Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: The Ancient Jade Is Missing

At this moment, Ye Bai's eyes were comparable to some kind of red-eye disease.

However, the blood-red eyes returned to normal after a few seconds, turning into deep, dark pupils.

He familiarly touched the Ancient Jade at his chest, the heirloom of the Ye Family.

Where the heck did my huge Ancient Jade go?

The rope tied to the Ancient Jade was as thick as a hemp stick; it couldn't be stolen easily.

Combining the oddity of his eyes, Ye Bai easily associated the heart-shaped Ancient Jade with the legendary Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart.

Although he didn't know what level this treasure was, Ye Bai guessed it was at least above legendary.

This great fortune finally fell upon him.

Ye Bai's heart was pounding, and he felt a cool sensation flowing from his heart to his eyes.

The stinging feeling from using the Eye of Insight just now vanished instantly.

"No wonder, I understand why Li Weiyang was so cautious using the Eye of Insight."

"It's probably like that ninja using it too much leading to blindness."

"It must involve a problem of pupil power and how to replenish it."

"But the Flame Country Alliance, having awakened the Eye of Insight, should have countermeasures."

"Although the Eye of Insight is extremely rare in talent, I've heard that the principal of Imperial University, Duan Tao, has awakened with this talent."

"He's been researching it for many years, probably developing medication to relieve eye discomfort."

Ye Bai murmured to himself.

He glanced at the Lightning Cat in the cardboard box, curling up in the corner, shivering.

Its fur clung tightly to its body, still covered with clear, transparent amniotic fluid, eyes not yet opened.

"This Lightning Cat should be temporarily housed in the Cultivation House."

"Big Gray, although this Lightning Cat was abandoned, it doesn't have major issues. We can find a suitable Pet Beast Master to adopt it."

"When I did the physical check on the Lightning Cat earlier, I've already uploaded its data."

"If a Pet Beast Master comes to adopt this Lightning Cat, don't be sad about it."

Big Gray, upon hearing Ye Bai's words, felt a little disappointed, holding the Lightning Cat in its palm like it was a rare treasure.

It had an instinct to bring Pet Beasts back to the Cultivation House, especially liking furry things.

This Lightning Cat must be its favorite.

Seeing Big Gray's expression, Ye Bai felt a bit reluctant, patting Big Gray's shoulder.

"Big Gray, don't worry, we'll find it a dependable home."

"I have a good eye for people; it won't be bad."

"By the way, let me introduce my newly contracted partner—the Thousand-Change Silkworm."

Pure white as jade, the one-meter-tall Thousand-Change Silkworm emerged from Ye Bai's Pet Beast Space.

"Thousand-Change Silkworm, this is Big Gray, whom I consider part of my family; the rest are Pet Beasts in the shop."

Ye Bai never planned to hide the presence of the Thousand-Change Silkworm; otherwise, it might later be explained as being a scheming boy.

Nonetheless, Ye Bai instinctively used the Eye of Insight on the Thousand-Change Silkworm.

[Pet Beast Name: Thousand-Change Silkworm]

[Level: lv2 (Tier One, Level Two)]

[Skills: Impact, Silk Spitting, Hardening]

[Evolution path: Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm ???]

"How strange, the Thousand-Change Silkworm evolves into a Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm, oh my!"

"Even the Lightning Cat has two evolution paths."

"Such a rare Pet Beast's evolution path is so singular; that's not right!"

"That's just not right!"

"Could it be I got a castrated version of the Eye of Insight? No, the Intelligence System indicates it's a copied Eye of Insight, theoretically a 100% copy."

"I'll check in the library later to find out what kind of talent the Eye of Insight truly is."

"What's its limit, to avoid misinterpretation by others."

Ye Bai only heard others touting the greatness of the Eye of Insight's talent; now it seems just so-so.

It's not as great as his Intelligence System, even knowing the headmaster's baldness news.

The Thousand-Change Silkworm summoned from Ye Bai's Pet Beast Space, full of energy after a nice nap, curiously observed the surrounding Pet Beasts.

Soon after, the Thousand-Change Silkworm got along well with the surrounding Pet Beasts, as if it had social prowess, Big Gray smiling as it watched the silkworm, liking the lively atmosphere of the Cultivation House.

Ye Bai's store practices a Buddhist style of selling, all Pet Beasts in the shop have documentation, clearly listing their flaws.

He insists that Pet Beasts and Pet Beast Masters must have a mutual affinity, or else he won't let the Pet Beasts leave.

The most sold Pet Beast in Ye Bai's shop is the Sunflower; its attribute is wood, plant-type Pet Beast, visually resembling a large sunflower.

It only needs some water and sunlight to survive, making it a very easy-to-raise plant-type Pet Beast.

The Frenzy Potion sold in Ye Bai's shop, whose ingredient includes the leaves of the Sunflower.

Additionally, the Sunflower nectar is a moderately precious nourishing supplement.

Ye Bai's yard has a Sunflower as large as a millstone.

It is the only Tier Two Pet Beast in the store, and all Sunflowers in the shop are its progeny.

That evening.

Just past midnight.

Ye Bai saw lines of text appear on his screen.

Daily Intelligence Update.

[1. According to scientific studies, placing a Sunstone at the root of a Sunflower has a certain probability of evolving it into a Sunflower King. The higher the quality of the Sunstone, the greater the probability of a Sunflower King emerging.]

[2. Today at 5:45 PM, at Lottery Welfare Station No. 24785, the only 10-yuan scratch card won a million-dollar jackpot.]

[3. Gray Night Dragon Cats have evolution paths; according to scientific research, they require Thunder Attribute Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, like the Thunder Core and Thunder Origin, to evolve into Thunderbolt Dragon Cats.]

[4. A Tier Three peak Pig-Mother Dragon in Jiaying City plans to evolve into a Flood Dragon in three months, activating its Dragon Bloodline to advance to Tier Four.]

[5. Dragon Soar Auction will auction a piece of ore, someone sliced a palm-sized Sun Crystal from the ore's scrap edge.]

Indeed, this Intelligence System refreshes at midnight daily.

Ye Bai focused mainly on items two and three.

The former could solve his current financial issues, the latter can address Big Gray's evolution problem.

For some reason, Big Gray has become increasingly drowsy, now sleeping about twelve hours daily.

The treatment device can't detect any issues with Big Gray.

Yet Ye Bai faintly feels something's off with Big Gray, linking it to Big Gray escaping from a private lab, Ye Bai suspects there's something wrong with its body.

Some Pet Beasts, when their life nears its end, sleep to minimize consumption.

Big Gray is Ye Bai's family who he sees every day; Ye Bai doesn't want to watch Big Gray develop health issues.

So Ye Bai was determined to acquire the talent of the Eye of Insight, hoping to diagnose Big Gray's condition.

However, Ye Bai's Eye of Insight doesn't work on Big Gray; in Ye Bai's eyes, Big Gray is just a mist, revealing nothing.

Ye Bai's eyes felt like they were burned by a strong light, leading to temporary blindness, which took a while to recover.

Who knows if the Tier Five treasure, the Seed of Life, will change Big Gray's current situation.

Shen Mountain Middle School selects Resource Boxes, starting from the first place. Last semester, he was first, the first to choose a Resource Box, so his chance of getting the Resource Box No. 38 is very high.
