Beast Taming Patrol

Having returned to the Lin Family, Lin Su quickly immersed himself in learning how to prepare energy liquid. As for Qiuqiu, it spent the day in the garden just like the day before, creating its own racetrack to joyfully compete in friendly races with its new friend, the Lightning Fox.

Since the Lin Family lacked the various resources and tools needed to prepare energy liquid, Lin Su didn't immediately start practicing the preparation but began from scratch to understand the relevant knowledge of energy liquid.

Energy liquid and Energy Cubes are actually quite similar; both convert supernatural resources into forms more suitable for beast absorption and utilization. On this level, there's not much difference between the two in principle.

The so-called supernatural resources are the various resources needed by Beast Tamers, which includes but is not limited to certain body materials of exotic beasts, special items obtained from the exotic beasts' preserved power, and fruit produced by plant-type exotic beasts.

Supernatural resources are categorized based on their energy strength, effect, and rarity into ten levels, from level one to level ten resources.

The evolution and growth of a beast cannot occur without the support of these resources. Consequently, in the divine martial arts world, the preparation of energy liquid is a useful skill for Beast Tamers. Every Beast Tamer knows a bit about it, and some specialize in the preparation, who are called "preparation masters".

For instance, the vice-president Mu Yuxing that Lin Su had just met is one such preparation master.

Because it's a secondary profession, the ranking system for preparation masters is much simpler than that for Beast Tamers, consisting of only three levels: Starlight Level, Moonlight Level, and Solar Corona Level, each corresponding to basic, advanced, and Emperor Level energy liquid preparation, respectively.

Having managed to prepare a lower-tier basic energy liquid, Lin Su could barely be considered a Starlight Level preparation master, though certainly, he would be the worst among them.

After getting a rough idea about the information related to preparation masters, Lin Su dove into a sea of knowledge.

Study! Study makes me happy!

As the sun set, Qiuqiu finished its running training, and only then did Lin Su put down the material he had been holding.

A list teeming with densely packed writing appeared beside him—a list of materials he had selected for his own short-term practice of energy liquid preparation.

He handed the list to A'Zi, asking for help with the procurement, after which Lin Su brought Qiuqiu back into the training space and lay down on his bed to fall into a deep sleep.

After returning to Earth, he would continue working with Qin Nan to complete the research project on the Divine Light Butterfly.

…

Time flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

During this month, Lin Su gradually got used to traveling back and forth between the two worlds daily, and his life started to get back on track.

On Earth, Lin Su worked continuously as Qin Nan's research assistant throughout the month, participating in the research on the Divine Light Butterfly.

In high school, Lin Su had excelled in theoretical knowledge, but what he had learned was much too basic for a research project on the evolutionary path of a Monarch species.

Nevertheless, this shortcoming was remedied over the month's research. Under Qin Nan's guidance and intense study, describing Lin Su's grasp of related knowledge as advancing by leaps and bounds would not be an exaggeration.

Even among the students of Beast Tamer University, very few could directly participate in a Monarch species research project like he was.

With Lin Su's assistance, Qin Nan's research finally bore fruit.

A stable evolutionary path for the high-ranking leader species, the Divine Light Butterfly, had been discovered.

This new evolutionary form with triple talents in the Spirit, Light, and Fire categories was named by the two after some discussion: the Phoenix Pattern Holy Butterfly.

This new species has control over the Talent Skills Monarch Power, indicating that its species rank has reached the Monarch level. As for whether it's lower, middle, or higher Monarch level, that still needs to be determined through a comprehensive assessment of all its Talent Skills and various indicators.

This evolutionary path has already been submitted by Qin Nan. However, due to the investigation involving a completely new Monarch species evolutionary path, the review process isn't so simple and will take a bit more time, and the expected reward of one hundred thousand contribution points will only be credited after the review is passed.

In addition to his own research progress, Lin Su did not neglect Qiuqiu's daily training during this month.

Qiuqiu became a regular in the neighboring training room, which was seldom used as it could only facilitate the training of Talent Skills for juvenile-level and elite-level beasts, thus becoming a treasure ground for Qiuqiu.

In the beginning, it needed Lin Su's help to open the training room door and select functions via voice command. After accidentally discovering that the intelligent training room could recognize beast language, Qiuqiu simply began taking the Energy Cube and Lin Su's access card for its training sessions.

Meanwhile, in the divine martial world, Qiuqiu's training did not cease. Over the month, it frequently raced with the Lightning Fox and made several other beast friends in the garden, jointly developing various training methods.

After such diligent training for a full month, Qiuqiu's progress was tremendous.

A month prior, Qiuqiu's Snow Trace was close to reaching stage II already, and after such intense training for a long duration, surpassing stage II was inevitable.

While Frost Storm had not yet broken through, as it was the main focus in the training room, its proficiency had rapidly improved. Its power had greatly increased compared to the Frost Storm that Qiuqiu had mustered a month earlier.

As for the Snow Blow skill, its progress was relatively slow with self-practice. Fortunately, thanks to the special nature of Xue Henqing, this skill could passively improve as the proficiency of Frost Storm increased, and now it too had seen substantial progress.
