Chapter 542: Harsh Conditions
Chapter 542: Harsh Conditions
Li Qian found a seat in the office and sat down leisurely, "Didn't I just say that the evolution starting point of the Nine Dragon Fushang Tree is actually the tree species left behind by the Ancient Golden Banyan Tree?"
"What you're implying is that from the tree species, the Golden Silk Banyan, the Golden Banyan Tree, and the Ancient Golden Banyan Tree, the process has to be repeated." Dean Fei, also a cultivator, quickly understood the underlying meaning of Li Qian's words.
Li Qian nodded at Dean Fei, "Yes, Dean Fei, you're right. We have to go through the process again."
"These are the necessary conditions that the pet beast itself must meet during evolution. Next, we need external resources."
Li Qian spoke in a calm tone, "External resources are much simpler; there are only three types, starting with two fire-attributed evolutionary materials."
"In other words, Sun Essence Gold and Solar Crystal Gold. Six pieces of Sun Essence Gold and thirty pieces of Solar Crystal Gold are required." Li Qian deliberately enunciated clearly to distinguish between the two materials.
"Whew, that's a significant expense!" Dean Pan Bing was quite familiar with fire-attributed materials, and he immediately identified the two materials, after which he couldn't help but let out a cold breath.
Especially the Sun Essence Gold, which was quite rare and precious even among the Holy Spirit-ranked evolutionary materials.
As for Solar Crystal Gold, although not extremely rare, it was also not an ordinary material and was considered a mid-to-high-level existence among Overlord-ranked evolutionary materials.
Li Qian nodded in agreement, "Yes, when the two materials are combined, they must add up to the Heavenly Stems number, which is indeed a considerable expense."
Although this evolutionary material wasn't considered extremely precious, the sheer quantity of thirty pieces was still a significant cost.
"These are the evolutionary materials and conditions." Li Qian said, "Lastly, we need an Energy Concentration Array, and in this aspect, any array capable of energy concentration will do."
"However, since we already have a successful experience, I personally suggest it's best to set up the Nine-Nine Yuan Dragon Array."
"The Ancient Golden Banyan Tree eventually evolved into the Nine Dragon Fushang Tree, and I estimate that it should also have a certain relationship with this array."
Li Qian's words were not baseless; that day in Cloudwave City, within the array, the Ancestor Cypress had evolved into the Nine Dragon Fushang Tree with the help of the Nine-Nine Yuan Dragon Array, and it was definitely related to the array.
He speculated that using other energy concentration arrays should also be able to complete the final evolution, but whether the evolved pet beast would still be the Nine Dragon Fushang Tree was uncertain.
The only certainty was that it should be a similar type and rank of pet beast. Since there was already a successful case, and the outcome was uncertain, there was no need to try other arrays; copying the successful method would suffice.
With this in mind, Li Qian continued, "Regarding the Nine-Nine Yuan Dragon Array, I won't elaborate. I'm sure our school's Array College can definitely set it up."
As Li Qian's words fell, a middle-aged woman sitting not far from him spoke up, "Setting up the Nine-Nine Yuan Dragon Array is not only troublesome but also quite costly. It requires nine types of extraordinary resources related to dragon attributes."
"It's not just troublesome; the cost is also quite high." The middle-aged woman was named Hua Xiangrong, the vice dean of the Array College at Shazhou Beastmaster University. In this aspect, aside from the dean, she was the most authoritative.
Dean Park seemed to have mentioned that he had gone to Yun Tian City to help set up a large array.
Li Qian nodded slightly, "The Nine-Nine Yuan Dragon Array, with our school's strength and heritage, setting it up will definitely not be difficult. However, the location of the setup needs to be carefully considered."
"Previously, in the northern suburbs of Cloudwave City, where the Dimensional Rift appeared, we surrounded at least a dozen Sovereign Rank and five Holy Spirit Rank Extraordinary Beings. As for those below the Sovereign Rank, there's no accurate count, but it's certain that the number is definitely not small."
"With so many Companion Beasts being slaughtered within the Nine-Nine Yuan Dragon Array, and the energy absorbed by the array, this is what satisfies the evolution requirements of the Golden Ancient Banyan."
"If we want to set up the array, we need to carefully consider the location. It's best to set it up within the Dimensional Plane."
Li Qian's words made everyone's expressions turn even more solemn, and for a moment, the scene fell into silence.
After a while, President Park spoke up, sighing and muttering, "I had a premonition that Legendary Companion Beasts wouldn't be so easy to evolve."
"Now it seems that it's indeed not easy. The cost is indeed quite astonishing. However, even if the cost is high, we must do it, we must have it."
Dean Pan Bing immediately agreed, "Yes, the Nine-Phoenix Maple Tree is related to the heritage of Shazhou Beastmaster University. We must evolve at least two or three of them."
Li Qian heard these words, and his lips twitched slightly. Before, they said that each academy and each secret realm should have one, but now it's been reduced to two or three.
It seemed that they were quite self-aware, and Li Qian didn't expose their embarrassment.
In this way, Li Qian chatted with the school's higher-ups in Dean Fei's office for about three hours before finally leaving.
As soon as he stepped out, Dean Pan Bing called out to him from behind. Li Qian turned around and asked.
Not surprisingly, it was about the Fiery Sun Falcon. He curiously asked, "Dean Pan, how is the cultivation of the Fiery Sun Falcon going?"
Dean Pan Bing chuckled, "It has already advanced to the Sovereign Rank, and it won't take long to reach its racial potential limit."
Dean Pan Bing's words surprised Li Qian. He was very clear about the situation when the Fiery Sun Falcon was handed over.
It had only been a short time since then, and it had already advanced to the Sovereign Rank. It seemed that under the guidance of an experienced near-legendary Beastmaster, the cultivation and training the Fiery Sun Falcon received were quite beyond imagination.
The two walked and chatted along the way, and before long, they arrived at the entrance of Xian Ya Yuan. After bidding farewell to Dean Pan Bing, Li Qian didn't waste time and headed straight back to Xian Ya Yuan.
He called Wu You in the Third Secret Realm to understand the situation. Seeing that everything was normal, he didn't rush over.
As for Ilina, after returning to school, she left on her own, probably heading back to Fei He City.
Li Qian had mixed feelings about Senior Ilina. It was obvious that she felt something more than what she claimed as "protecting safety." Even as an observer, Li Qian understood this.
Since she didn't explicitly state her intentions, Li Qian decided to play dumb for now. After all, at this moment, he didn't know how to handle this relationship.
He shook his head, controlling his thoughts and not letting them run wild.
