Lu Yuan was overjoyed.

With the Ancient Tree buff boosting his cultivation speed, he can grow even faster.

They have a better chance of winning the family competition two months later.

"Little Yi, let me check your cultivation results."

Lu Yuan held Xiao Yi in his arms, brought up the system interface, and began scanning.

[Race: Nature Elf]

[Attribute: Light]

[Level: 9]

[Potential: Seventh Rank of Profound Truth]

[Bloodline: Profound True Ninth Rank (Seraphim, Bloodline Concentration 1%)]

[Talent: Wings of New Life]

[Skills: Holy Light Cross, Hymn of Courage, Divine Protection Array, Holy Light Guardian]

[Status: Childhood, very healthy]

[Flaw: Born without wings, repair progress 9%]

As the level increases, the repair progress of Xiao Yi's wings also increases by 2%, but it is still far from being fully repaired.

Most importantly...

"I leveled up five levels in just a few hours, but yesterday a whole day has passed and I've only leveled up four times?"

Lu Yuan muttered to himself.

"Eee!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi began to gesture enthusiastically in front of him.

"You mean there's a limit to the amount of food you can absorb each day?"

Lu Yuan tried to understand.

"babble!"

Xiao Yi nodded emphatically.

She indicated that she had tried her best to eat more and hadn't slacked off at all.

But the more you eat, the less energy you absorb from food.

Lu Yuan understood as well.

That makes sense when you think about it.

If the more food a creature eats, the faster it levels up, and there's no limit, then with enough money, wouldn't it be possible to create a high-level mythical beast in no time?

That's way too much!

The system will definitely not allow this to happen, so it has set a daily limit on the amount of spiritual energy that can be absorbed.

That makes sense.

But if there's no way to increase Xiao Yi's growth rate through food, then he'll have to think of other ways.

Lu Yuan opened the system store and flipped through the pages one by one.

They eventually focused their attention on a product called "Crystal Energy Stone".

【Crystal Energy Stone: Contains a large amount of spiritual energy, which can help beast tamers and their beasts improve their cultivation levels.】

To put it simply, it's like a stone that provides experience or healing.

Feeding your pets will increase their level.

Similarly, the beast tamer can also increase their beast taming level after absorbing it.

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up immediately.

But when he looked at the system's price, he was completely taken aback.

"A lowest-grade crystal stone is selling for 10 Mythical Points?!"

The lowest grade of crystal energy stone can only add a small amount of power, but when converted into Blue Star Coins, it is equivalent to 1 million.

This pricing is even more outrageous than his!

However, he desperately needs to upgrade Xiao Yi's level right now, and since he just made a small profit today, why not buy one to test the waters?

Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment.

He needed to keep some money in reserve for business dealings with the Zhao family; he couldn't spend it all.

Let's buy the lowest grade one to try it out first.

After spending 1 million Blue Star Coins to exchange for a lowest-grade Crystal Energy Stone, he handed it over to Xiao Yi.

"Little Yi, eat this."

Xiao Yi looked at the dark stone with great curiosity. After carefully sensing it, she was surprised to find a large amount of spiritual energy inside.

He was immediately delighted and popped it into his mouth.

After crunching a few times, a faint light emanated from its body.

Xiao Yi closed her eyes, looking very content.

Lu Yuan observed carefully from the side.

The light gradually faded away half a minute later.

"Has it all been absorbed?"

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow and scanned Xiao Yi's data again.

[Race: Nature Elf]

[Attribute: Light]

[Level: 10]

[Potential: Seventh Rank of Profound Truth]

[Bloodline: Profound True Ninth Rank (Seraphim, Bloodline Concentration 1%)]

[Talent: Wings of New Life]

[Skills: Holy Light Cross, Hymn of Courage, Divine Protection Array, Holy Light Guardian]

[Status: Childhood, very healthy]

[Defect: Born without wings, repair progress 10%]

"They actually leveled up directly?"

Lu Yuan was somewhat surprised.

On second thought, the effect might be due to Xiao Yi's current low level.

The further you progress, the more spiritual energy you need to upgrade, and the more difficult it becomes.

There's no rush to level up.

After figuring it out, Lu Yuan also sat cross-legged under the ancient tree.

After awakening his beast-taming talent, he has not yet engaged in meditation training, and his level has remained at level 1.

This level of skill is not suitable for participating in the clan competition.

If the beast tamer's level is much higher than the beast master's, it is easy for the beast to become difficult to control.

He also needs to hurry up and level up his Beastmaster rank.

The ancient tree happens to have a buff, so we can't waste it!

Xiao Yi sat next to Lu Yuan, absorbing the spiritual energy emitted by the ancient tree while also digesting the energy from the food she had eaten earlier.

The spiritual power within both the human and the beast was continuously increasing.

A whole night has passed.

Lu Yuan woke up in the Beast Taming Space.

"My Beastmaster level has actually reached the seventh rank?!"

For an ordinary first-tier beast tamer, breaking through to the second tier is a hurdle, requiring at least a month, since it's their first time cultivating.

He actually crossed that threshold directly, advancing seven levels in one go!

"Is this the SSS-level Beast Taming rank under the buff of the ancient tree? The speed of its cultivation and growth is simply astonishing!"

Lu Yuan was pleasantly surprised to feel the spiritual energy within his body.

They could even clearly perceive changes in the flowers and grass around them.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Lu Yuan frowned.

Has the white mist in the space dissipated somewhat?

He looked up and around.

Sure enough, the white mist that had been covering the surrounding area receded considerably.

The usable area in the Beast Taming Space was originally only 100 square meters, but now it has expanded to 700 square meters!

"It seems that this white mist will gradually dissipate as my level increases, thereby increasing the usable area of ​​the beast-taming space."

After a little thought, Lu Yuan understood the reason.

I was overjoyed.

With a normal S-rank Beast Taming talent, the Beast Taming Space will expand by 10 square meters for each level the Beast Tamer gains.

With each level he gains, his beast-taming space expands by 100 square meters.

It's ten times the S-rank Beast Taming talent!

"As my Beast Taming level increases, I'll have more room to cultivate other Beast Taming beasts!"

His beast-taming talent is that all beasts submit to him, and he can contract multiple beasts at the same time.

Xiao Yi was his first tamed beast, but it wouldn't be his only one.

Lu Yuan suddenly remembered the moon rabbit he had sold to Loris.

He also wanted to possess a beast with the bloodline of Taiyin Youying or Taiyang Zhuzhao.

After all, it's the progenitor of divine beasts; only a fool wouldn't want it!

He looked down on those of lower rank, and found it extremely difficult to encounter those of higher rank.

We can only try it slowly over time.

"well!"

"As a lowly unlucky person, I really want to experience what it's like to be a lucky person!"
