Chapter 424: The Metamorphosis of Yuangungun (Second Update, requesting everything)

After being baptized in the Bloodline Cleansing Pool, Yuangungun's two Quasi-God Bloodlines merged into one; to evolve it, one must consume the Spirit Essence of both a Feifei and a Wind Civet simultaneously.

Li Zhangsheng took one jar of each of these two types of Spirit Essence and strictly controlled their quantities, as a severe imbalance between the two could likely lead to unpredictable consequences.

"Yuangungun, it's your turn to evolve!"

As Li Zhangsheng's voice fell, Yuangungun walked over slowly.

Unlike his other Demon Pets, Yuangungun did not feel overly excited about increasing his strength; his excitement was entirely focused on food and sleep.

Without hesitation, Yuangungun opened his large mouth, and a powerful suction force was generated; like a giant whale drinking water, the Spirit Essence in the two Jade Ceramic Jars turned into a stream of blood and fell into his mouth.

Yuangungun smacked his lips, revealing an expression of wanting more; the Spirit Essence of the Feifei and the Wind Civet not only lacked a bloody smell, but instead had a strange, delicate fragrance, and was unexpectedly delicious.

In the blink of an eye, the two jars of Spirit Essence began to fuse with Yuangungun's blood.

Yuangungun only felt as if the blood in his body were boiling; there was not a single place on his body that did not ache, and the itching was unbearable.

However, compared to the Bloodline Cleansing, this pain was naturally much lighter and still within Yuangungun's tolerance.

In an instant, Yuangungun's entire body began to bloom with white and cyan light, and his round physique expanded like a balloon.

In Yuangungun's Consciousness Sea, the phantoms of the Feifei and the Wind Civet appeared; their eyes were dull, lacking even the slightest bit of spirituality, and they were quickly completely devoured by Yuangungun, who obtained their inheritance.

It took about half an hour for the evolutionary radiance enveloping Yuangungun to slowly retract, revealing his increasingly fat physique.

Feili~

Yuangungun touched his round belly; his short, stubby hands still could not reach his navel, and were even still some distance away from it.

With the help of these two jars of Spirit Essence, Yuangungun successfully completed his evolution; his aura was quite astonishing, seemingly no less inferior to the Crowned Blazing Bird or Kailan.

After this evolution, Yuangungun, who had always lacked presence, seemed to possess the strength to compete for the position of second Demon Pet.

Compared to before the evolution, Yuangungun's height had grown to seven meters—well, his body width was also seven meters—the fox tail behind his buttocks had become longer than before, and there were some markings resembling a civet cat on his body.

Li Zhangsheng immediately began to check Yuangungun's data.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Unknown (Growth Stage)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Elite 8th Rank

【Spirit Beast Race】: High-Level Monarch

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Top Grade

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Feili Bloodline (Rich, formed by the fusion of Wind Civet and Feifei bloodlines)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Wind + Ice

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: None

Unknown Spirit Beast: Wind + Ice Attribute, giant Spirit Beast, gentle and lazy temperament, possesses immense strength, extremely strong defense, attacks mainly focus on melee, average speed, and possesses extremely abundant stamina.

Race Trait: Thick Fat

"Eh, still a single trait!"

Li Zhangsheng exclaimed in surprise; he had originally thought another trait would be added, but in the end, there was nothing.

However, this was also fine; Li Zhangsheng still wanted to try to have Yuangungun comprehend the Eternal Indestructible Body trait.

After devouring the two jars of Spirit Essence, Yuangungun's bloodline rose from its original Pure state to Rich, which also caused his race to undergo a major change, rising directly from High-level Commander to High-Level Monarch, with a significant increase in strength.

However, compared to other official Demon Pets, the future of Yuangungun, who had fused two Quasi-God Bloodlines, was difficult to predict, and it was unknown what level he could ultimately reach.

According to Li Zhangsheng's guess, the fusion of two Quasi-God Bloodlines was likely at the level of a mid-to-low-level Divine Beast.

"Yuangungun, what kind of inheritance did you obtain this time?" Li Zhangsheng began to establish a mental connection with Yuangungun.

Soon, Yuangungun transmitted a piece of information to him.

This time, Yuangungun did not gain a new trait, but he did obtain two Bloodline Inheritance Skills.

The first was the Wind Sweeping Clouds skill, which used a gale to forcibly blow enemies away and inflict a certain amount of damage upon them.

This was a relatively special support skill, especially suitable for use when being swarmed, as it could reduce the number of enemies in the immediate area for a certain period of time.

Of course, whether one could successfully blow the enemies away mainly depended on the weight of the opponent; if the opponent's weight was too high, Wind Sweeping Clouds would not have much effect.

The second was the Ice Prayer skill, which was a rare recovery skill for the Ice Attribute; it could quickly recover injuries, but could only recover himself or other Demon Pets that were also of the Ice Attribute.

Compared to the Bloodline Inheritance Skills of Divine Beasts, the Bloodline Inheritance Skills of Quasi-Gods were still quite a bit inferior, which was a very normal thing.

At this moment, Yuangungun picked Li Zhangsheng up with one hand and placed him on his exceptionally thick shoulder, thereby expressing his gratitude toward Li Zhangsheng.

After the celebration was over, Li Zhangsheng landed lightly on the ground.

"I plan to make a trip to the Cai Clan Manor. Kailan, Three-Legged Fire Crow, and Cold Jade Rabbit, I leave this place to you for now. If an accident occurs, you have the authority to kill them directly."

The "them" here referred to Cai Yangqian and Di Zhuo; Li Zhangsheng naturally did not want Di Zhuo to escape, as that would cause him trouble. Being targeted by a Lord-level Demon Pet, and not just an ordinary Lord-level Demon Pet at that, was enough to give him a headache just thinking about it.

Although a living Di Zhuo was more valuable, it didn't matter much if it died; in any case, Li Zhangsheng could not contract Di Zhuo.

There were three reasons: Di Zhuo was a Lord-level Demon Pet, and Li Zhangsheng had not reached the requirements for a contract; Di Zhuo saw Cai Yangqian first, so the possibility of it being fiercely loyal was extremely high; if Cai Yangqian died, Di Zhuo would inevitably suffer a backlash, and its potential would certainly drop significantly.

"We are here, so you can go with peace of mind!" Kailan replied on behalf of the other two Demon Pets.

Li Zhangsheng used Flying Through the Void and flew directly toward the brightly lit Cai Clan Manor.

He did not use Illusion Wings, mainly because Illusion Wings were too conspicuous, and he had put on the Human Skin Mask.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng approached the Cai Clan Manor.

At the entrance of the Cai Clan Manor, there were a total of ten guards keeping watch.

Li Zhangsheng naturally did not enter through the main gate; as he stealthily approached a perimeter wall, he suddenly disappeared.

When he reappeared, he had already entered the Cai Clan Manor and was standing on a rooftop.

Because large-scale Restrictions consumed too much energy, the Cai Clan Manor did not have large-scale Restrictions set up, only some small-scale Restrictions in certain Important Areas.

However, the internal patrols of the Cai Clan Manor were very strict, with Monster Tamers leading the patrols, and they were also equipped with Demon Pets that had keen senses of smell.

Li Zhangsheng cast the Breath Concealment Secret Technique on himself, concealing most of his aura.

In fact, even if Li Zhangsheng were discovered, he was confident he could escape.

There was no help for it; the Cai Clan had only one Fifth-tier Beastmaster and two Fourth-tier ones in total, and having lost the Fifth-tier Cai Yangqian, the others posed little threat to Li Zhangsheng.

Li Zhangsheng observed from the rooftop for a moment, identified the direction slightly, and then snuck toward the direction of Cai Yangqian's courtyard.

However, on the way, Li Zhangsheng suddenly stopped his footsteps, staring at an imposing three-story building not far away.

"The Library Pavilion!"

Li Zhangsheng had heard Cai Yangqian say that the Library Pavilion was one of the most important places in the Cai Clan, housing the classics, Secret Techniques, and Monster Tamer manuals that the Cai Clan had acquired over the years.

Knowledge is often the most important heritage of a clan.

If a clan's knowledge suffers a gap, it will inevitably lead to a lack of successors, and the declining quality of the descendants being cultivated will lead to very serious consequences; it can be said to be the key to a clan's rise and fall.

Li Zhangsheng had no intention of slaughtering the Cai Clan; with his strength alone, that was too unrealistic, and it would be very detrimental to his reputation, with the disadvantages outweighing the advantages.

However, the Cai Clan was Cai Yangqian's clan after all; how could he not give them some punishment? Li Zhangsheng decided to take a stroll through the Cai Clan's most important locations, naturally including the Library Pavilion before him.

There were no guards outside the door of the Library Pavilion, but due to its importance, it was not only protected by an energy Restriction but also guarded year-round by two Clan Elders taking turns.

The strength of the Restriction here was quite high; even if a Fifth-tier Beastmaster came, they would have to spend quite a bit of effort to break it.

However, this was no issue for Li Zhangsheng, who possessed the Cai Clan Leader Token; he could enter the Library Pavilion directly without being affected by the Restriction.

Li Zhangsheng hung the Cai Clan Leader Token directly at his waist, and as he approached the Library Pavilion, the token emitted a faint radiance.

The next moment, the earth-yellow Restriction automatically opened a portal, just enough to allow one person to pass through.

After stepping inside, the initial portal quickly vanished.

Li Zhangsheng swaggered into the Library Pavilion, where he saw a Cai Clan Elder reading by lamplight.

"A junior coming over so late? Eh, you look very unfamiliar; no, you are not from our..." Upon seeing Li Zhangsheng's face, this Cai Clan Elder first showed an expression of surprise, and immediately after, he saw the Cai Clan Leader Token hanging at Li Zhangsheng's waist, his eyes instantly widening.

Thud~

Li Zhangsheng used a hand strike to knock the completely unprepared Cai Clan Elder unconscious and stuffed a pill into his mouth.

This was a pill condensed from a large amount of Sleep Powder; with the dosage of this pill, it was guaranteed to let this Clan Elder have a full night's sleep.

The area of the Library Pavilion was very large, at least a thousand square meters, and what met his eyes were dense rows of bookshelves, on which were placed all kinds of dazzling books.

As expected of the longer-established Cai Clan, the collection in the Library Pavilion far exceeded that of the Li Family; the first floor alone likely contained nearly one hundred thousand volumes.

Among them, there was no lack of rare editions!

Li Zhangsheng took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

Although most of the books were of no use to him, the remainder were enough to broaden his horizons and learning, and improve his level of knowledge.

Furthermore, if he brought these books back to his clan, it would be enough to significantly increase the clan's foundation and cultivate more excellent clan descendants.

Li Zhangsheng naturally would not miss this, and he prepared to sweep up all the books here.
