Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 1036: Ancient Dark Gold
Qiao Sang took it, opened it, and looked down, the sudden light almost blinded her.
She almost instinctively closed the bag.
“What is it?” Mi Jiala asked.
Qiao Sang’s expression was complex, she hesitated, then handed the bag to Teacher Mi Jiala, signaling her to look for herself.
What is it, so mysterious… Mi Jiala took it and opened it.
The next second, she quickly closed the bag.
“Are all these ancient nether gold given by Bao Wuwu?” Mi Jiala looked at Xiao Xunbao, took a deep breath, and asked.
So these were ancient nether gold… Only then did Qiao Sang understand what that almost blinding thing was, and her pupils couldn’t help but contract slightly, though they quickly returned to normal, her eyes still couldn’t hide the words “Holy cow.”
ancient nether gold is an extremely rare metal that can autonomously absorb energy favored by Ghost-type Pets and transfer it to the Ghost-type Pet carrying it. It also has good ductility, allowing it to be crafted into accessories and tools suitable for Ghost-type Pets.
Some Yu Beast Masters who are not short on money often buy accessories and tools made of ancient nether gold for their Ghost-type Pets and have them worn by the Ghost-type Pets.
It is said that Ghost-type Pets with ancient nether gold on them absorb energy at least five times faster than ordinary Ghost-type Pets.
One gram of ancient nether gold is worth approximately 150,000 alliance coins. How much would this much ancient nether gold be worth… Qiao Sang’s expression was dazed.
“Xiao Xunbao~” Xiao Xunbao nodded.
“When did it give it to you?” Qiao Sang asked impatiently.
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Xiao Xunbao called out, indicating that it was this morning before dawn, and it specifically said to wait until it left before showing it to her.
Could this ancient nether gold have been taken directly from a store specializing in rare ores… Qiao Sang recalled the time she asked Bao Wuwu to find treasures, and it found a Pet tool shop. Her heart pounded, and she hesitated, finally asking:
“Did it tell you where this came from?”
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Xiao Xunbao shook its head.
At this moment, Mi Jiala said:
“These were all dug from the ground.”
Qiao Sang was stunned: “Dug from the ground?”
“That’s right.” Mi Jiala nodded slightly: “The shapes of these ancient nether gold are very irregular. Although they have been washed, you can still tell they are wet and have some earthy smell. Moreover, ancient nether gold buried in the soil for a long time will oxidize on the surface under certain conditions, causing color changes. I just took a quick look, and some of the colors are only seen when they have been buried in the soil for years and oxidized.”
She knew so much just from opening the bag and taking a glance… Qiao Sang was extremely impressed.
Mi Jiala continued:
“This Bao Wuwu is very intelligent. After the previous incidents of asking it to find treasures, it probably realized that some things are useless even if found, so it specifically found treasures from the ground that no one knew about to give to you.”
Saying that, she handed the bag back.
Qiao Sang took the bag and was stunned, then took a deep breath. She was both emotional and touched, unable to suppress the joy on her face:
“That’s truly a great gift…”
With so much ancient nether gold, Xiao Xunbao’s energy absorption speed will definitely increase significantly. When it evolves into a King-level Pet in the future, it might really be able to slowly catch up to Ya Bao and Lu Bao.
Thinking of this, Qiao Sang tied the bag shut, handed it to Xiao Xunbao, and instructed:
“Keep it safe.”
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Xiao Xunbao also understood from its Yu Beast Master’s attitude that the contents of the bag were extraordinary, so it quickly took off its ring and chose a good spot to put it in.
“Xiao Xunbao?”
After putting away the ancient nether gold, Xiao Xunbao put the ring back on its head and curiously called out.
What is this shiny thing?
Qiao Sang explained: “It’s called ancient nether gold. It can make you absorb several times more energy than usual.”
After a pause, she added: “It can be made into things like necklaces or gloves to carry on you.”
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Xiao Xunbao was first stunned, then happily floated around above.
After the excitement, it suddenly thought of something, quieted down, and showed an expression of emotion and nostalgia.
Mi Jiala said:
“You don’t need to find a tool master. When we return to the Imperial Beast Academy, I’ll find a teacher from the Tool Academy to craft it for you.”
“Thank you, Teacher!” Qiao Sang quickly offered her thanks.
A tool master from the Imperial Academy, and a mentor at that, was incomparable to those tool masters outside.
Mi Jiala looked over and smiled:
“Don’t thank me so quickly. I’m just helping you make the contact; this will require points.”
Qiao Sang: “…”

One day later.
Youzhou.
Zhidia Ghost-type Ninth Research Institute.
Qiao Sang and Xiao Xunbao sat on the sofa, synchronously drinking tea poured by the Tea Shadow Pot.
“I didn’t expect you to encounter so many things in Xi Han City.” Zhang Taidong said with emotion, drinking tea on the single sofa next to them.
“I didn’t expect it either,” Qiao Sang said.
“So you really defeated an A-grade Beastmaster?” Zhang Taidong put down his teacup and asked.
Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, then nodded:
“It’s true.”
Even with mental preparation, Zhang Taidong’s heart still trembled violently.
If he had heard that a well-known B-level Beast Tamer had defeated an A-grade Beastmaster, he would certainly have scoffed, but since this B-level Beast Tamer was Qiao Sang, who won the Central Hollow Regional Competition at the age of 17, he felt that the credibility of this event was not entirely absent.
After all, she herself could not be viewed with common sense.
Seeing the other party looking at her with the same kind of look that people in the Central Hollow region looked at Qingbao, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but cough and explained how she defeated the A-grade Beastmaster.
Zhang Taidong immediately felt it was much more reasonable and exclaimed: “Then you also defeated an A-grade Beastmaster! You know, even with the same Pet, the strength varies greatly when commanded by Yu Beast Masters of different levels. I’ve never heard of a B-level Beast Tamer being able to defeat an A-grade Beastmaster.”
The matter of defeating an A-grade Beastmaster couldn’t be avoided… Qiao Sang changed the subject:
“Is there something you called me here for this time?”
As soon as she got off the plane, she received a message from Dr. Zhang inviting her to be a guest at the research institute.
“I heard about your affairs in Xi Han City from Senior Ren.” Zhang Taidong suddenly became serious: “Are you sure the eye you saw in Lost Town belongs to Mihei Ramu?”
“Yes,” Qiao Sang nodded: “My teacher said so.”
After a pause, she added: “She is a teacher at the Imperial Beast Academy.”
Zhang Taidong was silent for a long time, then solemnly said:
“Have you ever thought about staying in the Zhiya District in the future?”
Huh? Qiao Sang was stunned.
To be honest, she hadn’t thought about it at all…
“I won’t hide it from you. Actually, the fact that Mihei Ramu is in Lost Town is a secret.” Zhang Taidong said seriously: “However, it never actively appears before people. This time it appeared on its own initiative, which clearly means you have gained its favor. If you stay here and can build a good relationship with it, putting aside other things for now…”
As he said this, he looked at Xiao Xunbao, who was still drinking tea, and continued:
“The Ghost Ring King will definitely have a very good development.”
