Chapter 198: Domain Value Over 100 Million

When Ye Feng returned to the inn, the two little creatures still hadn’t taken off their glasses, clearly engrossed in what they were watching. But the moment he opened the door, the two beasts sensed his presence yet ignored him.
Ye Feng shook his head with a wry smile, not taking their reaction too seriously. He knew they were like children who had just gotten new toys, focusing most of their attention on them and having little time to pay him attention. Once the novelty wore off, their attitude would likely change.
Ye Feng entered his bedroom, closed the door, then activated his virtual domain and stepped inside.
He took out the two rings he had stolen this time from the storage cabinet and used his mental power to explore them, trying to figure out what was inside.
Wei Jie’s ring contained nearly a dozen types of alchemy materials, in considerable quantities.
Amidst those alchemy materials, Ye Feng suddenly spotted the ten-thousand-year-old meteorite iron that had been taken by the Alchemy Sect. He immediately realized that everything those guys from the Alchemy Sect had said before was a lie. “They clearly had this item in their hands yet claimed they had sent it back to headquarters for refining. What a despicable act!”
Besides the alchemy materials, there were also several high-grade spiritual weapons.
Ye Feng glanced over them briefly before his gaze fell on a box in the corner. He tried to open it but found that it seemed to have some kind of seal. Despite trying hard for a long time, he achieved nothing.
“The person who placed this seal must possess immortal strength. Even with my mid-grade immortal weapon and a full-powered strike—equivalent to the attack of an early Great Vehicle stage—there wasn’t even a trace left on this broken box,” Ye Feng said in astonishment. “It’s likely this box is what Master wanted to steal before! Only someone as powerful as a scattered immortal at the fourth tribulation or above could lay such a terrifying seal. And Wei Jie’s father is a scattered immortal at the fifth tribulation; presumably, he placed this seal.”
“But why would he seal something he gave to his own son?” Ye Feng was puzzled.
Ye Feng shook his head and converted all the items except that box into second-tier domain value. Although there were many items, their actual value wasn’t very high. Including those two top-grade spiritual weapon pieces, the total was worth roughly 27 million second-tier domain value.

The contents of Master’s storage ring seemed rather meager. Although his status was even higher than Wei Jie’s, the people of the Beast Taming Sect didn’t seem to care much about their own cultivation levels; what mattered more to them was the cultivation level of the magical beasts they could control. Inside Master’s ring, aside from some spirit crystals, most of it consisted of various pills that Ye Feng couldn’t name, and these pills were not meant for humans but for feeding magical beasts. After searching the ring, Ye Feng’s gaze fell on a thick, golden-colored book with bold characters on its cover: “Beast Taming Treasury.” “Could this be the cultivation technique of the Beast Taming Sect?” Ye Feng felt a hint of excitement. He picked up the book and flipped to the first page. “Giant Tooth Demon Wolf, a magical beast at the late Spirit Immortal stage. Unlike ordinary demon wolves, it has wings on its back, and its upper fangs can stretch and shrink freely, changing in thickness and hardness—comparable to mid-tier immortal artifacts…” Ye Feng couldn’t help but reach out to the vivid image next to the description. The black Giant Tooth Demon Wolf in the image looked utterly real, intimidating. The moment his finger touched it, a shrill howl reached his ears, “Ugh…” Startled, Ye Feng quickly pulled back his hand and carefully flipped to the second page. To his confusion, the second page was blank. He flipped through the rest of the pages, only to find them all blank as well. “What’s going on? Why is only the first page filled?” Ye Feng was puzzled. After thinking for a while, he decided to show the book to Ed to see if he knew anything about it. After taking the book out of the ring, Ed seemed to sense something and looked in Ye Feng’s direction. “Ed, I have something here. Can you help me figure out what it is?” Ye Feng said, handing him the book. “It’s a good thing, but using it will bring you endless troubles!” Ed concluded after just one glance. “What exactly is it? Why are the pages behind blank with no content?” Ye Feng asked in confusion. “The ‘Beast Taming Treasury’ was created by some highly skilled individuals for controlling magical beasts. With this book, one can forcefully establish a master-slave contract with a magical beast. Moreover, by strengthening the contract through this book, one can even force a contract with a magical beast that is a whole cultivation level stronger than oneself.”

“Every page shows tamed magical beasts. There are a hundred pages here, which means a hundred magical beasts can be tamed. If only one page has content, it means only one magical beast has been tamed!”
“Of course, there are certain side effects after using this thing to tame magical beasts. Since the tamed beasts don’t sign contracts voluntarily, a strong negative energy remains on the tamer. Only other magical beasts can sense this negative energy; humans can’t. So, the more you tame, the greater the chance of being hunted and retaliated against by powerful magical beast groups. I think it’s better for you to discard this item!” Ed gave his opinion.
“What a pity for such a good thing…” Ye Feng sighed.
“Don’t worry. Although this is a mid-tier magic artifact, it’s a special type of mid-tier magic artifact. It’s worth at least 200,000 third-tier domain points. The system will automatically convert it to second-tier domain points, and you’ll receive a reward for reaching 100 million in second-tier domain points,” Ed said with a smile. “What you get might not be worse than this ‘Beast Taming Mirror’! And it can also help you improve your strength further!”
“What about that magical beast inside? How can I break the contract and set it free?” Ye Feng frowned. He could roughly guess that if he retrieved the mirror, the magical beast would also disappear.
“The contract signed through the ‘Beast Taming Mirror’ cannot be broken. Unless it dies, it will remain sealed in this book forever. Whoever gets the book can control it,” Ed said helplessly, shaking his head.
“Is there any other way to save that magical beast?” Ye Feng pressed on.
“There is a way, but the cost is high!” After hesitating for a moment, Ed reluctantly gave his answer. “Doing this will consume a large amount of domain points. It’s very likely that most of the domain points from the entire ‘Beast Taming Mirror’ will be used up.”
“If it’s just a matter of consuming domain points, it’s not a big problem,” Ye Feng said, not too concerned. “What’s the method?”
“Convert the contract—transfer the contract between that magical beast and the ‘Beast Taming Mirror’ to the Void Realm. Since the Void Realm is much more powerful than the ‘Beast Taming Mirror’, such a conversion can be forced through. But this conversion will definitely consume a significant amount of domain points,” Ed clearly didn’t think it was a good idea.
“Then wouldn’t that magical beast still be bound by the contract? Can I break its contract with the Void Realm?” Ye Feng frowned.

“Any contract signed with the Void Realm is irrevocable, unless one day you can fully control it,” said Ed, a flash of anger in his eyes, though it vanished quickly. “This is the only method I can think of to keep it alive.”
“Of course, there’s also an advantage: you can summon it to fight for you, but it requires domain energy. Moreover, such summoning is subject to certain restrictions and rules set by the Void Realm. Still, a spiritual immortal-level magical beast should be a great help to you.”
“What exactly is the spiritual immortal level?” Ye Feng still didn’t understand the power hierarchy in the Heavenly Realm. When he first saw this description in the Beast Taming Manual, he was completely confused.
“The Heavenly Realm has three continents, divided into three smaller realms—the Immortal Realm, the Demon Realm, and the Fiend Realm.”
“And their cultivation levels are mainly divided into seven tiers. Taking the Immortal Realm as an example: Immortal, Spiritual Immortal, True Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, Golden Immortal, Mysterious Immortal, and Ultimate Immortal, in ascending order. The fourth to sixth tier of scattered immortals correspond to the first cultivation level in the Heavenly Realm—Immortal strength. The Spiritual Immortal is the second cultivation level in the Immortal Realm, with strength comparable to those in the seventh to ninth tier of scattered immortals. In the later stages of the Spiritual Immortal level, strength is slightly greater than that of the eighth-tier scattered immortals but less than that of the ninth-tier ones.”
“Alright, tell me how to transfer the contract,” Ye Feng said after listening to Ed’s explanation.
“It’s simple. Take the Beast Taming Manual and say to the Void Realm, ‘You want to transfer the contract!’”
Ye Feng took the manual from Ed. “Transfer the contract!”
“Transferring the contract requires 80,000,000 points of domain energy!”
“Confirm transfer!”
“Transfer successful. 80,000,000 points of second-tier domain energy have been deducted.”
After the transfer was complete, Ye Feng wiped his forehead. “It takes 80 million points of second-tier domain energy? I almost didn’t have enough. Luckily, I already converted everything in Wei Jie’s ring. Adding the 50 million before that and the over 9 million from killing Master Ma, I have a total of over 86 million points of domain energy. Now I only have over 6 million left.”
“You can retrieve this book now!” Ed reminded him. “You’ll soon get a large amount of domain energy, along with a special reward that’s worth looking forward to!”
“Retrieving the Beast Taming Manual yields 280,000 points of third-tier domain energy.”
“Insufficient domain master privileges. The 280,000 points of third-tier domain energy are automatically converted to 280,000,000 points of second-tier domain energy.”
“Over 100 million points of second-tier domain energy—special reward obtained…”
