My tamed beasts can't be demons.

Chapter 84 Choosing the Second Pet

When Zhou Lu showed strong interest, Wu Xiaoqing gave him some black basil spores.

These spores are all first-order life forms in a dormant state, carefully cultivated by Wu Xiaoqing.

When a user is affected by a skill, there is a certain probability that the skill will be recorded.

At this point, you can simply sprinkle them on the wood, and they will be activated and grow rapidly.

The probability of a black Monument Mushroom fully growing is not high, but once it does grow, each Monument Mushroom represents an opportunity to unleash a skill.

Wu Xiaoqing carried at least a thousand Inscription Mushroom spores with her this time, but only one Inscription Mushroom will eventually grow. Even with the divine beast skill, the probability is still very low.

Of course, if it were other mythical beast skills, Wu Xiaoqing probably wouldn't be able to stand here intact.

The prerequisite for the Inscription Mushroom to record skills is that you are affected by the skills.

The prerequisite for you to harvest the Inscription Mushroom is that you must survive under this skill.

If you can withstand an attack skill, it means it's not that important to you.

Well, according to Wu Xiaoqing, this is still just one of her pile of useless achievements.

The next morning, Zhou Lu woke up groggily from his sleep.

Hanabi was standing on the balcony, using vines to roll up the washed clothes in the bucket and hang them on the clothes rack.

Looking at the time, it was already 10 a.m.

Starting from the second year, the Beast Taming Academy has no extra courses besides the routine Beast Taming exams held twice a year.

Students need to learn independently based on their own development path and adventurous experiences.

There's no way around it; ten thousand beast tamers have ten thousand different ways of raising beasts.

Even though there is now a concept of standardized beast taming, it is not the mainstream.

Every beast tamer has different ideas, so it's impossible to create a unified curriculum.

The advantage of this approach is that if you really want to slack off, you can be very relaxed—as long as you can pass the exam.

Hanabi sensed her owner getting up through the division plant buried under the owner's bed, quickly hung up the clothes, and ran into the room.

It went to the kitchen by the door, took out the breakfast that had already been prepared, and put it on the table.

Upon seeing Hanabi's actions, Xiaoxi, who was reading a book nearby, knew what had happened: "That guy woke up?"

The breakfast on the table was actually pre-made frozen buns and steamed bread, which were heated in the microwave.

Add milk, and you have a hearty breakfast.

Although Hanabi has recently started looking at recipes under Xiaoxi's guidance, from Hanabi's perspective, those recipes are undoubtedly like horror manga or novels.

Dismemberment, boiling, frying, steaming, roasting...

Humans are terrifying.

No wonder Xiaoxi called them terrifying upright apes.

However, in order to prepare a delicious meal for her owner, Hanabi is already trying her best to overcome her fear.

Recently, whenever Zhou Lu pays attention, he notices that this little plant often holds a cookbook and looks at it when it has nothing else to do.

I was trembling while watching it.

Occasionally, it will shed a leaf or petal due to excessive fear.

"Hey, good morning, human."

Xiao Xi, who was trying to freeload breakfast, was flung away by the vines of the fireworks and landed smoothly and skillfully in front of Zhou Lu.

She showed no embarrassment whatsoever, and as if welcoming family, said to Zhou Lu, "It seems Wu Xiaoqing had a peaceful night last night."

Zhou Lu knew exactly what Xiao Xi was talking about. He sat down and was about to speak when Hua Huo quickly placed breakfast in front of him.

Fortunately, breakfast today wasn't frozen steak, otherwise Hanabi would have shoved the knife and fork into Zhou Lu's hands.

Zhou Lu took a sip of milk and said, "I thought this would be a secret."

"It's confidential, but don't you know who I am?" Xiaoxi blinked at Zhou Lu and said, "Are you interested in telling me about what happened last night? I'll give you fairy coins."

"Let's not talk about this now." Although Xiaoqing didn't seem to care too much about these things, Zhou Lu still felt he should keep last night's secret. "I might have some things I want to ask you later."

Xiaoxi's eyes lit up immediately when she heard that business had come in: "Consultations are a paid service, though."

"If it's not too expensive, I'll buy it." Zhou Lu wolfed down his breakfast.

Hanabi is a bit too much of a mother figure when it comes to preparing food.

It seemed worried that Zhou Lu wouldn't have enough to eat, so it would prepare an excessive amount of food each time.

Looks like I don't need to eat lunch.

First, he ate lunch at 10 a.m.

Secondly, he ate all the buns so as not to upset Hanabi, who was watching him from the side.

Watching her master eat so happily, Hanabi thought to herself: It seems like it's not enough... I'll prepare more next time!

After breakfast, Zhou Lu prepared to draw the reward from last night.

The first thing he would extract was naturally the location information of the divine beast offspring, which was of most concern to him.

Of course, this is also the project most likely to fail, so Zhou Lu put it first.

Even if the ship sinks later, I can still draw skill cards to adjust my mindset.

This time, Zhou Lu directly put on fireworks.

[Body Feeding] Once it's opened, the luck of fireworks doubles.

Zhou Lu handed the scroll containing the information to Hanabi: "Open it, Hanabi."

Fireworks happily raised its leaves: (*￣︶￣)

The reel was opened.

Zhou Lu took the scroll from Hua Huo's hand.

[C0016, Leishan Secret Realm, Twenty-fourth Teleport Node, Nine Difficulties Candle Dragon's Egg.]

Nine Difficulties Candle Dragon?

Zhou Lu looked at the information and stroked his chin thoughtfully.

I wonder if it's possible to raise a half-dragon maid...

No! This is definitely not the time for this!

Zhou Lu patted his head, then turned around to look at Xiao Xi, who was curiously observing their master and servant's neurotic performance.

"Teacher Xiaoxi, how much do you know about the Nine Difficulties Candle Dragon?"

"Nine Difficulties Candle Dragon?" Xiaoxi said in surprise, "I haven't heard this name in a long time. Logically speaking, it should be extinct by now."

"Extinction...Can even mythical beasts go extinct?"

Mythical beasts have a lifespan of at least five hundred to a thousand years.

Regarding the instinct for the continuation of the species, when the population size is small, they often also have the instinct to protect the population.

Xiao Xi shrugged and shook her head, saying, "Other spirit beasts might not, but the Nine Difficulties Candle Dragon is indeed an exception."

Zhou Lu was even more surprised by Xiao Xi's performance: "Could you elaborate?"

Xiaoxi made the same expression as Hanabi: ( )

"Okay, how much?"

"3 pieces."

That's exactly the number of Fairy Coins Zhou Lu has.

"So little?"

"Because under normal circumstances, you simply cannot find the Nine Difficulties Candle Dragon."

"Huh? Why?"

"Nine Tribulations Candle Dragon, Nine Tribulations Candle Dragon, it cannot transform into a dragon without undergoing ninety-nine tribulations." Xiao Xi sat on Zhou Lu's shoulder and said, "The Nine Tribulations Candle Dragon's realm is fixed the moment it hatches from the egg."

"If the Nine Difficulties Candle Dragon wants to become a divine beast, it must reach the True God stage while still in its egg."
