Inside the Pixie Pet Store.

After the old man left, Su Ping could not wait to head to the Chaos Spirit Pool for Incubation behind the pet store, since he had just made some energy points.

“I wonder what kind of Astral Pet can be bred.”

Su Ping was filled with antic.i.p.ation and nervousness. The rarer the Astral Pet coming into being was, the higher the rent would be when he leased it. This could be a source of substantial income!

The system reminded him, “[Chaos Spirit Pool for Incubation] is currently at the first level. During every breeding process, one part per one hundred million of ‘chaos aura’ can be imported. Activate?”

“Chaos aura? What is that?” Su Ping found it unfamiliar.

“Chaos aura is the most fundamental energy in the universe, the origin of everything.” The system’s explanation sounded a bit fantasy-like.

Su Ping didn’t understand it fully. He frowned. “But, isn’t it too stingy to import only one part per a hundred million of this source energy?”

“The host can upgrade the spirit pool,” the system suggested calmly.

The requirement for upgrading the spirit pool sprang to Su Ping’s mind at once, along with the effects of spirit pools at different levels.

Currently, the Chaos Spirit Pool was at the first level. A hundred energy points would be needed to upgrade it to the second level and the chaos aura that could be imported would be increased to one part per ten million. In the best of chances, the pool would give birth to Astral Pets with higher rank bloodlines!

To upgrade the Chaos Spirit Pool to the third level would demand ten thousand energy points, which would increase the percentage of chaos aura imported to one part per million. There would be a small chance that an Astral Pet with a beast king’s bloodline could be bred!

A hundred million energy points would be needed to upgrade to the fourth level, and the imported chaos aura would reach one part per one hundred thousand. There would be a bigger chance of breeding an Astral Pet with a beast king’s bloodline and a very low possibility that the Astral Pet could be even more powerful!

Following the fourth level, there was the fifth, sixth, etc. and the highest was the ninth level!

In a ninth level Chaos Spirit Pool, a large amount of chaos aura could be imported. The ancestors of the mythical beasts, the Archaean Deities, could come into being!

Su Ping was completely astonished once he reached the latter part of the introduction. Beast ancestors? Archaean Deities?

Judging by the names alone, Su Ping could tell that such beings were horrifying. Those creatures had to be more terrifying than those legendary Astral Pets in that ill.u.s.trated book of feral Astral Pets. Any one of such beings could endanger the whole world!

Could such beings also be regarded as Astral Pets?

Su Ping felt light-headed the moment he saw the energy points required for an upgrade to the ninth level. He knew that this was way out of his league at the moment. To upgrade to the third level was already in the distant future.

Besides, the effects of a third level Chaos Spirit Pool were already shocking.

With merely one part per million of chaos aura, there was a chance of breeding an Astral Pet with a beast king bloodline!

What was a beast king bloodline?

That was to say that such an Astral Pet would already have the strength of a beast king!

No matter how poor the Astral Pet’s apt.i.tude was, or how poor its level of understanding was, as soon as the Astral Pet reached adulthood, it would have the strength equivalent to a beast king. The only difference was the ranking among Beast Kings.

This did not refer to the Astral Pets that had a percentage of beast king bloodline fused in them. Such Astral Pets were, for the most part, of mixed blood and the beast king’s bloodline would only account for a small ratio. It was almost impossible for such Astral Pets to evolve into Beast Kings.

“Breeding Beast Kings…”

While he stared at this Chaotic Spirit Pool that looked like a dried-up well, his mouth felt parched and his tongue scorched. Beast Kings were creatures that could run wild across the entire land and they were extremely hard to tame. All Beast Kings were violent and cruel. If he could breed one, then he could have a skyrocketing rise!

Su Ping had finally calmed himself after a long time of excitement. At the moment, he could only use the first level of the Chaos Spirit Pool. Lucky for him, even at the first level, the Chaos Spirit Pool would have a tremendous effect. There was a small chance that an Astral Pet of the intermediate level could be brought to life!

One Astral Pet of the intermediate level would be sold at one hundred thousand coins or more at the federal establishments!

“Activate the spirit pool.” Su Ping looked at his 15.6 energy points. He made up his mind and invested the points.

-10 energy points.

The dry Chaos Spirit Pool began to absorb the energy. As such, a glow suddenly broke out. There was a trace of dark light that glimmered for an instant but then disappeared without a trace. Everything quieted down again.

Crack.

Something seemed to have fallen apart.

Su Ping looked over in surprise.

From the edge of the Chaos Spirit Pool crawled out a Little Skeleton that was off-white in color and about 20 cm in height. It was lower than a human’s knee. The skeleton used great efforts to crawl out from the spirit pool. Then, it fell on the ground and shattered into pieces.

“A skeleton of the demon family?”

Su Ping was stunned speechless.

Pets of the demon family were highly popular for battle pets. They were loved by battle pet warriors because of their fierce abilities. But this Little Skeleton… was a pet of the lowest level in the demon family!

Su Ping was wis.h.i.+ng that he could hit the jackpot and get a pet of the intermediate level on his first try. As it turned out, instead of the intermediate level, this skeleton was the lowest of the lowest level!

While he felt like weeping but had no tears, Su Ping wanted to take the chance. He cast an identification spell on the skeleton.
