What is a Genius?

Zhong Yi cultivated this Red Lotus, and in the future, as long as the Red Lotus is kept healthy, the Beast Taming Shop will be able to produce nearly a liter of digestive fluid every week.

Conservative estimates suggest it could sell for over 40 Federal Dollars!

The profits from raising these production-type beasts that can produce high-quality materials are far greater than those from selling ordinary beasts.

Zhong Yi plans to change the business direction of his beast-taming shop called "Evolution". He will no longer engage in the business of reselling ordinary beasts, but will instead transform into a high-end business.

At this moment, the two buds of the red hibiscus, which were larger than Zhong Yi's fist, had quietly bloomed, emitting a rich fragrance.

The insect-trapping hibiscus is a type of animal that uses its fragrance and nectar secreted by its stamens to attract and trap insects.

The Red-bellied Hibiscus inherits the fragrance of the Insectivorous Hibiscus, but its fragrance carries a faint, almost imperceptible, fishy smell, somewhat like the smell of a snake's nest on a rainy day.

Fortunately, the fragrance of the red hibiscus is strong enough that the fishy smell contained within it is not obvious.

The flowers of the Red-flowered Hibiscus are a very rich purplish-red. If the dark red veins on the dark green leaves of the Red-flowered Hibiscus resemble a winding serpent.

The folds and grooves on the flower resemble the tongue of a snake.

Just as Zhong Yi was about to put the red hibiscus into his storage bag, the red hibiscus gently swayed its stem and rubbed its two newly blooming flowers against Zhong Yi's palm.

This scene greatly surprised Zhong Yi!

Even if a plant-based beast reaches the extraordinary level and its quality reaches silver, it will not develop much intelligence.

However, this red hibiscus, which was still of bronze quality and of mortal beast level, had already begun to show a close attitude towards Zhong Yi.

It should be noted that Zhong Yi did not have a contract with Hongqiang Furong.

Just as Zhong Yi was surprised and puzzled, a flash of inspiration struck him!

The Red Lotus evolved from the Soul-Flowing Soil, and its current state is mostly related to the Soul-Flowing Soil.

Zhong Yi found a glass bottle in the warehouse and tentatively instructed the red hibiscus plant that had not been contracted by him to expel digestive fluids.

As if understanding Zhongyi's commands, the red hibiscus closed its flowers and carefully poured the digestive juices into the glass bottle with its not-so-large opening, without spilling a single drop.

This made Zhong Yi marvel inwardly.

After interacting with Hongqiang Furong for more than ten minutes, Zhongyi could conclude that although the beasts enhanced with the Flowing Soul Soil would not become Zhongyi's beasts directly like those enhanced with the Soul Control Seed.

However, they will obey Zhongyi's instructions.

This discovery is undoubtedly good news for Zhong Yi.

In the future, if Zhongyi wants to obtain Hongqiang Furong's digestive juices, he only needs to give Hongqiang Furong a command.

Otherwise, even with Zhong Chenghuai's help, extracting the nectar from a disobedient hibiscus would require considerable effort, and there was a high possibility of damaging the hibiscus flower during the process.

After such a long time, Hong Ji has finally sorted out and integrated the materials she has absorbed into her body.

Pieces of red, translucent scales began to appear on Hong Ji's body, instantly forming a red battle armor.

This makes Hong Ji look like a female general who is galloping across the battlefield.

Looking at her own attire, Hong Ji was clearly not satisfied with it.

Then, the red scales that originated from the Crystal Scorpion peeled off Red Princess piece by piece.

The nail plates, which were originally half a centimeter thick, became thinner and smaller.

Finally, these seemingly tiny armor plates, each no bigger than a sesame seed, were intricately combined and transformed into a long dress with a texture like silk on Hong Ji's body.

This long dress is neither too gorgeous nor too revealing, but it perfectly accentuates Hong Ji's waistline.

As the saying goes, "Clothes make the man," and when Hong Ji took off her white robe and put on this red dress, her appearance improved by at least 10 percentage points.

Suddenly, Hong Ji leaned forward, and a scorpion tail nearly two meters long appeared behind her.

This black and red scorpion tail is not exactly the same as the tail of the Crystal Scorpion; at most, it is only about 80% similar.

It is clear that Hong Ji reassembled the tail of the Ryuen Crystal Scorpion using the materials she absorbed.

Seemingly dissatisfied with the way she released her scorpion tail, Hong Ji tried a few more times.

The release motion became increasingly fluid as Hong Ji experimented with it.

Zhong Yi secretly thought that tomorrow he would go to the Beast Tamer Association with Zhong Ling to complete the Soul Awakening Ceremony. After awakening the Soul Foundation, it would be time to take Hong Ji to the Secret Realm to improve her level.

The world Zhong Yi transmigrated to was a game world, where the quality of tamed beasts was generally improved through spiritual liquids prepared by the creators.

Leveling up is achieved by killing monsters in secret realms; after these monsters die, a portion of their energy enters the hunter's body.

In addition to hunting monsters in secret realms, some elite monsters also produce special energy cores.

These energy cores can be directly absorbed by the beasts to increase their level.

There's a saying that's been circulating in this world: what truly hinders a Beastmaster's strength isn't the rank of the Beast, but its quality.

After all, if a beast of extraordinary quality cannot reach the silver rank, it does not even qualify to advance to the fantasy rank.

After leaving the warehouse, Zhong Yi went to the front hall and had a casual meal with Zhong Chenghuai and Zhong Ling.

Zhong Ling, this little girl, is quite good at cooking, and the talent of her contracted substitute doll, Da Lingdang, is also focused on cooking.

The dishes they made together were no worse than those made by restaurant chefs.

After dinner, Zhong Ling wanted to talk to Zhong Yi for a while, but Zhong Chenghuai urged her to go back to her room to rest.

Firstly, because of her affection, she was bitten by the Ghostly Hairy Spider. Even though she has now regained consciousness, she is still somewhat weak and needs to rest more.

Secondly, to undergo Soul Awakening at the Beastmaster Association, one must ensure they are full of energy.

The Soul Awakening Ceremony can be considered one of the greatest opportunities in life to change one's destiny!

In a broad sense, the result of Soul Awakening is simply to clarify a Beastmaster's talent.

However, from a harsher perspective, a soul-awakening ceremony strictly divides beast tamers into 369 ranks.

A beast tamer's potential can be measured in two ways.

The first aspect is whether one has awakened their destined beast.

The second aspect is whether the beast tamer has awakened the beast tamer's talent; both are equally important for a beast tamer.

Those who awaken both their innate beast taming and beast master talents can be considered geniuses, one in ten thousand.

Of course, even among geniuses, there are differences in strength and weakness. This difference lies in the potential of one's innate beast taming ability and the development of the beast tamer's own talent.

Only a very small percentage of people will awaken both their innate Beast Taming and Beast Master talents simultaneously, while for those Beast Masters who have only awakened one of the two...

A person's innate beast taming ability is often greater than their beast tamer talent!
