Chapter 105: Chapter 105: The Dragon Beast’s Advancement Path

"Looking to buy a Battle Pet?"

The moment Andre stepped through the doors of the Servant Beast Hall, several people surrounded him, sizing him up and relentlessly promoting the Battle Pets they had on hand.

Andre waved them away and walked straight to the counter.

"Ah!" The old man behind the counter yawned as he watched Andre approach.

"Do you have any Potions for enhancing a Battle Pet’s Bloodline?"

Andre asked the old man.

"What species?" The old man sat up straight, looking at Andre.

"A Dragon Beast." When those two words left Andre’s lips, the old man’s eyes immediately widened.

"A Dragon Beast? Young man, do you have any idea how many years it’s been since anyone at the academy has had a Dragon Beast as a Battle Pet?"

The old man stared seriously at Andre, and Andre nodded back just as seriously.

He understood what the old man was implying—a warning that his Dragon Beast might be a lesser creature disguised by Witchcraft.

"I got it in a Secret Realm!"

After Andre explained Seven Rings’ origin, an expression of understanding dawned on the old man’s face. He then began to search for Magic Plants and other related materials for enhancing a Dragon Beast’s Bloodline.

"Which enhancement route are you planning to follow?"

the old man asked as he searched.

"Route?" Andre froze when he heard the question.

"You haven’t chosen a route?"

The old man turned back, looking at Andre in confusion.

"There are different routes?" Andre asked, a flicker of doubt crossing his mind at the old man’s reaction.

"Of course. The Dragon Beast you have is an Impure-blood Dragon Beast, correct?"

"The enhancement route for an Impure-blood Dragon Beast is: Impure-blood Dragon Beast, Mixed-blood Dragon Beast, Pure-blooded Dragon Beast, Giant Dragon, and finally, Pure-blooded Giant Dragon."

"If you want to enhance its Bloodline, you must choose one of the Bloodlines within the Dragon Beast and focus on cultivating it as the primary one."

"During this cultivation process, you have to let this primary Bloodline devour the others. As this progresses, the Impure-blood Dragon Beast will gradually become a Mixed-blood Dragon Beast."

"After that, you repeat the process. You have the main Bloodline continue to devour the others until only a single Giant Dragon Bloodline remains. At that point, it becomes a Pure-blooded Dragon Beast."

"Then, it will obtain its true name from the Dragon Race. After that, it’s a matter of its transformation into a Pure-blooded Giant Dragon.

"You didn’t decide on this before you came?"

The old man looked at Andre, his eyes filled with bewilderment.

Andre shook his head in response to the old man’s questioning.

"I have a Dragon Transformation Fruit Tree. My plan is to let it evolve into a Pure-blooded Dragon Beast first, then use a Dragon Transformation Fruit to elevate it directly into a Pure-blooded Giant Dragon.

Andre explained his own solution.

When the old man heard what Andre said, his eyes widened and his jaw nearly hit the floor.

"What a massive investment!" The old man stared at Andre, and only after seeing he was serious did he manage to close his mouth.

"A Dragon Transformation Fruit can elevate an Impure-blood Dragon Beast’s Bloodline all the way to a Pure-blooded Giant Dragon, but the cost is immense. Are you really willing to part with it?"

The old man looked at Andre with a complicated expression.

Andre nodded without the slightest hesitation.

"I found this Dragon Transformation Fruit Tree at the same time I found the Battle Pet. Of course I’m willing."

"Who is your teacher?" Hearing this, the old man lowered his head and resumed his search for the Magic Plants and materials.

"I have two teachers. One is Radak, and the other is Krell!"

"Vice Dean Krell." The old man shuddered upon hearing the name.

"Radak is your teacher, too?"

The old man whipped his head around to look at Andre. Andre nodded.

"Then you should be well-versed in this subject, shouldn’t you?"

the old man asked, confused.

"My Impure-blood Dragon Beast was found in a Secret Realm. My teacher examined it and said it was the result of inbreeding."

"So, that problem must be solved before I can move on to anything else. My plan is to enhance its Bloodline first, and then tackle the main issue."

"Otherwise, it could easily lead to hereditary problems."

Andre explained his proposed solution for the problems with Seven Rings to the old man.

After hearing Andre’s plan, the old man thought for a moment before nodding.

"A very good idea. By enhancing the Bloodline, you’ll improve the Dragon Beast’s physical constitution. That way, even if you fail, its enhanced physique will minimize the negative consequences."

The old man went to the back and started searching for the materials.

A short while later, the old man returned with a pile of items and placed them on the counter.

"How many do you want to buy? There’s the regular version, the deluxe version, and the luxury version!"

At that moment, a gleam like Gold Coins shone in the old man’s eyes.

"What are the prices?" Andre took a deep breath. ’I’m probably going to get fleeced today.’

’But it’s just for this one time. After I get these materials, I can look for them myself at the market, or post a high-priced request at the Task Hall.’

"For the regular version, it’s one hundred Magic Stones per portion. The deluxe version is also one hundred Magic Stones. The luxury version is ten thousand Magic Stones per portion."

the old man said, chuckling as he looked at Andre.

"Is the deluxe version priced in Medium Magic Stones?"

Andre couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath when he heard the price.

"Yes, and the luxury version is also in Medium Magic Stones!" the old man confirmed with a nod.

"I’ll take 10 portions!" Andre said after a moment’s thought.

"Ten portions?" A flash of surprise crossed the old man’s face.

He had expected Andre to buy two or three portions, but he never thought Andre would ask for ten right off the bat.

"What’s wrong? Are they not for sale?"

Andre looked at the old man in confusion. ’A huge sale just landed in his lap, so why the strange attitude?’

"No, it’s not that. It’s just that the quantity you’re asking for is quite large. I’ll need some time to gather it all for you."

The old man shook his head and immediately began searching for Andre’s order.

Soon, bag after bag of items was brought out by the old man and placed on the counter in front of Andre.

Andre blinked as he looked at all the items. ’Does enhancing a Magical Beast’s Bloodline really require this many materials?’

"Everything’s here. This is the formula.

The old man looked at Andre and handed him a Memory Crystal. Andre nodded and put everything away.

Then, he took out 1,000 Medium Magic Stones and placed them on the counter.

When the Magic Stones were piled up on the counter like a small mountain, everyone in the Servant Beast Hall turned to stare at this one counter.

"What a waste. A thousand Medium Magic Stones could buy several Battle Pets. Against a tough enemy, you could just send those Battle Pets in one after another to wear down the enemy’s Power."

Someone shook their head repeatedly, watching Andre spend such a fortune just to buy ten portions of materials for enhancing a Magical Beast’s Bloodline.

In their eyes, what Andre was doing was simply too extravagant.

"What kind of Magical Beast must it be to deserve this kind of treatment?"
