Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 1128: True Bird and True Fire Crystal (two in one)
“Colored Flower Bud Shalala? Colored Flower Bud Shalala?!” Mi Jiala’s pupils constricted.
She shot up, her eyes filled with shock and bewilderment, staring in disbelief at the Pet whose appearance had suddenly changed so drastically.
Colored Flower Bud Shalala!
It really was Colored Flower Bud Shalala!
The legendary Colored Flower Bud Shalala, capable of bringing all things back to life and even extending one’s lifespan!
This, this… Mi Jiala could no longer control her expression, revealing a clearly shocked and bewildered look as she gazed at Qiao Sang.
“Mog Mog?!” Hearing the conversation, Dragon King also stopped his melancholy, walked over, and with a look of astonishment, stared at Colored Flower Bud Shalala, calling out.
On Yan Tian Star, any Pet with even a slight understanding of history had heard of Colored Flower Bud Shalala, and Dragon King was no exception.
It never expected that its Yu Beast Master’s student would actually bring Colored Flower Bud Shalala!
“Shasha.”
Colored Flower Bud Shalala politely greeted Dragon King.
“Mog Mog…”
Dragon King froze for a moment, instinctively straightened its posture, and nodded at it.
“You, you…” Mi Jiala looked at Qiao Sang and Colored Flower Bud Shalala, momentarily speechless.
“It’s just seeing an Illusion Beast, Teacher is a bit too excited…” Qiao Sang rarely saw her lose her composure like this, and couldn’t help but say, “Teacher, why don’t you sit down first.”
Mi Jiala then realized her失态, took a deep breath, sat back down, and asked in as calm a tone as possible:
“What exactly is going on? Why are you carrying Colored Flower Bud Shalala?”
As she spoke, her gaze couldn’t help but drift back to Colored Flower Bud Shalala, and the previous thought once again surfaced in her mind:
It really is Colored Flower Bud Shalala…
Even now, she still found it somewhat hard to believe that Colored Flower Bud Shalala had just appeared before her.
“It’s like this…” Qiao Sang immediately recounted Colored Flower Bud Shalala’s request at the gathering, and how Tenth Seat had asked her to take Colored Flower Bud Shalala out to play.
“Shasha.”
Colored Flower Bud Shalala listened, then nodded, indicating that was indeed the case.
Mi Jiala was like a statue, unmoving for a long time, her expression dazed.
After a while, she murmured, “You mean, Tenth Seat asked Colored Flower Bud Shalala to go out and play with you?”
Qiao Sang hummed in affirmation, then, as if remembering something, said with a rather excited tone:
“Tenth Seat also said that as long as I take good care of Colored Flower Bud Shalala, when I leave Yan Tian Star, I can make one request to it.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Dragon King’s eyes lit up, and it looked over with a deeply affectionate gaze.
Qiao Sang’s scalp tingled from Dragon King’s gaze, and she silently shifted her eyes, not allowing herself to meet its gaze.
Mi Jiala fell silent, no longer speaking, slowly digesting these incredibly impactful pieces of news.
“Teacher?” Seeing Mi Jiala silent for a long time, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but call out.
Mi Jiala seemed to awaken, looking at Qiao Sang with an extremely complex expression, and said, “Take good care of Colored Flower Bud Shalala.”
“Of course,” Qiao Sang promised.
“Shasha!”
Seeing that the human in front of it had also accepted it, Colored Flower Bud Shalala showed a happy expression, jumped to the ground, and began to play with Qingbao and the others.
Mi Jiala stared at Colored Flower Bud Shalala’s back, her expression once again falling into a daze.
“Oh, there’s one more thing,” Qiao Sang said.
Mi Jiala’s expression hardened, and she adopted a serious listening posture, as if to say, ‘I can handle anything you tell me.’
“For Yabao’s evolution to the Emperor-level stage, the only item I know of is li fire crystal,” Qiao Sang said.
“And li fire crystal is produced from Liousias.
Liousias is a legendary Pet on Yan Tian Star, and I saw that it didn’t attend this gathering.”
“If I leave Yan Tian Star, I think there might not be any chance to obtain this item, so I want to seriously search for li fire crystal while I’m on Yan Tian Star.”
The possibility of obtaining a product of a legendary Pet on the very planet where that Pet resides is already slim, let alone after leaving that planet.
Only on Yan Tian Star would she have a certain chance of obtaining li fire crystal.
So that’s what she was talking about… Mi Jiala inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Of course, I’ll help you search for li fire crystal.”
She paused, then began to explain:
“As for true fire crystal and tai yang jing (sun crystal), one is a feather shed from a Zhendai Bird.
As soon as its feathers fall, they turn into crystals, also known as true fire crystal.
tai yang jing (sun crystal) are crystallized remnants of flame-like meteorites that fall from Yan Tian Star’s sun periodically.”
As expected of Teacher Mi Jiala, she really knows everything… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly, then asked:
“Is Zhendai Bird also a Pet of Yan Tian Star?”
Two of the three materials were from Yan Tian Star, so she reasonably suspected the third was as well.
Sure enough, Mi Jiala nodded:
“That’s right, it’s a dual-attribute Emperor-level Pet of the Fire-type and Flying-type in the Dragon Kingdom of Yan Tian Star.”
Just Emperor-level, no wonder I didn’t see it in the books about rare Pets on Yan Tian Star… Qiao Sang felt a lot more relaxed upon hearing this.
She had just met Tenth Seat, and at the gathering, she had seen legendary Pets, Illusion Beasts, ancient Pets, and other super rare Pets.
The only evolution material she knew of, li fire crystal, was from the legendary Pet Liousias, so as soon as she heard that true fire crystal was only a product from an Emperor-level Pet, she felt the difficulty of obtaining it plummeted.
“Then what about next…” Qiao Sang looked at Teacher Mi Jiala with expectant eyes, hoping she could give guidance on which material to search for first.
Mi Jiala thought for a moment, then said:
“Let’s go to the Dragon Kingdom first.
The Dragon Kingdom of Yan Tian Star is also vast and rich in resources, with many fun places.
We can take Colored Flower Bud Shalala to play there.”
Qiao Sang: “???”
Mi Jiala noticed Qiao Sang’s gaze, coughed, and added:
“We can also look for true fire crystal along the way.”
Looking for true fire crystal is just along the way… Qiao Sang’s expression became strange.
Teacher Mi Jiala is very unusual towards Colored Flower Bud Shalala…
The conversation about Yabao’s evolution path continued from day to dusk, and Mi Jiala showed no signs of wanting to leave the entire time.
Qiao Sang looked at the darkening sky outside the window, and finally couldn’t help but say:
“Aren’t you going to rest?”
She remembered that Teacher Mi Jiala had been time-stopped by Tenth Seat for an entire day.
Mi Jiala was silent for a moment, then stood up and said:
“Then I’ll…”
“Shasha?”
Before she could finish speaking, Colored Flower Bud Shalala noticed them, turned its head, and called out, indicating if they were leaving.
Mi Jiala looked at Colored Flower Bud Shalala, then abruptly changed the subject, surveying the room’s layout, and said:
“I see this is a suite, so there should be another bed.
How about I just sleep here?”
With that, she took a step, preparing to walk to another room to sleep.
“Mog Mog!”
Dragon King called out, indicating that it also wanted to rest here.
Having said that, it flew onto the sofa, not closing its eyes, but staring intently at Qiao Sang.
Qiao Sang: “…”
It seemed that Teacher Mi Jiala and Dragon King would both be staying in the same room as her from now on…
“Gangqiu.”
As thoughts flickered, Steel Treasure called out in Colored Flower Bud Shalala’s direction, indicating that they needed to rest and to play more quietly.
“Shasha…”
Colored Flower Bud Shalala, who was happily playing with Qingbao and the others, felt a little down for a moment, then obediently nodded.
As an S-Class Beast Master, Mi Jiala had amazing eyesight and clearly saw Colored Flower Bud Shalala’s emotional change.
She suddenly stopped and said, “I’ve thought about it, and I’ll still go back to my own room to rest.”
After speaking, she glanced in Pen Jiami’s direction, and then used her eyes to gesture towards Dragon King’s direction.
Pen Jiami understood, and blue light glowed in its eyes.
The next second, it disappeared from the room, taking Mi Jiala and Dragon King, who was still staring affectionately at Qiao Sang from the sofa, with it.
Qiao Sang and Steel Treasure exchanged a knowing glance.
…
The next day, the weather was clear.
“Xiao Dai Guo (Little Dull Fruit)” opened the window, breathed in the fresh air, and showed a comfortable expression.
Outside the window, a bird-type Pet about two meters tall with brightly colored feathers suddenly stopped in mid-air and looked over.
“Sha…” Seeing this, Colored Flower Bud Shalala waved its claws, wanting to greet it friendly, but then immediately remembered yesterday’s instructions, only called out once, then closed its mouth, though its claws continued to wave.
Suddenly, the brightly feathered bird-type Pet transformed into a white light and swooped down towards “Xiao Dai Guo (Little Dull Fruit)’s” direction.
“Xiao Dai Guo (Little Dull Fruit)” froze for a moment.
Immediately after, it was pulled back by a force.
The brightly feathered bird-type Pet paused at the window for a look, then flapped its wings and left as if nothing had happened.
Qiao Sang held Colored Flower Bud Shalala, and with a look of lingering fear, said:
“Why did you greet it? That’s an Eater Parrot, it likes to eat fruit-type Grass-type Pets.”
Colored Flower Bud Shalala froze, then remembered its current transformed appearance, and showed a Stun expression:
“Shasha!”
Perhaps what Steel Treasure said yesterday was right… Qiao Sang looked at Colored Flower Bud Shalala’s slow reaction and couldn’t help but ask:
“How old are you exactly?”
“Shasha…”
This time, Colored Flower Bud Shalala didn’t refuse to answer, but instead called out rather shyly.
“Qingqing.”
Qingbao floated over, called out, and helped translate.
It said it didn’t know its exact age, only that it could currently only revive a small area of flowers and plants.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang thought to herself that Colored Flower Bud Shalala must truly be very young.
Last night, she had specifically looked up information about Colored Flower Bud Shalala again.
Illusion Beasts are born with some magical abilities, but not all Illusion Beasts can perfectly utilize their abilities from birth.
Illusion Beasts don’t need to specifically seek out rare treasures to improve themselves; they only need to live, to live for a long time, and their inherent abilities will become stronger.
If an Illusion Beast forcibly uses some of its abilities before fully maturing, it will suffer side effects, either falling into a deep sleep, reverting to an egg or cocoon form to await its next revival, or directly dissipating into the world.
Of course, the latter is somewhat severe, but it was indeed recorded in books.
In short, the longer an Illusion Beast lives, the stronger its inherent abilities become.
Colored Flower Bud Shalala can currently only revive a small area of flowers and plants, which is far from the legendary ability to revive all things, indicating its pitifully young age.
“If you’re going to be in the form of Xiao Dai Guo (Little Dull Fruit) in the future, stay away from Eater Parrots,” Qiao Sang said, collecting her thoughts.
“Shasha.”
Colored Flower Bud Shalala nodded seriously.
“Ting Ting…”
Xiaoting Dragon watched its Yu Beast Master holding another Pet from the side, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
If it remembered correctly, this Pet named Colored Flower Bud Shalala wasn’t even contracted yet…
Thinking this, it moved its body and climbed onto its Yu Beast Master’s neck, declaring its presence.
However, Colored Flower Bud Shalala didn’t notice this scene; it had already jumped to the ground, went to another windowsill, breathed in the fresh air, and looked at the scenery.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Xiao Xunbao Space Movemented to the door, stuck its entire head out to look, then opened the door.
“Mog Mog!”
Dragon King greeted eagerly as it walked in impatiently.
Following closely behind were Mi Jiala and Pen Jiami.
Upon entering, Mi Jiala’s gaze immediately fixated on Colored Flower Bud Shalala.
Qiao Sang turned, somewhat surprised, and said:
“Why didn’t you just Space Movement over this time?”
It was well known that Teacher Mi Jiala hadn’t knocked on the door in a long time; she usually just appeared in the room.
Mi Jiala spoke truthfully:
“Colored Flower Bud Shalala isn’t familiar with me yet.
I’m afraid I’d scare it if I just appeared.”
You’re overthinking it, it didn’t even bat an eye when it saw Tenth Seat… Qiao Sang muttered inwardly, then asked:
“Are we leaving now?”
“Of course, we’ll have breakfast first,” Mi Jiala said.
“Let’s go, I’ve already found a good breakfast place.”
Qiao Sang: “…”
No, it’s been a week on Qingguang Island, and I haven’t seen you specifically look for a place to eat…
Qiao Sang then thought of something, looked at Colored Flower Bud Shalala, and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly: It seems that the quality of life will improve significantly from now on.
She could tell that Teacher Mi Jiala really liked Colored Flower Bud Shalala; she hadn’t been so cautious when she first saw Qingbao.
After packing their things, going out for breakfast, and heading to the Yu Beast Center to get an identity bracelet for Colored Flower Bud Shalala, who had transformed into Xiao Dai Guo (Little Dull Fruit) as a wild Pet, Qiao Sang and Teacher Mi Jiala then took Yabao and the others to the Pet airport.
…
One day later.
Dragon Kingdom.
Barrier Night Hawk landed smoothly, opening its mouth, and Qiao Sang walked out with Yabao and the others.
What met their eyes were mostly familiar East Asian faces, and for a moment, a sense of familiarity and closeness surged in her heart.
Colored Flower Bud Shalala looked at everything around it with curiosity.
“Are we going to the Yu Beast Center now?” Qiao Sang asked.
“No,” Mi Jiala said, taking out her phone.
“The Yu Beast Center has too many people and Pets, it’s a bit noisy, and Colored Flower Bud Shalala is suitable for living in a place with flowers and plants.
I’ve already found a villa with a garden.
We’ll go there.”
Qiao Sang: “…”
“Qingqing.”
Qingbao heard the conversation, remembered past experiences, and with lingering fear, called out, expressing a wish that there wouldn’t be stinky guys living next door.
“Mog Mog.”
Dragon King enthusiastically helped translate.
After translating, its eyes burned as it looked at Qiao Sang.
Mi Jiala was silent for a moment, then said, “Didn’t you already undergo stench endurance training? If there are neighbors like that, you can continue your training in that area.”
Qingbao: “…”
Seeing the wind swirling around Qingbao, Qiao Sang changed the subject and asked:
“Are we still going back to Elephant Country later?”
“It depends,” Mi Jiala said.
“Currently, the most important thing is to first find Yan Jiaoou’s three evolution materials.”
I thought you’d say the most important thing was to take Colored Flower Bud Shalala to play… Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said:
“How about we just post a Qunbao mission to find true fire crystal?”
Mi Jiala nodded slightly: “You can try, but I suggest we go directly to Zhendai Bird to trade.”
Qiao Sang: “???” (End of Chapter)
