Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Zhan Heng: How Could You Be So Tired

The system pursed its lips. "Seeding doesn’t recommend buying this, Host. Why don’t you save up some points and buy the recipe for the Bloodline Purification Bath? This Bloodline Purification Potion is only 50 points per vial precisely because it is truly excruciating!

"How can I make you understand how much it hurts? It’s as painful as having every single cell in your body scraped with a knife."

Gu Weilan found the Bloodline Purification Bath recipe that Pomegranate Seed mentioned. A basic recipe was 30,000 points. The Mid level Bloodline Purification Bath recipe was 50,000 points, and the High Level Bloodline Purification Bath recipe was 100,000 points.

"The Basic Bloodline Purification Bath recipe will lose its effectiveness after about 30 to 100 uses. However, once you learn it, Host, you could even research alternative potions and formulate them into bath medicines. You can have your Beast Husband help you sell this potion.

"This way, collaborating with his company will deepen the bond between you, making him even more fiercely loyal to you. You’ll also earn plenty of Star Coins to spend.

"Seeding really suggests you buy this. It still hurts, but not nearly as much as the potion. The pain is only about a tenth of what the potion inflicts."

Gu Weilan couldn’t help but swallow hard. The system’s tone made it seem as though it was genuinely afraid she would die...

She wondered if, once she had enough points, she should find a Beast Husband to test the potion and see just how painful it actually was.

Pomegranate Seed couldn’t suppress a shudder. Its Host was an absolute menace!

It truly was a "blessing" for these Beast Husbands to have found its Host as their Female Master!

After explaining the side effects of the potion, the system finally answered Gu Weilan’s most important question. "Once your bloodline is purified, Host, the probability of giving birth to cubs with stronger bloodline talents will increase.

"Furthermore, if your Beast Husband’s bloodline is also purified, the chances of your offspring awakening an ancestral bloodline will be even higher.

"Before, you were focused on familiarizing yourself with the interstellar beast world, so Seeding didn’t bother you. After all, you needed to integrate into the interstellar beast world first before you could focus on researching anything else.

"Now that you’ve developed an interest in having cubs, Seeding can offer a suggestion. The bloodline of the Qilin Clan is naturally an ancestral bloodline, though its purity might not be very high.

"If you can get your Qilin Beast Husband to work for you, Host, you might also be able to appropriately elevate the overall bloodline of the entire Qilin Beast Clan."

Listening to Pomegranate Seed’s advice, Gu Weilan nodded to herself. "There’s no rush for that. I can share good things with them, but they have to prove they’re worthy of it.

"As for making them work for me, I’m already plotting that out.

"I plan to start by cultivating plants with lower contamination levels. After all, his family’s business revolves around nutrient solutions, as well as auxiliary industries like spirit calming agents. I’ll take it one step at a time."

Pomegranate Seed nodded eagerly, choosing not to interrupt Gu Weilan as she continued browsing the System Mall.

In the System Mall, the potion recipe section was filled with numerous options. Many of them were things Gu Weilan would never even consider buying. For example, a nutrient solution recipe... What would she ever need that for?

Of course, there were also many highly practical recipes available. These included the Mid level Incubation Chamber Cultivation Liquid, High-level Incubation Chamber Cultivation Liquid, Ancestor Reversion Culture Fluid, and Qualification Enhancement Culture Fluid.

Gu Weilan was confused. "Can’t these Cultivation Liquids be used together?"

Pomegranate Seed hurried to explain. "If you don’t have high expectations for the cubs, Host, you can just use the Basic Cultivation Liquid that Seeding gave you.

"However, if you want the cubs to have excellent aptitude and also earn a massive amount of points...

"You can choose to use the Basic Cultivation Liquid for the first month; the Mid level Cultivation Fluid for the second month; the High-grade Culture Fluid for the third month; the Ancestor Reversion Culture Fluid for the fourth and fifth months; and the Qualification Enhancement Culture Fluid for the sixth month."

Gu Weilan was still puzzled. "Wait... When other Beastmen use an Incubation Pod to nurture their cubs, it usually only takes four or five months before they can welcome the little ones. If I drag it out to over six months, nearly seven... Won’t that be weird? Don’t let me and my cubs get treated as anomalies!"

Pomegranate Seed fell silent for a moment. "In the Ancient Beast World, Qilin Beastmen actually had an incubation period of thirteen months. It’s only in the modern interstellar beast world, where the genes of various races have been altered, that the gestation time has shortened.

"No Beastman is going to capture you for vivisection. Rest assured, Host! While I can’t guarantee everything, with the aptitude Seeding has modified for you and the extremely low contamination level of the Cultivation Liquid, having the cubs stay in the Incubation Pod for an extra month or two won’t be a big issue.

"Aren’t there also reports of females from the Dragon Clan and Vermilion Bird Clan, who possess ancestral bloodlines, experiencing pregnancies that last up to six months and thirteen days? You’ll see if you search for it."

Gu Weilan ran a quick search and found that such news did indeed exist. Furthermore, genetics experts among the Beastmen on the Star Network had proposed a hypothesis that a longer incubation period might result in cubs with better aptitudes.

She checked the prices. The Basic Cultivation Liquid cost 500 points, meaning the system had effectively gifted her 500 points earlier.

The recipe for the Mid level Cultivation Fluid was 1,000 points. The recipe for the High-grade Culture Fluid was 5,000 points. The Ancestor Reversion Culture Fluid recipe cost 10,000 points. The Qualification Enhancement Culture Fluid recipe was 6,000 points.

"The recipes seem to be much more cost-effective than the finished products!" Gu Weilan couldn’t help but remark to Seeding.

Pomegranate Seed rolled its eyes. "It’s only the Cultivation Liquid recipes for nurturing cubs that are cheap. The other recipes aren’t cheap at all. For example, the recipe for a potion that improves a cub’s aptitude costs 100,000 points alone. The Talent Potion recipe for adult Beastmen costs 500,000 points.

"The main reason the Cultivation Liquid section is so heavily discounted is to encourage the birth of cubs with better aptitudes. Everything else is incredibly expensive."

Gu Weilan nodded in understanding. "Got it!"

Gu Weilan used her Wood Talent Skill to awaken the vitality of several plants, effectively reducing their contamination levels by seventy percent.

Slumping onto the sofa, she felt so utterly exhausted that she didn’t want to move a muscle. She looked at the packets of seeds resting by her legs and took a deep breath. She decided to wait until tomorrow to activate their vitality; otherwise, she’d be drained into a dried-up Beastman husk.

Following the method the system had taught her, she placed the partially purified plants and the compounding liquid into the Extraction Instruments and refocused on her classes.

Not long after, her afternoon classes came to an end.

Zhan Heng had timed it perfectly. The moment he pushed open the door, he saw that his Female Master looked slightly depleted of spiritual power.

He frowned. "How did you get so exhausted?"

Gu Weilan pointed at the Cultivation Liquid inside the Extraction Instrument nearby.

His phoenix eyes widened a fraction for a second before narrowing. He immediately closed the door and lowered his voice. "Is your Talent Skill the purification type?

"The contamination level displayed here is already down to 23. Normally, the Cultivation Liquid in an Incubation Pod sits around 40 or 50."

Gu Weilan waved her hand, speaking vaguely, "It’s somewhat related to purification, I guess..." She didn’t want to reveal the fact that she could awaken another Talent Skill upon reaching the Sixth Rank.

Zhan Heng walked straight up to her side and retrieved a vial of Spirit Recovery Agent from his Space Button.

As Gu Weilan drank the blue potion, a refreshing, icy sensation traveled from her esophagus all the way to the back of her head, completely revitalizing her.

She frowned slightly. "The Spirit Recovery Agent is too expensive..." A single vial cost 2.6 million Star Coins.

Zhan Heng playfully bit her earlobe. "It’s not expensive. This way, we can fully enjoy ourselves tonight. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be good if you lacked energy..."

Her ears burned scarlet, and she squeezed her eyes shut. Zhan Heng was supposed to be a Mo Qilin, right? But the things he said every day made him sound like a shameless, seductive fox!

She was absolutely speechless!

Gu Weilan let out a soft chuckle. "Very well then! I’m going to take a shower now. I’m not that hungry anyway, so how about we get down to business as soon as I’m done?"
