Chapter 254 Unity of Heavenly Aspects_2
Chen Xing had experienced the benefits of a Beast Tamer Skills Stele; he only needed to cuddle up and sleep, and he could learn automatically during the night.
But in just a week's time, he had fully mastered the skill—a Beast Tamer Skills Stele was, of course, extremely good to have.
Otherwise, he would have to struggle and learn the skills on his own.

If one's learning ability wasn't strong, it could take a year and a half or even longer.

Director Huang was leisurely savoring a cup of fragrant tea.
"Director Huang."
"Ah, Classmate Chen, you've come. Our tea club just got a batch of new tea last week. Come, have a taste with me."
Chen Xing sat down, catching a faint fragrance at the tip of his nose.
"What's this?"
"Volcanic Red Tea, a new variety that has just arrived," Director Huang said with a smile. "It's top-grade new stock from Jiu Chi City. Those natives don't drink tea; in the past, these tea trees were all wasted."
Chen Xing tried a sip; the Volcanic Red Tea had a robust flavor, and after drinking, his lungs felt warm, as if there was a little furnace inside.
But Chen Xing hadn't forgotten his true purpose, "Director Huang, does the school's logistics department have an 'Unity of Heavenly Aspects' Skills Stele for exchange?"
Director Huang pondered, "A 'Unity of Heavenly Aspects' Stele?"
He then smiled and said, "Previously, the logistics department didn't have such resources for exchange, but if you want it, I can get one for you."
"How much?"
Director Huang said with a playful smile, "No need to talk about money—it's so crass. Besides, it's not like I have to pay for it. My brother-in-law just so happens to be in charge of a project related to a Beast Tamer Skills Stele, and the 'Unity of Heavenly Aspects' Stele is a result of his lab project. We're all family here, no need for money."
...
Upon leaving the logistics department, Chen Xing had thought it would take some effort to obtain the stele, but it turned out to be a simple matter of Director Huang's word.
Director Huang told him that it would take at most a month to get the stele.
Connections, like a net, through which many resources inaccessible to the general public could be easily acquired and traded.
Perhaps he should organize his connections well, establishing his own network.
With his own abilities, Chen Xing felt that building his own network might not be too difficult.
Beast Taming Evolution was a core demand for many Beast Tamers.
The species of a Beast Taming itself determines the Energy Level limit and indirectly the limit of strength!
It's a tangible need that all Beast Tamers chase after.
And with the talent to discover rarer evolutionary paths, leveraging that ability for resource trade or networking wouldn't be challenging.
The only important thing was how to make others believe he held such a talent.
For instance, establishing an identity similar to the genius Beast Taming Evolutionist, Li Guanqi.
This was crucial; the difference between deducing using knowledge or exploring using some method was significant.
Once the results were out, people's attitudes towards him would be drastically different.
If people learned of his ability to directly explore rare evolutionary forms, the best outcome for him would be getting seized and used as a human detector.
Therefore, establishing an appropriate persona was also vital.
Since he needed to establish an identity, it was necessary to learn some real content—not necessarily an expert mastery, but at least be able to answer questions that others put to him.
Chen Xing thought to himself, if not, a conversation with a professional could blow his cover in two sentences... and others would decry him as incompetent!
After leaving the logistics department, Chen Xing headed to the supply warehouse.
He was still working part-time there.
He had already discussed his schedule with others in the part-time group, and this afternoon he was on duty here.
Upon entering the warehouse, Chen Xing first summoned the Void Hunter.
The Void Hunter was the smallest in size; it flitted around Chen Xing, and its petite size was not conspicuous.
Yet it was very lively, swimming around him like a small fish.
In the deepest part of the warehouse, the spirit of the mountain and rocks glanced at the familiar figure, went through the familiar motions, then resumed its indifferent stance.
"The materials of the spatial attribute are over here... There are so few."
Standing near the shelf dedicated to storing spatial attribute materials in the warehouse, although he had seen it before, the sight of the shelf holding the spatial attribute materials still made him sigh.
The variety of spatial attribute treasure materials was too few compared to other attributes, barely filling up a single shelf.
He took out a spatial attribute material and placed it on the surface of the Void Hunter.
A dotted line extended, and a blue evolutionary path appeared.
He continued to try.
The second kind, the third kind, the fourth kind...
Finally, when he placed the forty-fifth material on the surface of the Void Hunter's body, an orange evolutionary path appeared.
However, an orange quality evolutionary path could not satisfy Chen Xing. According to his conjecture, the species potential of the Void Hunter itself should at least be of blue or purple quality.
This was inferred from the species' energy level limit.
Moreover, he had chosen a golden quality evolutionary path for Taotie, and Sìxiàng was of red quality, so choosing an orange quality evolutionary path for the Void Hunter still fell short by quite a bit.
"According to probability, unless there's no red quality evolutionary path, trying every material on this shelf should yield at least one red one," Chen Xing thought to himself, as the Void Hunter was of the spatial attribute, its evolutionary direction was definitely related to space.
Since it was related to space, the materials for its evolution would at least need to include one of the spatial attribute.
This shelf basically encompassed all the commonly found spatial attribute materials in the market, as well as a portion of the rare ones.
So, the probability of this shelf's materials yielding a high-quality evolutionary path was definitely not small.
"There it is!"
Chen Xing paused in his actions.
In the void before him, a golden dotted line appeared that only he could see.
Accompanying it was a percentage symbol: 20%.
Chen Xing's gaze fell on this piece of material, which looked like a shattered crystal on the outside.
The name tag on the shelf beside recorded its name: Mirror Guard Broken Heart.
That name sounded familiar; he remembered that the species that loved and fought to the death with the Void Hunter clan was called the Mirror Guard Clan.
So from the name, was this the shattered heart of the Mirror Guard Clan?
If so, then this evolutionary path was also related to the Mirror Guard Clan.
Born from each other, killing each other, and in the end, merging into one.
This thought popped into Chen Xing's head.
He chuckled wryly to himself.
There were still other materials to try, so he decided to try them all first before making a decision.
To see if there might be a higher quality evolutionary path.
After a busy afternoon, he finally tried all the materials in the warehouse on the Void Hunter.
He received one piece of good news and one piece of bad news.
Bad news: No higher quality colored evolutionary path was discovered, as if it didn't exist at all.
Good news: There were only two materials left to complete the collection of the golden quality evolutionary path!
Chen Xing took a deep breath. If he was willing to spend skill points, couldn't he directly evolve this golden path today?
But looking at his remaining skill points, he laughed at his own poverty.
Forget it, the energy level of the Void Hunter isn't even at a hundred yet, so there's no rush to evolve.
After testing the Void Hunter, he checked the time. It was time for him to go back; the Beast Tamers in the family breeding farm hadn't been trained, and he hadn't completed his daily routine yet.
First, he would go back and finish earning the skill points, since the logistics warehouse was right here, and these items wouldn't disappear if he left them here.
When leaving, Chen Xing casually exchanged the four materials he had discovered, placing them into his small pocket.
Back at his residence, after being busy for three hours completing the feeding and training for the day,
he then took out the body of the Howling Moon Ming King.
Thanks to its way of dying, having its soul hooked away and life seized by Sìxiàng,
the body of the Howling Moon Ming King was mostly intact from the outside.
Although it was dead, the remaining life force within its body had healed all the wounds on the surface, making it look like a brand-new large doll.
In Chen Lingya's room, Little Wo, who was eating fried chicken, sensed something and retracted its head into its shell the instant the Howling Moon Ming King's body was summoned.
It took quite a while before it stealthily peeked out with two eyes from its shell.
