Gu Yueyuan said, "This Insect Food Pill not only has a unique taste but also contains specific ingredients that attract creatures that feed on insects. For example, during a wilderness expedition, this pill can be used as a special bait to help us capture certain types of Magic Beasts more easily. In an emergency, it can also distract an enemy's attention, buying us a valuable opportunity to escape."
Gu Yueyuan continued, "The formula for this Insect Food Pill is the result of my repeated experiments and adjustments. It's not just simple food. Through careful proportioning, the pill can release a unique aroma that is almost irresistible to insectivorous creatures. Moreover, I've added some special components, allowing it to enhance the physique of any creature that consumes it to a certain degree. Although the effect is limited, for some low-level Magic Beasts, this is enough to make them flock to it."
Gu Yueyuan continued, "These Insect Food Pills can also be mixed with poison or anesthetics. They might prove useful in your upcoming trial tasks. Even if you don't add anything extra, long-term consumption of this highly nutritious and energy-rich pill will greatly promote a creature's growth and evolution."
Gu Yueyuan looked at Fang Zhou and added, "For instance, there's a second-year student named Liu Diewu who is a Natural Druid Professional. She has tamed a few rare, avian Spirit Beasts, and all of them are very fond of this Insect Food Pill."
Upon hearing this, a spark lit up in Fang Zhou's eyes. He took out his long-unused Sealed Bone Bell from his Space Storage Capsule. Right in front of Gu Yueyuan, Fang Zhou gently shook the bell, summoning Gugu, the Pearl Bird he had traded from Senior Sister Liu Diewu. With the soft chime of the Sealed Bone Bell, the silhouette of the Pearl Bird quietly appeared.
This small, beautifully winged creature had been given a new lease on life under Senior Sister Liu Diewu's meticulous care. Now, responding to Fang Zhou's call, it landed lightly in the palm of his hand.
Fang Zhou tenderly cradled Gugu in his right palm while his left hand gently pinched an Insect Food Pill, slowly bringing it toward Gugu's curious beak. Gugu's feathers trembled faintly, and its body gave a slight twitch, seeming to instinctively sense the strange energy contained within the pill. It was a gift beneficial to life, a catalyst for growth.
Without a moment's hesitation, Gugu opened its sharp, delicate beak and eagerly swallowed the Insect Food Pill.
Through the special spiritual link established between the Sealed Bone Bell and Gugu, Fang Zhou could clearly feel the changes within the bird. It was an indescribable excitement and satisfaction—a surge of life's joy and vitality. This means Gu Yueyuan's Insect Food Pill isn't just daily food for Gugu, he understood. It's a powerful tonic that can significantly enhance its Life Energy and vitality, promoting the realization of its potential.
Fang Zhou gently stroked the Pearl Bird in his hand. Its small and exquisite form seemed particularly endearing in his palm. His gaze landed on Gu Yueyuan, a flicker of anticipation in his eyes. "Senior Brother, what a coincidence. I previously traded for this rare Pearl Bird from Senior Sister Liu Diewu. It's going to be my eyes in the sky. The only problem is, its strength is growing rather slowly; it's been stuck at the Middle Rank Apprentice level. If you have enough Insect Food Pills to help this Pearl Bird evolve to Upper Rank Apprentice, I'm willing to make a trade."
The Pearl Bird, Gugu, seemed to sense its master's expectation and let out a crisp chirp, as if expressing its own determination. Its round eyes sparkled with a lively light, and its feathers shimmered with a pearly luster under the light.
The Sealed Bone Bell in Fang Zhou's hand was a powerful Marvel. Although it could currently only seal creatures up to the Middle Rank Apprentice level, he had learned something from Instructor Su Xinyan's guidance: there was a secret—a supposed "backdoor"—hidden within the marvel's internal structure. Once Fang Zhou successfully took on the Alchemist sub-profession, he could attempt to reforge and upgrade it himself, transforming it into a powerful Marvel capable of sealing creatures up to the Upper Rank Apprentice level.
I'm not far from becoming an Upper Rank Apprentice myself, Fang Zhou thought. As long as I break through within the next month, I'll win my bet with Instructor Su Xinyan. This means I'll not only get the specialized Undead Mage Crystal Ball she used to use as a weapon, but more importantly, I'll also receive the heritage of the Alchemist sub-profession from her. I'm confident in my own talent, and with a little help from my attribute panel, I'm sure I can succeed in taking on the Alchemist sub-profession. In that case, modifying and upgrading the Sealed Bone Bell won't be difficult at all. It's only natural that I want Gugu's strength to keep pace with my own, so it can become my reliable companion in the sky.
Hearing Fang Zhou's words, Gu Yueyuan turned his gaze to the exquisite, emerald-green Pearl Bird in his hand. The small bird, with its lustrous feathers and extraordinary liveliness, hopped gently in Fang Zhou's palm like a living emerald.
