Chapter 179: Lava Worm
Chapter 179: Lava Worm
Li Qian's words caught Sun Hongyi off guard. He didn't expect this young man to be so bold as to openly negotiate terms with him.
But upon reflection, it was only natural, after all, he even dared to joke about his own appearance.
Sun Hongyi began to nitpick, "As far as I know, you've already exchanged the evolution method of the Green Scaled Serpent with Professor Yan from the Shazhou Beastmaster Academy."
"You can also exchange the evolution method of the Tide Sea Spirit again, or even exchange it multiple times, it doesn't matter," Li Qian waved his hand dismissively.
His manner suggested that no matter how many people were involved, it was impossible for anyone to research it earlier than him.
Looking at his confident face, a strange emotion flashed in Sun Hongyi's eyes.
After a moment, he responded, "Adding more stakes is not impossible, but I have two options here, and I'm not sure which one you'll choose."
"Which two?" Li Qian's interest was immediately piqued upon hearing this.
Li Qian didn't know what stakes Sun Hongyi would offer, but he was certain that they wouldn't be simple.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have spoken in such a tone.
As it turned out, his guess was correct.
Soon, Sun Hongyi revealed his stakes, "Two options. The first is the evolution method of a companion beast. It evolves from Leader Rank 1 to Tyrant Rank 3."
Upon hearing this, Li Qian nodded, not directly commenting but asking, "Is it a single evolution or a double evolution?"
Hearing Li Qian's question, Sun Hongyi couldn't help but smile bitterly.
This young man was indeed very alert.
He looked at Li Qian, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
However, in the end, he reluctantly provided the answer, "It's a double evolution."
As soon as Sun Hongyi finished speaking, Li Qian couldn't help but glance at him.
The 'Ball Uncle' before him was not being honest.
He was always ready to dig a hole for himself.
Even after a double evolution, the potential was only at Tyrant Rank 3, such a companion beast might be a good choice for ordinary people.
However, for Li Qian, its value was not that high, even in terms of breeding value.
After all, with each evolution, the extraordinary genes within the companion beast would be perfected once.
This was not a good thing for breeding.
The more perfect the extraordinary genes within the companion beast, the lower the chances of subsequent evolutions.
Seeing Li Qian's reaction, Sun Hongyi smiled awkwardly.
He cleared his throat lightly and then explained, "This companion beast is quite special, different from ordinary ones."
Seeing that Li Qian didn't speak, he continued, "Alright, I'll tell you directly."
"This companion beast is the Lava Worm. It evolves into a Gray Mist Moth in the first evolution and a Flame Firefly in the second!"
"From Lava Worm to Gray Mist Moth, it follows the metamorphosis route."
At this point, Sun Hongyi's voice suddenly rose, "But in the second evolution, it cocooned again."
"Admittedly, the evolution of companion beasts becomes more difficult as it progresses, but we suspect that the Flame Firefly has a regular multi-stage evolution pattern."
"If we can decipher this evolution pattern, it means that... it won't be long before we can evolve the Flame Firefly into a new form."
Sun Hongyi's words piqued Li Qian's interest.
A regular evolution pattern.
Indeed, this was a worthwhile research direction.
"Tell me about your second stake," Li Qian said calmly.
"The second stake, well, it's a bit strange, and you might even think it's not very reliable..."
After a long build-up, Sun Hongyi finally continued, "But I can assure you, this is absolutely true!"
"Once, by chance, I obtained a collection of relics."
The term "relics" typically refers to treasures unearthed from ancient ruins.
Anything could be found within.
"Among these relics, there were several books, and one of them mentioned the Green Scaled Serpent and... its subsequent evolutionary form."
"The subsequent evolutionary form of the Green Scaled Serpent?!" Sun Hongyi's words stirred up waves of emotion in Li Qian's heart.
Given the other's status as a professor at the Beast Taming University's Cultivation Academy, Li Qian believed that he was unlikely to deceive him.
This meant that he truly knew what the Green Scaled Serpent's subsequent evolutionary form was.
Such shocking news left Li Qian in awe.
After all, if he were to establish a companion beast research task and learn the subsequent evolutionary form of the Green Scaled Serpent, it would likely mean... at least a five-point increase in Inspiration Points.
This was the evolution task of a Holy Spirit Grade companion beast!
Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Li Qian quickly regained his composure.
After calming down and thinking carefully, he realized that even if this matter were true, it might not be entirely beneficial for him.
Seeing the astonishment on Li Qian's face, Sun Hongyi smiled, "Yes, it's the evolutionary form of the Green Scaled Serpent. In addition, I also obtained an evolutionary piece of information related to it."
After revealing both stakes, he looked at Li Qian with anticipation, "With these two stakes, do you think it's enough?"
Upon hearing this, Li Qian fell into deep thought. After a moment, he nodded, "We can exchange."
Sun Hongyi continued, "Then, which stake do you choose?"
Li Qian exhaled and stated his choice, "I choose Stake One, which is the evolution method of the Flame Firefly."
"Hmm..."
Sun Hongyi was slightly surprised by Li Qian's choice, "Why?"
Li Qian answered honestly, "I am indeed curious about the evolutionary form of the Green Scaled Serpent, but I'm also aware that at this stage, even if I knew, it wouldn't mean much. I simply can't complete this research."
"Very clever, and it's a bit beyond my expectations." Sun Hongyi said with a touch of emotion.
Li Qian added, "The most important thing is that I just need to know that you possess this information, and that's enough."
"In the future, when I feel that my strength has improved, I can still come to exchange."
"By then, I might have accumulated more stakes."
Sun Hongyi once again looked at Li Qian with an appreciative gaze.
"You're very confident, but I like your confidence. It's a good thing." He praised, while also secretly harboring some thoughts.
Compared to Li Qian, his own students were pure trash!!!
"I think so too." Li Qian smiled in agreement.
After reaching an agreement on the exchange, Sun Hongyi suddenly extended his hand, making an inviting gesture, "Since we've agreed on the exchange, why don't you stay tonight? This evening, I'll take you to see something different."
Li Qian's face lit up with interest, "In that case, I'll gladly accept your invitation."
