My tamed beasts can't be demons.

Chapter 69 Wu Xiaoqing's Gift

The Land of Extreme Ice, located in the C1211 Snowfield Secret Realm, is a treasure trove for producing ice-type spirit beasts.

For some unknown reason, this area possesses a special kind of magic.

Many spirit beasts have a much higher success rate in evolving once they come to this area.

Now that the fireworks have entered the evolutionary stage, Zhou Lu needs to prepare for entering the Snowfield Secret Realm.

"So, you really don't need my protection?" Wu Xiaoqing asked, looking at Zhou Lu who was buying winter clothes online.

The Frozen Land is not within the safe zone of the Snowfield Secret Realm, so there were no safety instructors accompanying us this time either.

"Senior, you still have your graduation project to do, right?" Zhou Lu stopped what he was doing and looked at Wu Xiaoqing. "And I also need to learn how to explore the secret realm alone."

While the safe zone is indeed safe, all the resources inside are provided by the authorities and cannot possibly include all the resources and needs you require.

If Zhou Lu wants to become stronger faster, it is necessary for him to leave the safe zone and enter a wider secret realm.

He cannot be protected by others forever.

The Frozen Lands, a popular spot for Beast Tamers, is relatively less dangerous.

This kind of place is perfect as a starting point for venturing out on your own.

"Okay, if you insist."

Wu Xiaoqing never interfered with Zhou Lu's decisions.

After Zhou Lu explicitly refused, she didn't insist and turned around to scratch her hair, studying the two ghost heart purple mushrooms in her hand again.

"Oh, right." After a while, she seemed to remember something and said, "There's a gift for you on that table over there."

"A gift?" Zhou Lu was slightly taken aback.

Wu Xiaoqing glanced at Zhou Lu: "Isn't today your birthday?"

"Huh?" Zhou Lu was taken aback and looked down at his phone.

It seems that's really true...

What kind of birthday gift can I give Xiaoqing?

Could it be some kind of strange mushroom?

With a hint of doubt and fear, Zhou Lu arrived at the table that Wu Xiaoqing had mentioned.

There was a file folder on top.

The moment Zhou Lu saw the file folder, he was startled and had a vague idea of ​​what was going on.

Upon opening it, it was indeed as expected.

The entire evolution formula for the Nine Lives Herb, from stage two to stage four, is contained on it.

Looking at the watermark of the Seeking Wood on the recipe, it is undoubtedly from the Knowledge Fairy, because Xiao Xi said that the Seeking Wood only knew about the evolution of the Nine Lives Immortal Herb up to the fourth level.

Zhou Lu once asked Xiao Xi how many Fairy Coins were needed to exchange for all the information on the evolution of the Nine Lives Immortal Grass.

one thousand.

This was Xiaoxi's answer at the time.

Zhou Lu immediately sensed the unevenness of the world.

One fairy coin can be exchanged for a regular C-grade skill card, and three fairy coins can be exchanged for a training method for a Beastmaster or Spirit Pet skill.

A typical complete evolution path for a spirit beast costs only three or four hundred fairy coins, and even then, it might only reach the fifth tier.

Fireworks' evolution path doubled right from the start, completely silencing Zhou Lu.

To everyone's surprise, Wu Xiaoqing actually exchanged a complete set of evolution information for him.

Just as he was about to express his gratitude, Wu Xiaoqing said, "Don't be so moved. Some of these Fairy Coins are your father's inheritance. I exchanged them in your name."

"My dad still has fairy coins?"

"No matter what, a teacher is a professor with a title," Wu Xiaoqing said helplessly. "Although I don't expect you to follow in a teacher's footsteps, you should at least learn about the achievements of your teachers."

I tried to understand.

But I can't understand it at all...

"Teacher Xiaoxi never mentioned this to me..."

"Of course she won't tell you unless you ask," Wu Xiaoqing said with a shrug. "She'd love to keep all the fairy coins for herself."

Damn it! I shouldn't have pulled her out of the teacup last night!

With this in mind, Zhou Lu began to carefully study the formula for the evolution of fireworks.

[Ding! Host has been detected to have come into contact with the recipe for the subsequent evolution of the Rose of the End. Related quests are now available ahead of schedule!]

The system notification sounded at that moment.

Will it open early?

In other words, in the system timeline, I shouldn't have come across the evolution recipe at this point?

Hmm, perhaps I haven't started collecting the relevant evolution materials yet.

With that in mind, Zhou Lu began patiently comparing the contents of the documents with those of the system tasks.

At that moment, Hanabi returned from outside carrying the experimental materials.

"Ah, thank you, Hanabi." Wu Xiaoqing raised her hand to take the materials Hanabi handed her, and said with a smile.

Fireworks waved its hand to indicate that it was welcome, and then wanted to go find its owner to stick it on immediately.

But they found the owner holding some papers and studying them intently.

Hua Huo looked at Wu Xiaoqing with a puzzled expression: What is Master reading?

Wu Xiaoqing seemed to understand what Hanabi meant and said, "It's Hanabi's future evolution path. It's a birthday gift I gave to your master."

Fireworks used vines to spell out a question mark: What is your birthday?

Wu Xiaoqing tilted her head, seemingly pondering the meaning of "fireworks".

"Hmm...it's probably a very important day for your master."

Hanabi was clearly lost in thought, puzzled.

Wu Xiaoqing chuckled and said, "You can also give your master a birthday present!"

Hanabi immediately realized what was going on.

It seemed to be straining, and its branches and leaves began to tremble slightly.

A few seconds later, many small flowers sprouted on Hanabi's body.

It quickly picked the small flowers with its vines, then cut off a section of vine from itself and began to weave according to its previous idea.

Meanwhile, Zhou Lu had almost finished checking the contents of the system and the documents.

Just like last time, the system tasks did not cover all evolution materials, and Zhou Lu still needed to find and identify many materials himself.

However, based on his previous experience, Zhou Lu roughly knew the characteristics of these materials that did not appear in the mission.

The vast majority of them should be obtainable through trading.

Those that cannot be traded can probably be replicated using modern beast-taming technology.

The truly difficult materials to obtain are those from system quests, which can only be found by entering secret realms.

Sure enough, the system's greatest help to me was in terms of information and intelligence.

Without this system, although he could still find these materials, it would probably take Zhou Lu a lot of time just to gather intelligence and integrate information.

Compared to this intelligence, the rewards for those missions seemed like freebies to Zhou Lu.

However, since there are freebies to be had, we should still take advantage of them.

Just then, Zhou Lu felt his trouser leg being tugged. He looked down and saw Huahuo looking at him with a smile.

Seeing that her master was looking at her, Hanabi quickly took out what she had hidden behind her back and handed it to her master.

A birthday present for my owner! (*^▽^*)

This is a wreath woven from fireworks flowers and vines.

Little Grass doesn't yet possess complex craftsmanship; the flower wreath is currently the most complex woven item it can complete.
