Craftsman Masters of the Beast Taming World

In the Beast Taming World, there were not only Pet Beasts, but also all manner of wondrous props.

Not only could they enhance a Pet Beast's strength and provide various effects, some were even [Evolution Props] required for Pet Beast evolution.

Thus, Craftsman Masters capable of creating wondrous props held a status even higher than top researchers, surpassed only by Beast Taming Doctors.

If I wanted to study the Spirit Props rewarded by the system and replicate them... I'd have to get a Craftsman Master's help.

Of course, it was still a little too early to think about such things.

Whether it was the Berry Blender or the Move Tutor, neither was something Jiang Xing could handle at present.

He could consider researching and replicating them once his status improved or he obtained some simpler props.

At that moment, he added Master Jian as a friend and stated his purpose.

Master Jian was equally straightforward and directly sent him a list containing every prop that could be made from Qilin Fur.

These props were not merely Pet Beast props. Most of them could also affect Beast Tamers.

[Calming Pendant: When worn, it calms the wearer's mind and makes emotional fluctuations less likely.]

[Affinity Bracelet: When worn, it becomes easier to gain the favor of other living creatures.]

[Gale Ankle Band: When worn, it receives a boost from Wind Element energy, increasing speed.]

[Spirit Guard Mask: ...]

The prop list was remarkably extensive, with the amount of required materials marked for each item.

Clearly, this was not the first time Master Jian had received an order like this...

Thinking about the required materials, Jiang Xing found it hard to keep a straight face.

Just how much had the Lucky Cloud Qilin stolen and eaten in the past? How many clumps of fur had it left behind?

"Ah-li?"

Perhaps sensing his gaze, the Lucky Cloud Qilin, which was sunbathing in the distance, turned its head and blinked.

Ever since it had given up invisibility two days ago, it had completely embraced idleness. Every day, it did nothing but eat and sleep. Those who knew it recognized it as a Pseudo-Legendary Qilin; those who did not would probably think it was a pink-and-blue pig.

But that was what pets were like. All they needed to do was act cute and coax people.

A poop-scooper, on the other hand, had far more to worry about.

Jiang Xing walked over and gave the qilin a fierce rub. After satisfying his urge, he sent Master Jian a message.

"Master, I want to use Qilin Fur to make a set of clothes. Is that possible?"

This was a choice Jiang Xing had considered carefully.

Over the past two days, during his sparring matches with Senior Sister Su, he had deeply experienced the importance of protection—

The snow-white coat Su Muli often wore was not for looking cool. It was an incredibly powerful prop!

It was a coat she had commissioned a Craftsman Master to make, using Mythical Pet Beast materials obtained from a Secret Realm encounter as its core, along with some precious materials.

It possessed extremely high resistance against attacks of all attributes and could greatly improve its wearer's physique.

During one sparring session, the Rainbow Dragon Cub had seized an opportunity and fired a Refraction attack at Su Muli.

She merely flicked her coat, instantly dispersing the attack without suffering the slightest injury, then casually kicked away the charging Rainbow Dragon Cub.

Jiang Xing had been stunned when he saw that.

So you were the real Super Newbie?

Afterward, Jiang Xing heard Senior Sister Su's explanation and understood why—

Monarch, Overlord, and even Quasi-Divine Rank Pet Beasts possessed truly terrifying power capable of overturning the world.

If Beast Tamers were nothing more than ordinary people, then merely participating in such battles would be enough for the slightest aftershock to reduce them to dust.

Therefore, using certain methods to enhance their own strength and avoid being instantly beheaded by enemies was perfectly normal.

After all, humans in the Beast Taming Era were themselves a type of Transcendental creature. They no longer counted as "humans" in the traditional sense, merely weaker than Pet Beasts.

Now, Jiang Xing wanted to follow Senior Sister Su's example and weave a set of clothing from Qilin Fur.

Master Jian: "Yes, but some additional materials will be needed."

Jiang Xing: "Can't it all be made from Qilin Fur?"

Master Jian: "...Making a set of clothing imbued with power consumes a great deal of material. How much Qilin Fur do you have on hand?"

Jiang Xing: "About as much as a small sedan."

Master Jian: "?"

Inside the Craftsman House, the silver-haired old woman rubbed her eyes. After confirming it was not an illusion, she nearly failed to catch her breath.

"How can there be so much?! How did you do it?! Did you hunt a Lucky Cloud Qilin?! Do you know what you've done? It's only a cub! It has parents—two true Mythical Rank Pet Beasts!! Are you insane?!!"

Within the circles of top Beast Tamers, the Lucky Cloud Qilin's existence was no secret.

Especially among Legendary Beast Tamers, all of them knew of its existence, yet none had the slightest intention of attacking or capturing it.

It was not because of its Affinity Talent or its Quasi-Divine Rank strength.

It was because of the two "gods" behind it.

Yes, even in the present world, Mythical Rank Pet Beasts remained godlike beings. No Beast Tamer had ever reached that level.

Many years ago, several bold Beast Tamers had tried to subdue Mythical Rank Pet Beasts.

Then... there was no then.

At present, every human nation still adopted an attitude of drawing close to and befriending Mythical Rank Pet Beasts.

For example, the Xia Kingdom maintained good relations with multiple Divine Beasts, including the Azure Dragon, Qilin, and Phoenix, receiving their Shelter.

Master Jian now suspected that Jiang Xing had slaughtered a mythical cub... Otherwise, there was no explanation for where so many materials had come from.

Seeing that the master had misunderstood, Jiang Xing hurriedly explained.

"Please rest assured, the Lucky Cloud Qilin gifted this to me. I am Dr. Xu's student, and my teacher knows about the situation, which is why he asked me to come to you."

Dr. Xu's name was still extremely useful.

Master Jian remained silent for quite some time before finally calming down and sending another message.

"Making a set of clothes entirely from Qilin Fur is something I have never attempted before."

"However, you can send the materials over first. I will do my best to complete it for you."

"Thank you, Master. I'll ask my senior sister to deliver the materials as soon as possible."

Jiang Xing was in Yuzhong City, while Master Jian was in Modu City. They were far apart.

The materials were too precious, and courier delivery was not safe enough. Jiang Xing could not get away himself either, so he planned to ask Su Muli to make the trip and deliver them for him.

Her flying Pet Beast was even faster than an airplane.

"Remember to send me the appearance you want for the clothing in advance."

"All right."

There was plenty of Qilin Fur. Even with considerable production loss, it was more than enough to make one set of clothing.

Jiang Xing also ordered some additional props as gifts for the Rainbow Dragon Cub and the Lucky Cloud Qilin.

Finally, he asked how the craftsmanship fee would be calculated.

Although Dr. Xu had said to put it on his tab, Jiang Xing could not possibly actually do that.

Yet after he asked, a long while passed before the other side finally replied.

"You don't need to pay. Heh, Xu Hai's student... I'll settle the bill with him."

"..."

Why did that sound so strange?

Jiang Xing recalled that Master Jian was an old woman, seemingly around the same age as Dr. Xu.

Dr. Xu was also a famously single old man who had never married, dedicating his entire life to Pet Beast research.

Combined with their attitudes...

Jiang Xing quickly shook his head, tossing the plot of some old-fashioned romance novel out of his mind.

Gossip was not a good habit. Matters of the previous generation should be left to the previous generation.

"Understood."
