Genius Beast Taming: Starting from Awakening an S-Rank Talent

Zhou Heng held the white jade box and asked, "Mom, where did these three bottles of potions come from? What are their grades? What are they used for?"

Zhou's mother smiled gently: "Does this seem unfamiliar to you?"

Zhou Heng pondered for a moment: "That's right. After I became a Beastmaster, my memory became exceptionally good. I can remember everything, whether it's something I've used, something I've seen in real life, or something I've only seen once in a book or online. I can't say for sure, but I recognize most of the potions commonly used by Alliance Beastmasters. However, I don't recognize these three potions. These three potions must not be common potions."

"It's normal that you don't recognize these three potions. These are three potions that I had your grandfather specially commission a seventh-level alchemist in Yuandu to create for your three contracted partners. They are named Fire Rebirth Elixir, Heavenly Jade Dew, and Nightmare Mist Water."

Mother Zhou's voice was gentle: "Each bottle will allow your three contracted partners to advance one level at will before reaching the fourth rank, without any side effects. The Fire Rebirth Elixir is for Phoenix Phoenix, Heavenly Jade Dew is for Overturning Sea Silver Dragon, and Nightmare Water is for Eternal Night Demon Dragon."

Zhou Heng asked, "What level are these three potions?"

Mother Zhou smiled and said, "These are top-grade fifth-tier potions, of perfect quality. Moreover, each bottle is more effective than ordinary fifth-tier potions because these three bottles are custom-made potions with special effects."

Generally speaking, potions that can help beasts break through levels are more expensive than potions of the same level. Those without side effects are even more expensive, and custom-made ones are naturally even more expensive.

Zhou Heng asked curiously, "Mom, how much did you pay for these three bottles of medicine?"

Zhou's mother appeared quite nonchalant: "Not much, just 30 billion Alliance Coins. The main reason is that your maternal grandfather owes that seventh-tier alchemist a favor because of this matter. If it were anyone else, a dignified seventh-tier alchemist would never personally concoct a fifth-tier potion."

Even a single bottle of a common Tier 5 top-grade potion, even if it's of perfect quality, would only cost around 2 billion, and three bottles would only cost 6 billion.

Three hundred billion is enough to buy a mid-grade sixth-tier magic weapon.

Generally speaking, potions are less expensive than magical artifacts of the same rank before the sixth rank. This situation only changes after the sixth rank.

However, the price of these three custom-made Tier 5 top-grade potions exceeded their original price.

But Zhou Heng felt it was a good deal: "It's really not expensive. Thank you, Mom, for asking Grandpa to specially order these three bottles of medicine for me."

It can directly increase the current level of Phoenix Azure Phoenix, Overturning Sea Silver Dragon, and Eternal Night Demon Dragon without any side effects. Even if it is only an increase of one level, it can save one or two months of effort.

This money was well spent.

Zhou's mother raised her eyebrows: "What are you thanking me for? You are our precious son, so of course we will do everything we can to support you."

Zhou Heng put the three bottles of potion into his storage watch: "I'll give these three custom-made potions to Jiuxiao, Feihong, and Tyrant later."

Mother Zhou suggested, "Actually, you could wait until they reach the ninth level of the third rank before giving them these three bottles of potion. That way, they can directly reach the tenth level of the third rank, and then you can focus on sprinting towards the fourth rank. After all, this type of potion will cause the beasts to develop strong drug resistance. At the third rank stage, giving them a similar potion a second time won't be of much use."

Zhou Heng shook his head: "I think it's better to give it to them now. The faster they can become stronger, the better. After all, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."

Mr. Zhou immediately said, "Since you've already made up your mind, we will naturally support you."

Zhou Heng smiled broadly: "Mom and Dad, you are truly the best parents in the entire universe."

Mr. Zhou deliberately asked, "Since we are the best parents in the entire universe, and we've given you so many gifts, what gift do you have in return for us?"

Zhou Heng immediately took out a bottle of light blue wine: "Dad, I know you like Qiongheng Barley Wine, this is something I bought especially for you."

Mr. Zhou took it and looked at it: "My good son is so thoughtful, he even knows what kind of wine I like to drink."

Qiongheng Lanke Wine is brewed using various third- and fourth-tier spiritual ingredients. Although it is not a true potion, its price is no lower than that of some third- and fourth-tier potions, and a bottle can sell for more than ten million yuan.

However, Zhou's father came from an extraordinary background and had seen all sorts of good things, so Qiongheng Orchid Wine was nothing special to him.

But this was a gift from Zhou Heng, and even if all Zhou Heng gave him was a two-yuan bottle of soda, he would still be very happy.

Then Zhou Heng took out a framed family photo, which showed his father, mother, and himself: "Mom, this is a hand-drawn family photo of me. It's my New Year's gift to you. I hope you like it."

"Thank you, my darling son! I'm so happy! My son has grown up so much; he can even draw now!"

Zhou's mother took the lifelike hand-drawn family portrait and admired it carefully: "This family portrait is so expressive! It's simply a work of art!"

Zhou's father also said, "My good son, you are a genius! You are not only talented in beast taming, but also in art. If you were more than 6,000 years ago, you would definitely be a great artist."

Zhou Heng waved his hand and said, "Mom and Dad, you're exaggerating."

Holding the family photo, Zhou's mother couldn't put it down: "Where's the exaggeration?"

Zhou Heng humbly replied, "I'm not as good as you all say."

Zhou's father patted Zhou Heng's head: "Who said that? In our hearts, you have always been the most outstanding one."

Afterwards, Zhou Heng chatted with his parents for a while longer.

After finishing his meal, he took the three bottles of custom-made medicine that Zhou's mother had given him and went to the back garden of the manor.

"唳~"

Sensing Zhou Heng's presence, the Phoenix Azure Phoenix immediately flew out of its silver nest, shrinking to a meter in size and letting out a joyful cry.

Zhou Heng held the phoenix-winged blue luan in his arms: "Jiuxiao, it's only been one night, and you already miss me this much?"

"唳~~唳~"

Fengyi and Qingluan affectionately rested their heads on Zhou Heng's shoulder.

Zhou Heng interacted with Feng Yi Qing Luan for a while, then placed the shrunken Feng Yi Qing Luan on the ground, and then summoned the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon.

"Ugh~" "Aww~"

With two dragon roars, the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon emerged, shrinking their size and each occupying a position alongside the Phoenix and Azure Phoenix, surrounding Zhou Heng.

After so much time spent getting used to each other, their relationship is no longer as tense as it was at the beginning; instead, they have come to acknowledge each other's existence.

Zhou Heng took out a white jade box: "Jiuxiao, Feihong, Tyrant, I have three bottles of potions here that can increase your levels. Come up one by one, and I will enhance your strength."

"Screech~" "Roar~~" "Awooo!"

The three beasts immediately started shoving each other.

Phoenix Azure Phoenix used its wings to push the Eternal Night Demon Dragon to the other side, while the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon tripped under Phoenix Azure Phoenix's claws with its tail. The Eternal Night Demon Dragon took the opportunity to bump its head against the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon.

Because their size has shrunk to about one or two meters, and they don't really fight when they're frolicking, they look like three miniature mythical beast babies playing around.

Zhou Heng watched from the side and found it extremely interesting.
