Chapter 216: Chapter 149: Little Fox’s Third Skill: World-Purifying True Flame (Part 2)
Otherwise, it’s impossible for these evolution materials to be prepared by Liu Gu.
The Spirit Academy doesn’t offer any services for handling evolution.
Lin Chen really wanted to tell Liu Gu that the evolution probability of the Calamity-Devouring Beast is only 1%, but after thinking for a moment, he ultimately kept quiet.
Firstly, it would expose his own talent, which is a major taboo for Beastmasters; secondly, since the Calamity-Devouring Beast had reached Level 20, it was necessary to attempt an evolution.
Lin Chen didn’t wait for Bai Ling to return; instead, he comforted the Big White Bear for a while and left it behind, then went back to his dormitory.
That night, the Big White Bear didn’t sleep at all.
...
The next day, Bai Ling came over.
"Hehe~~~," Bai Ling greeted. Ever since she found out that Lin Chen was in the same mentor group as her, she was very happy.
"Why did you come?" Lin Chen asked.
"The teacher said that if it’s about cultivation, you should be even more impressive than him, so he sent me to you," Bai Ling said. "He mentioned he’s busy planning a regimen for your bear and will be unavailable for a while."
Lin Chen felt a bit of sweat.
Yesterday, Lin Chen had praised him for being thorough in his work, but today he had become a hands-off manager?
Lin Chen looked at her Three-Headed Spirit Beast and said, "You can’t contract the Red Feather Chicken, so practicing is a waste."
The Calamity-Devouring Beast and the Unicorn were annoyed upon hearing this but couldn’t argue back.
Bai Ling, however, said, "I just want to learn, so I can train well in the future. Is that okay?"
Lin Chen thought for a bit and finally said, "Alright."
His greatest secret was purifying bloodlines, something Bai Ling certainly couldn’t learn, nor could he teach.
What he could teach was Xiaobai’s daily cultivation regimen.
In the evening, the Little Fox prepared a meal, and Lin Chen invited Bai Ling over, only to find her seriously writing in a small notebook:
"First, moderate training with a balance of work and rest. Train or meditate for six hours every day, with a period of mind wandering in between..."
Lin Chen felt a bit of sweat, wanting to remind her that for non-Spiritual Type Spirit Beasts, mind wandering was unnecessary.
To his surprise, Bai Ling had written a second line:
"Second, bathe more than twice a day, especially after training. It’s essential to bathe."
"..."
...
It wasn’t Bai Ling’s fault; she was simply recording everything she observed.
Her first Spirit Beast was the Calamity-Devouring Beast, which couldn’t be trained at all.
Lin Chen had also seen its skill; it just swallowed with its mouth open, no other skill.
The next day, Lin Chen set out for the Level 2 Spirit Spring, and Bai Ling returned to the Mentor Hall.
This place was truly a new environment for Lin Chen, as those who could come here were all Level 2 or 3 senior brothers and sisters.
"Junior Brother, I’ve heard your batch of newcomers is impressive, teaming up to capture that Level 30 Beast King’s Cub—it’s way better than our batch," a senior brother approached to commend, being from Level 3 and two years senior.
"Senior Brother, please don’t joke around," Lin Chen offered a wry smile.
Rumor had it that the seniors from Level 3 were quite aggressive, having done a lot of bold things.
The senior brother laughed heartily and showed Lin Chen the direction to the Spirit Spring.
The Level 2 Spirit Spring was indeed large and good. Although the Little Fox said to be cautious, once there, it dove right in, later telling Lin Chen it was far better than before.
"Then, meditate well; you can only stay here for a month," Lin Chen said.
Xiaobai and Xiao Hong immediately began meditating, not wanting to miss this opportunity.
"Xiao Hong’s skill awakening should also happen at these two levels," Lin Chen pondered.
Due to being contracted late, the Little Fox’s second skill awakened slowly, so its third skill would also awaken relatively slowly.
The reason Lin Chen was so concerned about this issue was that he planned to perform a second bloodline purification on it.
Although not much time had passed since the first time, it was due.
Like Xiaobai, before Xiao Hong’s first evolution, Lin Chen intended to perform three bloodline purifications, aiming for over 30 points if possible.
Ancestral Evolution benefits from a higher Hidden Bloodline, but Lin Chen guessed that over 30% would already be quite stable.
As time progressed, the demands for higher Hidden Bloodline increased.
The Little Fox’s evolution path was straightforward, so maximizing the Hidden Bloodline was the goal.
About ten days later, the Little Fox opened its eyes, telling Lin Chen it hit a bottleneck.
Lin Chen immediately packed up to return home, stopping by the Mentor Hall to call the Big White Bear back.
The Big White Bear was thrilled to see Lin Chen coming to fetch it.
Though it ate well and lived well in the Mentor Hall, it felt uncomfortable without Lin Chen and the others around.
It told Lin Chen that Liu Gu had recorded every aspect of its state, including its physical condition.
Lin Chen thought for a moment, planning to ask Liu Gu about it another day.
The reason he brought the Big White Bear back was partly because he missed it and partly because he felt that now they were a family; the Little Fox becoming stronger was something for everyone to witness together.
The Big White Bear was extremely pleased to hear Lin Chen’s intention.
Then, with the door closed, Lin Chen prepared to perform the second bloodline purification on the Little Fox.
Currently, Lin Chen had several superb specimens on hand. Bai Ling’s Red Feather Chicken and the recently collected Ghost Hunting Wolf were both decent choices.
But now, the Little Fox definitely couldn’t handle them.
After some consideration, Lin Chen finally decided to set the Little Fox’s target at an increase of 8-10%.
Lin Chen patiently tried each method and ultimately settled on a sample:
Li An’s Hellhorn Bovine sample, which was obtained during the Cow King Competition:
[Hidden Bloodline: 13.45%]
[Conversion Efficiency: 72%]
[On the edge of danger, but still manageable]
After giving the Little Fox final instructions, Lin Chen began to use the Bloodline Golden Hand.
This time, the Little Fox was in a lot of pain, almost its entire body twitching, causing Xiaobai to involuntarily turn its head away.
Having been with the Little Fox for a long time, Xiaobai had deep feelings for it and knew the Little Fox was much more afraid of pain than he was.
