Chapter 435: Little Carp Awakens, Advancement

Five-colored hues appeared on the eggshell, then black, and after that, the gray of the Wild Dragon Snake.

Various colors mixed together and finally merged into one.

Inside the eggshell, the Wild Dragon Snake's body swayed, its small body undulating; each movement caused those lights to fade a bit.

Having absorbed it, the blood was fully absorbed, and the Wild Dragon Snake began to break out of its shell.

A crack appeared on the eggshell, and the tiny head of the Wild Dragon Snake poked out; the little creature warily surveyed the unfamiliar world, its timid pupils scanning around, its gaze landing on Chen Chuyang, feeling that familiar aura, it swayed its body and moved toward Chen Chuyang.

Lie, it appeared on Chen Chuyang's arm, automatically coiled around it, crawling up to his shoulder, where it stayed, looking doubtfully at the Chen Chuyang before him, as if confirming this person's aura and scent.

Chen Chuyang tilted his head, looking at this newly born Wild Dragon Snake, feeling the bloodline connection, sensing that he could fully control this Wild Dragon Snake; he had already placed some measures in advance to secure its allegiance, so as to prevent the Wild Dragon Snake from not recognizing him as its master.

"Hiss."

The Wild Dragon Snake flicked its tongue, its eyes fixed.

Chen Chuyang raised his right hand; the Wild Dragon Snake turned around, crawled onto his palm, supporting the Wild Dragon Snake, Chen Chuyang leaned in to look, using his Spiritual Sense to probe the snake's interior, he sensed something odd, and let out a soft "eh".

"Eh?"

"Has the fusion succeeded? Bloodline mutation?"

Chen Chuyang examined closely, confirming the bloodline mutation; just now the Wild Dragon Snake had used the Void Divine Ability of the Five-Colored Salamander, directly controlling it, the bloodlines merged, causing its bloodline to mutate, gaining the Five-Colored Salamander's Void Divine Ability, though not equal to the Five-Colored Salamander.

However, it also granted it a life-preserving divine ability; the more uncanny the Wild Dragon Snake, the happier Chen Chuyang became.

"I don't know if the Heishanyang's bloodline has fused successfully."

Chen Chuyang took out the blood and meat he had prepared in advance and let it eat as it pleased.

The Wild Dragon Snake first ate its own eggshell, then went on to eat those blood and meat.

It swallowed everything whole; its tiny body consumed food a hundred times its size, yet it was not burst at all.

On the contrary, it still wasn't enough; gulping it down in one mouthful, its appearance resembled that of a Heishanyang.

Chen Chuyang narrowed his eyes: "Indeed, the Wild Dragon Snake can indeed fuse other bloodlines; the probability of this is very low."

After the two bloodlines finished fusing, Chen Chuyang found this quite astonishing.

He also thought his luck was good; after a slight test, he hadn't expected it to really succeed.

Having finished all the blood and meat, the little creature was unsatisfied, lifted its head, looked toward Chen Chuyang, and signaled him to bring out more food.

"Greedy little creature, its appetite is truly huge."

Chen Chuyang then took out a demon beast carcass for it to eat.

The Wild Dragon Snake opened its mouth and swallowed it whole, no chewing needed.

It gave the feeling of a small horse pulling a large cart; very… frightening.

After eating and drinking its fill, the Wild Dragon Snake returned to hang on Chen Chuyang's arm, coiling around it.

"Little creature, want to try a pill?"

He took out a Dragon Yang Great Pill and handed it to the Wild Dragon Snake.

The Wild Dragon Snake saw the pill before it, sniffed it, its body grew a size larger, hesitated a moment, then opened its mouth and swallowed the Dragon Yang Great Pill.

After swallowing it, the Wild Dragon Snake immediately closed its eyes, coiled around Chen Chuyang, and fell asleep.

Its body continued to expand; this growth rate was terrifying.

Once it reached a certain extent, it stopped growing and then began to shrink.

It could automatically control its body size; this talent, this ability, is truly powerful.

Chen Chuyang had seen many demon beasts, none comparable to the Wild Dragon Snake before him.

Upon checking the Wild Dragon Snake again, Chen Chuyang's contract with it remained, growing ever more steadfast.

There will be no problems; inside the Wild Dragon Snake's body, changes are occurring, the effect of the Dragon Yang Great Pill is sealed within its body, slowly digesting the pill's medicinal potency—a smart approach, not simply eating it outright.

Like Chen Chuyang, it seals the Wild Dragon Snake's inner core inside its body, gradually using that inner core to alter its own constitution.

The change in constitution, the advancement of the foundation, all require accumulation, subtle and gradual.

Not… a direct change.

"Just born, and it fell into a slumber."

"The mutated Wild Dragon Snake's bloodline and potential are even more terrifying than its mother's."

"In the future, it may be possible to transform into a dragon."

Chen Chuyang greatly anticipated and also hoped the Wild Dragon Snake would transform into a dragon.

However, this process requires many resources.

On Longshe Shan, there are several pets; each consumes a huge amount daily, and adding the Wild Dragon Snake, this big-eater, gives Chen Chuyang a headache.

The Heishanyang is a big-eater, indifferent to meat or vegetables, eating anything.

The Wild Dragon Snake is likewise, even more so, eating an even more varied diet.

The little carp also needs to awaken; once awakened and advancement completed, it too will require many resources.

So far, the resources spent on the little carp are the least, yet its effect is the greatest, bringing Chen Chuyang immense luck blessings; this alone surpasses other demon beasts.

As for the Five-Colored Salamander, it is temporarily left at the bottom of the fish pond; the resources it needs it finds on its own, requiring no help from Chen Chuyang; this is actually a good thing.

However, resources must be prepared in advance; one cannot lack them when the time comes.

"Ah, my head hurts."

"Having many pets is also not a good thing."

Maintaining the vast Longshe Shan, plus all those people, their expenses are all his.

Thinking of this, Chen Chuyang's head hurt even more.

No one can be exploited; Hu Yueer and the two others have nothing, not worth him scheming against.

Liu Yuer and her daughter; on the third uncle's side, part can be subsidized.

Once Zhang Nongqian learns pill refining, she can become self-sufficient and also subsidize Longshe Shan.

Xiao Qianer needs to be cultivated quickly; let her learn pill refining early; when she grows up, she must know how to make money.

Shang Hongxue this girl is also a big consumer; she is my woman, no matter how much she consumes, there's no problem; moreover, the benefits this little girl brings are greater than anyone else's.

Also Chen Qinger's cousin; this cousin has been staying on the mountain for a long time; it's about time...

Forget it, forget it, they're all our own people; let it be as is.

Medicinal pills, need to refine more.

Third Uncle's side hopes for good news.

Chen Chuyang walked out of the room; above Yu Tang, spiritual energy gathered.

Shang Hongxue came running, panting, and said: "Chuyang brother, there's movement over at Yu Tang; go check it out."

I saw it.

Chen Chuyang grabbed Shang Hongxue's hand, with a swoosh disappeared, then reappeared, already standing at the edge of Yu Tang.

Shang Hongxue looked at Chuyang brother doubtfully; this move, she seems never to have seen before.

Hum

At the bottom of Yu Tang, the small carp's body gradually emerged, inhaling and exhaling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Its body began to swell, and the layer of scales on it quickly shed.

It shed off alive, shedding with fresh blood.

The bright red blood stained a corner of Yu Tang.

The Five-Colored Salamander swayed its body, swallowing this blood, cannot be wasted.

The other spirit fish dare not approach, and cannot compete with the Five-Colored Salamander.
