Beast Taming: I'm Really Not a Cultivation Master

Chapter 512: Chapter 473: Spiritual Light Cat

With the Jade Spirit Eyes in hand, the Array Dance learned, and the quest submitted, Li Qian’s next task was to perform the evolution.

This was the perfect chance to test out the new Cultivation Room.

’First, I’d better get familiar with the Rong People’s evolutionary Array Dance.’ Li Qian entered the Cultivation Room, scanned his surroundings, and prepared to practice the Array Dance.

The Array Dance played a critical role in this evolution; there could be absolutely no mistakes.

Otherwise, if he wasted this rather rare Jade Spirit Eyes gemstone, Li Qian would be absolutely devastated.

He closed the door to the Cultivation Room and began to practice. As time passed, his movements grew increasingly fluid and skilled.

After about two hours, Li Qian felt he had a good enough grasp of it and stopped practicing.

He began to draw the Array Map. The Array Dance was, in essence, a combination of dance and an Array. Now that he had mastered the dance, he certainly couldn’t neglect the Array.

He had, of course, also learned this complementary Array from Teacher Liang.

Li Qian would never forget the help Teacher Liang had given him.

After all, her helping him was a kindness, not an obligation.

Li Qian wasn’t her student, so she had no such obligation.

”If I get the chance, I have to repay her,” Li Qian muttered to himself as he drew the Array Map.

Drawing this Array Map was certainly difficult, but after a quick assessment, Li Qian concluded it wasn’t too hard for him.

He succeeded on just his third try.

Li Qian took out Energy Stones and embedded them into the various nodes of the Array. When he saw the Array Map begin to glow with a faint light, he knew he had succeeded.

With the Array Map complete, he wasted no more time and proceeded to the next step, bringing the subject of the evolution—the Four-tailed Cat that had evolved via a Snake-Eyed Tree Fruit—to the Array Hub.

As soon as the Four-tailed Cat stood in the Array Hub, a faint Light of Evolution began to emanate from its body, even before Li Qian had started the Array Dance.

Li Qian wasn’t surprised to see the faint Light of Evolution emanating from the Four-tailed Cat.

In reality, it was easy to trigger the catalyst for a Pet Beast’s evolution; completing the process, however, was extremely difficult.

This evolutionary catalyst was a crucial method that Breeders used to guide evolutions.

Watching the Light of Evolution emerge from the Four-tailed Cat, Li Qian didn’t take action immediately; he just watched quietly.

When he sensed it had reached a certain point, that the moment was ripe, he immediately sprang into action and began the Array Dance of the Rong People.

”＃￥＆％...” He began to perform a strange dance, following a specific pattern, an incantation on his lips.

As for what exactly he was chanting, Li Qian himself didn’t know, and Teacher Liang hadn’t explained it to him.

According to Teacher Liang, he didn’t need to know; it was just a kind of prayer.

As Li Qian performed the Array Dance, his movements resembling that of a shaman, the Light of Evolution enveloping the Four-tailed Cat in the Array Hub grew increasingly intense.

Finally, when the Light of Evolution reached a certain threshold and formed a pillar of light that shot toward the sky, Li Qian again sensed that the moment was right.

Without a moment’s hesitation, he tossed out the Jade Spirit Eyes. ”Four-tailed Cat, swallow it.”

According to the information from the quest, the Jade Spirit Eyes was the key to completing the final stage of the transformation.

It had to be fed to the Pet Beast at the precise moment the surging Energy reached its peak.

Li Qian had just seized that exact moment.

The moment the Four-tailed Cat deftly caught the tossed Jade Spirit Eyes in its mouth and swallowed, the pillar of light in the Array Hub, formed from the Light of Evolution, instantly changed.

Flickering, indistinct images began to form upon the brilliant, dazzling pillar of light.

As Li Qian stared at the flickering images, the scene before his eyes gradually became a blur.

He saw many fragmented scenes: moments from his childhood, experiences from growing up, and even some of his hopes for the future.

Li Qian even saw Senior Sister Yilina in these images.

Senior Sister Yilina was wearing an apron, cooking a meal for him in the kitchen.

She suddenly turned her head, a gentle smile on her face, and asked Li Qian, ”Darling, you’re home. What would you like for dinner tonight? I’ll make it for you.”

The ”sight” of this scene sent a jolt through Li Qian’s entire body. He shook his head hard, and an instant later, his mind was clear again.

When he focused his gaze again, he found that the flickering images were still there, but they were once again completely indecipherable.

There was no Senior Sister Yilina, no tender scene of her cooking in a kitchen.

”Heh...” Once his mind was clear, Li Qian let out a wry, helpless laugh.

Now, he finally understood. He knew why he had been able to snap out of it so quickly.

It was simply because that scene was so completely at odds with Senior Sister Yilina’s actual personality and image.

It would never happen.

”Still, what was that? How could it make me hallucinate, to see something so impossible...” Li Qian muttered to himself, his eyes on the flickering images in the pillar of light.

”And the vision just now... it didn’t quite feel like an illusion...”

Unable to figure it out, Li Qian decided to stop overthinking it and focused his attention back on the process.

He believed he would get some answers once the evolution was complete, so there was no point in speculating wildly now.

The evolution was still continuing, but the Light of Evolution was slowly receding. Li Qian knew the evolution was about to conclude.

About three minutes later, the Light of Evolution faded completely. In the Array Hub, a brand-new Pet Beast appeared before Li Qian.

Seeing this, Li Qian couldn’t wait to use his Beast Taming Talent, the Eye of True Sight, to inspect it.

As he activated the Eye of True Sight, lines of information appeared before him, revealing every detail.

[Name: Spiritual Light Cat]

[Attribute: Time]

[Level: Commander Sixth Rank]

[Potential: Tier Five Emperor]

[Skills: Claw Strike (Perfection), High-speed Movement (Perfection), Telekinesis (Perfection), Time Acceleration (Beginner), Time Stasis (Beginner), Time Reversal (Beginner)]

Li Qian read the newborn Pet Beast’s information, and it was precisely what he saw about the Spiritual Light Cat that brought a look of astonishment to his face.

The Spiritual Light Cat bore almost no resemblance to its previous Four-tailed Cat form. It was pure white from head to tail, with only a single tail. It wasn’t particularly large, only about twice the size of an ordinary house cat.

Of course, the changes in appearance were secondary. The main thing was its attribute... Yes, what truly shocked Li Qian was the Spiritual Light Cat’s attribute.

Its attribute was actually the Time Element!

The Time Element, even rarer and scarcer than attributes like the Space Element or Life Element!
