Wu Mingxu was taken aback by the two questions Lu Yuan suddenly raised.

He subconsciously frowned and looked at Lu Yuan with impatience.

However.

When he met Lu Yuan's clear and sharp eyes, he inexplicably swallowed back the sarcastic words that were on the tip of his tongue and put on a serious expression.

"No matter what talent I awaken, I have only one goal: to become stronger!"

"Although my time-based talent is a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment, I am confident that I can defuse it and turn it into my weapon!"

Wu Mingxu spoke with absolute certainty, his expression brimming with confidence.

He didn't know why his father would tell others about his time-related talent, nor did he know why this boy, who was about his age, would ask such a question. He was simply stating his long-held thoughts and aspirations, nothing more.

Wu Qiushan, standing beside him, looked at his son with a mixture of relief and surprise.

He knew that Wu Mingxu had been persisting in his cultivation. Although the speed and efficiency of his cultivation would be greatly reduced without contracting a beast, Wu Mingxu still did not give up.

But he did not expect that Wu Mingxu's idea was so firm, and full of confidence and hope.

This only made him feel even more guilty.

"It's all because of your incompetent father! Otherwise, you wouldn't have wasted a whole year and couldn't even contract a beast!"

Wu Qiushan sighed heavily and turned to look at Lu Yuan.

"Mr. Lu, does the Divine Beast Pavilion really have time-type pet cubs? I'm willing to pay any price!"

"A time-manipulating pet cub?!"

Wu Mingxu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

His gaze darted back and forth between Wu Qiushan and Lu Yuan, and he suddenly realized why his father was behaving so strangely. He couldn't help but look at Lu Yuan with hopeful eyes.

Lu Yuan tapped his index finger lightly on the table, looking at the father and son with a smile in his eyes.

"I did indeed raise a pet cub with time-related talents a couple of days ago."

Upon hearing this, both Wu Qiushan and his son's eyes lit up.

"That……"

Lu Yuan waved his hand, interrupting Wu Qiushan.

“I can give you the cubs.”

"deliver?"

Wu Qiushan keenly sensed the problem in Lu Yuan's words and subconsciously frowned and asked in return.

“That’s right, it’s a gift.” Lu Yuan nodded.

"Mr. Lu, please state your conditions directly."

As someone who has been immersed in the business world for many years, Wu Qiushan naturally knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch. Since Lu Yuan said he would give the cubs to them, there must be conditions.

Lu Yuan smiled slightly and, without beating around the bush, stated his request directly.

"I hope Wu Mingxu will consider joining my organization."

Wu Mingxu looked dazed.

What is meant by his power organization?

Isn't this guy just a pet shop owner?

Wu Qiushan, sitting next to him, had a very serious expression.

He had previously guessed that Lu Yuan must have other powerful forces supporting him, otherwise how could Lu Yuan possibly produce cultivation techniques and spiritual weapons one after another on his own?

"May I ask what Mr. Lu's organization is called?" Wu Qiushan asked tentatively.

“The Divine Pavilion,” Lu Yuan said calmly.

"The Divine Pavilion?"

Wu Qiushan muttered to himself repeatedly, his brows furrowing involuntarily.

What kind of power is the Divine Pavilion?

How come he's never heard of this name before?

Lu Yuan didn't explain in detail, but just let the two of them think about it themselves.

The Divine Pavilion was his last trump card. Although he wanted to recruit Wu Mingxu, he would not directly reveal his identity as the Pavilion Master.

Wu Qiushan and Wu Mingxu exchanged a glance, both with hesitation in their eyes.

It wasn't until much later that Wu Mingxu finally nodded, making up his mind.

"I'm willing to join."

"Mingxu?!"

Wu Qiushan called out instinctively.

"Dad, I've had enough of living like this, where I can't even form contracts with beasts! Instead of continuing to hide, I should take a gamble. I'm sure I can grow up quickly!"

Looking directly into Wu Mingxu's determined gaze, Wu Qiushan swallowed back the words of persuasion that were already on the tip of his tongue.

"Since you have so much confidence in yourself, then Dad will believe in you!"

The father and son exchanged a glance, then turned to look at Lu Yuan.

"Mr. Lu, I am willing to join the Divine Pavilion and will obey your orders from now on!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan looked directly at Wu Mingxu.

Only when Wu Mingxu felt a slight sense of dread did he raise his eyebrows and chuckle.

"welcome."

Lu Yuan extended a hand to Wu Mingxu.

Wu Mingxu was slightly taken aback at first, then quickly reached out and shook hands.

"Mr. Lu, it was a cub at that time..."

"Please sit and wait a moment."

Lu Yuan waved his hand, got up and left the reception room.

As I passed by the front hall, I saw Mu Ruxing guarding the shop.

"Young Master Lu, news has come back from over there."

"Okay, I'll talk to you after I finish this."

Lu Yuan responded to him, then turned and walked into the backyard.

A few minutes later, Lu Yuan returned to the reception room, still holding a pet cub in his arms.

Wu Qiushan and Wu Mingxu had been waiting anxiously for a long time and quickly surrounded them.

"Mr. Lu, this is... a Red Spirit Bird?"

Wu Mingxu's face was filled with disbelief.

If he remembered correctly, the Crimson Spirit Bird should be of high quality, and its innate attribute is fire, which has nothing to do with time!

Wu Qiushan, who attended both auctions, was not surprised at all.

None of the pet cubs raised by Lu Yuan are normal!

really.

As he was thinking, he heard Lu Yuan speak softly.

"Don't underestimate this red spirit bird; it carries the bloodline of the divine beast Yuan!"

"Yuan?"

Wu Mingxu murmured the same phrase over and over again, pondering it in his mind for a long time, confirming that he had never heard of a mythical beast named Yuan.

He subconsciously glanced at his father beside him, only to find Wu Qiushan looking completely calm.

"Mr. Lu, is the potential and bloodline of this Crimson Spirit Bird also at the Heavenly Evolution level?"

“No, this Crimson Spirit Bird’s potential and bloodline level are only Earth Spirit level.” Lu Yuan shook his head. “It would be clearer if I just showed you the data.”

As he spoke.

He put the red-billed bird into the detector.

In a short while, the specific data results were displayed on the screen.

[Race: Red Spirit Bird]

[Attribute: Time-based]

[Level: Tier 1]

[Potential: Tier 2 Earth Spirit]

[Bloodline: Earth Spirit Tier 3 (Divine Beast Yuan, one ten-thousandth of its bloodline)]

[Talent: Time and Space]

[Skills: Acceleration, Stasis, Reversal]

[Status: Childhood, very healthy]

Looking at the data on the screen, Wu Mingxu's eyes widened in surprise.

"Is that really a Fire Spirit Bird?!"

"Earth Spirit level potential and bloodline, even the Fire Spirit Bird King can't reach that level, right?!"

Compared to Wu Mingxu's shock, Wu Qiushan took out his phone.

"Time and Space... it's actually a Supreme-level talent?!"
