I'm raising mosquitoes using science as an ordinary person.

Chapter 1: Anniversary of Scooping Up Pets at Spirit Beast Mountain! [New Book, Please Add to Favori

"Shocking! Chinese scientists have successfully deciphered the genetic code to develop cold-resistant mosquitoes! This successfully fills the gap of mosquitoes being absent in winter outside the tropics!"

......

"Senior Brother Meng... is it really impossible to cultivate without spiritual roots?"

......

"Why... does time have no effect on you?!"

"Because...time has always been a false proposition."

......

......

......

"Outer disciple, Mengde, please choose your spirit beast."

In the ancient mountains shrouded in mist in the southern border of Yue Kingdom, in the Spirit Beast Garden on a certain peak of the Spirit Beast Mountain, the voice of the Foundation Establishment Realm senior uncle sitting on a lazy black panther brought the slightly absent-minded young man in black robes back to his senses.

"You've been doing menial tasks in the outer sect for almost ten years, and now you've finally made it. You've cultivated the Spirit Gathering Technique to the fourth level, and you have the opportunity to choose a spirit beast." Chen Tai, riding the black panther, looked at the young man below with his resolute features, steady aura, and reliable and capable nature, and couldn't help but smile. "You've come at just the right time. Elder Huang Yun's blood lion just had a litter of cubs. Although some of them were taken by other senior uncles, I still kept one here. You can try to make a contract with it."

As the foundational cultivation technique of Spirit Beast Mountain, the Spirit Gathering Technique only allows one's spiritual consciousness to barely condense a contract spell when cultivated to the fourth level, enabling one to contract one's own demon beast.

"Blood Lion? Thank you for your concern, Uncle-Master Chen!" Meng De was slightly taken aback, then thought of the "Illustrated Record of Ten Thousand Beasts" in Spirit Beast Mountain, where the Blood Lion's full name was Blood Demon Golden Lion, which had the potential to condense a demon core and was extremely precious.

"Whether you can successfully form a contract depends on your own fate." Chen Tai, who looked not much older than Meng De, shook his head slightly. Doing odd jobs in the Spirit Beast Mountain was actually risky. If you weren't careful, you would become food for the spirit beasts, and no one cared.

Although Meng De's talent for cultivation was average, with only four spiritual roots, he was able to stay among a group of unintelligent demonic beasts for ten years... which shows that this was also a kind of talent.

In other cultivation sects, menial tasks might involve managing herb gardens or clearing mines for safety... but in Spirit Beast Mountain, menial tasks include shoveling poop for the demonic beasts...

Some people, while shoveling, end up becoming the excrement themselves...

So, logically speaking, Meng De, a guy at the fourth level of Qi Refining, shouldn't be able to become an outer disciple of the Spirit Beast Mountain. However... considering that Meng De diligently cleaned up poop for various beast gardens and even helped summarize the experience of feeding demon beasts, a passing Core Formation senior uncle saw this and proposed that as long as Meng De completed ten years of menial work, he would be exceptionally allowed to become a formal disciple of the Spirit Beast Mountain.

Today marks the tenth anniversary of Mengde shoveling poop on Ling Shou Mountain.

So Mengde got up very early and waited at the entrance of the Black Cloud Monster Garden, eagerly anticipating what kind of monster he would contract with.

"Go ahead. If the spirit beasts resist, don't force them. Stop when you've had enough." Uncle Chen Tai opened the gate to the beast garden, and what came into view were more than a dozen level-one demon beasts of varying sizes.

Mengde immediately spotted a red-golden lion cub fighting a red hound several times its size on the grass.

"Blood Demon Golden Lion, Blazing Hound, Ice Dream Fox, Thunder Falcon... and a blue ox that has become a spirit, sent by people from the foot of the mountain." Chen Tai glanced at the fighting lion cubs, a smile on his lips, and did not stop them.

Compared to the lazy fox, the falcon standing motionless on the branch, and the old ox that only knew how to quietly graze in the corner, Chen Tai actually preferred watching the two little ones fight in front of him.

"Go ahead. Young beasts are actually relatively easy to deal with. As long as they don't dislike you, you're basically on the verge of success," Chen Tai, standing at the entrance of the animal park, reminded him again.

Although the Blood Demon Golden Lion cub has great potential, it also has a strong sense of ferocity. Whether this honest man can grasp it depends on his own fate. Chen Tai is just willing to give Meng De a little more chance based on this.

Of course, in Chen Tai's view, Mengde was unlikely to succeed.

"Thank you for your guidance, Uncle!" Meng De bowed gratefully again. Having traversed this cultivation world for over twenty years, he had experienced the full spectrum of human nature, and thus understood that Chen Tai's reminder was already extremely kind.

After expressing his gratitude to Chen Tai, Meng De immediately entered the Monster Garden and prepared to walk towards the angry lion cub.

Among the contract techniques of Spirit Beast Mountain, there are high-level contracts that can use high-level spirit beasts to enhance a cultivator's own talent. Therefore, if Meng De successfully contracts a spirit beast with high potential, then Meng De's own cultivation talent will be significantly improved.

So, regardless of success or failure, Mengde needed to give it a try.

but...

"Wait a minute!"

Just as Meng De stepped into the gate of the Monster Garden, a loud shout suddenly came from the clear sky in the distance. The sound was so loud that it made Meng De's eardrums throb even from several miles away.

"Senior Brother Chen, wait!" A pale yellow flying boat sped from afar. Soon, a cultivator dressed in a light blue robe with a golden falcon perched on his shoulder flew down from the flying boat. There were also more than a dozen Qi Refining cultivators of various kinds standing on the flying boat, each of whom had an aura several times stronger than Meng De!

"Oh, Junior Brother Lin has returned from the Ascension Platform with his team?" Chen Tai's lips curled up slightly when he saw the person in the distance. He subconsciously glanced at Meng De, who was already obediently standing in the corner with his hands clasped, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"There are quite a few promising talents this year, so I came here specifically to Senior Brother Chen to select suitable contracted spirit beasts." Lin Li, who was also at the Foundation Establishment stage, cupped his hands to Chen Tai, then patted the storage bag at his waist. More than ten talismans turned into streams of light and flew into the hands of the Qi Refining cultivators who came down from the flying boat behind him.

"Many of you have not learned the beast-taming methods of my Spirit Beast Mountain before, so this spirit beast contract talisman is one of your initiation gifts. First come, first served. Go and choose the spirit beast that suits you." Lin Li paid no attention to Meng De, who had already entered the sect, throughout the whole process.

"Thank you, Uncle Lin!" The newly promoted Qi Refining disciples of Spirit Beast Mountain immediately thanked Lin Li, and then entered the Monster Garden with Chen Tai's tacit permission. They were somewhat surprised when they saw Meng De, but most of them did not pay attention to a guy at the fourth level of Qi Refining and went to find their favorite spirit beasts.

Meng De remained motionless throughout the entire process. In this dog-eat-dog world of cultivation, weakness is the original sin. Only after everyone had made their selections and left did Meng De breathe a sigh of relief and look up at the empty monster garden.

Besides, there was the old green ox, who was still silently grazing on the spiritually rich grass in the monster garden, and was disliked by everyone for its low potential and advanced age.

"Ah... this can be considered a kind of fate." Meng De looked at the honest and kind old ox and couldn't help but sigh.

"There might be some other young beasts in other monster gardens," Chen Tai said calmly at the gate.

"Ah... I am deeply grateful for your kindness, Uncle-Master... but perhaps I have some kind of destiny with this green ox." Meng De gave up his fantasy, stepped forward and touched the old green ox's broad forehead, staring at the old green ox with its mouth still chewing grass, and smiled helplessly.

hum...

As a faint divine sense swept over him, the 'spiritual energy' within his body, which Meng De couldn't understand, condensed from his limbs into his palm, eventually forming a mysterious light-colored mark.

The old green ox, whose mind was only focused on eating as many delicious spiritual herbs as possible in the Spirit Beast Mountain in his lifetime, had no intention of resisting. Before long, Meng De found that he seemed to have successfully formed a contract.
