Chapter 376: Healing the Sun-Day Golden Crow

They all felt it was very strange; the Gospel Society, which never stirred without profit, had actually been bewitched as well.

"Haha, the Glory Angel told me the method for how to ignite the divine fire."

"Perhaps it feels that I am exceptionally gifted."

The Star Sage smoothed out her fine, long hair and tucked it behind her ear.

"The Beautiful Country will absolutely not allow Yan Country to rise."

"If Yan Country rises, it will not be to our benefit either."

"The National Destiny of Yan Country has begun to rise, while we have relatively become rats in a sewer; do you wish for this to continue forever?"

"I do not want to; I truly do not want this to continue."

"I must climb up step by step, seek more knowledge, and finally become a new god."

The Star Sage voiced her thoughts.

At this moment, Ye Bai had already returned to the land of Yan Country; after a night of rest, his entire body was full of vitality.

"Ye Bai, Qilin Marshal wants to see you."

"I will drop you off at the perimeter of the Qi Luck Hall."

"There will naturally be someone at the Qi Luck Hall to receive you."

Seeing this, Lady Bat snapped her fingers, and the Space Ray slowly opened its mouth.

The Qi Luck Hall, an ancient Gongdian related to the National Destiny of Yan Country, stood amidst swirling smoke and incense; it was like a Haishishenglou.

The hall was towering, its glazed tiles shimmering with golden radiance under the sunlight, resembling stars beneath the sky, emitting a mysterious and solemn aura.

The massive red-lacquered palace gates were tightly shut, and stone lions stood on both sides, majestic and solemn; upon closer inspection, these stone lions were powerful Pet Beasts, the Cloud-Exit Stone Lions, which would transform into stone statues when not in battle.

If anyone were to invade, the stone skin on their bodies would immediately fall away, their true forms would be revealed, and they would launch attacks against the intruders.

Clatter, clatter, clatter.

A stag with seven-colored long horns, emitting a colorful, brilliant light from its body, appeared.

A bell hung from its neck, and with every step it took, it emitted a jingling sound.

"Kuimulang, is it?"

"I am the Seven-Colored Deer."

"I am also the Guard of the Qi Luck Gongdian."

"Qilin Marshal asked me to come and receive you."

The Seven-Colored Deer spoke in a muffled voice.

The Seven-Colored Deer is a type of auspicious beast of Qi Luck, and it never tells a lie.

Ye Bai followed the Seven-Colored Deer step by step toward the long, narrow stairs; every time the Seven-Colored Deer took a step, the bell on its neck emitted a tinkling sound.

It walked at a steady pace, then submerged its body into the thick fog.

Ye Bai secretly observed the environment around him; apart from fog, it was nothing but fog.

A huge black shadow suddenly appeared before his eyes, as if it were a man-eating giant beast, waiting for everyone to descend here.

When Ye Bai walked closer to look, this black shadow was actually a massive Gongdian, and there was also a huge garden.

Walking into the Gongdian, one could see carved beams and painted rafters; every detail revealed exquisite craftsmanship and deep symbolism.

Inside the magnificent hall, a dragon throne sat high, carved with a pattern of nine dragons playing with a pearl; the dragon scales were distinct, vivid to the extreme, manifesting supreme imperial power.

In the garden outside the hall, ancient trees reached the sky, and occasionally flower petals drifted down, gently scattering onto the bluestone path.

A pond of lotus flowers, with lotus leaves like silk skirts, rippled as the breeze blew; unfortunately, it was blocked by the white fog, otherwise, it would have had a unique charm.

In the distance, several wisps of light smoke rose from an incense burner, slowly permeating the entire Gongdian, and a faint fragrance filled the air, making one's mind feel tranquil.

Ye Bai followed the Seven-Colored Deer for who knows how long before arriving at the Gongdian labeled as a branch of the Qi Luck Hall.

The interior was cleaned spotlessly, and Qilin Marshal stood with his hands behind his back.

"Ye Bai, is it? Congratulations on becoming the new Twenty-Eight Mansions, and also for achieving such excellent results in the Researcher Competition."

"At the same time, you perfectly executed the mission and brought back the Yan Country people, excluding Professor Wang."

"You are worthy of commendation."

"I have here a secret manual on how to refine the North Star Sky Wolf Blade, written by the previous Kuimulang; I hope it can be of help to you."

"I have investigated you; your strength has not yet reached the seventh rank, yet you possess seventh-rank combat power."

"Your Pet Beasts are all raised very well."

"Moreover, you accepted the request of Youji and took the initiative to treat the Sun-Day Golden Chicken."

"I heard from Youji that the state of the Sun-Day Golden Chicken is much better, and it has not been as irritable recently."

"That part of the Haishenyuan Mijing needs someone to guard it."

"However, our Yan Country is vast and rich in resources, and many territories require specialized personnel to be sent to guard them."

"If Youji's Sun-Day Golden Chicken can recover, it should be able to resolve quite a few problems."

Qilin Marshal said slowly.

Ye Bai nodded: "Rest assured, Qilin Marshal, I already have an idea."

Just restoring the Sun-Day Golden Chicken to its original state, rather than letting the Sun-Day Golden Chicken evolve into a Sun-Day Golden Crow, does not have a high degree of difficulty.

The Heaven-Swallowing Pelican is already able to break the angel's Great Cut.

As long as this spell is broken, the Sun-Day Golden Chicken will naturally have no problems.

What's more, the Haishenyuan Mijing itself contains Golden Crow blood; it shouldn't be difficult to first treat the Sun-Day Golden Chicken and then obtain the Golden Crow blood.

"I must first go and see my grand-teacher, Professor Su Qingxian; there are some issues I need to communicate with her about."

Qilin Marshal then handed a manual to Ye Bai.

"Ye Bai, this is the usage manual for the North Star Sky Wolf Blade of the Twenty-Eight Mansions Kuimulang."

"If there is anything you do not understand, you can come and ask me at any time."

After Ye Bai said goodbye to Qilin Marshal, he returned to Imperial Capital University at the first opportunity.

At this time, Academician Su Qingxian and Zhang Lingxue were both in the office.

Seeing Ye Bai enter, smiles bloomed on both of their faces.

"Ye Bai, congratulations to you, champion of the global Researcher Competition."

"This is an honor that our Yan Country has yet to achieve until now."

"When we learned that the Storm Dragon was attacking the Beautiful Country, we were very worried."

"As it turns out, you became Kuimulang of the Twenty-Eight Mansions without a sound."

"Everyone knows very well just how difficult it is to have the North Star Sky Wolf Blade recognize its master."

"Otherwise, it would not have failed to successfully recognize a master ever since the previous Kuimulang went missing; how many young talents have been unable to gain the approval of the North Star Sky Wolf Blade."

Su Qingxian said with a smile.

"Haha, after knowing you were Kuimulang, Zhang Dashan was about to die laughing."

"His disciples and grand-disciples occupy three spots in the Twenty-Eight Mansions; he feels quite proud."

"By the way, Ye Bai, I see you walking over so excitedly, is there some happy news?"

Ye Bai nodded: "I caught a young angel."

"I wonder if Grandmaster and Teacher are interested?" Ye Bai's words made Zhang Lingxue's eyes light up.

"A young angel, alive?"

"That is truly wonderful; I have long wanted to catch an angel to conduct research."

"We must learn the angel's weaknesses through research."

Ye Bai handed the Beast Card containing the angel to Zhang Lingxue; with Zhang Lingxue's strength, she could completely suppress the young angel.

"I heard that the Glory Angel of the Beautiful Country is preparing to attack the Haoshen Abyss."

"So we must understand where the angel's weaknesses lie, so that we can better protect the Haoshen Abyss."

After Ye Bai finished speaking, he walked out of the Laboratory. The originally sunny sky suddenly turned as dark as ink.

The drizzle was like silk, gently tapping on the school's stone slabs.

Before long, the rain began to fall harder and harder.

A thin curtain of rain appeared, and water soon began to pool on the ground.

In the rain and mist, a woman wearing a cheongsam walked gracefully; the oil-paper umbrella in her hand swayed gently, like a moving ink wash painting.

The surface of the umbrella was painted with an elegant plum blossom pattern, which complemented the plum blossom pattern on her cheongsam, outlining a scene of classical beauty.

The cheongsam was tailored to fit her body, highlighting her slender figure, and the hem of the dress swayed lightly with her steps, revealing her ankles in exquisite embroidered shoes from time to time.

Raindrops danced on the oil-paper umbrella, making a rustling sound.

The woman's face was covered by a light veil, leaving only a pair of bright eyes that revealed a profound glow.

"Paper Puppet, long time no see, you have become more human-like."

"You should have broken through, right."

Ye Bai said with a smile.

The Paper Puppet nodded, and a voice as crisp as an oriole bird rang out: "Thanks to you, I completed the final transformation, and my attribute has also become Holy."

"The old man told me to tell you: once you are back, come quickly to check on the status of the Sun-Day Golden Chicken, and do not dump all the dirty and tiring work onto yourself."

"Otherwise, he will be angry."

"He already ran off after hearing you were back."

Ye Bai wiped the sweat from his forehead; this really was the old man's style.

However, he had returned this time with the intention of curing the Sun-Day Golden Chicken.

"Are you here to pick me up?"

"I have already found a way for the Sun-Day Golden Chicken."

The Paper Puppet casually opened space, letting Ye Bai walk inside.

As the space gradually closed, Ye Bai also disappeared from the spot.

Ye Bai saw the Sun-Day Golden Chicken watching television with great interest inside the Culture Dish.

He checked the test reports from this period and was surprised to find that the brain cells of the Sun-Day Golden Chicken were quite active.

"Sun-Day Golden Chicken, I have come today to help you recover as you were."

"As for wanting to evolve you to the next stage, that can only depend on your own efforts."

"I will provide you with a direction; if you can obtain the Golden Crow blood, I will help you evolve into a Sun-Day Golden Crow."

"Come out, Heaven-Swallowing Pelican."

The massive Heaven-Swallowing Pelican appeared, and the Taiji pattern on its back looked quite conspicuous.

"Devour the Space Origin inside the Sun-Day Golden Chicken's body."

Back then, the angel used its own Space Origin as a curse and used the Great Cut technique to cut the Sun-Day Golden Chicken's body.

And the way to make the Sun-Day Golden Chicken recover as it was, was to absorb the Space Origin remaining inside the Sun-Day Golden Chicken's body.

The Heaven-Swallowing Pelican happened to be the best at this, so it devoured the Space Origin without any effort.

As the Space Origin was extracted, the Sun-Day Golden Chicken's torn-apart body gradually recovered.

Endless flames spread over the Sun-Day Golden Chicken, and it emerged from the Culture Dish like a scorching sun.

The nutrient solution on its body was all burned dry by the flames.

The Sun-Day Golden Chicken felt that its whole body was full of power.

"By the way, this is the bill, please settle it."

The paper puppet produced a long bill, and when the Sun Golden Chicken saw the numbers on it clearly, its eyes rolled back, and it fainted completely.

Upon receiving the news, Youji also arrived at Anbao Hall.

As a result, he discovered the Sun Golden Chicken lying on the ground, unconscious.

"What happened to the Sun Golden Chicken?"

Youji was somewhat puzzled.

"Oh, it fainted after reading the bill I wrote."

"Since you, State-Protecting Pillar Youji, have arrived, the bill can be given to you instead."

Coincidentally, when Youji saw the numbers on the bill, he performed the same action as the Sun Golden Chicken, his eyes rolling back as he collapsed to the ground.

The two of them became brothers in misfortune.

Having regained consciousness, Youji let out a long sigh: "Can this cost be reduced at all?"

"It can." Ye Bai nodded.

"The Golden Crow Blood I need is in the Haoshen Abyss."

"As long as the Sun Golden Chicken helps me seize six drops of Golden Crow Blood, this bill will be settled in full."

"Furthermore, Golden Crow Blood has unique efficacy for the Sun Golden Chicken's evolution into a Sun Golden Crow."

Only then did Youji's complexion look better; just a moment ago, his face had been as white as a freshly painted white wall.

"Golden Crow Blood, is it? I will keep an eye out for it."

"That area of the Haoshen Abyss is very important; once the Angel Army invades there, we will become extremely passive."

"After the Sun Golden Chicken is healed, I will be stationed at the Haoshen Abyss to liberate Chenlong, as he has more important places that need guarding."

After Youji and the Sun Golden Chicken left.

Ye Bai took out the Beast Cards containing the Sword Turtle and Shield Turtle, placing them one by one into the Culture Dish.

At the same time, a pitch-black object was also placed into the Culture Dish by Ye Bai.

The cells of the Sword Turtle and Shield Turtle were absorbing the nutrient solution with rapturous delight.

These nutrient solutions, mixed with Heavenly Dew and Life Essence, were of immense help to both the Sword Turtle and the Shield Turtle.

One day later, a head of golden long hair sprouted from the pitch-black object.

Black charcoal—this was actually that Siren.

It had faced the impact of the explosion head-on, but it had not expected the shockwave to be so severe that even it was blown away.

When it finally woke up, the first thing it saw was Ye Bai.

"Siren."

"This is Anbao Hall, a place where I am staying temporarily."

"Your injuries are very severe; stay in the nutrient solution for now to repair your body."

"Rest assured, once you are healed, I will release you."

"The human world is too dangerous; one must have an extra sense of caution."

The Siren was severely injured, and after listening to Ye Bai's long-winded speech, it was almost rolling its eyes.

However, considering that the nutrient solution was indeed effective, the Siren simply closed its eyes to avoid suffering Ye Bai's poison.

The Sword Turtle and Shield Turtle respected Ye Bai very much; it was he who had allowed these two Pet Beasts to escape their sea of suffering.

"Next, I will heal the Sword Turtle and Shield Turtle first."

"For the Siren, this should be a long-term treatment process."

Once the Siren was healed, Ye Bai intended to keep the Siren at his Research Institute to serve as his assistant.

She possessed immense strength, was skilled in sonic attacks, and could even enslave other Exotic Beasts through sound waves.

If he could fully develop the Siren's abilities, it would be equivalent to having a personal bodyguard.

After returning to Yan Country, Ye Bai rested for a few days until some bad news arrived.
