"It helped us, and Golden Yuanbao was able to evolve because of it. It's a pity I don't have the ability to change its current situation, nor can I take it out of the Secret Realm."

Ruan Qinghe raised her hand and stroked her face, "Xiao Xi, you don't have the ability now, but that doesn't mean you won't have it in the future, does it?"

"Our Xiao Xi is so amazing."

"And who knows, maybe you and that little Ice Soul Lynx are fated, and you'll see each other again soon?"

Mingxi froze.

Fate?

Speaking of fate, one can't help but think of the Phantom Color Key.

The relationship between Beast Tamers and the Transcendent creatures they summon can be said to be entirely dependent on fate.

Just like her and Golden Yuanbao, she had no money and it had no life, and by chance, they were connected by a thread of fate across a thousand miles.

So, is it possible for the Phantom Color Key to summon the little Ice Soul Lynx from the Abyss Secret Realm as well?

As soon as Mingxi thought this, she immediately denied it in her heart.

The Phantom Color Key is not a specific contract; the chance of randomly summoning the little Ice Soul Lynx is absolutely lower than winning the grand prize in the lottery.

It's probably less than one in a billion.

Then is there a way to make the Phantom Color Key summon a specific Transcendent creature?

This is really hard to say.

As the saying goes, there is nothing difficult in the world if you are willing to spend money.

How special the Phantom Color Key is, ordinary Beast Tamers might not be able to tell, only thinking it's a huge money pit.

But Mingxi actually realized the huge room for manipulation within the Phantom Color Key itself when she first awakened.

For example, can the Phantom Color Key's summoning be changed from random to specific under human interference?

And what about the upper limit of the Transcendent creature's level summoned by the Phantom Color Key?

Human society is constantly progressing, and Beast Taming civilization has developed for thousands of years. Mingxi doesn't believe that no one has noticed these things.

It's very likely that someone has already researched some related tools.

She doesn't know, and she can't access them, simply because her social class is too low, she's ignorant, and her social circle is too narrow.

After all, some things are truly not for ordinary people at the bottom to know.

For example, information about the Abyss Secret Realm and Golden Yuanbao's hometown, if it weren't for Fu Ting, it would probably take her ages to find out on her own.

Sometimes, this world is very realistic; only when you stand at the very peak will many truths be laid bare before your eyes.

"Xiao Xi? Xiao Xi? What are you thinking about?"

Mingxi came back to her senses, "Grandma, I'm fine. I'll continue telling you..."

Finally, she talked about visiting the Fu Family and mentioned the high school entrance exam. Ruan Qinghe expressed her support without hesitation.

It wasn't that she had a relative's filter for her granddaughter; she also felt that what the head of the Fu Family analyzed was very correct: staying at Haizhou Third Middle School would indeed hinder her granddaughter's development.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot that Grandpa Fu gave me a welcome gift. He told me to open it when I got home."

She quickly took the gift box out of her spatial button.

The small square box looked very common from the outside, just a simple style gift box.

It felt heavy in her hand, weighing about as much as an apple.

"What is it?"

Ruan Qinghe watched curiously as Mingxi opened the lid.

Inside the box was a colorful pearl the size of a Xinjiang red date, but it didn't have the smooth texture of a pearl; its surface was somewhat uneven, and it felt a bit like a bouncy ball.

"What is this?"

Mingxi was bewildered, once again entering a knowledge blind spot.

Ruan Qinghe's pupils, however, contracted rapidly. After the shock, there was hesitant uncertainty, and after a while, she said, "...This seems to be a talent primordial nucleus."

Mingxi looked up, "Grandma, what is a talent primordial nucleus?"

She wasn't surprised that her Grandma recognized it, after all, her Grandpa and her father were both Beast Tamers when they were alive. It was only natural for her Grandma to recognize some good things from what she had heard and seen.

"A talent primordial nucleus is a material that can increase the talent of Transcendent creatures, and it's extremely, extremely rare.

Actually, I don't know much either. Your Grandpa had a friend who accidentally obtained one before, and he showed me a picture of it, that's how I knew such a thing existed.

But too much time has passed, and that photo wasn't saved, so I'm not very sure if the one in your hand is really a talent primordial nucleus."

Most likely it is.

Mingxi thought to herself.

She switched her personal terminal function and began to search for "talent primordial nucleus" online.

Soon, relevant information appeared.

"【talent primordial nucleus, a rare material that has a chance to enhance the talent of Transcendent creatures.】"

"【Generally, the larger the primordial nucleus, the higher the chance of improvement, but even a fist-sized talent [N O V E L I G H T] primordial nucleus has only a less than 0.5% chance.】"

"【talent primordial nucleus is priceless and has no market; whether you can obtain it depends entirely on strength and opportunity.】"

Mingxi checked again and confirmed that the talent primordial nucleus could be used at any stage of a pet beast, without restriction on strength level, but some people mentioned that it is best used with activation fluid.

activation fluid is not a natural material; it is a medicinal liquid made by cultivators and pharmacists. Its purpose is to further activate and catalyze the effects of certain special materials, and it is a relatively scarce medicinal item.

Mingxi picked up the colorful pearl in the box. There weren't many pictures of the talent primordial nucleus online, but there were many descriptions.

So she could basically confirm that this 'pearl' Fu Ting gave her was a talent primordial nucleus, and judging by its volume and weight, it was clearly a high-quality talent primordial nucleus.

Its value is immeasurable.

A big shot is a big shot; a welcome gift from him is a grand gesture.

That can of wine immortal honey was definitely worth it!

"Xiao Xi, this gift is too valuable. Grandma won't ask you to return it, but we can't just accept it with a clear conscience.

In the future, if there's a need, take good care of your senior, surnamed Fu."

Ruan Qinghe clearly understood the importance of resources for a Beast Tamers. Why can wealthy and powerful families cultivate more and better Beast Tamers?

Is it really because of talent?

Perhaps not necessarily.

Most of it is accumulated through resources.

But their family's situation couldn't provide Mingxi with any support; her granddaughter could only rely on herself.

So Ruan Qinghe wouldn't meddle in her granddaughter's social life.

But the principles still needed to be taught properly.

"Grandma, I understand."

Ruan Qinghe lovingly stroked her granddaughter's small face, "Alright, look at your pale little face, you must have been exhausted these past few days. Go to bed early tonight, don't read until the middle of the night again. Study should also have a balance of work and rest."

There's a kind of tiredness called 'your Grandma thinks you're tired.'

Mingxi didn't argue. It was indeed a bit late, almost ten o'clock at night.

She had already used up her Time Realm training duration for the day by pretending to go to the kitchen for water.

So resting now wasn't a big problem.

Golden Yuanbao's current size was more than twice what it was before; even when it folded its wings, it took up quite a bit of space.

It definitely couldn't perch at Mingxi's bedside like before, so Mingxi tidied up the double sofa in her bedroom.

This sofa could be laid flat into a single bed.

Mingxi then spread a thick, soft quilt on it and placed a few cute toys, making it Golden Yuanbao's temporary little nest.

"Golden Yuanbao, you'll have to bear with it for a while. Once I get into high school, we'll buy a bigger house."
