Chapter 38: Fusion, Water Phantom Spirit Armor! (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

Both furnaces were completely refined, yielding six pills, none with pill patterns.

Yu Zhangsheng kept four pills, and gave the remaining two to Xi Wenyou for delivery.

"Alchemist Luo truly has great skill, to refine them in just two days, hahaha."

Xi Wenyou was very happy; such a difficult special pill could actually be formed, and publicizing it would greatly boost First Grade Medicine Hall's reputation, so he gave an extra hundred spirit stones.

Yu Zhangsheng received six hundred low-grade spirit stones, and sighed inwardly — his money pouch was full again; alchemy really is a great way to make money!

Of course, the main reason was still Gongsun Yang's help; otherwise, relying on himself alone, researching the Scatter Demon Yuan Pill would have taken at least several days, and might even have cost a failed batch.

Having a good master is more important than anything.

Returning to the wooden hut, Yu Zhangsheng summoned the Chi She Wang, and casually fed it one Zengling Pill.

【You successfully fed a Chi She Wang, consumed Zengling Pill*1, gained reward 56 essence points, trace mana】

The Zengling Pill's effect is inferior to the Zengqi Pill, and it is not a pill specifically for promoting demonic beast cultivation; for the Chi She Wang now at First Rank Seventh Layer, its effect is already gradually weakening.

Fortunately, Yu Zhangsheng can use quantity to raise it; as long as the quantity is sufficient, the Chi She Wang's realm will sooner or later be smashed to First Rank Peak by him.

"This trace mana is about the same as before; from now on, feeding the Chi She Wang will mainly use Zengqi Pills, while Zengling Pills will be used more to nurture the Iron Eagle King — its realm is only First Rank Four Layers, it should be raised."

The Iron Eagle King's bloodline defect has now been repaired; it is time to include it in the nurturing plan.

But Yu Zhangsheng will certainly give the better resources to the Chi She Wang first.

Who told it to have higher comprehension? "You, you must cultivate more from now on, don't think I didn't see you slacking off in the Inner Landscape — five hours a day, at least three hours spent loafing!"

Yu Zhangsheng unpromisingly knocked on its head.

The Chi She Wang hurriedly put on a repentant look, but its writhing body, lacking any guilty expression, had already betrayed its inner thoughts.

Yu Zhangsheng sighed, knowing it had already worked much harder than before; he only hoped it would work even harder.

Otherwise always relying on him to cheat — what meaning would your snake life have?

"This is the Second Rank First Layer demonic beast I bought for you, the Water Phantom Spirit Python's corpse."

Seeing this Water Phantom Spirit Python corpse with blue scales and graceful lines, the Chi She Wang's eyes brightened; it immediately opened its mouth wide, exhaled, its snake tongue hissing.

Like a hunting dog impatient to charge forward.

Ever since last time it ate the Poison Spirit Python corpse and gained a poison pill, able to release toxins, the Chi She Wang had tasted the sweetness.

Fortunately it also knows the rules; before Yu Zhangsheng spoke, it endured that restless heart.

Yu Zhangsheng was very satisfied with its attitude; obedient spirit beasts are often endearing.

His palm stroked the Chi She Wang's head.

【Fusion Ancestor】

【Success rate: Chi She Wang + Water Phantom Spirit Python corpse = 89%】

【Cost: 2210 essence】

The success rate is 10% lower than when fusing the Poison Spirit Python.

It seems Second Rank First Layer has already exceeded the Chi She Wang's fusion range; if it were Second Rank Second Layer or Third Layer, the probability would likely be even lower.

Yu Zhangsheng's gaze turned deep; the essence was sufficient, just right.

But this 89% probability seems a bit unstable! Wait for the Chi She Wang's realm to rise a bit more before trying? He thought of the upcoming Sect Selection, and his heart firmed — 89% is already very high, it's not a Penguin lottery, what is there to fear! Even if it fails, with the Chi She Wang's current realm at most it would be Yuan Qi Shang Shang! Gamble a gamble, bicycle turns into motorcycle! "Eat! Show some spirit!"

Yu Zhangsheng patted the Chi She Wang's head, and simultaneously his mind moved, activating Fusion Ancestor. The Chi She Wang excitedly pounced on the Water Phantom Spirit Python corpse, coiled around it, and began devouring from the other's head, bit by bit disappearing into its blood-basin mouth.

"Gulu lu!"

Its belly was stretched very large, because the Water Phantom Spirit Python's volume was no smaller than it.

Yu Zhangsheng watching from the side felt a bit afraid, fearing its stomach would burst.

But the Chi She Wang bit by bit contracted its abdomen, finally swallowing the entire corpse, then lay on the ground unable to move.

It flicked its snake tongue, expression pained; the vast demonic power surging from its abdomen was impacting its flesh and blood.

Fortunately the process is painful, the result is beautiful.

Several hours later, its belly finally shrank down, and Yu Zhangsheng also saw the system pop up a message.

【Fusion complete】

【Result: Chi She Wang gains water attribute, can spray water arrows from mouth, use demonic power to control water, strength increases in water, scales gain Water Phantom Spirit Python's talent spell — Water Phantom Spirit Armor, able to immune most physical damage for a certain time, making body surface incomparably smooth, while movement speed increases.】

【You successfully fed a Chi She Wang, consumed Water Phantom Spirit Python corpse*1, gained reward 1350 essence points】

"Good!" Yu Zhangsheng excitedly waved his fist.

These were all the abilities he wanted to fuse; the only slight regret is that illusion technique effect — it cannot be fused into the Chi She Wang's poison mist.

"Didn't expect fusion could actually change a demonic beast's attribute; from now on material selection need not be limited to fire attribute."

Yu Zhangsheng stroked the Chi She Wang catching its breath, encouraging: "You did well, rest."

The Chi She Wang was recalled into the Inner Landscape.

It truly has no strength now to try the newly gained abilities; it needs time to let its stamina recover first.

But being encouraged, the Chi She Wang felt secretly pleased; raising its head toward the corner it went to show off to the Iron Eagle King stupidly cultivating.

Look, look, how much Master loves me~ The Iron Eagle King turned its head, envy in its eyes, those little claws rubbing together, who knows when Master will reward it.

And the next second, it was summoned out.

Yu Zhangsheng took out a large plate of red crocodile meat, smiling: "These days you've also worked hard; heard from Wan Beast Tower people you like eating this most, come have a taste."

Light seemed to appear in the Iron Eagle King's eyes; it cried gu gu, and hugged the red crocodile meat.

Although this red crocodile was not whole, only half a body and tail, it did not mind at all, instead gnawing with relish, inwardly praising Master vigorously.

And Yu Zhangsheng stroking its head, suddenly saw a message in Fusion Ancestor.

【Fusion Ancestor】

【Success rate: Iron Eagle King + Red Crocodile Meat = 100%】

【Cost: 99 essence】

"99 Essence? One hundred percent success rate?"

He was startled. What was this situation? Such cheap Essence could still reach one hundred percent — could it be that the fusion compatibility between the Iron Eagle King and the Red Crocodile was very good? "Should I give it a try?" Yu Zhangsheng was very tempted, because 99 Essence — you can't lose, you can't be cheated! "I still have 1450 Essence; deducting 99 is trivial. Then let's give it a try!"

He looked at the Iron Eagle King's happy appearance; his mind moved, and he pressed down.

Fusion Ancestor!
