Chapter 324: Cultivating a Limited Pet

“There’s nowhere to buy it. There are only five known jin yang fruit. Four have been used for research, and the other one is in the Great Elder’s hands.”

After Chu Kuangsheng gave Mingxi hope, he then unhesitatingly gave her despair.

Mingxi: “......”

“Then why did you even mention it?!”

Shen Linhua gave Chu Kuangsheng a direct glare, standing up for Mingxi.

Mingxi nodded secretly. Really, it would have been better not to know.

Losing a beloved person probably wouldn't be this agonizing, right?

Chu Kuangsheng ignored Shen Linhua, suddenly placed his large hand on Mingxi's head, and rubbed it just like she usually rubs Lan Yue's little head.

Thankfully, he only rubbed once.

Otherwise, Mingxi’s fists would have been hard too.

“Xiao Zaizi, as long as you successfully defend the throne until the end and accumulate 2000 points, I guarantee you’ll have as many jin yang fruit as you want!”

Mingxi paused slightly. She narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing the man in front of her: “Instructor, what is the ultimate purpose of this Joint Training Camp?”

Chu Kuangsheng revealed his mysterious smile once more, “You will know.”

“Alright, all in all, Reversion Coexistence truly only benefits you. You don't need to worry about it too much for now.”

He didn't ask Mingxi under what circumstances she was Reversion Coexisted, nor by what Transcendent creature she was coexisted with.

It involved personal privacy, and their relationship wasn't that deep.

He turned and sat back in his chair, “You did an excellent job with Ji Gang’s matter this time. I and the other instructors have already discussed it and will specially reward you with 60 points.

Additionally, Shen Linhua will submit the Beastmaster Association task, but the task bonus will be fully transferred to your account then.

If it’s less than ten million star coins, it’s definitely because that kid Shen Linhua secretly pocketed it. If that happens, you come and tell me, and I’ll beat him to death!”

Seeing him change the subject, Mingxi knew that the matter of the jin yang fruit was not open for discussion.

She didn't continue to dig for answers.

Following his words, she asked curiously, “Isn’t it only five million?”

She remembered that the B-Grade task regarding Ji Gang on the Beastmaster Association only rewarded five million star coins.

At this point, Shen Linhua rolled his eyes and said, “Given Ji Gang’s strength, this capture task should have been elevated to A-Grade, or even S-Grade, a long time ago.

You know, even I almost lost my life!

Moreover, the information provided by the Beastmaster Association was incorrect, indicating serious dereliction of duty.

Chu Datou and I suspect that the higher-ups of the Beastmaster Association were bribed by Ji Gang; otherwise, this task would not have remained on the B-Grade task board.

Isn't that just setting people up for failure?

So we have already submitted a complaint to the Alliance Investigation Team. This task will definitely be upgraded, and the bonus certainly won't be only five million.”

So that’s how it was.

Mingxi also felt that there might indeed be something fishy about this matter.

“Then, when the time comes, we’ll split the bonus evenly; you don’t need to give it all to me.”

Mingxi wouldn't refuse money, but she also didn't plan to take advantage.

Although without her timely rescue, Shen Linhua would likely have died, without Shen Linhua, she absolutely could not have directly confronted Ji Gang.

She knew her own capabilities.

In front of A-Grade and B-Grade Beast Tamers, she was actually just a small fry.

The reason she was able to go on a rampage in the throne challenges these past few days was twofold.

Firstly, she had a cheat; all target individuals and target pet beasts had been debugged in advance using the combat simulation room.

Secondly, apart from Luo Yang’s Ghost Face Vicious Bear, she primarily challenged those whose strength was one level higher than Golden Yuanbao and the others.

Two levels higher?

Heh, she really wasn't that brave.

Thirdly, regarding the challenge time, she deliberately chose to go on a rampage late at night. There was indeed the reason that she only had those few hours free.

But the true intention was to break the challenged instructors' defenses.

Sometimes, emotions can affect performance.

Anger, fatigue, exhaustion, etc., these are all natural negative states.

So, in fact, challenging above one's level is never easy; it always involves careful calculation and clever planning.

Not to mention a terrifying setup like Ji Gang's.

Without Shen Linhua, she absolutely couldn't have pulled it off!

“No, no, Little Mingxi, don’t listen to Chu Datou’s nonsense; that’s an insult to my character.”

Shen Linhua waved his hand, his smile as refreshing as a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy's:

“You are my lifesaver. Let alone a mere ten or twenty million, even if I gave you another one or two hundred million, it wouldn’t be enough to express my gratitude.”

As Shen Linhua spoke, he began to pull things out of his spatial artifact.

“You went into the Yin Mist Zone late at night for yin mist stone, right? These are what I collected while hiding in the Yin Mist Zone these past few days, with nothing else to do.

There isn't much, please don't be disgusted.”

Mingxi looked at the small mountain of yin mist stone piled in front of her.

“Not much?”

She once again had a profound realization of her poverty.

If this was considered little, then what were the things she had collected these past few days?

Trace elements?

“They’re useless to him anyway.”

Chu Kuangsheng made the decision again.

He also started pulling things out of his spatial artifact.

It was nothing else.

It was precisely the 99 yin mist stone that Mingxi had ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) just handed in not long ago.

He stacked them onto the small mountain, mixing them together.

“To reward your performance tonight, I’ll personally add a portion as well. You can put them away now.”

Mingxi: “......”

She hadn't realized it, but Chu Yanwang was quite the penny-pincher.

You've really mastered the art of giving with someone else's generosity.

Shen Linhua, seeing this scene, also rolled his eyes vigorously.

Chu Kuangsheng didn't seem to think of himself as stingy; his expression was calm, and after a moment's thought, he said,

“There’s something, it’s not a strict requirement, and it might be a bit harsh on you, but I still hope you can raise Lei Yan Yu Huang’s strength to its limit before the New Year.”

Chu Kuangsheng’s tone was very serious.

Mingxi’s mouth dropped open.

Limit-grade pet beast.

She was currently D-Grade, which meant Golden Yuanbao not only had to evolve to Shi-level but also had to increase its energy value to five million.

And the deadline was before the New Year, less than five months away?

Mingxi really wanted to retort: “Instructor, you really have no idea how crazy you sound. Where is this requirement harsh? It should be called 'Yan Ke' instead.”

Only a King of Hell on drugs would have the nerve to say that!

I think you’re not ‘sharpening the tool’ but rather destroying humanity!

Crazy!

Shen Linhua also felt that his best friend had gone crazy!

“Chu Datou, are you alright?!

How old is Little Mingxi? You want her to cultivate a pet beast to the mid-Shi-level in half a year?

Do you even hear yourself? Is that a human thing to say?”

Mingxi silently gave Shen Linhua 32 thumbs up.

Thank you, my mouthpiece!

Chu Kuangsheng, who had been sprayed in the face, calmly wiped his face: “I said it’s not a strict requirement, just a personal wish of mine. Is that not allowed?”

Shen Linhua continued to roll his eyes: “No, it’s not! You have to toss a coin into a wishing well to make a wish, but you, kid, just blurt it out!”

Mingxi silently lowered her gaze.

She always felt that,

Chu Kuangsheng’s tone just now didn't sound like a mere wish.

He was very serious.

So why must it be a limit-grade pet beast?

Mingxi fell into deep thought.
