"Okay.” Lin Su naturally had no objections since his visit this time was to seek advice from Mu Yuxing on some formulation issues, and it was only proper to showcase his own formulation level first.
By now, having been a formulator for some time, Lin Su naturally possessed various supernatural resources needed for formulation. Initially, he had to rely on his parents to help purchase them, but later, he could even sustain himself by selling some excess energy liquid.
From the Space Ring, he took out various supernatural resources needed for a basic energy liquid and began to operate skilfully in front of Mu Yuxing. Soon, a portion of energy liquid, radiating dazzling purple light, appeared in his hands.
Seeing this, Mu Yuxing completely let go of the doubts in his mind and coughed lightly, “Very good, there’s nothing wrong with the formulation process, but now I have something to ask you.”
"In seven days, the Southern Region Four Cities Beast Taming Union is jointly hosting a major competition for formulators. Would you like to participate?”
"Ah?” Lin Su blinked, “There’s a competition for formulators?”
"Indeed,” Mu Yuxing nodded. “Only formulators under the age of twenty-five can participate. You can create high-grade energy liquids, so your strength is already sufficient to compete with other formulators. If you win the championship, you can choose any sixth-level supernatural resource.”
Although Mu Yuxing didn’t think Lin Su could win the championship, he still mentioned it briefly.
"Senior, is it easy for me to win the championship with my strength?” Lin Su scratched his head, unable to help but inquire.
Mu Yuxing’s mouth twitched slightly, “In the past, all champions could formulate perfect-grade energy liquids.”Understood, the hope of winning the championship is slim.
Lin Su decisively shook his head, “Forget it, then I won’t go.”
Sixth-level supernatural resources, just matching what Qiuqiu needs for evolution.
If it had been Lin Su from before, he would have agreed without hesitation to seize this slim chance and prepare for Qiuqiu’s evolution.
But the Lin Su of today already had other options, such as using contribution points to exchange for resources for evolution on the planet Lan Xing.
With the tens of thousands of contribution points soon to be credited to his account, he could then exchange exactly enough resources needed for Qiuqiu’s evolution.
Therefore, the appeal of the sixth-level supernatural resource had relatively diminished for Lin Su.
If his chances of winning the championship were greater, he might still have tried it, because who could refuse a sixth-level resource given for free?
But according to Mu Yuxing, all previous champions needed to formulate perfect-grade basic energy liquids, so Lin Su’s chances of winning were very slim.
With that being the case, Lin Su apparently had no reason to participate.
Who seriously competes in competitions?
After all, in Lin Su’s view, being a formulator was just a sideline, learned only to solve the issues of feeding his pet beast. With the entrance exam for Beast Tamer University just about a month away, he needed to spend more time training with Qiuqiu and really didn’t have much time to prepare for this unlikely formulators’ competition.
Hearing Lin Su’s response, Mu Yuxing displayed a trace of surprise on his face.
He knew that Lin Su’s pet beast was Xue Henqing.
Xue Henqing, evolving into Frost Flower Dream Shadow, precisely required a sixth-level supernatural resource. According to his expectations, even if Lin Su’s chances of winning were slim, he should still have been interested.
Yet Lin Su flatly refused.
Could it be that being able to win only with a perfect grade had discouraged him?
It wasn’t impossible…
Ah, if only I had been a bit more tactful.
Mu Yuxing regretted inwardly.
If Lin Su had been just a mediocre talent, Mu Yuxing would not have been so concerned, but Lin Su’s extraordinary gift, with proper nurturing, could allow him to formulate Emperor Level energy liquids within a few years and become a Coronet Level formulator. Naturally, he wanted to guide him toward a formulator’s path.
The formulators’ competition was a good opportunity to network with other formulators. Even without winning, it would significantly enhance his perspective on formulation. Lin Su participating once could yield considerable gains, so Mu Yuxing still hoped Lin Su would go and see for himself.
Thinking this, he coughed lightly again, “However, besides the champion’s reward, the top three and top five also have different rewards.”
Lin Su was not very interested, but still couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity, “What are the other rewards?”
"The top five formulators can obtain a fourth-tier supernatural resource, the Space Heart,” Mu Yuxing said slowly as he looked at Lin Su.
The Space Heart…
Lin Su’s face suddenly struggled.
Due to becoming a formulator, he had gained enough knowledge about the supernatural resources of this divine martial world.
The Space Heart came from a special type of exotic beast, which had yet to appear on Lanxing, making this resource unique to the divine martial world.
Being among the few resources directly usable by Beast Tamers themselves, a single Space Heart could drastically increase the speed of cultivating the Beast Taming Space through meditation.
The key to Lin Su’s dilemma also lies here.
With his current meditation speed, there was no way for him to break through to the third tier of the Beast Taming Space before the university entrance assessment, but if he had such a Space Heart in hand, the chances of achieving a third-tier breakthrough within a month were very high.
Once he reached the third-tier Beast Taming Space, he would have a second contract slot, and Qiuqiu’s growth rate within the Beast Taming Space would also improve.
This is a great item, and only the top five can get it. Does it feel like there’s a good chance?
Lin Su was somewhat swayed.
Mu Yuxing almost instantly caught the change in Lin Su’s expression.
Although he didn’t quite understand why level-six resources couldn’t tempt Lin Su, a Space Heart that only accelerated meditation speed for a while had swayed him, Mu Yuxing was secretly pleased.
Indeed, this kid didn’t want to come not because he lacked desire, but because he felt there was no incentive without the reward.
Understood, let’s raise the stakes.
Clearing his throat, Mu Yuxing continued, “The top three in the formulation contest will have the opportunity to enter the Nirvana Pool.”
"What is the Nirvana Pool?” Lin Su was slightly taken aback and asked subconsciously.
"It is a special place jointly owned by the Beast Taming Unions of the four cities in the southern region,” Mu Yuxing glanced at Lin Su, “It has the effect of promoting the evolution of pets. If the evolution process of a pet takes place in the Nirvana Pool, there is a certain probability of evolving into a more powerful species.”
!!!
Lin Su’s mouth fell open, and he couldn’t speak for a long time.
The Nirvana Pool!
Such a place actually exists.
He and Qin Nan were currently researching together and had gained access to more classified information.
But he could confirm that there was definitely no such special location on Blue Star.
If Qiuqiu could evolve inside the Nirvana Pool…
Lin Su couldn’t help but his heartbeat quickened.
Originally, it could evolve into a lower emperor species, but with the Nirvana Pool, could it possibly directly evolve into a medium or even higher emperor species?
But soon, Lin Su realized the limitations.
If Qiuqiu was to evolve in the Nirvana Pool, it meant that the evolution must be completed in the Divine Martial World.
And Qiuqiu completing the evolution in the Divine Martial World meant that its evolutionary resources must also be sourced from the Divine Martial World.
Having been traveling between the two worlds continuously, Lin Su had gained a deeper understanding of the traversal rules.
For now, he could not bring any supernatural resources back and forth between the two worlds, as these resources could not enter the Beast Taming Space.
The Beast Taming Space is not a storage space; it cannot contain anything other than pets, even if Qiuqiu carried resources, only Qiuqiu itself would enter the Beast Taming Space.
The only exception could be a pet with the skill to store objects in a different space.
But Qiuqiu couldn’t learn such a skilled technique.
Therefore, Qiuqiu could not bring the level-six resources from Blue Star to the Divine Martial World for evolution.
That is to say, if he really wanted Qiuqiu to use the Nirvana Pool for evolution in the Divine Martial World, the top three would not be enough.
He must obtain the level-six resource that comes with first place.
To make Qiuqiu’s evolutionary type stronger, Lin Su decided he must give it a try.
"Senior, can a perfect grade win the championship?” he asked through gritted teeth.
"It’s not guaranteed, but historically that has mostly been the case,” Mu Yuxing nodded.
Alright, here goes!
It’s just the perfect grade. He could already create several types of energy liquids close to perfect grade.
With one week left, grinding it out was still hopeful.
"This competition, I, Lin Su, cannot shirk!”
