Qiao Sang learned that Ghost Fire Paste could be traded for an SS-rank Yin Tide Pearl and that it might appear during Cortia Volcano’s eruption. Although she declined the hotel’s offer to take her there, she decided to teleport to the volcano herself as it prepared to erupt.

• Qiao Sang exchanged contact information with the Yin Tide Pearl’s owner, who said he would trade with whoever obtained Ghost Fire Paste first and told her Cortia Volcano would erupt in three days.
• Qiao Sang researched Ghost Fire Paste, posted requests for it at the Underground Trading Market and on the Pet Tamer Center website, and found no takers or stock.
• Three days later, the Sota Hotel receptionist offered to arrange transport to Cortia Volcano before its predicted eruption, but Qiao Sang declined.
• Qiao Sang recalled that she wanted to visit Cortia Volcano and still hoped to obtain Ghost Fire Paste, so she asked Little Treasure to teleport her, Ya Bao, and the others there.

Qiao Sang visited Cortia Volcano to prepare for Ya Bao's future evolution and learned that government officials were guarding the crater in case Ghost Fire Paste appeared. A man with a Ghost-Type pet beast proposed working with her to get the paste, but she recognized another man he pointed out as the Beast Tamer who had traded her an SS-rank Yin Tide Pearl.

• A middle-aged Black man recruited Qiao Sang to help hold off official personnel while he sought Ghost Fire Paste, and she agreed to meet him at Black Tuo Spring if he had not returned by seven the next morning.

• Qiao Sang summoned Gang Bao to watch the eruption, and Gang Bao trained Iron Wall while they waited.
• Cortia Volcano erupted, and Ya Bao became transfixed by the crimson lava as Qiao Sang prepared to check whether its energy had changed.
• Ya Bao leaped from Qiao Sang’s arms and flew toward the volcano, prompting tourists to search for its Beastmaster and an official to warn it through a megaphone.

Qiao Sang discovered that Yaobao had two possible evolution forms and suspected Cortia Volcano was drawing it toward an evolution opportunity. As officials and Ghost Type attackers clashed in the sky, she chose to help Yaobao reach the crater, and it teleported above it.

• McCarthy and Ferrell decided to move their Lava Beast closer to the crater while waiting for the Ghost Type Pet Beast Masters to act.
• Qiao Sang raised Yaobao’s level data and saw the possible evolution forms Moon Calamity Hound and Yan Qilu in the Pet Beast Codex.
• Little Treasure alerted Qiao Sang that Yaobao was running toward Cortia Volcano as officials on Sharp Beak Firebirds pursued it.

• Qiao Sang shouted for Yaobao to teleport directly, and Yaobao appeared above the crater.

Qiao Sang’s Ya Bao plunged into Cortia Volcano and evolved during a Secondary Eruption, emerging with enormous flaming wings while rescuing the Lava Beast. The crowd watched in shock as Qiao Sang recognized her transformed Pet Beast.

• Tourists noticed Ya Bao above the crater, and officials questioned Qiao Sang before a purple Ghost Type Pet Beast attacked and saved an official from falling.
• An official warned Qiao Sang that Cortia Volcano might erupt a second time, while McCarthy and Ferrell sent their unregistered Lava Beast into the crater to search for Ghost Fire Paste.
• Ya Bao felt drawn into the volcano and plunged in as Qiao Sang entered the Pet Beast Codex and added the remaining points to its level.
• The volcano erupted, blasting the Lava Beast upward, and Ya Bao evolved into a six-meter-tall winged Pet Beast before catching the unconscious Lava Beast.
• The stunned crowd saw the transformed Pet Beast burst from the lava, and Qiao Sang recognized it as Ya Bao.

Ya Bao reunited with Qiao Sang after evolving inside the volcano, shocking the tourists who realized he was her Pet Beast. Qiao Sang suspected the unconscious Lava Beast belonged to the man who had asked her to cooperate, then noticed its bracelets were missing before it coughed up Blue Liquid.

• Ya Bao landed beside Qiao Sang and affectionately rubbed her cheek, while Luobao got irritated after he poked her and retreated into the backpack.
• Little Treasure took pictures of Ya Bao as he set the unconscious Lava Beast on the ground.
• The tourists realized Ya Bao was the Pet Beast that had entered the volcano and evolved, and they were astonished by Qiao Sang's apparent strength and unfamiliar Pet Beasts.
• McCarthy planned to summon the Lava Beast back, but Ferrell warned that doing so could expose their ownership, so they agreed to wait until the tourists left.
• Qiao Sang suspected the Lava Beast belonged to the man who had proposed cooperating with her, then noticed its Identity Bracelet and Miniature Shrinking Bracelet were gone.
• The Lava Beast began coughing and spilled Blue Liquid from its mouth.

Qiao Sang recognized the Lava Beast’s vomit as Ghost Fire Paste and realized that rival Beast Tamers and official personnel would soon fight over it. She used the confusion to escape with Little Treasure and the Lava Beast, leaving both sides to scramble for the remaining paste.

• Qiao Sang suspected the Lava Beast was carrying Ghost Fire Paste and judged that collecting it openly would make her a target.

• Ferrell demanded that McCarthy recall the Lava Beast, but McCarthy could not sense its location and said he had arranged to meet Qiao Sang at Black Camel Spring.
• Ferrell abandoned the pursuit of the Lava Beast for the moment and ordered his group to seize the Ghost Fire Paste.

Qiao Sang escaped with the Lava Beast and collected some of the Ghost Fire Paste it vomited. She persuaded Little Treasure to swallow and absorb the rest, then prepared Luobao to heal it if necessary and checked the Pet Beast Codex.

• The officials abandoned pursuit of the Lava Beast and joined the battle against their enemies, while the tourists fled the area.
• Little Treasure used Space Movement to take Qiao Sang and the vomiting Lava Beast to a deserted place.
• Qiao Sang had Little Treasure collect the Ghost Fire Paste in a heat-resistant container, then encouraged it to absorb the paste left on the ground.
• Little Treasure swallowed the Ghost Fire Paste as Qiao Sang warned Luobao to use Healing Light if it showed signs of trouble.
• Qiao Sang opened her Pet Beast Codex while Little Treasure began absorbing the Ghost Fire Paste.

After Ya Bao evolved, Qiao Sang checked its new skills and watched Little Treasure Hunting Ghost absorb Ghost Fire Paste, rapidly raising Ghost Fire to Profound Meaning. Later, she discovered that Lava Purgatory was a Super-Level skill, leaving her stunned by Ya Bao’s new ability.

• Qiao Sang saw that Ya Bao had learned Exploding Flame Bullet, Scorching Wind, and Lava Purgatory, and that many of its other skills had reached Profound Meaning.
• Little Treasure Hunting Ghost absorbed Ghost Fire Paste while Luobao repeatedly healed it, raising Ghost Fire to Profound Meaning before it refused to absorb any more.
• The Lava Beast fled when Qiao Sang considered what to do with it.
• Qiao Sang summoned Ya Bao, found it too large to fit in the hotel room, and recalled it to the Pet Beast Codex for the night.
• At the hotel, Qiao Sang applied for a Miniature Shrinking Bracelet and searched for information about Ya Bao’s new skills.
• Qiao Sang learned that Lava Purgatory was a Super-Level Fire-Type skill and stared at the search result in shock.

After learning that Ya Bao had awakened the Super-Level Skill Lava Purgatory, Qiao Sang tested its new Exploding Flame Bullet and saw its immense power. She went to the Pet Tamer Center to update Ya Bao’s information after the Miniature Shrinking Bracelet application was rejected.

• Qiao Sang confirmed that Ya Bao had awakened Lava Purgatory, a Fire Type Super-Level Skill, and used Luobao’s Healing Sound Wave to calm herself.
• Qiao Sang bought Fire Type Pet Beast food and Energy Meals, then summoned Ya Bao at a quiet open-air training ground.
• Ya Bao ate a large quantity of Energy Meals, and Qiao Sang learned that its Miniature Shrinking Bracelet application had been rejected because its registered information was outdated.

• Qiao Sang recalled Ya Bao and went to the Pet Tamer Center to update its information, where she handed her Information Card to the clerk at window 73.

Qiao Sang updated Ya Bao’s records on Superstar Planet, officially registering its new form as Yan Qilu, then went to take the C-rank Pet Tamer assessment. After reading reports about Ya Bao’s appearance at Cortia Volcano, she received a message asking whether she had been there.

• A staff member discovered that Qiao Sang’s Blazing Star Hound had no recorded evolutionary form and called the supervisor to confirm her naming rights.
• The supervisor verified that Qiao Sang was the first Pet Tamer to breed the new form, and the pet beast’s name was approved as Yan Qilu; Qiao Sang also obtained its Identity Bracelet.
• Qiao Sang registered for the C-rank Pet Tamer assessment and searched for news about the mysterious pet beast seen at Cortia Volcano, finding no mention of the Lava Beast or Ghost Fire Paste.
• Qiao Sang arrived at the outdoor assessment venue, where Little Treasure identified the battling pet beasts and a red-haired woman asked whether she was watching a family member take the test.
• Qiao Sang received a message from “SS-rank Yin Tide Pearl” asking whether she had gone to Cortia Volcano, and replied that she had.

Qiao Sang arranged to trade Ghost Fire Paste for the SS-rank Yin Tide Pearl and prepared for her move to the First District before taking her C-rank Pet Tamer assessment. Ya Bao overwhelmed the examiner’s Snow Hermit Orb with Lava Purgatory, leaving the assessment’s outcome unclear.

• Qiao Sang told Ferrell she had obtained the Ghost Fire Paste and arranged to meet him at the Pet Tamer Center, while McCarthy suspected she had taken his Lava Beast and wanted to go along.
• Qiao Sang bought a ticket to the First District and planned to find a house, train Little Treasure, and build Gang Bao’s combat experience before its evolution.
• Qiao Sang entered the C-rank assessment and summoned Ya Bao to face the examiner’s Snow Hermit Orb.
• Ya Bao dodged Snow Hermit Orb’s ice arrows, countered with Scorching Wind, and slammed the opposing Pet Beast into the ground.
• When Snow Hermit Orb tried to form Ice Spike, Ya Bao’s Oppressive Aura disrupted it, and Ya Bao unleashed Lava Purgatory across the field.

Qiao Sang’s Ya Bao used the Super-Level Skill Lava Purgatory, overwhelming the examination arena and drawing attention from everyone present. The examiners let Qiao Sang pass after one match, and she prepared to meet “SS-rank Yin Tide Pearl” at the Underground Trading Market.

• Ya Bao’s Lava Purgatory ended the first round and left the arena unusable, while spectators marveled at his Super-Level Skill.
• The examination moved to B4 Arena, where Qiao Sang learned she had passed after just one match because Ya Bao’s strength already met the C-rank standard.
• Qiao Sang signed to confirm her passing result and changed her Pet Tamer Badge.

Qiao Sang traded half a jin of Ghost Fire Paste for a genuine SS-rank Yin Tide Pearl through an indirect exchange with Ferrell, then traveled to the First District to look for a rental. She arrived at a real estate agency and began discussing her requirements with an agent.

• Ferrell and McCarthy speculated that Qiao Sang might be disguising her true appearance and arranged to avoid meeting her directly during the trade.
• Qiao Sang exchanged Ghost Fire Paste at the Pet Tamer Center’s service desk for Ferrell’s box, while Little Treasure sensed the hidden Ghost Type presence nearby.

• Qiao Sang told a Black woman in business attire that she wanted to rent a place, and the agent asked what she required.

Qiao Sang searched for a rental home near Yulundun University with a private Open-air Training Ground and finally viewed a lakeside villa that met her requirements. She agreed to consider renting it for half a year after meeting its owner, Milner.

• Qiao Sang rejected townhouses that were too close to neighbors and temporarily booked a five-star hotel with an Open-air Training Ground.
• Qiao Sang received a million from Ye Xiangting, felt moved by her mother's support, and began meditating after their call.
• A real estate agent called Qiao Sang the next morning with a house that matched her requirements, while Luobao and Little Treasure continued training instead of sleeping.
• Qiao Sang flew with Gang Bao to a lakeside villa, where the agent introduced her to Milner, who said she had authority to rent the property.
• Qiao Sang told Milner she wanted to rent the villa for half a year, and Milner began showing her around.

Qiao Sang rented a villa with a spacious training ground and began training Ya Bao before visiting a private club to hire a coach to improve her defense. As she waited for the second most expensive coach, Gang Bao suggested that living in the villa’s thorn-filled room could strengthen both their defenses.

• Qiao Sang rented Milner’s villa for six months, paid the fees, and registered her face and fingerprints for the keypad lock.
• Ya Bao excitedly trained in the open-air grounds but exhausted his energy after using his skill twice, so Qiao Sang decided to buy more Energy Recovery Fluid.
• Qiao Sang checked out of the Vivioli Hotel and bought fire-type Energy Meals and all the available A-grade Energy Recovery Fluid in the nearby shopping district.

• Gang Bao told Qiao Sang that staying in the thorn-filled room could improve both his defense and hers, leaving her uneasy over her coffee.

Qiao Sang visited a private training club to train her defense against the pain she felt through Bond Evolution. A test revealed that her immunity had reached an inhuman level, surprising Coach Alma.

• Qiao Sang refused to train by enduring pain in the Thorn Room and agreed with Gang Bao to seek professional methods instead.
• Qiao Sang met Coach Alma and asked to train her defense.
• Alma explained how Pet Beast evolution could improve a Beastmaster’s physical traits and asked Qiao Sang to test her immune defense before training.
• The test showed that Qiao Sang’s immunity far exceeded human limits while her body remained healthy.
