Beast Taming, my intelligence updates daily.

Chapter 63 The Birth of the Blood Gu Butterfly
"Well then, I just finished a project recently, and it's been so long since we, teacher and student, have seen each other. I'll come over here to relax."

"Take a look at your recent research results, and see if you've been slacking off."

"While you're at it, visit your grandfather and try to persuade him to change his mindset."

"Don't worry about my safety. You know how tight my security team is."

After Su Qingxian finished speaking, she hung up the phone. When Zhang Lingxue called back, she found that the call could not be connected.

At that moment, a synthesized voice came through the video call.

"Ms. Zhang, there is only one valid video call allowed."

"If you need to be connected again, you will need to apply again."

Zhang Lingxue knew that no one could change her teacher's decisions.

There was no point in calling back, so Zhang Lingxue dismissed the idea.

When she returned to the lab, suddenly…!!!

((‖))
Did she go to the wrong lab?

Why are there three giant cocoons in the lab? One of them is even different in shape, radiating a luster like a pigeon blood ruby.

Masaka?
Did Ye Bai succeed?
Zhang Lingxue blinked her eyes.

Is she dreaming?

You should know that she has been studying the ever-changing silkworm for so long, and the average research time for each evolutionary route is two years.

So Ye Bai accomplished it in just two days?

Zhang Lingxue was dumbfounded.

This photographic memory is terrifying!

Yesterday I was comforting him, saying that failure is the mother of success, and today he's already destroyed that very mother of success!

and many more.

Where did the blood sample I put next to the instrument go?

Could it be that Ye Bai threw it away?

It's over.

Zhang Lingxue had a bad feeling.

Although she learned from her teacher that the Gu worms would not easily infect humans, she was unsure whether the Gu worms might have mutated due to her grandfather consuming so many rare and precious herbs.

At this moment, the Sunflower King emerged from the ground, using its roots as legs, and came to Zhang Lingxue.

"It's you, little one."

Zhang Lingxue had a good impression of Sunflower King.

She bent down and rubbed the Sunflower King's little head.

Are you just standing guard over there?

Where did Ye Bai run off to?

"Are you able to contact him?"

Before Zhang Lingxue could finish her question, Ye Bai walked in through the side door. He had gone to the school cafeteria to buy food.

Big Grey ran back to the breeding house to entertain Sophia. Now Sophia is a big customer of the entire breeding house, and she buys a lot of things every time she comes.

But every time, he asks Big Gray to accompany him, because Lightning Cat is shy and only gets close to Big Gray.

"Ye Bai, have you seen the test tube I put next to the testing equipment?"

Zhang Lingxue looked at Ye Bai with a nervous expression.

If Ye Bai accidentally uses it, she will immediately check whether Ye Bai has been invaded by these cunning Gu worms.

When Zhang Lingxue asked this question, Ye Bai quickly came up with a bold guess.

It seems he knows where the mysterious poison came from.

"Teacher, should we check the security camera footage to see where the item was?"

"I came here early this morning to make sure I didn't see that test tube. I thought you took it with you, teacher!"

After Ye Bai said that, Zhang Lingxue hesitated for a moment.

Perhaps I've misremembered the location.

There's been so much going on these past few days, it's normal to have some memory lapses.

I wish I had a photographic memory.

Ying Ying Ying!
I envy my students so much! Why don't I have this talent?! (Dark, twisted crawling.)

Zhang Lingxue quickly arrived at the monitoring room and retrieved the laboratory's surveillance video.

The surveillance footage shows that the test tube was indeed next to the testing equipment before Zhang Lingxue left.

At this moment, the Goddess of Light Butterfly appeared, radiating white light, and one of the Hundred Transformations Silkworms was awakened by the Goddess of Light Butterfly's bright light.

It groggily got up, smacking its lips.

The ever-changing silkworm seemed to be looking for something to eat; it was looking around.

Its gaze then fell upon the test tube. The creature stealthily pushed open the glass window with its tongue and used its silk-spitting skill to drag the test tube over little by little.

Finally, it opened its enormous mouth, chewed the test tube to pieces, and swallowed it.

A layer of blood mist rose from its body, but it eventually returned to calm and fell into a deep sleep.

The monitoring has reached this point, which basically proves that the test tube was swallowed by that ever-changing silkworm.

Ye Bai lowered his head in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, teacher, I forgot to close the window before I left."

"That's why the ever-changing silkworm devoured the precious samples you left behind."

Zhang Lingxue waved her hand: "Forget it, that thing isn't worth mentioning."

"I noticed that one of your evolved Hundred-Change Silkworms is a little different. Could it be that it evolved from that Hundred-Change Silkworm?"

Ye Bai rubbed his temples: "It should be that ever-changing silkworm."

"It devoured a lot of fourth-tier beast meat that I bought on the black market."

"It is only at the very end that it spins silk and forms a cocoon."

Ye Bai's heart was bleeding; nearly four million Alliance Coins!!!

The key issue is that this versatile silkworm probably won't be able to reveal its evolutionary path.

The mysterious Gu poison played a significant role in the evolutionary experiments of the Blood Gu Butterfly.

Moreover, if Ye Bai wasn't mistaken, this Blood Gu Butterfly should be a fourth-tier pet beast.

What does it mean that a high school student with no background invented a fourth-tier pet?

It's like a toddler holding a strategic weapon.

Once people find out, I'll definitely be thoroughly investigated. I only thought about inventing a fourth-tier pet as a bonus, but I overlooked this point.

However, Zhang Lingxue could be allowed to publish the results and have the credit attributed to her.

It's perfectly normal for a leading figure in the field who discovered the evolutionary path of the Hundred-Change Silkworm to discover a new evolutionary path for it.

Now that Zhang Lingxue and he have a master-disciple relationship, as Zhang Lingxue's status rises, Ye Bai will naturally reap many benefits.

Moreover, Zhang Lingxue and Principal Zhang have a special relationship.

This golden thigh is much thicker than I imagined.

"Let me see your lab records."

Ye Bai handed Zhang Lingxue his recent handwritten experimental records, which she carefully reviewed.

"These materials were all looted from the beast tide; they were practically free."

"So that's how you found an evolutionary path."

"Your research talent is truly terrifying. I knew I hadn't misjudged you."

Zhang Lingxue was very satisfied; of course, she was increasingly pleased with her own apprentice.

"It's a pity I had something to do these past few days, otherwise I would have stayed here to observe the moment they emerge from their cocoons."

"Ye Bai, make sure you record the experiment carefully."

"This could be a major discovery."

Ye Bai nodded, suddenly remembering his idea of ​​starting a Sunflower Cleaning Company. So he mentioned it to Zhang Lingxue.

"Your idea is quite good. To be honest, the Pet Beast Guild is also having a lot of headaches dealing with the beast tide."

“Every time there is a beast tide, in addition to the post-disaster reconstruction work, a large sum of money is spent on cleaning up the corpses of the beasts.”

"This time, I also saw that the sunflower was extremely effective at cleaning up flesh and blood."

"I'll call other pet guilds that have experienced beast tides later to see if they need it."

Do you have enough sunflowers?

"If that's not enough, you might have to rent sunflowers from the school, which would mean paying rent to the school."

“I will negotiate a 30/70 split with the school, after all, your Sunflower King needs to oversee the whole situation.”

"If successful, my apprentice and I will have no shortage of research material."

Zhang Lingxue smiled, her eyes crinkling, feeling she had gotten a great deal by having such an outstanding student.

Just then, a clicking sound came from the laboratory.

Ye Bai and Zhang Lingxue looked up and saw that the two giant cocoons were shaking violently.

A hint of excitement appeared on their faces.

This is about to emerge from its cocoon.

Two enormous bladed arms emerged from the giant cocoon.

Blood-red mist emerged from the giant cocoon.

Two wet insects could be vaguely seen crawling out of it.

Their wings are pressed tightly against their backs, and they have four scythe-like, blade-like arms.

Blood-red mist swirled around the blade arm, making it look somewhat terrifying.

Then their wings began to spread out.

This action needs to be sustained for a period of time, as they need to continuously pump blood into their wings to allow them to fully unfold.

The enormous, blood-red compound eyes were looking in the direction of Ye Bai and Zhang Lingxue.

Ye Bai saw a bloodthirsty look in their eyes.

"Ye Bai, what names are you going to give them?"

Zhang Lingxue asked curiously.

"Blood poison moths are pets of moths."

"Covered in a blood-red mist, it is a pet beast born specifically for battle."

"They have two huge skulls on their wings, and they should be highly poisonous."

"This is the basis for my naming."

Only then did Zhang Lingxue notice that there were two huge skulls on the wings of this pet beast.

They flapped their wings, stirring up gusts of wind, and only then did the blood mist dissipate.

Two blood poison moths flapped their wings and flew into the air, where they danced gracefully.

Name: Blood Poison Moth

[Gender: Female]

Personality: Cheerful

[Level: Tier 3, Level 1]

Skills: Impact (Proficient), Silk Spit (Proficient), Blood Storm (Beginner): Summons a highly corrosive blood mist to corrode opponents.

Insect Claw (Beginner): Attack enemies with sharp, blade-like arms.

Combo Slash (Beginner): Attack the enemy simultaneously with four sharp blade arms.

Gale (Beginner): Unleashes a terrifying gust of wind to attack enemies; however, it has little effect on extremely heavy opponents.

[Evolutionary Path: **********]

Ye Bai squinted. He couldn't see the evolution path yet, which meant that the Blood Poison Moth could evolve into a fourth- or even fifth-tier pet beast.

Why can I see the evolution path of the Sunflower King, but not the evolution path of the Blood Poison Moth?
Ye Bai kept the question to himself, intending to find another opportunity to ask Zhang Lingxue how much she knew about the Eye of Insight.

Zhang Lingxue put the two blood poison moths into the beast card, and then placed the beast card on the testing instrument to test the various indicators of the two blood poison moths.

The test report was printed out quickly.

These two blood poison moths are quite well-developed and have even reached the third tier.

Ye Bai's experiment was undoubtedly a success.

"Congratulations, Ye Bai, Intermediate Researcher."

"With this evolutionary path, you are fully capable of obtaining the title of intermediate researcher."

"Judging from your posture, the reproducibility experiment shouldn't be a problem either."

"Adjust the formula you have and create a complete experimental protocol."

Zhang Lingxue paused, feeling a bit thirsty. She poured herself a cup of coffee, settled comfortably on the sofa in the lab, and continued, "Of course, if you want to keep a low profile, I can use my connections to submit this evolutionary route to the Imperial Capital Research Institute."

"Once this evolutionary path is confirmed to be feasible, the Imperial Capital Research Institute will grant you the title of Intermediate Researcher."

"At the same time, your name will not be published, which can be considered a form of protection for you."

Ye Bai raised an eyebrow; he really didn't want to reveal his name.

Before he had fully developed his power and possessed sufficient strength to protect himself, he still wanted to keep a low profile.

"Then I'll trouble you, teacher."

"However, I also encountered some minor problems with the reproducibility experiment."

"I don't have any more fourth-tier beast meat left."

Zhang Lingxue understood what Ye Bai meant: he was out of money and couldn't afford to buy the exotic beast meat.

She then took the key hanging from her waist and tossed it to Ye Bai.

"This is the key to the research institute's cryogenic chamber. Inside are the carcasses of several exotic beasts that I hunted, but I forgot their exact tier."

"However, they should generally be at least level three."

"You can use these for experiments."

"If it's not enough, just tell me and I'll figure something out."

Ye Bai gave a thumbs up: "Teacher, that's impressive!"

As the two were talking, the giant cocoon beside them, which looked like a pigeon's blood ruby, also stirred.

A blood-red butterfly emerged from the giant cocoon. It took a deep breath, and the blood essence from the cocoon surged into the butterfly's body.

After losing the support of blood and energy, the giant cocoon turned into a pile of black ash.

This butterfly, about the size of a person, fluttered merrily in the air.

It was very beautiful, with blood-red wings covered in thorn-like patterns.

Its eyes were like the finest rubies, and its eyebrows were thin and long, like two whips.

The butterfly flew through the thick glass window and came to Zhang Lingxue's side.

Zhang Lingxue sensed a familiar presence from the butterfly; she noticed the number tag hanging around its neck.

"Little guy, it's you."

"I never imagined you'd become so beautiful."

"Welcome to your new life."

Zhang Lingxue patted the Blood Gu Butterfly's head, and the Blood Gu Butterfly smiled and happily flew into the air.

A red light suddenly appeared on the butterfly's forehead.

The butterfly pet in front of her actually wanted to sign a contract with Zhang Lingxue.

However, as far as Ye Bai knew, his teacher was a fifth-tier pet master and had contracted with the Gray Poison Moth, the Goddess of Light Butterfly, the Dark Butterfly, the Starry Butterfly, and the Vine Cat.

Her contract slots are already full.

It seems this precious Blood Gu Butterfly will have to leave disappointed.
