50: Guangyou

For more than four hours, Li Wen spent his time in torment and joy.

During this period, not only did Yabao's growth level significantly increase, but even Yuanwang, this 'filter', also saw a small increase in his growth level during the process of transmitting energy.

The proficiency of the racial Skill 'Catalysis' improved from (Entry) to (Proficient), which in turn boosted his growth level.

The reason, perhaps, is that this Skill is essentially integrated with 'Flourish', and such intense use forced its improvement due to survival instincts.

Spending more small money and saving a small portion of knowledge points, I don't know what I'm aiming for?

However, there was good news to soothe Li Wen's mood: if such an improvement happened a few more times, Yabao could break through to Entry-level Advanced.

The bad news is that even once, let alone a few times, Li Wen's financial condition couldn't support it, not to mention that the evolution materials for an Entry-level Advanced Yabao might not be much cheaper than for Qingyan.

Qingyan had eight sets of materials, while Yabao's single set of materials was stronger than six sets combined.

Contracted Pet: Yabao

attribute: Wood

growth level: Entry-level Intermediate

Energy Value: 921

trait: Self-Healing

Taught Skills: Low-tier Skills: ① Low-level Self-Healing (Mastery + 5) ② Lock-On (Proficient + 3) ③ Disguise (Proficient + 1)

Mid-tier Skills: ① Growth (Mastery + 3) ② Turn Danger into Safety (Proficient + 1)

Racial Skills: Low-tier Skills: ① Leaf Blade (Proficient + 7) ② Ram (Mastery + 5)

Mid-tier Skills: ① Leaf Slash (Mastery)

High-tier Skills: ① Life Vitality (Entry) ② Desperate Counterattack (Entry)

Evolution Plan:

Evolution Conditions:

...Venue Requirements: A place with extremely rich Life Vitality, preferably with the bloodline of its own kind nearby.

Material Requirements: Essential Materials: life leaf × 5, aluminum-silicon source soil × 1, moonlight crystal × 1, heart of metamorphosis × 1

Non-essential Materials:

① Spring of Life

② Eye of the Netherworld

③ Dragon Bone Broken Sword

...Alright, just looking at the essential materials is enough. What are these non-essential materials? They don't seem to be things that should be used at this level, do they?

There's no need to even think about the venue; there's only one place that can meet these two conditions: the habitat of the Life Ancient Tree Emperor.

It's more important now to see how much these materials will cost. That's the top priority.

life leaf: Requires leaves rich in life energy. The type of leaf is not limited, but it must at least reach the level of a Level 4 material.

“Life Ancient Tree Emperor, it's not that I keep trying to exploit you; it's just that this damn panel points all its arrows at you!”

The more heartfelt his words were, the happier he felt inside at that moment, having saved money on another material.

aluminum-silicon source soil: As the parent material for red soil, it possesses the potential of all acidic soils, which is beneficial for plants to improve the sharpness of their leaves.

Li Wen: Buddy, you're on the wrong channel, aren't you? Are you giving me a lecture on 'Soil Science'?

This isn't knowledge from this world. What's wrong with the panel?

This is a substitute chosen based on the host's own knowledge. The price of the original solution's material is ten times that of this material.

“What's wrong with the panel? It's really too considerate! Give me more of these operations in the future.”

The panel was already accustomed to this person's thick skin and had no intention of responding to Li Wen.

moonlight crystal: A naturally formed crystal in the Beastmaster world, composed of the purest mental energy, capable of significantly boosting a pet's mental power.

The first two were relatively easy to solve. life leaf could be 'obtained for free', and aluminum-silicon source soil could be directly purchased on the official forum.

As for this moonlight crystal, although Li Wen had seen it in the exchange list, the minimum exchange required Level 5 forum access.

Even if he passed the Entry-level Advanced Beastmaster qualification, plus the additional level for being a Breeder, he would only have Level 4 access.

To accommodate Breeders, the official forum has two independent methods for calculating access.

When calculated together, it is based on the Beastmaster certification level, plus an additional level starting from Beginner Breeder.

When calculating Breeder level separately, it starts directly at Level 3 for Beginner Breeders, then increases by one level at a time.

This can still be solved, albeit with some difficulty. He could just pay his senior brother to purchase it for him, at most spending a bit more money. The last one, however, was a bit unreasonable.

heart of metamorphosis: A material that assists pet evolution and can increase the success rate of evolution. It is generally used in high-tier evolution.

(Note: Due to the extremely low success rate of this evolution path, the failure rate is close to 99.99% without this material.)

Well, so that's where you were waiting for me.

moonlight crystal was just a matter of insufficient access, but this one was completely impossible, because its effect was too great, so it was always out of stock.

It couldn't even be found on the forum or through regular channels. The only option was to acquire it at a high price in the black market or an auction house. There seemed to be no other possibility.

However, the heart of metamorphosis in the black market was usually too high-level for him to use, and one at an auction house would cost at least 5 million.

Anyway, there's always a way. For now, just dream about it; everything is possible in dreams.

Just as Qingyan's ritual was complete, he might as well look at something good to ease his mind.

Contracted Pet: Qingyan

attribute: Insect

growth level: Entry-level Advanced

Energy Value: 1001

trait: Gluttony

Racial Skills: Low-tier Skills: Insect Silk (Grandmaster), Light Blessing (Entry)

Mid-tier Skills: Fire Velvet (Mastery + 3), Metabolic Acceleration (Proficient + 2)

High-tier Skills: Super Digestion (Entry)

Double the surprise; both the new Skill and the growth level were unexpected by Li Wen.

According to Li Wen's guess, Light-type and Dark-type racial Skills should be high-tier Skills, but he didn't expect them to be categorized as low-tier Skills along with the unranked 'Insect Silk'.

Skill: Light Blessing

Skill Level: Unranked

Skill Description:

All light-type energy absorbed by the pet will attach to its body, automatically strengthening its physical toughness through energy.

The simplest Skill description, yet it was the Skill effect the Little Green Worm needed most.

If Li Wen's three pets were compared, Qingyan was at a complete disadvantage overall.

Little Green Worm:

Physical Toughness: Weak

Mental Power: Medium

Energy Value: Weak

Sprout Beast:

Physical Toughness: Medium

Mental Power: Medium

Energy Value: High

Grass Element Slime:

Physical Toughness: Medium

Mental Power: Weak

Energy Value: High

From a racial perspective alone, Qingyan was completely outclassed, and in reality, it was.

However, through its proficiency in Skills, self-development, and some small tactics, it could still contend with Yabao.

If its physical toughness could increase to the point of directly confronting Yabao, that would be absolutely outrageous, especially since the Skill level is unranked, so adding points wouldn't cost much.

That explains why the higher-level Light-attribute Skill was low-level; it corresponded to physical toughness.

Thinking of this, Li Wen was already looking forward to the scene of Qingyan's small tail flicking a giant dragon away.

Just thinking about it made him a little excited. Enough talk, time to add points.
