Chapter 723: Kailan's Metamorphosis Again (First Update, seeking all)

Li Zhangsheng set the Nine-Story Stone Pagoda aside and began by identifying those dozen or so items.

Although these items were the cream of the crop, the vast majority were mediocre, because those common treasures, unless they were too difficult to exchange for, would basically be redeemed by the upper-middle echelons of the Langya Liu Clan to enhance their strength.

Furthermore, among these dozen or so treasures, quite a few were duplicates.

Among them, there were three Xuanhuang Roots, two Bloodline Fusion Crystals, and two portions of Bloodline Essence; these three types alone accounted for seven slots.

Among these three types of treasures, the Xuanhuang Root had the highest value, but a single Xuanhuang Root was of no use; only when paired with a Lanxin Fruit could it possibly allow a Demon Pet to enter a state of Bloodline Metamorphosis.

These three Xuanhuang Roots were highly likely to have been planted in the Medicine Garden within the Secret Realm, as there were nearly ten more immature Xuanhuang Roots in the Medicine Garden.

Unfortunately, these all benefited Li Zhangsheng.

There is no need to mention the efficacy of the Bloodline Fusion Crystal; it has a certain probability of fusing a Spirit Beast's multiple bloodlines into a brand-new bloodline, with the probability being related to the Demon Pet's own quality—the higher the quality, the greater the probability.

This item could actually be given to Aixi or the Crowned Blazing Bird, but even if the fusion were successful, the boost to their combat power would not be significant, as the bloodlines they fused were similar, unlike Datou's, which were vastly different.

As for the Bloodline Essence, it is used for Fairy Eggs and can activate another latent bloodline within the Fairy Egg.

For Li Zhangsheng, the Bloodline Essence was of little use, as the activated bloodline is random and might not be a good match. It would be better to use Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure to integrate a second bloodline himself.

After putting away these seven duplicate treasures, Li Zhangsheng began to shift his focus and examine the remaining six treasures one by one.

The first item was a water-blue, water-drop-shaped crystal, about the size of an infant's fist.

Water Essence: Heaven and Earth Essence, which can significantly increase the probability of a Water Attribute Demon Pet breaking through the Lord-tier bottleneck. Note: Do not use if not a Water Attribute Demon Pet.

The first item was a treasure to assist in breaking through to the Lord-tier; although it had attribute restrictions, it was also a common type of treasure, widely welcomed by Monster Tamers.

The second item was a fire-red Scepter about a foot long, translucent in appearance, with a Demon King-tier Fire-type Demon Core at the top, looking quite magnificent.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng completed the identification.

Fire Radiance Crystal Scepter: Top-Grade Treasure of the Fire Element, crafted through rigorous processes using Fire Radiance Crystal and a Demon King-tier Fire-type Demon Core as the main components, supplemented by dozens of Fire Element materials. It can increase the power of Fire Element skills by 60% and comes with Burst and Burning effects.

Without a doubt, the Fire Radiance Crystal Scepter belonged to the elite among Top-Grade Treasures; its value was not much inferior to the Crown of Thorns, as it possessed two rare additional effects, falling just short of the Semi-Artifact level.

Top-Grade Treasures with two additional effects are few and far between; the Yuanling Academy's First Authority exchange manual contained a Top-Grade Treasure called the Sharp Metal Azure, which also possessed two special effects, though one of them was a rare and uncommon aura-type effect.

In terms of value, the Fire Radiance Crystal Scepter was naturally inferior to the Sharp Metal Azure, but it was not much different from the Crown of Thorns.

Li Zhangsheng took out the Red Dragon's Fury carried by the Crowned Blazing Bird and had it carry the Fire Radiance Crystal Scepter instead, which boosted its combat power to a certain extent.

The third item was a piece of unknown Spirit Beast hide, covered in the continent's common script and formulas, looking quite complex; an ordinary person might feel dizzy just by taking a glance.

"Strength Top-Tier Food Recipe!"

After reading the content above, Li Zhangsheng revealed a smile.

In terms of efficacy, a Top-Tier Food Recipe is naturally far superior to a High-Grade Food Recipe and can continue to improve a Demon Pet's attributes in certain aspects; as for how much it can improve, it mainly depends on the quality of the Demon Pet.

The benefits of high strength are obvious: it can cause greater melee damage to the opponent, better entangle the opponent, break free from restraints, and add an extra layer of power.

In terms of value, this Strength Top-Tier Food Recipe was more precious than the previous few treasures.

Besides this, it was also a source of wealth, as one could produce top-tier food for trade, which had a not-insignificant value.

Of course, the prerequisite for everything was to collect all the materials.

Li Zhangsheng finished reading the recipe quickly; the auxiliary materials were easy to handle, as he basically had them all on hand, and the few he lacked could be bought on the market.

The most difficult were the two main materials; one of them was the Fire Essence Jujube. Li Zhangsheng owned a Fire Essence Jujube tree and could produce Fire Essence Jujubes in a steady stream.

The other main material was the Ice Crystal Fruit, which was an Ice-type spiritual plant. Its rank was the same as the Fire Essence Jujube, both being only at the Heaven and Earth Wonder level, but the Langya Kingdom was located in the south, which was not suitable for the survival of the Ice Crystal Fruit.

It would be quite difficult to buy Ice Crystal Fruit in the Langya Kingdom, and the key was that Li Zhangsheng needed a large quantity.

Giving a man a fish is not as good as teaching him how to fish; what Li Zhangsheng wanted was an Ice Crystal Fruit Tree, so that he could continuously produce top-tier food.

After putting away the Strength Top-Tier Food Recipe, Li Zhangsheng picked up the fourth treasure.

This was a bead the size of an adult's fist, containing purple thunder light; Li Zhangsheng could feel a violent, destructive energy from within it.

Purple Heaven Divine Thunder!

Because of the Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast, Li Zhangsheng immediately recognized that the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder was sealed within the bead.

The power of the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder goes without saying; its destructive power is second only to the legendary Du Tian Divine Thunder.

Li Zhangsheng could confirm that this was a Thunder Bead. When he killed Xiao Mu in the past, Xiao Mu had used a One-time Thunder Bead, which had power equivalent to a full-force strike from a Thunder Attribute Lord-tier Demon Pet.

This one was also a One-time Thunder Bead, but because it stored the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, its power was naturally far superior to Xiao Mu's One-time Thunder Bead; Li Zhangsheng estimated that its power likely reached the Demon King-tier.

To activate this Thunder Bead, a massive amount of Mental Power was required, likely needing one to reach the Sixth-tier Beastmaster level; Li Zhangsheng did meet the standard.

Although it was a one-time use, if used well, it might produce miraculous effects.

The fifth item was another Elemental Crystal, but this time it was the Wood Element Crystal that Li Zhangsheng needed, slightly larger than an adult's fist.

If the six Wood Element Crystals accumulated previously were counted, it would be enough for Kailan's Elemental Power to rise to the Vigorous Grade.

Li Zhangsheng did not look at the sixth treasure and directly called Kailan over, placing the seven Wood Element Crystals—two large and five small—in front of her.

"Changsheng, thank you for your hard work!"

Looking at these seven Wood Element Crystals, Kailan knew very well how much effort Li Zhangsheng had spent.

"Hurry up and absorb them."

After Li Zhangsheng signaled, Kailan flew under the shade of the Tree of Life with the seven Wood Element Crystals and began to absorb the Elemental Power contained within them.

During the absorption process, Kailan smoothed her brows, and her whole body began to be surrounded by green elemental aura; the green light quickly spread over her entire body, finally turning into a green ball of light.

Kailan's absorption speed was very fast; in just a few breaths, she had completely absorbed one Wood Element Crystal.

A large amount of Elemental Power surged into Kailan's body, causing her bones to emit crackling sounds, gradually improving Kailan's physique and giving her a feeling of being reborn.

Soon, all seven Wood Element Crystals were absorbed by Kailan, and her brows furrowed tightly, which was rare, as she seemed to be in some discomfort.

Due to possessing the Vigorous Grade Sprite King Bloodline, Kailan's adaptability in this regard had clearly been greatly improved, and she was finally able to bear it easily.

Under Li Zhangsheng's expectant gaze, the Jianhua Bai Guang completely enveloped Kailan; her aura surged rapidly, and another pair of wings rushed out from her back.

However, her body size did not change; it was clear that she was forcibly controlling it, still maintaining a height of 1.5 meters.

Soon, Kailan completed her evolution!

Compared to before the metamorphosis, Kailan's appearance had become even more perfect, like the most outstanding work of nature, not even inferior to the Sprite King.

At the same time, the Tree of Life mark engraved on Kailan's forehead also underwent a change, transforming into the appearance of the Tree of Life in its Growth Stage.

The biggest change was in her wings; they changed from the original three pairs to four pairs, which allowed her speed to be enhanced once again.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Primordial Elf (Growth Stage, Innate One Qi Profound Brake Mysterious Truth Green Lotus: Can automatically absorb surrounding Wood Energy, rapidly restore the lotus platform's defense, and can amplify Kailan's Wood Element skills by thirty percent in power; can negate one or multiple instances of damage of the same rank, depending on the attack intensity. Comprehends Mystery, greatly enhancing skill power; Mystery Guard: Exempts a portion of damage, mainly depending on the opponent's realm.)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Demon King Rank 5

【Spirit Beast Race】: Perfect Sovereign

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Epic (Guaranteed to be able to break through to the Demon King level, slightly increases the probability of breaking through to the Demon Saint level)

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Elemental Power (Vigorous), Elf King (Vigorous)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Wood Element

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: Metal

Compared to before the evolution, Kailan's Elemental Power rose from Rich to Vigorous, which also caused her race to rise to Perfect Sovereign, and her strength has further improved.

Besides this, the characteristic of Kailan's Grassland Domain changed to the Natural Domain characteristic.

Compared to the Grassland Domain, the range of the Natural Domain is wider; whether it is grassland, forest, or mountain woodland, wherever there is a large area of plants, the Natural Domain characteristic will be activated, which can greatly strengthen Kailan's all-around abilities.

According to Li Changsheng's evaluation, the cost-performance ratio of the Natural Domain characteristic is very high, having already reached the category of top-tier characteristics, but due to terrain limitations, its cost-performance ratio is not as good as the Wood Realm Descent characteristic.

"I've evolved again!"

Kailan flapped her four wings, which were as thin as cicada wings, flew around Li Changsheng a few times, and her body size suddenly shrank, turning into a miniature person, and she landed on Li Changsheng's shoulder.

This evolution also allowed Kailan to acquire the Law of Heaven and Earth skill, allowing her to change size freely.

Of course, changing size has certain limitations.

At this time, Li Changsheng took out the sixth treasure, which was also the last Heavenly Essence Grade treasure.

Eating after a dental filling is really painful; I advise everyone to protect their teeth well. I am the result of eating too many sweets.

I have to lament that private clinic dentists really make money; in half an hour, they charged me five hundred yuan, and I quite had the feeling of being ripped off.

Today's goal: Three, pigs, certificate!
