After leaving the Tower of Knowledge, Bai Qi went straight to the Green Dragon Secret Realm.
You have to strike while the iron is hot. He had just exchanged for the Phoenix Feather, and there was no reason to keep it in his hand for appreciation. It was natural to convert it into actual combat power in time.
However, Alpha had been stuck at the High-grade Lord for a long time. This time’s evolution might let Alpha directly evolve to the King-level, and the physical exertion might exceed his endurance limit. It was safer to stay near Nicholas.
When Bai Qi entered Jade Valley, he saw Nicholas, who had transformed into human form, sitting in the center of the valley, occasionally picking some branches and leaves from the nearby flowers and plants, fiddling with something.
Bai Qi approached curiously and, upon seeing the teacups in front of Nicholas, couldn’t help but ask, “What are you doing?”
Hearing Bai Qi’s voice, Nicholas immediately looked up and said, “Bai Qi, your timing is just right. Can you help me taste which cup of tea is the best?”
Bai Qi picked up one of the teacups, looking at the plant roots inside still carrying soil, his eyebrows twitching slightly, he said, “You call this thing tea?” “Isn’t it?”
Nicholas asked somewhat surprised, “I investigated, an ancient country in the far east likes to use some plant’s branches and leaves soaked in water as tea. As the Wingless Dragon, Older Sister should love this kind of hometown stuff.” Brewing for Old Lady Fan? Had he forgotten the pain of his healed wound and his nature of flattery revived?
Moreover, where did you go to investigate right after leaving the realm yesterday?
“Heh, I suggest you better not give this stuff to Old Lady Fan, or you might get killed on the spot.”
Bai Qi placed the teacup down and gave Nicholas some honest advice.
“Does Older Sister not like tea? Hmm, should I prepare a fruit platter instead? Or fry some vegetarian dishes?”
Nicholas paused at his words, pushed aside the bunch of teacups in front of him, retrieved a recipe book from somewhere, and started studying it seriously. This level of diligence… was the flattery of dragons always this terrifying?
Bai Qi sighed helplessly, “Put this aside for now, come and lend me a hand.” “Help?”
Nicholas looked up curiously, “Your beast is evolving again? Didn’t I already give you the Green Dragon’s Scales?”
Bai Qi shrugged, “Isn’t it because I’m afraid the Green Dragon’s Scales can’t hold up? It’s safer with you around.”
“But I still have to prepare breakfast for Older Sister…”
“I’ll ask Old Lady Fan about her eating habits for you later!”
“Let’s get started, I’m prepared.”
Seeing Nicholas agreed, Bai Qi summoned Alpha, took out the Phoenix Feather, and said, “Alpha, try this first and see if it has any adverse effects on you.”
While it was true that there were undead creatures with fire attributes, such as Hellfire and his Fire Armor Corpse, Bai Qi was still a little worried about using the mythical level resource, the Phoenix Feather.
Creak, creak.
Alpha nodded, opened the crystal box, and gently touched the Phoenix Feather with a fingertip.
In an instant, a demonic red flame appeared on Alpha’s fingertip, spreading along the finger towards Alpha’s skull.
Shoot, this really is dangerous!
Seeing this, Bai Qi’s heart clenched and a huge serpent shadow darted out from Alpha’s body, biting the flame to try to extinguish it.
However, this flame seemed completely unafraid of the soul image of Orochi, even when on its head it did not go out, its flames only grew.
Seeing this, Alpha quickly drew the Sword of Death and cut off Orochi’s head. The demonic red flame separated, burning its head completely before slowly fading away.
“The Phoenix Feather is really somewhat dangerous.”
Looking at Orochi that lost a head due to being burned by the flame, Bai Qi roughly grasped the uniqueness of this material.
“No wonder Master Xiang reminded me to find materials to neutralize the fire of the Phoenix Feather, with such burning power, apart from fire attribute creatures, I guess few can withstand it,” said Bai Qi after a moment of contemplation, then began to sketch with a pen and paper.
“Bai Qi, what are you drawing? Didn’t you say we are evolving first?”
Nicholas, who was eager to prepare breakfast for Old Lady Fan, saw Bai Qi dawdling and started to urge him impatiently.
“Hold on, I’m designing a rune system for storing heat first.”
The fire of the Phoenix Feather was too strong. Without some form of mitigation, even with the Evolution Egg, Bai Qi was still a bit worried.
After all, the main reason Alpha was able to integrate the Power of Death, besides relying on the Evolution Egg, was also because Alpha itself already mastered the closely related Withering Power. Otherwise, apart from Gamma with his physical mutations, it was really hard to find other beasts that could resist it this harshly.
But to let Bai Qi weaken the effect of the Phoenix Feather before integration, he felt a bit heartbroken.
After all, this was a feather of a Phoenix. Weakening a bit would lose a bit, what if Alpha also acquired a similar escape from death kind of skill like Golden Cicada Shelling?
Soon, a complete energy storage structure was completed under Bai Qi’s hands.
“Alpha, try it out first.”
Creak, creak.
(Alright.)
Alpha nodded, extending a crystal bone to carve the rune Bai Qi had just designed onto it, then once again he touched the Phoenix Feather.
It was still the seductive red flame, but it did not spread as quickly as before. Instead, it slowly began to merge into the rune structure.
However, this state only lasted a short while before the seductive red flames surged and burned again.
“It can store some energy, but the time period is a bit short.”
Bai Qi rubbing his chin, made another modification to the rune structure and then asked Alpha to continue experimenting.
After trying dozens of times, Bai Qi finally designed a structure capable of storing the Phoenix’s fire for a longer time.
“But where should I engrave this rather large structure?”
Gazing at the finally formed rune structure, Bai Qi scratched his head. Looking at the Gravity Sword and the Sword of Death on Alpha’s back, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind.
“If ‘Frost Sorrow’ has turned into the ‘Sword of Death’, then let’s go with ‘Fire Joy’.”
No sooner had the thought come then Bai Qi immediately began to sketch a large sword on the outer edge of the rune structure. Its resemblance to Frost Sorrow was uncanny, except the demonic goat head carving had been replaced with a hollow feather design by him.
After careful inspection, Bai Qi confirmed there were no problems and handed the blueprint to Alpha, then calling Gamma forward.
Now that Gamma had Life Energy Conversion, he could channel energy into others if the Green Dragon Scale couldn’t cope, then Gamma could give it a try first.
If it worked, they wouldn’t have to worry about sudden evolution in the future when Nicholas wasn’t there.
“Alpha, make a sword like this, then put the Phoenix Feather into it.”
Alpha nodded, and a stick-to-scale crystal sword was formed, then quickly picked up the Phoenix Feather and placed it into the hollow part of the great sword.
In an instant, the seductive red flames burned fiercely, but they were soon sucked into the great sword. The originally transparent Crystal Great Sword gradually turned a seductive red.
Seeing this, Bai Qi immediately placed his right hand on Alpha, activating the Evolution Egg.
As Bai Qi had predicted, the moment Bai Qi activated the Evolution Egg, the familiar feeling of physical exhaustion attacked him from all over his body. The Green Dragon’s scales in his chest lit up, continuously transmitting the life force into his body.
Even so, Bai Qi’s condition didn’t improve.
The Evolution Egg was absorbing his physical strength too quickly this time, and the rate of delivery from the Green Dragon’s scales was obviously not keeping up.
“Gamma!”
Bai Qi, sensing something was wrong, immediately roared. Gamma immediately landed on Bai Qi, activating Life Energy Conversion, and continued to channel energy into Bai Qi’s body.
But Bai Qi still felt his body weakening, although slowly, judging from the condensation of the Golden Egg, it was clear that he wouldn’t be able to hold out until the formation of the Golden Egg.
“Nicholas, it’s still your turn.”
Bai Qi quickly called for Nicholas’s help. Nicholas, who was eager to find Old Lady Fan, didn’t hesitate and placed one hand on Bai Qi’s shoulder, steadily supplying him with the Jade Power.
With Nicholas’ support, Bai Qi’s condition immediately improved. The Golden Egg quickly solidified and enclosed Alpha within it.
Simultaneously, Bai Qi felt a sudden burn on the Curse Mark on the back of his left hand, an unknown energy flowed from Alpha towards Bai Qi through the Curse Mark.
Such a reaction right from the beginning of the evolution, is it special because it’s a king level?
Feeling the continual flow of energy from Alpha, Bai Qi simply sat down in meditation, adapting to this energy silently.
Seeing that Bai Qi seemed to be out of danger, Nicholas finally stopped his energy supply and returned to his research on Old Lady Fan’s snack.
“Hmm, she’s probably done with breakfast by now, I should start preparing lunch…”
Looking at the splendid dishes on the menu, Nicholas was filled with vigor. He fumbled out some cooking utensils from who knows where and started fussing about in the kitchen.
As time passed, Nicholas carefully placed a carved flower onto the plate. After carefully checking the placement, he sighed in relief.
“One hundred and eight dishes, that should be enough for her.”
Looking at the day’s work in front of him, Nicholas nodded contentedly, preserving the freshness with Jade Breath, then planned to deliver these dishes to Old Lady Fan.
“The evolution is taking some time. Still, I suppose I should deliver the food to her first.”
Just as Nicholas, glancing at the still quiet Golden Egg, was about to leave, the surrounding space suddenly darkened. The land, plants, and even the surrounding energy gradually lost its vitality.
“This is… a King’s field?”
Nicholas immediately reacted. A larger green space suddenly appeared, dispelling the effects of the black field.
At the same time, Bai Qi, who had been quietly receiving feedback from Alpha, also opened his eyes, his gaze fixed intently on the Golden Egg in front of him. Is the first King-level coming?
