"SIZZLE..."

The Ghost Hand gnawed at the Nightmare Deer King’s soul.

A gift from the Abyss, it was like a seasoning, making this soul deliciously tasty.

With their Spiritual natures complementing each other, Chu Yi licked the corner of his mouth, smacking his lips as if he was eating something.

After he finished devouring, the Ghost Hand leaped 20 levels and then stopped, having reached its limit: Tier 10 of the second stage.

Of course, the Nightmare Deer King’s soul was far more than just this.

The overflowing Power of the Soul was consumed by Chu Yi, and his majestic Spiritual energy surged, allowing him to jump two levels and advance to Red Copper Tier 3.

A Red Copper Beast Tamer can control elite-level Pet Beasts.

For that, Chu Yi had an idea.

He took out a black Shattered Crystal, shimmering with a beautiful purple halo: the Ink Fire Crystal.

It was the core material for the first stage of advanced evolution for fire-type Pet Beasts and was extremely rare.

No wonder the Nightmare Deer King could use flames.

However, the flame state provided by the Ink Fire Crystal was unstable.

After being refined by the giant hand of flesh, the pollution was removed, returning it to a pure state.

Such a small piece could not be measured by money; it could only be exchanged for a large number of contribution points.

In other words, he could now start preparing Bika’s first evolution materials.

The level cap for servant-level Pet Beasts was 20.

The prerequisite for evolution was roughly between level 15 and 20, with no set standard.

Even at level 10, an evolution could be initiated; it was just that the success rate was like hitting the jackpot.

Chu Yi considered whether to use the Federation’s evolution route or to prepare a feast.

"WHIMPER..."

Bika approached Chu Yi’s trouser leg, lifted its head, and wagged its fox tail.

Chu Yi stroked its head, his thoughts stirring.

My strength is advancing by leaps and bounds. It will eventually be exposed, which requires a reasonable explanation.

It just so happens that I previously used a feast to enhance Bika’s talent. The Federation’s database has been refreshed, determining the possibility of Mutated Evolution.

Therefore, my Pet Beast’s bloodline is extraordinary, its Spiritual energy shared, the Beast Taming feeds back to me, and combined with my Superior Spiritual Talent, I advanced directly to Red Copper.

Bika was his overt strength, which needed to be improved.

The Deceit Beast, on the other hand, was a hidden secret. Since it leveled up rapidly, its progression could be slowed a bit to grind evolution points.

Chu Yi estimated that Bika’s talent had reached high-level servant. Using a feast to enhance it further would mean pushing it to the elite level.

This upgrade speed would be astonishing to outsiders.

Even an excellent Beast Tamer would take half a year preparing for the first evolution, and there would still be a chance of failure.

Chu Yi, however, had completed the prerequisite for the first evolution merely by preparing a feast.

And it was only the third day!

Immediately, he took out several Spirit Cores and placed them in Jiang Qiuyun’s palm.

"Daughter, let Diao Diao go on patrol. Daddy has something to do."

After last night’s fierce battle, besides gathering materials, Chu Yi had also collected the corpses of Beast Tamers, so his Spirit Core stock was quite rich.

"Okay, Daddy."

Jiang Qiuyun obediently summoned the Dragon Eagle, which was staring eagerly at the Spirit Cores, and said in a childlike voice, "Diao Diao, Daddy wants you to patrol."

"CHIRP!"

The Dragon Eagle chirped, expecting to get its Spirit Core before heading off to work.

No, why should I, your Lord Diao, listen to this damn man? What’s your rank, daring to order Lord Diao?!

"Oh, well, then... okay."

Under the Dragon Eagle’s cutesy act, the innocent-looking Jiang Qiuyun extended the Spirit Core, only to have her hand stopped by a large one.

"You haven’t done any work and you expect free food?"

Chu Yi glanced at this lazy, foolish eagle, seeing through its intention to slack off, and said coldly, "Daughter, remember this: if it dares to ask today, it will dare to snatch tomorrow!"

Damn it!

The Dragon Eagle’s face turned black.

But seeing this detestable man sticking closely by Jiang Qiuyun’s side, effectively carrying a hostage with him, gave it no chance for foul play.

It remembered that this man’s left hand bore an evil power. Should it make a reckless move, he wouldn’t hesitate to attack its master.

"CHIRP!" (Stingy jerk!)

The Dragon Eagle flapped its wings and soared high into the sky, going on patrol.

With that foolish Dragon Eagle on patrol, Chu Yi finally immersed his consciousness into his mind, entering the eerie "kitchen."

"Query feast."

Clutching the Ink Fire Crystal, Chu Yi used evolution points to purchase a feast recipe.

His thoughts flickered as countless lights and shadows squirmed. _{fre ewebno(v)e\l.(c)om}

[Flame of the Evil King]: Soulless Tyrant’s Eyeball x1, Moonflower x5, Polluted Filthy Water x20, Cursed Flower x1... Cost: 500.

[Blazing Flame Beak]: Phoenix Feather x1, Sun Gold x3, Jade Bamboo Juice x50... Cost: 20,000.

[Mad Fire Skull]: Mad God’s Skull x1, Mad Will x10, Flower of Ashes x3... Cost: 3,000,000.

...

The recipes containing Ink Fire Crystal were listed.

The feast names got progressively more outrageous, and the prices increasingly absurd.

Of course, these were just the materials for the feasts; the real cost lay in the preparation method.

After multiple selections, Chu Yi finalized a plan.

[Mo Xie]: Ink Fire Crystal x1, Black Gunpowder x10, Shattered Heart x5, Twisted Will x1, Cost: 20.

Under his omniscience, Chu Yi had determined this was currently the most suitable option.

Once decided, Chu Yi immediately purchased it.

A wisp of spiritual light flickered in his mind, guiding him on how to prepare the feast. In gaming terms, it was system-level, hand-holding guidance.

The materials were not fixed; stronger ingredients could be substituted to create a higher quality feast.

What was this called? This was called safeguarding consumer rights! Love it, love it.

Black Gunpowder? My dear daughter’s arsenal, those three boxes of grenades, contain more potent explosives. I can extract that directly.

Shattered Heart? I wouldn’t bother with a Fireball Mouse’s. I’ll use the polluted heart dropped by the Nightmare Deer King.

Twisted Will? I’ll use the frenzied flesh instead. This writhing flesh contains a strand of mad will, albeit very weak.

Chu Yi began to prepare.

The feast’s attributes leaned towards combustion and explosion.

First, he handled the polluted heart.

A lump of broken heart wriggled and pulsed on the counter, like a lively octopus.

Chu Yi wielded a meat tenderizer and slammed it down.

BANG!

The heart burst apart. The polluting radiation from the Abyss merely stirred a slight breeze in this eerie kitchen.

He pinched the pollution with one hand and set it aside.

Chu Yi collected the dark red juice from the burst heart. Then, he used a knife to process the frenzied flesh, chopping it into a mince, mixing it with the heart juice, and working it with his tools.

These two components originally belonged to the Nightmare Deer King’s flesh.

At this moment, Spiritual energy wafted out, like specks of starlight, perfectly merging.

Next, Chu Yi ground the explosive into powder, sprinkling it like seasoning over the meat. He massaged it with his hands and let it marinate for a short while.

He set up the pot and started the fire.

The eerie pot was encircled by sharp teeth, and an eyeball emerged from its center, blinking.

Chu Yi, expressionless, tossed the Ink Fire Crystal inside.

SWISH...

Under the Mysterious Power, the Ink Fire Crystal melted into a puddle of purple oil, which ignited, releasing thick black smoke.

The black smoke billowed, and one scarlet eyeball after another emerged from it, staring at Chu Yi with greedy eyes.
