"Are you sure he's not joking or lying to you?" Even though he was a middle school student, he still had some basic knowledge.
Huo Xiaotian and Zou Tang nodded together: "Definitely not!"
Huo Batian:.
very good.
His belated lifelong enemy appeared!
Zou Tang had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter, and he spoke to himself as if he was talking: "...How on earth did he do that?"
"You cultivated a supernatural being with such talent to the current level?"
"Let's put it another way. In seven months, a supernatural being that was originally only at the intermediate level of the second level was cultivated to the intermediate level of the fourth level?"
The speed of his growth was like riding a rocket! Not to mention the changes in other aspects... Zou Tang even began to doubt his own ambitions and goals.
She thinks she is the best among the new generation of educators.
Even though there are always people comparing her with Mr. Zou back then, or mocking her for taking advantage of Mr. Zou, Zou Tang never cares. She is herself, not a substitute for anyone, nor a vine clinging to a big tree.
What she lacks is time and experience. One day, she will eventually stand on that peak and surpass that peak.
Then……
The heart that was not broken by other people's cold words and sarcasm was easily broken by Qiao Bai.
Zou Tang: “…”
Quiet.
She really needs some quiet time now.
Fortunately, Zou Tang has never been a fragile person, otherwise she would not have been able to persist until today amid so much gossip.
After a lot of repeated psychological preparation and adjustment, Zou Tang finally calmed down.
"I... am not strong enough." Zou Tang clenched his fists with a firm look in his eyes: "I will become even stronger!"
Don't be satisfied with your current achievements! You must work harder to become a better trainer!
We can't let ourselves be surpassed by an irrelevant outsider like Qiao Bai!
Zou Tang, who doesn't like to dwell on trivial matters, is full of energy after figuring it out. He can't wait to go back to his room and study the internal information of the trainers carefully so that he can become more fulfilled.
Then she heard a deep voice from the side.
"Heh... Is this the destined opponent I've been waiting for? Interesting." Huo Batian folded his arms, with a serious expression and firm eyes.
Huo Xiaotian and Zou Tang, who instantly understood Huo Batian's train of thought, were silent for three seconds.
Immediately following.
"Uncle Huo, calm down. Qiao Bai is not yet an adult this year. He is about the same age as your son. Don't you think the generation gap between you two is a bit too big?"
"Dad! Don't get mad! Most importantly, don't get mad in front of Qiao Bai! I can't afford to lose face as your son!"
The two complained in unison.
Huo Batian seemed not to hear anything, his eyes were still exceptionally firm.
Huo Xiaotian and Zou Tang looked at each other.
...I just hope his dad/Uncle Huo won't do anything weird.
Fortunately, this gathering will only last for tomorrow.
If we control it a little bit... there shouldn't be any big problems, right? Huo Xiaotian and Zou Tang thought uncertainly.
…
When Zhou Xinran returned to the suite, she only saw Qiao Bai and Xiao Wu sitting there eating and drinking.
"Did you trick that person away?" Zhou Xinran said with a smile.
Qiao Bai: "What nonsense! Isn't it normal for the two of them to leave after chatting for a while?"
"So have you guys agreed on how to form a team tomorrow?" Zhou Xinran sat down on the chair opposite Qiao Bai, picked up the teapot on the table and poured herself a cup of hot tea. After taking a sip, she revealed an expression that was hard to describe.
Putting down the cup, Zhou Xinran said with a look of disdain: "This good tea is simply wasted by you brewing it like this."
Qiao Bai shrugged.
He doesn't know how to make tea.
It was just a quick brew, as long as it was drinkable. Qiao Bai put it down after only a few sips because it was too bitter.
But... "What team are you talking about?" Qiao Bai asked puzzled.
Zhou Xinran: “?”
Zhou Xinran's eyes were filled with doubt: "Aren't they here to team up with you to participate in tomorrow's newcomer event?"
"These are some small interest-based activities between provinces in South China. They involve pet evolution performances, pet breeding and skill development, and other professional knowledge points. There may also be pet battles."
"You can participate alone or in a team of two or three. The questions in the latter are more difficult and cover a wider range of knowledge than the former. The top three players will receive a very generous resource reward for newcomers."
"But the purpose is to show off their own talents to other provinces. These rewards are also jointly offered by the Beast Taming Alliance and Breeder Association of each province."
Hearing this, Qiao Bai nodded.
Understand.
A competition among new members of each sect.
To make an analogy, this is roughly what it means. It doesn't sound very fun.
Zhou Xinran was not surprised at all when she saw Qiao Bai's lack of interest: "There's still some time before dinner. Shall I take you to see that senior?"
Qiao Bai was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately.
"Go!" Qiao Bai stood up suddenly, and the little crow that was jumping on the table was startled.
Xiao Wu: Condemning eyes.jpg Qiao Bai smiled and reached out to rub the hair on Xiao Wu's head: "Wait for me here for a while, I'll go change clothes and come out right away."
There was heating in the house, but Qiao Bai was always wearing thin clothes.
But when going out, I don't say you have to dress too formally, but at least you can't be too casual.
With that, Qiao Bai turned around and went back to the room, leaving Zhou Xinran and Xiao Wu alone, one with the bird, looking at each other.
Xiao Wu tilted his head and stared at Zhou Xinran with his watery black eyes.
Zhou Xinran looked at the silly hair on Xiaowu's head that swayed left and right from time to time with its movements. Thinking of Qiao Bai's previous actions, she couldn't help but feel itchy and wanted to touch it.
The little bird, who was used to being touched by Qiao Bai, immediately noticed Zhou Xinran's intention. It flapped its wings and kept a distance of two meters from Zhou Xinran.
Xiao Wu: “!”
Don't come over here!
The bird is not just any bird! Zhou Xinran withdrew her hand in dismay: "What an unlovable little bird."
Xiaowu: ╭(╯^╰)╮
The animal tamer obviously thinks birds are super cute!
Not cute? Nonsense!
As Qiao Bai walked into the main hall after changing his clothes and coming out of the room, he saw Xiaowu flapping his wings and sticking to him like a facehugger.
Qiao Bai: “?”
While reaching out to pull the little crow that was clinging to his face off, he asked in confusion, "What's going on?"
However, neither Xiao Wu nor Zhou Xinran intended to answer Qiao Bai's question.
"Let's go. I've already sent him a message. We can just go there directly." Zhou Xinran stood up first and changed the subject.
Qiao Bai didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Moreover, he really wanted to have a good chat with the senior who had helped his pet cultivate the spirit fire.
First, he took Xiao Wu back to the beast control space, and Qiao Bai followed Zhou Xin and walked...
After a lot of twists and turns, he brought Qiao Bai to a house with a wintersweet tree in a small courtyard.
A middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties, with a well-proportioned and strong build and a kind face heard their footsteps and walked out of the house.
When he saw Zhou Xinran, the smile on his face instantly became brighter.
"Professor Zhou, you are my distinguished guest." The middle-aged man greeted Zhou Xinran enthusiastically. At the same time, he did not ignore Qiao Bai who came with Zhou Xinran: "You are the most famous little genius in NY City this year, right?"
"It's true that every generation has its own talents. After hearing about your deeds and achievements, I can't help but admit that I'm getting old."
"Vice President Cen, you're too polite." Zhou Xinran said with a faint smile, his attitude neither hot nor cold.
However, after spending more than half a year with Zhou Xinran, Qiao Bai still discovered that Zhou Xinran's attitude towards this person was... too distant and polite?
They don't look like particularly good friends.
But the man opposite seemed to have not noticed anything. Qiao Bai couldn't help but sigh in his heart... This relationship is a little subtle.
Qiao Bai also recognized the identity of this middle-aged man.
Cen Yuanjin, vice president of the Toshiba Province Cultivation Society Association.
He had seen her in the lobby on the day he went to the meeting, and Zhou Xinran had shared with him a lot of interesting gossip about Vice President Cen.
For example, Vice President Cen looks gentle and elegant on the surface, showing the attitude of a big boss, but in private... he is a fan of felt handicrafts, and the felt products he makes are quite exquisite. Each one of them can become a treasure in the circle.
Qiao Bai: 6 Ahem.
Because of this hobby, after recognizing Vice President Cen, Qiao Bai would unconsciously have a furry ocean in his mind as soon as he saw him.
As you walk into the room, you feel warmth.
As soon as Qiao Bai and Zhou Xinran sat down, Vice President Cen poured them each a glass of sweet iced nectar water: "The heating in the house is hot, drink something cool and sweet to cool down."
"You're talking too much nonsense." Zhou Xinran took the nectar water without hesitation, took a sip and put it down. Her expression was even more disgusted than drinking the tea spoiled by Qiao Bai: "You know why I came to you. I told you before."
Cen Yuanjin nodded, and shifted his gaze from Zhou Xinran to Qiao Bai who was standing beside him: "Qiao Bai, can you let me see your pet?"
Faced with Cen Yuanjin's request, Qiao Bai did not refuse.
After releasing the little crow, it would usually fly to the top of Qiao Bai's head and sit on Qiao Bai's hair.
But this time it was different. The little crow subconsciously wanted to fly towards Qiao Baitou, but at the same time, it looked at Cen Yuanjin from time to time and flapped its wings. The little crow kept circling in the air, and there was a very obvious hesitation in its pair of big eyes.
Qiao Bai was somewhat puzzled and curious when he saw this.
What happened? You know, before this, Xiao Wu had never expressed any affection towards another person.
"This is a Chinese bird, right?" The knowledgeable Cen Yuanjin naturally recognized Xiao Wu's true identity at a glance, and looked at Xiao Wu with a bit of surprise in his eyes: "You have nurtured this Chinese bird... very well."
Cen Yuanjin said with a sincere sigh.
Being able to become the vice president of the Breeders Association, Cen Yuanjin may not be the best at breeding extraordinary creatures, but this does not mean that Cen Yuanjin cannot see the breeding level of others.
Just by looking at Xiao Wu's appearance, the experienced Cen Yuanjin can analyze a lot of information that Zou Tang can only see using his innate skills.
"The body has shrunk in size and cannot make a sound. These are all manifestations of a terrible mutation." Cen Yuanjin took a sip of the sweet nectar water. At first glance, the action looked like he was drinking some kind of fairy tea.
Then he continued, "But this Chinese bird's hair is particularly shiny, its spirit is very abundant, its wings are very powerful, and its eyes are sensitive, which shows that it is quite intelligent. These are the spirits that can only be acquired through good training."
"As for whether it will have a good impression of me..." Cen Yuanjin smiled when he said this.
"That's because I'm a beastmaster who specializes in fire-attributed supernatural creatures. The four supernatural creatures I currently have all have a single fire attribute. I have cultivated the fire attribute to the extreme."
Hearing this, both Qiao Bai and Xiao Wu opened their eyes wide in shock.
Huh? A beastmaster who specializes in a single attribute? Qiao Bai had heard of such a beastmaster before, but this was the first time he had seen one.
There are not only a large number of beastmasters who specialize in a certain direction or a certain type of extraordinary creatures, but also a considerable number.
Contracting a supernatural creature with a single attribute allows the beastmaster to arrange the training method more reasonably. In the process of coming into contact with the supernatural creature of the same attribute again and again, the beastmaster will become more and more familiar with the promotion rules and training methods of this supernatural creature of this attribute.
If you contract with a certain type of supernatural creature, such as cat-like supernatural creatures, bird-like supernatural creatures, dog-like supernatural creatures...their characteristics are similar to a certain extent, and the beastmaster will have more and more tacit understanding with these supernatural creatures, and the running-in period will be shorter.
These are the advantages.
The disadvantage is... not all beastmasters can dig deep into individuals of the same kind. They may get stuck at a certain stage due to their own abilities, and the level of their pets will also be stuck at a certain stage.
Not as flexible as a Beastmaster with a wide variety of attributes.
But to Qiao Bai, these are nothing.
Whether a beastmaster's strength can improve depends not only on the upper limit of extraordinary creatures, but more on the upper limit of the beastmaster himself. If the beastmaster is not capable, no matter how strong the potential of the pet is, it cannot be truly brought into play.
Therefore, Qiao Bai never thought of sticking to taming a certain type of supernatural creature.
Let it be, let it be.
Cen Yuanjin dared to say that he had cultivated the fire-attributed extraordinary creature to the extreme...Qiao Bai believed that he really had the confidence.
Seeing that Qiao Bai's eyes and eyebrows revealed no doubt, but believed him as a matter of course, Cen Yuanjin's smile became brighter: "Young people are really good."
If I say this to the trainers in the association, people who are not familiar with them will more or less show some doubt and disbelief. I can't say that they are wrong, but it is really annoying.
"Your Hua bird is learning fire-attributed skills. It has a good impression of me because it senses the strong fire-attributed aura on me." Cen Yuanjin's attitude became a little better. As he spoke, he paused, and a look of confusion revealed.
"kindness?"
Zhou Xinran glanced at him and said, "Why don't you continue talking? Is there something wrong?"
"It seems... there is indeed something wrong." Cen Yuanjin put down the cup in his hand, looked at Hua Niao, then looked at Qiao Bai, and said with uncertainty in his tone.
"If I remember correctly, Hua Niao doesn't have fire attributes, right?"
Qiao Bai nodded: "Special attribute plus flying attribute."
"Generally speaking, only extraordinary creatures with fire attributes can sense the fire aura on me, and therefore develop an extraordinary fondness for me."
Xiaowu is not a supernatural creature with fire attribute, but this situation also occurred... Cen Yuanjin kept saying "Impossible, impossible... There must be something wrong."
Qiao Bai touched his nose.
Zhou Xinran also looked at Qiao Bai with a meaningful look.
They all remembered... a topic they had discussed before.
Is it possible for extraordinary creatures to possess a third attribute after evolution?
"Don't worry about it for now. Tell my student how you made your pet cultivate the fire of essence." Zhou Xinran interrupted Cen Yuanjin's mumbling without mercy.
It is impossible to explain to Cen Yuanjin.
After all, this was Qiao Bai's discovery.
Maybe it will be Qiao Bai’s new research result in the future.
It's okay to tell her about this teacher, why tell Cen Yuanjin? "Okay." Cen Yuanjin still frowned, as if he couldn't figure this out, but as agreed before, Cen Yuanjin looked at Xiaowu who was already nestling in Qiao Bai's hair with curious eyes, and told her his own experience.
"First of all, many beastmasters who have extraordinary creatures with fire attributes and want their pets to cultivate fire essence will fall into the same misunderstanding, which is - cultivating fire essence depends on the pet's own comprehension and understanding of the fire attribute."
"Eh?" Qiao Bai was confused by Cen Yuanjin right from the start. His eyes were filled with doubt: "Isn't that so?"
What needs to be admitted is.
Qiao Bai is also one of those who have this idea.
"No, no, no, of course not." Cen Yuanjin shook his head: "In fact, many extraordinary creatures have a very deep understanding of the fire attribute, but they still cannot cultivate the essence of fire. Why is that?"
Cen Yuanjin seemed to have said nothing.
Qiao Bai seemed to have touched something vaguely: "...Beast Tamer?"
"A beastmaster...must reach a certain level of comprehension and understanding of the fire attribute at the same time as his pet?"
"Bingo!" Cen Yuanjin's eyes suddenly lit up.
He looked at Qiao Bai carefully from head to toe with admiration: "I like students like you who are insightful!"
When he thought of the new trainers under him, who almost broke down the knowledge points into pieces and fed them to them, but still couldn't learn them in the end, Cen Yuanjin couldn't be more satisfied with Qiao Bai.
How long has it been since I met such a student who understood everything so quickly! Zou Tang could be considered the most outstanding new trainer in the Toshiba Province Trainer Association in recent years, but his keen sense of knowledge was not as good as Qiao Bai's.
Think of this.
Cen Yuanjin quietly glanced at Zhou Xinran who was sitting next to him... Well, what a pity.
They already have a teacher.
The universities have been selected.
It's impossible for him to poach her.
...Although as long as the hoe is used well, there is no corner in this world that cannot be dug.
However, Cen Yuanjin dared to say that if he dared to wave the hoe at Qiao Bai, Zhou Xinran would turn him into a pile of fertilizer in the corner.
Forget it.
It's a good seedling, but unfortunately it comes from someone else's field.
Cen Yuanjin continued, "Yes, it is the cooperation between the beastmaster and the pet."
"The cooperation between the beastmaster and the pet is not only reflected in the battle, but also involves much more!"
"Mutual achievement, mutual influence, and common progress, this is the truly healthy relationship between a beastmaster and his pet!"
Cen Yuanjin became more and more excited as he spoke.
"I'll show you a great treasure." Cen Yuanjin blinked at Qiao Bai, approached Qiao Bai, and said in a mysterious manner.
Good seedlings can't be dug away, but that doesn't mean he can't show off in front of them! Who knows, maybe one day the good seedlings will get upset and jump into his field?
The next second...
On the tip of his finger, a tiny flame appeared. It was so weak that it seemed like it could go out at any time, but it was actually there! Qiao Bai: “!”
This… this is…? !
Qiao Bai's eyes widened.
He confirmed again and again that this was not a magic trick, a small cluster of flames really appeared out of thin air on Cen Yuanjin's fingers!
Can humans also possess such power directly without controlling extraordinary creatures? "Xiu Xiu Xiu, you only show off this skill when you see a good seedling selected by your heart." While Qiao Bai was shocked, Zhou Xinran rolled his eyes almost to the sky: "Why don't you tell me, you little flame, no matter how much you practice, you can only be as powerful as a little smoke?"
"Um... this one... hahaha!"
Cen Yuanjin, who was just showing off, immediately showed a sullen expression on his face when he heard Zhou Xinran's words: "There is no need to talk about such things..."
As he spoke, Cen Yuanjin's voice became smaller and smaller under Qiao Bai's condemning gaze.
The smile shifted smoothly from Cen Yuanjin's face to Zhou Xinran's face.
"He is indeed good at helping pets cultivate their spirit fire, but you should just listen to his other words." Zhou Xinran looked at Qiao Bai again, as if she was afraid that Qiao Bai would really be abducted by accident, so she took the initiative to explain to Qiao Bai.
"For a beastmaster who has cultivated to the extreme in a single attribute, there will indeed be a slight change in the situation where he can only control the beast control space in the spiritual sea."
"This is because the beastmaster and the extraordinary creatures of a single attribute have achieved true unity of body and mind. However, this is the best they can do. There is no more."
Qiao Bai: "...a bit tasteless."
Cen Yuanjin felt that his heart was broken by Qiao Bai's words, but... it was hard to refute.
After talking for a few more sentences, Qiao Bai was already absent-minded, his mind full of how to cultivate the essence of fire.
Seeing this.
Zhou Xinran expressed his intention to leave at the right time, and Cen Yuanjin politely saw him off.
On the way back, Qiao Bai did not take Xiao Wu back into the beast-controlling space this time.
Frequently taking Xiao Wu back to the spiritual sea beast-controlling space is not a good thing for Xiao Wu and Qiao Bai. Sometimes it is good to get used to the cold air outside.
Qiao Bai grabbed the little bird from his head, held it in his palm, and gently stroked its fur with his fingers.
Xiao Wu, who originally wanted to resist a few times, was instantly collapsed in Qiao Bai's palm.
Touch, touch, touch!
After touching here, touch here again!
So comfortable! =v= Xiao Wu squinted his eyes happily.
While Qiao Bai was stroking Xiao Wu's fur, he was thinking... Should he strike while the iron is hot and try to cultivate the spirit fire with Xiao Wu? Just do it.
Qiao Bai doesn't have procrastination.
After saying hello to Zhou Xinran, Qiao Bai returned to the room.
"Twin Fire Condensing Grass... Fortunately, I brought this with me." Qiao Bai picked up the Twin Fire Condensing Grass that he had always carried with him from the corner of the table.
This was what Qiao Bai brought out from the Geological and Mining Department.
Because he had never found a suitable opportunity to use it, Qiao Bai had always kept this twin fire grass with him.
It's not that I'm afraid that the precious Twin Fire Grass will be stolen.
Instead, I thought that Xiao Wu might be useful someday, so I prepared it in advance to avoid not being able to find it when I need it and having to go back to the school dormitory for the trouble.
Today.
After listening to what Cen Yuanjin shared, Qiao Bai thought that today was the best time to put it into practice.
Especially when looking at this twin fire-condensing grass and thinking about what Cen Yuanjin said, Qiao Bai had a bold idea in his mind - after eating the fire-condensing grass, it could help Xiao Wuyou to condense the essence of fire, so what if he also ate it?
The more I think about it, the harder it is to let it go.
certainly.
Qiao Bai is not a foolish person.
After confirming that humans taking high-grade herbs such as Fire Condensation Grass would not cause harm to the body, and that a Fire Condensation Grass would generally be wasted, Qiao Bai made a decisive decision -
He ate half of this twin fire condensing grass, Xiao Wu ate half, and then they started practicing together! They did it right away.
The preparation of fire-condensing grass is very simple.
After picking it, use fire attribute skills to repeatedly bake it until the color of the fire grass becomes bright and juicy, as if it is a solid flame that will burn at any time, and then take it in one gulp.
Xiao Wu had no idea about eating a ball of "flame".
On the contrary, Qiao Bai, after making sufficient mental preparations, whispered: "I have given it my all..."
If Xiao Wu can't cultivate the essence of fire... then I'll consider it a sacrifice for science!
With his eyes closed, Qiao Bai swallowed the fire-condensing grass without even looking at it.
moment.
Qiao Bai felt as if there was a ball of fire burning from his throat to his stomach without stopping, and it was even getting more intense.
It doesn't hurt.
Not hot.
Not uncomfortable.
…but it just feels weird.
It seemed as if a ball of fire would burst out of his belly at any moment.
It was a feeling of... about to cultivate an inner elixir! Qiao Bai's expression was complex and varied.
Xiao Wu opened his round eyes and stared at Qiao Bai curiously.
(°°) Wow!
The beastmaster's expression looks so funny!
How amazing! Qiao Bai, who was stared at by Xiao Wu, said: "..."
Qiao Bai, who had originally closed his eyes, opened them a little, stretched out a finger and tapped Xiao Wu lightly on the head. It was not heavy at all, just a reminder for Xiao Wu.
"Don't stare at me, close your eyes and start feeling it, understand?" Qiao Bai said unhappily.
What kind of habit is this! It's a habit!
That being said, Qiao Bai still won't be able to help but continue to pamper Xiao Wu next time.
Not only Qiao Bai knew this, Xiao Wu also knew it very well.
So Xiao Wu happily closed his eyes obediently and began to try to enter a state of meditation with Qiao Bai.
Hmm...
It's a bit hot, but can I hold on a little longer? Qiao Bai and Xiao Wu both felt that after taking the fire-condensing grass, it was more difficult to enter a meditative state than usual.
Empty your mind... Empty your mind... I can't empty my mind at all! Who can relax their mind while having a hot, strong flame in their abdomen? After trying to enter a meditative state over and over again but failing many times, Qiao Bai and Xiao Wu opened their eyes, and the man and the bird looked at each other, and saw the same helplessness in each other's eyes.
"No, we can't just give up on Xiao Wu!" Qiao Bai took the lead to rally and encourage Xiao Wu: "Isn't it just to continue meditating with a fire in your belly? We can definitely do it, right!"
Qiao Bai looked at Xiao Wu with sparkling eyes.
Xiao Wu: “…”
I can't say no at all! (oo) Yes!
No problem! Both the beastmaster and the bird can definitely do it! After eating a few bites of food, Qiao Bai and Xiao Wu sat together again, trying to enter the state of cultivation.
…Take a deep breath…get rid of all distracting thoughts in your mind…try to focus on the feeling of the flames…ignore the burning sensation in your abdomen…
Fire attribute...
Burning fire...
Skills... Fireball... Fire Attack... Fire Dance...
Little by little, it became more concrete, until the end, it seemed that only the most primitive little flame was left in Qiao Bai's mind, swaying and burning in the darkness, with a weak yet vigorous vitality.
Qiao Bai tried to make a small flame grow stronger.
Tried to put in mental effort, no use.
Tried to let Xiaowu use fire attribute skills to ignite it, but it didn't work.
Finally...Qiao Bai tried to put his knowledge and understanding of the properties of fire into this small flame.
The flame grew a little bigger.
Qiao Bai was not ecstatic, but continued to work hard with Xiao Wu, slowly understanding and feeding this small cluster of flames.
Watch it grow from being so weak that it seemed like it would be extinguished by a gust of wind, to growing little by little as it was fed.
It turned into two small flames.
Become a solid flame.
Then it turned into a small fireball...
Qiao Bai and Xiao Wu were so absorbed in their work that they had completely ignored the passage of time. They felt neither tired nor hungry, and nothing outside could disturb them.
…
The last day of activities has also ended.
Everyone rested here for the last night, and some breeders or professors of pet evolution who were in a hurry to work on their projects flew back to their workplaces in the afternoon.
"Qiao Bai hasn't come out yet?" Zou Tang hadn't seen Qiao Bai for a whole day. After thinking about it, she took the initiative to ask Zhou Xinran. From Zhou Xinran, she learned that Qiao Bai had been practicing in the room since last night.
Zou Tang didn't want to disturb Qiao Bai, so he could only wait for Qiao Bai to wake up on his own.
No one expected this.
This wait lasted a whole day.
Tomorrow will be the eighth day of the excess.
"...What should we do? Should we wake him up?" Zou Tang said somewhat uneasily.
What kind of cultivation? I have been practicing for a whole day and night without going out!
Although they are beastmasters, they are also mortal beings!
You will be hungry and have basic physiological needs!
It's not like he's going to practice Taoism! Zhou Xinran also frowned slightly: "It doesn't matter, I've extended the room for another day. If he doesn't come out tomorrow, I'll take the initiative to call him."
As he spoke, Zhou Xinran glanced at Cen Yuanjin who was not far away.
"...If I say that all this has nothing to do with me, would you believe it?" Cen Yuanjin, who realized that Qiao Bai might be cultivating the spirit fire with Xiao Wu, sounded quite aggrieved: "I didn't expect him to be so reckless!"
I just learned the key to cultivating the essence of fire from him, and I started to actively try it after returning to my room.
If the attempt really fails, he won't say anything.
But looking at Qiao Bai's posture... he doesn't look like he's going to fail at all! For a moment, Cen Yuanjin began to doubt himself.
no?
Is it so easy to cultivate the essence of fire?
Or is it that Qiao Bai is actually just holding on?
After Cen Yuanjin analyzed it, he felt that the latter was more likely. It was impossible for Qiao Bai to cultivate the spirit fire with the extraordinary creatures so quickly.
Zhou Xinran didn't say anything after hearing this.
After all, to be honest... she knew about Qiao Bai's attempt yesterday, and Qiao Bai even informed her before starting to practice.
At that time, Zhou Xinran's thoughts were similar to Cen Yuanjin's.
It is definitely not that easy to succeed. If Qiao Bai really wants to give it a try, then he can give it a try. It is not a big problem.
Failure is the mother of success!
Who would have thought... Qiao Bai gritted his teeth and persisted for a whole day and night without giving up. If he wasn't going for success, what was he doing? "Hey, come to think of it... do you think Qiao Bai can really do it and cultivate the essence fire with that Hua bird in one go?" Seeing that Zhou Xinran was not so angry anymore, Cen Yuanjin took the initiative to move forward and asked softly.
He stroked his chin with a thoughtful look on his face: "Actually, if you ask me, the possibility of him failing this time is relatively high."
Huanio is not a supernatural creature with fire attribute.
Learning fire-attribute skills is difficult in itself.
What's more, it is the cultivation of the fine fire that can only be cultivated by extraordinary creatures with fire attribute?
If Zhou Xinran hadn't come to him in person, saying that he owed him a favor, and if Qiao Bai hadn't shown great potential, Cen Yuanjin wouldn't have shared his experience so easily.
Even so, Cen Yuanjin still wasn't very optimistic about Qiao Bai.
Perhaps in terms of research on the evolution of pets, Qiao Bai is a rising genius, but in terms of breeding pets and development routes, Qiao Bai may not be a genius.
"It's okay to fail." Zhou Xinran said calmly: "Sometimes it's not a bad thing to try setbacks."
Another night has passed.
Most people are really almost gone.
For these trainers and pet evolution professors and scholars, a week's rest is enough to relax them. Resting any longer would be a mental torture for them.
They can't wait to get back and get into their work!
Long live work!
The few people who stayed behind all had a good relationship with Qiao Bai.
Like Zhou Xinran.
There is also Cen Yuanjin who thinks that this matter has something to do with him.
Then came Zou Tang, Huo Xiaotian and his father.
"Qiao Bai and I are friends. I won't leave until I'm sure he's safe!" Zou Tang said worriedly.
Huo Xiaotian secretly glanced at Zhou Xinran, but abruptly retracted his gaze before being noticed, patting his chest with a righteous look on his face: "Me too!"
Zou Tang chose to give him a big eye roll.
Huo Batian didn't say anything.
They were all gathered in Zhou Xinran's suite at this time, and Huo Batian's eyes would occasionally sweep towards the tightly closed door.
Time passes by little by little.
The first one who couldn't sit still was Huo Xiaotian. He twisted his butt in the chair and whispered, "...Why hasn't he come out yet? It's almost been two days and two nights, right? Is he really cultivating in there?"
Otherwise, how can one not be hungry and have normal physiological needs?
…
If you ask Qiao Bai in the room if he is really not hungry at all, the answer you get is definitely...hungry!
Starving to death! But Qiao Bai, who had lost his sense of time, thought that only half a day had passed at most, and he could still hold on to this level of hunger! The reason why Qiao Bai didn't move was because...
In the process of cultivating the Essence Fire, Qiao Bai could subtly feel that his spiritual sea in the Beast Taming Space, which was stuck at level 3+, was slowly loosening.
Qiao Bai was completely shocked.
Why? Why is there movement in the spiritual sea?
Could it be that... the process of condensing the essence fire causes the spiritual sea to condense along with it under the burning of the flame?
Qiao Bai was not sure, but he did not intend to miss this good opportunity.
If I can take advantage of Xiao Wu's opportunity to condense his spirit fire and break through the fourth level of the spiritual sea in one go... then Xiao Wu's evolution conditions will all be met! If I don't succeed, I will die!
Let's fight this time!
