Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 366

While the children continued talking about beasts, Tao's face suddenly fell.

"Will it be very bad if we stop using the new cultivation methods here? I hate that they're forbidden in Goldcrest territory..." His voice dropped to a whisper, eyes darting nervously toward the door as if patrollers might materialize at the mere mention of 'forbidden' techniques.

"You stopped today's cultivation?" Ren asked.

The casual conversation had suddenly veered into more serious territory.

Tao and Li exchanged nervous glances.

"Technically the day isn't over yet, but yes," Li admitted in a low voice. "We use them freely at school since it's on the other side of the new border... but not here."

"Master Huang told us not to bring any notes home," added Tao, leaning closer as if sharing a dangerous secret. "He says he doesn't know what the patrols might be using to detect if we're using them."

The fear in his voice reflected the reality of their new divided world, where even children's cultivation methods had become political battlegrounds. _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}

Ren nodded thoughtfully, his expression serious as he considered their predicament. "Your teacher was right... I don't think those patrol idiots can distinguish whether you used the method or not, unless you bring written notes. But don't be afraid either, the cultivation method itself doesn't leave visible traces to ordinary eyes."

His reassurance carried the confidence of someone who knew precisely what he was talking about.

"Really?" asked Li, visibly relieved.

"Of course," Ren confirmed. "You should do your cultivation today. If you don't have crystals, I can get you some from my parents who've gathered quite a few... The method for plants is quite simple, after all. You just need to properly process the mana that falls in the rain, expose it to the sun for a specific number of hours, and seal the energy at the appropriate moments, so I can replenish some for you later."

The technical details flowed naturally, his explanation precise and confident. The children looked at him with amazement, their eyes widening at his casual expertise.

"How do you know the exact details of the new cultivation for plants?" asked Tao, his brow furrowing with suspicion. "You have a completely different beast."

Ren shrugged, trying to appear casual. "I know it. At the academy, we have access to information about all types of beasts."

"Well, we don't need crystals... We already have some processed ones saved," commented Li, changing the subject from his friend's probing question. "But we stopped cultivation today for fear the patrols would discover it."

"It's not good to interrupt the process once started," Ren warned with seriousness. "I'd recommend resuming it as soon as possible, right now if you can. One lost day can affect the entire sequence... I insist they won't discover you."

The explanation seemed to momentarily satisfy the children, though Tao continued looking at him with certain suspicion.

Yang and Wei had finished digging a considerably larger hole than the improvised previous hiding place. The earth walls had been reinforced with stone manipulation, creating a surprisingly stable structure. The unconscious patrollers lay at the bottom, securely bound with multiple restraints.

"The hole is ready," announced Yang, wiping his hands with a cloth. "Deep and with enough air for us to survive a while even when sealed."

Ren went down and illuminated the work area with his mushrooms, and it was then that he truly noticed the state of his parents in the clearer light of the storehouse. After all the rushed events of today, a relaxed look showed him what he had unconsciously ignored...
