146: Duobao Berry Tree and Hunyuan Pearl

Qin Shao smiled and said, "Actually, it's like this. As an honorary president, to meet the assessment conditions for the legendary level, one needs to take two quasi-legendary level Beastmasters for an internship, which lasts for three months."

"But your situation is very special. The Xiao Family—seems to have no intention of letting you go."

Gu Xiaoyue gave a bitter smile. Of course, she knew that the Xiao Family wouldn't let her go.

Although there was no evidence, they were convinced that she had stolen the auction items.

In fact, she did do it, so what!

When Xiao Mingyan plotted against her, he should have been prepared to lose more than he gained!

"The main thing is that you have always been at school, so your actual combat experience might be insufficient. Therefore, for you, the so-called internship is more accurately described as close protection."

Qin Shao adjusted his sitting posture and continued, "Once you pass the legendary level assessment, the Beastmaster Association will give you a higher status, and the Xiao Family will have to think twice before making a move against you."

From Qin Shao's words, it wasn't hard to guess that he had probably received news that the Xiao Family intended to take action during the National Competition.

Gu Xiaoyue frowned, weighing the situation for a moment.

"I also want to reach the assessment conditions sooner, but I'm not a magician! I just barely met the quasi-legendary conditions, how can I immediately reach the legendary conditions?"

"That's not an issue. Didn't I tell you before? If the level isn't high enough, make up for it with quality! Just fill in the detailed information about your high-level pet beasts, submit it, and once it's approved, that's it!"

Qin Shao's words made Gu Xiaoyue sneer inwardly. So this is where you were waiting for me?

Not to mention whether the Hechuan Beastmaster Association would get performance credits if she passed the legendary level assessment, leaking the information about the high-level pet beasts in her possession would bring only harm and no benefit.

Up until now, Gu Xiaoyue did not fully trust Xiao Han and Qin Shao.

Gu Xiaoyue put on a troubled expression. "The main thing is that the National Competition starts in a month. If the audit is passed, I should be in Kyoto. It wouldn't be good for me to take the legendary level assessment in Kyoto, right? I don't know anyone there, sigh—"

She glanced at Qin Shao's face, which had darkened slightly. "I still want to take the test in Hechuan. What do you think, Manager Qin?"

Qin Shao smiled awkwardly, "There's no need to be so anxious. Let's wait until you come back from the National Competition!"

He picked up the quasi-legendary Beastmaster badge and handed it solemnly to Gu Xiaoyue.

"I'm going to list some supplies for sale. I'll be going now!" Gu Xiaoyue greeted Qin Shao and went to the room for listing items.

"Ding—detected that the host has become a quasi-legendary Beastmaster—new achievement unlocked, reward: 6300 points, one Multiple Treasure Berry Tree—system store unlocked—"

Gu Xiaoyue curled her lips into a smile. A Multiple Treasure Berry Tree! The system was truly too considerate!

The qibao berry that Shui Lingyu gave her a few days ago was produced by the Multiple Treasure Berry Tree. This tree only grows one fruit at a time. After the fruit matures, it changes from one treasure to ten treasures. On the purple fruit, there is a bump; that is a one-treasure berry, and it increases from there, up to a ten treasure berry.

Once it reaches a ten treasure berry, it will fall to the ground, and then the Multiple Treasure Berry Tree will bloom and bear fruit again. Others only have the effect of increasing the intelligence of pet beasts. Only the qibao berry can transform a mature eleventh-rank pet beast into a Lord-level one. Only pet beasts that have reached the Lord-level have a chance to advance to the Monarch-level.

Gu Xiaoyue remembered what Shui Lingyu had said about the power of monopoly. Perhaps Shui Lingyu's family either raised a Multiple Treasure Berry Tree themselves or they had bought up all the qibao berries on the market!

If the system hadn't rewarded her with a Multiple Treasure Berry Tree, Gu Xiaoyue didn't know how long it would take to gather twelve qibao berries!

She planted the Multiple Treasure Berry Tree next to the Soul Exchange Fruit tree. The originally empty little tree visibly bloomed with a purple flower.

She hadn't looked at the system store yet, so Gu Xiaoyue opened the quasi-legendary level store. hun yuan pearl (can specify a mastery-level skill to be upgraded to perfect level)—3500 points.

Gu Xiaoyue's eyes lit up. This hun yuan pearl was too awesome! Although it was a bit expensive, one had to know that for Gu Xiaoyue's high-level pet beasts, she didn't know how long it would take to train a skill from mastery to perfection!

She currently had 11,000 points. She immediately exchanged for 3 hun yuan pearls.

She gave one to Xiao Qi to eat and specified that Xiao Qi's Thunderbolt Spell be upgraded. Xiao Qi's body flashed with purple light. Xiao Qi frowned and returned to his compartment to meditate.

Gu Xiaoyue gave another one to Qingqing and specified that the summoning skill be upgraded. Qingqing's body flashed with ice-blue light, and she also returned to her compartment.

Qingqing and Xiaoxiong had long since reached the mature sixth rank, and she hadn't been in a hurry to change their forms. Qingqing's body was almost filling up the compartment. I'll save up points and exchange them for shaping flowers, Gu Xiaoyue thought.

She listed two more Soul Exchange Fruits for sale before leisurely heading to the first-floor lobby to find Chu Li and the others.

"Xiao Yue, why did it take so long! Let's go have a big meal! Today is a good day; we all passed our assessments!" Ye Wanrou crossed her arms and looked at Gu Xiaoyue with starry eyes. Smacking her lips, she was already starting to consider what to eat later.

Gu Xiaoyue smiled and agreed, "Alright, let's listen to our Miss Ye and have a big meal!"

On the way to dinner, Ye Wanrou and Chen Yixuan walked in front, while Gu Xiaoyue and Chu Li followed behind.

"Chu Li, here for you." Gu Xiaoyue took the hun yuan pearl out of her Yu Beast Space and handed it to Chu Li. Chu Li took it and looked at it, not recognizing it. "What is this?"

"Give it to the Fire Phoenix to eat, and remember to choose the summoning skill."

Although Chu Li was a bit puzzled, he did not hesitate. He stopped, put the hun yuan pearl into his Yu Beast Space, fed it directly to the Fire Phoenix, and chose the summoning skill.

The Fire Phoenix's body flashed with fiery red light for a while, then it lay down on the ground. He knew that Gu Xiaoyue wouldn't harm him, he just didn't understand what kind of material this was.

"The Fire Phoenix has already begun to absorb the energy. Xiao Yue, what exactly is this?"

"This material is quite amazing; it can upgrade a specified mastery-level skill to the perfect level!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Li's excitement was evident. "Then once the energy absorption is finished, the Fire Phoenix's summoning skill will be perfect? Did Qingqing eat one?"

Gu Xiaoyue looked somewhat smug, "Of course she did! When there are good things, I naturally have to prioritize my own pet beasts first!"

Although Gu Xiaoyue said that, Chu Li knew that she couldn't have many of such high-quality heavenly treasures. She prioritized the Qingluan Fire Phoenix, meaning he was still very important in her heart.

"Xiao Yue, what are you doing? Hurry up!" Ye Wanrou had already walked quite far and turned back to call them. Gu Xiaoyue and Chu Li looked at each other and smiled, then hurried to catch up.

After dinner, the night grew deeper. Ye Wanrou was happy from eating and skipped along in front. Gu Xiaoyue was still behind, following her with a smile. Suddenly, her smile vanished, and she called out to stop Ye Wanrou and Chen Yixuan.

"Chu Li, take Ye Wanrou and Yixuan and leave first!"
