Ten Thousand Times Return: My Senior Sister Plucked Me At The Start

Chapter 119 Cultivating Spirit Beasts

Spirit beast hybrids were actually very common, but they were mainly hybrids between spirit beasts of the same type. Different types of spirit beasts had huge differences in their bloodlines, so it was reasonable to say that they would not be able to produce offspring.

For example, if a human and a demonic beast were to combine, the probability of producing a half-demon hybrid was actually very low.

In most cases, reproductive isolation was a fact.

And if a half-demon were to combine with other half-demons, the probability of producing offspring was even lower.

In the natural world, half-demons were equivalent to mule and liger hybrids. It was very difficult for the bloodline to be passed down normally.

The other four spirit beasts that Zhao Mu obtained from the spirit beast valley were also mixed-bloods, but there were at most three or four types of bloodlines mixed in their bodies. The origin of the bloodlines was also not very different.

But for the little bastard to have dozens of bloodlines mixed together, and every bloodline was as different as heaven and earth, it was very rare.

The more Xiong You Rong understood, the more curious she became. She hugged the little bastard and muttered, "Little guy, your birth might be a real miracle. Maybe in the entire Immortal Martial Continent, you are a unique existence."

The little guy could barely understand human language. It blinked its eyes, and a sense of loneliness emerged from its brows.

Zhao Mu was envious.

Who didn't want to be hugged by Senior Xiong?

Luckily the little bastard was a mother beast, or else Zhao Mu would definitely castrate it.

Xiong You Rong did not stay for long, but she promised to come back tomorrow to bring some materials for Zhao Mu to refurbish the cave.

Zhao Mu did not stay idle. He simply cleaned up the ruins and rescued the fast-growing spirit herbs that Tao Su had planted. Luckily, the damage was not too serious. More than half of the spirit herbs could still survive.

This fast-growing spirit herb was not worth much to Zhao Mu, but it had a lot of research value, so it was better to keep it safe.

After that, Zhao Mu used wooden planks to build a simple beast house for the little bastard. At the same time, he opened the Imperial Beast Token and released the other four spirit beasts.

For the time being, Zhao Mu did not plan to impart any knowledge to them. He first let the little bastard lead them to familiarize themselves with the environment of their new home. Then, he would test their innate talent and carry out targeted education.

But today, he could first get some rewards from these five spirit beasts.

Right.

When Zhao Mu broke through to become a Level Two Alchemist, there were many details about medicinal pills in his mind. Among them, there was a type of medicinal pill called the Spirit Beast Pill, which was specially refined for high-level Spirit Beasts as food.

The Spirit Beast Pill was very beneficial to Spirit Beasts. It could improve their bloodline, strengthen their physique, and develop their intelligence. Even the most ordinary Spirit Beasts could grow strong enough if they took the Spirit Beast Pill for a long time.

Spirit Beast Pills were not difficult to refine. Moreover, Zhao Mu had a lot of materials needed to refine Spirit Beast Pills. His current attainments in alchemy were enough to refine Spirit Beast Pills.

He could refine a batch of Spirit Beast Pills for the five little Spirit Beasts as food.

Zhao Mu wanted to try and see how much these miscellaneous spirit beasts could grow with the support of his huge financial resources.

Choosing excellent spirit beasts to cultivate was because of the lack of cultivation resources. Ordinary cultivators, in order to pursue the maximum benefits, would abandon those burdens that were not proportional to the investment and return.

However, Zhao Mu did not need to worry about this at all.

Just the rewards from these five little beasts were more than enough to nurture them.

He did as he said.

Zhao Mu immediately took out a black alchemy furnace.

This was a Level Five alchemy furnace that he had plundered from his Nascent Soul. It had the function of increasing the medicinal effects of elixirs.

However, due to the limitations of its grade, this alchemy furnace could not be considered good.

But to Zhao Mu, it was enough.

"Little brat, this is for you."

Zhao Mu threw the alchemy furnace in front of the Three-tailed Fox.

Chirp chirp?

The three-tailed fox looked at Zhao Mu in confusion.

'I'm just a cute little fox. Master, what do you mean by giving me an alchemy furnace?'

"Ding! You've given away a fifth-grade alchemy furnace, triggering a thousandfold refund. You've received a seventh-grade alchemy furnace, the red clay alchemy furnace."

'A fifth-grade alchemy furnace is a seventh-grade alchemy furnace. It's barely usable.'

Zhao Mu looked at the attributes of the red clay alchemy furnace.

"Red clay alchemy furnace: a seventh-grade alchemy furnace refined from red clay from the depths of the earth's mantle. It has an extremely strong flame resistance. The red clay has a stronger effect on the medicinal efficacy of the spiritual herbs. The medicinal efficacy of the pills refined from this alchemy furnace will be greatly enhanced."

Zhao Mu was very satisfied.

The returned alchemy furnace could not only enhance the medicinal efficacy of the pills, but it also had an additional attribute of high temperature resistance.

One had to know that alchemy furnaces were often in contact with flames and were easily damaged. For alchemists, a durable alchemy furnace was very valuable.

Moreover, Zhao Mu majored in fire supernatural powers. Now that he had the supreme-grade fire spiritual root and the Heavenly Dao Fire Seed, the power of flames released from his hands was definitely not comparable to that of an ordinary alchemist.

An ordinary alchemy furnace could not withstand the destruction of his fierce flames.

With the alchemy furnace, things would be easier.

Zhao Mu took out the required herbs and tried to refine a cauldron of spiritual beast pills.

In just a blink of an eye, ten perfectly round spiritual beast pills appeared in Zhao Mu's hands.

[1] [6] [6] [Small] [Speak]

"This …"

Zhao Mu's expression was a little strange.

It was not that the pill refinement was unsuccessful.

On the contrary, it was too successful and smooth, so much so that Zhao Mu felt that it was unbelievable.

Although the spiritual beast pills were only second-grade pills, it would normally take at least two hours to refine a cauldron.

However, he used less than one-tenth of the time to successfully refine them.

It was one thing to have a fierce firepower, but it was not enough to explain the amazing efficiency.

During the process of alchemy, Zhao Mu felt that his mind was very smooth. It was his first time refining a spirit beast pill, but he felt as if he had done it thousands of times. Every process was very familiar to him. He could even adjust the steps according to the intensity of the fire. This was an ability that only an alchemy grandmaster could have.

All of this could only be attributed to the System's heaven-defying ability.

The Alchemy skill rewarded by the system was probably full of experience and proficiency!

Zhao Mu was overjoyed and used up all the remaining materials in one go.

In the end, he managed to refine more than two hundred second-grade spirit beast pills.

Every single one of them was extremely plump and round, and their medicinal power was abundant and strong. Their efficacy was probably not inferior to a third-grade spirit beast pill.

Zhao Mu immediately summoned the five little Spirit Beasts and rewarded each of them with a Spirit Beast Pill.

Other than the little fox that had just used up its refund, the other four had all received a refund reward.

The reward was still a Spirit Beast Pill, but of a higher grade.

The highest reward was a sixth-grade spirit beast pill.

Zhao Mu returned the spirit beast pills to them as well.

The little guys immediately swallowed the Spirit Beast Pills and returned to the beast house to refine them.

If the other spirit beasts in the Saint Prime Devil Sect knew about this, they would be envious.

Even the spirit beasts reared by the sect elders would not receive such treatment.
