Chapter 315: Is Master Jiang the Un-Sheep?

"Even the intelligence on Golden Crow blood has surfaced?"

"It seems I must make a trip to the Haoshen Secret Realm."

For Ye Bai, this was quite good news.

The bloodline of a Golden Crow could purify the bloodline of a Sun Golden Chicken, significantly increasing the probability of it evolving into a Sun Golden Crow.

This evolution experiment was extremely difficult, with a success rate of less than ten percent, but with the Golden Crow blood, the success rate jumped to twenty percent.

In fact, when it comes to the evolution of high-tier Pet Beasts, the help provided by the True Sight Eye is not that great.

A researcher's experience and intuition instead become the primary factors in helping a Pet Beast evolve.

The more experiments they conduct and the richer their experience, the higher the success rate.

The next day, Ye Bai met You Ji.

You Ji was a middle-aged man who rarely smiled, wearing a pair of thick, black-rimmed glasses.

His head was shiny, with only a few hairs on top, and he wore a white shirt with his tie done up meticulously.

Looking at him from afar, he gave off the vibe of a grade-level dean.

"Old Fang, this is my disciple, Ye Bai."

"At the same time, he is also a disciple of Zhang Lingxue, the most formidable researcher in the Yan Country, and Su Qingxian is his grand-teacher."

"He will lead the treatment of the Sun Golden Chicken this time."

"He once cured Chen Long's Ice Glass Dragon and even presided over the birth of the Thunder White Tiger."

"In the field of Pet Beast treatment, Ye Bai is already far superior to me."

"At best, I am merely here to assist Ye Bai."

Jiang Dashi said with extreme humility.

You Ji remained expressionless, making Ye Bai wonder if You Ji was a natural-born stone-face.

Since Jiang Dashi had already introduced both parties, it was now Ye Bai's turn to step up.

"You Ji, Pillar of the Nation, hello, I am Ye Bai."

"I have carefully examined the injuries of the Sun Golden Chicken."

"It has been afflicted by a very vicious 'Eternal Slumber' curse cast by an angel."

"Furthermore, they utilized a Space-type Spell to sever the Sun Golden Chicken's wings and Zhua from its body."

"When the angel first severed the Sun Golden Chicken's wings, not a single drop of blood flowed out, did it?"

"Instead, even after the wings and Zhua had been severed for so long, they still maintained high-intensity vitality."

You Ji recalled it in detail, and it was indeed exactly as Ye Bai had said.

A slight smile squeezed out from the corners of his mouth.

That was a nice smile; don't smile next time.

This smile was uglier than crying.

Ye Bai secretly slandered.

"So, Ye Bai, you specifically asked me to come over—do you have a solution?"

"If you have a way, even if it means climbing a mountain of blades or descending into a sea of fire, as long as I can do it, I am willing to go through with it."

You Ji had deep feelings for the Sun Golden Chicken; he had hatched it with his own hands and they had shared joys and sorrows until now.

When the angel launched a sneak attack, it was the Sun Golden Chicken that blocked in front of him, which was how it fell into the angel's trap.

Otherwise, relying on the Sun Golden Chicken's rainbow-like speed, the angel would never have been able to ambush it.

"The Sun Golden Chicken's curse is extremely thorny."

"I have already consulted others; this is a torture method specifically developed by angels to target traitors."

"The Sun Golden Chicken will feel the pain of being burned by fire, and it is a pain amplified a thousand times over."

"It cannot be relieved in a short period."

"Because this curse does not act upon the body, but rather acts upon the Soul."

"The curse has already intertwined with the Sun Golden Chicken's Soul."

"If one were to rashly sever the curse, the Sun Golden Chicken would surely die."

After hearing Ye Bai's words, You Ji forced himself to remain calm.

"Then, Ye Bai, do you have a solution?"

You Ji's voice trembled slightly as he spoke.

"I do, but the success rate is less than ten percent. If you are willing, I can try my best, but you must first collect the treasures for the treatment and give them to me."

"Additionally, my fee for taking action is extremely high; you must be mentally prepared."

"Regardless of whether I succeed or not, you must pay this fee."

Ye Bai handed a long list to You Ji.

"Since the treatment cannot be accomplished in one go, I need you to collect the treasures first."

"I will first prepare the Soul Enhancement Liquid for the Sun Golden Chicken to develop and strengthen its Soul."

"Once the Sun Golden Chicken's Soul is stable, we will proceed to the next step of the treatment."

You Ji respectfully took the list; at this moment, he was not one of the Twelve Pillars of the Nation, but just an ordinary Pet Beast Master, an ordinary Pet Beast Master worried for his own Pet Beast.

"Ye Bai, I want to know the specific treatment plan for the Sun Golden Chicken. If it is too painful, I hope to give the Sun Golden Chicken a quick end."

It took You Ji a long time to make this decision.

"For the Sun Golden Chicken, death is also a luxury. Before the curse within its body disappears, it will not die; even if it suffers a lethal injury, it will recover as before in the shortest possible time."

"However, the Sun Golden Chicken's Soul will suffer a thousand-fold pain; this is the angel's method of retaliation. They will not let the Sun Golden Chicken find peace."

"Right now, the best course of action for the Sun Golden Chicken is to consume the Soul Enhancement Liquid I mentioned."

"Increasing its own Soul strength, I believe that is the best way out for the Sun-Day Golden Chicken."

Youji frowned: "Ye Bai, you haven't explained how to treat the Sun-Day Golden Chicken; I don't want it to continue suffering."

Ye Bai smiled: "Pillar of State Youji, I know you are anxious, but please don't be."

"There is only one way to treat the Sun-Day Golden Chicken now, and that is Life Transition."

"As long as the Sun-Day Golden Chicken evolves, this curse will be exhausted along with its evolution."

Actually, this curse is considered a good thing; it can enhance cell activity and increase life intensity, but the drawbacks are also obvious: becoming a vegetable while remaining conscious forever, with the pain level magnified a thousand times.

This kind of eternal torture is more unbearable than death.

After hearing Ye Bai's treatment plan, Youji widened his eyes.

Are you kidding? The Sun-Day Golden Chicken is a Ninth Rank Pet Beast; evolving it directly into a Tenth-tier one—almost no one has ever done such an experiment.

Because after a Pet Beast reaches the Eighth Rank, the influence of researchers on it is almost negligible.

At this stage, Pet Beasts break through to the Ninth Rank naturally by comprehending a Domain; this is a subtle and profound process.

Every Pet Beast that advances to the Ninth Rank gains different insights.

The plan Ye Bai proposed is simply whimsical.

Pillar of State Youji felt a faint sense of regret; was it really reliable to hand the Sun-Day Golden Chicken over to Ye Bai for treatment?

"You're wrong, Pillar of State Youji, your thinking is wrong."

"If the Sun-Day Golden Chicken were still a Ninth Rank Pet Beast, I would have given up on treating it without a second thought; after all, it's a hot potato."

"But what if the Sun-Day Golden Chicken is no longer a Ninth Rank Pet Beast now?"

"Just now, through instrument testing, I discovered that the Sun-Day Golden Chicken's strength has already dropped to Seven-Tier Peak."

"As the curse expands further, the Sun-Day Golden Chicken's strength may decline even more, so a large amount of heavenly treasures is needed to help the Sun-Day Golden Chicken stabilize its strength."

"This is also why I gave you such a long list."

"It's not because I'm abusing my power for personal gain or trying to sneak in my own items, but because so many heavenly treasures are absolutely necessary."

Ye Bai revealed an expression of righteous indignation.

As for whether he snuck in his own items, only Ye Bai knows. After all, Jiang Dashi is only a healing master, not a researcher.

"Additionally, the probability of the Sun-Day Golden Chicken evolving into a Sun-Day Golden Crow is less than ten percent."

"Pillar of State Youji, I hope you can answer me: are you willing to spend countless treasures to save the Sun-Day Golden Chicken?"

"Even if it means bearing decades of debt in the future, you will not hesitate."

Ye Bai continued to ask.

Pillar of State Youji looked at the Sun-Day Golden Chicken in the Culture Dish, and he let out a long sigh.

"The Sun-Day Golden Chicken and I have relied on each other and supported each other through everything."

"At the critical moment of crisis, it left the hope of life to me."

"Now that there is a glimmer of hope to treat it, how could I give up?"

"Ye Bai, I hope you use the best medicine to help the Sun-Day Golden Chicken."

"Even if I have to bear decades of debt in the future, I will not hesitate."

"One must always make choices in life, but I will not voluntarily abandon my friend."

"I will do my best to find the materials, and no matter the outcome, I will not blame you."

"I will only lay everything at the feet of those bird-men."

Youji spoke his true thoughts.

"I understand."

Ye Bai nodded.

"This treatment process will be very long."

"But I can guarantee that the Sun-Day Golden Chicken will not suffer eternal torture."

"For this, I have a secret weapon here."

Ye Bai clapped his hands, and a large screen slowly rose up.

"This is a television I prepared specifically for the Sun-Day Golden Chicken, containing thousands of TV shows, music, songs, and cartoons."

Ye Bai took out two metal pieces the size of buttons.

"This is the brainwave equipment I will have the Sun-Day Golden Chicken wear; it can completely switch the TV content through this device."

This counts as helping the Sun-Day Golden Chicken pass the time.

"That is truly thank you so much, Ye Bai; my Sun-Day Golden Chicken is most afraid of loneliness."

Youji's high-hanging heart finally settled down a little.

As long as there is a glimmer of hope, Youji will not give up.

Youji left in a hurry, and Ye Bai injected the Soul Enhancement Liquid into Youji's body.

Then he stuck the brainwave equipment tightly onto the Sun-Day Golden Chicken's head.

The television was turned on with a 'pop'.

The programs inside switched from time to time.

Ye Bai intended to adjust the Sun-Day Golden Chicken's state to the best condition before conducting the evolution experiment.

However, he must make a trip himself for those ten drops of Golden Crow blood in the Haoshen Secret Realm.

Treasures of this level must be kept in his own hands.

"Master, I will prepare a month's worth of soul extraction liquid; if Youji comes, just follow this formula to prepare the nutrient solution for the Sun-Day Golden Chicken."

"I want to adjust the Sun-Day Golden Chicken's state to the best stage before conducting the evolution experiment."

The work of mixing formulas is something Jiang Dashi can complete alone, and if worse comes to worst, there is still the Paper Puppet to help on the side.

The paper puppet is becoming more and more like a person now, with a glimmer of brilliance flashing in her eyes from time to time; she has initially developed human nature.

If she could obtain more Godhead Crystals, her condition would improve more and more, perhaps even becoming a Saint Spirit.

Therefore, that statue at Imperial Capital University which awakened self-awareness is the target Ye Bai is hunting.

The battle situation at Nantianmen Fortress is currently relatively stable.

And the teleportation array to Nantianmen Fortress will open in three days.

Ye Bai casually passed the intelligence that the angels want to attack Cangqiong Tian to the Azure Dragon Marshal; anyway, if the sky falls, there are naturally taller people to hold it up.

"By the way, Master, I received a piece of news at Nantianmen Fortress."

"The Soul Weapons of the Twenty-Eight Mansions are forged from the special National Destiny of Yan Country."

"If one becomes one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, can they control a portion of the National Destiny?"

Ye Bai asked Jiang Dashi.

After hearing this, Jiang Dashi's expression became somewhat solemn.

"Where did you hear this news?"

"This is news that no one knows except for the high-level officials."

High-level officials, blind student, you have discovered the blind spot.

Jiang Dashi suddenly felt that he seemed to have said the wrong thing.

"Since I accidentally let it slip, then I will tell you."

"I am the Weiyang among the Twelve Pillars of the Nation."

"I am also the most mysterious Weiyang; ordinary people do not know my true identity."

"That is why I have a friendship with Youji and Chenlong."

Damn.

Ye Bai discovered that he had latched onto a very powerful backer.

Three of the Pillars of the Nation have a friendship with him.

Chenlong, Xugou, and Weiyang.

So, Master is not as devoid of combat power as he had imagined.

That makes sense; as the sect leader of Heaven Gate, he is naturally not weak, otherwise, how could he hold onto the family business while surrounded by wolves?

"Actually, it is not just the Soul Weapons of the Twenty-Eight Mansions."

"Even the Twelve Pillars of the Nation and the five Marshals possess Soul Weapons made from special National Destiny."

"This is the important reason why our Yan Country's heritage remains unbroken."

"After any one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions falls, they can find a suitable host in a very short time, thereby suppressing the National Destiny."

"Soul Weapons and National Destiny are complementary and mutually helpful."

"The stronger the National Destiny, the stronger the strength of the Twenty-Eight Mansions."

"In the Golden Generation of our previous few generations, every one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions was an eighth-rank powerhouse."

"It is just that after experiencing the Duotian War, many of the Twenty-Eight Mansions suffered fatal injuries, and quite a few Soul Weapons were damaged."

"After being nurtured for several generations, the Soul Weapons have gradually recovered."

"Until now, the Twenty-Eight Mansions are still not at full capacity."

"Among them, the Beichen Sky Wolf Blade, which represents Kuimulang and serves as the head of the Western White Tiger Seven Mansions, has had no one able to inherit it since the previous Kuimulang mysteriously disappeared."

"Finding suitable candidates for the Twenty-Eight Mansions has also become the mission of our Pillars of the Nation."

"I have said a bit too much today."

"Ye Bai, remember that some things cannot be spoken of outside; you must be very careful."

"Otherwise, you might be imprisoned in the Eighteen Levels of Hell of Yan Country, unable to escape for the rest of your life."

Jiang Dashi repeatedly exhorted Ye Bai.

"If you want to go to Nantianmen Fortress, then go; I will hold the fort here for the time being."

"The Yaori Jinji will not be lonely."
