Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand-Chapter 590 - 382: Xiao Hei’s Second Evolution

Lin Chen was puzzled as to why Liu Gu would say such things.

Then Liu Gu informed Lin Chen that even in the Catalyst Master’s field, legendary materials vary in quality.

"Some materials are particularly likely to surprise you," Liu Gu said. "Back then, a Catalyst Master used this material and helped a Spirit Beast awaken to an Immortal Technique."

"Immortal Technique?" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Lin Chen’s pupils burned with excitement.

Since witnessing the power of Heart-Burning Fire Control, Lin Chen gained a new understanding of Immortal Techniques.

The strength of such skills far surpassed human comprehension.

Previously, Lin Chen thought ordinary skills and Immortal Techniques merely had appealing names. Now, he fully understood that Immortal Techniques are so named because of their supreme power.

However, such skills are not easy to come by.

"Adjust the formula a bit and go to the pharmacy to swap it," Liu Gu handed the medicinal formula to Lin Chen.

"Okay."

Lin Chen nodded.

The greatest benefit of becoming an elder is that as long as the items in the pharmacy aren’t too expensive, they’re freely available.

.....

By noon, Lin Chen returned with the formula, and Liu Gu had completed Xiaobai’s evolution formula.

"Go ask the Great Elder if Dubhe Pavilion has Cow Egg Grass."

"Cow Egg Grass?!" It was Lin Chen’s first time hearing the name.

Liu Gu took out a book and turned to the page on Cow Horn Grass, where Lin Chen saw the introduction to Cow Egg Grass.

The name Cow Egg Grass is ordinary, but it belongs to the Legendary Material category. Although it’s rated mid-tier among Catalyst Masters, Liu Gu regarded it as very suitable for Lin Chen.

It is widely known that most oxen have stubborn tempers.

The Ox Race has a tradition: when a calf is lost, the cow mother plants a grass by the nest, hoping each day for the calf to return and eat the grass.

This grass later came to be called Cow Egg Grass, since after a hundred years, it turns into an egg due to prolonged injection of Spiritual Power.

"Xiaobai’s foundation and strength are impeccable," Liu Gu analyzed. "In the future, Xiaobai will inevitably need to develop Divine and Demonic Power intensively, so I’m preparing to increase its Spiritual Power somewhat."

Lin Chen nodded in agreement.

This approach was indeed addressing the right issue.

However, when it came to the evolution materials for Xiaolan Fish, Liu Gu seemed hesitant.

"Forget it, my suggestion is..." Liu Gu candidly said, "Xiaolan Fish’s talent is too strong; it really doesn’t matter what materials it uses."

"...."

Lin Chen was a bit speechless.

But it somewhat made sense.

Given Xiaolan Fish’s talent, it could evolve just about any way.

It wasn’t discussed before because Lin Chen had yet to help Xiaolan Fish undergo bloodline purification.

But already, Xiaolan Fish could likely evolve successfully without purification.

"Okay, we’ll go with your plan,"

Lin Chen finally agreed with Liu Gu’s plan, setting the next evolution order as:

Xiao Hei, Xiaolan, and then Xiaobai.

After all, Xiaobai hadn’t reached Level 60 yet.

....

Three days later, Liu Gu checked on Big White Bear and confirmed it was ready for evolution, deciding to start that day.

"Its level has already greatly exceeded Level 40, so the risks are definitely reduced. High-Level evolution has its advantages, but the downside is it won’t enjoy higher-tier quality skills," Liu Gu spoke while starting to add herbs to the pot.

Little Fox had been caught early by Liu Gu to act as a little helper.

Because Anomalous Fire can accelerate the potion preparation and enhance the treatment of the medicine’s effects.

The reason it hadn’t been caught before was that Little Fox’s level was low, endurance poor, and fire control inadequate.

Now everything was different.

It had become an adept fire control master.

With Little Fox’s help, the stove was quickly set up, Big White Bear sat nearby, adjusting its condition.

After about three hours, the medicine efficiency was finally adequate.

Lin Chen awakened Big White Bear, patting its head and saying,

"Don’t be afraid, we’re all waiting outside."

"Roar!"

Big White Bear nodded.

Upon its first evolution, it regained its strength.

During this period, though it hadn’t showcased its abilities often, Big White Bear had been working tirelessly.

Bears differ from oxen; a bear’s body harbors a latent inertia.

This inertia is extremely difficult to overcome.

Big White Bear also had it.

But Big White Bear strived to conquer this inherent laziness.

The journey was arduous, yet it succeeded.

It hadn’t squandered a single day with its newfound power...

"Therefore, believe in yourself."

Lin Chen patted again.

Other Spirit Beasts knew Big White Bear’s evolution was different and stepped forward to encourage it.

Soon, Big White Bear entered the cauldron, meditating like a kung fu panda, eyes wide open watching Lin Chen and the others.

Without knowing how long passed, it finally felt sleepy and began closing its eyes.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chen’s heart tightened.

Among many Spirit Beasts, Big White Bear was actually the one he worried about the most.

After overcoming this tribulation, it would face two more.

But each time, Big White Bear must not fail.

Because if it does, what it loses will be its life.

....

Deep within the southwestern mountains

"Master, wait for me."

Bai Ling panted heavily, drenched in sweat all over.

At this moment, she was climbing a snowy mountain.

The snow mountain is exceedingly terrifying, with an altitude of around twenty thousand meters.

Bai Ling’s physique is weak; by one thousand meters, she’s already breathing heavily.

Whenever Bai Ling reached her limit, the old physician had her sit down and set camp on-site.

Once Bai Ling adapted again, she’d resume climbing.

After several months, Bai Ling was finally nearing the summit.

All that met her eyes was endless snow, and she puzzledly asked, "Master, what’s here?"

Earlier, the old physician had told her that there were important materials atop this mountain to resurrect the Calamity-Devouring Beast.

But only upon successfully reaching the peak would the old physician reveal them.

"I lied to you."

Unexpectedly, the old physician’s first words were these.

Bai Ling immediately looked aggrieved.

The old physician laughed and said, "There are indeed no materials here, but I indicated that if you want to rescue your Spirit Beast, you must first recover your body’s strength."

"Only by doing so can your Spirit Beast be saved."

"If I had said there were no materials to save your Spirit Beast, would you have persisted like this?"

Bai Ling realized.

This twenty-thousand-meter high mountain brought her immense suffering.

Vomiting, dizziness....

These ordeals tormented her daily.

Yet, Bai Ling persisted because she wished to rescue her Spirit Beast and bring Xiu Xiu back to the world.

"Now, sit here and start meditating," the old physician directed.

"So cold..."

Bai Ling sat down, feeling her bottom chilled; the cold entered her body, swiftly turning into piercing pain.

The old physician instructed, "Don’t think about resisting it, but adapting to it."

"Adapting?"

Bai Ling didn’t understand, but she tried to calm her mind.

She heard the gust of wind, the sound of snow, and even the sounds of small animals.

"There’s Spirit Beast here too?" Bai Ling exclaimed.
