Scallion Ridge is a vast mountainous and forested area that formed after the expansion of Blue Water Star.
Because of its numerous mountains and rivers, and towering trees that intertwine to create a verdant, cloud-like landscape, people later called this place the Scallion Ridge.
The Scallion Ridge cover an area of 5,000 square kilometers and are a vast treasure trove of mountains and forests.
The trees inside are all mutated temperate tree species, with the shortest reaching a height of 100 meters and the tallest reaching 5,000 meters with a trunk diameter of 1,000 meters, making them truly terrifying giant trees.
This giant tree is also a living Wisdom plant-like creature.
It is the strongest and guardian of Scallion Ridge, and the king of all the beasts in Scallion Ridge!
This forest of giant trees is incredibly rich in resources and teems with exotic beasts.
The Dungeon Space within it is countless.
But this special place is given the name "small".
Because in another part of this land, there exists an endless forest of giant trees stretching for 20,000 kilometers, which is why it is known to the world as the Greater Verdant Ridge!
The Lesser Verdant Ridge Human Race Base is a secondary base under the Chang'an Base, responsible for guarding the entire southern side of Scallion Ridge.
Around it, numerous level 3 and 4 bases are scattered, forming a defensive network and resource gathering center for the entire Scallion Ridge.
Base No. 6 is one of the bases with relatively frequent trade exchanges.
One day, a young man from out of town opened a bookstore here. The owner was a rather cultured young man.
This shop doesn't do much business, but the owner doesn't seem to care.
People didn't pay much attention to him, which allowed the shop to exist quietly for a long time.
The person running this small bookstore is Jiang Ziliu, using a new alias.
He traversed the vast wilderness, using Probability Judgment determine a safe route, and safely arrived at this area, where he settled down and became quiet.
Along the way, he also collected a large number of treasures, and in some places he exchanged useless treasures for the resources he needed.
Next, Jiang Ziliu, who had no shortage of treasures and resources, began to develop stealthily in this No. 6 Level 4 Commercial Base.
This Level 4 Base No. 6 is located close to the rear, and as long as the Level 2 Base at Scallion Ridge in front remains standing, there are absolutely no security issues here.
Jiang Ziliu opened this shop primarily to collect rare books.
He spent a year there peacefully, gradually adapting to the mundane life he experienced under this pseudonym.
Three months after arriving here, all his soul power and Dark Energy had grown to the appropriate level.
His Dark Energy reached the standard of 657.1, and his soul strength value increased to the level of 1000.
Next, he was able to grow and develop steadily again.
Jiang Ziliu began to increase the resources invested in his tamed beasts. Their food always contained some high-level resources, which subtly and continuously improved them.
High-level resources are truly powerful; in the following months, his tamed beasts all experienced tremendous growth.
The enhancement from beast taming triggered a life feedback mechanism, which propelled Jiang Ziliu to new heights:
Jiang Ziliu:
Occupation: Nine-Star Bronze Rank Beastmaster (Life Feedback Self-Suppression State)

Beast Taming Status:
The Azurite Rock Man is healthy and has a 99% affinity with the Beastmaster.
The Mutated Lightning Snake is healthy and has a 99% affinity with the Beastmaster.
The Green-Skinned Shapeshifting Spirit is healthy and has a 99% affinity with the Beastmaster.
In one year, Jiang Ziliu raised all three of his tamed beasts to the Bronze Ninth Star level.
Moreover, he cultivated and evolved all of them to B Grade or above, even the Dwarf Titan Bloodline of the Azurite Rock Man was raised to 12.3%.
Throughout the year, the beasts grew steadily yet rapidly, experiencing significant growth.
Recently, he also reached the edge of breaking through to the Silver Rank through life feedback, but he had to suppress the breakthrough of life level and chose to activate nine Bronze Rank Hidden Soul Star.
However, it's not as easy for Bronze Rank soul to activate all nine at once as it was before.
The further you progress, the more difficult it becomes to unlock the Hidden Soul Star, and the greater the resources required.
Because the further you progress, the faster your soul improves after activating the Hidden Soul Star.
This practice of activating the Hidden Soul Star too quickly without a proper transition period carries less risk in the early stages, but the risk increases significantly when the level of life reaches a certain height.
Jiang Ziliu could only choose to slowly activate the Hidden Soul Star, one by one.
He has only activated four Hidden Soul Star so far. The natural limit of soul power is 4000, but his soul strength has only grown to 3165.6. He still needs some time to grow and adapt before he can activate the next Hidden Soul Star.
Once all nine Hidden Soul Star are activated, he can be elevated to the level of Silver Rank life form through the combined life feedback from three Nine-Star Bronze Rank tamed beasts.
The more beasts a Beastmaster has, the faster the Beastmaster's growth rate will be compared to the growth rate of a single beast.
Jiang Ziliu's soul strength has now reached over 1000, which is enough for him to form a contract with a fourth beast. However, he hasn't found a good target yet, and ultimately decided to leave it to fate.
He planned to determine a suitable category, and then select a suitable mythical beast from that category that he felt a connection with to form a contract.
It depends on future opportunities. Right now, even if he uses Probability Judgment, he can't find a suitable beast cub with the right skills and potential that he can safely obtain in this area.
Moreover, he was able to continue developing his skills stealthily and had no intention of disrupting his current peaceful life.
When he reaches his limit and all his resources are used up, that's when he'll continue his adventures, seeking opportunities and the fourth Beast Tamer.
Throughout the year, he continuously nurtured the three beasts with high-level resources, raising their affinity towards Jiang Ziliu to the maximum of 99%.
But it just can't seem to break through the 100% mark, as if there's an insurmountable barrier preventing it from reaching that level.
Jiang Ziliu guessed that when the beast tamer's favorability towards the beast master breaks through 100%, there will definitely be a qualitative change.
He had been looking forward to this change, but it seemed to be stuck, frozen in place.
Even using Probability Judgment, he still couldn't solve it.
The Probability Judgment found a way, but the solution to this problem was only possible by going to some level 2 or higher bases.
However, Jiang Ziliu is currently quite wary of bases at or above the second level.
Some time ago, when he went to buy information, he inadvertently obtained some information about himself.
In the vicinity of Lingyan Base, a powerful force is searching for his previous identity.
He even bought a bounty poster for his previous online persona.
Jiang Ziliu understood. Either the Lineage of those two children had chosen to repay kindness with enmity, or the other party might be interested in his secrets!
Or it could be retaliation from the opposing Lineage's rival forces for his sabotage!
But either way, it proves he saved the wrong person!
In fact, Jiang Ziliu understood that if he hadn't intervened and those two children had actually died, he would have been burdened with an even bigger scapegoat.
This is the helplessness of the weak when facing powerful forces; whether you help them or not, you are a problem in their eyes.
When they discover the immense potential benefit they can gain from you, the debt of saving their lives is nothing!
Self-interest is the only reality!
The Jiang Lineage!
Jiang Ziliu remembered this power. A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years, but for a man of the underworld, revenge is never too late, even after a hundred or a thousand years.
He wrote this down in his notebook, determined to bring shame upon the entire Lineage someday!
Due to factors including those mentioned above, Jiang Ziliu is currently unable to find a way to raise the beast's favorability to 100%.
But Jiang Ziliu wasn't in a hurry at all.
He has been here calmly for almost a year now, and he will eventually find an opportunity to raise his favorability rating to 100%.
With Probability Judgment, and if the conditions for determining probability are set well, no mystery can remain unsolved!
He wasn't in a hurry at all and continued to calmly improve himself.
Nine months passed in the blink of an eye before he finally completed the activation of the last Hidden Soul Star.
At this point, all the resources he had previously acquired were completely exhausted.
Jiang Ziliu suddenly realized that the terrible infrastructure brought about a terrifying consumption of resources.
This time, he used up all his remaining Soul Crystal!
The cost of activating the nine Bronze Rank Hidden Soul Star this time is more than a thousand times that of the Black Iron level!
His soul strength increased directly from the initial 1,000 points to 10,000!
Previously, it was only from 100 to 1000.
With such a significant increase in his soul strength, it's not surprising that he consumed a lot of resources.
Jiang Ziliu sensed that he seemed to have the potential to become a resource-intensive existence like the Ancient Desolate Sacred Body.
The next step is for him to break through to the Silver Rank.
But this also means that Jiang Ziliu's peaceful life of growth over the past two years has come to an end!
