Chapter 475: Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast, Mount Shou Red Copper (Two-in-One Chapter)

After consuming the Seven-Colored Rainbow Pearl, Yuangungun felt a special energy spreading throughout its body, causing its entire frame to ache and itch unbearably, while a seven-colored radiance faintly emanated from its skin.

Under the illumination of the seven-colored radiance, Yuangungun's flesh and blood seemed to become transparent; Li Changsheng could faintly see the flesh, meridians, bones, and internal organs inside Yuangungun, and these tissues were frantically devouring the seven-colored energy, gaining a certain degree of reinforcement.

During this process, Yuangungun's body size began to swell.

Although Yuangungun did not have any congenital defects, the energy of the Seven-Colored Rainbow Pearl was quite special and could bring certain benefits to its physique.

When the changes subsided, Yuangungun's height reached 9.9 meters, and its width was the same as its height, making it look like a super-sized meatball.

In terms of weight, Yuangungun was not at all inferior to the 15-meter-long Adai, and it was even possible that it was heavier.

Roar—

After the changes vanished, Yuangungun let out an excited roar, and immediately a Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud condensed beneath it, lifting Yuangungun up and allowing it to soar freely in the low altitude.

With this, among Li Changsheng's official Demon Pets, only the Giant Whale Kun remained unable to fly.

At the moment Yuangungun's transformation ended, the Leopard-Lin Beast beside it emitted crackling silver electric arcs all over its body, and bundles of electricity flickered continuously on its surface like ribbons.

If one observed carefully, one would find that at the core of every bundle of silver electricity, a trace of purple electricity was faintly visible.

During the metamorphosis, the Leopard-Lin Beast kept its eyes tightly shut, revealing a pained expression.

It was also at this time that white light suddenly emerged from the Leopard-Lin Beast's body, a sign that it was about to evolve.

Li Changsheng revealed a joyful smile; his eyes were filled with anticipation, and his Mental Power remained in an externalized state, constantly checking the Leopard-Lin Beast's condition.

In the feedback from his Mental Power, the light spot representing the Leopard-Lin Beast occasionally dimmed, and occasionally became brighter than before.

Within a few breaths, the Leopard-Lin Beast was enveloped by the rich Jianhua Bai Guang, and the purple current contained within the silver electric arcs grew rapidly, beginning to occupy an increasing share.

When the share of purple current reached about twenty percent, these currents finally underwent a change; the purple current suddenly rushed out from the silver current and gathered above the Leopard-Lin Beast's head.

In the blink of an eye, a Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Kirin phantom composed entirely of purple current took shape, appearing clearer and more majestic than before, filled with an astonishing aura of acting on behalf of Heaven to mete out punishment.

Unfortunately, this was ultimately not a living creature.

Under this Pressure, Li Changsheng was not affected much, but the Breath Concealment Restriction was under great stress and was nearing its limit.

Soon, the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Kirin phantom turned into a streak of purple light, dived down, and surged straight into the Leopard-Lin Beast's body.

In an instant, the Leopard-Lin Beast's body emitted 'crack-crack' sounds of bones popping, and its body size began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

During this process, the Leopard-Lin Beast's changes were mainly concentrated on its tail; its tail hair resembled a Dragon Tail, and its head had faintly begun to transform into a lion's head.

Additionally, apart from the neck area, purple scales also appeared on its four hooves, with purple electric arcs crackling and darting across them.

In this metamorphosis, the Leopard-Lin Beast's length grew from seven meters to ten meters, and the two protrusions on its head became much more prominent; it stood to reason that it would grow deer antlers in the next metamorphosis.

Li Changsheng immediately checked the Leopard-Lin Beast's data with anticipation.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast (Growth Stage, Top-tier Exotic Beast)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Elite 1st Rank

【Spirit Beast Race】: High-Level Monarch

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Top-Grade

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Purple Heaven Kirin (Rich)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Thunder Attribute

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: Ice

Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast: A large beast-type Spirit Beast, excelling in speed and melee combat, with superior resistance in its fur and scales, excellent bite force, and is the most adept Spirit Beast at running.

As soon as he saw the quality of the Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast, Li Changsheng immediately revealed a look of wild joy; the quality had sublimated from Superior Quality to Top-Grade, allowing its potential and strength to be greatly enhanced.

Besides this, the Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast was also a Top-tier Exotic Beast; it could reach the Lord level upon reaching adulthood, though for a Top-Grade Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast, this was not even worth mentioning as a bonus.

In this way, compared to Adai and Yuangungun, whether in quality, race, or Bloodline, the Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast was not inferior at all; only its realm was a bit lacking, which would require time to make up for.

Simply put, the Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast had fully met Li Changsheng's contract standards.

The only pity was that its recessive Bloodline Transition state had already disappeared, and it was impossible to have a fourth Bloodline Transition.

Additionally, the Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast had also obtained a deeper level of Bloodline Inheritance from the Purple Heaven Kirin, which was also one of the main gains of the Bloodline Transition.

Before this, Li Changsheng prepared to convert the contract.

Without hesitation, Li Changsheng pricked his index finger; the Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast did not struggle, allowing Li Changsheng to press his index finger onto its forehead.

Due to the Temporary Contract, Li Changsheng only needed to convert the Temporary Contract into a Blood Contract.

At the same time, this was also Li Changsheng's last Blood Contract slot. Unless his rank as a Monster Tamer advanced again, or he obtained a treasure that increased the number of Demon Pet Spaces, he would be unable to sign any more Blood Contracts.

Within a few breaths, the Temporary Contract Imprint on the Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast's forehead was successfully changed into a Blood Contract Imprint, directly branded into the Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast's soul.

The moment the Blood Contract was established, the Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast turned into a streak of light and surged into the mysterious Demon Pet Space.

With Aixi having metamorphosed into a Savage Winged Tiger, plus this Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast, Li Changsheng's cultivation speed would surely receive another boost.

The next moment, Li Changsheng summoned the Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast again, and using the mental channel between them, the two entered into a mental connection and began to communicate silently.

"Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast, what kind of inheritance did you obtain this time?"

In an instant, the Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast transmitted a piece of information to him.

This time, the Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast's Electrocute trait was changed to the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder trait.

Of course, similar to the South Brightness Fire and Sun True Fire traits, the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder trait was also divided into three stages, which were mainly related to the realm; currently, the Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast was still in the first stage.

Purple Heaven Divine Thunder (First Stage): Slightly enhances the power of Thunder Attribute skills and increases the Paralysis effect.

Besides the trait, Bloodline Inheritance Skills were naturally not lacking.

This time, the Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast had once again comprehended a Bloodline Inheritance Skill, and it was a precious halo-type skill.

Lightning Resistance Aura: A passive halo-type skill that can enhance the lightning resistance of friendly Demon Pets within a certain range, reducing the Paralysis and damage caused by lightning; the range of the halo depends on the Spirit Beast's realm.

This was the seventh halo-type skill Li Changsheng had obtained; following the Light Vision Aura, Dark Vision Aura, Life Aura, Wind Speed Aura, Flame Resistance Halo, and Thorn Aura, Li Changsheng's team had added a Lightning Resistance Aura.

Among them, the Thorn Aura was a halo-type skill attached to the Top-Grade Treasure, the Thorn Crown.

As for halo-type skills, Li Changsheng naturally believed the more the better; if a large number of halo-type skills were stacked, the improvement to Demon Pets would be very significant, especially in group battles or on the battlefield.

On the other side, the Treasure-Seeking Mouse had long since completed its advancement.

With this, only the Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast and the Giant Whale Kun remained to reach the Leader rank; the strength of this lineup was enough to make one's scalp tingle.

These temporary spirit pets alone could contend with an ordinary Fifth-tier Beastmaster, not to mention his even stronger official demon pets.

According to Li Zhangsheng's estimation, his strength already surpassed Li Haoqiong, and was likely only slightly inferior to Ning Bizhen when she was still at the Fifth Rank; as for that Liu Xuguang, who was known as the strongest Fifth Rank, the gap was presumably even larger.

Although he had never met Liu Xuguang, the fact that he could suppress many Sixth Rank experts with his Fifth Rank strength to rank among the top 100 in the Langya Kingdom meant his strength was naturally extremely high; otherwise, how could those Sixth-Rank Experts be convinced?

"Kailan, this Bloodline Potion Formula is handed to you!" Li Zhangsheng handed the Bloodline Potion Formula to Kailan.

Potions are all the same in nature, yet they differ in difficulty; compared to the Ancient Speed Enhancement Potion formula, the production difficulty and steps of the Bloodline Potion were far more complex, requiring a great deal of time to master.

Kailan took the scroll and began to look at it with great interest; she was currently very obsessed with Alchemical Pills and potions, and perhaps it was this interest and obsession that allowed her to progress by leaps and bounds.

Interest is the introductory teacher for everything; this is not just a saying.

"Light Blessing Bird, I need you to make a trip to the Li Family Manor and take these to Clan Leader Li Wenbo!"

Li Zhangsheng handed the Jade Bottle containing the six Wanxiang Peiyuan Pills to the Light Blessing Bird, along with an Image Stone.

An Image Stone can briefly store images and sounds; like a Sound Recording Stone, it is a very convenient tool.

These six Wanxiang Peiyuan Pills could at the very least allow the Li Family to gain one more Fifth Rank expert, and there was also a high possibility of cultivating two Fifth Rank experts.

In this way, the Li Family would surely gain great prestige, and in terms of the number of Fifth Rank experts, they could rival a veteran County Gentry.

Chirp~

The Light Blessing Bird let out a low cry, grabbed the Jade Bottle and the Image Stone with its two claws, and began to fly toward Luo City.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng took out a large fragment.

It was a fragment from the explosion of the Prohibition Hub; at the time of the explosion, one piece happened to fly toward Li Zhangsheng, so he casually collected it.

The restrictions of the Xiao Clan Treasure Pavilion could withstand the bombardment of Leader-level demon pets, so one could imagine the material of the Prohibition Hub's carrier.

This was a crimson metal fragment; it felt slightly heavy in the hand, and this piece alone weighed about four or five jin.

Li Zhangsheng tested it a few times and found that this metal fragment was extremely tough and also had the effect of isolating energy, which could effectively prevent energy from dissipating.

"Shoushan Red Copper!"

With such distinctive advantages, Li Zhangsheng immediately recognized the identity of the metal fragment; only Shoushan Red Copper could possess excellent energy-isolating properties on top of being tough.

Shoushan Red Copper is a metal comparable to Gold Essence and Secret Silver, and its value is also calculated by the gram; given the weight of this piece of Shoushan Red Copper, its value was likely around 100,000 Soul Crystals.

Inside this piece of Shoushan Red Copper, there were some circuits drawn with Secret Silver, but due to the explosion, these Secret Silver circuits had become blurred and could no longer be repaired.

Scraping all this Secret Silver off would yield about a few liang, which could be considered an unexpected bonus.

After all matters were concluded, Li Zhangsheng began to make Fairy Food for his demon pets, and the demon pets also spontaneously began their training.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng seemed to sense something; a stream of light passed directly through the restriction of the Number One Courtyard and landed in the backyard—who else could it be but Ning Bizhen?

Just as Li Zhangsheng held the token for Ning Bizhen's courtyard, Ning Bizhen also held the token for the Number One Courtyard and could come and go as she pleased.

Originally, Ning Bizhen's face was full of worry, but when she saw Aixi, she was clearly stunned for a moment.

Ning Bizhen did not doubt it, subconsciously assuming that Li Zhangsheng had contracted another Savage Winged Tiger.

Looking at Li Zhangsheng's 'pale' face, Ning Bizhen could not hide the worry in her eyes, "Zhangsheng, are, are you alright?"

She had personally experienced the price of a Three-Legged Fire Crow burning its Bloodline once, and she knew very well how serious such consequences were.

"Do I look like I'm having any trouble to you!"

While speaking, Li Zhangsheng took off the Hundred-Change Thousand-Illusion Mask, revealing a ruddy and lustrous face that looked more than just Healthy.

Li Zhangsheng had no intention of hiding anything from Ning Bizhen, not only because of their intimate relationship, but also because he believed that with Ning Bizhen's intelligence, she must have guessed some secrets related to him during their interactions.

Of course, guessing is one thing; Li Zhangsheng could not possibly take the initiative to reveal his secrets.

This is not because he doesn't trust Ning Bizhen, but because this world has too many mysterious Secret Techniques and Strange Treasures. One must know that books record World Wonders that can monitor the world, the Six-Eared Macaque that 'the law is not passed to six ears', the Di Ting that can identify all things in the world by listening, or guys with abilities like Clairaudience and Clairvoyance; there are countless such examples, and who knows if your every move will be detected by a third party.

Although the probability is minimal, Li Zhangsheng would not be stupid enough to gamble, and he had long since made up his mind to let these secrets rot in his heart.

Ning Bizhen looked at Li Zhangsheng with suspicion and uncertainty, then suddenly looked at that Savage Winged Tiger, her pupils shrinking; she had vaguely sensed something.

"That Savage Winged Tiger..."

"That's right, it is Aixi; as you can see, it evolved again by accident!"

Li Zhangsheng spread his hands and continued: "I didn't mean to deceive the Principal and the others, it's just that you know this is too shocking; if I were to admit it, I'm afraid even the Yuanling Academy wouldn't be able to protect me!"

Everyone has secrets, but secrets also come in different sizes; Li Zhangsheng's secret was too big, enough to make even an Emperor Rank covet it, let alone others.

"I understand, I will keep your secret."

After the surprise, Ning Bizhen instead let out a long sigh of relief; she was truly afraid that Li Zhangsheng had met with an accident.

"You should stay here for this period of time, so we can practice together; after all, in their eyes, I am already unable to continue practicing!"

Practicing the Four Symbols Star Monster Taming Art would draw down a pillar of starlight; if Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen practiced together, there would be no risk of being discovered, and at the same time, Ning Bizhen could provide him with cover in many ways.
