Beast Taming: I'm Really Not a Cultivation Master

Chapter 224: Chapter 202: Extreme Fierce Sky Escape Eagle

Task One, which had been troubling him for some time, was completed just like that.

While overjoyed, Li Qian also found it a little surprising.

He abruptly turned to look at Shi Gui Fang.

Shi Gui Fang was taken aback. Pointing to herself, she asked, ”Did I say something wrong?”

”If I misspoke, please don’t mind it. After all, I’m not a Breeder, so my knowledge is limited. Just treat it as a joke.”

She thought her words had misled Li Qian, so she quickly tried to salvage the situation.

”No, you didn’t mislead me at all!”

Hearing this, Li Qian smiled and shook his head. ”On the contrary, your words gave me a flash of inspiration.”

”Is that so?”

Shi Gui Fang smiled back. ”For a casual comment of mine to give you inspiration, it must have been a stroke of dumb luck.”

The petite woman was very self-aware.

And that was indeed the case.

Given her ability and expertise in breeding, the fact that she happened to help Li Qian could truly be called a stroke of good luck.

”Since you’ve had a flash of inspiration, I imagine you’ll need time to think it over carefully. I won’t disturb you any further.”

Shi Gui Fang was a very smart woman and knew exactly what to do and when.

”Mm.”

Li Qian nodded. At this very moment, he did indeed need time to submit the quest and absorb the information.

With that said, and considering that Shi Gui Fang had indeed helped him immensely, he thought for a moment before making a promise. ”To be honest, your words were a great help. I feel my research is almost complete.”

At this point, he gave the petite woman a pointed look. ”I believe I mentioned before that I’m conducting research on Pet Beast evolution.”

”If I complete this research, I can promise to help the Cultivation Base evolve one Pet Beast of this type at cost.”

Li Qian made this promise based on the care Shi Gui Fang had shown him during this time.

Or rather, the good treatment he had received.

Plus, his stay at the Sky Realm Cultivation Base had been quite pleasant.

”No, no, that won’t be necessary. If the Cultivation Base needs your help evolving a Pet Beast, we will certainly pay the corresponding market price.”

Shi Gui Fang waved her hand, politely declining.

On the surface, she remained polite, but inwardly, she couldn’t help but start complaining.

In her judgment, even if Li Qian could complete his evolutionary research, at most it would be for an ordinary or Elite-level Pet Beast evolution.

At the absolute most, it might reach the Commander Level.

But for her, one more or one less Pet Beast below the Dominator Level was of little significance.

It wasn’t as if he were contributing the evolution method itself.

If he had offered the evolution method itself, its value would have been on a completely different level.

Of course, she would never voice such a presumptuous thought.

Li Qian saw Shi Gui Fang’s reaction and smiled, not saying anything more.

”We can talk more after the Pet Beast evolves and you see it for yourself,” he said, not bothering to explain further and simply giving a casual reply.

Li Qian didn’t believe she would still refuse once the Pet Beast actually evolved.

After all, if his predictions were correct, the Sky Escape Eagle was not actually the final, complete form of the Gray Bean Dove’s evolution.

It was likely just an evolutionary variant.

And in all likelihood, it was a downward mutation, not an upward one.

Knowing it was pointless to say anything more right now, Li Qian simply kept his mouth shut, no longer wasting his breath on explanations.

After the petite woman left, he submitted the quest without a moment’s hesitation.

As the quest was submitted and Task One was cleared, a massive stream of information and a notification prompt suddenly flooded into his mind.

[Task One: Gray Bean Dove to Sky Escape Eagle evolution method submitted successfully. Reward: Five Achievement Points.]

Hearing the prompt in his mind, Li Qian was overjoyed, but also a little surprised.

The progress for this quest had only reached one hundred percent.

Logically, that should have only earned him one Achievement Point.

And yet, upon submitting the quest, he had received a full five Achievement Points. This left him a little puzzled.

Suppressing his joy and confusion, Li Qian began to absorb the other information that had appeared in his mind.

As expected, the information was about the evolution method for the Gray Bean Dove to become a Sky Escape Eagle.

Li Qian stood motionless. On the surface, he appeared to be reading through files, but he was actually absorbing the information.

About five minutes later, the information absorption was complete.

Once he had fully mastered the evolution method for the Gray Bean Dove into the Sky Escape Eagle, Li Qian couldn’t help but sigh with amazement.

”No wonder Professor Yan’s research progress was only at ninety percent. There’s still a pretty big gap between his research findings and the final version of the evolution method.”

Muttering to himself, he began to list the key points.

Strictly speaking, the evolution from a Gray Bean Dove to a Sky Escape Eagle was not a single evolution, but two consecutive ones.

Previously, Professor Yan had Gray Bean Doves that had reached their Racial Potential Limit carry a Void Stone and enter a Teleportation Array to evolve.

Because the Gray Bean Doves entered the Teleportation Array, he was completely unable to observe them.

In reality, for the Gray Bean Doves that successfully evolved into Sky Escape Eagles, the process they underwent inside the Teleportation Array was not a single evolution, but two consecutive ones.

The reason for specifying ”Gray Bean Doves that were able to evolve” was because, just like with Koi Carp, not all Koi Carp can evolve into Frostfire Salamanders and Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragons.
