Lu Fan had thought the Dragon Tamer Second Class Advancement Challenge Book would cost 100,000 recovery points.
Unexpectedly, it required a full 1,000,000 recovery points.
Although profession-specific challenge books are worth more than common ones, this price was still shocking.
Due to the rarity of the Dragon Tamer challenge book, it's really hard to find elsewhere other than the recovery shop.
This recovery shop was clearly taking advantage of its rarity to jack up the price.
What a black market!
"Fine, one million it is."
"Good thing I didn't exchange for the Attribute Extract; otherwise, I'd be even farther from a million!"
Lu Fan shook his head and closed the recovery shop.
He was still quite far from one million recovery points.
Though he'd gained nearly 700,000 points in two recent bursts, most came from the outdoor secret realm.
Whether he could encounter another such realm soon was uncertain.
Outside, there was no such good environment for grinding points.
Pulling monster groups outside wasn't realistic either.
Even ignoring the risk of exposing his Dragon Companions, too many people had already entered the Xijiang Mountain Range—there were more humans than monsters now.
The daily monster refresh in the Xijiang Mountain Range was limited.
While pondering where to grind more points after leaving the secret realm, a crisp and lively voice suddenly called out:
"Master! Little Xia can speak now, awooo!"
"Hm? What's that?"
The voice sounded both unfamiliar and strangely intimate.
Lu Fan was momentarily stunned, then quickly looked toward the sound's source.
There, Little Xia and Little Jing were sitting side by side, looking at him.
"Little Xia? Was that you speaking just now? You can speak human language now?"
"Yes, awooo! Master!"
"Little Xia just ate that delicious fruit and felt dizzy, awooo!"
"Now Little Xia can speak the language Master uses!"
"Seems like I learned many other languages too, awooo!"
Hearing Lu Fan's questions, Little Xia eagerly shared many things, delighting in smooth communication.
"That's wonderful, Little Xia!"
Though Lu Fan had previously communicated with Little Xia via intuition and guesses—like sign language-
now that she could speak human language, seamless communication was finally possible!
If Little Xia could speak human language, then...
"Little Jing, how about you? Can you speak human language too?"
"Yes, Master."
Unlike Little Xia's warm and lively voice, Little Jing's was clear and cool, like spring water flowing over stones.
Perhaps shy from direct communication, Little Jing fluttered her wings and returned to Lu Fan's embrace.
"Master, I'll continue studying the dragon legacy memories..."
Seeing Little Jing retreat to study, Lu Fan smiled gently.
She truly was a diligent learner!
Both Little Xia and Little Jing had just reached the juvenile growth stage and already spoke the common human tongue.
Truly worthy of their Divine dragon bloodline!
Even the lowliest Earth Dragons and Flying Dragons might never learn other races' languages in their lifetime.
Sub-Dragons might only manage it in their youth stage.
But Little Xia and Little Jing advanced this ability by two stages early—
their talent was extraordinary!
With joy, Lu Fan then looked at the stats of juvenile Little Xia after her growth stage upgrade:
[Dragon Companion: Little Xia]
[Race: Crimson Blaze Dragon (Divine Nature of Heavenly Punishment)]
[Growth Stage: Juvenile Dragon]
[Sub Class: Chef]
[Level: Level 9]
[Strength: 2926 (26)]

[MP: 29130]

[Crimson Flame Claw Strike: Dragon claws covered with crimson flames slash targets, causing tearing damage with burning and bleeding effects.]
"After growing into the juvenile stage, Little Xia's four core attributes increased by 500!"
"Plus 400 from leveling up twice, total four attributes near 3000?!"
"And she also learned a new damage skill with burning and bleeding effects!"
"It's been a while since I checked Little Xia's stats; the growth is incredible!"
"I wonder what new changes Little Jing has."
Lu Fan was excited looking at Little Xia's panel, about to check Little Jing's, when distant footsteps approached.
Frowning, Lu Fan turned to see Liu Yan and her two followers, along with two veteran professional guards.
"Oh, it's you."
"Didn't expect to see you here, Lu Fan!"
"Life really brings unexpected meetings."
