Chapter 550: Neither Bird nor Fish (Second update, requesting everything)

In two adjacent cages, each held an adult Silver-Eyed Roc, which were currently glaring at Li Zhangsheng with ferocious gazes.

Li Zhangsheng walked in front of a cage holding a Silver-Eyed Roc, stretched out both hands, and a black gold dragon spear over ten meters long automatically manifested, which he gripped in his hands.

Whoosh—

Accompanied by a whistling sound, the Black Gold Dragon Spear transformed into a residual shadow, precisely piercing into the gap of the cage.

Caw—

The Silver-Eyed Roc had no time to react before its throat was easily pierced by the Black Gold Dragon Spear; blood sprayed wildly, and it let out a piercing, mournful cry.

Because Misha Yuan Gang Stone had been added, the Black Gold Dragon Spear possessed a certain degree of armor-breaking ability; with this strike, Li Zhangsheng felt almost no resistance, as if he were piercing through a layer of tofu.

Under the influence of his Mental Power, the blood did not fall to the ground but instead hovered in unison.

Caw—

At this moment, the other Silver-Eyed Roc was startled and likewise let out a sharp cry.

Li Zhangsheng casually withdrew the Black Gold Dragon Spear and, under the terrified gaze of the other Silver-Eyed Roc, thrust it into the cage gap once more, pinning it dead inside the cage.

Even though the Black Gold Dragon Spear was over ten meters long, it remained as nimble as an extension of his own arm in Li Zhangsheng's hands; this was the benefit of powerful Mental Power, allowing him to easily achieve the level of precise control.

After the two Silver-Eyed Rocs were dead, Li Zhangsheng then opened the cages and collected their corpses and the sprayed blood.

Li Zhangsheng did not leave and began to repeat the previous actions, only this time the targets were changed to other wild Spirit Beasts.

With every strike, he could kill one, never missing.

This was mainly related to the cages; the wild Spirit Beasts confined in the cages not only lacked room to maneuver but were also severely restricted in strength by the cages' Restrictions, leaving them with no ability to resist.

It only took about ten minutes for all the corpses of these Spirit Beasts to be collected by Li Zhangsheng; not even a trace of blood was left at the scene, as Li Zhangsheng took it all away.

Li Zhangsheng did not linger here; he retracted the red, yellow, and blue three-colored Restriction and left the room.

At this time, Steward Li Tong was respectfully waiting at the entrance of the basement, and upon seeing Li Zhangsheng come out, he hurriedly trotted up to him.

"How much did this batch of Spirit Beasts cost?"

"Less than four thousand Soul Crystals, Master. Shall we continue to acquire them?"

"Continue. If it's not enough, you can appropriately increase the acquisition price!"

Li Zhangsheng did not specify that he wanted dead Spirit Beasts or flesh and blood; the reason was simple: Spirit Beasts that had been dead for a period of time would lose their activity, and where would he find so many Active Potions?

"Have you heard any information about these Spirit Beast groups?"

In addition to acquiring wild Spirit Beasts that met his requirements, Li Zhangsheng would also acquire news about their groups.

In this world, the most numerous were low-tier Monster Tamers; they might discover their tracks, but because they lacked sufficient strength, they could only sell the information.

"A total of two groups were heard of: the Thunder Cloud Storm Tiger group and the Red Li Bird group. The former only has three, while the latter has over a dozen."

Steward Li Tong then told Li Zhangsheng the habitats of the two groups; the Thunder Cloud Storm Tiger possessed a Concentrated Grade White Tiger Bloodline, while the Red Li Bird possessed a Pure Grade Vermilion Bird Bloodline.

"By the way, purchase news about the Black Dragon for me with a heavy reward!"

As long as he collected a little more Ancestral Black Dragon Essence Blood, the Black Dragon could evolve again, so Li Zhangsheng was naturally concerned.

The Black Dragon was, after all, a top-tier Exotic Beast; there were likely not many wild Black Dragons in the entire Langya Kingdom, and coupled with its inherent value, whether he could purchase news of a wild Black Dragon remained an unknown.

However, how would he know if he didn't try?

"Yes!"

What else could Steward Li Tong say? He could only agree.

Li Zhangsheng went straight out of the Starry Sky Auction House, and ten minutes later, with the cooperation of Ning Bizhen, he entered the Number One Courtyard without anyone knowing.

The two chatted for a few moments, and Li Zhangsheng hung up the seclusion sign again, preparing to refine the Spirit Essence of this batch of Spirit Beasts.

According to custom, the important ones were refined last, so the Silver-Eyed Roc naturally fell to the end.

Under Li Zhangsheng's practiced refining, it took four or five hours to finally finish refining all the Spirit Beast corpses except for the Silver-Eyed Rocs.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng placed the two Silver-Eyed Roc corpses on the smelting table and became busy again.

After ten minutes, the Silver-Eyed Roc corpses disappeared, replaced by a bucket of viscous Spirit Essence.

"No high-level Bloodline Imprint, very good!"

Li Zhangsheng muttered to himself and began to pour in the Dissolving Agent, refining the excess Bloodline Imprints in the Spirit Essence, until finally only the Golden-Winged Roc bloodline remained.

"Mission accomplished!"

After completing all the steps, less than a bowl of Spirit Essence remained from the bucket.

Although the quantity was not large, it was decisive; after pouring this Spirit Essence into the Jade Ceramic Jar, it not only filled the Jade Ceramic Jar but also left enough for a test tube.

In this way, Li Zhangsheng successfully gathered a large jar of Golden-Winged Roc Spirit Essence.

Besides this, Li Zhangsheng also collected a large jar of Nine-Eyed Marten Spirit Essence, preparing to give it to Ning Bizhen.

He believed that with this jar of Nine-Eyed Marten Spirit Essence, Ning Bizhen's Dark Night Marten would be able to complete its evolution; Li Zhangsheng was very curious about whether the Dark Night Marten's quality could advance further.

"Come out, Giant Whale Kun!"

In the backyard, Li Zhangsheng couldn't wait to summon the Giant Whale Kun.

The Giant Whale Kun landed in the pond, first looking at Li Zhangsheng subconsciously, then as if it had sensed something, its eyes, which were as big as soccer balls, immediately locked onto the Jade Ceramic Jar and could not look away.

Woo—woo—

The Giant Whale Kun seemed to remember something and immediately let out a high-pitched sound, full of excitement, as if it were saying that it was finally its turn to evolve.

"Come, open your mouth!"

The Giant Whale Kun obediently opened its big mouth, and the Spirit Essence in the Jade Ceramic Jar transformed into a column of blood, rushing into the Giant Whale Kun's mouth in a flash.

The Giant Whale Kun smacked its lips, then lay on the edge of the pond, working hard to digest the Golden-Winged Roc Spirit Essence.

The next moment, the Giant Whale Kun suddenly shone brightly, enveloped in rich, pale cyan light; the Golden-Winged Roc Spirit Essence was rapidly digested, quickly increasing the concentration of the Golden-Winged Roc bloodline within the Giant Whale Kun.

When the pale cyan light condensed to the extreme, a phantom of a Golden-Winged Roc suddenly formed above the Giant Whale Kun's head, becoming clear at a rapid speed and growing larger and larger until it reached over twenty meters in length before it finally stopped.

The Golden-Winged Roc phantom was covered in golden feathers; it stretched its neck and let out a long cry, its eyes containing majesty, the only flaw being that its eyes were completely devoid of spirit.

This phantom naturally did not carry the will of the Golden-Winged Roc; after all, in the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, the Golden-Winged Roc was not as rare as the Spirit King, Time Dragon, Candle Dragon, Di Jiang, or the Hundred-Armed Giant.

Without waiting long, the phantom of the Golden-Winged Great Peng bird let out a silent cry toward the sky, then dove down, instantly rushing into the body of the Giant Whale Kun.

At the same time, in the Consciousness Sea of the Giant Whale Kun, a phantom of the Golden-Winged Great Peng bird with dull eyes appeared.

The Giant Whale Kun hurriedly controlled its own consciousness to pounce on it, frantically tearing at the phantom of the Golden-Winged Great Peng bird, and a large amount of fragmented knowledge began to inexplicably surge into its mind.

Very quickly, the Giant Whale Kun completely devoured the phantom of the Golden-Winged Great Peng bird.

During this process, the appearance of the Giant Whale Kun began to change; not only did its original miniature wings swell, but several long golden tail feathers suddenly sprouted from its tail, its originally round head began to grow long and pointed, and even a sharp Bird Beak grew on its mouth.

Soon, the Giant Whale Kun completed its transformation.

The Giant Whale Kun opened its eyes, and its eyes had also changed; they looked like a bird's yet also like a fish's, not only failing to give a sense of majesty, but instead giving one a sense of absurdity.

This was simply a hybrid of a Kun fish and a Golden-Winged Great Peng bird, completely a creature that looked like nothing at all; it was neither bird nor fish, and in particular, the combat power of the Giant Whale Kun had not necessarily been improved.

Due to the bird wings and tail feathers, the speed of the Giant Whale Kun in the Water Attribute would inevitably be significantly weakened; in the air, due to the overly heavy and fat body of the Giant Whale Kun, its speed and agility were also inferior to the Golden-Eyed Great Peng bird.

It could be said that if the Bloodline were not fused, the combat power of the Giant Whale Kun at this moment might not even be as good as before.

Li Zhangsheng had long been prepared, and without looking at the data of the Giant Whale Kun, he directly took out the Bloodline Fusion Crystal he had exchanged from Shen Haofei from his Space Ring.

Bloodline Fusion Crystal: Heaven and Earth Essence, has a certain probability of fusing multiple Bloodlines of a Spirit Beast into a brand-new Bloodline; the probability is related to the quality of the Demon Pet itself; the higher the quality, the greater the probability.

"I hope it can succeed. No, I should still bring Bizhen over; as long as Bizhen is here, it is far better than so-called bathing, changing clothes, burning incense, and praying."

Li Zhangsheng was ultimately a bit uncertain; with the Concentrated Grade Bloodline of the Giant Whale Kun, the success rate of the Bloodline fusion was likely less than fifty percent.

For this kind of matter that relied on probability, Li Zhangsheng felt it was best to let the "Great Lucky Emperor" Ning Bizhen do it.

The two great "Lucky Emperors" he knew were Ning Bizhen and Li Haoqiong, both of whom were related to him; judging from their luck and experiences, Ning Bizhen was the "Great Lucky Emperor," while Li Haoqiong could only be considered the "Small Lucky Emperor."

Soon, Li Zhangsheng invited the "Great Lucky Emperor" Ning Bizhen.

"Zhangsheng, if it fails, you must not blame me!" Ning Bizhen looked at Li Zhangsheng with a bitter expression, fearing that Li Zhangsheng would lower her impression score.

"Rest assured, it is just a Bloodline Fusion Crystal; even if it fails, I can go to the market and buy another one!"

Although the Bloodline Fusion Crystal was rare, its efficacy was too mediocre, far less popular than treasures that assisted in breakthroughs, improved quality, or increased Bloodline concentration, and it could not be mentioned in the same breath in terms of value.

As long as Li Zhangsheng could afford the price, he would surely be able to purchase a Bloodline Fusion Crystal before long.

"Then I am relieved!"

After Ning Bizhen finished speaking, she threw the Bloodline Fusion Crystal into the mouth of the Giant Whale Kun, then watched the Giant Whale Kun nervously together with Li Zhangsheng, waiting quietly.

Success or failure?
