Chapter 7

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At this time, half a month had passed. 

Zhou Ming leisurely sat on a rocking chair, drinking tea. 

Looking at his own spirit herb garden, his face was full of satisfaction. 

Next to him, the Flower Fairy was singing. 

Although Zhou Ming couldn’t understand what she was singing. 

But the melody could make people intoxicated. 

The entire small courtyard seemed to be surrounded by celestial music. 

This isn’t it. 

Xiao Ling was still jumping around happily. 

And the spirit herb that Zhou Ming planted, the spirit core! 

In the Flower Fairy’s singing, it was swaying non-stop. 

It was also emitting a faint green light. 

It was full of spring. 

It was as if spring had arrived. 

Some spirit herbs were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. 

Along with the Flower Fairy’s singing change, some spirit herbs had reached maturity! 

“As expected of a once-in-a-century Mirage Beast!” 

Seeing the speed of the growth of the medicinal herbs. 

He recalled the situation where he had worked hard previously. 

Zhou Ming could not help but sigh. 

The Flower Fairy had not been in the small courtyard for long. 

But the spirit herbs and spirit cores here had undergone earth-shaking changes! 

One had to know. 

According to the records in the Federation Atlas. 

The spirit herbs and spirit cores planted by Zhou Ming. 

Most of them would need several years to reach maturity. 

But now, there were already many flowers and fruits. 

The fragrance spread out. 

Fortunately, the small courtyard was located in a relatively remote location. 

Otherwise, this fragrance would probably alarm the entire Yulan town. 

“Looks like I’ll have to find some precious seeds!” 

Zhou Ming muttered. 

Xiao Ling seemed to have heard something. 

She jumped and ran towards Zhou Ming. 

Then, she burrowed into Zhou Ming’s arms and whined pitifully. 

“Good gracious, I Just fed you a gold grade spirit core yesterday. Did you finish digesting it?” 

Zhou Ming could see what Xiao Ling was trying to do. 

This mythical little fellow was not easy to feed. 

During this period of time, whenever Xiao Ling saw a stalk of spirit herb mature. 

She would not hesitate to stuff it into her mouth. 

Zhou Ming didn’t mind. The spirit grass he grew all increased the level of his Mirage Beast. 

He had also fed Xiao Ling quite a lot of spirit cores. 

Moreover, this fellow wasn’t even interested in Silver-Rank spirit cores now! 

More importantly, after eating so many spirit cores, his level didn’t increase at all! 

He was still at Gold-Rank 6. 

If other Beastmasters found out about this… 

A mere cub-stage Mirage Beast would require such a large amount of spirit cores. 

They would probably vomit blood on the spot! 

An ordinary Gold-Rank Mirage Beast would need several months to digest a spirit core of the same level. 

It might even take a year to digest! 

As for Xiao Ling, who knew how much she had digested during this period of time! 

She could be described as a spirit core shredder. 

Regarding this… 

Zhou Ming wasn’t surprised. After all, it was a myth. 

If it was the same as the other Mirage Beasts… 

Then it was time for him to worry! 

“These are the last two!” 

“Looks like I’ll have to look for a Gold Rank Mirage Beast.” 

Zhou Ming took out two gold spirit cores from the system. 

Seeing the gold spirit cores, Xiao Ling’s eyes lit up. 

Her eyes lit up as she unceremoniously picked up the two spirit stones. 

She stuffed them into her small mouth like a gulp of jujubes. 

Gulp gulp. 

The two spirit cores that were half the size of her body disappeared. 

Then… 

Xiao Ling lay comfortably in Zhou Ming’s arms. 

Waves of light spread over her body. 

Zhou Ming knew that once the light disappeared, this fellow would be considered to have finished digesting. 

After all, he had experienced this situation several times. 

But this time, Zhou Ming realized that something was wrong! 

“She’s actually growing up!” 

Zhou Ming saw Xiao Ling’s body slowly grow bigger in his arms. 

Although it stopped after a while, Zhou Ming was still pleasantly surprised. 

He could clearly feel that Ling’s powers had become stronger. 

The defensive power in his body was also much denser. 

Then. 

Zhou Ming opened Xiao Ling’s interface. 

[Seraph] 

[Stage: Advanced stage of cub!] 

[Bloodline level: Mythical!] 

[Level: Gold-rank 8!] 

[Type: Light attribute!] 

[Innate skills: Holy Baptism, Fist of the Angel, divine light of judgement, six-winged winged soaring Kirin, others] 

“Wow, I didn’t eat the spirit core for nothing. I suddenly broke through two levels.” 

Zhou Ming touched Xiao Ling, who was sleeping soundly in his arms. He was pleasantly surprised. 

Then, he looked at his Familiar level. 

He had also broken through two ranks. 

He went straight from Gold-Rank 7 to Gold-Rank 9! 

It would take a few years for an ordinary Beastmaster to break through these two ranks! 

On the other hand, Zhou Ming had only used less than a week’s time… 

Genius? Monstrous? 

No, there was no word that could describe Zhou Ming’s rate of improvement. 

After the joy, Zhou Ming lay comfortably on the rocking chair and looked at the beautiful scenery around him. 

The small courtyard was located in the eastern suburbs. 

Although there were not many houses, there were many farmlands. 

Farmers were bustling about, planting crops. 

It was obviously a paradise. 

Most of the people in Yulan town were farmers. 

There were also some hunters who relied on hunting for a living. 

The food and accommodation in the town were basically self-sufficient! 

The mayor’s residence would also regularly buy some daily necessities from the big cities to exchange with the townspeople. 

“Big Brother Zhou, I didn’t expect you to be here today!” 

“I thought you went to capture Mirage Beasts again.” 

Zhou Ming heard the young voice and got up from the rocking chair. 

A pure young girl who was not even eighteen walked into the courtyard with a smile. 

Her name was Qing Ya, a resident of the nearby town. 

She had been cursed by a strange Mirage Beast since birth. 

Her face was covered with brown spots. 

Because of this, she almost never went out. 

Even if she went out to farm, she would wear a veil. 

Just some time ago, her face suddenly became better… 

Her personality also became more cheerful. 

She would often walk for half a day and come over to borrow some books about Mirage Beasts. 

These books were naturally collected by Zhou Ming. 

After a while, the two became familiar with each other. 

“I had something to do today, so I didn’t go out.” 

Zhou Ming placed Xiao Ling in his arms on the ground. 

“Xiao Ling, come over quickly and let big sister hug you.” 

Qing Ya squatted on the ground and called out to Xiao Ling with a gentle face. 

Xiao Ling, however, seemed to be a little unhappy. 

She ignored her and ran to the side to play with the Flower Fairy. 

“Big Brother Zhou, is this a newly contracted Mirage Beast?” 

“Wow, it’s so cute!” 

Qing Ya followed Ling and came to the side of the Flower Fairy. 

Seeing Qing Ya wanting to pick up the Flower Fairy, she was resisted again. 

Zhou Ming smiled and asked, “Well, her name is Flower Fairy. Are you here to borrow books again?” 

“This time, I’m not here to borrow books.” 

“I want to ask if you know anything about the God of Heaven.” 

The reason why Qing Ya had been borrowing books during this period of time. 

Was because she wanted to know something about the God of Heaven. 

She was very sure that her face had suddenly become better because it must have been a gift from the God of Heaven! 

That was why she was curious. 

Thinking that Big Brother Zhou knew more than she did, she might as well ask him. 

Hearing Qing Ya’s words, Zhou Ming smiled. 

“How would a mere Beastmaster like me know anything about a heavenly god?” 

Qing Ya nodded thoughtfully. 

Beastmasters were indeed very powerful in his eyes. 

But thinking about it carefully, Heavenly Gods were a supreme existence. 

There was indeed a world of difference between Beastmasters and Heavenly Gods! 

Qing Ya didn’t want to play around with Xiao Ling anymore. 

After thinking for a moment, he stood up and asked, “Thank you, Big Brother Zhou Ming. The food at my house is almost ready. Do you want to come over and have some with me?” 

“It’s fine. I’ve already eaten.” Zhou Ming rejected. 

“Alright then, I’ll be leaving first.” 

Qing Ya walked out of the courtyard a little reluctantly.
