10: Chapter 10: We've struck it rich!

[Dark Blade Mantis]

[Attributes]: Grass, Dark

[Quality]: Excellent

[Level]: Black Iron 1-Star

[Status]: Perfect

[Innate Skills]: Swift Blade, Cross Slash, Stealth, Shadow Strike, Dark Devouring Toxin

[Evolution Chain]: Scythe Mantis - Dark Blade Mantis - Blood-Blade Mad Mantis - Shadow Blade - Rift-Slicing Mantis Emperor - Void Ripper

[Dark Blade Mantis - Blood-Blade Mad Mantis (Bloodthirsty Evolution): Devour 100 Silver Grade monster beast hearts, take 500 liters of Gold-tier monster beast blood, add 5 Blood Essence Stones, and soak for 2 hours.]

[Description]: Evolved from a mutated Scythe Mantis. Its Dark-type talent is even more outstanding. With poison-coated blades, it excels at assassination and is a top-tier assassin lurking in the shadows, possessing limitless potential.

After evolving, the Dark Blade Mantis not only reached Black Iron 1-Star but also mastered five skills.

"Black Iron 1-Star, Excellent quality. With Xiaodao's strength, it should easily secure the number one spot among the student beasts at Linjiang No. 1 High School!"

Looking at the Dark Blade Mantis's attributes, Chu Xiu's face was filled with excitement.

Within a single day, he had gone from a Gray-White 2-Star Beastmaster who hadn't even condensed a Beast Taming Seed to a Gray-White 8-Star Beastmaster with a Black Iron 1-Star tamed beast.

Such an astonishing rise would surely cause a massive sensation if anyone found out.

"Ding! The host has successfully evolved the Scythe Mantis. Achievement Points +10!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the first evolution achievement. Achievement Points +100!"

Just then, the system popped up two more messages. The sudden addition of 110 Achievement Points filled Chu Xiu with joy.

Without hesitation, he immediately summoned the Lucky Wheel and began the draw.

This world was not safe. Although his current strength surpassed 99% of his peers, he was still very weak.

He urgently needed to increase his strength, so he didn't spend more time saving up for a ten-fold draw just to save 100 Achievement Points. Instead, he immediately cashed in his Achievement Points to boost his strength.

In any case, there would be plenty of opportunities to acquire Achievement Points in the future, so he didn't mind this 100-point difference.

As the 100 Achievement Points were consumed, the pointer on the wheel spun rapidly. After a dozen seconds, it slowly came to a halt.

This time, Chu Xiu was not as lucky as before. The pointer stopped on a blue area.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the special grade magic nutrient solution brewing technique!"

Buzz!!!

As the system popped up the prize notification, a massive amount of information flooded into Chu Xiu's mind, all of which was about the methods and insights for making mana nutrient solution.

In just a brief moment, Chu Xiu felt as if he had been through a thousand trials, and his proficiency in making mana nutrient solution had reached the absolute peak.

"I can actually brew mana nutrient solution myself now!"

Once Chu Xiu digested the extra memories in his mind, his spirits lifted, and a look of wild joy appeared in his eyes.

Although he hadn't drawn a gold legendary-grade prize this time, a blue-quality reward was still very rare.

The production technique for the special grade magic nutrient solution he had just obtained was a perfect fit for his current needs.

mana nutrient solution contained a rich concentration of mana sources. Not only could it be directly absorbed by a Beastmaster, but it could also grant them a period of accelerated cultivation.

The production of mana nutrient solution required a special resource called the magic source flower. Depending on its years of growth, its grade could be categorized into four levels: Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, and Gold.

The grade of the mana nutrient solution produced from different grades of magic source flowers also varied, being categorized into four types: primary, intermediate, advanced, and special grade.

Even the lowest-grade primary mana nutrient solution sold for as much as 10,000 on the market.

"Xiaodao, let's go. Let's get a few magic source flowers right now to test the waters!"

Having obtained the production technique for the special grade magic nutrient solution, Chu Xiu called out to the newly evolved Dark Blade Mantis, recalled it into his Beast Taming Bracelet, and left the nurturing room.

Xiaodao's evolution had taken quite a bit of time. By the time Chu Xiu walked out of the nurturing room, it was already nine in the evening.

As soon as he opened the door, he came across Chu Yuqing, who was sitting on a seat next to the nurturing room.

"Sis."

Seeing Chu Yuqing waiting at the door, Chu Xiu quickly called out.

He quickly walked up to Chu Yuqing and asked in surprise, "How long have you been waiting?"

"Not that long. I only came over after getting off work at eight-thirty. Seeing that you weren't done yet, I went to buy some food. I had just sat down after coming back when you walked out."

"It's so late, you must be hungry. Here, this is your favorite hot dry noodles with Barbarian Beef. Eat up."

Hearing this, Chu Yuqing looked up at Chu Xiu as he walked over, smiling as she picked up a lunchbox from the chair beside her and handed it to him.

"Mhm, thank you, Sis."

Smelling the aroma coming from the lunchbox, Chu Xiu's stomach let out an embarrassing growl. He hurriedly took the lunchbox and thanked Chu Yuqing.

The two siblings sat on the bench outside the nurturing room and ate their simple dinner.

After filling his stomach, Chu Xiu, to Chu Yuqing's surprise, proposed to purchase five Black Iron Tier magic source flowers.

Having finally obtained the magic source flowers, Chu Xiu returned to the nurturing room once again and began to make primary mana nutrient solution.

[magic source flower: Black Iron 9-Star. Contains a rich source of mana. Direct consumption can help a Beastmaster increase their mana, but the effect is even better when made into a mana nutrient solution.]

Glancing at the information of the five magic source flowers in front of him, Chu Xiu immediately began to make the mana nutrient solution.

He crushed the magic source flowers, added them to a beaker, and subjected them to a series of treatments such as extraction and distillation.

As Chu Xiu operated, every step was familiar and incredibly smooth. It was as if he already possessed muscle memory; he precisely controlled each step to perfection.

An hour later, a large beaker filled with a light-blue mana nutrient solution appeared in front of Chu Xiu.

Taking out some standard medicine vials from the side, Chu Xiu poured the mana nutrient solution from the beaker into them.

Only after filling a total of 50 standard medicine vials was the mana potion he made fully packaged.

"Five Black Iron Tier magic source flowers produced 50 vials of primary mana nutrient solution. If I sell these, that's 500,000!"

"Just the primary mana nutrient solution alone has a profit margin of up to 900%. This is too lucrative!"

"With my current efficiency in brewing primary mana nutrient solution, I can completely satisfy my own cultivation needs while selling the excess."

"Even if I only sell 10 vials of primary mana nutrient solution, that's 100,000 in hand. Then I can buy 10 Black Iron Tier magic source flowers, brew 100 vials of primary mana nutrient solution, and that's another 1,000,000. Money makes money, I've struck it rich!"

Looking at the 50 vials of primary mana nutrient solution neatly arranged in front of him, Chu Xiu smelled the scent of money, his face full of excitement.

After calming his excitement, he fetched a black plastic bag from the nurturing room, packed all fifty vials of primary mana nutrient solution, and walked toward the nurturing room's door.
