Spirit Plant Masters Sweep Across the Beast Taming Interstellar Space

Chapter 73 Stealing the Spirit Peach [Part Two]

Ge Bai was somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected things to go so smoothly. Xiao Tao thought for a moment and then directly said yes.

The system shows that Peach Gold - Beginner (0/100), which means that Peach has not mastered this skill at all.

When Ge Bai first formed a contract with Da Liu, he knew about the Willow Whip skill, but he and Da Liu still spent a long time figuring it out together.

Now, how come Xiaotao suddenly has an epiphany? Is she a natural talent that can't be predicted by common sense?

"Huh? What kind of fruit is that? Little Peach, could you conjure one up so we can see?"

At this moment, Ge Bai felt that what he said was so sweet it was almost cloying. He figured if things continued like this, he might be able to find time to take the early childhood teacher qualification exam.

"Uh, it's not a good fruit, we can't eat it for nothing."

Xiao Tao tilted her head and looked up at Ge Bai.

Hmm? Something's not right. How could it not be a good fruit? The Golden Peach is described as a divine fruit.

Hearing Xiao Tao say this, Ge Bai became even more curious.

"Okay, I'll just look, I won't eat."

Ge Bai readily agreed, saying that once the fruit was condensed, it would be equivalent to mastering the skill, and he could simply read the system skill description.

"Um!"

Xiao Tao put down the nutrient solution she was holding and jumped out of Ge Bai's arms.

Standing on the grass, I closed my eyes, concentrated, and circulated my spiritual energy.

The process of this fruit condensing is not much different from the process of the Spirit Returning Peach condensing.

Before long, a fruit that looked exactly like the Spirit Returning Peach in appearance, smell, and even spiritual energy fluctuations grew out of the small peach branch.

Xiao Tao stretched out a branch laden with fruit to Ge Bai's side, and Ge Bai picked the fruit with some confusion.

Looking up at Xiao Tao, I realized that even its spiritual energy consumption was similar to that of the Rejuvenating Peach. Was the one in my hand really not a Rejuvenating Peach?

Ge Bai carefully examined the fruit in his hand, and opened the spiritual plant cultivation diagram with some skepticism.

Hey, this really isn't a Returning Spirit Peach.

【Type: Golden Peach Demon Tree (Leader of Bloodline)】

[Skill: Spirit-Stealing Peach - Beginner (5/100); Skill Level: Advanced; Skill Description: The peaches that grow from this tree cause the user to rapidly lose a certain amount of spiritual energy upon consumption. This spiritual energy is then obtained by the user designated by the Golden Peach Demon Tree.]

Xiao Tao was right, this fruit really shouldn't be eaten.

Ge Bai held the fruit in his hand and asked Xiao Tao, "Do you know the effects of this fruit?"

"I know, it's for bad people. After eating it, bad people lose spiritual power, while good people gain spiritual power."

Although Xiaotao's words were immature, her meaning was very clear.

This left Ge Bai no choice but to ask a few more questions.

"Xiao Tao, this is the first time you've condensed this kind of Spirit-Seizing Peach, right? How did you know you could condense a fruit with this effect?"

Xiao Tao tilted her head and thought for a while. This time, she thought for a long time, and her little face was all scrunched up.

"At once."

It seems that this is something that is difficult for her to express.

"It just suddenly occurred to me one day that I knew I could condense it. Bye-bye, this fruit is called the Spirit-Snatching Peach? How fitting!"

This is indeed all that Xiao Tao knows, but this answer would leave not only Ge Bai speechless, but anyone who heard it.

It just popped into my head, and I can do it? That's how I acquired a high-level skill?

So learning skills can be this simple? Ge Bai suddenly realized that he no longer needed to worry about Xiao Tao.

The chosen one, he can just sit back and win by relying on God's blessings.

After putting away Xiao Tao's Spirit-Stealing Peach, Ge Bai patted Xiao Tao's head and said, "Go play. If you get tired, tell me and I'll take you back to your spiritual space to sleep."

"Peach."

Xiaotao skipped and hopped to find Chiyo. Recently, she and Chiyo had become quite close, and she loved to pester Chiyo to take her on spatial teleportation missions.

When Chiyo saw Momo approaching, she used a spatial teleportation technique on her during a break from practicing Chiyo Sword. Momo appeared in mid-air, giggling.

"Chiyo, Chiyo, let's play some more."

Chiyo glanced at Dairyu and saw how Dairyu's willow whip was flying. She had no intention of stopping her Chiyo Sword practice to play with Momo. She just took the time to give her a space teleportation, multitasking.

"Ge Bai, we heard you came back early today, we knew you were here."

Wu Dami's voice was very distinctive. He and Liu Hao were still climbing up the mountain in the distance when they saw Ge Bai's shadow and he shouted loudly.

Gobai walked over and pulled them up a large step.

"What brings you here? You must be very busy lately."

Since leaving school, Ge Baitian has been leaving early and returning late every day, and hasn't seen his two childhood playmates for a long time.

"I haven't seen you around for days, but when Teacher Xiaolu told me you were back today, I rushed over to find you."

Wu Dami was still his usual carefree and talkative self, "Ge Bai, you're really amazing now! We've seen you and Chuisi Guliu trending on social media twice already."

"On the Spirit Plant Master Forum, any topic related to you will definitely be featured, pinned, and go viral!"

"Can I take a picture with Oyanagi and Chiyo Haru Arane later? And autographs too, please sign a stack for me first, I'll sell them on the forum later."

Wu Dami glanced at Da Liu and Chiyo not far away, his eyes darting around.

As his ramblings became increasingly outrageous, Liu Hao couldn't help but push him and complain, "Can't you do something reliable for once?"

Wu Dami stumbled from the push, and after regaining his balance, he scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

Seeing that his two playmates were still the same as before, Ge Bai chuckled and joined in the commotion.

"Sign, sign, sign. You name how many you want to sign, and we'll split the profits when they're sold."

Liu Hao smiled helplessly and shook his head: "You two keep fooling around."

"By the way, how have you guys been lately? Is the recruitment season going smoothly?" Ge Bai asked, inquiring about his friends' recent situation.

"I found a job at a commercial plant cultivation base, specifically to take care of the Black Card orchard, and I can also cultivate my Black Card fruits on the side," Wu Dami said eagerly. "Look at my little Black Card, it's growing quite well too."

As he spoke, Wu Dami summoned his spiritual plant, and a small black card fruit sapling appeared in front of everyone.

As soon as Xiao Heizi's figure solidified, he sensed the complex fluctuations of spiritual energy around him and subconsciously hid behind Wu Dami.

"Black Card"

The black cardamom sapling, with only half a branch sticking out, called out softly.

Ge Bai understood. Xiao Hei Zi was protesting, saying that Da Liu and Qian Dai were fierce, and he wanted to go back to the spiritual space.

Wu Dami, being so oblivious, didn't listen to what Xiao Heizi was saying at all, and just stood there grinning like an idiot.

"Alright, alright, hurry up and put your little black cat back into your spiritual space. He seems a bit shy."

Ge Bai quickly spoke up; she couldn't stand seeing spirit plants uncomfortable, regardless of whether they were her contracted spirit plants.

When Wu Dami heard what Ge Bai said, he carefully looked at his little black dog, which looked listless, and readily followed Ge Bai's advice.

He kept talking as he reclaimed the black card fruit trees.

"Haozi just applied for a sales position at Chainlink Company."

Ge Bai looked at Liu Hao with some confusion. Even if it was a job, he had plenty of options.

Meeting Ge Bai's gaze, Liu Hao smiled frankly, "It's great. The working hours are flexible, the commission is not low, and the more you work, the more you earn."

Liu Hao didn't say much, but his words were to the point. Ge Bai knew that he hadn't given up on becoming a professional beast tamer and was preparing to work while raising pets. This job was indeed the most suitable for him at this stage.

"Haozi, don't rush, take your time. When your Sichuan Golden Monkey is almost ready to advance, tell me and I'll find you some good advancement paths."

Ge Bai spoke very sincerely.

She didn't need to worry about Wu Dami. Since he was at the commodity spirit plant cultivation base, responsible for taking care of the Black Card Fruit, it wouldn't be difficult for him to obtain the optimal advancement path for the Black Card Fruit.

In fact, raising a pet is not a simple matter. It requires time and resources, and there are multiple advancement paths to choose from each time the pet advances.

Even for the most common advancement path of ordinary pets, if you want to master the key points of advancement in detail, you need to pay a fee to the Alliance Beast Taming Center or the Alliance Spirit Plant Center.

If an advancement fails, it can be a significant blow to the pet. Therefore, if there is a proven advancement path, few pet tamers are willing to gamble.

To obtain a more promising advanced path, the price to pay is even greater.

Some long-established martial arts schools possess unique advancement paths for certain pets, which may be impossible to buy even with money.

For example, the martial arts school of Ran Caijiao has a Silver Armor Vajra advancement path, which makes their combat power quite impressive after advancement. This is one of the main reasons why their martial arts school has been so successful for so long.

Now that Ge Bai is the highest-level talent at the Beijing-Hong Kong Spirit Plant Research Institute, he can access the database at any time to find detailed advancement paths for all the spirit plants the alliance possesses, as well as brief advancement paths for spirit beasts.

According to Lu Nan, once she becomes a formal member of Bureau Y, the detailed advancement path for spirit beasts will also be made available to her.

According to Lu Nan, although they, as spirit plant masters, do not need detailed advancement paths for spirit beasts, knowing oneself and one's enemy is the key to victory. Moreover, geniuses will always contract some new spirit plants and need to explore their own advancement paths. Looking at the advancement paths of other spirit plants and spirit beasts is also beneficial to geniuses.

The above are all Lu Nan's statements.

Ge Bai acknowledged the importance of exploring advancement paths, but he was too ashamed to call himself a genius like Lu Nan without batting an eye.

By the time the golden monkey is close to advancing in rank, she should be able to obtain the qualification of a formal member of Bureau Y, no problem.

Ge Bai had already planned everything out in her mind. This wasn't a difficult thing for her, but Liu Hao was deeply moved when he heard it.

This put his mind at ease. Raising pet beasts is expensive, and the thought of having to spend a lot of money to find Jinrui's advancement path gave him a headache.

This really solved a big problem for him.

Liu Hao gave Ge Bai a deep look. He didn't want to say thank you, feeling that the two words were too insignificant, and that Ge Bai probably didn't want to hear them either.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

Liu Hao suppressed his emotions, kept this sentiment in his heart, and gave Ge Bai a big smile.

Ge Bai was actually afraid that Liu Hao would be too polite to her, but seeing that he accepted it readily, she breathed a long sigh of relief.

Suddenly, Ge Bai remembered something.

"Hey, Haozi, perfect timing!" Ge Bai slapped his thigh. "I'm planning to rent an apartment. You can help me find one. It'll be easier and more convenient for me, and it'll even count towards your commission. Isn't that great?"

Liu Hao readily accepted the task, saying, "No problem, what are your requirements? I'll find you the most suitable one, and I won't even charge you a commission."

Ge Bai quickly waved his hand.

"No, no, no, I got it from the Beijing-Hong Kong Spiritual Plant Research Institute, uh."

After a pause, Ge Bai swallowed back the words about the bonus that were already on the tip of his tongue.

"Support from the Beijing-Hong Kong Institute of Spiritual Plants, yes, support."

"They'll reimburse your rent. You should earn what you need to earn. Don't try to save me money. Just go for the market price."

Ge Bai knew that if she told Liu Hao directly that the Beijing-Hong Kong Research Institute had already transferred the special funds to her, even if she told Liu Hao that she had 1000 million yuan, given his personality, he would just tell her to save it well and not take a single penny of intermediary fees.

He's a real stubborn one; only when you say it that way will he listen properly.

Sure enough, after hearing Ge Bai's explanation, Liu Hao nodded with some skepticism.

"There are actually quite a few housing requirements."

When it comes to serious matters, Ge Bai is very clear-headed.

"First of all, it has to be in a good location, not far from Beijing-Hong Kong No.1 Middle School, as it will be very convenient for students to attend school in the next few years. Also, I expect to frequently visit martial arts school districts and competition venues."

Ge Bai felt that securing a special admission to Beijing-Hong Kong No. 1 High School wouldn't be a problem. Even if something went wrong, she could still afford the tuition.

Liu Hao listened without saying a word, but nodded solemnly.

At the same time, I took out my mobile device, opened the map, marked a few points, and drew a circle.

"As for the accommodation, I don't have many requirements. A quiet place would be better, and the decoration doesn't need to be particularly luxurious."

"But one thing is certain: the space needs to be large, preferably with a well-decorated professional training ground, ideally a multi-functional training ground, and even better if it has multiple training grounds above and below ground."

Gobai rented a house specifically to make it easier for Daliu and Chiyo to train.

"Yes, there are several high-end residential areas near Beijing-Hong Kong No. 1 Middle School that are specifically built for professional beast tamers. Generally, the detached villas in these residential areas can meet your needs."

Upon hearing Ge Bai's request, Liu Hao immediately understood what she meant. Although he hadn't been with the company long, he was quite proficient in his duties.

"Wait for me to go back and check the availability of rooms over there. I'll try to give you a definite answer by tomorrow, or at the latest the day after."

When it comes to getting things done, Liu Hao is quite reliable.

Ge Bai nodded gratefully; leaving this matter to Liu Hao saved her a lot of worry.

"Ah, Ge Bai, you're already planning to live in a detached villa! I'm so envious." Wu Dami rarely kept quiet for a moment, listening attentively from the side.

Seeing that the two had almost finished discussing their business, he immediately chimed in.

Ge Bai was in a good mood after accomplishing something big. "Come on, let's live together. I have no objection."

Wu Dami thought for a moment and then shook his head.

"No, the commute is too far and inconvenient. I'm fine living in the dormitory at the training base. Xiao Heizi likes it there too."

The staff dormitory at the commercial spirit plant cultivation base is actually just average, but the specially arranged environment is very attractive to certain fruit tree spirit plants.

Despite Wu Dami's carefree attitude, she's very kind to Xiao Heizi.
