Chapter 407: A Month Later
After pinning Zahar to the ground and playfully pummeling him, the three of them finally stopped their "fight" and calmly sat down for tea, hosted by Li Qian.
Of course, this calmness was only on the surface, as they couldn't help but feel a bit envious.
Lu Tianjiao spoke with a hint of jealousy, "Some people are still carefully studying in school, while others already have their own research bases. The gap between people is just..."
Hearing this, Li Qian's lips twitched slightly, "There's no other way. With such talent, it's like being pregnant; when the time comes, you can't hide it even if you want to."
Lu Tianjiao's expression became even more colorful upon hearing this.
Looking at Li Qian's self-satisfied appearance, she couldn't help but feel like punching him.
"Qian, now that you're a breeding teacher, hurry up and evolve my Three-Legged Golden Crow too!"
"Me too."
Seeing the two of them making a fuss, Li Qian couldn't help but sigh in exasperation.
"Do you think the Three-Legged Golden Crow is just some ordinary bird?"
He huffed, "Setting aside the complexity and difficulty of evolving a Three-Legged Golden Crow, even I don't have much confidence. Last time in Mo Yuan City, to be honest, luck played a major role."
Li Qian started to pour cold water on their enthusiasm, "Even if we can really evolve one, the moment it succeeds, it will be the time when it enters the Legendary Rank."
"Legendary Rank, can you two even contract it?"
After deflating their slightly inflated egos, Li Qian finally spoke up and offered a practical solution, "This is what I suggest: if you really want to contract a Three-Legged Golden Crow, you can start with the Sunbird."
"I can help you each evolve a Sunbird."
"Starting with the Sunbird, and slowly cultivating it, if you really reach that stage in the future, I'll think of a way to help you try. If it doesn't work, the Sunbird's potential is also not low, and it won't waste one of your contract slots."
Li Qian's words were sincere, and both An Fatso and Lu Tianjiao nodded in agreement after hearing them.
Without hesitation, they directly asked Li Qian to help breed two Sunbirds.
Li Qian, of course, would not refuse.
Just as he had said, the Sunbird's potential was not low, reaching the Imperial High Rank. Even if it couldn't evolve into a Three-Legged Golden Crow in the future, it would still be a decent battle companion.
The two of them were also clear about this, which was why they didn't hesitate to ask Li Qian for help.
After explaining the situation to them, Li Qian took them on a tour of the research base and the Number Three Mystic Realm.
This broadened their horizons.
That night, to make up for their mental trauma and to celebrate Li Qian's acquisition of his own research base, they went to the back door of "Sand City Home" for a feast.
At An Fatso's suggestion, they invited Tu Jiao Jiao and Li Lan Ying.
The two girls, after hearing An Fatso's introduction to Li Qian's situation, couldn't help but express their shock, admiration, and congratulations.
After dinner, they all went their separate ways, and Li Qian vaguely felt like there was some distance between Tu Jiao Jiao, Li Lan Ying, and himself.
Li Qian thought about it but didn't pay it much mind.
Perhaps this wasn't a bad thing; it might even be a good thing.
After the dinner, time flew by, and before they knew it, a month had passed.
During this month, Li Qian lived a very fulfilling life.
He was mostly immersed in the Emerald Research Base and the two-point-one-line study-work rhythm between the base and the dorm.
The school's gift of evolving the Four-Tailed Cat into a Five-Tailed Cat was something Li Qian had already mastered, and he had successfully evolved ten Five-Tailed Cats.
As for evolving the Five-Tailed Cat into a Six-Tailed Cat, Li Qian had already set up the project.
The current progress was at 98%, just 2% away from completion.
Li Qian, despite having a substantial amount of wealth and twenty-two achievement points, wasn't in a hurry and didn't plan to use achievement points to make up for the shortfall, as he had plenty of time.
The task progress had already reached 98%, and it was just a matter of two steps to complete the evolution, which would yield at least two achievement points.
With the additional two points from the task, it would amount to four achievement points in total.
Four achievement points were not a small number, which was the second reason Li Qian didn't plan to use achievement points to make up for the shortfall.
After task testing, Li Qian confirmed that the evolution method for evolving a five-tailed cat into a six-tailed cat was the first hypothesis.
This meant that the evolution would be achieved by increasing the proficiency of the "Leap Dance" skill and consuming the evolved Silver-Scaled Starfish.
Li Qian believed that once the main meridians were refined, the subsequent details would be a matter of time and effort.
He was confident that he would eventually figure out all the intricacies.
Regarding the second evolutionary hypothesis, Li Qian felt it was likely related to another evolutionary method for evolving a four-tailed cat into a five-tailed cat, as it could also trigger the light of evolution.
This topic piqued Li Qian's interest.
However, he didn't have the time to research it immediately, so he had to put it aside for the moment.
It wasn't completely shelved, though, as Li Qian would occasionally revisit the idea and ponder it.
Aside from the five-tailed cat, Li Qian had evolved quite a few other companion beasts during this month.
First, he helped his family's Jiaoyang Breeding Base evolve the Azure Scaled Dragon, Frostfire Salamander, and Extreme Gale Hawk.
Currently, the Jiaoyang Breeding Base in his hometown of Ling Shui City had the most evolved companion beasts of these three types, with a significant number of basic types, namely, koi and gray bean doves! In the future, the five-tailed cat, a rock giant, and other companion beasts will be made available to the Jiaoyang Breeding Base.
As for the Rock Giant and the five-tailed cat, Li Qian temporarily didn't plan to send them to the breeding base.
The Jiaoyang Breeding Base in his hometown was a small-scale breeding facility in a small city, and breeding high-level companion beasts wasn't necessarily a good thing.
Unless the breeding base had a powerful force like the Pillar of the Sea to ensure absolute safety, it could be problematic.
Since Li Qian couldn't move around freely at the moment, these companion beasts were brought to the base by his parents after meeting the requirements, and they would be sent back after evolution.
In addition to the companion beasts in his hometown's breeding base, Li Qian had also evolved numerous companion beasts at the Emerald Research Base.
He had evolved the Azure Scaled Dragon, Frostfire Salamander, Extreme Gale Hawk, Extreme Gale Falcon, Golden Bead Seedling, Tidal Sea Spirit, four-tailed cat, five-tailed cat, and more.
The waterfall in the third mystic realm was an ideal place for evolving the Azure Scaled Dragon.
Except for the Three-Legged Golden Crow, Li Qian had evolved almost all the companion beasts he currently possessed.
Among them, the Tidal Sea Spirit had the highest number, with five pairs, or ten, mainly because he wanted to quickly improve the quality of the research base's companion beasts, so he directly purchased five pairs of Golden Bead Seedlings with maximum racial potential.
Aside from these five pairs of Tidal Sea Spirits, the evolution of more Tidal Sea Spirits would be much slower.
Because the subsequent companion beasts would be evolved from these, climbing up step by step.
As for the Sunbird and Extreme Gale Falcon, only two of each had been evolved, and there was no way around it. These two types of companion beasts required more stringent prerequisites, making it impossible to mass-produce them in a short time.
In fact, evolving two of each type in just over a month was already a stroke of luck for Li Qian, as he had screened out high-potential Red Feather Chickens and gray bean doves.
