Chapter 267: Divine Turtle Longevity Fruit

"However, some research data from the Western Research Institute has been sent to the Underground Black Market in the Imperial Capital."

"And there is also that Pet Beast Egg of the Hercules Ant."

"It must be acquired."

"That is a breed meticulously cultivated by the Western Research Institute; the genes should be tending toward stability."

The genes of Insect Type Exotic Beasts are easily affected by external interference, thereby forming mutation phenomena.

The most common is a change in appearance (such as shape, color, scent, etc.). More rare are changes in abilities and attributes, such as an ice attribute transforming into a fire attribute.

But the Hercules Ants from the Western Research Institute have relatively stable genes; basically, the next generation of Hercules Ants born will not undergo genetic mutation.

This makes it more convenient to conduct research.

Stability is an important factor for conducting scientific research.

Regarding the news about the research data in the Underground Black Market.

Ye Bai will pretend he doesn't know this news for now, and wait until his grand-teacher Zhang Dashan comes looking for him before reporting this information.

The key is to obtain the top-secret research data of the Western Research Institute; Ye Bai feels this is a huge breakthrough point.

However, the Underground Black Market in the Imperial Capital can only be entered at night, so Ye Bai can go to the Tianyun Yishou Shichang first to take a look.

He wants to intercept that batch of important Hercules Ant larvae and eggs, and take the opportunity to see if there are any other excellent larvae or eggs that could make his research more convenient.

Ye Bai has entered Imperial Capital University and must also start preparing his own research topics.

And Zhang Lingxue, as his teacher, has certainly paved the way for him.

Hidden Dragon Auction House.

Recently, there have been undercurrents, and more and more people have obtained Invitation Letters for the Hidden Dragon Auction House.

This concerns the inheritance of a top-tier force, and everyone is putting in all their effort to obtain it.

This is a path to the heavens.

Even Ye Bai received an Invitation Letter.

Moreover, this Invitation Letter appeared silently in front of Ye Bai.

A black gilded butterfly appeared beside Ye Bai, and at this moment, Ye Bai's shadow writhed.

A giant wolf head emerged from Ye Bai's shadow, and it spat a mouthful of black flames toward the gilded black butterfly.

The black butterfly was ignited by the black flames, and black ash scattered in mid-air, transforming into more black butterflies drifting in the air.

"Hold your attack, Nether Wolf, I don't feel any killing intent from this thing."

Ye Bai stopped the Nether Wolf's movements.

"A sensible little fellow. Originally, I intended to teach your Pet Beast a lesson, but for your sake, I'll let it slide."

"On the night of the full moon in half a month, we meet at the Hidden Dragon Auction House; we shall see you there."

A wisp of fragrant wind blew over, and the numerous black butterflies transformed into a shimmering, colorful Invitation Letter, which slowly landed in Ye Bai's hand.

On the satin-like Invitation Letter appeared the five gilded characters for Hidden Dragon Auction House.

Under the illumination of the lights, it looked as if it had come alive, and the Invitation Letter also emitted a fragrance that made one feel relaxed and happy.

"Hidden Dragon Auction House, good methods, good methods."

"Just for an Invitation Letter, they used the means of at least a Sixth Rank Exotic Beast."

"This Invitation Letter is woven from Heavenly Silkworm Silk; it is impervious to swords, spears, water, and fire. This Hidden Dragon Auction House really has good methods."

Ye Bai smiled and carefully put away the Invitation Letter.

A grand drama is about to begin soon, and as one of the participants, he must see it to the end.

But for now, let's get the Hercules Ants sorted out first.

Ye Bai does not have enough resources in his hands; he must continue to conduct research and stand out so that he can obtain more resources.

Therefore, Ye Bai's current plan is to first secretly get his hands on the evidence.

The Space Pelican shuttled back; ever since breaking through to the Fifth Rank, it has been able to perform long-distance teleportation.

So Ye Bai had the Space Pelican retrieve a very important item from Jiaying City, and that item is the Turtle Longevity Fruit.

The Turtle Longevity Fruit looks a bit like a dark green turtle.

Looking closely, one can even see the turtle's teeth; it looks just like it is sleeping.

Used well, the Turtle Longevity Fruit is comparable to a Ninth Rank treasure.

Any powerhouse whose lifespan has reached its limit and who wants to extend their life would certainly want to obtain this Turtle Longevity Fruit.

Ye Bai saw this in an ancient book.

The Turtle Longevity Fruit is also called Turtle Though Longevity; if it can be soaked in Heavenly Dew, once this turtle-like Exotic Beast grows a tail similar to a snake's, it is called Divine Turtle Though Longevity.

Divine Turtle Though Longevity, even it has an end; this kind of life-extending treasure possesses a very special rule, which is that it can completely extend one's lifespan by thirty years.

In other words, no matter how many times you have consumed Divine Turtle Though Longevity or other life-extending treasures, each time Divine Turtle Though Longevity can extend your lifespan by thirty years.

Although Heavenly Dew looks very precious in the eyes of others, for the Sunflower Emperor, as long as it absorbs enough blood essence from Pet Beasts, Heavenly Dew can be mass-produced.

Ye Bai plans to put a portion of the Heavenly Dew up for auction at the Hidden Dragon Auction House to build some goodwill.

"Sunflower Emperor, this Turtle Longevity Fruit is entrusted to you for safekeeping."

"It needs to be irrigated with Heavenly Dew, and when necessary, use Life Essence."

Ye Bai said with extreme solemnity; this relates to Ye Bai's strategy.

Although his master's lifespan has increased, Ye Bai still wants him to continue to provide protection.

The Divine Turtle Longevity Fruit is especially important.

The Sunflower Emperor nodded solemnly.

It placed this Turtle Longevity Fruit into its own body as if it were a treasure.

Ye Bai's idea is very simple: once the Divine Turtle Though Longevity is raised, feed this exceptionally precious medicinal herb to the Shennong Ginseng.

Shennong Ginseng can be used to mass-produce and simulate the medicinal liquid of Divine Turtle Though Longevity.

Whether it is a single tree or an entire forest, Ye Bai distinguishes between them very clearly.

"Everyone get ready, let's go, set off for the Tianyun Yishou Shichang."

Ye Bai waited for a moment, and after confirming that nothing had been left behind, he left the room.

The Tianyun Yishou Shichang is located directly east of the Imperial Capital, facing Daliu Village, where the Underground Black Market is located, from across the distance. It is now evening, yet the Exotic Beast Market is still bustling with people coming and going.

There are quite a few Breeders here researching medicinal herbs, as well as some new Pet Beast Masters selecting Pet Beasts.

And Ye Bai, following the system's reminder, arrived at the very last building in the market, which was a super-large warehouse.

The warehouse was piled full of rows upon rows of Pet Beast Eggs.

"Come on, take a look, have a see, the new arrivals of Pet Beast Eggs are all at affordable prices."

"Five thousand Yan Kingdom Coins each, five thousand Yan Kingdom Coins each."

"Buying is earning, buying is a bargain."

This scene was like treating Exotic Beast eggs as discounted chicken eggs, holding a promotional event.

On the shelves of the warehouse, one could see crystal-clear Pet Beast Eggs one after another.

A label was stuck on the shelf, with the three large characters "Iron Armor Ant" written on it.

【Brute Force Ant Larval Egg】

【Iron Armor Ant Larval Egg】

Through his Insight Eye, Ye Bai discovered that the larval eggs of the Brute Force Ant were hidden among the Iron Armor Ants.

He could pick them out at will, specifically selecting the Brute Force Ant larval eggs, but he felt that interested parties might discover the clues.

Plus, these larval eggs, which were only the size of goose eggs, were not expensive; they only cost one hundred Yan Kingdom Coins each.

So Ye Bai simply waved his hand and bought the whole lot.

In any case, Han Jiazhu had allocated a large sum of funds, saying it was to add bricks and tiles to the research at the Imperial Capital Research Institute.

Ye Bai would not bother the school for reimbursement.

"Shopkeeper, I'll take all the larval eggs here."

A sharp-eared, monkey-cheeked shopkeeper came over.

"You'll take them all?"

"There are nearly ten thousand Pet Beast Eggs here; if you take them all, it will cost one million Yan Kingdom Coins."

Ye Bai wiped his face; oh my, he had been underestimated.

Ye Bai felt secretly annoyed, so he took out the check given by Han Jiazhu and waved it in front of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper didn't look closely, but was blinded by that string of numbers.

By the time he wanted to see it clearly, Ye Bai had already put it away.

"Write me a receipt and specify the quantity."

"Pack them up; I want to take the goods immediately."

Ye Bai appeared to be quite urgent, and he took out an anonymous Black Card.

The benefit of this kind of anonymous Black Card is that it cannot be traced back to his own bank account.

The shopkeeper was also a guy who only cared about money, so he immediately called over two Brute Force Bull Demons and moved them directly into Ye Bai's Pet Beast Space along with the shelves.

Brute Force Bull Demons are famous cannon fodder in Hell; they eat little, work much, and have great strength.

These two Brute Force Bull Demons had a black collar hanging around their necks and a nose ring in their noses.

They emptied the shelves in just a few moments.

"Boss, I have other Exotic Beast larval eggs here; I wonder if you are interested."

The shopkeeper rubbed his hands, wanting to push the other larval eggs directly.

It just so happened that Ye Bai had also been conducting research in this area recently.

In fact, besides the Brute Force Ant, he was also quite interested in Exotic Beasts like the Brute Force Longhorn Beetle.

"If you have any top-quality goods, just bring them all out."

In any case, the Brute Force Ants he had his eye on were already in his pocket.

Moreover, he was wearing a fake mask, and ordinary people would not recognize him.

"Tell me what breeds of Exotic Beast eggs you have."

"If I'm interested, I'll have them brought out."

"I will not enter the warehouse."

"It's too dark inside, and the air here is very murky; I feel tired just smelling it."

A flash of disappointment crossed the shopkeeper's eyes.

This big fat sheep actually didn't fall for it.

If he had entered the interior of the warehouse with him, he would have been very confident in being able to take him down.

Just like other fat sheep, he would have been stripped clean and sold to a private mine to be a mine slave.

This shopkeeper was someone who dared to harvest kidneys.

But it didn't matter; he had other plans. No big fat sheep he had his eye on had ever escaped his grasp.

The shopkeeper's head hung low, his eyes filled with a treacherous look.

"Fine, this tablet contains all the Exotic Beast eggs in our warehouse."

"Whatever you take a fancy to, just place an order and buy it."

"The Brute Force Bull Demons will bring the Exotic Beast eggs up."

The shopkeeper politely handed the tablet to Ye Bai.

However, through his Insight Eye, Ye Bai saw that the tablet was covered in tiny insects invisible to the naked eye.

A hint of coldness appeared in his eyes; it seemed this shopkeeper had truly set his sights on him, actually wanting to use such low-class methods to mark his location.

Ye Bai sneered inwardly, while outwardly he took the tablet from the shopkeeper's hand without changing his expression.

He allowed the tiny insect to burrow into his body.

Seeing that the tiny insect had marked Ye Bai, the shopkeeper finally felt at ease.

Ye Bai flipped through the tablet, and there were still quite a few good items on it.

Seeking collections, seeking recommendation votes.
