As Zhou Yaqi spoke, a clam appeared in his palm. One side was pure black, while the other was adorned with chaotic patterns in different colors, inexplicably evoking a sense of sorrow.
Yes.
The ‘fan’ in sorrow painting fans referred to a clam, not a folding fan.
sorrow painting fans was not a Transcendent creature, but an extremely rare SSS-grade special ingredient.
Seeing the clam still bubbling in his palm, Mingxi was completely stunned.
Ingredient? Special ingredient?
“Clap.”
She lightly tapped her palm with her fist.
That’s right!
How could she not have thought of it?
Besides potions and items, special ingredients could also enhance the strength of pet beasts!
However, compared to ordinary materials, special ingredients were much scarcer.
So scarce that even someone with the background of the Fu Yifan brothers would find it difficult to access them.
Therefore, even though special ingredients offered immediate and mostly side-effect-free improvements to pet beasts, few Beast Tamers could afford to use them freely for their pet beasts.
Especially seafood special ingredients.
Because the marine environment was more complex and dangerous than the terrestrial environment, seafood special ingredients were even harder to obtain.
So, this person saying his SSS-grade sorrow painting fans was more valuable than a Colorful energy crystal was not an exaggeration.
“Master, you can trade! Trade with him! This sorrow painting fans might truly be useful for Mingsui Grass! Even if it can’t evolve into a new evolution, it can increase its latent super ability attribute.”
Guangguang’s voice promptly brought Mingxi’s thoughts back.
“Okay, I’ll trade with you!”
Mingxi reached out and grabbed the Colorful energy crystal from her stall.
“Alright—”
Zhou Yaqi was also about to hand over the sorrow painting fans in his hand.
“Wuwuwu.”
The young man, whose vocal power had been sealed by the earth-sealing technique, could speak again.
He stared with wide eyes, his nostrils flaring, expelling large plumes of white steam, like an angry calf!
Zhou Yaqi, interrupted again, was speechless.
This time, he didn’t hold back. He directly removed the mask from his face and, facing the young man’s face, which was flushed red with anger, said, “Xiaoxiu, stop messing around, it’s me!”
Zhou Yexiu was stunned.
“Wuwu?”
The bodyguards were also stunned.
“Grandpa?”
Zhou Yaqi snorted in displeasure, glaring at Zhou Yexiu, “Isn’t it your Grandpa?”
Hearing his self-address, the onlookers were all dumbfounded.
What did he mean?
Not only did these two know each other, but they were also grandfather and grandson?
Mingxi was also taken aback.
Goodness!
Was this the legendary ‘the Dragon King’s temple was flooded by a great deluge,’ meaning family members fighting among themselves?
But the temperaments of this grandfather and grandson were too inconsistent.
One was arrogant and overbearing, while the other was polite, gentle, and sensible.
Had a good bamboo produced a bad shoot?
“...Sir, are you still trading for the Colorful energy crystal?”
Although she didn’t understand why there was such a huge difference between this grandfather and grandson, Mingxi wasn’t planning to marry into their family.
What did it matter to her?
Zhou Yaqi looked at Mingxi again and handed over the sorrow painting fans in his hand. This time, no one interrupted him.
The transaction was completed.
Mingxi caressed the clam shell, the side adorned with magnificent, unordered patterns that, when seen, seemed to depict a desolate autumn scene.
A thousand readers see a thousand Hamlets.
This saying also applied when facing sorrow painting fans.
It was said that apart from the unshakeable sense of sorrow, everyone saw different patterns on the sorrow painting fans.
Some saw the bleakness and desolation of ‘a wisp of cloud shares the sky, the lonely moon shares the eternal night,’ while others saw the solitary chill of ‘a thousand miles of mountains with distant cold, a lone boat moored deep in the reeds, a flute in the bright moon tower’...
“Mysterious nature.”
Mingxi sighed endlessly.
Ultimately, this world was just too extravagant.
She put the sorrow painting fans into the Time Realm, planning to find a way to cook it for Emerald Green to eat when she returned.
Although sorrow painting fans was a living creature, it was not a Transcendent creature and lacked sentience, so the Time Realm would not reject it.
“Little boss, my great-grandson was very rude just now. I, this old man, apologize to you on his behalf. He’s actually a good child; he only became like this due to some special reasons.” fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Mingxi raised an eyebrow and glanced at the young man, whose mouth was still sealed.
“Was he cursed by a pet beast?”
Mingxi had long noticed the young man’s abnormality; his behavior was simply too strange.
Speaking wildly and acting arrogantly was not strange.
Feminine reactions were nothing; it was not illegal for such a cute boy to dress flamboyantly.
But whenever he acted exaggeratedly or said something outrageous, his eyes occasionally revealed emotions like shame, bitterness, and helplessness... This was intriguing.
Connecting this with Zhou Yaqi and the young man’s eagerness to buy the Colorful energy crystal, Mingxi reasonably guessed— “Or was he alienation by a Transcendent creature fusion?”
At these words, both Zhou Yaqi and Zhou Yexiu showed shocked expressions.
“It seems to be the latter.”
Fusion mutation referred to a situation where a Beast Tamers was forced to merge with a Transcendent creature for some reason, causing changes in their body and personality.
It sounded somewhat similar to Rejuvenation Symbiosis, but it was not.
Fusion mutation meant that the Beast Tamers and the Transcendent creature shared a single body, and either the Beast Tamers or the Transcendent creature could be in control of the body.
Rejuvenation Symbiosis, on the other hand, was pure parasitism; the Transcendent creature could never replace the Beast Tamers as the body’s dominant force. To put it more harshly, it was even the Beast Tamers’ nourishment.
And fusion mutation generally only had disadvantages for Beast Tamers, with ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) no benefits.
Of course, it wasn’t absolute.
There were always some special cases.
Moreover, although the main body of fusion mutation was the Beast Tamers, because the pet beast’s body was integrated, the Beast Tamers’ body would also be affected and undergo certain changes.
For example, Zhou Yexiu’s long hair and his slightly blue eye color were due to the fusion mutation.
He originally had short hair and black eyes!
Fusion mutation was divided into two types: short-term and long-term.
As the name suggested, the former could be quickly resolved and would not cause too serious an impact on the Beast Tamers.
The latter, however, was more troublesome.
One could only find a way to develop a corresponding antidote to possibly break free from the fusion mutation.
And the Colorful energy crystal was the key material for making the antidote!
Mingxi knew all this because of Shao Dingding.
Every day, besides completing her schoolwork, she also had to complete tasks specifically assigned by Yuan Hongye.
Fusion mutation was one of the after-school test questions assigned by Yuan Hongye one day. Mingxi saw it and asked a couple of curious questions.
That’s how she learned about it.
Fusion mutation was not common.
Rarely seeing a true fusion mutant, Mingxi’s curiosity was piqued.
She looked at Zhou Yexiu, “In this young master’s situation, it seems the Transcendent creature is in control of the body. Do you know that your aesthetics and personality have significant problems?”
