Chapter 604: Seven Luminaries Star Demon Taming Technique (First update, requesting all votes)

As long as it is a Quasi-God Sprite Egg, it will be of Superior Quality upon hatching; based on normal proportions, a Top-Grade Quasi-God Sprite Egg only appears in about one out of every hundred Quasi-God Sprite Eggs.

There are twenty-seven sprite eggs in this secret chamber, and the probability of a Top-Grade Quasi-God Sprite Egg appearing is slightly over 1/4.

The probability is not high, but it is not low either, so Li Zhangsheng cannot help but feel some anticipation.

Taking a step back, even if there were no Top-Grade Quasi-God Sprite Egg, Li Zhangsheng could settle for the next best thing and tame a Top-tier Heluo Turtle.

From the feedback of his Mental Power, twenty-seven dazzling points of light appeared in Li Zhangsheng's mind, one of which was significantly brighter, exceeding the others by at least one grade.

After more than a year of experimentation, Li Zhangsheng had a sufficient understanding of the brightness of Top-tier Spirit eggs.

This sprite egg definitely reached the category of a Top-tier Spirit egg.

Li Zhangsheng did not act immediately, looking as if he were picking and choosing, occasionally picking up a sprite egg and pretending to observe it carefully.

He had plenty of patience, and after ten minutes of putting on an act, he finally picked up that Top-Grade Quasi-God Sprite Egg.

This was a sprite egg nearly two meters tall, with a large number of green cloud patterns on its surface; the egg was smooth and clean, looking like a large piece of exquisite jade.

"This is the one!"

Li Zhangsheng made his decision; although the Top-tier Heluo Turtle was good, it was undoubtedly a grade lower than the Top-Grade Quasi-God Sprite Egg, and besides, if nothing unexpected happened, he would visit the Core Royal Garden two more times, so if the Top-tier Heluo Turtle was still there, it would not be too late to choose it next time.

After Li Zhangsheng finished his selection, the Demon King-rank white dragon activated the stone slab again, and this secret chamber storing the Quasi-God Sprite Eggs closed once more, disappearing into the stone wall.

"By the way, what kind of sprite egg is this?"

Dou Zhangde said in a stiff tone: "You'll know once you hatch it."

Li Zhangsheng ignored Dou Zhangde and turned to look at the Demon King-rank white dragon.

The Demon King-rank white dragon trembled all over and hurriedly replied: "This is a dragon sprite egg, but I don't know which kind of dragon it will hatch into."

Dou Zhangde looked up at the sky, speechless; he had not expected Ruixifeierzi to be such a coward.

Li Zhangsheng nodded and said nothing more.

"Since you have already made your choice, there is no need to continue lingering in the Dragon Lair."

Dou Zhangde could not help but offer a reminder; since Li Zhangsheng dared to extort the Demon King-rank white dragon, who knew if he would take other actions, such as going to extort other dragons.

That was indeed a possibility!

It could be said that in Dou Zhangde's heart, Li Zhangsheng had left him with the impression of someone who would dig three feet deep and pluck a feather from every passing goose.

Yet in truth, it would be a lie to say Dou Zhangde was not envious; he even had thoughts of copying him.

"Ruixifeierzi, see you next year!"

Li Zhangsheng withdrew his other Demon Pets, and before leaving, he took a deep look at the Demon King-rank white dragon before riding Aixi toward the exit of the Core Royal Garden.

"Never see you again!"

Thinking of the three treasures he had lost, the Demon King-rank white dragon felt such pain in its heart that it naturally did not want to see Li Zhangsheng again.

For a dragon that valued wealth above its own life, how could it be in a good mood after watching its treasures being snatched away while being unable to do anything about it?

"Ruixifeierzi, if nothing unexpected happens, you will see him again at this time in the next two years -_-||"

Dou Zhangde's lighthearted remark dealt a critical blow to the Demon King-rank white dragon.

Even if Li Zhangsheng's strength stagnated, Yuanling Academy would still retain its seat as the number one Academy for the next two years, and he would undoubtedly be the Best Student Award winner.

As long as the Demon King-rank white dragon was still here, they would certainly meet again.

Upon hearing Dou Zhangde's explanation, the Demon King-rank white dragon's body trembled, and sorrow welled up from its heart.

"I don't want to stay here anymore, I want to change jobs!"

"Ruixifeierzi, I cannot make that decision; only His Majesty can decide whether you stay or go!"

Dou Zhangde felt a massive headache; although the Imperial Family raised a population of dragons, there were only two or three Demon King-rank dragons, and each had their own duties, so they could not be easily replaced.

"Then go tell him quickly; in any case, I will not continue to stay in this godforsaken place no matter what."

Dou Zhangde: "..."

At the entrance of the Core Royal Garden, after completing the registration, Li Zhangsheng took the Top-Grade Quasi-God Sprite Egg and headed to the Yuyan Pavilion, which was also where the Imperial Family stored their Demon Taming Arts.

Unlike the five-story Secret Technique Pavilion, the Yuyan Pavilion had four floors, with each floor corresponding to a rank of Demon Taming Art. Judging by the floors, the Yuyan Pavilion certainly contained Top-tier Demon Taming Arts; as for how many, that was not something Li Zhangsheng could know.

The Advanced Demon Taming Art certificate naturally corresponded to the Yuyan Pavilion Third Floor, which was also the standard reward for first place in the Exchange Tournament.

Like the Core Royal Garden, the highest administrator of the Yuyan Pavilion was also a Pseudo-King of the Imperial Family, though he did not show himself.

Under the reception of a Steward, Li Zhangsheng arrived at the Yuyan Pavilion Third Floor, which was also the place where Advanced Demon Taming Arts were stored.

At the entrance to the third floor, there was a layer of energy Restriction with a seven-colored luster; this was a multi-layered Composite Restriction, composed of defensive, offensive, warning, and flashing restrictions.

At this moment, the Steward placed a token against the seven-colored Restriction.

Hum~

Accompanied by a humming sound, the seven-colored Restriction fluctuated violently, then revealed a portal for people to enter and exit.

"My lord, you may enter!"

Li Zhangsheng nodded and slowly walked into the portal.

The Yuyan Pavilion Third Floor was quite spacious, and inside were dozens of lifelike Divine Beast statues, such as the Ying Dragon, Qilin, Phoenix, Bai Ze, Nine Phoenixes, and so on.

These Divine Beast statues each held an Inheritance Jade Slip in their mouths, and lines of text were carved on their backs.

Li Zhangsheng walked closer to take a look; these texts were all introductions to Demon Taming Arts.

Like the Core Royal Garden, there was a time limit for choosing an Advanced Demon Taming Art, but the time was shorter, only a brief incense stick's time.

Li Zhangsheng stood in front of the Xuan Bird statue; this was a four-winged avian Divine Beast with pale yellow feathers, a cockscomb, crane-like feet, and a peacock tail, its image somewhat similar to an enlarged swallow.

Li Zhangsheng looked at the text introduction on the back of the Xuan Bird statue and finished reading it all in a few moments.

Profound Water Demon Taming Art: Advanced Demon Taming Art, seven levels in total; the Profound Water condensed can be used to fend off enemies.

Profound Water is a special liquid whose weight is second only to Heavy Water, yet it is extremely viscous; if one could condense a river made entirely of Profound Water, it would naturally possess excellent offensive and defensive capabilities, though the difficulty is very high.

According to the introduction of the Profound Water Demon Taming Art, even if one practiced this art to the seventh level of perfection, one could at most condense a sea bowl's worth of Profound Water in a day; wanting to condense the amount of a river would take at least ten years.

In addition, practicing the Profound Water Demon Taming Art to perfection only grants two beneficial effects, and for this reason, it can only be considered a relatively ordinary Advanced Demon Taming Art.

Li Zhangsheng did not linger, arriving before the next Divine Beast statue to continue examining other Advanced Demon Taming Arts.

After spending half a stick of incense worth of time, Li Zhangsheng finished reading the introductions for all the Advanced Demon Taming Arts.

Among these dozens of Advanced Demon Taming Arts, only eight were considered top-tier, including the Four Symbols Star Monster Taming Art that Li Zhangsheng practiced.

Since the Yuanling Academy was founded by the Imperial Family, it was only natural that it possessed the Four Symbols Star Monster Taming Art.

Beyond that, he did not find the Big Dipper Monster Taming Art here; it was likely that even the Imperial Family had not managed to collect this particular Advanced Demon Taming Art.

However, Li Zhangsheng did find a Seven Luminaries Star Monster Taming Art here, which was also an Advanced Demon Taming Art related to the stars, and crucially, it was related to the Zhou Tian Star Fighting Monster Taming Art.

The Seven Luminaries Star Monster Taming Art naturally cultivated the seven luminaries—gold, wood, water, fire, earth, sun, and moon—and its cultivation difficulty was comparable to the Big Dipper Monster Taming Art.

After exchanging for the Seven Luminaries Star Monster Taming Art, Li Zhangsheng returned to his temporary residence holding the Top-Grade Quasi-God Sprite Egg.

However, at the entrance of the courtyard where he was temporarily staying at the Yuanling Academy, Li Zhangsheng saw Tian Jingling.

Upon seeing Tian Jingling, Li Zhangsheng guessed her intentions.

Tian Jingling was Dou Yuanhua's fiancée; she had surely come to complete the transaction with him on Dou Yuanhua's behalf.

The fact that Dou Yuanhua did not come meant that Li Zhangsheng had 'hurt' him too deeply this time, yet he still could not stop thinking about that piece of Thunder Attribute element slightly smaller than a soccer ball, which was why he had sent his fiancée over.

"Miss Tian, what wind has blown you here?"

"Yuanhua is feeling unwell, so he asked me to come and complete the transaction with you!"

It was no surprise to Li Zhangsheng that Tian Jingling had indeed come representing Dou Yuanhua.

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng took out the Thunder Attribute Elemental Crystal.

This was the first time Tian Jingling had seen such a large piece of Thunder Attribute Elemental Crystal, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't surprised; it was no wonder that even after losing so much face, Dou Yuanhua still had to send her to trade with Li Zhangsheng.

"This is what he gave me; check if anything is missing!"

Tian Jingling took out a box containing three treasures: the Cangxuan Wind-Fixing Pearl, the Void Crystal, and the Wood Element Crystal.

Among them, the Wood Element Crystal was the size of an adult's fist.

After completing the transaction, Li Zhangsheng now had four Wood Element Crystals—one large and three small; unfortunately, even combined, these four were only half the size of the Thunder Attribute Elemental Crystal and could not satisfy Kailan's evolution requirements.

"I brought the fourth batch of goods by the way."

Tian Jingling did not leave immediately, handing a Space Ring to Li Zhangsheng.

The goods she spoke of naturally referred to the corpses of Moon Sprites.

Li Zhangsheng checked them and revealed a satisfied smile; with this batch of Moon Sprite corpses, he could further increase the concentration of Kailan's Sprite King Bloodline.

"Also, although I am Yuanhua's fiancée, I have not yet married into his family, so even if you have a conflict with him, it will not affect the transactions between us!"

Before leaving, Tian Jingling said this.

It was clear that Tian Jingling had tasted the benefits of trading with Li Zhangsheng; the reason she was able to break through to the Fifth Rank in such a short time was that Li Zhangsheng occasionally used treasures that assisted in breaking through bottlenecks as bargaining chips in their trades.

Furthermore, after 'accidentally' learning that Li Zhangsheng also had Bloodline Potions that assisted in breaking through to the Lord level, Tian Jingling no longer worried about the conflict between Li Zhangsheng and her fiancé, which led her to make this decision.

Tian Jingling was a rather strong-willed person; since she had the opportunity to become powerful quickly, she naturally did not want to miss it, nor did she want to become a mere appendage to Dou Yuanhua.
