Free Web NovelChen Xin's hands trembled as she held the Feng Hun Jing Po (Soul Sealing Essence): "Mingxi, are you sure you want to give me something so precious?"
Mingxi wasn't that generous.
"If the attempt succeeds, it's yours."
This meant that if the soul sealing failed, the Feng Hun Jing Po (Soul Sealing Essence) would have to be returned to her.
The Feng Hun Jing Po (Soul Sealing Essence) was the final fallback for Golden Yuanbao and the others.
She was still very reluctant.
"I understand."
Chen Xin nodded; this was already very good.
She took a deep breath, began to communicate with the Feng Hun Jing Po (Soul Sealing Essence), and tried to mobilize her spiritual power as much as possible, attempting to reconnect the broken contract and awaken the bond with her Guangyi Butterfly.
5 seconds... 10 seconds...

Lin Chen and Chu Fengfeng, as Chen Xin's comrades, also had a deep camaraderie with her Guangyi Butterfly, and were very nervous at this moment.
Until 5 minutes passed, Chen Xin's face was covered in sweat, and prolonged use of her spiritual power was constantly increasing the burden on her brain, which was already suffering from backlash.
"Little Innocent! Don't die, respond to me!"
Feeling the piercing ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) alarm from her spiritual sea, Chen Xin knew she couldn't hold on much longer, but she didn't want to give up and couldn't help but act a bit chuunibyou for once.
Perhaps the chuunibyou soul really burned, or something.
After her roar, the originally calm Feng Hun Jing Po (Soul Sealing Essence) suddenly lit up as if startled.
A delicate butterfly with four transparent light wings on its back appeared inside the essence crystal.
It was small and miniature, looking a bit listless but clearly conscious.
Mingxi remembered that the three pet beasts of Aletai Beifeng and his two companions were in a dormant, sleeping state within the Feng Hun Jing Po (Soul Sealing Essence) previously.
Mingxi was unsure if this was a good thing or a bad thing.
But—
"It worked!"
"It really worked!"
Lin Chen and Chu Fengfeng cried out in surprise.
"Congratulations."
Regardless of whether it was good or bad, the Feng Hun Jing Po (Soul Sealing Essence) successfully snatched back the fading soul, which was a fact, so Mingxi also smiled and congratulated Chen Xin, who was crying tears of joy.
Although a Feng Hun Jing Po (Soul Sealing Essence) was lost.
"Are there any S-Rank Tool Refiners or above among you?"
The Feng Hun Jing Po (Soul Sealing Essence) needed to be quickly crafted into an item, otherwise the pet beast's soul inside would perish.
This was also why Aletai Beifeng and the others had actively sought Mingxi's help at the time.
So, although it was a bit of a mood killer, Mingxi had to remind the excited trio.
Chen Xin and the other two paused, quickly realizing the seriousness of the problem, and their expressions immediately changed again.
Lin Chen frowned, "No, A Xin is an A-Rank Cultivator, and Phoenix and I are just ordinary Beast Tamers."
"......"
Chen Xin's face turned into a bitter gourd again.
Mingxi sighed, "Then we need to find enough molten star nucleus as soon as possible."
"What do you mean?"
The three were confused.
They knew about the molten star nucleus; it was a rare steel-attribute material, not only used for crafting items but also an important food and repair material for some steel-attribute Transcendent creatures.
But they had never heard of any connection between molten star nucleus and Feng Hun Jing Po (Soul Sealing Essence).
Mingxi explained: "One of my pet beasts is an SS-Rank Item Crafter, who has successfully refined three essence items before, but it fell into a deep sleep due to a large loss of lifespan when saving me.
And the molten star nucleus can quickly restore its state.
So, if we want Sister Chen Xin's Guangyi Butterfly to be reborn, we must first restore my pet beast."
The molten star nucleus was Guangguang's deduction, the material in this Wanmo Territory that could restore Chiyu the fastest.
Hearing Mingxi's words, the three were stunned again, and again, and again.
Chu Fengfeng asked blankly, "Your pet beast is an SS-Rank Item Crafter? How exactly do you cultivate pet beasts?"
If he hadn't clearly seen her identity information just now, he would never have believed that the girl in front of him was only 16 years old.
He endured eight awakenings, and he gritted his teeth, shattered his worldview, and endured twelve super-position awakenings.
The six contracted pet beasts were all new evolutionary types they had never seen before... he couldn't endure it, but he could only endure it.
But now this little potato actually told them that she had an SS-Rank Item Crafter among her pet beasts!
Is God not feeling guilty?
"I just cultivated them casually; they themselves were quite capable."
Do you want a Versailles rose? I'll give it to you.
The shock they had received in these few hours was simply too much; their worldview was constantly being restructured.
Restructuring, restructuring.
They just got used to it.
"molten star nucleus... We do know where to find it!"
Mingxi looked at Lin Chen.
"You must be curious why we haven't summoned our pet beasts to fight until now, right?"
Lin Chen sighed and continued, "Actually, our team's mission a while ago, which was to find the eight extremes nether blood lotus, was already completed.
But during the harvesting process, we happened to run into a notorious bandit group, the Blood Hunters."
What happened next was not hard to imagine.
This Blood Hunters bandit group naturally coveted the eight extremes nether blood lotus and began to hunt down Lin Chen and his two companions.
Their three pet beasts were either severely injured or killed in the battles and chases, and some were even marked.
This directly led to the three, despite their decent strength, being reduced to a state where they had almost no pet beasts available.
...According to my knowledge, the Blood Hunters bandit group had previously plundered an exploration team, and that exploration team was famous for exploring and excavating precious metals.
I had contact with their Team Leader, and I can confirm that the metal ore they were excavating during that period was molten star nucleus.
So, there's a high probability that the Blood Hunters bandit group has molten star nucleus in their hands, and the quantity won't be small!"
Mingxi narrowed her eyes.
"Team Lin, you just said that several of your pet beasts were marked by the opponent's Black Demon Vine, and once summoned, the opponent would detect their exact location?"
"Yes, the Black Demon Vine's marking proficiency is very high and won't disappear in a short time."
Mingxi stroked her chin, her mind working rapidly.
She thought for a moment, "Tell me about this Blood Hunters bandit group, the more detailed, the better."
"You mean?"
"Yes, before, the enemy was in the dark and you were in the open, but now the situation is different.
Although my pet beasts and I are relatively average in strength, as the saying goes, 'attack with strategy.' As long as we fully utilize the information asymmetry between us and the enemy, the possibility of turning defeat into victory is not small."
The molten star nucleus could not only help Chiyu recover quickly but also become an important auxiliary material for its growth.
Mingxi couldn't let it go.
"But we need to plan carefully; I don't like to set off blindly."
Lin Chen clicked on his personal terminal to display the tactical screen, and the detailed files of the nine members of the Blood Hunters bandit group appeared on the screen.
Seeing this file, Mingxi couldn't help but feel admiration.
They had not only collected and organized the list of Blood Hunters bandit group members, their Beast Tamers levels, and pet beast strengths, but also carefully analyzed their respective strengths and weaknesses and the habits and weaknesses of their pet beasts.
