Chapter 308: Bai Jiao Essence Blood

"Only first-rank, and you already want to eat second-rank monster beast meat. After reaching the second rank, won't you want to eat third-rank ones? Where will I get them then? I fear even if I have spirit stones, I won't be able to buy them. Fortunately, you don't have to eat it every day, otherwise, being eaten into bankruptcy by you is only a matter of time." Wang Yu muttered, throwing the last meat ball into Little White's mouth.

After Little White swallowed it, a look of satisfaction appeared in its eyes, which were as human-like as a person's. After rubbing its head against Wang Yu's lower leg, it turned around and crawled back onto the stone platform.

A moment later, Little White closed its eyes. As humming sounds came from its mouth, a wisp of blue mist sprayed out from its nostrils, wrapping its body tightly, and it began to form layers of pale blue ice.

In the blink of an eye, a giant ice ball identical to the original one condensed on the stone platform again.

Wang Yu looked at Little White in the ice ball, but a look of worry appeared on his face.

The reason Little White became like this was naturally because it had consumed the wisp of Flood Dragon essence blood in the short horn.

At first, he was a bit hesitant about whether to do this, but after a conversation with Uncle-Master Li, he dispelled this concern.

According to Uncle-Master Li's statement, there is also luck on spirit beasts.

Little White had accidentally passed two mutations, so consuming the Flood Dragon essence blood might truly stimulate bloodline changes. Moreover, this wisp of Flood Dragon essence blood only came from a monster python at the Qi Refinement stage, so it was impossible for it to backlash against Little White itself.

Wang Yu originally had the intention of refining this wisp of Flood Dragon essence blood into a bloodline pill. But after asking Fan Tian, this second-rank alchemy master, he learned that the auxiliary materials needed were too many and the refining was too difficult, even this second-rank alchemy master could not refine it. So he did not hesitate to let Little White consume the essence blood.

As a result, the first two years after Little White consumed it were still normal, but in the third year, abnormal signs began to appear. Not only did its body become whiter, but a certain pond it often played in was suddenly frozen solid one day.

Only then did Wang Yu realize that the water-control ability Little White awakened had actually turned into controlling cold air. At the same time, Little White also became extremely sleepy. It no longer liked to frolic with Big Green, but often found a corner alone and froze itself to sleep.

Wang Yu naturally found Uncle-Master Li to take a look at this mutation situation again.

As a result, Uncle-Master Li was overjoyed when he saw this, and stayed in Wang Yu's cave dwelling for over half a month, before leaving reluctantly with some of Little White's essence blood.

According to Uncle-Master Li's statement, this was not any mutation, but the bloodline being stimulated, and the Iron-Headed Crocodile bloodline was evolving and leaning toward the Flood Dragon direction. As for what degree it could eventually evolve into, it could only depend on Little White's own physique and the fit with this wisp of Flood Dragon essence blood.

However, Uncle-Master Li told Wang Yu not to have too high expectations.

After all, this wisp of Flood Dragon essence blood was too scarce, and it was impossible for Little White to truly evolve into a Flood Dragon. At most, it would show a small part of Flood Dragon characteristics.

And judging from Little White's physical appearance and the change in controlling cold air, the essence blood it consumed was likely fourth-rank Bai Jiao essence blood, not the third-rank Gray Flood Dragon he had guessed earlier.

This made Uncle-Master Li and Wang Yu actually feel great regret!

If the former had known it was fourth-rank Flood Dragon essence blood, he would definitely have spent sky-high spirit stones to buy it and study it carefully.

If Wang Yu had known it was Bai Jiao essence blood, he would also have treasured it carefully and tried every means to refine it into a bloodline pill.

Third-rank and fourth-rank Flood Dragons are worlds apart!

If one says Gray Flood Dragon essence blood occasionally appears in the Wu Nation's cultivation world, then fourth-rank Flood Dragon essence blood has long been something in legends.

At the very least, for hundreds of years, no one has heard of any marketplace selling fourth-rank Flood Dragon essence blood.

But what made Wang Yu even more concerned was that not long after Uncle-Master Li obtained the essence blood after Little White's bloodline changed, he suddenly resigned from his position at the Spirit Beast Pavilion, then announced he was going into seclusion, and never left his cave dwelling again.

Over the past ten years, Wang Yu sent him communication talismans several times, and they all returned on their own. Uncle-Master Li seemed to truly never see outsiders again.

If it weren't for the fact that he had Wan Shan investigate and found that Uncle-Master Li's soul tablet was always safe in the sect's Soul Hall, he would have suspected whether he had met with an accident and had already perished.

And Little White's changes had not stopped for the past ten years. Not only did first-rank monster beast meat begin to be unable to satisfy its needs, but its physical characteristics also began to differ from the Iron-Headed Crocodile.

First, the bulging flesh that was identical to the killed monster python grew on its head. Then, in just over a year, the flesh bulge split on its own, and a short white horn grew out. Its originally rough body also began to become slender bit by bit.

These were not the things that surprised Wang Yu the most!

What was even more astonishing was that ever since he found second-rank Taishui monster beast meat from the Thousand Bamboo Sect marketplace and fed it to it, the monster energy fluctuation on Little White's body became stronger year by year.

In just seven or eight years, the monster energy on this Iron-Headed Crocodile was no less than that of an ordinary Qi Refinement perfection cultivator, and it was not much worse than his own.

Such a huge change had already exceeded the imagination of bloodline Flood Dragon evolution. Wang Yu secretly asked other elders who were good at spirit beasts, and even checked many classics himself, but could not find the reason.

Fortunately, apart from this, everything else about this Iron-Headed Crocodile was as usual.

Wang Yu could only suppress the doubts in his heart, continue to feed it second-rank Taishui meat, and at the same time, the daily beast food was also changed to second-rank to satisfy Little White's obviously greatly increased appetite.

Big Green, who grew up with Little White, had a monster energy fluctuation of only about the fifth layer of Qi Refinement, which fully conformed to the strength that an Iron-Headed Crocodile of this age should have. But its head was clearly a circle larger than other ordinary Iron-Headed Crocodiles.

This should be related to the fact that when he deliberately chose the most vigorous egg when picking the beast egg.

Moreover, he had been feeding Big Green first-rank beast meat since it was small, and also regularly fed it spirit medicines that were of great benefit to monster beasts. Plus the pure spiritual energy nourishment of this true disciple cave dwelling now, it was normal for Big Green to become stronger than ordinary Iron-Headed Crocodiles.

According to the normal development of an Iron-Headed Crocodile, it would take at least another ten years for Big Green to enter the late stage of Qi Refinement, still much worse than Little White now.

No wonder Little White doesn't frolic with Big Green anymore now. Because its intelligence has become higher, sometimes when it looks at Big Green frolicking in the water alone from afar, its gaze even reveals a look like looking at a fool.

Wang Yu shook his head at this thought, put over a dozen Taishui meat chunks in a corner of the room, left the stone room, and closed the thick stone door again.

A cup of tea's time later, Wang Yu appeared in another secret chamber.

On the four walls of the secret chamber, dense pale silver spirit patterns were inscribed, and in the center was a three-legged bronze cauldron.

This cauldron was not too big, only as high as Wang Yu's waist, but its lines were rough, and there were several three-legged crow reliefs carved on the outer wall. On the ground below, a complete fire-red array pattern was also drawn.

On the surrounding racks, there were boxes of different sizes, and rows of neat porcelain bottles.

The entire stone room was filled with various medicinal herb scents, and some even more refreshing pill scents.

This was precisely Wang Yu's private alchemy room! ===== CHAPTER 309 =====
