Chapter 261: Chapter 257: Source of Life
Holy Relic Tower.
Bai Qi had a huge smile on his face, looking at the scores displayed on his badge, he was in an extremely good mood.
Almost one hundred and fifty thousand points, enough for Bai Qi to exchange another legend-grade resource, and still have a fair amount left.
“The third stage of training might take place in different locations, but I should still be able to earn points, right? I’m only short by over thirty thousand, maybe I can swap for another one.”
Bai Qi quickly planned his use of the points and headed towards Xiang Li’s office.
Seeing Bai Qi coming, Xiang Li immediately understood Bai Qi’s plan and laughed, “So eager to exchange for resources?”
Bai Qi nodded and smiled, “That’s right, I need to trouble Master Xiang for some advice again.”
Xiang Li gave a faint smile, saying, “Go ahead, which resources do you want to exchange? Given your points, you should be able to exchange for three resources.”
“For the first two, I plan to exchange for the Light Spirit Holy Diamond and Twin Star Core. As for the third one, I haven’t decided.”
The Light Spirit Holy Diamond and Twin Star Core were both for Gamma’s use, effectively letting Gamma skip a team trial. The only ones left who hadn’t used their first-round legendary resources were Husky and Delta.
Although he had exchanged a spiritual resource with the Thirteenth Bureau, both Husky and Delta could use it. He originally planned to let the two Beasts compete, but now that another one had appeared, Bai Qi was in a dilemma.
Should he exchange all for spiritual resources to make up for Delta’s spirit power shortcomings, or go all-in on one approach and exchange for a legendary resource that can enhance base attributes?
This is so troubling…
Seeing Bai Qi looking troubled, Xiang Li pondered slightly, and said, “Since you haven’t decided, why not listen to my suggestion?”
“I’m all ears.”
Xiang Li paused for a moment, “Your skeletal-type pet, called Death Sword Monarch, right? It has unlimited potential to reach King-level at the fourth stage, but you can probably hold off for now. If your pet’s power rises too quickly, it can put unnecessary pressure on your soul.”
Bai Qi understood. Although Alpha was only at the fourth stage King-level, just like Bai Qiucha’s Skeleton Dragon, if they progressed too quickly, it would harm his soul. Anyway, Alpha had already used the first round of the legendary resources, so Bai Qi hadn’t considered it.
“Then, the strange slime creature, the Light Spirit Holy Diamond and Twin Star Core you wanted to exchange should be for it. Although I’m not sure why you would risk fusing holy light and evil power, with the Twin Star Core, it should work.”
“For the remaining two beasts, I recommend that you enhance the Ancestral Beast.”
Xiang Li paused, “An Ancestral Beast that can evolve and devolve according to the external environment, in my opinion, has a higher limit than your Death Sword Monarch.”
“If one day, you could train your Ancestral Beast into a legendary creature, I can assure you, no creature of the same level could guarantee a win against it!” After hearing Xiang Li’s words, Bai Qi had an epiphany, indeed, if he could train Delta into a legendary creature, without the burden of bloodline level disparity, Delta would truly deserve the title of hexagonal all-around warrior.
“I understand.”
Bai Qi nodded, looked at Xiang Li, and said, “Do you have any suitable recommendations, Master Xiang?”
Seeing Bai Qi taking his advised, Xiang Li nodded in satisfaction.
The genius is always defiant, but a genius who refuses to listen to others’ advice is likely to die prematurely. Like Bai Qi, whose talent was exceptional and yet could take advice from others, his future was undoubtedly bright.
Xiang Li opened up his computer, pulled out the data on a legendary resource, and said, “I watched your match that day, your Ancestral Beast can maintain that form by consuming energy provided by its allies, right?”
“So I recommend you choose this ‘Source of Life’.”
“Source of Life?”
Bai Qi’s eyes lit up, already agreeing to Xiang Li’s suggestion.
[Name]: Source of Life
[Level]: Mythical Level
[Introduction]: The core left behind by a King-level Tree of Life after its death, it contains all the vitality of the Tree of Life and can greatly improve the life essence of a beast.
Bai Qi was only thinking about improving Delta’s basic attributes, he hadn’t thought that there was something like the Source of Life that could directly improve life essence.
Once the life essence was improved, other attributes would also improve.
“To be honest, the immediate improvement brought by the Source of Life is not as noticeable as other materials, but for your Ancestral Beast, it couldn’t be more suitable.”
Bai Qi nodded, saying, “Thank you for your advice, Master Xiang.”
Xiang Li laughed, “I’m hoping to pull you into Holy Relic Tower, so this little favor, whether I want to help or not, I have to.”
Bai Qi gave a wry smile, he didn’t object to joining the Six Tower, but looking at Lu Qing and Yi Xiaowei who always stayed in the tower, Bai Qi wanted to wander around a bit before deciding.
Soon, the three legendary resources were delivered to Bai Qi. He didn’t stay for long in the Holy Relic Tower and bid farewell to Xiang Li before leaving.
Gamma’s basic benefits were at hand, and Delta also had a material to use before reaching fourth stage. It was time to fulfill their basic benefits first.
That being said, apart from the spiritual materials the Thirteenth Bureau hadn’t sent yet, it seemed that all the resources for the first stage of the four pets’ enhancement had arrived. It might be time to host a new internal competition.
“Although we’re now in a better situation, we still need to keep pushing ourselves. Complacency is not a good habit.”
Bai Qi smacked his lips and headed straight for the Green Dragon Secret Realm.
Even though Gamma had absorbed the wings of the Judgement Angel, it was clear he hadn’t completely done so. Bai Qi planned to use the Twin Star Core to balance the two types of energy first, which might bring unexpected results. However, this could consume more energy than he had anticipated, so it would be safer to stay near Nicholas.
Moreover, he was about to return to Gusu City, so he needed to say goodbye to Nicholas.
After all, he was the only acquaintance Nicholas had here…right?
He watched Nicholas, with a sly smile on his face, eagerly explaining the dishes he had just cooked to Old Lady Fan in the Green Dragon Secret Realm. Bai Qi’s eye twitched.
Why were there so many bootlickers, groveling towards dogs and dragons, around him lately? For the first time, he felt that Zhao Futu’s decision to make them study in a different place was perfectly right.
Training in such an environment was mood spoiling indeed.
“Bai Qi, what brings you here?”
Old Lady Fan was the first to notice Bai Qi’s arrival. “How’s Delta doing recently?”
“Things should be fine, I think.”
Bai Qi summoned all four pets. Delta immediately jumped into Old Lady Fan’s arms, showing affection by rubbing its head against her palm.
Good gracious, even space rifts were forming. True to her legend status, Old Lady Fan seemed to be unaffected.
Bai Qi stared with dread at the space rifts Delta had left behind. He was grateful he had quickly corrected Delta’s reckless actions; otherwise a trip to the ICU would have been inevitable.
“Not bad, it grew plump and furry. The fourth stage is not far off, you really spared no effort in nurturing it.”
After inspecting Delta, Old Lady Fan gave a satisfied nod, while Bai Qi secretly sighed in relief.
If eating epic-level resources every day didn’t do it any good, he would really be at a loss.
“Perfect timing, I just finished eating and was about to go take a nap. You two cando as you please.”
Old Lady Fan simply tore open a space rift and returned to the breeding field, leaving Nicholas looking gloomy and dispirited, “Bai Qi, is there anything you need from me?”
Bai Qi nodded, and said, “I just exchanged a few mythical resources, and I’m thinking of enhancing Gamma and the others.”
“Again?”
Nicholas raised his head, saying, “I heard from our sister that the upgrade of the pets should be gradual. Upgrading too quickly can lead to an unstable foundation. Are you sure you don’t want to hold steady?”
“Shouldn’t be a problem, Alpha has been going through the same process.”
Bai Qi waved his hand. Alpha, starting as a low-level servant and reaching king-level, had been heavily dependent on Evolution Egg’s ability to forcefully enhance its race value and fusion materials. If it wasn’t for his worry about what might unexpectedly happen if he fused holy light with evil power, Bai Qi wouldn’t need to go through all this trouble.
“Well then.”
Nicholas nodded, “Let’s get started. I have to prepare dinner for our sister.”
Watching Nicholas flipping through recipes while talking, Bai Qi sighed in resignation, and then summoned the rest of the three pets.
Woof?
(I think I smell mythical resources.)
The moment Beta appeared, he seemed to have detected something.
“Your nose is indeed sensitive.”
Bai Qi ruffled Beta’s head, placing the Twin Star Core and Source of Life in front of Gamma and Delta, “Let’s start by using the base benefits for Gamma and Delta, and then we can start the internal competition.”
“Twin Star Core? Beast Master, are you worried about a conflict between the holy light and evil power?”
Schuck glanced at the Twin Star Core and immediately understood. Bai Qi nodded, “Originally, I was planning to use it to help fuse the Light Spirit Holy Diamond, but now I want to see if it can help in fusing the power of the Judgement Angel.”
Based on Gamma’s feedback, the lightning symbol from the Judgement Angel was slowly strengthening his constitution. This meant that it was essentially harmless, but unlike other things, it had not been directly absorbed by Gamma. Bai Qi suspected this might have do with the evil power in Gamma’s body.
He hoped the Twin Star Core could do as described; balance the two energies of holy light and evil power. If it was successful, Gamma’s abilities would definitely leap a significant level.
As for Delta, Bai Qi had asked Xiang Li about it. The attributes of the Source of Life were quite gentle. Even if it couldn’t be absorbed all at once, any remaining life essence would be stored in its body for later absorption, so there was no significant problem.
“Come on, let me see how far you can be enhanced.”
