Beast Tamer: Awakening a Mythical Talent at the Beginning

“Fortunately, your unique ability led us to her, or we would have missed out on such talent.”

Upon learning about Qiao Gubai’s situation, Bai Jingchong sighed with emotion.

He hadn’t expected such a twist behind the matter.

However, it was indeed the case.

After all, luck as a talent was far too elusive.

Even if Qiao Gubai awakened this ability, if Bai Zian hadn’t accidentally discovered it, it would likely have faded into obscurity, ultimately being forgotten.

But now, things were different.

With the Bai family nurturing Qiao Gubai, she might grow into a powerful Beast Tamer.

Perhaps, in the distant future, Qiao Gubai could even become a trump card for the Bai family.

Thinking of this, Bai Jingchong had already made up his mind to allocate some resources to cultivate Qiao Gubai.

“By the way, Xiao An, you haven’t told anyone else about Qiao Gubai’s talent, right?”

Seemingly recalling something, Bai Jingchong asked Bai Zian.

Qiao Gubai’s special attribute was her talent, and this ability could either be a major asset or a source of trouble.

If word got out, it could invite unnecessary complications.

“No, I haven’t, and I won’t reveal it to anyone.”

Bai Zian shook his head.

He fully understood the importance of this matter and naturally wouldn’t let it slip.

In fact, besides Bai Jingchong, Bai Zian hadn’t told a third person.

He hadn’t even shared the information with his own parents.

After all, the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

Only then did Bai Jingchong feel relieved.

Of course, Bai Zian didn’t forget to inform Bai Jingchong about the specifics of Qiao Gubai’s talent.

Once these matters were resolved, Qiao Gubai’s situation was put to rest, for the time being.

“The evolution materials you mentioned before—I’ve already gathered them for you; they’re all in the family’s treasure vault.”

“But remember, when it comes to evolving the White-scaled Fish, don’t rush it.”

Bai Jingchong brought up the topic of the White-scaled Fish’s evolution.

This time, he didn’t say much, only advising Bai Zian to take his time and not be overly hasty.

“Understood, Grandpa.”

Bai Zian was a bit surprised.

He hadn’t expected Bai Jingchong to refrain from lecturing him.

This puzzled Bai Zian, but he didn’t dwell on it, simply expressing his gratitude before taking his leave to return home.

All the trivial matters were now handled, and it was time to focus on preparing the White-scaled Fish for its evolution.

As for the ruckus Bai Zian caused in Candlefire City, including his confrontation with that scrawny Beast Tamer, Bai Jingchong didn’t even bring it up.

To him, such matters were insignificant—a mere trifle.

Disciplining a small spoiled brat? That hardly counts as anything.

In this, the grandfather and grandson shared a mutual understanding.

Soon, Bai Zian left the office and returned to the City Lord’s Mansion.

However, instead of going straight to his room, he headed to the lake behind the villa and summoned the White-scaled Fish.

“White-scaled Fish, you stay here for a while and rest up.”

Bai Zian spoke to the White-scaled Fish.

Before its evolution, Bai Zian also needed some preparation.

This was a good opportunity to let the White-scaled Fish rest by its mother’s side for a few days.

The White-scaled Fish was quite pleased with this.

Afterward, Bai Zian left the lake, returned to the villa, and headed to the underground treasure vault.

“The heart of the White Shadow Whale, the Frost Ink Fur, Bai Yunliu, White Bone Armor… In such a short time, all the materials have been gathered.”

“Perfect! Now, as soon as the refining process is complete, the White-scaled Fish’s evolution can begin.”

Bai Zian muttered in delight.

The Bai family truly lived up to its reputation as the foremost family in Bai Lin City, having quickly gathered all the materials he needed.

This filled Bai Zian with joy.

However, evolving the White-scaled Fish wasn’t as simple as merely collecting all the materials and piling them in front of the fish.

The process also required refining some auxiliary materials into a special elixir.

Finally, the White-scaled Fish would need to be placed in a pool of this elixir, combined with the heart of the White Shadow Whale and other main materials, to complete its evolution.

That was the evolution process for the White-scaled Fish.

Thus, Bai Zian had said it would take some time to prepare.

Naturally, Bai Zian had no intention of entrusting this critical task to the Bai family’s trainers.

To him, the evolution of the White-scaled Fish was of utmost importance, and he wouldn’t tolerate any mistakes.

With this in mind, Bai Zian moved all the materials into an empty room.

He ordered Bai Zhi and Bai Shao to stand guard outside, ensuring no one would approach and maintaining secrecy.

Once that was settled, Bai Zian began the process of crafting the elixir.

Although he hadn’t done this before, with the assistance of the [Eye of Revelation], Bai Zian could perfectly control the process.

After spending some time, Bai Zian finally completed the task.

“Now, we just need to wait a day for the elixir to fully form, and then the White-scaled Fish’s evolution can proceed.”

Bai Zian murmured to himself.

This was the perfect opportunity to take a well-deserved rest.

However, despite his words, Bai Zian didn’t actually rest. Instead, he started organizing the gains from his trip to Candlefire City.

This time, Bai Zian had made several gains.

First, the White-scaled Fish had broken through to the ninth tier of unranked beasts, which was an obvious achievement.

Second, he had obtained various items from the mutated Candlefire Spider leader, including its core and a special Awakening Origin Stone.

Third, he had acquired a fragment of a king-level beast’s core from the black market in Candlefire City.

These were Bai Zian’s main gains.

While he couldn’t use the beast cores for now, his attention was drawn to the Awakening Source Stone.

“How should I deal with this Awakening Source Stone? Should I let the White-scaled Fish awaken another talent?”

Bai Zian fell into deep thought, pondering this question.
