Chapter 682: Chapter 683: Spirit Beast Egg_1

"Speaking of which, next up is treating Spirit Beasts, you shouldn’t have any problem with that, right?"

Feng Yuan looked at Qi Xiaoshuang and asked, then thought for a moment before Qi Xiaoshuang said,

"It shouldn’t be a big deal."

Although the main duties of a Spirit Beast Breeder are to train and develop exercise plans for Spirit Beasts, some knowledge of treating injuries is also required. As for training and other such matters, after all, they are not recruiting people, so they can’t possibly assess those aspects.

Treating injuries is different because injuries are bound to happen during extreme training, and that’s when a Spirit Beast Breeder needs to step in to handle the treatment. Plus, ordinary people are aware of this, unlike training and crafting exercise plans, which the public might not have access to.

"I wonder if any of us will be selected this time."

In the Breeder’s office, a group of staff members discussed while marking exam papers, because the exams were duplicated and marked separately by two people, they weren’t worried that their conversation would cause any mistakes in marking.

"Probably not, those top students don’t seem to be very interested in it."

"Can’t help it, staying behind to cultivate Spirit Beasts isn’t as interesting as traveling around with old pals."

"I wonder which city his disciple will be from."

"Speaking of which, that person is also here to participate, do you think he might..."

"Don’t be foolish, even if he is willing, he needs to have the courage to accept them."

"True, the title of Spirit Beast Breeding Master might hold sway among us humans, but when it comes down to it, it might not necessarily be as effective as dedicated teaching from Divine Beasts."

"What do you think his purpose is for participating? I don’t believe he’s interested in the title of mentor."

"I don’t know, from the information I have, that person is quite capricious, at least the Special Operations team can’t guess what he’ll do next."

"It’s great to have insider information, hey, what other juicy insider news do you have? Come on, spill it～"

"How can that be considered insider info? It’s all over the Special Operations team, not to mention he once spent some time there, those Special Ops guys are well aware of that."

"Tsk! Show off, but what’s it like to have a girlfriend in the Special Ops? Must be thrilling, huh?"

As the conversation went on, the topic gradually strayed until Granny Mianlan cleared her throat, bringing the staff to a halt. Only then, noticing her standing at the door whom they didn’t realize had appeared, did they hurriedly return to their work, guiltily marking the exam papers.

After scanning the room, Granny Mianlan didn’t have much to say, knowing that because of their job responsibilities, the people in the Breeding House could not travel far, and so gossip became their best form of entertainment.

"Granny, is there something you need?"

In the rest area, Feng Yuan was playing with Xiao Ji when he saw Granny Mianlan approaching him, so he proactively asked. Looking at Feng Yuan, Granny Mianlan said,

"I want to ask you, when you saved it before, was it a coincidence or was it..."

Noticing Granny Mianlan’s gaze, Xiao Ji was a bit confused, and Feng Yuan said, somewhat baffled,

"What’s the matter? Do you guys have another Spirit Beast Egg that’s been damaged?"

Feng Yuan couldn’t help thinking this way because the implication in Granny Mianlan’s words seemed to suggest she wanted Feng Yuan’s assistance, and even though it’s not common, Spirit Beast Eggs do get damaged from time to time.

Granny Mianlan nodded with a touch of sadness and said,

"Yes, there’s a Spirit Beast Egg that was harmed by the Blade of Death, and they don’t have much in the way of a solution. Even if it hatches, it will..."

Though not every damaged Spirit Beast Egg is like Xiao Ji’s previous situation, close to death, if not treated well, significant potential loss, shortened lifespan, or various physiological defects are common outcomes.

After thinking it over, Feng Yuan chuckled and said,

"It should be a heroic outcome, right? Don’t worry, I can handle it. If not, I can call Nagna over, or ask Lorraine Tower for help."

"Thank you."

Granny Mianlan didn’t doubt how Feng Yuan had guessed it. Anything worth her asking would never be just any ordinary Spirit Beast Egg. Having known each other for a long time, Granny Mianlan and Feng Yuan understood each other quite well.

"But, I’m not footing the bill for the materials, you know～"

"Of course, since you agreed, we’ll give it to you later as an assignment. I hope you’ll take good care of it."

"Well..."

Feng Yuan noticed Xiao Ji on his head giving off a whiff of jealousy and said with a bright smile,

"I’ll help with the healing, and then I’ll leave the rest to you. You know, I don’t have any experience in training or nurturing..."

Glancing at Xiao Ji on his head looking at her with a plaintive gaze, Granny Mianlan chuckled and said,

"Alright."

"What did Granny come to find you for just now?"

Qi Xiaoshuang, seeing Granny Mianlan walk away, curiously probed Feng Yuan for information. The surrounding competitors couldn’t help but prick up their ears to eavesdrop.

Cradling Xiao Ji in his arms, Feng Yuan said irritably,

"The next round of assessment involves practical operations; what kind of leaks could there be? It’s just healing a Spirit Beast, but Granny did have a small matter she wanted my help with."

"A small matter?"

Qi Xiaoshuang looked at Feng Yuan skeptically. She didn’t believe Granny Mianlan would specifically come to Feng Yuan just for a small matter. Feng Yuan nodded, gently pinching Xiao Ji as he said,

"Yeah, they have a damaged Spirit Beast Egg they couldn’t deal with properly, so they thought of me for help."

"Eh?!"

Qi Xiaoshuang was somewhat surprised, but seeing Xiao Ji in Feng Yuan’s arms, she understood. Feng Yuan had managed to save Xiao Ji from such grave injuries before, and now its strength was so formidable. It made sense that they would seek Feng Yuan’s assistance with this matter.

The others who overheard this began whispering among themselves. In their view, Feng Yuan was a formidable rival. Healing a damaged Spirit Beast Egg was no small matter; after all, not many people were capable of treating such eggs.

"This is too..."

In the examination hall, looking at the Spirit Beast Egg handed to Feng Yuan, Qi Xiaoshuang muttered her dissatisfaction under her breath. She had thought it would be an informal request for assistance, but didn’t expect it to be used as part of the assessment.

Looking at the Spirit Beast Egg before him, Xiao Ji approached it curiously and examined the eggshell stained black by dark marks. Feng Yuan carefully sensed it and then began writing a long list of medicinal materials on paper.

Unlike the others, the healing medicines laid out on the table would not suffice to mend the egg before him. After a moment’s thought, Feng Yuan wrote down another pile of items while waiting for them to bring the materials over.

"What is this..."

Seeing the content on the second piece of paper Feng Yuan wrote, the staff member standing by expressed some surprise. After finishing, Feng Yuan handed the paper to the staff member and said,

"This is what needs to be done after it’s healed. You can do this, right?"

"We could, but why..."

Looking at the paper divided into two parts detailing the training content, the staff member was puzzled. Feng Yuan glanced at the egg and said,

"That represents its own choice, whether to pursue the ultimate strength. No one else should decide that for it."

The staff member sensed the caution in Feng Yuan’s words and nodded in agreement,

"Of course, we wouldn’t force a Spirit Beast to do something it doesn’t want. It’s just that..."

"Someone always has to make silent sacrifices and contributions, right?"

Feng Yuan glanced meaningfully at Agunas beside him and sighed. The staff member didn’t respond; he hadn’t expected Feng Yuan to know so much. As he petted Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"It doesn’t look too serious. Even though the power of the Death Series has penetrated its insides, saving it won’t be particularly difficult."

The staff member could only offer a wry smile to Feng Yuan’s comment. If it had truly been simple, why would Granny Mianlan swallow her pride and seek out Feng Yuan? Realizing they were all at a loss, the staff member could only sigh helplessly.

Xiao Ji looked at the Spirit Beast Egg in front of it, lost in thought. Unlike ordinary people, Xiao Ji could sense that the egg was not only contaminated by the power of the Death Series but even the shell was damaged; it was just that the polluted area had prevented anyone from noticing.

Xiao Ji looked towards Feng Yuan, unsure if he had noticed this detail. In its eyes, the omnipotent Feng Yuan should have realized it, but why...

"Silly goose."

Feng Yuan chuckled while stroking Xiao Ji’s head. Although he didn’t know what Xiao Ji was thinking, watching it fetch items to elevate itself and gently brush its small wings over the scarred area, Feng Yuan could easily guess.

"Are you worried about it?"
