Venerable White turned around to open a wooden box.
The wooden box was about 50 centimeters in size, and a s.h.i.+ning rune was floating above it. It was the rune of the magical technique used to hatch spirit beast eggs.
Song Shuhang rubbed his forehead. Sure enough, that smack Senior White had given him just now had caused him some trouble.
“Senior White, what kind of spirit beast are you incubating there?” Song Shuhang asked.
“I actually have no idea, either. I picked this spirit beast egg up a long time ago while adventuring outside. Now… I don’t even remember where I picked it up,” Venerable White said. He had found so many things during the course of his life that he could no longer keep track of them.
Is the spirit beast egg that Senior White found and kept that of a divine beast? Could it be a Dragon? Phoenix? Qilin? Black Tortoise? Or is it some other divine beast?
Anyway, with Senior White’s talent in picking up treasures, Song Shuhang wouldn’t be surprised by whatever divine beasts came out of that spirit beast egg. Senior White finding a divine pet wasn’t big news… Senior White NOT finding a divine pet would be big news.
“The spirit beast is already breaking out of the sh.e.l.l; let’s see what it is.” Venerable White opened the box. The runes above dissipated, revealing a brown thing lying within.
It was a hairy ball-shaped thing, with seemingly no relations.h.i.+p whatsoever to the egg of a spirit beast. As such, was that hairy ball the spirit beast that had come out of Senior White’s spirit beast egg?
“It’s about to break the sh.e.l.l,” Senior White said expectantly.
Heavens~ That hairy ball wasn’t a spirit beast, but a spirit beast egg?
Which beast’s egg was growing hair?!
Exactly what you would expect from the things found in the world of cultivators—unscientific, but very cultivation-like.
On the other hand, the luck of that hairy spirit beast egg had finally changed for the better today.
Venerable White suddenly remembered about its existence after seeing the Divine Beast Training System, and decided to take it out.
Otherwise, given the huge number of treasures Senior White had, who knew how long this hairy spirit beast egg would have stayed forgotten before he thought about it again!
“Crack, crack, crack~”
The hairy ball-shaped spirit beast egg started to crack, and a tiny paw came out of it. The paw was also brown, and it had five fingers.
The paws of newly born spirit beasts were somewhat illusory, and didn’t have a fixed shape.
After all, the bodies of spirit beasts were made of spiritual energy for the most part. This was the reason ordinary people couldn’t see them. Only if the spirit beast allowed it would ordinary people see it with the naked eye.
As for cultivators, they would have to open their Eye Aperture to see spirit beasts in their normal state.
Anyway, this was Song Shuhang’s first time seeing a newly born spirit beast.
As soon as the paw came out, the newborn spirit beast stopped moving… breaking the sh.e.l.l of the egg had drained all its energy. Now, it would have to recover its strength first and only then break the rest of the sh.e.l.l.
Venerable White held his chin, and said, “It wasn’t able to come out? Should we help it by breaking the sh.e.l.l of the egg?”
“I think it’s better if we wait and let it break the sh.e.l.l on its own,” Song Shuhang said. He had raised a silkworm before, and it was mandatory to let the silk moth break out of the coc.o.o.n on its own. If one helped the silk moth by cutting the coc.o.o.n open, the silk moth would die some time later.
“Alright, I’ll let it come out on its own then… Hmm, right. I should check its information first.” Senior White put on the ‘Divine Beast Training System’ spectacles.
After the completion of the ‘novice mission’, the system would unlock the ability to appraise First Stage spirit beasts. However, the first spirit beast was a special case, and one could appraise it regardless of its rank.
Venerable White looked at the hairy beast egg through the spectacles. After a short while, somewhat depressed, he said, “Ah! It seems I don’t have the privilege to access the next part.”
“?” Song Shuhang was confused.
“I’ve made a mistake. Earlier, after linking my mental energy to yours, I created a child account named [White] in the Divine Beast Training System right next to your [Tyrannical Laser Song One] main account. This child account is likewise able to make use of the Divine Beast Training System and complete the tasks… However, I didn’t expect that its privileges would be limited by the privileges of the main account. It seems that the child account can only use the features that the main account has already unlocked. As such, if I want to use the feature to appraise spirit beasts, I have to wait for the main account, [Tyrannical Laser Song One], to unlock it first by completing the novice mission—only then would the child account [White] gain the privilege to use it. Fellow Daoist Ruhuo really put in a lot of thought while creating this system. I was too careless!” Venerable White took off the spectacles, returning them to Song Shuhang.
“In that case, it seems I’ll have to complete the novice mission as well, right?” Song Shuhang asked.
“Yes, I’ll have to wait for you to hatch a spirit beast egg and unlock the feature. Shuhang, why don’t you give it a try?” Venerable White said. Then, he squatted beside the small box, and glanced at the spirit beast inside the hairy egg as it was struggling to break out. “I can’t recognize the type of spirit beast from the paw.”
“Alright. Such being the case, I’ll also try hatching a spirit beast egg.” Song Shuhang took out the egg of an invisible sword insect from his Inner World, as well as the ‘Spirit Beast Seal’. As soon as the invisible sword insect was born, he would use the beast taming technique of the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Sect to tame it.
After getting ready, Song Shuhang put on the ‘Divine Beast Training System’ spectacles.
Then, a system notification appeared on the interface before Song Shuhang’s eyes.
[Novice Mission: Look for a spirit beast egg and hatch it.] (Complete)
[Unlocked the feature to appraise First Stage spirit beasts, as well as an ordinary food recipe for First Stage spirit beasts.]
[The recipe was already sent to your personal storage s.p.a.ce. Please check it.]
“…” Song Shuhang.
Senior White hatching that hairy spirit beast egg had turned into his novice mission?
