Chapter 194: Treating the Glazed Ice Dragon

Nether Wolf?

Wasn't it a Gloom Hound before?

It seems that after gaining Purgatory Fire, the Gloom Hound upgraded into a Nether Wolf.

However, Nether Wolf does sound more imposing than Gloom Hound.

Besides, this guy can only evolve after reaching the Fourth Rank Peak; its strength should be even more formidable then.

Ye Bai also knows the principle that haste makes waste.

Letting the Little Charcoal Dog evolve too early would be counterproductive, like pulling on seedlings to help them grow.

At this moment, the Paper Puppet spoke slowly: "Do you have anything else to do here?"

"Jiang Dashi is preparing to transfer you directly to the Imperial Capital through this Secret Realm."

"If there is nothing else, you can just read books here for these few days."

"Jiang Dashi recently took on a big job and wants to take you along to broaden your horizons."

Ye Bai was stunned? A big job?

A big job worthy of Jiang Dashi taking action personally really made Ye Bai feel a little excited.

At Jiang Dashi's level, the jobs he can take are all quite tricky.

This is also very helpful for Ye Bai's growth.

"Paper Puppet, can you tell me what kind of job Jiang Dashi has taken?"

The Paper Puppet scratched its face with its hand.

"It is said to be a Glazed Ice Dragon."

"This Glazed Ice Dragon was ambushed by enemies when it was about to give birth and suffered heavy injuries. Jiang Dashi's intervention this time is to ensure that both the Glazed Ice Dragon and its Glazed Dragon Egg can survive."

Ye Bai understood that this was not an easy task; the surgery difficulty was at least level five or higher, and if not done well, there could be repercussions.

However, at this moment, he remembered the characteristics of the Sun Flower Emperor's Flower Nectar.

"The Glazed Ice Dragon is a Seventh Rank Exotic Beast, and its Pet Beast Master is one of the Twelve Pillars of the Nation, the Dragon Pillar Chen Long."

"If the Dragon Pillar hadn't personally begged Jiang Dashi, Jiang Dashi would absolutely never have taken such a high-difficulty and tricky job."

"Ye Bai, for these two days, you should focus on reviewing the structure of the Glazed Dragon and study it."

"The surgery will be performed in three days."

"By the way, because you possess the control hub of this Secret Realm, you can use that control hub to go anywhere in the Secret Realm."

After the Paper Puppet finished speaking, it drifted away.

Ye Bai tested it out, and sure enough, with a thought, he appeared in the library of the Secret Realm.

After testing it a few times and eventually feeling a bit bored, he sat at the library desk, preparing to flip through some books to take a look.

At this time, a paper figure jumped down from the windowsill and turned into a thick stack of paper.

"Ye Bai, take a look. This contains information about the Glazed Ice Dragon's injuries. After you finish reading, discuss with me how to safely deliver the Glazed Dragon Egg without any mishaps, while also ensuring the safety of the Glazed Ice Dragon."

"I originally didn't want to take this task, but I only reluctantly agreed considering you haven't experienced this kind of surgery."

"Don't worry, on the day of the surgery, I will assist you throughout the entire process. Once you can't handle it, I will step in."

"You also don't need to worry about the Surgical Knife not being able to cut through the Glazed Ice Dragon's scales; your Dragon-Slaying Sword is the nemesis of the Glazed Ice Dragon."

Jiang Dashi's booming voice rang in Ye Bai's ears.

Ye Bai grumbled inwardly, I really thank you; you even calculated the Dragon-Slaying Sword into this for me. Is the thread for stitching the wounds made from the Ten-Thousand-Change Silkworm?

Is the anesthesiologist Dahui?

However, despite his grumbling, he still picked up the materials on the Glazed Ice Dragon and began to read them carefully.

Inside were large CT scans and partial ultrasound images of the Glazed Ice Dragon, as well as the injury assessment report from the Pet Beast Hospital.

Of course, there was also a photo of the Glazed Ice Dragon before the incident.

The Glazed Ice Dragon had a slender build, but its streamlined body was covered in ice-crystal-like white dragon scales, each of which shimmered with a cold light, revealing powerful frost energy.

It had no dragon horns, but an ice-blue crystal gem was embedded in the center of its brow, and its eyes were deep and cold, like fine glazed glass.

The Glazed Ice Dragon's limbs were strong and powerful, its Zhua were sharp and curved upward, its tail was like translucent gauze, and waves of cold air radiated from its body.

From the large CT scans, it could be seen that the Glazed Ice Dragon's body had fractures in more than thirty places, the most serious being its abdomen, where the bones had suffered comminuted fractures, and the tail even showed varying degrees of distortion.

Helping the Glazed Ice Dragon repair its body was a major project, and it had to be done in one go; otherwise, the longer it dragged on, the more painful it would be for the Glazed Ice Dragon.

Through the ultrasound images, it could be seen that layers of cracks had already appeared on the eggshell, to the point of being on the verge of shattering.

According to this situation, the mother must have paid a huge price to preserve this Glazed Dragon Egg.

Otherwise, as a Seventh Rank Pet Beast, the Glazed Ice Dragon itself possessed a Dragon Bloodline; it was impossible for its recovery ability to be this poor.

There was only one possibility: the Glazed Ice Dragon had used its Dragon Bloodline, using its original Dragon power to save the Glazed Dragon Egg with all its might.

Its body was already in such a bad state that it could not recover on its own; it was in a very dangerous condition.

No wonder they had to beg Jiang Dashi; this required emergency treatment.

Ye Bai analyzed the body structure of the Glazed Ice Dragon over and over again.

He had already built a 3D model of the Glazed Ice Dragon in his mind, and Ye Bai thought over and over again about how he should proceed.

Should he help repair the Glazed Ice Dragon's body first, or help the Glazed Dragon Egg first?

The Glazed Dragon Egg had already grown an eggshell, proving that it was about to be successfully gestated.

Ye Bai bit his lip, and beads of sweat the size of peas seeped out on his forehead; this was quite tricky and consumed a great deal of mental energy.

This surgery was equivalent to achieving a balance between the Glazed Ice Dragon and the Glazed Dragon Egg.

A day and a night passed.

The food on the table had gone cold and been heated, then gone cold again; Dahui stepped lightly and set down the freshly made food.

As soon as it stepped out the door, it ran into Jiang Dashi.

"Ye Bai is still there racking his brains, isn't he."

"Haha, back in the day, I was also racking my brains just like that."

"For the sake of a surgery, I wouldn't eat or drink, swearing to conquer it."

"You are called Dahui, right."

"Do you know why I wanted Ye Bai to come into contact with surgery so early?"

"Although my lifespan has increased, the curse has not been broken."

"This is where the lifeblood of our school lies."

"Your physical exterior looks quite normal, but you were once subjected to a profound curse."

Jiang Dashi's words made Dahui's pupils contract sharply.

"You don't need to worry, I am Ye Bai's master, I will not harm you."

"I am just helping you analyze the problem, nothing more."

"You might be wondering how I know all of this."

"Because I was also once cursed by the Shenshen de zhouzhou."

"It's just that my luck was better; my master traded his life for mine to save me."

"You escaped the shackles of the curse by seeking life through death."

"But the person who cursed you will definitely keep looking for you."

"Only if Ye Bai keeps getting stronger, expands his connections, and gains the protection of the higher-ups, will he have the qualifications to protect you." After finishing, Jiang Dashi walked away slowly.

Dahui sat on the ground with a dejected face; Jiang Dashi's words just now had dealt it a heavy blow.

It knew that even if its strength increased to the fifth rank, it was no match for that Shenshen de zhouzhou.

At this moment, the pocket watch that Dahui often hung around its neck fell off with a click.

A string of music drifted out from the pocket watch.

The pocket watch gradually opened, and inside was a photo of Ye Bai, itself, and the entire Breeding House.

Looking at the familiar smiles in the photo, Dahui cheered up.

That's right, if Ye Bai can work hard for everyone, why can't I.

Dahui now had the thought of becoming stronger; if it could break through to become a sixth-rank Pet Beast, would it have the ability to deal with the Shenshen de zhouzhou?

Dahui, you cannot be so downcast; you are the man who is going to become the Emperor.

It scrambled up from the ground and darted into the training ground in a flash.

Here, the Myriad-Change Silkworm and the Dragon-Slaying Sword were sparring with each other.

And the Space Pelican was also resting with its eyes closed; from its body, a wisp of silvery-white light radiated, and Dahui knew it was cultivating.

So Dahui sat down cross-legged, and terrifying Thunder Light emerged from its body.

It intended to improve itself through this method.

By the next day, Ye Bai finally had some ideas; now he needed some materials.

He needed to go to the material warehouse in advance to look for treasures that could treat the Ice Glass Dragon.

However, before that, he still took a look at the intelligence.

He discovered that as long as he placed special importance on certain matters, the system would display intelligence related to them.

【1. The seventh-rank Exotic Beast Ice Glass Dragon's injury condition is extremely severe. In order to save its child, it spared no effort to transmit its origin power to the Glass Dragon egg. The dragon orb has already developed dense cracks; once the dragon orb shatters, it will cause heavy damage to the Ice Glass Dragon and could potentially lead directly to death.】

【2. Ten-thousand-year ice can temporarily help the Ice Glass Dragon stabilize its injuries and absorb some ice origin.】

【3. Dragon Blood Fruit can stimulate the Ice Glass Dragon's Dragon Bloodline, and Dragon God Stone can help the Ice Glass Dragon recover its dragon origin.】

【4. The Flower Nectar of the Sun Flower Emperor combined with Life Crystal Dew can maintain the activity of the Glass Dragon egg and promote the healing of the cracks in the Glass Dragon egg. The higher the rank of the Sun Flower Emperor, the faster the Glass Dragon egg will repair.】

【5. The Ice Glass Dragon's bones need to be repaired with a treasure called Merman Tears; otherwise, once these bones heal, they will cause the Ice Glass Dragon to feel the torture of bone fractures from time to time.】

These five pieces of intelligence were indeed all about the Ice Glass Dragon.

Ye Bai's eyes narrowed slightly; it seemed the Ice Glass Dragon's condition was not clear, and there must be many hidden injuries in its body.

This was extremely unfavorable for Ye Bai; the best method was still to observe the Ice Glass Dragon for a few days.

But Ye Bai knew this was impossible; judging from the Ice Glass Dragon's test report, it was already on its last breath.

It probably couldn't be tossed around anymore.

"If this is the case, the Ice Glass Dragon's body must have other hidden dangers."

"I'll have to wait until I see the Ice Glass Dragon to know for sure."

"Now I must first go to the warehouse to see if there are any treasures that can help the Ice Glass Dragon recover."

"Paper Doll Puppet."

Ye Bai lightly called out "Paper Doll Puppet" to the air.

"I am here."

A ripple appeared in the air.

Countless white papers gathered together, and the figure of the Paper Doll Puppet began to emerge.

She held an oil-paper umbrella in her hand, her long hair like a waterfall was pinned up with a hairpin, and she wore a white cheongsam, revealing arms like white jade.

"Paper Doll Puppet, I want to go to the warehouse to see if there are any suitable materials."

"I need you to help me tell Master."

Anbao Hall had a warehouse specifically for storing treasures.

However, if Ye Bai wanted to take out treasures from the warehouse, he had to obtain the consent of the Paper Doll Puppet; otherwise, he would be attacked by the Paper Doll Clone that guarded the treasures.

"Jiang Dashi has already authorized me; this time, whatever treasures you need, you can make the decision at any time."

"We will multiply the consumed materials by three and hand them over to the Dragon Pillar."

This is the reason why top-tier healers are so expensive.

Only someone as wealthy and imposing as Long Zhu could possibly afford this fee.

I hope that when Long Zhu receives the bill, his hands won't shake.

"Rest assured, no one dares to welsh on our debts; they and their Pet Beasts all face birth, aging, sickness, and death, and they all need us."

The Paper Puppet covered its face with a fan and chuckled softly.

"Ye Bai, come with me."

The Paper Puppet led Ye Bai into a storeroom, where many paper soldiers and paper horses were floating, all patrolling around the warehouse.

Seeing the Paper Puppet arrive, the paper soldiers cleared a path.

There were three layers of restrictions around the perimeter of the warehouse, and as the Paper Puppet approached, a passage large enough for one person to pass through appeared.

"The warehouse is very large, about the size of a small island; our school has passed down many things, and at the same time, we also collect treatment fees from patients."

"Just tell me what you need, and I will get it for you directly."

The Paper Puppet tossed out a sheet of white paper.

The white paper formed the shape of a computer in mid-air.

"I need Dragon God Stone, Merman Tear, Dragon Blood Fruit, Ten Thousand Year Cold Ice, Ice God Fruit, and Ten Thousand Year Stone Stalactite."

Upon hearing the raw materials Ye Bai mentioned, the Paper Puppet's hands paused; these items were certainly not cheap.

Moreover, every piece used was one less in existence.

"Ye Bai, these treasures are all quite expensive and extremely rare; are you sure you need to take them?"

The Paper Puppet said with a somewhat strange expression.

"I am sure; take all of these items out, they are of great use for treating the Ice Glazed Dragon."

The Paper Puppet silently mourned for Long Zhu; these items could be called rare treasures, and the price of each one was already an astronomical figure.

If they were to heartlessly multiply it by three, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say Long Zhu would go bankrupt, and he might even be forced to sell his looks.

The Paper Puppet silently lit a candle for Long Zhu.

She could already imagine what kind of expression would appear on Long Zhu's face when he saw that astronomical bill.

The Paper Puppet wondered if Long Zhu would be unable to pay the bill and end up hugging Jiang Dashi's thighs and begging bitterly.

However, Ye Bai was Jiang Dashi's next-generation successor, so the Paper Puppet only had the duty of following orders.

"Paper Puppet, prepare all these things first."

"When the time comes for me to treat the Ice Glazed Dragon, then bring these things to me."

Exams are over; starting tomorrow, there will be four updates a day for a week. Cast your votes!
