Chapter 25: Another Evolutionary Path for the Thousand-Change Silkworm: Star-Blue Butterfly

Zhang Lingxue pressed her tongue against her cheek and grinned.

Where on earth did this monster come from? She had to remember that it took her an entire day just to figure out how to use the grinding equipment.

Yet Ye Bai learned it after just watching for a while; fortunately, this monster was one of her own.

When Ye Bai handed the test report to Zhang Lingxue, she was already so shocked she couldn't speak.

Holy crap, does this guy know the Shadow Clone Technique? When did he turn on the Detection Instrument, and how come I didn't know?

Ye Bai had dealt Zhang Lingxue several critical hits, and now she was so excited she was completely speechless.

She then turned her gaze to the test report; the purity of this Dark Iron had actually reached ninety percent.

"You did very well. Next, we are going to prepare the Evolution Source Liquid."

After Zhang Lingxue prepared all the materials, she took a deep breath; she was about to start making the Evolution Source Liquid.

This was a skill that a Pet Breeder must master.

With Ye Bai's assistance, after an hour, Zhang Lingxue finally produced two bottles of Evolution Source Liquid that were as dark as the night, yet emitted tiny, brilliant specks of starlight blue light.

"Very good, it's a success at last."

"Thanks to your cooperation, we only used one set of materials this time to produce two bottles of Evolution Source Liquid."

Zhang Lingxue let out a sigh of relief, while Ye Bai curiously examined the two bottles of Evolution Source Liquid; that psychedelic color was truly mesmerizing.

"The quality is good, reaching the high-grade second rank."

By the time they finished, it was almost evening. Zhang Lingxue poured the Evolution Source Liquid for Shier, the Baibian Can who had been waiting impatiently on the side, and then the two of them waited in the Laboratory for Shier's evolution.

"Teacher, can we open the skylight?"

"If we can see the starry sky, would it be more helpful for the Baibian Can's evolution?"

Ye Bai offered another suggestion.

Zhang Lingxue nodded; that seemed to make a lot of sense.

The skylight opened slowly, and the twinkling stars came into view.

To avoid affecting Shier's evolution, Zhang Lingxue specifically turned off the lights in the Laboratory.

The night-vision recorder in the Laboratory was recording the entire evolution process of Shier.

A strong light of evolution erupted from its body, looking extremely intense.

Subsequently, the light of evolution began to recede, and the body of the Baibian Can also turned as dark as ink.

The Evolution Source Liquid it had just consumed was stimulating the deep genes within its body.

Progressing to this point, everything was still going smoothly.

Just at this moment, an anomaly occurred.

The starlight in the sky was drawn down, falling onto the Baibian Can.

Zhang Lingxue's heart skipped a beat; a variable had appeared, and this was not good news.

Could it be that this evolution had failed again?

She and Ye Bai watched the evolution of the Baibian Can without blinking.

A crack suddenly appeared on the exterior of the Baibian Can, and streams of starlight blue light poured into its body.

A wet Pet Beast struggled and crawled out from the shell.

Its wings had not yet unfolded, but Ye Bai could clearly see Zhang Lingxue let out a sigh of relief.

Ye Bai was a bit confused, but Zhang Lingxue signaled for him to stay calm.

Her eyes were full of excitement; they had accidentally unlocked another evolutionary path for the Baibian Can.

Starlight gathered on the Pet Beast, and its wings began to unfold.

Its body was also bathed in the starlight.

Only after the starlight gradually weakened did the true appearance of the Pet Beast reveal itself.

These were wings as brilliant as a galaxy, radiating starlight across the sky.

Its eyes were like dreamlike gems, and every time it flapped its wings, starlight blue scales fell from the air.

Compared to the Dark Butterfly, the size of this butterfly-type Pet Beast before them was twice that of the Dark Butterfly, and even slightly larger than the Guangming Nüshen Die.

The Pet Beast flapped its wings and landed on Zhang Lingxue's back, and Zhang Lingxue gained a pair of butterfly wings, looking like a butterfly fairy who had wandered into the mortal world.

Her fair, jade-like neck and beautiful butterfly bones made her cold and aloof appearance even more prominent.

"Ye Bai, this brand-new evolutionary path was discovered by both of us, so you should be the one to name this Pet Beast."

Ye Bai thought for a moment: "How about calling it Star-Blue Butterfly?"

"Ten miles of star ripples, butterflies and flowers like a dream."

"Star-Blue Butterfly, a good name."

"Shier, from now on you are the Star-Blue Butterfly."

Zhang Lingxue tapped the center of the Star-Blue Butterfly's brow lightly, and in front of everyone, she signed a contract with the Star-Blue Butterfly.

This left Ye Bai dumbfounded; everyone knew that Zhang Lingxue was a Third-rank Pet Master, and generally, a Third-rank Pet Master could only contract three Pet Beasts.

Yet Zhang Lingxue had already contracted more than three Pet Beasts.

"Haha, seeing the confused expression on your face, you must be wondering if I am really a Third-rank Pet Master."

"Theoretically speaking, I am a Third-rank Pet Master, but in reality, I am not."

"I am already a Fifth-rank Pet Master."

"In fact, I didn't hide it on purpose; it's just that my teaching duties and immersive research left me with no time to go to the Pet Master Association to update my certification."

Zhang Lingxue smoothed her hair.

"Ye Bai, your guess was right; the Baibian Can has very high requirements for its environment."

"When my Dark Butterfly was evolving back then, I didn't open the skylight."

"So, by sheer coincidence, we have unearthed another evolutionary path for the Baibian Can."

"Once the reproducibility experiment is okay, I intend to include your name on it as well."

Ye Bai shook his head like a rattle-drum: "Teacher, it is better to only write your name."

"After all, I only suggested opening a skylight; you completed ninety-nine percent of the entire process. I am merely a witness. Adding my name would be somewhat fishing for fame."

Zhang Lingxue thought about it calmly and realized Ye Bai was right; exposing Ye Bai too early would easily push him into the limelight.

"Besides, Teacher, I am confident that I can personally unearth a brand-new evolutionary path for the Baibian Can."

Ye Bai wore an expression of having everything under control.

"Fine then, you are already my personal disciple; if you have any needs, you must come to find me."

At this moment, Ye Bai became a bit bashful: "Teacher, there really is one matter, it is just a bit difficult to bring up."

Three question marks slowly appeared on Zhang Lingxue's forehead.

Half an hour later, watching the Thousand-Change Silkworm devouring its food, Zhang Lingxue covered her forehead.

"It is no wonder you were embarrassed to bring it up; this Thousand-Change Silkworm eats too much, it has the appetite of a dozen or so Baibian Can."

"With this big glutton, I reckon you won't be able to afford to keep it."

In the afternoon, Zhang Lingxue had watched this Thousand-Change Silkworm eating and eating along with its little group.

Its mouth had not stopped once.

"I have plenty of high-grade feed here; you can come over from time to time to collect a portion. This can be considered a special benefit of becoming my personal disciple."

"However, I don't have any more than that; you will have to find a way yourself."

"After all, even a landlord's family has no surplus grain!"
