"However, I've gotten somewhat acquainted with the steward of the Zhou Family lately," Ji Yue chuckled, "If we pull some strings, we can still get our hands on Body Tempering Liquid and Bone Tempering Liquid. So, if you wish to pursue martial arts, Ah Heng, there's no problem."
He patted his chest, displaying a confident demeanor.
Upon hearing this, Lin Su felt a slight pang of bitterness in his heart.
Though everything might be an illusion, the affection his parents showed him was real.
The Zhou Family is the Beast Tamer family that Ji Yue helps to care for their pet beasts.
Lin Su had met the Zhou Family's steward once, a person sharp-tongued and fawning.
Imagining how many smiles Ji Yue must have forced himself to make while trying to become acquainted with that person to get favors.
"Father, it's not necessary." Lin Su spoke softly.
He hesitated for a moment, then bent down to pick up a stone from the ground, easily crumbling it into dust before Ji Yue's eyes.
"I had a fortunate encounter while traveling and acquired Body Tempering Liquid and Bone Tempering Liquid. I'm already in the Body Refining Realm now."
He had already secretly completed the phases of Body Tempering and Bone Tempering using the Lin Family recipe.
The jade slip from Yan Susen mentioned that due to possessing memories of their past lives, Reincarnators might do things others find surprising.
Such acts could lead to suspicion and troubles.
Thus, Lin Su chose to secretly undergo Body Refinement and had not revealed it to his family in this life at all.
Yet, seeing Ji Yue, Lin Su couldn't help but think of Lin Zhen Nan, unwilling to see Ji Yue kowtowing to others for his sake, choosing to reveal a small glimpse of the preparations he has made over the years.
"This..."
Ji Yue and Song Ru were astonished as they watched Lin Su effortlessly crumble the stone.
But soon, Ji Yue's shock turned to delight, "That's wonderful, truly wonderful! In that case, I'll find a martial arts cultivation technique for you, and you could easily embark on the martial path!"
"Father, I'm planning to become a Beast Tamer," Lin Su sighed resignedly and spoke softly.
"A Beast Tamer?" Ji Yue blinked, then nodded, "That works too! You've always liked accompanying me to the Zhou Family to tend to pet beasts since you were a child, so it makes sense you're interested in them. Being a Beast Tamer will do!"
Unlike Lin Su's father from before, Ji Yue was just an ordinary man, and thus had different expectations for his child.
Whether it was being a Beast Tamer or pursuing martial arts, they both seemed promising to him.
Beside him, Song Ru nodded slightly, holding Lin Su's hand, "Ah Heng, we have some spare money at home. Since you've chosen to become a Beast Tamer, your first pet beast is crucial. I'll give you this money after dinner."
"Mother, it's not needed." Lin Su shook his head, "I already have some ideas for my first pet beast, so I won't need the family's money."
Of course, he couldn't choose other pet beasts but had to wait for his destined five pet beasts to appear one by one.
Otherwise, what would be the purpose of being reincarnated for this life?
According to Yan Susen's experience, the encounter between Beast Tamers in reincarnation and their pet beasts is a matter of fate.
Just like Luck Power, it carries a touch of mystique.
Lin Su often accompanied Ji Yue to the Pet Beast Garden cared for by the Zhou Family, feigning interest with the true motive of seeing if he could encounter the reincarnation of his pet beast.
However, unfortunately, in the past eighteen years, he had never met the reincarnation of his pet beast.
If he did ever encounter it, the bond between him and his pet beast would ensure they wouldn't miss each other.
After a meal, Lin Su returned to his wooden cabin.
He tightly shut the door and closed the windows, then carefully took out a golden bottle from the drawer of a cabinet.
This was a bottle of perfect quality advanced energy liquid, suitable for commander and monarchy level pet beasts.
Secretly mixing energy liquid, hiding his identity to sell it, then using the proceeds to acquire more supernatural resources to concoct more energy liquid.
This had been his covert activity all along.
What was once merely an auxiliary task of energy liquid concocting had surprisingly become a pathway to wealth before acquiring sufficient power.
He tucked it in his bosom, donned a small backpack, and left the Ji Family, swiftly arriving at a secluded area and opened the backpack.
Inside was a black robe and a mask sufficient to veil his face.
Upon changing attire, Lin Su's figure seemed to have gained weight.
He then walked in a peculiar manner toward a certain place in the city.
It was a chamber of commerce.
The chamber's consul had seen Lin Su more than once, quickly recognized him and led him to an upstairs secret room, poured him a pot of tea, and then departed.
A few minutes later, the chamber's steward appeared before Lin Su.
"Masked brother, it's good to see you again. What good merchandise did you bring today?" The steward asked with a friendly smile, looking at Lin Su.
Lin Su took out the golden bottle from his bosom and placed it on the table.
The steward's eyes quickly flashed with gleam, he opened the bottle and inspected the liquid, showing a tinge of astonishment.
"Masked brother never fails to surprise me," his face now bore a hint of greed, he looked at Lin Su again, "Masked brother, can you introduce me to your backer, the one who concocts those liquids?"
"This is merely the master's game creation, and I'm just the servant helping to resell it," Lin Su's specially altered hoarse voice relayed the message, "If you insist on meeting, there will be no next collaboration."
"This..." The steward hesitated for a moment, ultimately shaking his head, "Alright, alright, if there's good merchandise in the future, we must continue collaborating."
