Cultivation Pet Shop

36 Chapter 36



After the appearance of the old man, there was nothing else special that happened that day.

Once the last customer was gone, Lin Fan closed up the shop before heading over to Brainy.

Brainy and Momonga had been playing games the entire day and they still showed no signs of getting tired, but they did stop when Lin Fan came over.

Brainy could tell that Lin Fan was here for it because they were continuing their nightly business.

Ever since Lin Fan had come back from the planar crack, he hadn't forgotten about the greedy seekers that had ideas towards him.

Brainy only took a single night to learn the human language, so Lin Fan had been using its special ability to take care of these seekers. Namely, he had been using Brainy's Parasite Seeds to track and kill them.

Brainy's Parasite Seed could be injected into a victim's body and then it sprouts along their nervous system, allowing Brainy to gain access to their brain and control their body. Brainy's seeds were well hidden, lying along the nerves of the body and the spine, so they couldn't be easily discerned.

The first thing Lin Fan had Brainy do was inject a Parasite Seed into Xiao Zi at the Seekers Guild, that way he would have access to the information of each seeker that had cast their greedy and unkind gazes onto him.

Once he had all this information, Lin Fan had injected Parasite Seeds into these seekers one by one. He had Brainy gather information on what they had been doing through these seeds before taking care of them one by one.

Of course, if he started a slaughter of these seekers who were all seekers that he had saved from the planar crack, he would have become the prime suspect. So Lin Fan had been careful in his methods of killing these seekers.

It was a good thing that most of these seekers were in the Iron Realm with only a few in the Bronze Realm, which meant that Brainy could easily control them with its peak Silver Realm cultivation.

Another good thing was that most of the seekers that Lin Fan targeted were seekers with bad reputations, so it was quite easy for him to create "accidents".

One example was a seeker who had a connection to a local gang, which made his disposal very easy.

That seeker was brought to the gang's hideout and then Brainy used the Explosive Seed skill to blow up the Parasite Seed that it had injected in that seeker, blowing up that seeker and the gang itself.

In the paper the next morning, Lin Fan had noticed a small report where the authorities suspected that it was a surprise attack from another gang that created this explosion.

Another example was this seeker who was publicly known to have a bad relationship with his wife.

Lin Fan had Brainy inject the wife with a seed and had the wife kill the husband in a very loud manner. Once the deed was done and the wife was arrested, Lin Fan also had Brainy make the wife commit suicide to erase all traces.

Cases like this had been happening over the past few nights, but they had been treated as normal occurrences since these were the scenes Lin Fan created.

Tonight, there would be another death.

Brainy raised its electronic notepad that said, "I already found the next target, but you won't like where they are."

Lin Fan was surprised by this, but he still asked, "Where are they?"

Brainy wrote, "The seed hasn't spread enough for me to control them yet, but they were taken this afternoon. They were taken to a hidden location, but I tracked them with the seed and found that they were taken to the house of the Zhao Family."

Lin Fan didn't recognize this name, "Zhao Family?"

Brainy explained, "They're one of the top rank noble families of the west side, it's said that they currently have five Gold Realm Experts in their family alone."

"So what did they take our target for?" Lin Fan asked.

Brainy continued, "The target was bragging about how he had found a supreme treasure at the bar which was overheard by the Zhao Family. They had investigated the planar crack incident, so they had some idea of the Qilin Bone, but they didn't know who was the one who had it. Hearing what the target said, they figured that they could get some more information from the target."

Lin Fan fell into thought before asking, "Are you able to keep the target silent at all?"

Brainy shook its vine head, "No, unless I forcefully do it by exposing the seed and blowing up the victim, but that will raise suspicion that could lead back to us."

"But if you don't, it'll attract the attention of a noble family to us." Lin Fan argued back.

Brainy carefully wrote down, "Compared to attracting the attention of the Union Government and being condemned as a criminal for killing all those seekers from before, a noble family is something that we can handle with our current capacity. Moreover, there was the Legendary Realm old man from earlier today. With how passionate he was in taking you in as his disciple, I'm certain that he would be willing to help us put pressure on them if something did happen."

Lin Fan considered it and thought that Brainy was right.

"Alright, we'll go with your plan then. Then again, what is your plan?"

Brainy said, "I'll listen and learn their plan, then we can adjust our actions accordingly. I'm certain that they'll "take care" of the one we want to take care of when they're done with their questioning, so that saves us the trouble. But since it's only a single noble family, they should have some qualms about offending our shop as long as we show them a bit of our strength. They won't rashly charge into a shop that they know nothing about and that should stall it out long enough for us to gain more power."

Lin Fan nodded his head in thought before saying, "Brainy, you are right. It really was a good thing that I found someone as smart and useful as you."

On the side, Momonga revealed an aggrieved look. While he didn't have the same parasite ability as Brainy, he did have plenty of skills that allowed him to manipulate souls that would have achieved the same effect and he was just as smart as Brainy, actually he was even smarter than Brainy with his accumulation of knowledge over time.

But what they never expected was that when it rained, it poured.

At a certain banquet.

The mysterious old man that had been at the pet shop earlier was attending as the guest of honour.

"Lord Mu, what happened to you?" Someone asked in a concerned voice.

Angela's beating hadn't seriously injured Mu Bo Hai, but she did make sure to leave a mark so he learned his lesson.

On the right side of Mu Bo Hai's face, there was a large panda eye that looked quite prominent. With how dark it was, one could tell that it must have hurt quite a bit.

After reaching the Legendary Realm, one's body should have become much stronger than normal and should have healed much faster as well, but no matter how Mu Bo Hai used his life energy, the black eye wouldn't disappear.

Whenever he sent his life energy to his eye, there was something that fought back and scattered it. However, he could tell that it was dissipating slowly and in three days, it would be completely gone.

Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help trembling in fear.

Just what was that shop? Even that little girl in her teens was that powerful?

Mu Bo Hai said, "It's nothing, it was just an accident during training."

The surrounding people had doubtful looks on their faces, but they didn't press this matter.

This was a banquet that gathered the most powerful forces in Wind Snow City in a single room and it was all being held for Mu Bo Hai, so most of the guests were gathered around him with a few talking amongst themselves on the side. To be qualified to come to this banquet, one had to be at least the direct descendant of a noble family.

Mu Bo Hai had been thinking about how to leave an impression on Lin Fan and his master and after thinking for an entire afternoon, he had come up with an idea that he considered brilliant.

Mu Bo Hai changed the topic, "Have you guys ever heard of this pet shop before?"
