You were given the ability to tame beasts, not to become a god-level breeder.

"This is Cangwu Spirit Heart Wood, a rare wood resource on par with Moonlight Ore."

"Five additional auxiliary materials for the evolution of the Spirit Needle Pine Tree."

"Currently, it is suspected that there is another evolutionary path for the pine tree."

"My advice is not to rush the evolution of the Spirit Needle Pine, but to wait and see if another evolutionary form can be researched."

"Keep the resources for now. If the other evolutionary form doesn't make any breakthrough progress for a long time, I'll tell you the detailed evolutionary process."

"If it is indeed researched and found to be even stronger than the Spirit Mist Pine Tree, the government will open up quotas to those who possess the Spirit Needle Pine Tree."

Zhuang Zhenyu attended to every detail, no matter how small, with a simple wave of his hand.

Seven precious resources flew to Jiang Fan's side.

Has the government discovered another evolutionary form of the Spirit Needle Pine?

Jiang Fan thought to himself, "I can't underestimate others."

The Spirit Needle Pine has two evolutionary forms: the Spirit Mist Pine and the Lesser Enlightenment Tree.

As its name suggests, the Lesser Enlightenment Tree is an incredibly prestigious evolutionary form, and its abilities are likely no weaker than those of the Spirit Mist Pine Tree.

Jiang Fan glanced at the panel; his Beast Taming Points had reached over 90,000 and were about to reach 100,000.

Try increasing the progress by one percent.

The number of Beast Taming Points consumed in the evolutionary path indicates the strength of that evolutionary form.

Strength and weakness refer not only to combat power, but also to resource output and other factors.

The more Beast Points required for 1% progress, the stronger the evolutionary form!

[Insufficient beast control points! 】

Looking at the prompts on the panel, Jiang Fan felt a surge of shock.

I rely on!

Nearly 100,000 Beast Taming Points couldn't even advance the Little Enlightenment Tree by one percent.

Just how extraordinary is this little enlightenment tree?!

Surprised, Jiang Fan was secretly delighted.

The more extraordinary the Enlightenment Tree, the better, since I already have the resources.

If the government can't research the Lesser Enlightenment Tree, you can accumulate Beast Taming Points to max out the progress yourself.

If the government can figure it out, then we can save a lot of beast-taming points.

It might be troublesome to get the evolution path of the Lesser Enlightenment Tree from the government, but it doesn't cost Beast Taming Points, so it's actually more cost-effective.

"Thank you, Master!"

Jiang Fan snapped out of his daze and didn't immediately accept the resources.

Instead, he immediately expressed his gratitude, his tone sincere and heartfelt.

Jiang Fan only reached out his hand after Zhuang Zhenyu nodded.

Upon touching the resource, the spiritual energy within the body flowed into the spatial ring. With a thought, the moonstone in the palm of the hand vanished into thin air.

After expending his mental energy, Jiang Fan was able to sense the extra moonstones inside the spatial ring.

Jiang Fan found it novel and put the remaining resources into his spatial ring one by one.

If Zhuang Zhenyu hadn't been there, he would have repeatedly taken things out of his spatial ring and put things back in.

"Master, aren't you being a little too biased?"

At this moment, Fang Cunxing finally couldn't hold back any longer and said in a hoarse voice.

"Where does this accusation of favoritism come from?"

Hearing Fang Cunxing speak, Zhuang Zhenyu breathed a sigh of relief.

His apprentice...

Although he had the least talent, he was also the most hardworking.

He has a rather honest and simple personality.

Zhuang Zhenyu prides himself on his upright conduct and values ​​each of his apprentices highly.

It's not that I'm afraid Fang Cunxing will question me angrily, but I'm afraid that Fang Cunxing will keep everything to himself and remain silent.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan dared not speak, and instead gave a silent, mocking laugh.

After all, the return gift given by the master was indeed far too extravagant.

"My return gift to Jiang Fan was first a gold-grade spatial ring, which even I don't have, and then an automatic meditation device, whose value is no less than that of the spatial ring!"

"Master, you have also given your junior brother seven resources."

"Why did I only have one Black Collar Bull of Gold quality back then?!"

Fang Cunxing's eyes reddened, and he questioned Zhuang Zhenyu like a child who had lost his favor.

Black-collared cow?

It's yet another kind of beast I've never heard of.

The Beast Taming Compendium records a large number of tamed beasts, and Jiang Fan hasn't finished reading it yet.

However, given the current tense atmosphere, Jiang Fan couldn't possibly open his phone and search for the Black Collared Bull in the Beast Taming Encyclopedia app in front of his master and senior brothers.

"The Black Collared Bull has no combat ability, but it can produce Black Spirit Soil."

"Tell me, how much profit does your large orchard generate each year from the black soil?"

"How many unique resources and connections have you acquired in exchange for the Black Spirit Soil?"

"Cunxing, ask yourself honestly, without Black Collar Bull, could you have achieved what you have today? Could you have such a large breeding base here?"

Zhuang Zhenyu spoke earnestly.

"But how can a black-collared cow compare to..."

"Alright, I'll tell you, there are currently no more than a thousand black-collared cattle in our country."

"When I gave you the Black Collared Cattle, there were only one hundred of them in the entire country."

"Do you know how many favors I used to get this black-collared cow?!"

"Yes, there are more Black Collared Cattle now, which greatly increases the development of the region, but you can't deny or fail to recognize the value of Black Collared Cattle in the first place."

Zhuang Zhenyu didn't offer much in return.

After all, the black-collared cow was stolen from Old Li the Dog.

Zero cost, free.

"..."

Fang Cunxing was speechless. After listening to Zhuang Zhenyu's words, he immediately felt that the black-collared cow was indeed no less valuable than the return gift his master gave to Jiang Fan.

After a long pause, he managed to say, "But my junior brother hasn't achieved much yet, and you've already given him so many gifts in return."

"You really asked for trouble."

"Your junior brother's talent is no match for yours. He just completed the Little Electric Wolf's new evolution form all by himself right under my nose."

"He deserves these return gifts."

Zhuang Zhenyu narrowed his eyes and tossed Fang Cunxing a test data sheet for the Thunder Prison Wolf King.

"Wolf King level, Thunder Prison Wolf King!"

"Junior brother, did you really figure this out?"

Fang Cunxing quickly took the test data sheet, and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets after reading it.

"Um."

Jiang Fan nodded.

"hiss!"

"I see."

Fang Cunxing gasped, his competitive thoughts vanishing instantly.

He finally understood why his master had accepted Jiang Fan as his disciple.

At the age of eighteen, he independently developed the evolutionary form of the Little Electric Wolf Thunder Prison Wolf King.

It can only be said that the master was lucky to meet Jiang Fan early and take him as his disciple.

When other top-tier trainers found out, even those who didn't intend to take on any more apprentices would immediately change their minds.

Given Jiang Fan's remarkable talent for nurturing, it was perfectly reasonable for his master to give him those return gifts.

"snort!"

"Don't say that your teacher doesn't take care of you or care about you."

"The task I assigned you the month before last was to extract the spiritual patterns from the Fujiang Fruit within a month, but you took two months to do so, so the platinum-grade space ring I was planning to give you is gone."

"How's your progress in advancing to Level 5 Trainer this month?"

Seeing Fang Cunxing's relief, Zhuang Zhenyu rolled up his sleeves and gave Fang Cunxing a flick on the forehead.

"It's still under research, but it's already in the practical application stage."

"It's just that I failed twenty-three times last night and this morning."

"It will definitely be completed before the end of the month."

Fang Cunxing winced in pain, clutching the spot where he had been hit, but a smile remained on his face.

Platinum-tier spatial ring!

It turns out that the master also cared about him, but he was unable to complete the teacher's assignment within the time limit.

If you don't get the homework reward, you can't blame anyone else.

"Yes, diligence can make up for lack of talent."

"I'll have someone deliver the ring to you when I get back."

Upon hearing Zhuang Zhenyu's words, Fang Cunxing's smile widened.

Jiang Fan, however, was inwardly astonished.

Be nice.

This is a hands-on exercise that lasts all night long, Senior Brother Fang.

While diligence can make up for lack of talent, failing 23 times in a row in actual practice is still quite terrifying.

Fortunately, I have a control panel. As long as the progress is 100%, the actual operation cannot fail and will definitely be a success on the first try.

If Jiang Fan's inner thoughts were to get out, it would surely make all the trainers so angry that they couldn't sleep or eat.

Successfully completed the practical exercise on the first try?

Please, please turn it off!

[Let's talk about it. The book's data isn't very good, which is also related to the fact that the cat's writing is more slice-of-life. Those who know slice-of-life stories will understand.]

This book focuses on breeders, not beast tamers. So far, the plot hasn't introduced any villains or forced reversals. The author is also working hard to construct the economic system and other aspects, and at least for now, the author believes it hasn't fallen apart. Black Iron-level resources cost around 3,000, Bronze-level resources cost around 30,000, and Silver-level resources cost around 100,000, so ordinary people can afford to evolve their beast tamers and purchase resources.

Zhou Lingding spent 30 million to upgrade the Moon Fox and Bell Cat to the eighth level of Black Iron because he temporarily changed his beast tamer, using money to buy time.

Cat believes that in a novel about beast taming that focuses on the breeder, the main plot will definitely revolve around the research on beast taming and the combat scenes of the tamed beasts (shown through the supporting characters). The interaction, battles, and exploration between the protagonist and the tamed beasts will occupy a small portion in the early stages, and will increase significantly in the later stages of the book.

Additionally, I request everyone's help in brainstorming ideas for cats, including good beast taming, skills, combination skills, and resource-producing beast taming. Please post these in book reviews so that cats can easily refer to them. Posting them in the book's paragraphs will make them less visible to cats.

After all, the cat is imitating Jiang Fan. It reads all the comments praising me, but doesn't read any of the criticisms (haha, just kidding, the cat will definitely read and adopt useful criticisms).

Of course, don't post anything about time or space right now. Don't bring up things like time rewinding or teleporting thousands of miles. That would be a complete game-changer in the early stages.

Lastly, I hope everyone will refrain from keeping the book unfinished and instead follow the updates frequently. I want to write this cat story as long as possible, over a million words, and I need everyone's support. Thank you so much!
