The monitor was right at his feet, and when he glanced down, a ghost-type beast with gray and yellow patterns appeared in his field of vision, making his heart skip a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Liu Yao had developed a strong heart from being startled by Sky Bat's vanishing act during his younger years, so he managed to avoid losing his composure and yelling out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After steadying his nerves, Liu Yao crouched down to examine the Little Treasure-Seeking Ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure handed over the endoscope with one paw and pointed to his own ear with the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Liu Yao couldn’t understand its language, as a breeder, he could often discern a pet beast’s intentions through its behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t need to check your ears.” Liu Yao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Liu Yao’s attention was completely drawn to his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exclaimed in surprise, “This Little Treasure-Seeking Ghost has golden-yellow eyes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang paused, feeling nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is there something wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew normal Treasure-Seeking Ghosts had pale yellow eyes, but golden-yellow still fell within the range of yellows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like how the eye colors of people in Dragon Nation ranged from black to light brown, she thought it was merely a hereditary difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be more complicated than that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s nothing wrong. I just think the color looks nice.” Liu Yao replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could feel her patience waning!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like going to the hospital for a check-up, only to have the doctor say that one of your organs looks different from other people's.That’s terrifying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After inspecting Little Treasure-Seeking Ghost for a while, Liu Yao asked, “You’ve raised it well. Have you thought about its future evolution path?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang was taken aback. Little Treasure had only one evolution form, Treasure-Seeker Demon, but after that, it could evolve into two different paths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those were the Treasure-Seeker Spirit and the Ghost-Ring Phantom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, Qiao Sang hadn’t given much thought to this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether he evolved into a Treasure-Seeker Spirit or Ghost-Ring Phantom, both were advanced beasts, and right now, Little Treasure was still just a basic beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt too early for her to consider this; She thought she’d decide after it evolved into a Treasure-Seeker Demon and became a mid-tier beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I haven’t thought about it yet.” Qiao Sang answered truthfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, you should start thinking now.” Liu Yao said, stopping his examination and looking up at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you want it to evolve into a Treasure-Seeker Spirit, there’s nothing special you need to do, just raise it as you have been. But if you want it to become a Ghost-Ring Phantom, you’ll need to start following a different cultivation plan while it’s still a Treasure-Seeking Ghost.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang genuinely didn’t know this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most beasts’ cultivation plans were meant to prepare them for their next evolutionary stage, but she’d never heard of starting so early to prepare for a cross-stage evolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few seconds of contemplation, she asked, “What do I need to do if I want him to evolve into a Ghost-Ring Phantom?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After contracting Little Treasure , Qiao Sang had naturally researched the species extensively online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she hadn’t yet decided between the Treasure-Seeker Spirit or the Ghost-Ring Phantom, it didn’t stop her from studying both evolutionary paths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Treasure-Seeker Spirit was a ghost- and dark-type beast. It could evolve smoothly as long as it accumulated enough energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ghost-Ring Phantom, a ghost-type beast, lacked a dark attribute, but compared to the Treasure-Seeker Spirit, it learned ghost-type skills more easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was also a chance it would awaken a curse-type skill when evolving into a Ghost-Ring Phantom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was similar to how Yabao awakened his ability to sense through touch and spectral fire when he evolved into Flame Hound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, to evolve into a Ghost-Ring Phantom, the Treasure-Seeker Demon’s circular ring had to first split into two, but Qiao Sang didn’t know the exact process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She only knew that the number of Treasure-Seeker Spirits far exceeded that of Ghost-Ring Phantoms because the evolution conditions and materials required for the latter were much more difficult to obtain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between the two, Qiao Sang preferred the Ghost-Ring Phantom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure already had a psychic attribute, and his skills didn’t need to be numerous, the psychic and ghost-type skills alone would keep it busy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, it seemed more advantageous to evolve into a Ghost-Ring Phantom, which could master ghost-type skills more easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Yao wasn’t surprised by her choice, as Ghost-Ring Phantoms were far rarer than Treasure-Seeker Spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you want it to evolve into a Ghost-Ring Phantom, you need to first teach it Will-o’-the-Wisp. Then, for a week, use the flame to temper its ring. Once the ring splits into two, you can use Dark Soul Crystals at night to trigger its evolution.” Liu Yao explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang was stunned. “Will-o’-the-Wisp? Isn’t that a fire-type skill?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s why I told you to prepare while it’s still a Treasure-Seeking Ghost. Even though Treasure-Seeking Ghost is a ghost-type, its ring can absorb materials of different attributes. It can use the ring as a medium to release Will-o’-the-Wisp.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As it evolves, the ring’s capacity to absorb energy increases. If you wait until it becomes a Treasure-Seeker Demon to teach it Will-o’-the-Wisp, the materials required would be more than ten times greater.” Liu Yao explained further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang felt overwhelmed by this sudden knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t help but ask, “Is the ring really that powerful? Does that mean as long as I have enough materials, it can learn other attribute skills too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was the Treasure-Seeking Ghost’s ring really that amazing? How had she never heard of this before?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wouldn’t that mean the Treasure-Seeking Ghost could use its ring as a medium to release all sorts of skills from other attributes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she rounded up, wouldn’t that make it an all-attribute beast?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That couldn’t be right!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that were true, the Treasure-Seeking Ghost would be selling like crazy.Why would it still be out there struggling to get by?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve got quite the imagination.” Liu Yao laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course not. The ring can absorb materials of different attributes but only extracts the energy needed to expand its internal space.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Will-o’-the-Wisp is an exception because it contains a ghost element. The materials required to teach it that skill have been carefully studied over time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can’t just use random fire-type materials to get it to absorb and release Will-o’-the-Wisp.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, so that’s how it works!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang finally understood. She couldn’t be blamed for her confusion, though, Liu Yao’s explanation had touched on her knowledge blind spots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the examination, Liu Yao went to his desk and quickly wrote up two cultivation plans by hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang leaned in for a closer look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, unlike doctors’ handwriting, it wasn’t completely illegible…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the school, Qiao Sang, holding the two cultivation plans prepared by an A-level breeder, headed to the nearest beast cultivation institute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beast cultivation institutes didn’t just help design a beast’s growth trajectory; they could also create energy pellets based on specific material formulas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Energy pellets perfectly blended all necessary nutrients and were easy to carry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could even be customized to match a beast’s preferred flavor, making them the ideal choice for energy-based meals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Qiao Sang now had the formula, she had never made one before. If anything went wrong during the process, all the materials would be wasted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Figuring it was best to leave professional tasks to professionals, she decided to visit the institute.\u003C\u002Fp>",1268,"2026-06-06T02:23:08.562Z",1,"novelbin.me","c0f520ad0c3a046dfd5ee567a2a8dcff4b579bfb5216454336a459c2a4ad1551","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-141","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-139",1023,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-starting-from-zero-cover.jpg"]
