Time Soil!

Originally, Shi Yu wasn't interested in further research on the Silkworm Cocoon…

But when it came to this, he was wide awake.

As soon as Hua Xiajin Legend mentioned the breeding achievement exhibition, and the Time Soil, Shi Yu's research motivation instantly reignited.

A special soil that can stimulate mutations in spirit plants?

And imbued with high-end, impressive time power?

This, isn't this tailor-made for Ginseng Baby?!

Shi Yu had never heard of this resource before. It seemed to be super rare, especially since it involved the time attribute.

Moreover, as a reward for a national-level competition, its value and level would definitely not be low.

Moonlight Gem + Time Soil + Ginseng Baby = ???

Shi Yu suddenly became curious.

No, just these two resources aren't enough, the more the better!

But no matter what, he was definitely going to get this Time Soil.

"This Time Soil sounds a bit useful to me…" Shi Yu said.

Everyone: "..."

Principal Feng: "Just for this?"

Is your position so fickle?!

Shi Yu: "Does our Gudu University have similar resources? If so, it doesn't really matter whether I participate or not."

"Uh." Principal Feng was stunned.

"No." He said with a dark face.

This level of dual-attribute resource is often unique, and it's hard to find anything similar.

This Time Soil was likely provided by the Third Bureau.

The Eleventh Bureau could offer resources of equal value, but they definitely wouldn't be earth and time dual-attribute.

No matter how you looked at it, this was a reward prepared for breeders, and only the Third Bureau could offer it.

"Time Soil, and you still say you're not interested in breeding research?" Hua Legend said speechlessly.

Shi Yu said: "...It's not for research."

He couldn't exactly say that he was using it as a random mutation material for Ginseng Baby, right?

Not only can the Azure Cotton Worm be a gambling addict! Ginseng Baby can gamble too!

Shi Yu discovered that he quite liked this random evolution scheme, it was just a bit expensive.

"So, it seems we'll be participating in this competition then?" Dr. Zuo pondered slightly.

She was actually planning to participate in this competition as well, but now, she gave up, intending to fully assist Shi Yu.

Because Shi Yu's breeding achievement had a chance to crush the competition and was of great significance.

"We only have seven days to prepare."

"The Silkworm Cocoon is certainly a good breeding research result, but it's not enough on its own."

"At least we need to determine the value of its evolved form. As for whether there can be other breakthroughs within seven days, that depends on luck."

"Now, the only thing that can be determined is that the breeding cost of the Silkworm Cocoon is not high, right?" She looked at Shi Yu.

Because the breeding materials that Shi Yu and they wanted were all relatively common, low-level materials.

Shi Yu said: "The market price of the evolution materials for a single Silkworm Cocoon is around a hundred thousand. If these materials are planted and produced on a large scale in the future, the cost can be controlled to a very low level. If it's around a hundred thousand, most ordinary families should be able to afford it."

Xia Qingwei was stunned and said: "So cheap??"

Dr. Zuo smiled and said: "If the breeding cost invested by the Beast Tamer can be controlled within 100,000, and they obtain a pet beast that masters telekinesis, that's already considered a huge impact. Spirit-type pet beasts generally have very high potential."

"If it's controlled around 1 million, and they obtain a commander-level race that masters telekinesis, it would be a huge innovation for the Beast Taming field."

"So, this breeding result has a very high chance of winning first place at the Breeding Achievement Exhibition."

"We need to hurry…"

"With you and Qingwei, there's no problem, it's just that you'll have to work hard." Hua Legend smiled slightly and said to Shi Yu:

"Dr. Zuo and Qingwei's talents can accelerate or slow down the growth rate of pet beasts, similar to the accelerated growth effect of the Beast Taming Space, but they are not limited to their own contracted pet beasts, and the effect is even stronger. Their talents are very suitable for researching insect-type life forms."

"In other words, they can quickly allow the cocoon to digest the power of evolution and complete the evolution, just like the Butterfly God, but this talent consumes a bit of physical energy, and the supplements can't be cut off during the process."

Shi Yu was stunned.

"That's easy to say, I'll provide the supplements."

Ginseng Baby, for evolution materials, as long as it doesn't die, it'll keep supplementing to death!

Dr. Zuo, Xia Qingwei: "..."

Dr. Zuo: "In that case, let's find a place now. I want to see the form of the Silkworm Cocoon after evolution immediately."

"Then…" Shi Yu looked at Principal Feng. So, where's the research institute?

For the sake of the Time Soil, Shi Yu was going all out.

During this period, Ginseng Baby shouldn't do any other work. Just obediently make supplements and nutritious fruits that increase evolutionary potential. Let Dr. Zuo and Xia Qingwei be full of energy even if they open cocoons for seven days and seven nights.

"The research institute will definitely take some time to prepare…" Principal Feng said.

"Then let's go to the Iron-Eating Beast Research Institute first. Anyway, the infrastructure there is relatively complete, and it's currently idle." Shi Yu said.

The others nodded, having no objections.

Shi Yu smiled slightly and said, "It's not close. I'll take everyone over."

He called out, and a dazzling butterfly figure appeared. Seeing this, everyone was slightly stunned.

"Using Instant Transmission." Shi Yu explained, "It's faster this way."

"Ugh~~" Buggy gently fluttered its wings, feeling wronged. It had gone directly from a private car to a bus?

"Butterfly of Imagination!" As soon as Buggy's figure appeared, Dr. Zuo and Xia Qingwei's expressions immediately changed.

Dr. Zuo's expression was excited. To be honest, she wanted to study the Butterfly of Imagination even more than researching the Silkworm Cocoon, but she couldn't bring herself to make such an unreasonable request.

In comparison, Xia Qingwei looked at Buggy, who looked a bit haggard, and was a little dazed. She didn't understand why the Butterfly of Imagination, which was so mighty and domineering before that it made them lose their will to fight with just a glance, looked so tired now.

A heavy punch outwards, a tool pet internally, confirmed!

"Alright, let's go." Shi Yu was also quite anxious.

While they were observing, Buggy's telekinesis had already wrapped around the 51 Azure Cotton Worms and Silkworm Cocoons present, ready to depart.

"Everyone, please let its telekinesis envelop you." Shi Yu said.

As soon as Shi Yu finished speaking, the others nodded quickly, and their bodies disappeared from the spot in an instant, enveloped in a blue light.

…

Iron-Eating Beast Research Institute.

Training ground.

Three little Iron-Eating Beasts were entertaining themselves, training.

They were very aggrieved because Leader Eleven didn't care about them much after returning from the Divine Capital. He said that they had graduated and could train on their own.

This was purely because Buggy had suddenly become so strong that Eleven felt a sense of crisis and went to undergo even more rigorous training, leaving it with little free time to take care of the kids.

"What's this…"

Their figures gradually appeared in the training ground.

After arriving here, Hua Legend looked at the three little Iron-Eating Beasts using Hardened Iron Fist to hit the stakes, sprinting around the training ground for physical training, and waving iron bars around randomly, and fell into contemplation.

This is the Iron-Eating Beast Research Institute?

Are they researching how to make Iron-Eating Beasts more diligent?

The arrival of the group immediately caught the attention of the three little Iron-Eating Beasts. After discovering that it wasn't the leader, but the leader's owner, they couldn't help but reveal expectant expressions.

"You guys play by yourselves." However, Shi Yu's words left the three little Iron-Eating Beasts extremely disappointed.

"Wuwuwu… (Continue, continue, continue.)"

Shi Yu: "…"

Eleven's thought imprint is still powerful.

Not only Hua Legend, but also Principal Feng, Dr. Zuo, and Xia Qingwei all had strange expressions after seeing this.

Among them, Principal Feng was fine since he had already heard about the Iron-Eating Beast legends of Gudu University.

Shi Yu: "Cough, ignore them. Let's get down to business first."

"Yes." Dr. Zuo nodded.

The so-called business was naturally for Dr. Zuo to use her growth talent to help the Silkworm Cocoons quickly absorb evolutionary power and break out of their cocoons as soon as possible.

This training ground was quite spacious, so the group simply started experimenting here.

Dr. Zuo stepped forward, looked at the 11 Silkworm Cocoons, focused on one, and gently picked it up.

The Silkworm Cocoon didn't struggle, after all, they were cultivated by the research institute and were relatively docile and timid.

Under everyone's gaze, Dr. Zuo's hands flickered slightly with fluorescent light, and a huge amount of energy was injected into the Silkworm Cocoon's body. At this time, the Silkworm Cocoon was stunned for a moment and subconsciously closed its eyes.

In less than a minute, Dr. Zuo gently put down the Silkworm Cocoon and said, "Alright, it can try to break out of its cocoon and evolve with telekinesis at any time. The evolutionary power has been completely absorbed."

"Ah, I'm getting old, it's really tiring. Qingwei, you'll assist with the next cocoons." Dr. Zuo said.

"Ah?"

Xia Qingwei was stunned and looked at her mother.

Wait, you're already tired?

You clearly assisted dozens of Azure Cotton Worm cocoons to evolve without even breathing before, but now you're saying you're tired after just one?

Xia Qingwei suddenly felt that she was brought here to be a tool for accelerating evolution.

"It's okay, there are plenty of supplements."

"Ginseng Baby." Seeing this, Shi Yu felt that he couldn't let others work for nothing, so he summoned Ginseng Baby.

Ginseng Baby was also cooperative. After coming out, it immediately used nutrients and sweet gas skills to condense a cigarette-shaped nutrient.

"Yi!!" It trotted to Dr. Zuo, wanting to hand it to her.

As the saying goes, a cigarette for a young woman is like a fairy descending to the world. This was taught to it by the supplement pet beasts of Grandma Li. They said that Grandma Li used to like smoking cigarette-like supplements the most. Every time after she was done, her temper would briefly improve.

"Yi…"

"Uh." Dr. Zuo was stunned when she saw Shi Yu suddenly summon Ginseng Baby and hand her a cigarette.

"Ginseng Baby!" Shi Yu said with a stomachache, who the hell taught you that!

Feeling Shi Yu's rebuke, Ginseng Baby immediately shuddered, rubbed the cigarette in its hand a few times, kneaded it into a cherry-shaped nutrient, and handed it over again.

"A nutrient?" Dr. Zuo smiled slightly, took the nutrient, and said with a smile, "Thank you, little guy."

Speaking of which, Shi Yu actually has a Ginseng Baby contracted with him??

"Besides being a nutrient, it may also be Energy Fruit Cherry Bomb." Principal Feng pondered next to her. He had heard about Ginseng Baby's battle with the battle club.

Dr. Zuo almost threw the cherry away as soon as she took it.

"It's just a nutrient, and it's a combination skill of sweet gas and nutrients. The fruit envelops and seals the sweet gas. You don't need to eat it, just put it close to your nose and smell it to relieve a lot of fatigue." Shi Yu said helplessly.

After Shi Yu finished speaking, Ginseng Baby made another one and handed it to Xia Qingwei.

Ginseng Baby looked sincere, cheering them on. The aunt in the research uniform and the older sister who was beaten by Buggy, my evolution materials depend on your hard work.

Let me see where your limits are!

"Uh, thank you."

Xia Qingwei also recognized Ginseng Baby. Wasn't this one of the little pet beasts that picked honey with Buggy in the garden back then?

Besides it, there was also a little Iron-Eating Beast and a little Flame Sword Spirit. They should all be Shi Yu's pet beasts…

At this time, Dr. Zuo took a deep breath and put the cherry nutrient provided by Ginseng Baby under her nose and smelled it a little.

"Ugh…"

In the next moment, she suddenly felt refreshed, and the fatigue of coming to Gudu from Modu disappeared, just like waking up in the morning and breathing in the fresh air of nature.

The relaxation of her whole body made Dr. Zuo reveal a surprised expression.

"This…" Dr. Zuo took away the nutrient. Putting aside the upper limit of the effect, just the quality of completely relaxing the spirit, body, and mind, as if merging with nature, was too rare.

"Its nutrients and sweet gas levels should be very high, right."

"Yes." Shi Yu said, "And it's a mutated race that masters super skills that enhance the effects of nourishing and restorative skills."

"As expected, it's not an ordinary Ginseng Baby!" Xia Qingwei thought in her heart.

She knew that a genius like Shi Yu wouldn't contract any ordinary pet beasts.

"It seems Li Lianping sent you a good pet beast." Principal Feng looked at Dr. Zuo's surprised expression and praised in wonder.

After a while, out of curiosity, Xia Qingwei also smelled the nutrient, and the next moment, her face turned red, and her whole body was so numb that she almost wanted to moan. She quickly took away the thing.

For ordinary Beast Tamers, Ginseng Baby's supplements were indeed a bit strong.

There weren't many Beast Tamers like Shi Yu who ate nutrients as if they were real fruits without changing their expressions.

"It should be able to evolve now, right."

After Shi Yu let Ginseng Baby distribute the nutrients, he looked at the Silkworm Cocoon that had been successfully accelerated and opened its eyes again.

At this moment, this Silkworm Cocoon was confused and at a loss in place.

"Yes." Dr. Zuo nodded.

"In that case, Silkworm Cocoon, try breaking out of the cocoon." Shi Yu said to the Silkworm Cocoon, "Do you know how to do it?"

"Ugh~~~" Buggy also followed up with instructions.

Hearing the command, the Silkworm Cocoon immediately shook its body, and its pupils emitted a faint light. Telekinesis was activated, trying to break free from the cocoon's restraints from the inside and unleash its full potential.

"Ji!!!" At this moment, the Silkworm Cocoon actually made a sound for the first time.

Immediately afterwards, with a "buzz," a wave of evolutionary light bloomed from its body.

Everyone held their breath.

Under the envelopment of the evolutionary light, the cocoon underwent a huge change. With a "boom," the cocoon directly burst open under the pressure of telekinesis, turning into scattered white silk, flying around.

Seeing this scene, Shi Yu felt extremely heartbroken and thought of Buggy's cocoon when it evolved, which was annihilated into nothingness by the power of spirit and space…

He originally wanted to use it as fertilizer for Ginseng Baby, but nothing was left. When you evolve, can't you be gentle and take it off bit by bit, like undressing???

Tearing it open directly, what's that about? Are you in such a hurry to reincarnate?

"It's evolving!"

Although the Silkworm Cocoon burst open, the white light inside remained, gradually forming a new figure. Xia Qingwei exclaimed.

At the same time, the energy value of the invisible illustrated handbook in front of Shi Yu changed rapidly.

[Name]: ???

[Attribute]: Spirit

[Race Level]: ???

[Energy Value]: 571

"Energy value 571, directly more than doubled. For butterflies, it can be said to be quite high." Shi Yu said in surprise.

"Moreover, the information is unknown. It's a new race!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the light dissipated, and a butterfly less than the size of a palm, with a crystal-clear white body and bright spots on its wings, appeared in front of everyone.

"Ni~" This newly born butterfly immediately called out softly.

"It's indeed a new race." The insect-type experts Hua Legend and Dr. Zuo's eyes lit up when they saw this butterfly.

At this time, under Buggy's instructions, this newly born butterfly flew up and began to show everyone the newly awakened racial skills.

With a flutter of its crystal-like wings, a large number of glittering crystal powder quickly appeared. Then, the crystal powder was impacted by a wave of telekinesis and blown fiercely forward!

After completing all of this, this evolved form fell directly from the air and fell asleep on the ground.

Everyone: "..."

After a moment of silence, Dr. Zuo said, "If I'm not mistaken, what we just saw were the low-level spirit-type skill, Telekinesis, the mid-level spirit-type skill, Spiritual Powder, and the high-level spirit-type skill, Absolute Sleep."

"Extraordinary level, an energy value of 571 just after breaking through and evolving, and it also has three spirit-type skills. Without a doubt, this is a high-level Extraordinary race."

"A cost of 100,000, a high-level Extraordinary race, and it's a rare spirit-type. The strategic value of the Silkworm Cocoon is going to expand infinitely." The more she spoke, the more excited she became.

Spiritual Powder.

Spiritual crystal powder, upon contact, will produce one of the effects of spiritual poisoning, spiritual paralysis, and spiritual sleep. It is very powerful.

It is not only an important material for medicine, but also has very high tactical value.

Absolute Sleep, needless to say, if it wasn't useful, Shi Yu wouldn't have taught this skill to every pet beast.

This is simply a training divine skill that can greatly reduce the burden of cultivation.

In the evolutionary law summarized by Legend Lin Feng, although evolution does not 100% increase the race level, it is 100% to awaken new racial skills. Now, the mysterious butterfly, which has awakened two new racial skills, has directly surprised Hua Legend, Dr. Zuo, and Xia Qingwei with the potential of the Silkworm Cocoon.

Generally speaking, Azure Cotton Worms only gain one Wind Blade skill when they evolve normally.

But now, by spending tens of thousands of dollars more, you get three more spirit-type skills. It's simply unimaginable.

"So strong?" Shi Yu also stared blankly at this butterfly.

This result exceeded his imagination.

He thought it would be a mid-level Extraordinary race, but he didn't expect it to directly reach a high-level Extraordinary race!

If this is the case, this butterfly's value for money is absolutely super high for most Beast Tamers.

After all, Azure Cotton Worms don't cost money, and the evolution materials are also very cheap.

The biggest difficulty and regret may be that even if the silk is only cultivated to the proficiency level, it is not a simple matter for ordinary Beast Tamers.

Also, the lifespan of Extraordinary butterfly creatures is not very long. If they cannot break through the racial limit, they may only be able to accompany the Beast Tamer for ten years. Compared with the Iron-Eating Beast, which has a lifespan of several decades, it is much worse.

But this is already enough. The value brought by a high-level Extraordinary race pet beast for ten years completely exceeds this input cost. It is a very good initial pet beast that can quickly help the Beast Tamer enter the gate of the Beast Taming field.

Sometimes, many people are not without ability or talent, what they lack is a stepping stone, and the evolved form of the Silkworm Cocoon is the best stepping stone!

"Very excellent race." Dr. Zuo said, "Although it cannot enhance high-end combat power, it can greatly lower the threshold for ordinary people to become Beast Tamers."

"Compared to the Wind Crystal Butterfly that evolves naturally from the Azure Cotton Worm… the growth potential of this pet beast is very huge."

"The all-purpose basic skill Telekinesis, when developed properly, can meet all needs. Spiritual Powder is not only highly tactical, but can also be collected and sold to subsidize Beast Tamers. Absolute Sleep can accelerate the growth of pet beasts and increase training efficiency, allowing insect-type elves, which already form combat power quickly, to form combat power even faster. This is simply the most suitable pet beast race for grassroots Beast Tamers."

Hua Legend, Principal Feng, and others had realized before that the potential of the Silkworm Cocoon would be huge, but the potential of this new race born from the continuous two-stage evolution of the Azure Cotton Worm still surprised them.

"Principal Feng, I told you, the breeding department of Gudu University is going to take off this time." Hua Legend looked at Principal Feng, with the same smile on his face as Dr. Zuo.

Principal Feng grinned and smiled: "What take off, what not take off, the main thing is that it can contribute to the Dong Huang Beast Taming field. Gudu University will fully cooperate with follow-up research!"

"Shi Yu, well done!"

Xia Qingwei also looked at Shi Yu and was completely convinced.

"This is not the end."

"This is just the result of proficiency-level silk + Silkworm Cocoon evolution materials. What if it is perfect-level silk, superb-level silk?"

"Is it possible to create new pet beasts of the commander race, or even the monarch race? If other materials are added, is it possible to create dual-attribute butterflies!" Dr. Zuo said, "The experiment is far from over. It is rare to have a breeding conference, so we must show more results."

"Qingwei, let's speed up the experiment together next."

"Got it." Xia Qingwei breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her mother did not choose to only squeeze her. However, at the same time, she became very excited. Participating in such a major research project, even if she was tired, she was willing to endure it.

"Then everyone will have to work hard." Shi Yu was also very satisfied at this time. Is the Time Soil stable?

"By the way, the name of this pet beast…" Dr. Zuo said.

Hua Legend: "Shi Yu, you can name it."

Shi Yu casually said: "The name is casual, I think it should be called Nianjing Butterfly, and it can join the family with Fengjing Butterfly, Yanjing Butterfly, and Anjing Butterfly."

"So casual…"

…

Next, the Iron-Eating Beast Research Institute was temporarily changed to the Silkworm Cocoon Research Institute, and everyone studied with great enthusiasm.

The old principal of Gudu University went to help Shi Yu register for the breeding conference in the name of Gudu University.

The breeding conference is a large-scale exhibition led by the Third Bureau and hosted by the Breeding Association. It is a very important stage. Several major consortiums and the top nine universities will participate. It is also a very important opportunity to show off. Principal Feng was very happy, but he did not expect Shi Yu to be quite reliable.

"Hehe." Principal Feng walked happily on the road.

"Ah, Grandpa Feng." Beast-eared girl Bai Xi accidentally bumped into the other party.

Seeing that Principal Feng was so happy, she smiled and said, "Is there anything good?"

"Yes, you will know later, Xiao Xi, what are you going to do?" Principal Feng said with a smile, keeping it a secret first.

"Go to Shi Yu and talk to him about the exchange event with the Imperial Capital University again. We are preparing to go to the Imperial Capital next week." Bai Xi said.

Principal Feng's face collapsed and said, "Go, go, go, what exchange event, don't let him be distracted by this kind of thing."

Bai Xi: ???

Principal Feng thought to himself, Shi Yu will also go to the Imperial Capital in a week, but not to participate in any exchange activities, but to participate in the breeding conference!

If there is a conflict of time, what does it matter if Shi Yu participates in this kind of small exchange activity? The breeding conference is important!

…

At the same time, the Imperial Capital, the headquarters of the Breeder Association.

For the upcoming breeding conference, it is also getting busy here.

Not only here, in the Imperial Capital University, the freshmen and seniors of the Imperial Capital University Battle Club have also increased their training volume in order to welcome the upcoming exchange event with the Gudu University Battle Club.

Do not be arrogant or impetuous, no matter who the opponent is, we must deal with it seriously. This is the club motto of the Imperial Capital University Battle Club. Even if the opponent is the very poor Gudu University, they are still seriously preparing for the battle as usual.

However, the club motto is the club motto. The superficial work has been done, but not everyone in their hearts takes it so seriously.

It has not been half a year since the end of the National Competition. How much does Gudu University weigh? Don't they know?

"Zhengfan, the training is over, aren't you leaving yet?" A beautiful twin-tailed girl shouted at the little boy on the field.

Yin Zhengfan, a reserve newcomer to the Imperial Capital University Battle Club, is very young and can be regarded as the most cared for member here.

The most important thing is that Yin Zhengfan himself is also very hardworking, which makes others have to admire this child.

"Senior Sister, I want to train a little longer." Yin Zhengfan said.

"Don't exhaust yourself." The Battle Club Senior Sister shook her head and left first. Everyone also knows why Yin Zhengfan is working so hard. Is it because of the exchange event with the Gudu University Battle Club?

If they haven't judged wrong, Yin Zhengfan should care very much about a contemporary Beast Tamer from Gudu University.

This year's Gudu examination champion, Shi Yu, who was the only one to defeat Yin Zhengfan.

However, Shi Yu is just a freshman after all, and he may not participate in this exchange event. It is even said that the other party is from the archeology department. It is uncertain whether he has even joined the Gudu University Battle Club. Yin Zhengfan is working so hard to prepare for the battle, and he may not even see anyone in the end.

"But if that Shi Yu really comes, he will definitely be shocked by Zhengfan's strength change, right."

"The growth atmosphere of the two schools is completely one in the sky and one on the ground."

The senior sister left the venue with a smile. Even in the Imperial Capital University, where monsters gather, Yin Zhengfan, who is desperate enough, is one of the best in strength among the freshmen. Maybe she should help Yin Zhengfan investigate the situation of that Shi Yu now?
