175: Four Seasons White Star Beast
This pet beast, overall, looked very similar to both a horse and a deer, feeling like a hybrid product of their genes.
It had two horns on its head, larger than those of a Seven-Colored Deer, with more branches, and its body was as robust as a horse's.
It had two broad wings on its back, and its tail was a fluffy fox tail. Its entire body, from head to tail, was pure white without a singleVariegated.

Luo Chen looked at this Four Seasons White Chen Beast with a strange expression. If it weren't for the last Skill, this guy wouldn't look like an Auspicious Beast at all.
However, even with this last Skill, its effect didn't seem very significant, though it might be useful in some Secret Realms where the scenery never changes.
Little Furball had already sealed the Skills of these three Auspicious Beasts, so the three Auspicious Beasts huddled together, looking pitifully at Luo Chen.
All three of these pet beasts were very good-looking; it should be said that there were no ugly Auspicious Beasts, they all conformed to human aesthetics.
Luo Chen, being watched like this, felt a little soft-hearted, so he explained to the three little ones,
“Don't blame me, it’s because your elders were too impolite. You guys can stay in the Qingyou Secret Realm for a few days first.”
Luo Chen looked at the last Four Seasons White Chen Beast, and unconsciously thought, the plant-Type spiritual materials planted in the Qingyou Secret Realm, the changes of the four seasons shouldn't have any impact on them, right?
Little Furball led the three Auspicious Beasts and followed Luo Chen into the leftmost spatial gate, which glowed with a faint blue light.
This was Luo Chen's first time entering the Qingyou Secret Realm after it had expanded tenfold. The expansion of this Secret Realm's area indeed had extraordinary effects; the surroundings were vast and boundless.
It was a pity that the newly born land was barren, with nothing growing, appearing a bit too empty.
However, the current space of millions of square meters was completely sufficient for the current Chenyang Pet Store. Even if this Secret Realm wasn't enough, there was still the Stone Spirit Secret Realm, and that new third-tier Secret Realm, and also the Colorful Moon Secret Realm that his teacher gave him.
The light gate was not far from the small wooden house. Luo Chen looked at the front and back of the small wooden house; there were only a few Azure Nether Grass left. At first, Luo Chen, out of curiosity, almost evolved all the Azure Nether Grass into Ghost Hair Rune Grass.
He only realized it when only a few remained. Luo Chen then decided that he would only evolve these few Azure Nether Grass after they had produced enough seeds.
Otherwise, the Azure Nether Grass race would disappear from his Secret Realm.
It is worth mentioning that sometimes the offspring produced by an evolved pet beast are not necessarily of its evolved race.
Just like the offspring born from two Frostwind Spirit Wolves are still their pre-evolution form, the Frost Wolf.
However, some evolved pet beasts can only produce offspring in their evolved form, just like the Ghost Hair Rune Grass, which, when combined, still produce Ghost Hair Rune Grass.
As for the underlying rules, even the master breeders who have studied this knowledge for many years cannot explain it clearly.
There were not many pet beasts in the Qingyou Secret Realm, mostly only Fierce Tier and Spirit Rank pet beasts.
They were now gathered in twos and threes, either chasing each other or lying side by side resting. The overall atmosphere was not much different from the Secret Realm where the Auspicious Beasts were.
It was just that the environment here was a bit dim, but the ubiquitous glowing grass and glowing trees compensated for this shortcoming very well.
Various soft lights added a dreamy feeling to the place.
If the environment was not bright enough, one could pat the sunflower, which appeared only one at a time far away, to make them emit brighter light like the sun.
From a distance, Luo Chen saw the Rainbow Spirit King Sparrow, sneaking around with its butt sticking up. That direction was precisely where the phoenix blood grass grew.
Luo Chen quickened his steps and kicked the Rainbow Spirit King Sparrow's butt.
“Your drool is about to drip onto the phoenix blood grass, it’s going to be stunted by your stench. From now on, you cannot approach it within three meters.”
The Rainbow Spirit King Sparrow, which had been kicked head over heels, flapped its wings and jumped up, ready to fiercely claw the ‘culprit’.
But as soon as it heard Luo Chen's voice, it immediately wilted, showing a fawning expression,
“Oh, Shopkeeper, it’s only been three days, why are you back already?”
“If I didn’t come back, my phoenix blood grass would be killed by your breath. I even suspect that the phoenix blood grass isn't growing because of your breath.”
Luo Chen looked at the phoenix blood grass, which hadn't changed at all from before, and a deep suspicion arose in his heart. Could it be that his cultivation method was wrong, which was why the phoenix blood grass wasn't growing?
“Shopkeeper, don't falsely accuse me. The growth of this phoenix blood grass is naturally measured in years. How long have you had it? How could you see it growing?”
Luo Chen also knew he was being impatient, but every time he saw this Rainbow Spirit King Sparrow drooling over the phoenix blood grass every day, he felt annoyed.
He could only attribute it to the fact that his first impression of this Rainbow Spirit King Sparrow was too bad, which was why he always found it so displeasing.
“Where’s that Wood-born Flood Dragon? Didn't I tell you to teach it things?”
Hearing Luo Chen mention this, the Rainbow Spirit King Sparrow's eyes darted around evasively,
“Shopkeeper, didn't you tell me to teach it things? It's currently working in the Stone Spirit Secret Realm. It's performing very actively.”
Listening to its description, Luo Chen was somewhat skeptical. Could that Wood-born Flood Dragon, which yearned for freedom so much, really be so active?
“Is that so? I’ll go find it later. This time, I’m taking it with me and will inspect your progress.”
Luo Chen then looked at the three Auspicious Beasts still fearfully observing their surroundings, “These three are also entrusted to you from now on. Help me take good care of them and just let them stay obediently in the Secret Realm.”
If it weren't for the fact that these three little ones were unfamiliar with the place, he would have planned to separate them and put them in the Qingyou, Stone Spirit, and Colorful Moon Secret Realms.
The Rainbow Spirit King Sparrow looked at the shrinking three little ones, its eyes lighting up, a scent of auspiciousness.
“Shopkeeper, where did these come from? Aren’t Auspicious Beasts almost extinct?”
Luo Chen looked at it, his eyes filled with a hint of surprise, “You know about Auspicious Beasts?”
“Uh, Auspicious Beasts can bring good luck to heaven and earth or to people around them, avoiding calamities. So, for a long period in the past, powerful pet beast races would capture Auspicious Beasts and keep them in captivity.
Some pet beasts even believed that eating Auspicious Beasts could enhance their own fortune and be favored by heaven and earth, so for another long period, Auspicious Beasts were eagerly hunted and killed.
However, this was later proven to be a hoax. Those pet beasts that consumed more Auspicious Beasts soon encountered various calamities and died violent deaths one after another.
So, in later eras, people only kept them in captivity and dared not hunt them. With the resurgence of conflicts among various races, Auspicious Beasts completely disappeared in the Fourth Era and have never appeared in the world since.
I didn't expect the Shopkeeper to be able to capture three at once now.”
Luo Chen narrowed his eyes, not expecting Auspicious Beasts to have such a history.
“Since you know they are Auspicious Beasts, for the next period, you must take good care of them, otherwise, be careful of being rejected by heaven and earth.”
As the Rainbow Spirit King Sparrow listened to Luo Chen's words, one could see black lines covering its face.
However, the next second, its face was filled with joy. It flew among the three little ones, rubbing and bumping against them, even muttering non-stop,
“Rubbing for good luck, rubbing for fortune.”
Luo Chen had Little Furball release the restraints on the three little ones, and then watched the three Auspicious Beasts frantically try to avoid the Rainbow Spirit King Sparrow's touch.
Luo Chen shook his head and no longer paid attention to them. Anyway, without his permission, the three Auspicious Beasts could not leave the Qingyou Secret Realm at all.
He then walked along the spirit spring to see how the carp he had found in the treasure hunt was doing now.
