Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
As a bronze-ranked Guardian Beast, the intelligence of the Aromatherapy Rabbit was at least higher than that of the Border Collie that Fang Mu had raised in his previous life.
Plus, being raised by humans since it was little, the Aromatherapy Rabbit could understand the simple instructions of humans.
Fang Mu brought a Camellia flower the size of half a bowl’s mouth to the Aromatherapy Rabbit’s mouth and whispered softly.
“Rouge, they never understood what you wanted to eat, you must be starving!”
“Once you eat this camellia flower, your digestive tract will soon recover.”
“When your stomach is better, I’ll help give you a bath!”
Naming a Guardian Beast with a lower intelligence is the best way to form bonds with it, besides forming a contract.
The Aromatherapy Rabbit faintly understood what Fang Mu was trying to say.
Adding to the fact that Fang Mu just fed it some water and then kindly offered it food that was clearly beneficial, the Aromatherapy Rabbit gradually let down its guard against Fang Mu and began gnawing at the Red Jade Camellia with its small, triple-petaled mouth.
As a variant of the Flower Eating Rabbit species, the speed at which the Aromatherapy Rabbit ate was inherently slow.
Even with its damaged stomach, it could be estimated that finishing the Red Jade Camellia would still take at least an hour.
Fang Mu prepared to let the Aromatherapy Rabbit eat while he gathered Heartblood with the Needle Mosquitoes.
Fang Mu immediately summoned his Destiny Guardian, the Blood of Abundance.
An eerie blood-colored ancient well appeared in front of Fang Mu.
The ancient well was still squirming, brewing Blood Aged Wine.
Fang Mu keenly sensed that the aura of the Blood of Abundance had increased slightly from the last time he summoned it.
However, this increase was infinitesimal.
The way a Destiny Guardian beast levels up and the resources it needs are different from regular Guardian Beasts.
Apart from needing to use spiritual power to increase the maximum ranking of the Destiny Guardian beast, Beast Masters also have to find ways to promote their Destiny Guardian beast’s ranking.
The only difference between the current Blood of Abundance and the last time was the addition of 1800 milliliters of Fang Mu’s blood.

Could it be that the increase in the Blood of Abundance’s strength is related to the digestion of the blood he provided and the brewing of Blood Aged Wine!?
With that thought, Fang Mu didn’t know what to say for a moment.
While other people’s Guardian Beasts needed money to improve, his needed blood.
Fang Mu really didn’t know if this was his luck or his misfortune.
Fang Mu’s blood was poured directly into the well.
Now, there was some dark red blood accumulating in the stone trough on the well wall.
This dark red blood gave off a faint golden hue and didn’t look horrifying at all.
On the contrary, it carried a mysterious and grand ambiance.
It was like a key that could open the door to evolution.
Fang Mu knew that the dark red blood laced with gold in this stone trough was the Blood Aged Wine brewed by the Blood of Abundance.
Fang Mu extracted the Blood Aged Wine into a crystal bottle.
According to the scale on the crystal bottle, Fang Mu knew he currently had 462 milliliters of Blood Aged Wine.
Fang Mu had infused his blood into the Blood of Abundance at one in the afternoon.
It was now a quarter past ten at night.
On average, the Blood of Abundance could brew fifty milliliters of Blood Aged Wine in an hour.
Fang Mu had long decided to use the Blood of Abundance to first cultivate the Red Jade Camellia.
Now that he had over four hundred milliliters of Blood Aged Wine, Fang Mu didn’t hesitate to pour the Blood Aged Wine into the pot of the Red Jade Camellia.
Raising the Red Jade Camellia not only would accelerate Fang Mu’s blood production, but also allow the Red Jade Camellia to bloom more flowers to feed the Aromatherapy Rabbit.
After the Aromatherapy Rabbit consumed the Red Jade Camellia flowers, its Skill [Fragrance] could bring Fang Mu double the effectiveness of the Red Jade Camellia.
This was a matter that was profitable no matter how you looked at it.
Even if Fang Mu hasn’t produced a drop of Contracting Blood yet.
The Blood Aged Wine seemed to have some sort of magic.
As the roots of the Red Jade Camellia came into contact with the Blood Aged Wine, they absorbed the Blood Aged Wine at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The absorption rate was so fast that even as Fang Mu poured the Blood Aged Wine, the soil remained dry.
The changes in the Red Jade Mountain Tea plant were even more dramatic than the rate at which the roots were absorbing the Blood Aged Wine.
Tender branches continuously sprouted from the main stem.
As these branches grew, they quickly sprouted tender green leaves.
Upon reaching a certain size, the branches rapidly lignified.
Meanwhile, the once tender green leaves gradually transitioned to a deep green color.
Wherever three leaves intersected, a small flower bud quickly formed.
The bud, initially the size of a soybean, continuously swelled until it achieved the size of an egg.
Just the size of these buds was now comparable to the flowers the Red Jade Mountain Tea previously bloomed.
Fang Mu rapidly counted and found that there were twenty-five of these flower buds on the Red Jade Mountain Tea plant at that moment.
The first bud that grew had silently blossomed in a short time.
This gave off a faintly refreshing floral scent.
The fully bloomed flower was even larger than the mouth of a bowl.
The vibrant red color of the blossoms came into full view, blanketing the tree in bright red.
Suddenly, Fang Mu noticed that the roots of the Red Jade Mountain Tea were no longer absorbing the Blood Aged Wine he had been pouring.
Quickly, Fang Mu stopped pouring the Blood Aged Wine.
At this moment, elegant milky-white patterns were climbing up the vibrant red petals of the Red Jade Mountain Tea.
Upon seeing these milky-white patterns, Fang Mu’s heart jolted.
Could it be that the Red Jade Mountain Tea had evolved under the cultivation of his Blood Aged Wine?!
While searching for information on the Red Jade Mountain Tea in the school library,
Fang Mu learned that the Red Jade Mountain Tea didn’t require Spirit Material Guidance.
It was capable of evolving into a type of Floral Beast known as Coagulated Jade Camellia on its own.
The Coagulated Jade Camellia has more potent properties than the Red Jade Mountain Tea.
Apart from blood formation, it could also supplement depleted spiritual power and alleviate negative states of spirit.
The Coagulated Jade Camellia was considered to be the best evolutionary direction for the Red Jade Mountain Tea, it was a legendary Guardian Beast.
While the library resources had illustrations of Red Jade Mountain Tea, it didn’t record the images of the Coagulated Jade Camellia.
That indicated that the records on Coagulated Jade Camellia were somewhat incomplete.
Before his eyes, the unhealthy plant, originally smaller than two palms, had grown into a lush state of half a meter high.
This filled Fang Mu’s heart with a sense of awe.
It let Fang Mu vividly feel the splendor of life and the marvel of the World of Beast Masters.
Suddenly, as Fang Mu was immersed in this wonderful state, he felt a surge of spiritual power.
A green pattern started to form within it.
This pattern was faintly imbued with the Qi of the Wood Element.
Using his knowledge as a Beast Master, Fang Mu immediately realized he had formed a mysterious rune in a stroke of serendipity.
Fang Mu was stunned for a moment.
Had he really formed a mysterious rune?!
Since when could he grasp mysterious runes so easily?!
Didn’t understanding mysterious runes require spending a fortune and repeated visits to the Contemplation Hall to have a chance of comprehension?!
The mysterious rune in Fang Mu’s spiritual power carried the Qi of the Wood Element, which suggested that this rune could only be used on Wood property Guardian Beasts.
Fang Mu had not formed a contract with any Wood property beasts yet.
But forming a single mysterious rune meant he already had a significant lead over his peers on the path of the Beast Masters.
Even Hu Tao, who was the top-ranked student in the second year of Jinghai High School for Beast Masters in practical exams,
had only comprehended a single Earth Attribute mysterious rune.
On the matter of mysterious runes, Fang Mu was now on par with his top-ranked genius peers!
Fang Mu remembered Hu Tao once complained to him.
To comprehend the Earth Attribute rune at the Contemplation Hall, Hu Tao’s family spent nearly four hundred thousand Dragon Rising Coins.
This was achieved when Hu Tao had only contracted with her Destiny Guardian Beast and an Iron-winged Sparrow, and her spiritual power was far above average.
No matter whether comprehending the Wood Attribute mysterious rune was a coincidence, or because he possessed an intuition far above the norm,
Fang Mu had struck it rich!
