Chapter 545: News of the Icefire Dragon
Chapter 545: News of the Icefire Dragon
In the following days, Li Qian began to busy himself in a rhythmic manner. He was not the type to wear his emotions on his sleeve, nor was he the kind of person who would overwork himself to the point of exhaustion.
Li Qian was well aware that his body was the foundation of his revolution, and he understood that no matter what he did, he needed to maintain a balance between work and rest.
So, although he felt a sense of urgency within, he maintained his usual study and research routine on the surface.
Li Qian thought that his approach would not attract attention, but on the third day, Wu You sought him out.
"Li Qian, what exactly happened in Cloudwave City?" Taking the opportunity, during a free moment, Wu You asked.
Hearing her question, Li Qian felt her concern, and he shook his head helplessly.
Despite his efforts to appear normal, Wu You had sensed something was amiss. It was inevitable, as they had spent so much time together, and the Winged woman had come to know him very well.
Li Qian did not directly acknowledge her suspicions but gave a vague, half-true explanation, "I did experience some things, and these experiences made me realize my insignificance and heightened my sense of urgency."
Before the Winged woman could ask further, Li Qian continued, "Alright, don't overthink it. Focus on your training and improve your strength. That way, you can better assist me."
"You're a capable assistant under my contract, and I don't want you to become a weak link in my power."
"After your evolution, your body has completely transformed into an extraordinary physique, although you don't have an attribute. But that's not necessarily a bad thing."
"Without an attribute, learning any skill will be a little more challenging. However, with effort and decent aptitude, you can master any skill."
"Even time-related skills, with more communication with Radiant Cat, it's not impossible to learn them." Li Qian added at the end.
The Winged woman's lips twitched slightly at Li Qian's words, barely noticeable. Did he really think she was that easy to fool, even learning time-related skills?
She glared at Li Qian, slightly annoyed, "Rest assured, I can't guarantee anything else, but I won't become a weak link in your power."
In reality, with her four companion beasts, Wu You even felt that she had the potential to become Li Qian's most trusted right-hand.
After a brief chat with Wu You, Li Qian sent her off to cultivate, and he continued to focus on researching the evolution method of the Icefire Dragon.
[Task 1: Evolution Method of Frostfire Devil Salamander, Inspiration +1, Current Task Progress 83%!].
Li Qian had already established the research task for the Frostfire Devil Salamander, but the progress was a cause for concern. Despite spending a significant amount of time on it, reading numerous books and materials, the increase in inspiration was minimal.
After a whole week, the research progress was barely noticeable. Currently, they had confirmed two things: First, the evolved form of the Frostfire Devil Salamander was indeed the Icefire Dragon. Second, the evolution required two extremely rare evolutionary materials, one of which was likely the Molten Orchid.
The Molten Orchid was not only precious but also scarce, growing only in the scorching magma deep underground.
Of course, in addition to this information, Li Qian had gathered some other fragmented details, but they were not well-organized, making it impossible to connect them. Otherwise, the evolution task would not have progressed to eighty-three percent.
However, Li Qian was well aware that eighty-three percent was just the beginning. Every evolution task was like this, becoming more challenging as it progressed.
After a week, Li Qian also met with the young girl, Sun Ruirui, a few times. He knew why she had come to Shazhou Beastmaster University as an exchange student, and he couldn't avoid her, as it would hurt her feelings.
So, Li Qian met with her a few times, and during those days, she was busy preparing for exams.
She wanted to apply for a grade skip to join Li Qian's year, but when this request reached Dean Fei, he did not grant her special treatment.
However, he did not completely shut the door on her either. Dean Fei gave her a condition: If Sun Ruirui could pass the cultivation exam organized by the Cultivation Academy, she could directly skip grades and study third-year courses, catching up with Li Qian.
Sun Ruirui, full of confidence after hearing this, threw herself into her studies, spending the entire week reviewing the cultivation courses she had missed.
Li Qian was also aware of this, and when he heard about it, he couldn't help but shake his head.
This girl was stubborn; she wanted to self-study all the cultivation courses of the first and second years in a short time and pass the exams. The most critical factor was that she had studied combat in the previous semester, and even with Sun Hongyi's help, it was still unlikely.
Unless she was a true prodigy, one in a million, there was no hope.
In a week, Li Qian had thoroughly gone through his collection of books and materials related to the Frostfire Devil Salamander, Icefire Dragon, and even the Golden Carp.
Unfortunately, the inspiration gained was limited, leaving him helpless. Unable to think of a better approach, Li Qian continued his efforts, spending time in the library, searching through the school's collection.
Due to several recent incidents and the evolution methods of his two legendary companion beasts, his relationship with Grandma Gu had improved after their previous collaboration.
As a result, the library granted him unrestricted access to all information, both public and hidden, related to the golden carp, Frostfire Devil Salamander, and Icefire Dragon.
Another week passed, and the progress was quite impressive, with inspiration increasing by two points, bringing the task progress to eighty-five percent.
However, completing the task was still a distant goal. Just as Li Qian thought this task might take a long time, Sun Ruirui, who had come to visit the Jade Research Facility for the first time, brought him some news.
"Brother Qian, you can ask at Zhonghai Beast University. I remember my third uncle once said that they had conducted research in this area."
Sun Ruirui spoke matter-of-factly, "You can go and talk to them; they shouldn't refuse."
Hearing Sun Ruirui's words, Li Qian's eyes lit up. This was indeed a good idea.
