Chapter 323: Chapter 219: The Mythical Bloodline of the Caterpillar Fungus

After confirming that his four pets were unharmed, Bai Qi started to check on the condition of the marigold.

Compared to the Golden Egg, the Platinum Egg took longer to maintain, so Bai Qi couldn’t ascertain the condition of the marigold for a while. However, judging from the feedback of the contract, the marigold should be in good shape.

“Could it directly evolve Alpha to King-level?”

Bai Qi daydreamed involuntarily. The marigold was originally a fusion of two high-grade Lord creatures. Boosting it with a catalyst to promote straight to King-level seemed not impossible.

“Ahhh… I really want to break the eggshell and see what’s inside.”

Bai Qi smacked his lips, suddenly thought of something, and quickly ran back to the biology building to inspect the ancient species embryos he got from his parents.

Just like at the Jiuli Group, no matter what tests Delta performed on this egg, the result was always the same — it showed no signs of life.

Jerry sniffed the fossil egg and said, “I can feel a faint soul inside the egg, but it won’t last long.”

“It has already developed a soul?”

Bai Qi was pleasantly surprised at this. No wonder he felt something different about this egg – it already had a soul.

“Is there any way to bring it back to life?”

Faced with Bai Qi’s expectant gaze, Jerry shook his head and said, “I am only capable of sensing the existence of a soul. I can’t do anything else.”

“Alright.”

Bai Qi sighed regretfully. He almost forgot that Jerry was a new personality split from Beta’s consciousness. What Beta didn’t know, he naturally didn’t know either.

Boo Boo.

(Master, shall I give it a try?)

Delta walked over to a storage box nearby, took out a bottle of green potion, and brought it to Bai Qi.

“No. 5 Compound? What’s that?”

Bai Qi curiously took the No. 5 Compound and looking at the label, he asked.

(This was actually researched by your parents using the blood of the Ancestral Beast. It’s a kind of catalyst that can increase the adaptability and integration of pet cells.)

“Hmm… Could you simplify that?”

(It can aid in evolution and increase the chances of other pets evolving.)

Bai Qi was astonished. He didn’t expect his parents to have researched something like this – an evolution aid, it was somewhat similar to his Evolution Egg.

“Could this thing help the ancient species resurrect?”

Boo Boo.

(This catalyst can help ancient species adapt to the current environment. Theoretically, it can.)

Delta nodded and then activated a computer next to him, displaying all of his research data for Bai Qi.

The level of expertise was comparable to a biological expert.

(But this was made from my own blood, and I have made some minor modifications. This is the fifth version, so it’s called No. 5 Compound.)

“Oh my, you’re trying to outsmart your beast master.”

Bai Qi stared in astonishment at Delta’s research report. The core content was about the reason the Ancestral Beast could evolve freely, and Delta’s guess was similar to Bai Yan and Luo Zhu’s.

In addition to the preservation of the original gene sequence of the Ancestral Beast, the Ancestral Beast can secrete a substance to promote their integration with other energies and substances.

(Since the embryo still contains a soul, it might be possible to use the No. 5 Compound to stimulate the vitality of the embryo, though I haven’t experimented with it, so I don’t know if it will work.)

“No worries, we can give it a shot.”

Bai Qi waved his hands. According to Jerry, the soul inside this embryo will dissipate soon, so he was willing to give it a shot. Maybe there were still some chances of resurrection.

“But, can a fossil embryo be injected?”

Looking at the ancient species embryo with its surface still resembling a fossil, Bai Qi couldn’t help scratching his head.

“Shall we soak it first and see?”

As soon as he thought of it, he told Delta to get all the remaining No. 5 Compound. He poured it into the culture box, and carefully placed the ancient species embryo into it.

The green potion quickly submerged the fossil egg, and bubbles emerged. Apart from that, there were no other movements.

On the contrary, there was some fluctuation on the nearby life detection device.

“It seems like it might work!”

Bai Qi was thrilled to see this. The signal was weak, but life was indeed detected in the fossil egg.

In other words, Delta’s research was a success.

“The No. 5 Compound is indeed amazing, Delta.”

Bai Qi patted Delta’s head. His pet’s intelligence was truly ahead of the others. His learning ability was even matching that of a beast master.

“Wait a second, Delta, didn’t you mention earlier that the No. 5 compound can assist the Ancestral Beasts to integrate with external energy? Is that correct?”

Boo Boo.

(Theoretically, yes.)

“Can it also be used to promote mechanobiological fusion?”

Delta remained silent. He had only conducted the research to find out the evolutionary principle of the Ancestral Beast, to find why he couldn’t maintain his evolved form for long. He hadn’t considered this perspective.

“What the hell, let’s give it a shot.”

Bai Qi was suddenly intrigued and decided to try immediately.

Crack.

At this moment, a sound of eggshell cracking entered Bai Qi’s ears. His eyes lit up, and he immediately ran next to the Platinum Egg of the marigold.

He thought it would be a long time before the marigold would wake up, but he didn’t expect it to happen so soon.

At this moment, a crack had appeared on the Platinum Egg, and a soft sunlight was peeking out of the crack. Looking at it, it was as if dawn had just broken.

Seeing this, Bai Qi couldn’t help but smirk. This feeling, although it was incomparable to the Sun Beetle shell, the aura was indeed of the same origin.

The cracks gradually increased, and the seeping sun rays became more and more dazzling.

Finally, the Platinum Eggs burst open, revealing a miniature sun before their eyes, making it difficult for Bai Qi to even keep his eyes open.

As the golden light finally dissipated, a beetle with a golden body and two colorful tentacles on its head appeared before them.

“Epsilon?”

Gazing at the significantly transformed beetle, Bai Qi questioned somewhat uncertainly.

Hearing Bai Qi’s query, the beetle seemed to awaken from a dream and immediately ran to Bai Qi.

“Leader, do you have any orders?”

His thoughts were alright.

Bai Qi nodded satisfactorily and said, “How do you feel right now? Have you gained any inherited memories or the like?”

“Inheritance?”

The beetle seemed a little bewildered, after trying to meditate and comprehend, it opened its mouth a little hesitantly, “It seems like there is, but it seems like there isn’t…”

Hearing this, Bai Qi’s eyes twitched, too lazy to inquire further, he directly put his hand on the beetle.

[Skill Name]: Sun Wheel

[Skill Level]: Transcendent Level

[Skill Description]: As a manifestation of the sun in the world, creatures possessing the Sun Wheel can directly obtain energy from the sun to enhance themselves. As long as the sun doesn’t die out, life is inexhaustible.

…

Transcendent Skill!

He originally thought that only Alpha would gain a Transcendent Skill at Lord level, but he hadn’t expected the beetle to also enjoy this privilege.

Mythical creatures, truly terrifying.

“So this is the skill acquired from a mythical creature?”

Bai Qi smacked his lips, ‘As long as the sun doesn’t die out, life is inexhaustible.’

Isn’t this just a version of the powered-up insect?

Uh, wouldn’t the analogy invite a beating?

Let’s try again, it should be photosynthesis in the insect world.

Bai Qi scratched his head. The description of this skill was very simple, but considering its transcendent-level rank, he figured the effect should not be bad.

“Just sunbathing can slowly enhance oneself, this is just a standard feature of daydreaming.”

Bai Qi looked at the beetle somewhat enviously. However, it’s a pity that this was the Beast Master World. If it had been some other world, this ability would have been great for surviving.

Start with Sun Wheel, can I level up while laying down?

“However, even mythical creatures couldn’t allow you to evolve. Should I say you’re unlucky, or was the Sun Beetle shell insufficient?”

Seeing Bai Qi’s disappointed expression, the beetle hurriedly explained, “Sorry, Leader, the energy from the Sun Beetle shell was just too strong, I simply couldn’t absorb all of it. It seems all of that energy was used to modify my bloodline.”

“Modify your bloodline?”

Bai Qi was momentarily startled, only then noticing the suffix ‘Mythical Species’ added to the beetle’s nature column.

“Moreover, it seems like I have gained some memories, but I haven’t had time to digest them, so…”

The beetle cautiously glanced at Bai Qi and said, “But I will work hard to digest them and strive to apply these memories.”

Modify the bloodline, memories.

Isn’t this the bloodline inheritance only legendary bloodlines like Nicholas have?

“It’s fine, haste makes waste, you can digest them slowly, try not to waste this inheritance.”

Bai Qi pat the beetle’s head, though it hadn’t directly advanced to the King-level, being able to elevate its bloodline to that of a Mythical Species improved its potential strength, which was pretty good.

Speaking of which, the dream of a Mythical Species had come true much faster than he had thought, and it turned out to be his fifth contracted pet.

“However, it seems like we’ve found a way to acquire the mythical bloodline.”

Bai Qi grinned, acquiring the mythical species’ bloodline just by blending the tissue of mythical creatures, that was incredibly simple!

He had to ask Instructor Luo if there were any other secret territories related to mythical creatures later. Maybe he could also enhance the bloodlines of Alpha and the others.

“Ah, the gains are bountiful, truly bountiful.”

Husky had evolved into a King-level, and the beetle had gotten a Mythical Species and had also prematurely mastered a transcendent skill. The gains this time were indeed abundant.

“Everyone, rest for a while, and let’s ask the teacher about the Death Round Table after the dust settles tomorrow.”

Bai Qi rubbed his temples, put a Platinum Egg on each of his five pets, then returned to his own room to sleep soundly.

Experiencing so many battles in one day, plus the consumption of setting eggs, he was indeed a bit exhausted.
