Beast Taming: I Can Bestow Entries

Seeing Chen Mo in this state, Qingling instinctively wanted to laugh, but held it back and said generously:

"No need to be polite, we have plenty of these in the Qingqiu Secret Realm!"

"Senior, may I take it with me then?"

Chen Mo asked.

He himself was still very young and didn't need anti-aging or anything like that, so he thought of giving this Anti-Aging Fruit to Aunt Meng.

If Aunt Meng was pleased and forgave all his debts, that would be even better.

"Go ahead."

Qingling nodded gently.

After showing Chen Mo around the unpolluted parts of the Qingqiu Secret Realm, the Nine-tailed Beauty took him and Qing Jiu back to the Spirit Realm.

Seeing the evolved Xiao Jiu, Chen Meng was surprised as she congratulated them.

It seemed like just the month before last she had taken this boy to visit Dr. Xu Zhongming, and Dr. Xu's proposed Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox evolution plan was indeed a big joke.

Now Xiao Jiu had truly embarked on the path of the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox!?

Is this what having the golden fortune of a Spirit Master means!?

Since their mission was accomplished, they did not linger in Bone City but returned to Blue Star.

Returning to Blue Star, it was just around evening.

Looking at the splendid sunset, Chen Mo felt content.

Unexpectedly, this trip to Qingqiu only took a day.

"How about... we have a special dinner tonight to celebrate A Jiu and Xiao Jiu's evolution. The cooking task can be left to me and Tuantuan!"

"Then I'll trouble you."

"Who would have thought, you're quite the chef, handsome!"

Chen Meng and Luo Li readily agreed, having tasted the delicious little dumplings made by the Glutinous Rice Ball Spirit in the morning.

Therefore, they were looking forward to the dinner.

After dinner, everyone was happy.

Before parting, Chen Mo naturally gave out the Anti-Aging Fruit.

Chen Meng didn't hold back, thanked him, and accepted it.

Although her tone was quite calm.

But from the slight upward curve of her mouth, it was clear that Aunt Meng was very pleased with this gift.

——————————————

Early the next morning, Chen Mo took a taxi to a plant breeding base in Kyoto City.

This breeding base is affiliated with the Hongmeng Group, and Chen Mo came here to complete the [Asexual Reproduction] entry challenge.

Asexual reproduction refers to a method of reproduction in which new individuals are produced directly from the parent body without the combination of male and female reproductive cells.

The most common is vegetative propagation in plants, where new individuals can be bred using roots, stems, leaves, etc.

However, this reproductive process is too long; completing it in a week is almost impossible.

Of course, in this Spirit World, it can be achieved with the help of wood-type Spiritual Beasts.

And most plant breeders' Spiritual Beasts have mastered ripening techniques.

Following the address on WeChat, Chen Mo arrived at a laboratory on the second floor of the breeding base.

He knocked on the door, and shortly after, a researcher in his 30s with square-framed glasses came out.

"Hello, are you Dr. Ye?"

Chen Mo asked.

He was able to contact Dr. Ye thanks to Aunt Meng's connections again.

"That's me. So you're the young man Master Meng mentioned!"

Upon seeing Chen Mo, Dr. Ye was a bit surprised.

Yesterday, Chen Meng had contacted him, saying there was a young man from the company coming over for plant research, and she asked him to assist.

But he hadn't expected it to be Chen Mo.

"You know me?"

"The National Daoist School Competition, I watched your match. The Blazing Flame Fox was so cool! And the scene where the Glutinous Rice Ball Spirit force-fed the Fire Dragon Beast with dark cuisine was quite amusing. By the way, where are your Spiritual Beasts?"

Dr. Ye asked with a laugh.

"They're in the Spiritual Space."

Since Xiao Jiu evolved, its size became too large, and being an extremely rare Spiritual Beast, it easily attracted attention. So Chen Mo had retracted it into the Spiritual Space before entering.

"Come out!"

A summoning array of thunder and fire appeared beneath Chen Mo's feet, and then the Qingqiu Fox with pure white fur appeared in front of him.

"You've changed Spiritual Beasts? No, your Spiritual Beast evolved!? Is this the legendary Qingqiu Fox!?"

Seeing the Qingqiu Fox, obviously a size larger, Dr. Ye was a bit bewildered and shocked.

"Ahem, I found some time yesterday to evolve it."

Feeling a bit like he was showing off, Chen Mo then went straight to the point:

"Doctor, I've come to observe the reproductive process of 10 asexual reproduction plants today. I'd like you to help speed up this process."

"Your request isn't difficult, but I don't have any asexual reproduction plants here."

"I brought my own."

With that, Chen Mo took out nearly 20 different plants from the Space Ring.

Potatoes, Chinese knotweed, green algae, shiitake mushrooms...

They were all quite common types.

"Then there's no problem."

Dr. Ye nodded, then curiously asked:

"The second round of the competition starts tomorrow, shouldn't you be preparing for that?"

"I'm still a high school student, and researching plant asexual reproduction is a school assignment. As for the Daoist School Competition, I'm just participating on the side, whether I place or not doesn't matter. I can't let a competition interfere with my studies."

Chen Mo said casually.

Dr. Ye: ...

I don't believe you.

"Let's begin! It's up to you, Qingbao."

Dr. Ye placed the various plants in petri dishes, then gently spoke to a small humanoid Spiritual Beast suspended in the air, resembling a doll.

This Spiritual Beast was only palm-sized, its body was an off-white color, and a curved bean sprout-like antenna was on its head, making it quite adorable.

It was a Bean Sprout Elf, evolved from Little Douya, a wood-type Spiritual Beast.

"Whoosh~"

The Bean Sprout Elf let out a soft hum, and a blue-green shimmer appeared on its tiny hands. Then, wood-type Spiritual Power formed into a green rain, falling over the plants.

Immediately, these plants seemed to be cast with magic, beginning to grow and reproduce rapidly...

Despite its small size, Dr. Ye's Bean Sprout Elf had the power of a Commander 1st Rank. As its most used technique, ripening was honed to near mastery.

Chen Mo watched the plants' reproduction process without blinking, pretending to jot down notes, as if he were genuinely conducting research.

Seeing Chen Mo observing the plant growth process with such seriousness, occasionally jotting something on paper, Dr. Ye couldn't help but admire this young man before him.

Clearly capable of relying on his own Spiritual Beasts, yet still so diligent!

20 minutes later, the [Asexual Reproduction] entry challenge was successfully completed.

"By the way, Dr. Ye, have you had breakfast yet? My Spiritual Beast made a few extra Sakura Mochi; would you like to try some?"

Chen Mo took out a few Sakura Mochi from the Space Ring, exuding a rich fragrance.

He decided to take his [Culinary Social] initiative to perfection, aiming to turn Sister Meng's friends into his own!

"Then I'll gladly accept."

Looking at the dry biscuits on his desk, Dr. Ye happily accepted Chen Mo's offer.

"Delicious!"

After devouring three pieces of Sakura Mochi like a whirlwind, Dr. Ye praised.

Seeing Dr. Ye and the Bean Sprout Elf enjoy the food, Chen Mo couldn't help but eat a piece himself.

"Having a Food Spirit that can cook is the best!"

It could satisfy his cravings and also expand his network.

More importantly, it could level up on its own without any of Chen Mo's effort!

Over the past month or so, the Glutinous Rice Ball Spirit had been making various pastries every day, and although the level of these pastries was generally not high, they came in abundance.

Now it had reached the Awakened Ninth Rank, just a step away from being Transcendent.

It's estimated that in a few days, the little one will break through!
