Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 629 Exploring Leishan

Secret base.

"Jeta, is the inactivation of toxin #3 ready?"

Snore snore~

(I just finished making it~)

Jeta tossed a bottle of green potion with eerie bubbles to Bai Qi, startling him so much that he nearly missed catching it.

"Jetta, take it easy. I'm not like you guys who can get poisoned and be fine."

Bai Qi wiped the sweat from his forehead, carefully placed the medicine aside, and began to patiently educate him.

Snoring?

(But I think this tastes pretty good!)

Jetta tilted his head in confusion, clearly not understanding what Bai Qi was afraid of.

Bai Qi: "..."

Indeed, discussing poisoning with this kind of elemental creature is like casting pearls before swine.

"Alright, let's try and see if Inactivation No. 3 works."

Bai Qi opened the potion bottle and carefully poured it into a bottle of awakening potion. He patiently watched the awakening potion churn, change color, and then return to calm before handing it to Delta, saying, "Delta, take care of this."

Bubbling.

(OK.)

Delta took the potion, and the candlelight in her eyes flickered. Suddenly, the potion inside began to tremble violently, and she could even vaguely see the dark void, but the potion bottle itself was not affected in the slightest.

"Using the power of the void to create vibrations is far more effective than using instruments."

Watching Delta's actions, Bai Qi grinned, looking at the awakening potion that had turned back to emerald green, and said, "I hope this time it will be successful."

"Boss, are you sure you don't need to use my parasitic beast to try it out?"

Cordyceps bent down and asked.

"Epsilon, please don't get so close in the future. I'm worried that you'll get into the habit of leaning on my shoulder."

Bai Qi looked helplessly at the materials that were being blown about by the Cordyceps' breath and said.

"As for your parasites, just leave them until you find suitable insect guardian hosts. Don't waste them."

"I'm sorry, Chief, I can't change it all at once."

Seeing Bai Qi's gaze, Cordyceps finally realized what was happening. Looking at its enormous size, its eyes held a complex expression.

While such a massive size is indeed very intimidating, it also makes me feel a bit distant from the leader.

I hope I won't fall out of favor.

Or perhaps next time it will parasitize a smaller insect guard and sit on its master's shoulder in its place?

Just as Cordyceps was struggling with this, Delta finished processing the Awakening Potion and handed it back to Bai Qi.

Bubbling.

(Boss, this fusion was perfect, maybe it will work.)

"real?"

Bai Qi's eyes lit up, and he took the potion and teleported directly back to the Ice Feather Branch.

"Dean, why are you out so early today?"

Liu Bei, who was reviewing the researchers' data reports, was somewhat surprised to see Bai Qi appear.

A week has passed since the cooperation was established with Cangzhe Academy, and during this time Bai Qi has devoted himself to the research of awakening potions.

However, Bai Yong was not used to the equipment here, so he usually stayed in his own secret base and only came out for dinner.

"Yes, we just blended a new variety, let's come out and see how it goes."

Bai Qi nodded, looked around, and asked, "Where's the Dragon Blood Seed that Cangzhe Academy promised? Has it arrived?"

"A few were just delivered; I'll have someone bring them over."

Liu Bei nodded, then looked at the awakening potion in Bai Qi's hand and said, "But Dean, do you really think it's feasible to suppress the effects of the awakening potion with toxins?"

"I'm not sure either, let's give it a try first."

Bai Qi shrugged and said, "Moreover, the inactivation toxin mainly targets the situation of plantification. Although it will weaken the purification effect of the awakening agent, the probability of plantification should theoretically also be reduced."

Since accepting the task of improving the Awakening Potion, Bai Qi devised many methods, but ultimately chose to use the toxins he had stolen from Cangzhe Academy to improve the Awakening Potion.

However, so far, many of the experimental pets have died along with the toxins inside.

It was for this reason that Bai Qi chose to use the dragon blood insect pets with strong resistance to toxins provided by Cangzhe Academy for his experiments.

"I see."

Liu Bei nodded slightly. Everyone has their own expertise. Although he was shocked by Bai Qi's method of using poison to prepare ingredients, he was relieved when he thought about Bai Qi's previous research.

If Bai Qi hadn't taken this unconventional path, he might not have achieved what he has today.

Soon, a fiery red centipede was brought over.

The centipede was clearly still ferocious and seemed somewhat displeased with the stares of the crowd, constantly shaking its antennae.

This situation only lasted for a short while. After seeing the cordyceps squatting behind Bai Qi, the fiery red centipede immediately quieted down and dared not move again.

After the dragon and insectoids merged, the combined pressure of the dragon and insectoid races made the already rigid hierarchical insectoid oppression even more terrifying, not to mention that this centipede was merely a lord-level creature.

"That's good. Fire poison and inactivated toxins go well together. Maybe it will work."

Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, then signaled Cordyceps to control the centipede, and threw the awakening potion directly into the centipede's mouth.

As soon as the awakening potion entered its mouth, the centipede began to struggle violently, seemingly in pain. Strange sharp horns suddenly began to grow from all over its body, piercing it and leaving it riddled with holes.

But soon, to everyone's surprise, a dazzling light of evolution emanated from the centipede's body. Its originally slender body slowly expanded, and it released a powerful pressure.

Dragon's Might.

"Is this the awakening of dragon bloodline? The Azure Serpent Academy will definitely be very interested."

Seeing this, Bai Qi nodded slightly. After the two sides reached a cooperative relationship, the Ice Feather Branch sent a batch of awakening potions over, which was considered as an exchange for various bloodline pets provided by the other party.

However, as far as they know, apart from the first insect dragon that succeeded in the Hidden Dragon Cave, no one else has succeeded.

Achieving a perfect balance in the Insect Dragon bloodline is indeed quite difficult.

Soon, the light of evolution dissipated, and a strange creature with fiery red dragon wings appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Dragon scales, dragon horns, dragon wings—it definitely shows the awakening of dragon bloodline, but it looks...so ugly!"

Bai Qi looked the strangely shaped centipede dragon in front of him up and down, his face full of disgust.

"It is indeed a bit ugly, but shouldn't this be considered a combination of insect and dragon?"

Liu Bei smiled broadly and said, "If we give this to Cangzhe Academy, they might treasure it like a precious artifact."

"That's true. Why don't you send some over and exchange it for some experimental materials?"

Bai Qi nodded and said.

"Dean, why don't you consider parasitizing this creature into an insect guard? If it already possesses insect dragon bloodline, the effect would be even better, wouldn't it?"

Liu Bei glanced at the cordyceps behind Bai Qi and offered his suggestion.

"I refuse."

Bai Qi shook his head and said seriously, "This guy is too ugly. I'm afraid he'll scare the kids."

"Mmm, ugly, no thanks!"

Cordyceps nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. As a handsome insect dragon, he had very high standards for his insect guards. He really couldn't accept that this centipede dragon looked like it had been exposed to nuclear radiation.

"All right."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Then I'll keep an eye out for any pets among the samples sent from Thunder Forest that meet your requirements, Dean."

"Thank you for your help, Uncle Liu. By the way, has the information on the ferocious beasts of Leishan been delivered by the association?"

Upon his return, Bai Qi entrusted Liu Bei to help him find excellent monarchical creatures with various natural attributes so that he could complete the construction of the insect guard as soon as possible.

The Azure Zhe Academy does provide quite a few insect pets with rare bloodlines, but their levels are too low, with the highest being only the Lord bloodline.

After all, these insect guards are not like Shuke's zodiac beasts, which have an abundant number of awakened spirits. Bai Qi does not want to waste his precious insect guard slots on this.

However, in order to speed things up, Bai Qi also contacted the Beast Tamer Association in Leishan City to keep an eye out for the location of the King-level ferocious beast.

"It's already been delivered, but I saw you were very busy, so I didn't want to bother you."

Liu Bei took out an electronic task board and handed it to Bai Qi, saying, "These are the intelligence reports on the King-level ferocious beasts within the areas of Qianjiang City and Leishan City. Some are closer to other cities, but I'm not sure if they've been wiped out."

"Okay, I understand."

Bai Qi took the task board, glanced at it briefly, and then put it away.

"The fusion of No. 3 inactivating toxin and awakening agent is working well. Uncle Liu, why don't you have them try it and see if you can adjust the formula again?"

Bai Qi handed the formula for the No. 3 inactivated toxin and related experimental data to Liu Bei, then stretched and said, "It's been too long since I've been active. I'll go take a stroll around Leishan first. I'll leave the rest to you, Uncle Liu."

"Okay, then please be careful, Chairman."

Liu Bei nodded slightly and smiled, "If you, the guild leader, take action, the beast tamers of this generation in Leishan will probably have nothing to do."

He had heard of Bai Qi's exploits in Gusu City. Although he was working at the research institute, his pet beasts were out hunting wildly. It was only because of the recent beast riots that many beast tamers would probably be out of a job.

"No way, Uncle Liu, you're exaggerating."

Bai Qi, looking completely innocent, took off his research suit and looked at Zhuge Chen beside him, saying, "Zhuge Chen, shall we join?"

"Alright, I was originally planning to take Garuru and the others to train anyway."

Zhuge Chen nodded slightly. He was now a Spirit Master with four pet beasts, each with a stronger bloodline than the last. It would be a waste of these opportunities if he didn't train them properly.

"Alright, let's go then."

Bai Qi snapped his fingers, and Cordyceps immediately understood. It carefully placed the two people on its back, then spread its wings and flew through the opening above its head towards Leishan.

"Being young is truly wonderful!"

Seeing this, a hint of envy flashed in Liu Bei's eyes, but he quickly put on a capable expression and waved to the researchers beside him.

"Immediately assign a team; I need to see satisfactory results within three days!"
