Chapter 531: Lucky Day and Night (First update, requesting everything)

Li Zhangsheng naturally hoped with all his heart that Bantian's quality would improve; that way, Heiye could also improve its quality by virtue of the Light-Dark Twin Symbiote's special properties.

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng took out the Yuanhe Ten-Color Pearl and released a rich amount of Light-Attribute energy, shrouding Bantian within it.

The Baisheng King Secret Realm had no one to preside over it, and without a Top-Grade Spiritual Root like the Red Fire Dragon Scale Tree to suppress the Secret Realm, it was naturally unable to absorb energy from the outside world.

As for the original energy of the Baisheng King Secret Realm, it had likely long since been concentrated by the Baisheng King to provide energy for the Treasure Vats.

Within a few breaths, Bantian revealed a look of pain; it felt a warm current appear in its stomach, spreading in all directions at an extremely fast speed.

During this process, the muscles all over Bantian's body began to squirm, giving the impression that a large number of insects were burrowing back and forth inside its blood vessels, creating a hair-raising sensation.

Bantian's flesh and blood were tearing, its internal organs were pounding, and its bones even felt numb; whenever it was about to be unable to endure, a magical force would always appear, and with the help of this force, its flesh, internal organs, and bones would all return to normal, with their strength even subtly increasing.

Li Zhangsheng's Mental Power was constantly in an externalized state, observing Bantian's changes; he could "see" the light spot representing Bantian flickering violently, emitting an increasingly intense radiance.

As time passed, a large amount of Light-Attribute energy gathered around Bantian, turning into a thick, mist-like energy, giving the impression of a giant cocoon of light.

This was a sign of a quality leap; if the energy dissipated halfway, it would mean all previous efforts were wasted.

Li Zhangsheng became visibly nervous; success or failure hinged on this one move.

Suddenly, a funnel-shaped vortex appeared, and like a long whale sucking in water, it rapidly devoured the Light-Attribute energy attached to the body's surface, then immediately began to suck in the nearby Light-Attribute energy.

With the Yuanhe Ten-Color Pearl supplying it, there was naturally no shortage of energy.

These energies swarmed into Bantian's body, beginning to accelerate the transformation of its physique.

This process lasted for a full twenty minutes or so before Bantian finally stopped devouring the Light-Attribute energy.

At this moment, Bantian's body swelled rapidly as if it were a balloon, looking quite thrilling, then returned to its original appearance, only to swell up again; this repeated 24 times before it finally came to an end.

Only then did Bantian slowly open its eyes and stand up from the ground; a crackling sound, like firecrackers, emanated from its petite body.

Meow~

Bantian called out to Li Zhangsheng in a cute and naive way; its aura was far stronger than before, and it had clearly completed a breakthrough, becoming a Lord-level Demon Pet.

Meow~

Just as Bantian completed its transformation, Heiye, who was to the side, hurriedly lay on the ground and entered a state of transformation as well.

Li Zhangsheng naturally released a large amount of Darkness energy early on for Heiye to absorb.

The law of conservation of energy is not just talk; even with the Light-Dark Twin Symbiote, if there is not enough energy of the same attribute, Heiye would not be able to complete the transformation, and some accidents might even occur.

While Heiye entered the transformation stage, Li Zhangsheng couldn't wait to check Bantian's data.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Summer Solstice Light Cat (Growth Stage)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Lord Rank 1

【Spirit Beast Race】: High-level Commander

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Half-Step Epic

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Pale Cat (Pure)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Light

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: None

Seeing the Half-Step Epic quality, Li Zhangsheng finally breathed a sigh of relief; the resources spent this time were not in vain.

Rising from Top-Grade to Half-Step Epic, while its potential greatly increased, its combat power also received a significant boost, and it would be relatively easy to become a Demon King-level Demon Pet in the future.

Besides this, Bantian successfully became a Lord-level Demon Pet, and Heiye, who was still in the middle of transformation, was naturally no exception.

In this way, he suddenly gained two Half-Step Epic quality Lord-level Demon Pets; if their bloodline concentration were increased again, they would definitely become the strongest trump card in Li Zhangsheng's hands.

There was no helping it; Bantian and Heiye were inseparable, the two cats shared a telepathic connection, and their coordination was beyond ordinary, far reaching the point where 1+1 is greater than 2.

Not long after, Heiye repeated the same transformation process that Bantian had just gone through.

In this transformation, their body size did not change, but their fur became more crystalline, feeling much softer than high-quality silk.

Meow~ Meow~

After completing the transformation, Bantian and Heiye looked at each other, and with a tacit understanding, they immediately curled into a ball, turning into a black and white cotton candy, and began to roll around on the ground in a rhythmic fashion.

This gave the impression that they were dancing; of course, this was also the unique way the two cats danced.

The moment the "dance" ended, the two cats ended their cotton candy form and jumped up together; Li Zhangsheng stretched out his hands and hurriedly hugged the two mischievous cats.

The two cats liked to act spoiled and cute; this was also their habitual way of expressing gratitude, and Li Zhangsheng was long since used to it.

"Alright, since everyone has rested, let's continue!"

Li Zhangsheng pointed to the nearest Ice-Type Precious Vat and directed his Demon Pets to continue their attacks.

The Ice-Type Precious Vat, similar to the Thunder-Type Precious Vat, would not suffer from the negative effects of freezing or stiffness as long as one did not engage in close-quarters combat.

Of course, compared to the Thunder-Type Precious Vat, the Ice-Type Precious Vat's defensive power was stronger.

Boom~ Boom~ Boom~

The Demon Pets continuously attacked the various Treasure Vats; some remained motionless, while others were successfully broken open.

After a quarter of an hour passed, the Demon Pets broke open two more Treasure Vats.

One of the vats contained a piece of parchment filled with various formulas, which looked quite familiar.

This piece of parchment was almost identical to the ones that previously recorded the recipes for the Ancient Speed Enhancement Potion and the Ancient Strength Enhancement Potion.

"Another ancient potion series!"

Upon reading the information on it, Li Zhangsheng revealed a smile.

What he had gained this time was the recipe for the Ancient Physique Enhancement Potion, which could permanently increase a Demon Pet's physique, and it only had an effect the first time it was consumed.

As for how much it could specifically increase, it depended on the Demon Pet's quality; based on Li Zhangsheng's experience, Top-Grade Demon Pets could increase by 30%, and Half-Step Epic by 40%.

Physique is very important to Demon Pets; in gaming terms, it is HP, which is the so-called endurance, making the possibility of the Demon Pets dying much lower.

Li Zhangsheng briefly finished reading the recipe, ignoring the auxiliary materials; he already had one of the main materials in his hands, which meant that as long as he collected one more main material, he could produce the Ancient Physique Enhancement Potion.

In the second broken Treasure Vat, Li Zhangsheng obtained an Elemental Crystal slightly smaller than a soccer ball.

It was also Li Zhangsheng's first time seeing such a large Elemental Crystal; given the volume of this Elemental Crystal, he feared it could allow a spirit's Elemental Power to break through to the Vigorous Grade.

The only pity was that this was not the Wood Element Crystal that Kailan needed, but rather a Thunder Element Crystal.

However, for such a large Thunder Element Crystal, in terms of value, it was likely no worse than a Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure Grade treasure.

"It seems I will have to deal with Dou Yuanhua again, but what could he possibly offer this time?"

Among the people Li Zhangsheng knew, only Dou Yuanhua possessed a Thunder Attribute spirit, and he also had sufficient resources to trade for this Thunder Element Crystal.

Since this was something Dou Yuanhua urgently needed, Li Zhangsheng could completely hold out for a better price.

The Demon Pets were still continuing to attack the remaining Treasure Vats; unfortunately, after failing three times in a row, only the last Treasure Vat remained to be tested.

"Last target, attack!"

This time it was a Gold-Type Precious Vat; although its defensive power was not much to speak of, once attacked, it would release a large number of Golden Spears to counterattack based on the intensity.

Regarding the Gold-Type Precious Vat, Li Zhangsheng's Demon Pets were naturally quite familiar.

The Demon Pets were divided into two camps, one for attacking and one for defending; Adai, the Crowned Flame Bird, Yuangungun, the Bright Double-Pupil Bird, and the Xi Mouse were responsible for defense, while the others attacked.

The eight Demon Pets surrounded the Gold-Type Precious Vat and launched a powerful offensive in unison.

The moment the two made contact, the Gold-Type Precious Vat's energy barrier began to shake, and the energy became slightly weaker.

"Eh, there's hope!"

Li Zhangsheng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly commanded the five Demon Pets responsible for defense to guard.

The Gold-Type barrier released a dazzling golden glow, and countless Gold Element energy was drawn out, making the Gold-Type barrier even weaker.

These energies transformed into Golden Spears, each about a zhang long, numbering over a hundred, and shot toward Li Zhangsheng's Demon Pets.

The moment they finished their attack, the eight attacking Demon Pets gathered together, causing these Golden Spears to present themselves from one direction.

Wind Sweeping Clouds!

Yuangungun opened his blood-red maw wide and took a forceful breath, his already extremely round belly bulging high, followed by the exhalation of a large stream of pale cyan airflow.

Under the influence of this airflow, the momentum of the incoming Golden Spears was clearly affected, and their corresponding attack power was weakened to a certain degree.

Five Phoenix Divine Fire Cover!

A five-colored light cover appeared on the surface of the Crowned Flame Bird's body, and the phantoms of the Phoenix, Yuanchu, Qingluan, Zhuque, and Honghu emerged, constantly circling above the light cover.

Bright Sanctuary!

The Bright Double-Pupil Bird immediately unleashed a legacy skill it had only recently comprehended, bestowing a thick Bright Shield upon every friendly Demon Pet.

Earth Gathering!

Earth Protection!

Adai and the Xi Mouse released Earth Element skills in unison, strengthening their defensive capabilities.

Under the influence of various powerful defensive skills, these Golden Spears were unable to break through all the defenses and eventually vanished.

The moment the Golden Spears vanished, Aixi and the other eight Demon Pets also completed their second round of the offensive.

With the concerted efforts of the Demon Pets, the Gold-Type barrier became increasingly weak.

Pop~

After four rounds of attacks, the Gold-Type barrier shattered with a boom and slowly disappeared.

Under the expectant gazes of the Demon Pets, Li Zhangsheng took out a treasure from the Treasure Vat.

Today's goal: Three, pigs, verified!
