Chapter 1206

After Zuo Qiulin left, Li Zhangsheng opened his right hand, revealing a clump of jade-like powder that slipped through his fingers.

Li Zhangsheng had just used the Psychic Jade to have a brief exchange with the two elderly Blue Universe Kun, learning some information from them, such as the total number of Blue Universe Kun possessed by the Langya Qu Clan.

Psychic Jade: A disposable exotic treasure that allows a person to have a brief mental exchange with wild spirit beasts.

After the two Blue Universe Kun were offered up by the Langya Qu Clan, they had become disillusioned with the clan; furthermore, they could sense the power Li Zhangsheng faintly exuded, so they did not hold anything back.

The Langya Qu Clan had a total of eight Blue Universe Kun; excluding these two elderly ones, six remained, some of which had already been contracted. This was the main reason why Li Zhangsheng offered an extra Ten Directions Nether Pill if the Langya Qu Clan offered more than five Blue Universe Kun.

Without a doubt, he wanted to round up this entire batch of Blue Universe Kun.

With this batch of Blue Universe Kun, it likely wouldn't take long to gather enough Kun fish essence blood to help Datou advance further.

As for how the Langya Qu Clan obtained this batch of Blue Universe Kun, it was related to their king who had passed away many years ago.

Over a hundred years ago, when the Qu Clan king went out, he subdued two Blue Universe Kun—the very two elderly ones before him—and brought them back to the family.

After a hundred years of breeding, the number of Blue Universe Kun reached eight.

This situation was quite normal; basically, all factions cultivated excellent wild spirit beasts in this way to strengthen the family's potential.

After putting away the two Blue Universe Kun, Li Zhangsheng took a look at the other wild spirit beasts imprisoned in the Steel Cage.

Although these wild spirit beasts were of varying quality, they generally met Li Zhangsheng's requirements, namely possessing a Pure Grade bloodline of a certain divine beast.

In the span of two or three breaths, Li Zhangsheng finished his inspection.

The vast majority of these wild spirit beasts had Pure Grade bloodlines; those with Concentrated Grade or Vigorous Grade bloodlines were less than one in ten, and there was not a single Quasi-God or Demigod among them.

Regardless of whether it was an individual or a faction, even if they valued the Emperor Flowing Plasma quota, they often chose to keep the highest-quality wild spirit beasts for internal use rather than offering them to Li Zhangsheng.

Therefore, these wild spirit beasts either had low bloodline concentration or were near the end of their lifespans and unable to continue breeding, making them a case of recycling waste.

Li Zhangsheng naturally accepted them all, placing these wild spirit beasts into the Secret Realm that had already been promoted to a Blessed Land.

According to Li Zhangsheng's estimation, once these factions no longer had elderly wild spirit beasts that met the requirements, they would often have no choice but to offer younger ones.

Given the importance of the Emperor Flowing Plasma quota, these factions would certainly choose to compromise, which was why Li Zhangsheng was not in a hurry.

Besides these wild spirit beasts, there were naturally some wild spirit beast carcasses; unexpectedly, their number was not as high as the living wild spirit beasts, not even half.

Thinking about it, it was normal; living wild spirit beasts had higher value, so these factions and individuals naturally wouldn't kill them before offering them, only being able to bring out some that had died recently, which led to this situation.

Not long after, Li Zhangsheng returned to the palace and began to process this batch of wild spirit beasts and carcasses.

By the old rule, he extracted blood from the wild spirit beasts, kept them in a healthy state, and let them live in a designated area of the Secret Realm.

Both sides could be considered to be in a mutually beneficial relationship; Li Zhangsheng guaranteed their safety and food, and in exchange, they donated blood every so often.

Due to the large quantity, it took Li Zhangsheng a day or two to finally refine these blood samples and carcasses into various Divine Beast Essence Blood.

This also meant the Dissolving Agent in his possession was nearly exhausted, and he had to replenish a batch of raw materials.

With the output from the Abyss Gate in the Langya Kingdom, Dai Kingdom, and Hu Kingdom, he feared it wouldn't keep up with his consumption rate, especially for high-level demons and top-tier Demon Heart, which could only be purchased from other countries.

The results of this purification were also quite gratifying, totaling dozens of jars of Divine Beast Essence Blood, though the quantity of each type was not large—at most two or three jars, and at least only two test tubes.

With the addition of this essence blood, the time for Aixi, Adai, and other demon pets to evolve into divine beasts was further shortened.

Among them, Li Zhangsheng handed the four jars of Nine-tailed Snow Fox Essence Blood he had collected to Ning Bizhen, allowing her Three-tailed Snow Fox to evolve continuously and leap to become an Eight-tailed Snow Fox.

The Eight-tailed Snow Fox possessed eight fluffy, snow-white long tails, and its appearance could be described as quite stunning.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Eight-tailed Snow Fox (Growth Stage, Demi-God Beast)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Lord Rank 1

【Spirit Beast Race】: Intermediate Sovereign

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Half-Step Legendary (Guaranteed to break through to Demon Saint level, slightly increases the probability of breaking through to Demon Emperor level)

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Nine-tailed Snow Fox (Robust)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Fire Element

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: None (Mysterious Jade Ginseng eliminated the attribute weakness)

During the continuous evolution, the quality of the Eight-tailed Snow Fox was elevated from Epic to Half-Step Legendary, becoming the first Half-Step Legendary quality demon pet in Ning Bizhen's hands.

The reason for the improvement in the Eight-tailed Snow Fox's quality, besides the continuous evolution, was also related to Ning Bizhen feeding it two Origin of Ice.

These two Origin of Ice were treasures Ning Bizhen obtained from one of the Yuanchen Treasure Pillars in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm; not long ago, Ning Bizhen wanted to take a gamble on the probability and fed both Origin of Ice to it.

Unfortunately, it ended in failure, but unexpectedly, this continuous evolution allowed the Eight-tailed Snow Fox's quality to rise.

Upon learning that the Eight-tailed Snow Fox possessed Half-Step Legendary quality, Ning Bizhen hugged the person-sized Eight-tailed Snow Fox, unable to contain her excitement.

"Bitch!"

Suddenly, the Long-eared Cold Jade Rabbit watching from the side spoke in human language, its eyes filled with raging fire as it looked at the Eight-tailed Snow Fox.

The Long-eared Cold Jade Rabbit was usually quite lazy; it had no interest in the Common Tongue, but instead had a special fondness for swear words.

Although the voice was small, both people present were kings, so they naturally heard it clearly.

Li Zhangsheng smiled; he could guess why the Long-eared Cold Jade Rabbit was like this.

Not long ago, Ning Bizhen had played favorites and given the two Origin of Ice to the then-Three-tailed Snow Fox to absorb, rather than to the Long-eared Cold Jade Rabbit, which was also of the ice attribute; this had put the Long-eared Cold Jade Rabbit in a very bad mood, and now that the Eight-tailed Snow Fox's quality had risen again, it felt its status was under an extremely serious threat.

The Long-eared Cold Jade Rabbit felt that its status would sooner or later be replaced by the Eight-tailed Snow Fox, especially since the master doted on the Eight-tailed Snow Fox more, so its anger naturally surged up.

The Eight-tailed Snow Fox glanced sideways at the Long-eared Cold Jade Rabbit, a cunning look flashing in its scarlet eyes, and it continued to act coquettishly toward Ning Bizhen as if it hadn't heard anything.

As for the Long-eared Cold Jade Rabbit, it naturally could not avoid a lecture from Ning Bizhen, who hoped the two demon pets could cast aside their previous grudges and help each other in a friendly manner.
