The Master of Beasts
Chapter 909 - 310: The Evolution of the Moonwatch Rabbit (Part 2)
"Moonlight Grass, Jade Dew, Silver Light Dew..."
Most of the evolutionary spiritual materials needed for the Moon Gazing Rabbit are related to the Moonlight Power, which Chen Jiuge could actually deduce without using the Chaos Pearl.
"But, after the Moon Gazing Rabbit evolves, will it transform into a Moon Rabbit?"
Thinking of this possibility, Chen Jiuge felt restless.
Before long, Yue Meng arrived at the Hundred Beasts Plain, scented with the fragrance of elixirs and in a hurry.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Jiuge chuckled, "You might be getting a new sibling!"
"Huh?"
Yue Meng, utterly puzzled, touched Chen Jiuge's forehead with a small hand, still smiling foolishly, and said, "No fever, yet you're talking nonsense!"
"I am a true Divine Beast. How could there possibly be a second one..."
Seeing Yue Meng suddenly falter, Chen Jiuge said, "Thought of it, eh? This isn't the Heavenly Realm, but the Heavenly Gift Realm!"
"It's not impossible for a second Moon Rabbit to appear!"
Imagining the possibility of gaining a sibling, Yue Meng's face couldn't hide the confliction.
"Alright, it's not certain yet. Come and see the results with me!"
"Buzzing"
Immersed in cultivating the Moon Gazing Rabbit, Chen Jiuge didn't notice Yue Meng's extremely complicated expression.
"Was it successful?"
"No, it seems it failed!"
"Boom"
A huge explosion sounded, causing Chen Jiuge to step back with Yue Meng and wave away the dust in front of them.
"Failed? It shouldn't be!"
Chen Jiuge examined the rabbit, now much weaker, with a thoughtful expression.
In actuality, it wasn't a complete failure because the Moon Gazing Rabbit did evolve, just that the evolution was negative.
Originally close to Silver Blade Level, the Moon Gazing Rabbit's strength dropped sharply to Warrior Level after this mutation.
"But this ability seems quite good!"
The original talent ability to absorb Moonlight Power and enhance the physical body has transformed into absorbing the free-floating Life Spirit Mechanism from the heavens and earth. These not only enhance the body but can also heal wounds and even accelerate the growth of Spirit Plants, improving their quality.
"Transforming a combat-type Spiritual Beast into a production type, the Chaos Pearl's ability seems even more extraordinary!"
The lack of success in cultivating a Moon Rabbit was somewhat disappointing, but this Life Rabbit before them was still quite remarkable, at least capable of greatly increasing Spirit Plant yields. If there are enough of them, maybe those Spirit Rice seeds brought from the True Realm could be widely sown.
The number of cultivators in the True Realm is limited, so their focus is more on Spiritual Medicine, and Spirit Rice is merely randomly sown and naturally grown without careful management, so its yield is predictable.
However, the appearance of the Life Rabbit can fill this gap.
"Master, if you only wanted me to see this, then I'll head back. I still have many elixirs to refine!"
For some reason, seeing the Moon Gazing Rabbit's evolution fail caused Yue Meng to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Ahem, alright, you go ahead. I'll let you know when I've cultivated it!"
Having spent many years with Chen Jiuge, Yue Meng has some understanding of his capabilities, knowing that attempting to cultivate the Moon Gazing Rabbit into a Moon Rabbit is nearly impossible.
"Let's gather all the Moon Gazing Rabbits first then!"
"I remember we captured a small group of Moon Gazing Rabbits."
Just about to take action, Chen Jiuge stopped: "No, why am I always thinking of doing it myself? I am a Beast Master!"
"Buzzing"
The Beast Taming Mark in the Sea of Consciousness trembled, except for Yue Meng who needed to refine elixirs and artifacts and Bali who helped Dabai with artifact refining, Black Eye who held an important position in the city, and Zhan Ge and other Guardians, all other Guardian Beasts received Chen Jiuge's orders.
Of course, the Exotic Beasts in the Chaos World were not counted.
Due to specialized cultivation techniques, the total number of Guardian Beasts Chen Jiuge contracted had reached over ten thousand, but, as the saying goes, people have different levels of intimacy, and it was the same with these Exotic Beasts for Chen Jiuge.
The Mountain and Sea Strange Beasts contracted later cannot compare with the early Spirit Beasts contracted in the Heavenly Realm.
"Master's summons?"
Many Guardians playing in Star Moon City felt a sudden curiosity.
Within a short quarter of an hour, a multitude of figures appeared before Chen Jiuge.
"Very good!"
"Now I have a task for you!"
"Separate those Fierce Beasts in the Hundred Beasts Plain by species!"
"Is that all?" Second-in-Command grumbled twice, somewhat displeased.
Chen Jiuge didn't respond, just waved to signal them to begin!
As the Guardian Beasts scattered, Chen Jiuge slightly shook his head: "These Fierce Beasts are not simple, quite a few have reached the Golden Saber Level, I wonder if you've still got enough strength after lying low for so long."
As Chen Jiuge predicted, the Guardian Beasts encountered numerous difficulties while attempting to capture the Fierce Beasts.
First was strength; these Fierce Beasts weren't weak, each possessing some hidden skills, otherwise, they couldn't have survived after the legion's plow and made it here.
Moreover, Fierce Beasts in the Heavenly Gift Realm, regardless of strength, mostly choose to live in groups. Some even, though preferring solitude, will quickly band together in dangerous environments.
"Master, I am here!"
A whistling voice came from not far away.
Turning to look, Chen Jiuge was instantly stunned by the Silver King's appearance: "What's this new look of yours? Quite advanced!"
Silver white feathers seemed to be ironed, virtually all stood on end, sharp eagle eyes surrounded by significant dark circles, and most amusingly, its beak, bent at a fifty-degree angle.
Simply put, the Silver King got beaten up, and in such a way that its beak was bent.
"Master, don't laugh at me, here are the Moon Gazing Rabbits you wanted!"
Dropping off three disheveled Moon Gazing Rabbits, the Silver King flapped its wings and swiftly ascended.
"Hehe, feeling shy are you?"
With a chuckle, Chen Jiuge returned his focus to the Moon Gazing Rabbits.
"Boom"
"Boom"
"Boom"
The succession of explosions excited a curiosity in the Guardian Beasts. What Spirit Beast is the master cultivating to cause such a commotion!
"Still a Life Rabbit!"
Chen Jiuge's eyes flickered uncertainly; following the Chaos Pearl's formula, all resulted in Life Rabbits, making Chen Jiuge realize that stagnation brings no new results.
In subsequent cultivation, he altered some spiritual materials in the formula, but the outcomes remained the same.
It simply varied the intensity of Life Rabbit's absorption of the Life Spirit Mechanism.
"Seems like the Moon Gazing Rabbit's variant is the Life Rabbit. Indeed, the Fierce Beasts in the Heavenly Gift Realm and the Spirit Beasts in the True Realm are vastly different!"
"This transformation is unbelievably stable indeed!"
"Alright then, after cultivating the last few Moon Gazing Rabbits, I will focus on other Fierce Beasts. These Life Rabbits will be useful for planting Spirit Rice, so it's not without gain!"
Unintentional willow makes shade.
The last few Moon Gazing Rabbits yielded a miracle; although they weren't Moon Rabbits, another kind of Spiritual Beast emerged.
"Interesting, from absorbing Life Spirit Mechanism and enhancing Spirit Plant growth rate to producing Water of Life autonomously, greatly enhancing Spirit Plants and even guiding their mutation!"
"Seems like the Moon Gazing Rabbit's ancestors weren't battle-type Spiritual Beasts!"
Why they became battle-type Spirit Beasts now was guessed by Chen Jiuge to be due to living conditions.
Many Spiritual Beasts choose to evolve into the most suitable abilities for survival during times of change, either becoming inedible, stronger, or increasing concealment abilities.
The Moon Gazing Rabbit likely opted to forsake its former production ability, significantly enhancing its battle capability.
However, these things had little to do with Chen Jiuge. This second evolved type, Chen Jiuge named the Life Moon Rabbit!
The name also encapsulates Chen Jiuge's hope that the Moon Gazing Rabbit could evolve into a Moon Rabbit!
"Let's put the Moon Gazing Rabbit's cultivation on hold first, just enough time to settle these Life Rabbits!"
Seeing the surrounding empty field, it could be organized into a thousand acres of Spirit Field, although small for over a hundred Life Rabbits, it suffices for now.
With the Life Moon Rabbit as the leader, it led the other Life Rabbits in reclaiming and planting the field.
This small task wasted about seven days for Chen Jiuge. Fierce Beasts, even after cultivation, still lacked spiritual wisdom; most of this time was spent teaching them how to use tools and noting points when planting Spirit Rice.
