Chapter 12 - The Choice of the First Pet, Bai Jingchong’s Recommendation!
Upon hearing Bai Zian’s words, everyone was momentarily stunned.
Especially Bai Zian’s father, Bai Chengzhi, who couldn’t help but exclaim loudly.
Nearly a thousand spirit jade crystals—this amounts to 1 billion Jiuzhou coins.
Even though the Bai family is wealthy, they shouldn’t be so extravagant.
Moreover, spirit jade crystals were rare treasures, not comparable to ordinary Beast tamer’s materials.
And this was somewhat beyond reason.
He had never heard of a Beast Space requiring as many as a thousand spirit jade crystals to build.
“Stinky brat, what are you yelling about? Shut up.”
“Xiao An’s Beast Tamer talent is a mutated S-grade. So what if it costs a few more spirit jade crystals? It’s nothing to worry about.”
Bai Jingchong couldn’t help but speak up, directly reprimanding Bai Chengzhi, and then looked at Bai Zian with a satisfied expression.
Although he was also somewhat surprised when he first heard it,
After thinking it over, Bai Jingchong was reassured.
After all, the more spirit jade crystals used, the more powerful the constructed Beast Space would be, and the greater the future benefits.
The more spirit jade crystals Bai Zian used to build his Beast Space, the higher his aptitude must be.
Moreover, Bai Zian’s talent is a mutated one, which is quite rare in history.
It is normal for there to be some unique manifestations.
The most important point is that these spirit jade crystals are used for Bai Zian.
He was his most beloved grandson, so Bai Jingchong didn’t mind using more resources.
In contrast, Bai Chengzhi was left speechless and felt quite resigned.
In the past, when he built his Beast Space, his father wasn’t so generous.
Now that it was his child, his father seemed to treat resources as if they’re limitless, allowing Bai Zian to spend freely.
It was truly unreasonable.
However, since his father had spoken, he couldn’t say much more.
This matter seemed to come to an end here.
“Xiao An, you’ve successfully built the Beast Space. It’s time to contract your first spirit beast, right?”
Bai Jingchong looked at Bai Zian and asked about the important next step.
The three stages of becoming a Beast tamer were: awakening the Beast Tamer talent, building the Beast Space, and contracting the first pet beast.
The first two steps were already completed, and only the final step remained.
“Grandpa, do you have any suggestions for a water-type spirit beast?”
Bai Zian pondered for a moment, then looked back at Bai Jingchong.
To be honest, his first pet beast would definitely be a water-type spirit beast.
This was a given.
The reason was simple.
The Bai family was known for its water-type spirit beasts.
They had unique training secrets, a stable source of water-type spirit beasts, and the necessary growth resources for water-type spirit beasts.
For this reason, the first pet beast of Bai family disciples was almost always a water-type spirit beast.
With just the family resources, Bai family disciples could quickly gain strength and establish themselves in the Beast Taming field.
Just like Bai Zian’s father and grandfather, their first pet beasts were all water-type spirit beasts.
Of course, this didn’t mean that all future pet beasts had to be water-type.
The Bai family did not require specialization in water-type beyond the first pet beast.
Future pet beasts could be of any type, depending on personal needs and preferences.
However, for Bai Zian, the family’s constraints were actually not very strict.
After all, his grandfather Bai Jingchong doted on him so much.
Even if he choose a spirit beast of another attribute, Bai Jingchong wouldn’t mind much.
Moreover, Bai Zian possessed the [Eye of Revelation], which could see through all things.
The Bai family’s unique training methods might not be particularly useful to him.
But Bai Zian did want to obtain the Bai family’s water-type resources.
Beast growth, Beast Taming abilities, and various Beast Taming materials were all indispensable.
Even with the “omniscient” [Eye of Revelation], Bai Zian still needed resources.
So choosing a water-type spirit beast as his first pet was the best option for him.
“Grandpa’s Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish laid eggs recently. If you like, you can contract the offspring of the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish directly.”
Bai Jingchong said with a smile.
As soon as he said this, Bai Zian’s eyes lit up.
The Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish was Bai Jingchong’s trump card, a diamond-level pet beast with incredible strength.
The offspring of the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish must have considerable potential and might even grow to diamond level.
This was indeed a very good choice.
“Grandpa, I’d like to first understand and see various water-type spirit beasts before making a decision.”
Bai Zian said after some contemplation.
Although Bai Jingchong’s suggestion was excellent, Bai Zian did not make an immediate decision.
He had another idea.
You must know that his Beastmaster talent, [Eye of Revelation], was very special and allowed him to see through a certain range of all things.
So he wanted to personally observe the various water-type spirit beasts to see if he might discover something unexpected.
“Since you have your own thoughts, go ahead and take a look.”
Bai Jingchong nodded and did not refuse.
Because there was also a concept of compatibility between a Beast Tamer and their pet beast.
Having a pet beast with a high level of compatibility could yield twice the results with half the effort.
With this thought, Bai Jingchong took Bai Zian to the spirit beast egg storage.
As the door to the storage opened, a series of glass-like containers appeared before Bai Zian.
Inside these glass containers, there were spirit beast eggs quietly growing under the nourishment of nutrient solutions.
This was the Bai family’s spirit beast egg storage.
The Bai family was quite powerful, and besides Bai Jingchong’s family, there were also some family retainers.
For example, Bai Zhi and Bai Shao, who accompanied Bai Zian and were responsible for his protection.
The Bai family not only raised them but also prepared spirit beast eggs and Beast Tamer resources for them, which was the reason they are where they are now.
The Bai family’s spirit beast library served not only the Bai family but also handled matters related to the pet beast contracts of the retainers.
With this in mind, Bai Zian walked up to the containers and began to inspect them one by one.
