Chapter 224: Surprises
Chapter 224: Surprises
Li Qian left, only realizing at the last moment that he had forgotten to ask for directions. He believed he had maintained a calm and collected demeanor throughout.
However, all of this was just an act, and as soon as he left the Zhonghai City Teleportation Center, he immediately took out his phone to start searching.
His heart was already stirred with emotions, and it took a while for him to calm down. This evolution, which he thought would be a smooth and uneventful process, had brought him too many surprises.
It took him some time to process and absorb these surprises. As he searched on his phone, he quickly found some traces and clues.
There was hardly any information about the big shot, Li Suokuan, on the internet, and even the little that was available seemed vague and unreliable.
However, he did find some information about his companion beast, but only in fragments and pieces. The reason it was so scarce was that there wasn't much information about that butterfly on the internet either.
With these fragments of information, Li Qian finally gained some understanding of it.
Phantom Void Butterfly!
A dual-attribute companion beast of the Spirit and Spatial attributes!
A Holy Spirit Rank potential companion beast!
Furthermore, according to the descriptions online, it wasn't just an ordinary Holy Spirit Rank potential companion beast; it was one of the top ones even among its kind.
Its true racial potential might not be inferior to the Blaze Sky Seat, which Li Qian had used to bluff.
After having some contact with Li Suokuan's Phantom Void Butterfly, Li Qian guessed that it was most likely a Holy Spirit Rank companion beast that had already realized its potential. In other words, Li Suokuan was a Holy Spirit Rank Beastmaster.
This level of power was terrifying, but it was within Li Qian's expectations. After all, Li Suokuan was the person in charge of the Zhonghai City Teleportation Center.
Although he didn't reveal his specific position at the Teleportation Center, Li Qian could deduce that he was either the top or second-in-command there, given that he detected the evolution of Xiao Hui through spatial fluctuations and readily offered a collaboration.
This unexpected journey of evolution brought Li Qian more surprises than just the realization of the Phantom Void Butterfly's power and Li Suokuan's background. It also sparked thoughts about the concept of higher-dimensional space.
First was the new understanding of higher-dimensional space. This new knowledge led Li Qian to a new hypothesis about the evolution of the Fiery Skygliding Eagle.
The evolution of the Fiery Storm Falcon into the Fiery Skygliding Eagle required the activation of the energy within the Voidstone through a Teleportation Array, but what was truly needed was not the array itself but some mysterious energy from the higher-dimensional space.
If his hypothesis was correct, it implied that even without a Teleportation Array, entering a higher-dimensional space through the use of a spatial teleportation skill should also trigger the evolution.
This was Li Qian's theory, and he believed it to be quite plausible. However, this improved evolution method couldn't be tested because the Divine Art skill 'Spatial Teleportation' was not something his companion beast could master at its current stage.
As for asking Li Suokuan for help, Li Qian didn't want to owe him a favor, and more importantly, it was unlikely that Li Suokuan would have the time to accommodate him whenever needed.
Additionally, Li Qian recalled the Phantom Void Butterfly's actions before returning to the present world. He noticed that when Li Suokuan detected the two Void Blood Bats hiding in the void, his expression turned grim.
Li Qian also searched for information about the Void Blood Bats online, but surprisingly, there was absolutely no related information to be found, even less than what was available about Li Suokuan.
Yes, not a single piece of information was found! It was as if this thing didn't exist at all. At that moment, Master Li had instructed the Phantom Void Butterfly to take action, and the movement was so swift that Li Qian couldn't make out the appearance of those two Void Blood Bats. However, he was a hundred percent certain that in such a situation, Elder Li would never deceive him.
Not finding any information online was something Li Qian could understand after some thought. Perhaps it was purely because it was too rare.
Of course, it was also possible that the Federation government had specifically blocked information related to it. What Li Qian was truly pondering now was whether the appearance of the Void Blood Bat in a higher-dimensional space was a normal phenomenon or a special case.
After some contemplation, Li Qian felt that the answer should lean towards the latter; otherwise, Elder Li wouldn't have reminded him of that before leaving.
Back at the Sky Realm Breeding Base, Li Qian was still pondering this question. To be precise, throughout the night, he tossed and turned, and hardly had any desire to sleep.
As a result, when he woke up the next morning, his face bore two dark circles under his eyes.
Seeing Li Qian's weary state, Shi Guifang asked, "Master Li, what's going on? Why are you sporting such big dark circles?"
Li Qian sighed at her words, "Sigh, I couldn't help it. Last night, pleased with your interest in the research, and before I knew it, it was very late, and I didn't get much sleep."
Then, he suddenly remembered the newly established Task One and the matter of cooperating with the Zhonghai City Teleportation Center, and immediately got to the point, "By the way, Little Boss, I have something I need your help with."
"What is it?" Little Boss Shi Guifang asked. At this moment, her only concern was that Li Qian wouldn't make a request. As long as Li Qian dared to ask, there was hope for the Sky Realm to keep her.
Not to mention, in the future, spending a portion of every winter and summer vacation here would also be a good choice.
So, no matter what request Li Qian made at this moment, she would do her best to fulfill it.
Li Qian didn't beat around the bush and directly stated what he needed, "By chance, I've reached a cooperation agreement with the Zhonghai City Teleportation Center. I need a batch of Gray Bean Pigeons with good aptitude and a batch of Gale Bamboo."
"How many do you need?" Shi Guifang asked without hesitation.
"Ten Gray Bean Pigeons and ten Gale Bamboo," Li Qian replied. Then, he added, "After this matter is settled, I'll give you a surprise."
As for the surprise, Li Qian had already decided on it: an Apex Skygliding Eagle!
Since Li Qian didn't specify the surprise, Shi Guifang instinctively overlooked its significance. So, she directly refused, "No, no, we don't need it. We can't push our luck regarding the evolutionary method of the Fiery Skygliding Eagle."
Hearing this, Li Qian chuckled, "Whether you want it or not, let's talk about it after you see the surprise."
Li Qian believed that once she saw the surprise, she might not be able to say those words.
Even the offspring of a great family, an Imperial Rank Companion Beast wouldn't be so easy to obtain, especially since the Fiery Skygliding Eagle also possessed the Spatial Attribute.
"Hearing you say that, I'm really looking forward to the surprise!" Shi Guifang's face showed a clear expression of interest after listening to Li Qian's words.
