Chapter 22: Pitiful

After leaving the Training Ground, Li Zhangsheng took Aixi back to the small courtyard.

After pushing open the room door, he happened to see Kailan condensing Wood Energy, a clump of emerald green liquid taking shape in an instant.

This was naturally the Healing Spring; even though the Healing Spring could only last for a few days, it still possessed considerable value.

Most importantly, this was also a continuous source of wealth.

If one observed carefully, they would discover that this batch of Healing Spring was slightly larger than yesterday's; although the increase was limited, many a little makes a mickle, and this was progress.

Under Kailan's control, the emerald green liquid traced a parabolic arc and landed in an open clay pot to the side.

The next moment, Kailan struggled to seal the clay pot, trying her best to avoid energy leakage.

After finishing everything, Kailan finally had time to attend to Li Zhangsheng, immediately flying over and landing on Li Zhangsheng's shoulder.

"Kailan, you've worked hard!" For the diligent Spirit Beast, Li Zhangsheng did not stint on his praise, especially after seeing the results, he was even more overjoyed.

In the corner of the room, several clay pots were placed, three of which were sealed, indicating that Kailan was diligent and hardworking, without the slightest sign of slacking off.

Of course, this was also related to Kailan's improvement.

"It's not hard work!" Kailan shook her little head vigorously; receiving Li Zhangsheng's praise made her feel genuinely excited, as if even the fatigue of her body and mind had dissipated completely.

Kailan was simple-minded; she only felt that no matter how dull and tedious it was, as long as she gained Li Zhangsheng's approval, it was all worth it.

"Come, this is your reward!"

After praising her, Li Zhangsheng also gave a substantial reward, handing a Lower-rank Wood Element Demon Core to Kailan.

Compared to three pots of Healing Spring, the value of one Lower-rank Demon Core was naturally far inferior.

"Wow, Kailan got a reward!"

Holding the Wood Element Demon Core, Kailan excitedly flapped her wings and landed on Aixi's head.

Aixi was a bit annoyed and subconsciously wanted to shake her head, but upon thinking that it was Kailan who produced the Healing Spring, she had to stop her movement.

Can't afford to offend her! Can't afford to offend her!

Even so, in order to maintain her dignity, Aixi slightly raised her head, putting on an arrogant look.

It was also at this moment that Kailan rashly swallowed the Wood Element Demon Core.

However, although the Wood Element Demon Core was small, for the petite Kailan, it was as big as her fist.

No surprise, Kailan did not succeed in swallowing it; instead, the Demon Core got stuck in her throat, causing her throat to bulge out significantly.

Her throat moved forcefully, but she could not swallow it no matter what.

Awoo~

Kailan grabbed her throat, her pretty face flushed red from holding her breath, and she hurriedly jumped a few times, but she still couldn't swallow it down. Her eyes were slightly red, revealing a panicked look, and she pitifully sought help from Li Zhangsheng.

"You are too impatient; can't you just hold it and absorb it!"

Li Zhangsheng was a bit speechless, but his movements were fast; he had to use his Mental Power to assist Kailan in swallowing the Demon Core.

With Li Zhangsheng's help, Kailan managed to swallow the Demon Core, revealing a look of relief.

Suddenly, a hazy green halo began to emerge, instantly enveloping Kailan, setting off her exquisite petite body even more gorgeously.

Under arduous training, Kailan was already at the critical point of a breakthrough, and the energy of this Demon Core helped her further complete her accumulation.

In the halo, Kailan began to grow slowly.

Poof~ Poof~ Rip~

Suddenly, a slight tearing sound rang out; the clothes woven from bamboo leaves began to show cracks, and finally, they could no longer hold up and were forcibly torn apart by Kailan, revealing a nearly perfect body, perfectly interpreting the profound essence of 'the clothes are all gone in the broad daylight'!

"It's a bit small, but there is still plenty of room for growth!"

During this process, Li Zhangsheng did not look away, but in his heart, he was amazed, seeing Kailan's whole body thoroughly.

Soon, Kailan completed her transformation; her size was a bit larger than before, and her realm had even been promoted; her advancement speed seemed to exceed even Aixi's.

"Ya!"

At this time, Kailan finally discovered something was wrong, and couldn't help but scream, covering her 'vital parts' with both hands, and flew to a potted plant in the room, using the plant to cover herself while picking the leaves on it.

In a rustling sound, the clever Kailan wove a set of green clothes and put them on herself.

After covering her body, Kailan flew up again and landed in front of Li Zhangsheng.

Suddenly, her eyes burst out with a gorgeous luster, like a forest coming back to life, extremely beautiful!

Looking at Kailan's eyes, Li Zhangsheng was deeply attracted by them, completely unable to look away; his heart seemed to be infected, and his compassion was magnified rapidly, unable to extricate himself!

However, Li Zhangsheng was, after all, a Monster Tamer who specialized in Mental Power, and he had strong immunity to this kind of skill that affected the will; plus, Kailan was still very weak, so he soon broke free.

"So you even comprehended Pitiful!" After being slightly stunned, Li Zhangsheng revealed a brilliant smile.

Pitiful belongs to the mental skill category; many cute and sweet-looking Spirit Beasts can master this skill. This skill cannot directly cause damage, but uses the eyes to charm the opponent's will, and can restrict them for a certain period of time depending on the opponent's strength and will.

Of course, if the gap in realm is too large, or the opponent's will is too high, Pitiful also has the possibility of failing.

Even so, this improved Kailan's support ability; if she cooperated with Aixi, as long as she made the opponent lose focus for a moment, it would easily cause the opponent to make a fatal mistake.

After playing with the two Demon Pets for a while, Li Zhangsheng began to direct two Servants to bring over a pile of smaller clay pots.

Compared to the original clay pots, these were much smaller, less than ten centimeters in height, and the volume was only about 1/5 of the original, looking like small wine jars.

After waving the Servants away, Li Zhangsheng divided the Healing Spring into the small clay pots.

After a busy spell, Li Zhangsheng filled a total of thirteen small clay pots; besides holding a few jars himself, he hung all the remaining pots on Aixi.

Aixi was a bit annoyed, but thinking that these were all Healing Spring, she could only suppress her inner displeasure and let Li Zhangsheng do as he pleased.

"Kailan, remember to balance work and rest, don't work too hard!" Before leaving, Li Zhangsheng specifically exhorted Kailan.

"Got it! You and Aixi also need to work hard ＾０＾~!"

After returning to the Training Ground, the time was already approaching noon; after placing this batch of clay pots in the corner, Li Zhangsheng directed Aixi to continue training.

There is no shortcut to cultivating Demon Pets; the best method is nothing more than combining combat and training to constantly improve the Demon Pets' capabilities in all aspects.

Just as Aixi was unfolding her training in full swing, a figure stood in front of Li Zhangsheng.
