Chapter 439: Chapter 240: Ancient Genesis and the Golden Bull! _3
The pulsating maroon lump of flesh rhythmically throbbed from several points, yet the beats were not synchronized.
She Wan and Lu Xiaoyin recognized at once that this was a taboo in the Beastmaster world, a forbidden technique that even the reckless Eternal Alchemy Association had banned.
This old man had inexplicably cultivated, within his own legs, multiple contamination sources of considerable tier.
The result was the eerie appearance of his own legs.
No matter his reasons for such actions, in the eyes of She Wan and Lu Xiaoyin, this old man was nothing short of a mad man.
She Wan could sense the old man’s spiritual power like a vast ocean.
Her own spiritual power, which she prided, was but a mere river in front of the old man.
Even if a river strived to surge wildly, it wouldn’t cause any impact on a vast ocean.
From the extent of the old man’s spiritual power, it was clear that his strength far exceeded her own.
Still, as a guard, She Wan was the first to summon both the Silver Void Purple Spider and the Ghost System Beast Soulswap Mantong, her usual trump card, without any reservations.
She placed them in front of Fang Mu, who had just stepped into the courtyard.
She Wan’s facial expression was severely grave, all while privately expressing her frustration.
Had Fang Mu not made his appearance at that moment, she could have used the Ghost System Beast, Soulswap Mantong, to stall the old man.
If she could hold off for merely a few seconds, the Silver Void Purple Spider could have transported Fang Mu into the void.
From the moment she became Fang Mu’s guard, She Wan had been prepared to sacrifice herself for his protection.
Coming from a prominent family, She Wan always understood one principle: one must fulfill the responsibilities and obligations that come with prestige and benefits.
Only such people are deserving of glory!
She Wan, who was ready for combat, quickly noticed that Fang Mu, without any change in expression, headed towards the old man as if he were familiar with him.
At this point, Fang Mu finally understood why Golden Bull had warned that his legs would cause unnecessary trouble.
Fang Mu, having read the scavenger’s secret texts, had some understanding of pollutants.
Pollutants could take the form of Guardian Beasts, items, or even any other conceivable form.
After the prolonged developments of The Seventh Era, many scholars discovered that, similar to Guardian Beasts, pollutants could be contracted.
Once a contract with a pollutant was made, the Contractor would gradually be assimilated by the pollutant, transforming into a source of contamination.
A Beast Master who becomes a pollution source retains their sanity, but they tend to develop an insatiable thirst for blood and cruelty.
Eventually, they could even lose their humanity, becoming an emotionless being who acts on whim.
Such existences pose a far greater danger than a madman.
Just like the Evil Heart Sect and the Eternal Alchemy Association, the Ancient Genesis’s risk level is even higher.
The Evil Heart Sect and the Eternal Alchemy Association are utterly mad, but the leaders of Ancient Genesis have contracted multiple pollutants, turning themselves into sources of contamination.
Driven by absolute rationality, the Ancient Genesis’s actions are even more resolute, ruthless, and insane.
Among the few chaotic evil factions, the Ancient Genesis has the power to eradicate the entire medium-sized Federation.
The extermination of a medium-sized Federation by the Ancient Genesis enraged the Federation of Ten Thousand Nations.
Leading ten large federations, they jointly embarked on a crusade against the Ancient Genesis and slew numerous strong figures.
Since then, the evil power of the Ancient Genesis has been in a state of seclusion.
The act of contracting a pollutant, incorporating it into one’s body with the chance of enhancing one’s lifespan, is exclusive to the Ancient Genesis.
This old man, capable of integrating so many pollutants within his body, must somehow be linked to the Ancient Genesis.
Fang Mu was unfazed by whether or not Golden Bull had any connection to the Ancient Genesis.
Golden Bull was unquestionably one of the full-fledged members of the Starwheel.
The sudden decrease in Golden Bull’s lifespan was likely linked to his relocation of pollutants into his body.
The upper body of Golden Bull had clearly not been tainted by pollutants; he was not a pollution source yet.
Golden Bull was evidently suppressing the pollutants in his legs from tainting his upper body.
Given Golden Bull’s desperate desire to extend his lifespan, it was understandable for Golden Bull to experiment with the Ancient Genesis’s method of improving lifespan by implanting pollutants into the body.
Even the most rational individuals have moments of desperation.
With Golden Bull’s strength and connections, it was possible to acquire the Ancient Genesis’s method of implanting pollutants into the body.
As long as Golden Bull stopped the pollutants from tainting his upper body, his emotions and thoughts wouldn’t be corrupted by the contaminants.
Golden Bull had a way to suppress the contamination from his lower body’s pollutants to his upper body. Once his lifespan increased, he might also be able to remove the implanted pollutants from his body.
Upon reaching Golden Bull, Fang Mu directly showed respect accorded by a junior to his elder.
“Elder Shu, you’ve had a long journey, please come in for some tea!”
Fang Mu showed respect to him as a junior, yet Shu Liangjun chose not to assume the role of an elder in return.
Instead, he addressed Fang Mu as an equal.
“Ah Mu, I am indeed a bit thirsty.”
Ever since his arrival, Shu Liangjun had been watching Fang Mu.
It was the first time Shu Liangjun had met Fang Mu in person and he noticed that Fang Mu didn’t show any panic upon seeing him.
Although he seemed slightly surprised, his demeanor remained natural.
This suggested two possibilities: Either Fang Mu had encountered Beast Masters like him, who had implanted pollutants into their bodies, and was used to it, or Fang Mu possessed an exceptional calmness and comportment in the face of sudden changes.

Golden Bull tended to believe the latter.
Straight-laced Grandmaster Creators were generally disinclined to interact with powerhouses such as the Ancient Genesis.
If Qixing truly had a connection with the Ancient Genesis and valued and cherished his disciples, he would certainly not allow his disciples to come into contact with the Ancient Genesis.
As Fang Mu headed towards the house, he noticed the tense look on She Wan’s face. He winked at her and said,
“Sister Wan, an old friend is visiting. You should come meet him too!”
