Under the influence of the [Eye of Apocalypse], the data of the three spirit beast eggs instantly appeared in front of Bai Zian.

"This is... the heir of the leader of the mutant candle flame spider? It has also mutated."

"Or, the mutation of the mutant candle flame spider leader has been completely stabilized and has become a brand new spider race."

"It's interesting, I didn't expect the mutant spirit beast to have such a result."

Bai Zian felt a surge of emotions. The offspring of the mutant candle flame spider leader had exceeded the boundaries of the candle flame spider, evolving into a new type of spirit beast. This was a significant gain for Bai Zian, holding the potential for enormous benefits for the Bai family.

If these spirit beast eggs could be used to cultivate a new species directly, it would bring substantial advantages to the Bai family. Bai Zian decided to ask Bai Shao to send these eggs back to Bailin City. However, before doing so, he had one more matter to address.

"How do you feel about this trip to Candle Volcano?" Bai Zian turned to Qiaogubai beside him.

"The candle volcano is too dangerous, not something I can easily set foot on. For me, the road of a beastmaster is too difficult," Qiao Gubai responded slowly.

To be honest, she wouldn't have reached this point if she hadn't been with Bai Zian.

"The road to being a beastmaster is indeed challenging, but with enough support, you can overcome it. Qiaogubai, would you be willing to be my subordinate, follow me, and let me help you in your practice?" Bai Zian revealed his true purpose after laying the groundwork for a while.

Qiaogubai was surprised by the unexpected recruitment. Spending time with Bai Zian had made her realize his uniqueness. Alone in the candle volcano, he possessed a beast with great potential, and his accomplishments were beyond ordinary. Bai Zian's offer surprised her; what value did she have that Bai Zian sought?

Qiao Gubai felt a mix of excitement and suspicion. After a little consideration, she agreed, "Okay, I'd like to be by your side."

Bai Zian assured her, "Trust me, in the future, you will never regret your choice. Let me introduce myself again; I am Bai Zian, from the Bai family in Bailin City."

Qiao Gubai, recognizing the Bai family's name, particularly Bai Jingchong, the Diamond Beastmaster City Lord, felt a sense of relief. "Well, as you understand it, welcome to join the Bai family," Bai Zian welcomed her.

To further make Qiao Gubai comfortable with her decision, Bai Zian offered her a gift. He presented three red spirit beast eggs, descendants of the mutated candle flame spider leader, with the potential to reach gold level.

"Pick a spirit beast egg, contract it, and let it become your pet beast," Bai Zian suggested warmly.

Qiaogubai's pet beast, a stone trypanosome, had limited growth potential, capping at the bronze level at best. Such a modest growth wasn't commensurate with her talent for beast fighting. Bai Zian, having recently acquired three spirit beast eggs of the mutated candle flame spider, decided to offer one to Qiaogubai.

This idea struck Bai Zian just after obtaining the spirit beast eggs, but he had held off mentioning it until now, as he hadn't completely won Qiaogubai over. As for Bai Zian himself, he was on the brink of reaching the black iron level, which would enable him to contract a second beast. However, he wasn't keen on contracting the mutant candle flame spider eggs. Despite its excellence, the gold-level potential of the mutant candle flame spider paled in comparison to Bai Zian's first pet, the White Scale Fish, with its triple talents and king-level potential.

Bai Zian considered the mutant candle flame spider suitable as a reward for his subordinates. Therefore, he generously offered the eggs to Qiaogubai. Excited by this unexpected benefit, Qiaogubai couldn't believe her luck – a chance to contract a gold-level spirit beast and potentially become a golden beastmaster.

"Do you want to contract the spirit beast eggs of the mutant candle flame spider?" Bai Zian inquired, snapping her back to reality.

"Thank you, I will definitely repay you well," Qiaogubai responded, her excitement evident.

Unlike before, this time Qiaogubai did not refuse. The temptation of gold-level spirit beast eggs was too great, and her new identity as Bai Zian's subordinate further fueled her acceptance.

"I was born with good luck; I directly picked a spirit beast egg with the best qualifications," Bai Zian mused as he observed Qiaogubai pick one of the three mutant candle flame spider spirit beast eggs.

The eggs varied in potential, with the one chosen by Qiaogubai boasting top gold-level potential. Bai Zian marveled at her fortune but kept his thoughts to himself. Qiaogubai, overjoyed, immediately contracted the mutant candle flame spider spirit beast egg. However, as she hadn't yet reached the black iron level, she needed to break the original contract with her stone trypanosome.

Bai Zian silently observed Qiaogubai's choice, acknowledging it as a reflection of her character. Qiaogubai opted for the first method – forcibly breaking the contract and releasing the stone trypanosome. Although it subjected her to significant backlash, Bai Zian appreciated her humane approach.

After some recovery, Qiaogubai completed the contract with the mutant candle flame spider spirit beast egg, stowing it in her beast-preserving space. With this matter settled, Bai Zian declared, "Okay, the matter here is over, and it's time for us to leave the candle volcano." His purpose, training the White Scale Fish, was accomplished, and now it was time to return to Bailin City to prepare for the fish's first evolution.
