Beast Taming: I'm Really Not a Cultivation Master

Chapter 485: Chapter 448: Journal

In just a few hasty words, they had arranged for him to help Pei Yuanyuan evolve a Six-tailed Cat. After that, the two returned to the topic at hand.

”Li Qian, why did Tun Tun have such a violent reaction?” Pei Yuanyuan asked, her brow furrowed as she looked at Tun Tun, who was being restrained by the Six-tailed Cat.

If Li Qian hadn’t pushed her away in the nick of time, a blow like that from Tun Tun would have left her seriously injured, even if it wouldn’t have killed her. Thus, along with her confusion, Pei Yuanyuan now felt a lingering fear.

Li Qian stared at Tun Tun and didn’t directly answer Pei Yuanyuan’s question. He couldn’t be sure of the reason yet, so naturally, he couldn’t offer any useful information.

Fortunately, the suddenly berserk Tun Tun was already under the Six-tailed Cat’s control, so he simply went forward to observe it up close.

Seeing this, Pei Yuanyuan didn’t hesitate and also went over to observe. ”Oh, right, Li Qian, how did you realize something was wrong just now?”

Li Qian spoke as he observed, ”My Beast Taming Talent sensed Tun Tun’s emotions. They were very unstable, which put me on alert.”

”So your Beast Taming Talent is Telepathy...” Upon hearing this, Pei Yuanyuan immediately guessed Li Qian’s Beast Taming Talent and muttered to herself.

While the Beast Taming Talent Telepathy didn’t provide any boost to combat power, it was one of the best possible talents for a Breeder.

Li Qian didn’t deny it. He glanced at the Cultivation Base staff member standing beside Pei Yuanyuan. She immediately understood and said, ”Uncle Liu, I’m fine here. You may go for now.”

”Alright, I’ll take my leave then. Be sure to let me know if you need anything.” After hearing Pei Yuanyuan, the Cultivation Base staff member they called Uncle Liu immediately withdrew.

Li Qian turned back to Tun Tun, which was still glowing with the Light of Evolution, and frowned in deep thought.

Just now, Tun Tun’s rampage had made him think of many things. Recalling it carefully, that unstable emotion must have been anger—extreme anger.

This reminded him of some of the information Pei Yuanyuan had given him. According to those records, Tun Tun’s evolution might require extreme negative emotions.

As Li Qian was observing with rapt attention, the Tun Tun restrained by the Six-tailed Cat gradually began to change... Before long, the Light of Evolution on its body died down.

After the Light of Evolution faded, Tun Tun’s limbs gave out and it collapsed limply to the ground. The whole pig looked as if every last bit of its strength had been drained.

Seeing Li Qian lost in thought, Pei Yuanyuan just stood quietly to the side, not wanting to disturb him. As a Breeder, she knew very well that the most important thing to do at this moment was to stay quiet.

Pei Yuanyuan watched quietly, but at that very moment, Li Qian had already created a new task in his mind.

[Task Three: Tun Tun’s Evolution Method. Successfully established. Current task progress: 97%]

The Progress Value after establishing Task Three was no surprise to Li Qian. It had reached ninety-seven percent. In fact, based on all the information he had gathered and the results of this experiment, he was already fairly certain the Progress Value wouldn’t be low.

Considering he had to return to Lingshui City tomorrow and couldn’t afford to linger here, Li Qian didn’t hesitate and directly invested three Achievement Points.

With the investment of three Achievement Points, the task progress instantly shot up to one hundred percent. Looking at his remaining twenty-three Achievement Points, he didn’t waste a second and immediately submitted the task.

After receiving the task feedback, Li Qian couldn’t help but let out a long, internal sigh. ’Looks like my previous guess wasn’t wrong.’

When a task is completed by piling on Achievement Points, there’s no other feedback upon submission besides the content of the method itself.

He was absolutely certain of this because, logically speaking, with his current Spiritual Power Level, any feedback should have guaranteed his breakthrough to Tier Seven Commander. The fact was, however, his Spiritual Power Level had barely changed at all.

When this happened, the answer became self-evident. Li Qian felt a twinge of regret about it, but he wasn’t surprised.

Using Achievement Points to raise the Progress Value and complete the task was taking a shortcut in the first place. It was only normal that there would be no reward.

”’So that’s how it is.’ Li Qian couldn’t help but mutter to himself after absorbing all the information from the completed task.”

He had now completely mastered the evolution method for Tun Tun. Just thinking about the details of the method filled him with a sense of awe.

If he hadn’t used his Golden Finger to directly fill the remaining three percent of the Progress Value, Li Qian felt that he might not have been able to fully figure it out, even with a year of research.

”How is it?” Beside him, Pei Yuanyuan heard Li Qian’s murmur. A sharp glint flashed in her eyes as she immediately asked.

”Get another Tun Tun. Let’s run the test again.” Li Qian smiled, not answering Pei Yuanyuan’s question directly, but instead giving an order.

Hearing this, Pei Yuanyuan glanced at Li Qian doubtfully. She couldn’t help but grumble in her heart, ’Breeding, is it really this simple? You just stare for a while, think for a moment, and you get results?’

”What do we need to prepare?” Despite her doubts, she ultimately chose to trust him and asked.

”Fire Spirit Vine!”

”Earth Rock Fruit!”

”And, Magma Heart!”

Li Qian confidently listed the three materials with a smile on his face. He called it another test, but he looked as if he already had the entire plan figured out.

Pei Yuanyuan wasn’t particularly surprised by the first two Extraordinary Resources, but the third one made her raise her eyebrows. ”So we really do need a Magma Heart.”

”Wasn’t Magma Heart mentioned in the materials you gave me?” Li Qian asked, looking at Pei Yuanyuan with some confusion.

Pei Yuanyuan gave an awkward laugh and confessed the truth. ”That part wasn’t my own research. I found it in a rare journal left behind by a well-known late Breeder.”

Hearing this, Li Qian’s interest was immediately piqued. ”If it’s possible, could you let me take a look at the journal that Breeder left behind?”

In his view, the late Breeder must have been incredibly skilled. Reading the journal might yield even more insights.

After hearing Li Qian’s request, Pei Yuanyuan thought for a moment before saying, ”The journal isn’t mine, it belongs to my mentor. I can let you see it, but I’ll have to give my mentor a heads-up first.”

She pondered for a moment, then continued, ”How about this: later, once my mentor agrees, I’ll send it directly to your email.”

”Okay.” Li Qian nodded and gave Pei Yuanyuan a grateful look.
