Forget it, I won’t think about it anymore.
Everything will be fine when the time comes.
Mingxi glanced at the large quantity of yin mist stone on the conference table, thought for a moment, and took out two bundles of Huan Feather Silk from her Time Realm.
“Instructor, Mr. Shen, I truly need the yin mist stone, so I won’t decline.”
“This is Huan Feather Silk; I hope you two won’t mind.”
When it comes to gifts, value is secondary; reciprocity is the way of interaction.
Even a sycophant might become resentful and not want to live after being a long-term sucker.
Not only Chu Kuangsheng and Mr. Shen, but also the five instructors who had just spent a lot, she would return their gifts.
The two of them surprisingly took the silk bundles handed to them by the Xiao Guniang.
Given their status, they naturally knew about Huan Feather Silk and how extremely rare it was.
This Xiao Guniang actually produced such a large bundle right away.
Chu Kuangsheng weighed it in his hand; his bundle alone weighed 1 jin 8 liang, more than enough to make a complete set of S-grade defensive equipment.
Shen Linhua was equally stunned, “Huan Feather Silk? Where did you get it? Doesn’t this only come from the Dark Void Cave in the 03 Secret Realm?”
Mingxi: “I previously bid for the right to use the mirror of creation and destruction in the 03 Secret Realm at the Prosperous Luck Auction House, so I went in once and luckily obtained some Huan Feather Silk.”
Shen Linhua: “...”
Are all the Xiao Guniang nowadays so incredible?
She dared to enter the Dark Void Cave of the 03 Secret Realm alone? And she spoke of it so lightly?
Forgive him for being humble, but he wouldn’t dare, okay.
“Not bad, consider it your apprenticeship gift.”
Chu Kuangsheng, however, accepted it very quickly, putting away the Huan Feather Silk in his hand.
He wasn’t lacking in good things, but how could he not accept a gift from his own student?
Mingxi’s mouth twitched slightly, and she also put away the pile of yin mist stone.
“Instructor, I have something else I’d like to ask you.”
Mingxi thought of a certain doubt in her heart.
“Speak.”
“Why did Ji Gang have a sixth pet beast?”
Although the Beastmaster Association wasn’t very reliable, it was absolutely impossible for them to get such important information wrong.
The only possibility she could think of was that Ji Gang indeed only had 5 pet beasts before he was wanted.
So where did the sixth one come from? Could it be that the Blade Ghost Mantis wasn’t actually his contracted pet beast, but a wild Transcendent creature?
Chu Kuangsheng smiled.
“You want to ask if there are other forces that also /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ control Spirit Pact Chambers, right?”
Mingxi scratched her head, her smile already explaining everything.
“Yes.”
“And quite a few.”
Chu Kuangsheng said directly:
“The truth is, many countries, aristocratic families, and organizations actually secretly possess Spirit Pact Chambers.
Spirit Pact Chambers are creations of Heaven’s Evolution.
Mystic Grounds, Secret Realms, and certain other special areas can all give rise to Spirit Pact Chambers.
The Yushou Center simply cannot fully control them.
Beast Tamers civilization has developed for thousands of years, and the exact number of Spirit Pact Chambers cannot be accurately counted.”
Shen Linhua also added, “Xiao Mingxi, you are still young, and the world you’ve been exposed to is very small.
In fact, not only do they secretly possess Spirit Pact Chambers, but many families and organizations are also secretly conducting research and deciphering work on Spirit Pact Chambers.
Some people have even developed methods to increase the success rate of contracts, and the upper limit of the level of Transcendent creatures that can be contracted is no longer just intermediate.”
“Some families use privately owned Spirit Pact Chambers to allow their descendants to contract pet beasts with better talent and higher levels.”
Although she was surprised to hear this, Mingxi wasn’t very surprised.
In fact, she had already thought of it; she just wanted a clear answer.
“But if a contract isn’t done at the Yushou Center, wouldn’t that pet beast become an unregistered one?”
Chu Kuangsheng scoffed, “Heh, the Xiao Zaizi is still too naive.
The Yushou Center is also a part of human society; laws and regulations are not immutable principles, and even Wanlv Town Town cannot restrict everyone.”
Mingxi had nothing to say.
That was indeed the truth.
Why do status, power, and wealth always mesmerize people? Isn’t it because they can dominate everything?
Shen Linhua also sighed, “Xiao Mingxi, some people are born standing on the shoulders of giants; from the very beginning, they have already distanced themselves from many others.
Though it’s cruel, sometimes even the best talent can be crushed by reality.
So you must never be arrogant or slack off!”
Chu Kuangsheng did not stop Shen Linhua from revealing information; Mingxi’s background largely limited her vision and perspective.
Her growth seemed smooth, but the lack of resources was always a big problem.
The resources here refer not only to material resources but, more importantly, to information resources.
Many truths and data are held by a minority of people, and the information Mingxi can obtain at her current social stratum is very limited.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say she’s completely ignorant.
So, a bit of tough love education is also good.
Was Mingxi hit hard?
Actually, not really.
After all, she wasn’t a true fourteen-year-old girl; even if she didn’t want to, she was aware of some things.
After all, she hadn’t been without setbacks these past few months.
“Thank you, Instructor, thank you, Mr. Chu, I understand.”
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll head out first. Tonight’s slaughter is about to begin; I can’t keep the instructors waiting.”
She said, flashing a toothy smile, like a little devil.
Chu Kuangsheng waved his hand, watching the Xiao Guniang’s burning figure walk out of sight.
“King’s slaughter? So late?”
Shen Linhua glanced at the time; it was almost midnight.
Chu Kuangsheng shrugged, just get used to it.
He had a premonition that this chaotic life would continue for a long, long time...
Tonight’s chaos lasted until 2 AM.
However, after finishing the slaughter, Mingxi did not immediately begin her usual daily training.
She planned to return to her balloon house first.
But as soon as she walked out of the special training base’s main gate, Shen Linhua’s Liusui Elf, Zhiyu Die (Paper Feather Butterfly), and Buji Mine blocked their way.
“Liu Liu.”
“Buji.”
“Zhiyu.”
“Lei Lei.”
“Luo Luo.”
“Ice Extremity.”
The six pet beasts greeted each other very politely, with Mingxi, a human, standing right in the middle, like a shining, conspicuous package.
Should she also say ‘human human’?
Otherwise, she’d seem out of place.
Just then, the Liusui Elf flew in front of Little Silver Flower, extended a tentacle, and gently swayed it.
Only then did Mingxi notice that this pale golden tentacle had something wrapped around it.
It was a uniquely shaped small black flag.
“Liu Liu.”
The Liusui Elf’s big eyes fluttered, and it swayed the tentacle again, then released it.
The small flag dropped into Little Silver Flower’s arms.
Little Silver Flower held the flag in its paw, curiously fiddled with it a couple of times, then, losing interest, handed it to Mingxi.
“Luo Luo, Luo Luo.”
Mingxi: ... fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Even Transcendent creatures know how to give gifts and repay kindness these days?
Their etiquette was too thorough.
Mingxi glanced at the black flag in her hand.
This was no toy.
It was a good item called a Traveling Merchant Flag, a symbiotic item of the Transcendent creature, the Traveling Merchant Sprite.
