were very rare for ordinary spirit manipulators.
The reason why the Magical Beast House could sell a diverse set of beasts was because the Barren
City itself was home to many kinds of spirit-manipulated beasts. Except for the southern part of the city,
which bordered the inland area of the Timber Deity Empire, the place was crawling with spirit-
manipulated beasts, including the dangerous desert where Rocky had been to.
It seemed that the area where Barren City was located was a paradise for spirit-manipulated beasts.
You could even tell it just by judging from the different types of spirit-manipulated beasts found in the
beast farm of the Magical Beast House.
There was no argument that there were as many spirit-manipulated beasts in Barren City as on the
Gehenna Border, but the former was much safer. Because of a pact made by the Timber Deity Empire
and the Magic Phoenix Empire, there were no wars between the two countries for years. Thus, on the
border of the two countries, Barren City was very peaceful.
As a result of the thriving spirit-manipulated beast population in Barren City, the most popular job here
was hunting. Hunters specialized in hunting wild spirit-manipulated beasts, collecting rare objects and
materials, as well as catching young beasts. Of course, ordinary people wouldn't be able to hunt these
dangerous beasts. Those who were able to were spirit manipulators from the Timber Deity Empire and
other countries. They came here to earn money.
Because of the rich spirit-manipulated beast population in Barren City, the Magical Beast House had a
unique geographical advantage. Although it was not the only beast farm in the city, it was the only one
that had high-end stables. Therefore, spirit manipulators from all over the world, who came to the city
often chose to go to the Magical Beast House to buy the high-end spirit-manipulated beasts they
needed.
However, what really set apart the Magical Beast House from their competitors was not their high-end
stables. It was because they provided unique after sales service that only they offered. The buyers
could send their spirit-manipulated beasts to the Magical Beast House for treatment, and the Magical
Beast House made sure they would heal these beasts. Of course, the medical fees were not cheap, but
it was better than buying another one because they couldn't find a doctor to heal their spirit-
manipulated beast.
The Magical Beast House could offer such expensive services because it had a powerful owner. It was
backed by the Xiao Clan, a known spirit manipulator family from the Timber Deity Empire.
Since the Xiao Clan contained the ancestral Beast Curing Skills, each of their generation's chiefs was
famous beast curer. This unique skill was the reason why the Xiao Clan was as famous as other big
clans in the Timber Deity Empire, even though they were only considered as a third-class spirit
manipulator family.
Just like what Sheridan told Rocky when he was teaching him the Beast Curing Skill, the beast curer
profession was the rarest of all jobs related to spirit-manipulated beasts. Not everyone had the guts or
skills to do it. After all, treating beasts was very different from treating people. Not only was their
anatomy very strange, but their bodies also evolved every time they rose to a new level. Minor ailments
were nothing to these extraordinary beasts, but grave injuries required the attention of professional
beast curers, and no ordinary person could heal it from its injuries.
Even still, there were many beast curers in the Wild Spirit Land, although most of them could only cure
minor diseases at most. Fortunately, a small portion of them had the ability to fully heal beasts, and the
Xiao Clan was one of them.
Of course, their medical skills were still oceans away from that of Rocky's master, Sheridan who was
the best and most powerful beast curer and manipulator in all of the Wild Spirit Land.
Learning under the guidance of Sheridan and integrating it with modern technology allowed Rocky to
surpass his teacher in terms of medical skills. In other words, working as a mere servant in the Magical
Beast House of the Xiao Clan was nothing but a waste of time for Rocky.
If only the chief of the Xiao Clan knew that he was Sheridan's disciple, he would be shocked.
The Xiao Clan's current chief was Raef Xiao. He was a famous beast curer in the Timber Deity Empire,
and his medical skill was comparable to that of the most powerful beast curers in the top three powerful
clans in the Timber Deity Empire. Unfortunately, the strength of the clan only depended on his strength.
If there were no powerful spirit manipulator in the clan, it was doomed to fall.
Although the Xiao Clan was known among the spirit manipulator families, they never had developed
any powerful spirit manipulators. Their most powerful member had only reached the fifth grade of the
Heavenly Stage. Currently, there were only three masters of the Heavenly Stage in the clan. The
strongest of which was an elder who was only at the third grade of the Heavenly Stage, while the clan
leader was just at the first grade of the Heavenly Stage. In short, the Xiao Clan was miles away from
the power of second-class clans in the country, let alone those big ones.
