Helping the Buisness

Combat played a crucial role in the development of spirit beasts. If spirit beasts had an experience bar for promotion, the experience gained from battles was considered at least twice as valuable as daily training. Many beastmasters reached the consensus that spirit beasts actively participating in battles tended to progress through realms more swiftly. The actual pace, of course, varied based on the individual spirit beast.

Driven by this consideration, Bai Zian decided to take his spirit beasts out for practical experience. Before embarking on this endeavor, he realized the need to gather sufficient fire nuclei. Given the potential time away from Bailin City during training, it was crucial to ensure an adequate supply of fire resources for the mutant red-winged crow cub.

Apart from this, Bai Zian had various other preparations to attend to. The most pressing matter was to secure more fire element resources. Having already utilized the resources available at home, he acknowledged the necessity of making additional purchases. However, he was aware that accumulating such resources would be time-consuming and costly, potentially straining the financial resources of the Bai family.

"Nevertheless, I've already brought home all the fire element resources available. Acquiring more will require purchases, a task that is both time-consuming and financially burdensome," Bai Zian mused. "It seems I need to find a way to contribute to the family's income."

Bai Zian had previously entertained the idea of generating income for the family. The mutant candle flame spider spirit beast egg, which he had brought home, was a step in that direction. Cultivating spirit beasts within the Bai family could potentially yield profits through the sale of materials or spirit beast cubs, establishing an industrial chain. However, Bai Zian recognized the time-intensive nature of spirit beast cultivation. In the short term, returns on such investments would be minimal.

To expedite the generation of income, Bai Zian needed an alternative approach. He pondered on the possibility of leveraging valuable items in his possession, considering the implications of using them. The [Eye of Apocalypse], which he possessed, held many powerful items, but Bai Zian was cautious about revealing them indiscriminately.

After some contemplation, Bai Zian decided to put his plan into action. He realized that one of his possessions, a unique medicinal liquid capable of enhancing the success rate of spirit beasts absorbing crystal core skills, could be a valuable asset. However, Bai Zian was concerned about the attention such a remarkable item might attract.

"Before revealing it, I must find a way to reduce the success rate of absorption," Bai Zian concluded. He sought to maintain a balance where the improvement in success rates was significant but not overtly conspicuous.

Utilizing the [Eye of Apocalypse], Bai Zian swiftly modified the medicinal liquid to achieve the desired effect. He opted for low-level materials and alternative methods of refinement, resulting in a moderate 10% improvement in success rates. Additionally, he added interfering materials to enhance the confidentiality of the liquid.

Once satisfied with the modifications, Bai Zian decided to consult his grandfather, Bai Jingchong, regarding the matter. He presented the refined medicinal liquid to Bai Jingchong, explaining its purpose and the potential benefits it could bring to the Bai family.

Bai Jingchong listened attentively and, upon grasping the significance of the medicinal liquid, expressed amazement. Bai Chengzhi and Lu Caiyun, Bai Zian's parents, were equally astounded upon learning about the extraordinary effects of their son's talent.

Despite Bai Zian attributing his discovery to his intuitive talent, Bai Jingchong found the situation somewhat peculiar. However, unable to identify any issues with Bai Zian's explanation, he chose to believe it.

Upon Bai Jingchong's suggestion, Bai Zian's parents joined the discussion. Together, they emphasized the need for utmost secrecy and family control over the medicinal liquid's application. Concerns about potential leaks and misuse prompted a thorough discussion, eventually leading to a consensus on handling this newfound asset.

Bai Zian decided to discuss his plan with his parents before setting out on the journey. One evening, he gathered with Bai Jingchong, Bai Chengzhi, and Lv Caiyun in the family's living room.

"Mom, Dad, Grandpa, I've decided to explore the Hunting Banana Grove for a period. It's a place with a unique environment, potentially hosting gold-level spirit beasts and evolved forms," Bai Zian began, his eyes reflecting a mix of excitement and determination.

Bai Jingchong raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Hunting Banana Grove? That's not a place we hear about often. What makes you want to explore there?"

Bai Zian explained, "It's a location with various gold-level spirit beasts, and it aligns with the training needs of the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish and the mutant red-winged crow cub. I believe it's an opportunity for both of them to grow significantly."

Bai Chengzhi, concerned about his son's safety, questioned, "But, Zian, aren't gold-level spirit beasts dangerous? What if you encounter one?"

Bai Zian nodded, acknowledging the potential risks. "I'm aware of the risks, Dad. However, the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish has become quite powerful, and I'm confident in our abilities. Besides, encountering a gold-level spirit beast is a rare opportunity for growth."

Lv Caiyun, though anxious, expressed her support. "Zian, your safety is our priority, but if you believe this is the right path for your spirit beasts, we trust your judgment. Just promise to be cautious."

Bai Zian appreciated his parents' concern and nodded, "I promise, Mom. I'll take all necessary precautions. I've been preparing for this journey, gathering supplies and ensuring we have what we need."

Bai Jingchong, seeing the determination in his grandson's eyes, finally spoke, "Zian, exploring unknown territories is part of a beastmaster's journey. Your ambition and strategic thinking have impressed me. Just remember to stay vigilant and return safely. We'll be eagerly awaiting your return with tales of your adventures."

With the family's blessings and understanding, Bai Zian felt a surge of gratitude. The next day, he bid farewell to his family and embarked on his journey to the Hunting Banana Grove
