When Lin Chen arrived at the Mentor Hall, the herbs were not yet prepared to go into the pot.
The reason Lin Chen came was entirely to verify his own idea...
Whether this Calamity-Devouring Beast was really a Pixiu.
If even 1% of the hidden bloodline can make it evolve, then it's guaranteed for sure.
Of course, saying it's 1%, the probability is actually much higher, after all, Bai Ling was using top-tier evolution materials, coupled with having Liu Gu as a catalyst master.
Bai Ling was still comforting the Calamity-Devouring Beast, assuring it that even if its evolution failed, she wouldn't despise it.
In fact, the success rate of the Calamity-Devouring Beast's evolution wasn't low, so it had evolved quite a few times, but this Spirit Beast evolving was like it hadn't evolved at all, the skill remained the same.
"I've heard about your matter." Liu Gu said to Lin Chen while working: "I've asked the mentors from the ranking competition area to change your permissions, now your senior brothers and sisters in higher grades can also challenge you."
Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
For a Spirit Beast to become better, it's not just about cultivation, it also needs to enhance its animal nature.
Animals' reaction to danger is stronger than humans, but their learning ability is much worse, precisely because of this, they need more battle opportunities.
As they were speaking, Liu Gu finally finished fiddling with the herbs and then prepared to start boiling the big cauldron.
"Go in." Liu Gu said to the Calamity-Devouring Beast.
The Calamity-Devouring Beast didn't hesitate, it jumped straight in.
Then Liu Gu began summoning his Spirit Beasts, the water attribute one was a Goldfish, and the wood attribute was a Trumpet Flower.
The latter wasn't remarkable, but the former was different.
It is rumored that this kind of Spirit Beast of his has dragon blood in it.
Understandably so, for Liu Gu to be a mentor in a place like Spirit Academy, naturally, he isn't simple.
Although a catalyst master is valuable, the status of a Spirit Academy mentor is even more prestigious.
After the Calamity-Devouring Beast went in, the Goldfish spat out a mouthful of golden water, followed by the wood attribute Flower Spirit immediately dispersing pollen.
The Calamity-Devouring Beast's eyes were wide open, it seemed not sleepy at all....
Five or six hours passed, and it was still like this.
"Could something have gone wrong?" Lin Chen asked.
These words made Liu Gu a little uncertain.
Bai Ling was very worried.
Finally, in the eighth hour, the Calamity-Devouring Beast finally fell asleep.
Liu Gu, sweating profusely, looked at Lin Chen and said, "As your mentor, I say this is an exception, do you believe it?"
"...."
Lin Chen was speechless.
He had already said that the reason he came to watch wasn't to evaluate this mentor, why wouldn't Liu Gu believe him?
At this moment, Lin Chen also felt somewhat unsure...
It seemed that people around him always had some misunderstandings about him.
Was this his problem?
....
Lin Chen initially thought that after boiling the soup for eight hours, the time for evolution and cocoon formation would be very long, but he didn't expect that just three days after he returned, the Big White Bear informed him that it had cocooned.
"So fast..." Lin Chen was surprised.
Generally speaking, the faster the cocooning, the weaker the talent.
Because it absorbed fewer things.
But it also represented one thing:
The evolution was likely to fail.
After another two days, Lin Chen went to the Mentor Hall again and found there were signs of the chrysalis breaking.
"Most likely, it's gone." Privately, Liu Gu also said this to Lin Chen.
He didn't dare to tell Bai Ling, fearing it would upset her.
Lin Chen nodded, actually, he interacted with Bai Ling quite a bit and began to understand her personality.
This girl appeared weak on the outside but might be stronger than many inside.
Her desires were simple, only wishing for herself and those around her, human and beast alike, to be safe, healthy, and unafflicted.
As for world domination, it wasn't in her range of considerations.
After all, she was someone tormented by illness for eighteen years.
For her life, survival was the primary goal of effort.
After another two days, it was finally time for the chrysalis to break, Lin Chen squatted beside it, though he had no high hopes in his heart.
The Calamity-Devouring Beast's chrysalis broke without much commotion, the shell seemed to gradually fall off rather than burst open like Xiaobai's successful evolution.
Liu Gu and Lin Chen exchanged a glance, the answer already written in their eyes.
But Bai Ling's pupils were still full of spirit...
She certainly hoped the Calamity-Devouring Beast could successfully evolve.
But it didn't matter if it didn't evolve, it was still her beloved Xiu Xiu.
Finally, the Calamity-Devouring Beast first stuck out its short legs, it actually kicked the chrysalis open with its legs, making everyone both laugh and cry.
Wait!
These legs....
Lin Chen and Liu Gu's pupils shrank, both noticed the change.
The Calamity-Devouring Beast's legs seemed longer?
At this moment, the appearance of the Calamity-Devouring Beast underwent quite a change, its skin turned platinum, and its belly was much bigger than before.
As for its mouth, it was even larger.
"Ev... evolved successfully?"
Lin Chen stood frozen, recalling the 1% probability, at this moment, stupefied, swallowing large gulps of saliva.
As a data analyst, at this moment doubting life a bit.

Celestial Capital
National Master's Institute
Zhang Jin gently knocked on the door, waited three seconds, heard a dry cough from inside, and then knocked and entered.
This was the courtyard where Zhong Nan lived.
Looking at the layout of the courtyard, it was quite particular, designed by the best feng shui masters of the Cangling Ancient Country...
However, Zhong Nan often told him that it was useless.
His life is in the hands of the heavens.
When it's time to go, no one can stop it.
Upon reaching the corridor of the courtyard, he saw Zhong Nan sitting on a chair, Zhang Jin cupped his hands and said, "Teacher."
"You're back, cough cough~~"
Zhong Nan coughed again, his health was deteriorating, and now he looked like a withered branch, extremely thin, with even more spots on his face.
