Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1073 - 1074 Classmate

"Xiao Shuang?"

As everyone was turning to leave, a surprised and uncertain voice rang out, Qi Xiaoshuang turned her head and said with some astonishment,

"Xiao An? What happened to you?"

Seeing Qi Xiaoshuang look back at the small, deep-brown creature behind her, the long-haired girl said with some embarrassment,

"Xiao Lulu isn’t feeling well, I was just about to take it for a check-up."

"A small potted plant creature? That’s a rather uncommon Spirit Beast."

Feng Yuan looked at the girl with some amazement, judging from her appearance, she must live around here. He had mentioned before, the area is filled with old neighborhoods, and he didn’t expect her to have this type of Spirit Beast.

The small potted plant creature might not have any combat power and its potential grade is only Common Level, but it’s quite rare because it has the ability to grow Spiritual Medicine of up to Good Level within its pot-like body. Consequently, it’s very popular among ordinary people. freёweɓnovel.com

Although it can’t be used for large-scale mass cultivation, there’s no need for that. Some Spiritual Medicines are only needed in small amounts and, given that those medicines are difficult to take care of and can be labor-intensive, they are pricey. A small potted plant creature series can replace humans in taking care of and cultivating these medicines.

Plus, Spiritual Medicines cared for by them, whether in terms of medicinal effects or growth, will reach the limits of their potential. Therefore, to most people, the small potted plant creatures are very useful Spirit Beasts, and for this reason, even though their population isn’t particularly small, they are still like the rarer Spirit Beasts, owned only by a few.

More often than not, they live with powerful beings or some major forces. There’s no help for it, the small potted plant creatures themselves don’t have much in the way of combat capabilities. Although everyone wants them to help with the cultivation and care of important and rare Spiritual Medicines, no one would be foolish enough to mistreat them.

The major forces can provide for them well, and naturally, they won’t just wander off into the wild. Or rather, the small potted plant creature line is easily satisfied.

"Right, this is my grandma’s Spirit Beast~"

The girl, Xiao An, said with a proud smile. It made sense, having a small potted plant creature indeed brings a lot of advantages in terms of Spiritual Medicine. Whether it’s cultivating rare medicines that one doesn’t need but can be used for exchanges, or preparing for potion making in the future, it’s a good choice.

Moreover, since small potted plant creatures can move, if one needs to leave for a long time, they can be brought along, eliminating the need to hire someone to take care of the Spiritual Medicines. Although that’s not much of a significance.

"It’s a pity there aren’t many small potted plant creatures in the wild..."

Feng Yuan said with some regret, his interest piqued upon seeing it. It’d be great to not have to personally tend to it and to have a mobile Spiritual Medicine cultivation site~

Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan and said unenthusiastically,

"You’re not thinking of getting a small potted plant creature, are you? What use would that have for you?"

"It’s for bringing along cultivated Spiritual Medicines~ Sooner or later, I’ll have to grow them anyway, right? Even if not for Spiritual Medicines, planting some food ingredients would be nice too, wouldn’t it?"

"Can’t Kong Qing do the planting? Is it necessary to get a few small potted plant creatures because of this?"

Agunas rolled his eyes and didn’t know what to say about Feng Yuan. While the small potted plant creature can speed up the growth of Common Level and lower Spiritual Medicines, doesn’t he already have that beside him? Compared to the power of the Time Series, the little speed boost from the small potted plant creature is nothing. Moreover, the creature itself is only the size of a small flowerpot, so it can only grow so much. The small space inside Kong Qing can fit many flowerpots even without considering additional space outside the villa, like balconies.

It’s obviously much better than carrying a small potted plant creature around. Plus, as much as the small potted creature is low-maintenance, it is still a Spirit Beast, and with his laissez-faire approach, could he really take good care of it?

"It seems so... But what exactly is going on with this small potted plant creature? It feels like its living conditions have been polluted."

Feng Yuan said as he poked the body of the small potted plant creature curiously. Although this is an old neighborhood, it isn’t to the extent of overflowing sewage and garbage everywhere. Aside from the dilapidation of the buildings, the visible areas are mostly cleaned up neatly, and there isn’t much trash on the ground.

However, noticing a few old ladies nearby scolding a young man for littering, Feng Yuan understood the situation. Hearing Feng Yuan, Qi Xiaoshuang paused before looking at him,

"Are you sure?"

"Of course. If it looks like this, it’s either malnutrition or environmental pollution. But look at the soil in its pot, it’s obviously quite fertile, which means it’s not malnourished, so it has to be due to pollution."

Seeing the wilting state of the small potted plant creature, Qi Xiaoshuang expressed her doubt,

"Couldn’t it be some other disease?"

"Anyway, that’s just how I feel. If you don’t believe me, I can’t help it. I guess even if you take it to the hospital, the result should be the same. Ask Agunas if you don’t believe me."

Seeing Feng Yuan looking towards him, Agunas flicked his tail and said,

"It is indeed affected by the environment, and it seems to be a problem with the sewage system where it lives."

"Sewage system? But wouldn’t somebody have noticed if that were the case?"

Qi Xiaoshuang looked at Xiao An, confused. As for doubting Agunas? She had more trust in Divine Beasts. Plus, Agunas wouldn’t spout nonsense just to go along with Feng Yuan, at least not over something minor like this.

"No, not at all. The drainage ditch under our building should be fine."

Xiao An, unaware of Agunas’s identity, doubted Agunas was only saying this to save Feng Yuan’s face. Shrugging his shoulders, Feng Yuan stood up and said,

"Let’s go then, go out and buy some stuff. It’s not a big issue anyway."

If there was truly any danger, he would naturally check it out. But for a minor pollution issue, he’d leave it for them to discover and resolve. It has nothing to do with him.

"What are you planning to buy?"

Xiao An looked at Qi Xiaoshuang curiously. There didn’t seem to be anything special for sale in their community. It wasn’t like those grocery or convenience stores; the stuff sold there was just cheap daily merchandise, hardly worth coming here for.

"Maybe some small ornaments for the room, I guess. I’m not even sure if the department store has that kind of thing."

Qi Xiaoshuang said uncertainly, having not paid much attention to whether the department store sold similar items. Although the store claimed to have everything, the variety might not be rich.

Hearing Qi Xiaoshuang speak, Xiao An appeared a bit startled, realizing that he had misunderstood, and with slightly flushed cheeks, he said,

"Oh, so that’s it. You might find more of those things in the Feiyun Market."

"Feiyun Market, huh? That place does have a lot of odds and ends..."

Seeing Qi Xiaoshuang’s slightly disdainful expression, Xiao An said with a bit of amusement,

"Not many brands make that sort of thing, unless it’s custom-made, but in that case..."

"Yeah, customized ornaments..."

It was as if Feng Yuan was reminded of something, and he looked over at Xiao Ji and the others. Qi Chen, unable to keep from scoffing, looked at Feng Yuan and said,

"You’re not planning to get some useless customized items again, are you?"

"What do you mean ’useless customized items’? Those are all good stuff!"

"Like that Xiao Ji toy that barely looks any different from a regular Eggshell Chicken doll?"

Qi Chen couldn’t help but burst his bubble. He always felt that Feng Yuan had been duped with that Xiao Ji toy, or rather, what’s the difference between pre-evolution Xiao Ji and an ordinary Eggshell Chicken?

"Who says there’s no difference! The posture, the body shape, and even the length of the fur..."

Listening to Feng Yuan detail the differences, Qi Chen silently looked at him, unable to see the distinctions himself. Yet, right there, Xiao Ji was nodding vigorously in agreement, and Agunas flicked his tail and said,

"Most people wouldn’t notice the things you’re talking about."

Maybe there really was a difference, but such minute details are beyond the average person’s observation, let alone when it’s all replicated in a toy.

"Ha ha, that’s not my concern— I can recognize it. If you put an ordinary Eggshell Chicken doll next to Xiao Ji’s doll, I can tell them apart just by looking—"

"That really is... a peculiar skill."

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly; although he knew him as someone who’s very familiar with Xiao Ji’s behaviors, it all still seemed odd to him...
