My tamed beasts can't be demons.

Chapter 63: How to Obtain Evolution Materials (Please, please, please read on!)

"Are these the materials needed for the special evolution of Fireworks?"

Before leaving, Zhou Lu finally handed over the evolution materials copied from the ancient book to Wu Xiaoqing.

He had a deep-seated distrust of this system from the future.

Since my future Fireworks will follow the unique evolution path of the Nine-Lives Immortal Herb, why has the system only provided me with the location of Vermilion Bird Dung Soil, without any information on other materials?

He could certainly obtain the remaining materials by exploiting the system, but how did he obtain these materials in the first place? As a result, the system didn't even trigger the mission.

"Are these things... extinct?" Wu Xiaoqing asked thoughtfully, looking at the recipe in her hand.

She had a mental record of all the known spirit beasts and the names and information of the materials they needed to evolve. She also had some recollection of the information provided by Zhou Lu.

However, these are all archaeological discoveries or documented records; there is no information about their existence in reality.

Zhou Lu nodded and said, "I really couldn't find any information about them."

Wu Xiaoqing pursed her lips and thought for a while before saying, "It's normal that we can't find it. This recipe is at least two thousand years old, so the name it has now might be different from the name it had in ancient times."

"In general, we start our investigation with the spirit beast's cousins." As she spoke, Wu Xiaoqing took out her phone and logged into the literature website.

"Yes, I found it." After searching for a while, Wu Xiaoqing smiled confidently and handed her phone to Zhou Lu. "I knew I was right. Spirit beasts of the same species and genus always need similar evolution materials."

Zhou Lu took the phone from Wu Xiaoqing's hand.

"Jade-like gravel... black phosphorus..." Zhou Lu pondered.

The moment Zhou Lu saw these two materials, he knew Wu Xiaoqing was right, because their images were eight or nine parts similar to the material icons in the system.

Is it because the modern name isn't the one I can't find?

"As for those two extinct plants you mentioned..." Wu Xiaoqing thought for a moment and said, "After we return from the secret realm, I will study the research papers on their fossils."

"If it's a fossil, there shouldn't be any genetic material left..."

"If we had genetic material, that would be even better. Many labs are researching this technology now, and maybe we could even clone and resurrect these extinct species in the lab," Wu Xiaoqing said. "It's true, the government is really willing to invest money in gene technology, and big companies are very keen to sponsor these projects..."

"Well, let's not talk about that." Wu Xiaoqing patted her chest confidently and said, "Even without genetic material, we can find the cousins ​​of the Life-Beggar Grass and the Nine Thunder Candle Grass and try to revive these extinct species through special evolution."

"This is okay?"

"If the Dream Rain Flower can evolve into the Nine-Lives Immortal Herb, why can't other spirit beasts?" Wu Xiaoqing grinned. "Otherwise, where do you think I got all those mushrooms from?"

Well, when it comes to research in this area, Sister Xiaoqing is indeed a professional.

In just a few words, he pointed out the route for Zhou Lu to find the materials.

However, researching evolutionary paths is time-consuming and labor-intensive, so Zhou Lu plans to directly exchange the selected materials rewarded by the system for Life-Beggar Grass and Nine Thunder Candle Grass.

For the remaining two materials, we'll use the ones we already have.

This way, I can save a few slots for choosing materials and reserve them for the future evolution of Fireworks.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, let's get going."

As she spoke, Wu Xiaoqing stood up.

This time, the destination is outside the safe zone of the Bird Kingdom.

As a student, Zhou Lu had to sign numerous declarations before he was allowed entry.

There's no way around it; behind every absurd process, there's always some backstory.

Even if the students volunteer completely, and even if the incident happens inside the safe zone, parents will still come knocking on the door to make a scene, let alone outside the safe zone.

However, the safe zone cannot cover all the needs for the evolution of spirit pets, so it is normal for students to explore outside the safe zone, and the academy does not stop them.

Since it's not going to the safe zone, there's no need to pay credits to enter the secret realm.

Fireworks perched on Zhou Lu's head, curiously examining the documents he had signed.

"You didn't teach it to read, did you?" Wu Xiaoqing asked in surprise, seeing Hanabi's behavior. "Is it that smart?"

"Xiao Xi sometimes teaches." Thinking of this, Zhou Lu's expression became somewhat strange.

Xiaoxi always teaches Hanabi some strange things, like the bondage last time.

"But it still prefers looking at pictures." With that, Zhou Lu signed his last name.

Just as he was about to put down his pen, Huahuo stretched out a vine, curled up Zhou Lu's pen, and drew a small flower next to his name.

(*^▽^*) I want to sign too!

Fireworks patted the leaves contentedly, and her cute appearance made Wu Xiaoqing cover her mouth and laugh.

After signing the papers, Zhou Lu and Wu Xiaoqing arrived at the gate to the secret realm.

C1422, Bird's Den, the seventeenth teleportation node.

As the light from the gate to the secret realm flowed, Zhou Lu experienced a brief period of blindness.

When he opened his eyes again, he had arrived at the Bird Realm.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a giant blue bird fly over his head.

As the bluebird flew by, the airflow created a strong wind on the ground, making Zhou Lu and Wu Xiaoqing's clothes flutter loudly.

Fireworks used vines to hold onto Zhou Lu's head tightly, preventing him from being blown away by the gust of wind.

"A second-tier spirit beast, a giant jade."

Wu Xiaoqing looked in the direction the bluebird flew away and explained.

"Be careful, this is not like the safe zone, large spirit beasts may appear at any time."

As she spoke, Wu Xiaoqing summoned her spirit pet.

The enormous bird-like spirit pet was released from the Beast Taming Card, and its size was not much smaller than that of the giant jade.

Zhou Lu was slightly taken aback when he saw this scene.

"What are you standing there for? Come on up." Wu Xiaoqing looked at Zhou Lu strangely.

Zhou Lu then came to his senses and climbed onto the bird's back.

"This is at least Tier 2, right?"

"Yes, a second-tier Eastern Black-crowned Eagle," Wu Xiaoqing said.

"I never expected that my senior would raise such a spirit pet."

As the black-crowned eagle took off, everything around Zhou Lu flashed by rapidly before his eyes.

He only knew that Wu Xiaoqing had a third-tier cursed frog, but he didn't know much about her other spirit pets.

"I had no choice. Many mushrooms and plants are attracted to bird droppings, so I just kept one as a pet," Wu Xiaoqing said casually.

Did you raise them as a side project...?

Zhou Lu observed how other birds and spirit beasts in the airspace avoided the black-crowned eagle.

Wu Xiaoqing's black-crowned eagle is probably stronger than I imagined.

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Wu Xiaoqing staring blankly at the purple mushroom in her hand.

This mushroom looks like the one she brought from the funeral of that deceased professor.

At this moment, the mushroom was emitting a strong purple light, like a large light bulb.
