On the ground, Qistina's green vine waved its long tendrils, trying to provoke Red furiously. Unexpectedly, Red didn't even lift its eyelids, just hummed softly and pressed close to Regret's neck.
"Your spirit beast really has quite the personality," Qistina said helplessly.
"No choice, the differences in species are quite large." Regret innocently shrugged his shoulders. He had also noticed that apart from him, Red seemed to have no warmth for any other creatures.
"Oh, cousin, I forgot to tell you, it seems like there has been a last minute change in the Elder in charge of distributing the spirit condensing liquid for the Blaze family today," suddenly, Qistina's gaze became serious.
"Who?" Regret felt something was amiss.
"Kartis Kai."
"Well, it seems things are getting a bit lively then." Regret's eyes narrowed slowly and a faint smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
"Let's go."
Today, for the Blaze family, it was not an ordinary day. All the young ones who had gone out for training or tasks were gathered in front of the main hall, whispering to each other, making the place lively.
As Regret passed by, many clan members warmly greeted him. Of course, he noticed the sympathetic glances toward him, especially when they saw Red. However, he just smiled faintly without paying much attention.
"Regret, are you interested in coming with me to Bloodstone Pass for training? The spirit masters there are much better than the ones here."
"Don't listen to him. Bloodstone Pass is boring. Come with me to the Twilight Cloud Forest to catch spirit beasts. If we catch a talented one, we can earn a few bottles of Spirit Condensing Liquid."
"Tsk, you're only catching low level spirit beasts, at most one fetches ten gold coins. And you're lucky if you catch one in a day, don't think I don't know."
In the end, the two Blaze family members were about to quarrel, and the surrounding young people burst into laughter. Regret also had a gentle smile on his face. The cohesion among the Blaze family members was remarkably strong.
The spirit masters in Veloria City knew that the Blaze family had only appeared here about a dozen years ago, as newcomers. Back then, the local power, the Snow family, was naturally unhappy. But after being collectively taught a lesson by the Blaze clan several times, they eventually accepted the Blaze family's presence here.
However, friction had never been absent in recent years.
"Hehe, finally, today has come. With this bottle of Spirit Condensing Liquid, and the few bottles I've saved up for the past few months, I should be able to advance my Golden bird to the next level."
"Blaze Tom, lend me yours. I've been wandering in the Twilight Cloud Forest for days with no gains. I'm so desperate."
"Go away, how can I lend it to you? For the sake of buying a book on body refining techniques, my Green Vine Monster hasn't tasted the flavor of Spirit Condensation Liquid for a long time."
From the mouths of these young men and women, it is not difficult to hear the importance of Spirit Condensation Liquid for the practice of spirit beasts. Only Regret has little desire for this medicinal liquid, while others are eagerly seeking it.
However, at present, Regret has not planned to refine Azure Spirit Liquid for the clan. This is not because he is stingy. The appearance of a new type of medicine will undoubtedly cause a stir in Veloria City. By then, it is feared that not only the Snow family but also other several families will force the Blaze family to hand over the prescription. This is not what Regret wants to see.
"Why hasn't the Second Elder come yet? I still have tasks to do later."
"I'm not sure, maybe he went to the warehouse to get us Spirit Condensation Liquid."
Except for Regret and Qistina, the others are still unaware that there have been changes in the clan's internal affairs elders.
"He's here, he's here."
Seeing the flickering figure in the distance, the place instantly quieted down, and Regret's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Who is this person; it seems like he's not the Second Elder."
"I don't know. Ask Regret; he's always in the clan."
Walking slowly to the front, Kartis Kai scanned the surroundings and smiled, saying, "I'm Kartis Kai from the Kartis family. Elder Blaze Peter is not here for some reason. From now on, I will be in charge of internal affairs for the Blaze family."
The young people of the Blaze family, after glancing at Kartis Kai, indifferently withdrew their gazes, unconcerned about who the elder overseeing internal affairs was. As long as they obtained the Spirit Condensing Liquid, that was all that mattered.
"Kartis family, huh."
A few voices of disdain quietly emerged, mostly from those who had witnessed Kartis Van's ugly face days before.
"Elder Kartis Kai, hurry up, many people have things to do." Blaze Tot, who had invited Regret to Bloodstone Pass, was the first to speak. The Blaze family tradition dictated that those in charge of specific affairs were given the title of elder. Only the patriarch Blaze Ash and the second elder Blaze Peter were truly recognized. "Alright, from now on, my grandson Kartis Man will be in charge of distributing the Spirit Condensing Liquid. kartis Man, come over here."
Waving towards the back, Kartis Kai walked towards the outskirts of the area with a meaningful smile on his face before leaving.
"Cousin, Kartis Man seems to be looking for trouble," Qistina frowned slightly.
Seeing Kartis Man approaching with a smile, Regret felt no sense of urgency but rather a growing interest. He was eager to see what kind of tricks Kartis Man would play.
Glancing at the younger generation of the Blaze family, Kartis Man's smile intensified. He had yet to find anyone stronger than himself among them. With his eighth grade spiritual beast and the highest grade being Blaze Tot's seventh grade Blue Flame Beast, Kartis Man felt a sense of superiority.
Blaze Family? Just so so!
