Chapter Summaries

On the final day of Grade 1, Lin Yuan impressed his class by explaining the Shadow Witch Cat’s traits, rare evolution route, and unusual preferences. After class, Chen Xuanbai told Lin Yuan he could enter the Kindling Class with a Grade B talent and gave him a Spirit-Nourishing Fruit ahead of the Awakening Ceremony.

• Chen Xuanbai showed the class his Shadow Witch Cat and asked students about its traits and evolution.
• Huang Zixuan described the cat’s traits and identified the Little Black Cat as its original form, but could not name its other evolutionary route.
• Lin Yuan explained that a sun-loving Little Black Cat had evolved into the Light-attribute Sunshadow Spirit Cat, a Mid-Grade Commander beast.
• Lin Yuan suggested that Chen Xuanbai’s Shadow Witch Cat enjoyed crowds and had unusually strong reproductive urges, prompting Chen Xuanbai to recall it.
• Chen Xuanbai told Lin Yuan he could enter the Kindling Class if he awakened a Grade B talent and gave him a Spirit-Nourishing Fruit.
• After Lin Yuan left, Chen Xuanbai decided to visit the pet market and test Lin Yuan’s claims about his cat.

Lin Yuan prepared for the awakening ceremony while comforting the Purple Ghost Orchid Zilan, who missed his late mother. At the ceremony, Lin Yuan awakened the A-rank talent [Living Creature Affinity], but he saw a second vision that no one else noticed.

• Lin Yuan checked on Spirit-Tailed Raccoon Linghuan and spoke with Qin Bailing, who told him Zilan was unusually sad.
• Lin Yuan comforted Zilan by humming his mother's song, and she lifted his spirits and made him drink a drop of dew.
• Lin Yuan ate the Spirit-Nourishing Fruit and slept soundly before the awakening ceremony.
• Huang Zixuan awakened the S-rank talent [A Hundred Grasses Flourish], ranked sixty-eighth overall.
• Lin Yuan awakened the A-rank talent [Living Creature Affinity], ranked one hundred and twelfth overall, disappointing the crowd's expectations.
• After the crowd saw his talent vision, Lin Yuan saw a second vision of the boundless expanse of life.

Lin Yuan awakened an A-rank talent and entered the Kindling Class, while keeping his unprecedented S+ talent secret. At home, his Eye of All Spirits revealed a hidden Evolution Path for Zilan, solving the mystery of his previously grayed-out Evolution Path entry.

• Lin Yuan's awakening revealed his Living Creature Affinity and Eye of All Spirits, though the test recorded only his A-rank talent.
• Chen Xuanbai welcomed Lin Yuan and thirty-nine others into the Kindling Class, then gave the seven top seeds Puchuan Inheritor nameplates and a choice of a product worth up to one hundred thousand Alliance Coins.
• Lin Yuan told Grandpa Qin that he had awakened an A-rank talent and entered the Kindling Class, then learned Linghuan was sorting stock in the basement.
• Lin Yuan heard Zilan singing and viewed her panel, which showed a hidden Purple Spirit Treasure Orchid Evolution Path with 99% compatibility.
• Lin Yuan opened the details of Zilan's three Evolution Paths.

Lin Yuan discovered that Zilan’s hidden evolution into a Purple Spirit Treasure Orchid matched her nearly perfectly, and he promised to help her evolve within the week. He planned to search the Pet Beast Alliance’s online store for the rare Spirit Treasure Liquid required.

• Lin Yuan examined Zilan’s evolution paths and learned that the Purple Grudge Orchid and Purple Dew Orchid had lower compatibility than her hidden path.
• Lin Yuan found the Purple Spirit Treasure Orchid, a transcendent high-grade evolution with 99% compatibility that required a Sweet Rain Pearl and Spirit Treasure Liquid.
• Zilan worried that Lin Yuan had awakened a poor talent and comforted him by feeding him drops of floral dew.
• Lin Yuan told Zilan his talent could help her evolve and promised to do everything he could to help her within the week.
• Lin Yuan calculated that he could afford the Sweet Rain Pearl and supplementary materials, then planned to search the Pet Beast Alliance’s online store for Spirit Treasure Liquid.

Lin Yuan used the Puchuan Inheritor marketplace discount to buy the materials needed for Zilan’s evolution, choosing her growth over a stronger first contracted beast. The chapter ends with Chen Xuanbai recommending three starter pet beasts for Lin Yuan to inspect at the Pet Beast Alliance’s Breeding Center the next day.

• Lin Yuan compared the Kindling Seed and Puchuan Inheritor marketplaces and found that only the latter offered transcendent-quality Spirit Treasure Liquid at a discounted price.
• Lin Yuan decided to spend most of his savings on Zilan’s evolution materials, accepting that he might have to settle for a weaker starter pet beast or miss the seven-day deadline.
• Lin Yuan bought one transcendent-quality Spirit Treasure Liquid, one transcendent-quality Sweet Rain Pearl, and additional evolution materials, paying 71,863 Alliance Coins beyond his grant.
• Chen Xuanbai credited Lin Yuan for helping stabilize Xiao Ying, whose level rose from Transcendent Level 7 to Transcendent Level 10.
• Chen Xuanbai sent Lin Yuan links to three recommended starter pet beasts and arranged for him to visit the city’s Pet Beast Alliance Breeding Center the next day.

Lin Yuan compared three Spirit-aligned pet beasts for his first contract and decided to visit the Breeding Center before choosing. After receiving his delivery, he wondered whether the Courier Bird might have an undiscovered Evolution Path, then turned his attention to preparing Zilan's evolution.

• Lin Yuan studied the Illusion Spirit Butterfly, Mist Spirit Spider, and Still Spirit Cat, weighing their strengths, costs, and Evolution Paths.
• Chen Xuanbai recommended the Still Spirit Cat and offered to cover any shortfall, but Lin Yuan declined to borrow money and planned to choose a beast at the Breeding Center.
• Lin Yuan greeted a tired Courier Bird, praised her, gave her water, and received his package from her Treasure Pouch.
• Lin Yuan saw that the Courier Bird had no Evolution Path listed and considered whether his talent or the bird's low level kept its path hidden.
• Lin Yuan decided to focus on using the evolution materials on Zilan.

Lin Yuan prepared rare materials to help Zilan evolve and reassured her after two failed attempts had left her afraid to try again. With her trust restored, Zilan absorbed the key materials, and the Purple Star Vines began growing rapidly as her evolution started.

• Lin Yuan carefully arranged the evolution materials while Zilan worried that she might waste them, as she had failed to evolve twice before.
• Lin Yuan comforted Zilan and explained that the previous Beast Breeders had pushed her toward an evolution that did not suit her nature.
• Zilan regained her confidence and trust in Lin Yuan, raising their hidden path compatibility from 99% to 100%.
• Lin Yuan prepared a nutrient solution for Zilan, and her buds grew fuller as her condition improved.
• Lin Yuan placed the Sweet Rain Pearl and Spirit Treasure Liquid into Zilan's flower buds, which closed around them as the Purple Star Vines began growing rapidly.

Lin Yuan helped Zilan begin evolving into a Purple Spirit Treasure Orchid and discovered that Linghuan’s suppressed emotions and growth problems came from an incomplete past evolution. He found the treatment but could not yet afford all the materials, and planned to visit the Breeding Center the next day.

• Zilan’s energy caused the Purple Star Vines to flourish as she began evolving, and her panel showed 1% progress toward becoming a Purple Spirit Treasure Orchid.
• Lin Yuan harvested the mature Purple Star Vines and told Linghuan that his newly awakened talent had helped Zilan and would make the vines grow faster.
• Lin Yuan’s panel revealed that Linghuan’s incomplete spirit tail suppressed her emotional expression, caused pain, and hindered her growth, and showed how to cure her.
• Lin Yuan looked up the treatment materials and found that the spirit red bright liquid was too expensive for him to afford.
• Lin Yuan went to bed, intending to visit the Breeding Center the next day to see the three pet beasts Teacher Chen had recommended.

Lin Yuan visited the Pet Beast Breeding Center to choose a Spirit-attribute pet beast and impressed Liu Xing with his ability to assess Illusion Dream Butterflies. The highest-quality butterfly flew to Lin Yuan after he accepted Liu Xing’s protective glasses.

• Lin Yuan left the shop after telling Qin Bailing he was going to the Breeding Center for his appointment.
• At the Spirit Breeding Hall, Lin Yuan noticed a strangely aggressive Still Spirit Cat whose quality was unusually low.
• Liu Xing guided Lin Yuan to the Illusion Dream Butterflies and tested him on their quality and temperament.
• Lin Yuan correctly identified the highest-quality butterfly and the one most suited to a contract, impressing Liu Xing.
• Liu Xing gave Lin Yuan protective glasses, and the highest-quality purple Illusion Dream Butterfly flew over to him.

Lin Yuan and Liu Xing examined the Mist Spirit Spider breeding base, where Lin Yuan discovered a neglected spider with a hidden evolution path. Liu Xing offered to help him raise it, but Lin Yuan chose to inspect the Still Spirit Cats before deciding.

• Lin Yuan declined to choose the Illusion Dream Butterfly that was attracted to his glasses and continued looking at other beasts.
• At the Mist Spirit Spider base, Lin Yuan spotted a small yellowish spider whose traits and metal attribute set it apart from the others.
• Lin Yuan identified the spider’s hidden evolution path into a Metal Spirit Enduring Spider, with 92% compatibility.
• Liu Xing explained that he had planned to take the spider himself and offered to help Lin Yuan care for it and develop its potential.
• Lin Yuan thanked Liu Xing but asked to see the Still Spirit Cats before making his choice.

At the Still Spirit Cat base, Lin Yuan examined several cats and heard Liu Xing recommend three promising beast pets. He found the supposedly useless cat he had noticed earlier and discovered its hidden potential, but the chapter ended before Liu Xing explained its background.

• Lin Yuan studied five Still Spirit Cats and concluded that the largest, highest-quality cat had the strongest territorial presence.
• Liu Xing recommended the Mist Spirit Spider, a Transcendent High-Grade Still Spirit Cat, and an Illusion Dream Butterfly as Lin Yuan’s top choices.
• Lin Yuan asked to see the agitated Still Spirit Cat he had encountered earlier, and Liu Xing explained that it had escaped six times despite being Ordinary High-Grade.
• Lin Yuan examined the cat and learned it had lion blood, could recover its quality through a Lionbright Fruit and training, and had 97% compatibility with the hidden Spiritblast Mad Lion evolution path.
• Lin Yuan asked Liu Xing to tell him about the cat’s background.

Liu Xing told Lin Yuan about the Still Spirit Cat’s troubled past, but Lin Yuan chose it as his first contracted beast despite Liu Xing’s reservations. Lin Yuan took the cat home after hinting he could help it become a lion, and he offered Liu Xing a suggestion about the Mist Spirit Spider.

• Liu Xing explained that the Still Spirit Cat had been sold and passed between buyers after its powerful mother’s other offspring proved far more exceptional.
• Liu Xing said he planned to buy the cat if it remained at the Breeding Center after his internship, but Lin Yuan firmly chose it as his first beast instead of the Mist Spirit Spider.
• Liu Xing accepted Lin Yuan’s decision, and Lin Yuan paid forty-five thousand Alliance Coins for the cat using his own money.
• As Liu Xing handed Lin Yuan the cat and the bill, Lin Yuan whispered that he could help it become a lion, making the cat briefly widen its eyes.
• Liu Xing gave Lin Yuan his business card and praised his potential, and Lin Yuan offered him a suggestion about the Mist Spirit Spider.

Lin Yuan urged Liu Xing to take home the special Mist Spirit Spider, then bought the Still Spirit Cat and brought it back to Yuanming Pet Food Shop. He discovered that Zilan’s evolution into a Purple Spirit Treasure Orchid had already reached 61% and might finish that night.

• Lin Yuan convinced Liu Xing to buy the metal-attribute Mist Spirit Spider immediately, and Liu Xing also bought the purple Illusion Dream Butterfly.
• Lin Yuan paid for the Still Spirit Cat and left the Breeding Center, reflecting on how his abilities seemed to let him glimpse and change pet beasts’ fates.
• Qin Bailing told Lin Yuan that Purple Star Vine sales had surged and that Zilan appeared to be evolving.
• Qin Bailing welcomed the Still Spirit Cat and treated it to extra cans of food.
• Lin Yuan checked Zilan’s evolution and saw that her progress toward becoming a Purple Spirit Treasure Orchid had reached 61%.

Lin Yuan watched Zilan complete her evolution into a Purple Spirit Treasure Orchid, whose new Spirit Dew could heal long-standing injuries and whose Treasure Mist could accelerate plant growth. The chapter ended with Lin Yuan discovering that her perfect compatibility granted him one freely chosen Gift of All Spirits.

• Lin Yuan named Still Spirit Cat Baishi and worked to help it feel safe in its new home.
• Zilan completed her evolution, revealing a three-tiered form and sharing her new Spirit Dew with Lin Yuan, Baishi, and Linghuan.
• Lin Yuan saw that Zilan's Spirit Dew could heal old injuries and suppress worsening wounds and illness.
• Zilan spread Treasure Mist to the Purple Star Vine, which responded with a joyful purple haze.
• Lin Yuan checked Zilan's status panel and learned she had gained the traits Spirit Dew and Treasure Mist.
• Lin Yuan discovered that Zilan's 100% evolution compatibility let him claim one freely chosen Gift of All Spirits.

After mastering the [Bonded Enlightenment Art] from the [Gift of All Spirits], Lin Yuan used it on Zilan. The art gave her the new [Pagoda] trait, and the chapter ended with Lin Yuan examining its appearance.

• Lin Yuan chose the ancient-book orb and absorbed the [Bonded Enlightenment Art] in about an hour.
• Lin Yuan learned that the art could grant a new trait to a pet beast with whom he shared a strong bond, though using it drained his strength and required a cooldown.
• Lin Yuan decided to enlighten Zilan first and wait until Linghuan had recovered before using the art on it.
• Lin Yuan guided the [Bonded Enlightenment Art] to his fingertip and tapped one of Zilan's petals.
• Zilan's Pagoda form took on the feeling of a home, and Lin Yuan saw that she had gained the new [Pagoda] trait.

Lin Yuan celebrated Zilan’s evolution and discovered that her new Pagoda bond trait reflected the family’s sense of home. He prepared to certify and sell her Spirit Dew, hoping the new product would help Yuanming Pet Food Shop grow and fund medicine for Linghuan and Baishi.

• Lin Yuan told Zilan that wherever she was, that was home, and her emotions made the phantom pagoda grow more solid.
• Zilan resolved to use her improved abilities to support Lin Yuan and protect their home, while Baishi felt encouraged to begin training.
• Lin Yuan applied to have Zilan’s transcendent high-grade Spirit Dew certified and planned to save two hundred thousand Alliance Coins for Linghuan and Baishi’s medicine.
• Lin Yuan collected a sample of Spirit Dew and estimated that Zilan could produce about twenty drops a day, with forty drops currently in stock.
• A Courier Bird collected the sample, paused strangely after seeing Lin Yuan, and flew away as Lin Yuan wondered how the Alliance would price the Spirit Dew.

After bonding with Baishi, Lin Yuan felt a new sense of peace and reassured Chen Xuanbai that he had chosen the pet beast he wanted. Meanwhile, researchers identified Spirit Dew’s ability to heal lingering ailments and priced it at thirty thousand Alliance Coins per ten drops.

• Lin Yuan thanked Chen Xuanbai for arranging his Breeding Center appointment and said he had chosen the pet beast he wanted most.
• Lin Yuan sensed that Baishi was growing more comfortable with him and would no longer run away.
• Chen Xuanbai read Lin Yuan’s message and looked forward to seeing which pet beast he had chosen at their project session in six days.
• Chen Ming tested Lin Yuan’s Spirit Dew and sought help from his mentor when he could not determine its full value.
• The old professor found that Spirit Dew could slowly eliminate lingering ailments and damage caused by conflicting traits, then priced it at thirty thousand Alliance Coins per ten drops.

Lin Yuan listed Zilan’s [Spirit Dew] for thirty thousand Alliance Coins per ten drops after it received a prestigious appraisal, and buyers quickly reserved all sixty drops in stock. The sales promised the money Lin Yuan needed for his pet beasts’ treatment and development.

• Professor Chen Ming appraised [Spirit Dew] at thirty thousand Alliance Coins for ten drops and prepared its certification report.
• Zilan’s [Treasure Mist] helped Lin Yuan and Linghuan rest, and Linghuan covered Lin Yuan with a blanket before returning to its room.
• Lin Yuan found the appraisal report and a six-thousand-Alliance-Coin transfer, then listed [Spirit Dew] with its effects and certification.
• Liu Xing asked Butler Zhou to find costly flower dew or spirit liquid for his [Illusion Dream Butterfly], and Butler Zhou bought ten drops of [Spirit Dew].
• Buyers across the Chenlong Kingdom ordered [Spirit Dew], reserving all sixty drops within twenty-eight minutes of its listing.

Lin Yuan shipped six orders of [Spirit Dew] after the product sold out, while customers began testing it on their pet beasts. Liu Xing saw Zizi warm to him after tasting the dew and ordered more, while Huang Tao investigated Yuanming Pet Food Shop.

• Lin Yuan prepared and sent six [Spirit Dew] orders through the Pet Beast Alliance's delivery network.
• Liu Xing returned to his cultivation base, where Jinjin showed off its improved control of metal energy and Zizi remained aloof.
• Zizi eagerly drank two drops of [Spirit Dew], accepted Liu Xing, and fell asleep in his palm.
• Liu Xing fed Jinjin a drop, then asked Butler Zhou for the shop link so he could purchase more [Spirit Dew] himself.
• Huang Tao examined a nearly empty bottle of [Spirit Dew], recognized Yuanming Pet Food Shop's name, and messaged his son.

Huang Zixuan learned that his father wanted to partner with Lin Yuan over Yuanming Pet Food Shop’s new Spirit Dew, and he agreed to help while asking his father not to pressure Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan received the final payments for the sold-out product and prepared to buy materials so he could begin treating Linghuan and Baishi.

• Huang Zixuan worried his father’s business plans might hurt Lin Yuan’s pet food shop, then watched Wonderstar Grass react strongly to a drop of Spirit Dew.
• Huang Tao explained that Spirit Dew had shown healing effects on Big Yellow and asked Huang Zixuan to help arrange a meeting with Lin Yuan; Huang Zixuan agreed and asked his father not to pressure his classmate.
• Customers received their Spirit Dew orders, praised the product, and contacted Lin Yuan about restocking or partnerships, including Handsome Liu Xing and Linhua Yellow Crane Tower Shop.
• Lin Yuan received 180,000 Alliance Coins in total and decided he could not meet every partnership request while Spirit Dew production remained limited.
• Lin Yuan used his savings, discount, and research department funds to prepare to buy the three products needed to begin treatment for Linghuan and Baishi.
