Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 620: Chapter 615: Awakening Elixir

“Reviving a myth? Uncle Liu, are you sure you’re not mistaken?”

Bai Qi looked shocked. Mythical creatures had disappeared from the mainland thousands, if not tens of thousands, of years ago. The Bing Yu Branch actually wanted to revive them?

“Of course I’m not mistaken, but what we want to resurrect is not a complete mythical creature, but only its mythical bloodline.”

Seeing Bai Qi’s expression, Liu Bei couldn’t help but laugh and explain.

“Resurrect a mythical species? And here I thought you wanted to resurrect mythical creatures.”

Bai Qi finally understood, then continued to inquire, “But aren’t mythical species quite rare? How does the Bing Yu Branch plan to resurrect them?”

Liu Bei smiled slightly and said, “Let’s talk about that inside.”

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

“It seems Sir Nicholas has sensed it.”

Seeing this, Liu Bei was not surprised. He, Bai Qi, and Zhuge Chen followed and finally arrived at a circular corridor.

Through the transparent windows of the corridor, there was a huge courtyard, and in the center of the courtyard was a towering tree over fifty meters high.

This tree was incredibly lush. Even using the naked eye, you could feel the vigorous life emanating from each leaf. Mysterious patterns covered the trunk, making it look like it was covered in scales from a distance.

And under the tree, some workers were extracting something from the tree.

“This tree is …”

Bai Qi looked at Liu Bei and asked.

“We found it in Thunder Mountain, it was originally stored in the Bing Yu Martial Arts Hall, but a few days ago, this tree started growing wildly again, so we moved it to the Bing Yu Branch.”

“Found in Thunder Mountain?”

Bai Qi and Nicholas exchanged glances, seeming to realize something.

This Thunder Mountain, it really was special.

“Yes, Thunder Mountain is wrapped in a thick natural force all year round, causing plant and insect species type and quantity to be particularly diverse. In contrast, other creatures are relatively rare.”

Liu Bei said, “Our Bing Yu Group and the Cang Zhe Academy have both sent people there to explore, and this tree is one of our findings.”

Speaking of this, Liu Bei paused and said, “Speaking of which, our research project is actually related to this tree.”

“Huh?”

Bai Qi was a little surprised, and Liu Bei led them into an elevator, going down to the base of the tree.

From above, they couldn’t see the details, but once they got close to the tree, Bai Qi realized that it was even bigger than he had imagined.

Collection, extraction, purification, classification, detection…

All these project’s work was set up near the tree, greatly enhancing research efficiency. The busy researchers didn’t pay any attention to the newcomers, immersed in their work.

“The task of this team is to extract the juice from this tree and purify it, then send it to another area for formulation.”

Liu Bei explained, “Although it’s called formulation, it’s just adding a tiny amount of compound to guide the energy here.”

“So, what’s the purpose of this tree’s juice?”

Smelling the sweet fragrance of the juice, Bai Qi became increasingly curious.

“This extract can stimulate the potential of transcendent creatures to a certain extent, cultivate the origin of life, and when it’s combined with the super God evolution compound, it shows the effect of stimulating hidden bloodlines.”

Liu Bei patiently explains, and Bai Qi finally understood.

“So Uncle Liu, you guys plan to use this extract to activate the hidden mythical bloodline inside transcendent creatures?”

“Yes, exactly.”

Liu Bei nods and says, “In fact, our Bing Yu Group started similar research a long time ago, but it didn’t yield any results until the Super God Evolution Research Institute helped.”

“I see.”

Bai Qi understood. If this research was successful, wouldn’t it mean that the Federation could have mythical pets for the entire population?

Speaking of which, this was somewhat similar to the pursuit of the Immortal Insect Emperor, which was to resurrect those ancient bloodlines that should have disappeared in the river of time.

“But, we did encounter some problems.”

A trace of helplessness appeared on Liu Bei’s face, saying, “The natural power contained in this extract is too strong. Even if we dilute it, some specimens show signs of plantification after injection.”

“Plantification?”

Bai Qi was a bit puzzled, but Nicholas seemed to notice something. He walked around the large tree to the back and saw a few strangely shaped pets in some glass rooms.

These pets were all different species, but there was one commonality: different parts of their bodies showed plant-like characteristics to varying degrees.

Some grew bark, some sprouted branches and leaves, and the most severe one even had half of its body turned into a tree.

“Is it because the bloodline of the body couldn’t resist the invasion of the natural energy and got parasitized by the plants?”

Bai Qi looked at Liu Bei, who confirmed, saying, “Indeed it is. These extracts treated these creatures as their culture and grew into new individuals.”

“Although this only happened in a few cases, if we want to promote this as a formal research result, we must solve this problem.”

Bai Qi slightly nodded, carefully examining the plantified pets, asking, “Uncle Liu, have you tried using it on plant-based pets?”

“Of course we tried, but unfortunately, those affected and the severity of the effects were even higher for the plant-type animals. Some were even directly assimilated into the same species as the parent.”

Liu Bei felt a bit regretful as he explained.

“I see…”

Bai Qi turned his head to look at the big tree and asked Nicholas, “Nicholas, is this tree’s Power of Nature related to the Green Dragon?”

“It’s a bit like it, but it shouldn’t be.”

Nicholas picked up a bottle of extract, took a sniff, and then unexpectedly drained it all in one gulp.

“Sir Nicholas, that’s too risky!”

Upon seeing this, Liu Bei panicked. What Nicholas had just swallowed was a pure extract of a very high concentration. If Nicholas also started to manifest traits of the Plant Attribute, the blame would fall squarely on him.

“It’s okay. I am, after all, a Green Dragon. This bit of Power of Nature can’t affect me,” Nicholas said as he smacked his lips, seemingly still yearning for more. “If my hunch isn’t wrong, this stuff can’t affect creatures with the Emperor-bloodline, and its impact on King Creatures isn’t significant either. If they also have control over the Power of Nature, they could even use it as a supplement. Those below them, however, might be affected.”

Upon hearing Nicholas’s words, Liu Bei heaved a sigh of relief and explained, “We also conducted experiments on King Creatures. The impact was indeed minimal, if not nonexistent. But since we only conducted a few experiments, we aren’t entirely sure of its specific effect.”

“As for creatures with the Emperor-bloodline, we have truly never attempted.”

Upon hearing these words, Nicholas nonchalantly waved his hand, picked up another bottle from the side and began to taste it. He said: “Creatures with an Emperor-bloodline have more or less a stable bloodline. They wouldn’t be affected. But if you want to awaken a Mythical bloodline, it’s basically impossible, so there’s no need to try.”

“I see, thank you, Sir Nicholas, for the reminder.”

Upon hearing his words, Liu Bei understood; a researcher standing by him immediately noted down Nicholas’s words.

“But Uncle Liu, you just said that the failures were only a minority. Where are the successful ones?”

Bai Qi looked around curiously but didn’t see any successful products.

“This is the experiment area. The successful products have already been sent to the testing zone for combat training,” Liu Bei said as he led the group onto an elevator, headed for the next area.

“Chief, what brings you here?”

As they stepped out of the elevator, Bai Qi saw a tall, ruddy-faced man walking towards them. It was Guan Qing, whom Bai Qi had once had a battle with.

“Guan Qing, you have come at just the right moment. Give them a demonstration of the effectiveness of the Awakening Potion,” Liu Bei said.

“Awakening Potion? Is that the name of that extract?”

“Correct, our main aim in studying this extract is to awaken a Mythical bloodline and to awaken the abilities hidden within transcendent creatures. So, we named it accordingly,” said Liu Bei as he pointed to the direction of the tree, “including that tree. We named it after ‘Awakening.'”

“The Tree of Awakening, very appropriate,” Bai Qi said with a slight nod. If it could indeed awaken Mythical bloodlines as Liu Bei claimed, then the name would be apt.

“Dean, long time no see.”

Seeing Bai Qi conversing casually with Liu Bei, Guan Qing extended his hand to Bai Qi, revealing the six Rune Marks on the back of his hand.

“Guan Qing, you’re at the Sixth Stage? Congratulations, congratulations!”

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi immediately congratulated him, but Guan Qing’s expression was somewhat strange.

When they fought in the martial arts hall, Bai Qi had just advanced to the Fifth Stage not long ago, while he was constantly on the verge of advancing to the Sixth Stage. In contrast, Guan Qing was lagging behind Bai Qi.

Although he knew Bai Qi was exceptionally gifted, Guan Qing still felt somewhat frustrated.@@novelbin@@

“All right, let’s go and see the effects of the Awakening Potion first. One of our successful cases in experimenting on King Creatures is Guan Qing’s Moon Worshiper,” Liu Bei said with a smile, while Bai Qi immediately became interested and followed Liu Bei to the combat zone.

Guan Qing walked to the center of the filed and saw Bai Qi expectantly glancing around. He then summoned his pet.

“Let me introduce you. This is my pet, the Emperor Creature, Crescent Guard.”

Guan Qing pointed at a massive tree by his side and said, “After consuming the Awakening Potion, my Moon Worshiper successfully awakened its Mythical bloodline and advanced to the Emperor Creature, Crescent Guard.”

“Awakened a Mythical bloodline?”

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

[Name]: Crescent Guard

[Nature]: Plant Attribute (Mythical)

[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Emperor

…

“It’s indeed a Mythical Species.”

Withdrawing his hand, Bai Qi grew even more interested in the Awakening Potion.

“Guan Qing, would you mind showing me Crescent Guard’s combat power?”

“Of course.”

Guan Qing nodded slightly, issued a command to the Crescent Guard, who then nodded. The tree canopy above its head gently swayed, and a crescent moon appeared. Moonlight poured down and transformed into several arcs of moonlight in mid-air. They struck the distant targets accurately, easily shattering them, and the display on the side also showed the results of Crescent Guard’s attack.

“That casual attack… It’s on par with High-stage Skills?”

“A Mythical bloodline is indeed strong!”

Wei Qi’s eyes lit up. He looked at Liu Bei and asked, “Uncle Liu, can you give me some Awakening Potion?”
