Without a doubt, Thorn Grass ignored him and continued to absorb the Wood Spirit Stone.
It was as happy as a child who had found candy. Surprise and excitement were even transmitted to Su Yi.
Su Yi was dumbfounded. He stood there for a long time, not knowing how to respond.
'That's over a million!'
'You have no idea what more than a million dollars means to a needy student.'
It was too extravagant to eat it directly!
It wasn't that he couldn't bear to use it, but the Thorn Grass' spiritual energy level was still very low. Even if it wanted to grow faster, there was no need to absorb such high-end things. The Vegetation Essence Fruits in the shop that were priced at tens of thousands were enough.
"Be good. You're still young. Don't absorb the remaining spiritual energy. We'll take it slow. Sell it for more Energy Water and Vegetation Essence Fruits."
Su Yi was still trying to persuade it.
If the Thorn Grass stopped absorbing now, the remaining spiritual energy in the Wood Spirit Stone could still be sold for hundreds of thousands.
Unfortunately, Thorn Grass was completely immersed in the feast and turned a deaf ear to his persuasion.
"Ah, never mind. You can absorb it all if you like. It's not wasted anyway."
Su Yi sighed, resigned to his fate.
After a pause, he muttered to himself, "Actually, from another perspective, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. After absorbing a piece of Wood Spirit Stone, the spiritual energy level of the Thorn Grass will definitely increase greatly. It might even be able to advance to the six-star apprentice level in one go and meet the requirements for demonization. Compared to a pet with king-level potential, a piece of Wood Spirit Stone is nothing. A pet with king-level potential should enjoy such treatment!"
He tried to reassure himself, but his blood pressure rose uncontrollably.
…
The next morning, the students who were assigned to the same dormitory as him woke up one after another.
"Damn, why are you like this? Didn't you sleep last night?"
His sleepy roommates got up and immediately noticed Su Yi, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed with panda eyes. They were shocked.
"I did, but not completely."
Su Yi gave him a friendly smile.
The roommate shivered for some reason. Then, he thought of something and comforted him. "Is it because of the Thorn Grass? When I saw the message you sent in the group yesterday, I thought you didn't care. Sigh, look on the bright side. Maybe it can really grow to the elite level in the future?"
"Thank you."
Su Yi was still smiling.
His roommate patted him sympathetically on the shoulder and went to wash up without another word.
At that moment, the Thorn Grass crept along the wall and in through the window.
That's right. It just came back.
The Wood Spirit Stone contained too much spiritual energy. It took it an entire night to finish absorbing it!
Clearly, this little guy also realized that it had made a mistake. After climbing in, it looked very timid, afraid that it would anger Su Yi.
Seeing it like this, most of the anger in Su Yi's heart dissipated. He shook his head and said, "There's no need to pretend to be pitiful. Although your actions were very wrong, I promised you that I would provide you with Wood Spirit Stones. This time, I'll take it as fulfilling my promise in advance."
Eh?
Thorn Grass was very surprised.
Although Su Yi was not by its side last night, when it was absorbing the Wood Spirit Stone, it could clearly feel Su Yi's heartache through telepathy.
For this reason, it was already prepared to bear Su Yi's anger. However, it did not expect its master to be so casual and did not intend to reprimand it!
"Is that strange?"
Su Yi smiled. "Don't forget, you're my pet now and my closest companion. If it weren't for the fact that the conditions don't allow it, let alone a Wood Spirit Stone, so long as it can make you happy, so what if it's a thousand or ten thousand yuan apiece? Let me officially introduce myself. My name is Su Yi, and I'm your Beast Tamer. I hope we can get along well in the future."
At the end, he couldn't help but reach out to touch the Thorn Grass.
But after a two-second pause, he drew his hand back silently.
Unfortunately, he couldn't touch his pet—the wound on his hand hadn't healed yet!
The Thorn Grass obviously hadn't expected him to say something like that.
Sensing his sincerity, Thorn Grass felt a warmth in its body and was inexplicably touched.
This Beast Tamer… didn't seem that detestable.
If there was a loyalty value in the pet interface, it would definitely have increased by a lot!
After putting the Thorny Grass back into the Beast Taming Space, Su Yi carefully checked its current situation. To his surprise, its spiritual energy level had increased from two stars to four stars!
It had increased by two stars overnight. As expected of something worth more than a million yuan!
Moreover, Su Yi could clearly sense that the spiritual energy contained in the Wood Spirit Stone had not been completely absorbed by the Thorn Grass. At least 70 to 80% of it was stored in its body.
In other words, after only absorbing 20-30% of it, the Thorny Grass's spiritual energy level had increased to four-star Apprentice level!
If it digested the rest, not to mention six stars, it was even possible to advance to seven stars!
As far as he knew, the pet with the highest spiritual energy level in his class was only a five-star Apprentice.
If it could really advance to the seven-star Apprentice level in a short period of time, then his Thorn Grass would definitely be number one!
"Although I've lost more than a million, it's not a loss to make the Thorn Grass grow so much."
Su Yi finally felt a little better.
As its spiritual energy level increased, the appearance of the Thorn Grass also changed.
Its thorns were originally only as thick as a finger, but now they were much larger and looked much tougher than before.
The thorns had also grown much longer. They gave off a terrifying cold light and looked more and more like steel needles.
If nothing went wrong, the combat power of the Thorn Grass had increased by at least 50%!
"Continue to work hard and try to absorb all the remaining spiritual energy in your body within a month! Everyone says that Thorn Grass is the least anticipated pet, but I believe that you will definitely not be inferior to other extraordinary creatures!"
Su Yi started cheering the little guy on again.
This time, the Thorn Grass didn't confront him. Instead, he transmitted his fighting spirit.
Su Yi nodded in satisfaction. Then, he thought of something and his expression suddenly became serious.
"I know that after the Thorn Grass reaches the four-star Apprentice level, there's a chance it will evolve into a Thorn Vine, but I hope you can suppress it and not be in a hurry to evolve."
Huh?
Thorn Grass didn't quite understand, sending a puzzled emotion.
When Su Yi saw this, he immediately explained seriously, "Because after you advance to the six-star Apprentice level, you can undergo a special evolution. At that time, I will definitely help you become stronger!"
Special evolution?
In the past, the Thorn Grass wouldn't have listened to this master's arrangements, but now, its senses about this master had changed drastically.
Since he said so, it might as well give it a try. It wouldn't matter if it evolved later…
