Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 616 Awakening Potion

"A revival of the myth? Uncle Liu, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Bai Qi was shocked. Mythical creatures had disappeared from the continent for thousands, even tens of thousands of years. The Ice Feather Branch actually wanted to revive mythical creatures.

"Of course you're right, but what we're trying to revive isn't the complete mythical creatures, but rather the mythical bloodline."

Seeing Bai Qi's expression, Liu Bei couldn't help but chuckle and explained.

"Resurrecting mythical species? I thought it meant reviving mythical creatures."

Bai Qi suddenly realized, and then continued to ask, "But aren't mythical species very rare? How does the Ice Feather Branch plan to revive them?"

Liu Bei smiled slightly and said, "Let's talk inside."

The three of them entered the Ice Feather Branch together. Before Liu Bei could lead the way, Nicholas seemed to sense something and headed off in a certain direction on his own.

"It seems Lord Nicholas has noticed."

Liu Bei was not surprised to see this, and followed Bai Qi and Zhuge Chen all the way until they arrived at a circular passage.

Passing through the transparent windows of the circular passageway, you enter a huge courtyard, and in the center of the courtyard stands a towering tree over fifty meters tall.

This tree is incredibly lush; even with the naked eye, you can feel the vibrant life emanating from every leaf. The trunk is covered with mysterious patterns that, from a distance, look as if it is inlaid with scales.

Under the tree, some workers were extracting something from it.

"This tree is..."

Bai Qi looked at Liu Bei and asked.

"We found this tree in Thunder Mountain. It was originally stored in the Ice Feather Gym, but a few days ago it started growing wildly again, so we moved it to the Ice Feather Branch."

"Was it discovered in Leishan?"

Bai Qi and Nicholas exchanged a glance, seemingly realizing something.

Leishan is indeed very special.

"That's right. Leishan is constantly enveloped by a strong natural force, so there are an exceptionally large variety of plant and insect species, while other species are relatively few."

Liu Bei said, "Both our Ice Feather Consortium and Cangzhe Academy have sent people to explore this place, and this tree is the result of our exploration."

At this point, Liu Bei paused and said, "Speaking of which, our research project is actually related to this tree."

"Um?"

Bai Qi was somewhat surprised, so Liu Bei led the group into an elevator and down to the tree.

It wasn't clear from above, but after walking up to the big tree, Bai Qi discovered that the scale of the place was larger than he had expected.

Collection, extraction, purification, classification, detection...

All the projects were placed near the big tree, which greatly improved the research efficiency. The busy researchers were completely unaware of the arrival of the group and remained immersed in their research.

"The team's task is to extract sap from this big tree, purify it, and then send it to the blending room on the other side for blending."

Liu Bei explained, "It's just a matter of adding trace amounts of compounds to guide the energy within."

"So, what exactly is the purpose of the sap from this tree?"

Smelling the fragrant aroma emanating from the juices, Bai Qi became even more curious.

"This extract can stimulate the potential of extraordinary creatures to a certain extent and nourish the origin of life. When combined with the super-god evolution compound, it can even stimulate hidden bloodlines."

Liu Bei patiently explained, and Bai Qi finally understood.

"So, Uncle Liu, you plan to use this extract to activate the mythical bloodline hidden within extraordinary beings?"

"That's right, that's exactly it."

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Actually, our Ice Feather Consortium started similar research a long time ago, but it didn't have any effect until we received help from the Super God Evolution Research Institute and were able to achieve results."

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi suddenly realized that if the research on activating the mythical bloodline could succeed, wouldn't that mean the Federation could have mythical pets for everyone?

In a way, this is somewhat similar to the pursuit of the Immortal Insect King, both hoping to revive those ancient bloodlines that should have disappeared in the river of time.

"However, we also encountered some problems."

Liu Bei looked helpless and said, "The natural power contained in this extract is too strong. Even though we diluted it, some test subjects showed a certain degree of vegetativeization after receiving the injection."

"Plantification?"

Bai Qi was puzzled, but Nicholas seemed to have sensed something. He went around the big tree to the back and sure enough, he saw several strangely shaped pets in some glass rooms.

These pets come from different species, but they have one thing in common: different parts of their bodies have more or less plant-specific features.

They might grow bark or branches and leaves; in the most severe cases, half of their body even turned into a tree.

"Is it because the body's blood and energy couldn't resist the erosion of natural energy, and it became parasitized by plants?"

Bai Qi looked at Liu Bei, who immediately confirmed, "That's right. The extract used these organisms as a culture medium, allowing them to grow into new individuals."

"Although this is a minority of cases, this problem must be solved if we want to promote it as a formal research result."

Bai Qi nodded slightly, carefully examining the plant-like pets, and said, "Uncle Liu, haven't you tried using it on plant-type pets?"

"Of course we've tried, but unfortunately, the plant species are more likely to be affected, and some have even been directly assimilated into the same species as the parent organism."

Liu Bei explained with some regret.

"Is that so..."

Bai Qi turned to look at the large tree and asked Nicholas, "Nicholas, is the natural power of this tree related to the green dragon?"

"It looks somewhat like it, but it probably isn't."

Nicholas picked up a bottle of extract, sniffed it, and then surprisingly drank it all in one gulp.

"Lord Nicholas, you're taking too much of a risk!"

Liu Bei panicked upon seeing this. Nicholas had been drinking the original liquid, which was extremely concentrated. If Nicholas also developed vegetative symptoms, his responsibility would be immense.

"It's alright. I am a green dragon after all, and this little bit of natural power can't affect me."

Nicholas smacked his lips, still wanting more, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this thing won't affect the imperial bloodline at all, nor will it have much of an impact on monarchical creatures. If one also controls the power of nature, it can be used as a tonic. But beyond that, it might be affected."

Hearing Nicholas's words, Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "We have also conducted experiments on monarch-level creatures. The effects were indeed very small, or even nonexistent, but because the number of experiments was too small, we are not sure about the specific effects."

"As for the Emperor level, I've never actually tried it."

Nicholas waved his hand dismissively upon hearing this, picked up another bottle from the side and began to taste it, saying, "The bloodline of the Emperor Biology is basically stable and will not be affected, but it is also basically impossible for you to revive the Mythical Bloodline, so there is no need to try."

"I see, thank you for reminding me, Lord Nicholas."

Liu Bei understood immediately upon hearing this, and a researcher beside him also wrote down Nicholas's words.

"But Uncle Liu, you just said that only a few products failed, so where are the successful ones?"

Bai Qi looked around curiously, but did not see any successful products.

"This is the testing area. Successful samples have been sent to the inspection area for practical training."

Liu Bei led the group onto the elevator and headed to the next area.

"Director, what brings you here?"

As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, Bai Qi saw a tall, red-faced man walking towards them. It was Guan Qing, with whom he had fought before.

"Guan Qing, you've come at the right time. Show the Dean and the others the effects of the Awakening Potion."

"Awakening potion? Is that the name of that extract?"

"That's right. The main purpose of our research on that extract is to revive the mythical bloodline and awaken the abilities hidden within extraordinary beings, so we named it that."

Liu Bei pointed in the direction of the big tree and said, "We named that tree after awakening as well."

"The Tree of Awakening, that's very fitting."

Bai Qi nodded slightly. If he could truly awaken the mythical bloodline as Liu Bei said, then this name would be incredibly fitting.

"Dean, it's been a long time."

Looking at Bai Qi, who was chatting and laughing with Liu Bei, Guan Qing took the initiative to extend his hand to Bai Qi, revealing the six curse marks on the back of his hand.

"Guan Qing, you've reached level six too? Congratulations!"

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi immediately offered his congratulations, but Guan Qing's expression was somewhat strange.

Back when the dojo battle took place, Bai Qi had only recently advanced to the fifth rank, while he was on the verge of advancing to the sixth rank at any moment. Yet, he advanced later than Bai Qi.

Although Guan Qing knew that Bai Qi was exceptionally talented, he still felt somewhat frustrated.

"Alright, let's go check out the effects of the awakening potion first. Guan Qing's Moon Worship Tree Man is one of our successful experimental cases with Monarch Biotechnology."

Liu Bei smiled slightly, and Bai Qi immediately became interested and followed Liu Bei to the combat zone.

Guan Qing walked to the center of the arena, looked at Bai Qi who was looking at him expectantly, and then summoned his pet beast.

"Let me introduce you. This is my pet beast, an imperial creature, the Crescent Moon Guardian."

Guan Qing pointed to the huge tree beside him and said, "After drinking the awakening potion, my Moon Worshiping Treant successfully awakened its mythical bloodline and advanced to become the Emperor-level Crescent Moon Guardian."

"Has the mythical bloodline been awakened?"

Bai Qi raised an eyebrow, walked to the side of the Crescent Moon Guard, and placed his hand on it.

【Name】： Crescent Moon Guardian

[Attribute]: Plant (Mythological)

[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Emperor

……

"It really is a mythical species."

Bai Qi withdrew his hand, becoming increasingly interested in the awakening potion.

"Guan Qing, would you mind letting me see the Crescent Moon Guard's combat capabilities?"

"sure."

Guan Qing nodded slightly and gave the Crescent Moon Guardian the order. The Crescent Moon Guardian immediately understood, and with a slight sway of the tree canopy above its head, a crescent moon appeared above its head.

Then, moonlight poured down, forming crescent moons in the air, accurately striking the distant target and easily slicing it into pieces. The monitor next to it also displayed the effect of the Crescent Moon Guardian's attack.

"Is a casual strike comparable to a high-level skill?"

"Mythical bloodline, indeed very powerful!"

Bai Qi's eyes lit up as he looked at Liu Bei and asked, "Uncle Liu, could you give me some awakening potions?"
