I can understand what the furry creatures are saying, and I've become the number one beast tame

Chapter 296 A Complete Transformation
The Frostbeast took a few steps back, avoiding Nan Ran's gaze, but still stubbornly insisted, "[I'm not nervous...]"
Before Nanran could ask again, it quickly changed the subject: [Why did you suddenly think of asking about the effects of fragrant bamboo rice?]
[For humans, it is simply a type of food, a kind of spiritual rice, which needs to be cooked through methods such as steaming and boiling before it can be eaten.]
However, precisely because it needs to be heated, the essence of herbs and plants contained in the fragrant bamboo rice will evaporate. Even if there is any left, it will be very little. You might not be able to collect a single drop of herbal essence even if you eat a whole pot of rice. Therefore, when humans consume fragrant bamboo rice, it can only be used to help purify spiritual energy or supplement the spiritual energy intake required for daily life.
[Also, it works even better if used to cook porridge.]
Some of the essence of the fragrant bamboo rice will remain in the porridge.
After the Frostbeast finished speaking, it was unclear whether it had successfully diverted Nanran's attention. However, the beast itself seemed much calmer and less flustered.

"What if a demon beast takes it?"

Remembering what Mimi had just said about 'herbal essences', Nanran couldn't help but ask, "Does that mean you can ingest herbal essences?"

That's right!
However, only herbivorous monsters can absorb the essence of plants; other monsters, unless they are wood-type, are of little use.
[Eating it raw is probably worse than cooking it. Drinking some porridge or soup with it can replenish some spiritual energy and maintain daily needs.]
Nan Ran seemed to be deep in thought.

"Besides fragrant bamboo rice, what about the edible spiritual fruit kernels? Can the essence of herbs be extracted from them as well?"

[sure!]
[For us herbivorous monsters, even ordinary spirit grass can be used to extract its essence for cultivation advancement. However, ordinary spirit grass contains very little essence; you might graze on two acres of land and still not get two drops of essence.]
I see……

Nan Ran seemed to have realized something.

[Why are you suddenly asking these questions?] Frostmon blinked curiously.

Nan Ran shrugged: "It's a long story... so I won't go into it."

"In short, I got tricked and became the acting manager of Hundred Beasts Peak, one of the three outer peaks. Right now, I'm busy raising cubs."

"That's why I asked you to inquire about it, since I don't know any other demonic beasts."

There's only one herbivorous monster, Mimi~
Nan Ran then pointed to the Golden-Winged Rat Xiao Meng, which was enveloped in golden light: "Look, I just fed her some fragrant bamboo rice and spirit fruit kernels, both raw and cooked."

"And then it just happened like this..."

The Frostbeast then noticed the fluffy mass enveloped in golden light. [It's about to undergo a complete transformation, advancing to a mid-level demon beast... no, it might directly advance to a high-level demon beast!]
The Frostbeast was genuinely surprised.

Nan Ran was also surprised.

"what?"

"Advanced to... a high-level demonic beast?" Like a big cat?

The Frostbeast, with its azure deer-like eyes, nodded solemnly: "That's right, advancement, from an ordinary low-level demon beast to a high-level demon beast. If the opportunity is right, it might even be able to advance to a top-level demon beast!"

This was the first time it had ever seen a creature capable of undergoing a complete transformation, evolving from a low-level monster to a high-level monster.

Most demonic beasts are born in what they are, and they remain that way for the rest of their lives, finding it difficult to break through the limits of their species' talents.

After all, innate talent often determines both the starting point and the ending point.

But this golden-winged rat can actually undergo a complete transformation!

If one is lucky enough to be born with a better innate constitution, their path to immortality will likely go much further.

"So magical?"

Nan Ran blinked, and when she looked at the golden light enveloping Xiao Meng again, she immediately felt that something was different.
