After Daphne responded to the command, she seemed to doze off again, her watery eyes blinking, falling asleep within seconds.

Seeing this, David Jones carefully cradled her in his arms.

And sure enough, Daphne’s fur was incredibly soft and her body felt so fluffy he simply couldn’t put her down.

“Could it be you?” Rosalind Louise gazed intently at Daphne in David’s arms, momentarily lost in thought.

“Rosalind, do you know how to use the Aurora Kindling method?”

“There’s still more than a month before the Puppet Cup officially starts – are you prepared?”

Instead of answering David’s question, Rosalind, who had returned to her senses, suddenly asked him instead.

David paused for a moment, seemingly realizing something, and a distressed expression appeared on his face.

I’m sorry, I probably won’t be able to participate in this Puppet Cup,” David couldn’t help scratching his head, looking rather annoyed.

He had recently become a Junior Trainer to test Rainbow’s post-evolution strength and improve his training authority.

What, giving up before the event has even started? I’ll take that as your concession!” Rosalind’s eyes sharpened, a hint of disappointment on her exquisite face.

Although she had been reluctant to take David as her apprentice, seeing him give up so easily still left her feeling a bit let down.

At that moment, Rosalind’s expression was quite subtle, but David, the keen observer he was, still noticed it.

“I’m not giving up. The Puppet Cup only allows Primary Trainers to enter, and I am already a Junior Trainer now. I don’t think I can sign up,” David said somewhat sheepishly.

This was ultimately his own mistake. Who would have thought that after leaving the dungeon, he would completely forget about the Puppet Cup’s entry rules!

“A Junior Trainer?” Rosalind looked at David in surprise, with a hint of shock and confusion in her eyes.

She had only been in seclusion for just over a month, not a year!

In this short period, what had David done to achieve these incredible things? “What kind of Pet Resources did you use for Rainbow? It couldn’t have been Blood Elixir, could it?” Rosalind’s face suddenly became very serious.

Once pets reach Class I or higher, they can begin using specially made elixirs to increase their strength, but this process also requires gradual progression.

As a Class IV elixir, Blood Elixir can improve the power of a Fourth Order Middle Position pet by one sub-level, and the impact on bloodlines is minimal. However, if used on a pet with a strength of Class II or lower, the power of the pet might break through to Class II, or even Class III lower-level.

But, as the price for this rapid improvement in strength, the pet’s bloodline would become extremely mixed.

Therefore, while Blood Elixir is a rare cultivation enhancing elixir for Class IV pets, it is essentially poison for lower-class pets.

Forceful growth would simply squander a pet’s future potential, and Rosalind refused to believe that the person she had seen so much hope in was someone so short-sighted.

“Blood Elixir? What is that?” David frowned, as this was his first time seeing Rosalind so serious.

Realizing that her attitude might be a bit too eager, Rosalind tried to suppress her confusion and calmly said, “It’s nothing – just an elixir that can enhance a pet’s strength. It just has some significant side effects.”

Seeing that Rosalind seemed to be misunderstanding, David explained, “I found some good things in the Mountain Southshore dungeon that Rainbow happened to need for her evolution. So, I let her evolve inside the dungeon!” “Maybe it was my good luck at that time. After evolving, Rainbow’s strength rose to Class II lower-level.” Saying this, David chuckled, seemingly marveling at his own good fortune.

Upon hearing this, Rosalind stared deeply at David, not asking any further questions.

In a typical evolution, a Coldjade Snake’s strength would only increase by one or two small levels, but Rainbow’s had jumped an entire major level.

“Neither an Elite Coldmoon Python nor a Superior Coldjade Python can increase their strength by so much – is it a Commander Coldjade Python or a Commander Purplestripe Icepython?” Rosalind pondered quietly.

Following those thoughts, she suddenly remembered her own sister’s disciple, the nephew who was about to compete in the Puppet Cup.

Although her nephew’s pet had reached a Class III Superior level, she knew the extent of his abilities all too well.

Frankly, his strength was due not only to his own efforts but also to the support of his family.

In contrast, David was just a poor young man.

“It’s incredible that David managed to make such astounding progress in such a short time, whether it’s due to luck or ability!”

As she thought about this, Rosalind’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and the corner of her mouth curled into a faint smile.

It now seemed that the premonition she had earlier, based on her Innate Talent, could indeed become a reality!

“Can the Puppet Cup’s entry rules be altered at all? Can we only limit Trainer and pet ages without restricting the Trainer’s level?”

David tried his luck in asking.

After all, they were all old acquaintances.

If he lost Rosalind, a Senior Alchemist, where would he find another skilled Pharmacist to learn from?

“What do you think?” Rosalind glanced at David, not pleased.

As if changing the rules was as simple as hosting their own Puppet Cup!

“So what happens with the bet we made?” David asked with a hint of resignation, unsure of what to say.

If he lost outright, it would be hard for him to accept.

With his current strength, wouldn’t participating in the Puppet Cup make him practically unbeatable!

Let s just treat it as if we never made that bet.”

Rosalind said, without a care, that it was David’s own mistake after all.

It worked out well since she didn’t want to become David’s Alchemist Master either.

If they continued with the bet and with the event more than a month away, David’s strength could rapidly soar again, potentially defeating even her prized nephew.

She wasn’t willing to take that loss.

“But if you really want to be an Alchemist, I can provide you with some secret Pharmacist knowledge.”

Seeing the disappointment on David’s face, Rosalind spoke teasingly.

“Secrets?” David Jones asked tentatively.

Why did he feel like things were starting to get a little strange?

“Yes, like the Aurora Kindling method you were asking about earlier.” Rosalind said with a smile, a gleam of interest in her clear eyes.

“The higher-ranking techniques for nurturing fire seeds and sophisticated fire-control methods for Pharmacist use are closely guarded secrets of our school.”

Our school?” Sensing the key piece of information, David’s eyes sparkled.

“Yes, our school.” Rosalind’s face beamed with a smile, speaking quite naturally.

“You know about the Flowery Kingdom’s Big Five, don’t you? Which college do you plan to take the entrance exam for next year?” Rosalind asked softly.

In her eyes, passing the exam to enter the Flowery Kingdom’s Big Five seemed to be no big deal..
