After Chu Chen left, Long Batian imdiately made several communications.
By noon, Wu Zhenghao left the Cyan Dragon Daoist School with a bitter smile. He did not return directly to the auction house but instead dialed Wu Yingxiong’s communicator.
"Make every effort to gather the items Chu Chen needs, and don’t spare the cost." With that, he hung up the communication.
Wu Yingxiong was left standing there in a daze. His father’s trip to the Cyan Dragon Daoist School seed to have strengthened his resolve to invest in Chu Chen even more.
However, he didn’t have the ti to ponder over these matters now. After all, Chu Chen would be leaving tomorrow, so he needed to collect as many Star-Raising Fruits as possible.
Chu Chen went to the market to buy so local specialties, intending to take them back for his family and friends to try.
By evening, Wu Yingxiong found Chu Chen again, holding a wooden box, his eyes filled with joy.
He quickly approached Chu Chen, smiling as he said, "Brother Chu, I did not disappoint you." With that, he handed over the wooden box.
The box was rectangular, about twenty centiters in height and width, and forty centiters in length. Its surface was engraved with intricate patterns, and it exuded a faint fragrance.
Clearly, the box had been ticulously chosen.
Chu Chen courteously received the box.
Upon opening it, he discovered twenty-four Star-Raising Fruits inside, with nine First-Grade and Second-Grade each, three Third-Grade, two Fourth-Grade, and one Fifth-Grade.
Seeing this, Chu Chen’s face lit up with joy. Although there were not many high-quality Star-Raising Fruits, the quantity was quite decent. Managing to collect so many Star-Raising Fruits in just one day showed that the Wu family had indeed been diligent.
After securing the box, Chu Chen cupped his hands toward Wu Yingxiong and said, "Thank you very much."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yingxiong showed a look of relief. His heart finally settled. After having been reproached earlier in the day, receiving Chu Chen’s acknowledgnt was a comfort to Long Batian.
After bidding farewell to Wu Yingxiong, Chu Chen returned to school to begin his seclusion.
Gazing at the Star-Raising Fruits in hand, Chu Chen couldn’t help but sigh. Although he had quite a few Star-Raising Fruits, each Guardian Beast could only consu three per major Realm, which limited the speed of their Realm advancent.
However, he had an even more extravagant thod, which was to use Heavenly and Earthly Treasures as supplents.
Although this would waste a lot of the dicinal power, Chu Chen currently had the backing of the Wu family, so he temporarily lacked neither Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.
To most Beast Masters, this thod would lead to Guardian Beasts with empty Realms but unmatched strength, akin to spoiling things through excessive enthusiasm.
However, with the Slaughter Atlas, Chu Chen only needed sufficient Slaughter Value for Skills to reach Perfection Level in no ti, and he spent most of his ti in battle, so he did not worry about his Guardian Beasts experiencing the aforentioned issues.
Chu Chen sat cross-legged, summoned Shadow Kill, Cage, Feng Shuang, and Duofu with a wave of his hand, and then took out more than a dozen Heavenly and Earthly Treasures from the Spatial Ring.
He began by tossing two pitch-black fruits to Shadow Kill. These were Profound Rank Upper Grade Dark Fruits, rich in Star Power and abundant with Dark Elent.
Previously, Shadow Kill had ingested a tal Bloom, resulting in a significant boost in its strength and Domain, which caused an imbalance in its control over the elents. The Gold Elent’s proportion during skill usage was overly high—though the power indeed increased significantly in the short term, it would adversely affect its future developnt.
For instance, imbalance in elent control during evolution could lead to failure.
Moreover, during breakthroughs to higher Realms, bottlenecks could arise, hindering breakthroughs.
Shadow Kill wasted no ti, imdiately devouring the two Dark Fruits.
Seeing this, Chu Chen was quite satisfied. He then distributed a variety of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures to Cage and Feng Shuang, instructing them to consu only one type at a ti.
Chu Chen did this to prevent them from consuming Heavenly and Earthly Treasures with conflicting Attributes simultaneously, turning treasures into poisons.
Cage and Feng Shuang obediently complied, though their refining speeds differed noticeably.
Cage, being much larger, refined the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures several tis faster than Feng Shuang.
Watching Cage gobble like a glutton, Feng Shuang subconsciously stored the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures in front of it into the Spatial Ring.
This scene prompted an unhappy growl from Cage, as if complaining about the lack of trust.
Seeing this, Chu Chen chuckled. These little guys had grown up together, closer even than Lei Yao and Nirvana, frequently having playful squabbles.
Duofu watched as the others feasted, eyes filled with longing, but the aura they exuded was too intimidating for him to approach. If it weren’t for a certain mutual closeness, he might have fled already.
Seeing Duofu’s expression, Chu Chen laughed. Being the overlord of a Fifth-Level Secret Realm, he had high hopes for the little guy’s future.
Chu Chen approached Duofu and fetched several Star Treasures rich in Star Power from the Spatial Ring, ranging from Level 3 to 5.
Duofu looked at the Star Treasures then compared them to the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures before the other three beasts, almost bursting into tears from grievance.
Without contrast, there’s no harm; the disparity was glaringly vast.
Noticing this, Chu Chen patted the little guy’s head gently, saying, "Your current Realm is too low. Those Heavenly and Earthly Treasures would be poison to you; you simply can’t handle them. But don’t worry, once your Realm improves, there will be plenty of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures for you." With that, he waved a few Heavenly and Earthly Treasures before him.
Hearing this, Duofu’s mood lightened significantly, and it began munching on the Star Treasures voraciously in front of it.
The sight of its little paws holding onto the Star Treasures and nibbling was truly adorable.
About a quarter of an hour later, Duofu’s eyes snapped open, and its aura slightly increased, advancing from Servant Level First Rank to Second Rank.
In the upcoming ti, almost every fifteen minutes, Duofu’s Realm would advance by one rank.
In just two short hours, Duofu successfully broke through to War General Level.
This speed could only be described as terrifying, though it was within reason. Duofu’s quality was Epic Level; even without consuming Star Treasures, it would have reached War General Level within half a month. Chu Chen rely expedited the process.
Duofu consud dozens of Star Treasures, reaching Servant Level Seventh Rank, and then ingested three First-Grade Star-Raising Fruits in succession, finally stepping into War General Level.
Chu Chen was using money to buy ti. If other Beast Masters learned of his thods, they’d likely label him a spendthrift.
But what Chu Chen currently lacked was ti, not money.
After examining Duofu, Chu Chen discovered so superficial Star Power within, evidently a side effect of the overly rapid Realm ascension.
Chu Chen imdiately gathered up the Star Treasures in front of Duofu, fearing it would continue consuming them.
Duofu now needed to stabilize, or it would hit a bottleneck soon.
anwhile, Shadow Kill, too, made breakthroughs to Lord Level Seventh Rank, prompting Chu Chen to provide three Fourth-Grade Star-Raising Fruits for consumption.
True to expectations, Shadow Kill made consecutive breakthroughs, rising from Lord Level Seventh Rank directly to Monarch Level First Rank.
The tal Bloom had granted Shadow Kill the tal Body Talent, eliminating the need to endow it with further Talents upon reaching Monarch Level.
Cage and Feng Shuang, after consuming several Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, made consecutive breakthroughs of two minor Realms overnight, ascending from First Rank Commander Level to Third Rank.
Chu Chen, too, with the feedback from the four Guardian Beasts, successfully broke through to Soul Master Level Second Rank.
