Has the potential for cultivating Lion-faced Vajra finally been exhausted?
No matter how high the potential and quality of the alchemical materials themselves are, they are ultimately just first-level alchemical organisms.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Silver Level 1 is likely the pinnacle of the Lion-Faced Vajra.
But Wu You always felt that it shouldn't be like this.
Even based on years of gaming experience, there's at least a Gold tier above Silver, but whether there are any ridiculous Diamond or Master tiers is anyone's guess.
It must be said that he didn't want Garuru to stop there.
As his earliest alchemical creation, it not only solved his earliest and most pressing crisis, but also marked the beginning of his self-confidence.
Perhaps the system will have new permissions at later levels.
But the completion of this task also reminded Wu You of the relationship between the so-called aberrant being and himself.
This can be seen from the name of the mission.
So, if they are natural enemies, are they only natural enemies of themselves, the "creator," or are they natural enemies of all alchemical creatures as well?
Although judging from the initial performance of the Blood Serpent, it seemed to be the former.
However, when the six bronze-level enemies appeared together, Blood Dragon's performance was significantly different from when it faced White Eagle in its unobservation mode.
It wasn't the fear of being ganged up on and on the verge of death that followed, but rather a strange feeling, like a sense of relief. Although he wasn't using Qiongqi's privileges, he could still sense some emotions.
As for further confirmation? Forget about it for now. Not only has that blood dragon been beaten to death, but its corpse has also been reduced to ashes by the aftershocks of lightning.
Wu You can only determine the final outcome later.
That said, since Garurumon can't stay in this world after advancing to Silver rank, and cheating won't work.
Will I need to burn alchemical energy again for the next upgrade of summoning authority in this world?
According to system practice, that's 10 times, 1000 points? You idiot!
But think about it, if we had directly upgraded to Silver level back then, what if we had to deduct alchemy energy because we didn't have enough to deduct?
They'll probably be relegated back to Bronze level.
Alchemical energy, oh alchemical energy, this problem is becoming more and more urgent.
Wu You recalled that after the ruby from their first transaction was absorbed, some powder remained, which he excitedly took to be tested.
The test report concluded that those were just ordinary rubies ground into powder.
The ingredients are exactly the same, not a single one is missing, it's just that they are ground very finely.
Undeterred, Wu You absorbed another ruby, weighing it before absorption and then weighing it as powder afterward.
The weight didn't change; at least the reading on the scale was the same.
There's no way to take shortcuts.
The system message interrupted Wu You's reflections.
System notification: Mission complete, Nemesis (Part 1)
Receive mission rewards
Alchemy creature storage slots increased by 2, current total is 9
The task was rated as good, but no extra reward was given.
Wu You couldn't help but mutter, "So stingy."
However, another message appeared.
System notification: The extraction of the shattered bronze advanced monstrous evil soul has been completed, and 30 points of alchemical energy have been obtained.
"Um!?"
Wu You exclaimed in surprise.
I originally thought it would be enough to just use it as a material for transcending the mortal realm, but I never expected it could be used to refine alchemical energy.
This is truly a pleasant surprise. Although 30 points may not seem like much, it's only high-level bronze. Taking down that silver-level one would require at least 100 points.
It also comes with a broken prefix.
...
Half a day later, in the inner chambers of Liu's direct lineage.
Liu Xianyuan listened as Liu Niansheng recounted the events firsthand.
Although Wu Ding had already told me about it once before, the treatment was not as clear as Liu Niansheng's.
Several important figures from the tribe were also present.
People frequently interrupted Liu Niansheng's presentation with questions, making some key points clearer.
After Liu Niansheng finished recounting the whole story, from the blood dragon chasing the strange bird to the sudden appearance of numerous demons in the sky, and finally the blood dragon's tragic death and their being driven away.
A brief silence fell over the room.
Liu Xianyuan kept his eyes closed the whole time, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
After a long while, he finally opened his eyes.
"Sigh..." He sighed. "These are turbulent times!"
"Send a message to all the major families and sects, telling them the whole story without missing a single detail."
After hesitating for a moment, Liu Xianyuan ultimately decided not to add anything about Xie Daozi.
In less than half an hour, several fast horses carrying their riders set off from Liu's stables, heading off to various parts of the world.
...
The first to receive the news were the Qin Dynasty's Ying clan.
Two days had passed, and Wu You had long since returned to Earth.
The current emperor, Ying Huan, sat in his study listening to reports from officials of the Censorate.
"So the threat of the Blood Dragon has been resolved?"
Ying Huan asked slowly.
"Your Majesty, according to reports from spies in the Jiangzhou Surveillance Bureau, the Blood Dragon in Jiangzhou is still alive."
Ying Huan frowned, but did not appear surprised.
He was not only the Emperor of Qin and the ruler of the world, but also a top expert who had entered the Innate Realm for more than ten years.
In this world, those in power are not physically strong and are easily assassinated.
However, no matter how calm he appeared on the outside, his heart was still in turmoil.
Whether in historical records or folk tales, there is only one Blood Dragon.
But now the facts are clear: not only is there more than one Blood Dragon, but there are other monsters in the world.
Although there have been speculations that the Blood Dragon left after it appeared, there have been no discoveries in more than 200 years.
Does this sudden appearance mean that something big is about to happen?
The Liu family wouldn't lie about something like this.
"Continue the investigation, go down."
"promise."
...
Not only the Ying clan, but people all over the world received the news in the past few days.
Although the various forces were located at different distances, they each had their own secret communication methods. Liu Shi only sent the messages to the official envoys of the major forces, and the others would report back on their own.
Some sects are located far away in the Great Snow Mountain, yet they receive the news only a little bit later, which shows that they each have their own unique methods.
Upon learning the news, some members of these factions paled while others remained calm, but all of them dispatched scouts to Bingzhou and Jiangzhou.
...
After Wu You returned, he took things out of his backpack one by one on the table.
There are some beautiful headdresses and jewelry, pretty jade pendants, and even exquisite paintings, as well as some trinkets, which are meant to be given as gifts.
Then came a series of martial arts manuals, but they weren't high-end; they were all third-rate, with the best being close to second-rate at best.
However, only one book, "Iron Fist," has been translated into modern Earth language.
The entire text consists mostly of illustrations, with only a few thousand words of annotations.
Even so, it took Wang Fugui and Wu You a lot of effort in the process.
After all, similar characters are not the same, and there were still many obscure characters that required a lot of effort to find in the dictionary.
Finally, Wang Fugui, who is currently learning modern simplified Chinese characters on his own, is also preparing to compile a dictionary that translates between the two languages, but of course, this is not something that can be done in a short time.
After sorting out these "local specialties", Wu You took out a high-definition portable video camera.
It records a lot about the local customs and traditions of Leping City, the daily life of the people, and the process of the "monster battle".
