Chapter 79: Prepared
Chapter 79: Prepared
After understanding the context of the situation, Li Qian finally realized why Old Tie would say that entering Shazhou Beastmaster University would grant him access to things that were countless times better than what he had.
Compared to the Unstable Rift, the Dimensional Rift was indeed countless times better.
He also understood why Chu Xiran and the others would keep it a secret.
Because this Unstable Rift was the private property of the families behind Zhu Bingqing and Bull Vigor.
To prevent others from getting involved, keeping it under wraps was a very normal operation.
At this point, the matter had already become relatively clear, but Li Qian's eyebrows did not fully relax.
Because he still didn't know why the Machinery Drought Sect was targeting this Unstable Rift.
Could it be that this Unstable Rift had something special about it?
Or perhaps, did they want to use this Unstable Rift to do something?
If it was just about targeting the Unstable Rift, Li Qian wasn't too worried.
He was afraid that it would affect Lingwater City.
Thinking of this, he became even more eager to train.
With Old Tie around, his safety should be assured.
However, if he wanted to take the initiative and do something, he needed to accumulate more foundation.
With Old Tie's identity, it was already remarkable that he could guard Li Qian's safety. Asking him to follow orders and attack wherever he was pointed was out of the question; Li Qian knew he didn't have that kind of face.
Ultimately, he still needed his own foundation and strength.
Time passed in a flash, and three days had gone by.
During these three days, Lingwater City was a little eerie; it was so peaceful and harmonious that nothing happened at all.
It wasn't that peace was a bad thing... but it was a little eerie and didn't seem like the style of the Machinery Drought Sect.
Li Qian noticed this eeriness but didn't speak up to remind them.
It was still the same words: whether it was the Public Security Bureau or Chu Xiran's group, none of them were dull-witted. If he could notice something, they certainly wouldn't be completely unaware.
There was no need for him to state the obvious.
Li Qian was very clear that, for him, the most important thing at this stage was to understand the situation.
So, on the evening of the third day, around ten o'clock, he went out with An Fatso, An Elder, and his father, Li Chengyang.
They arrived at the abandoned "Nova Pet Paradise."
The abandoned park at this time was quite different from when he first saw it.
Although most areas were still in ruins, the area near the northeast corner had been cleaned up, and it was evident that repairs had been made, with additional walls constructed.
The group got out of the car and approached on foot. Even before they reached the front, they could hear the sound of rushing water.
"Is it already completed?" In fact, although the reality was that the progress here far exceeded his expectations. If it wasn't for testing, it could have been handed over by noon today.
Hearing this, Li Qian became a little interested.
The Elder continued, "The biggest challenge for the artificial waterfall is the water. Originally, we were planning to use recirculating water..."
The so-called recirculating water was, in simple terms, the same pool of water being reused repeatedly.
This stagnant water was naturally inferior to the fresh water from a source.
Li Qian listened patiently as the Elder continued, "But three days ago, when we were inspecting, we accidentally discovered an irrigation canal near the water slide that led directly to the nearby Lingwater River.
"So, we've abandoned the recirculating water plan and are directly using the irrigation canal water. I'm not sure if the volume of water here can form an artificial waterfall that can be used for evolution."
Li Qian didn't give a direct reply but instead circled around the hundred-meter-tall waterslide.
Watching the water rushing down the slide, he nodded slightly, "It should be fine. I'll test it tomorrow morning to see if it's usable."
Besides this, he also planned to conduct other experiments here tomorrow.
He intended to set up a Frostfire Array here.
Since Bull Vigor was severely injured and still hospitalized, he had to set it up himself.
This was part of his plan.
By setting up a Frostfire Array here, he would have two places capable of evolving the Frostfire Salamander.
Not only would it allow for more flexible evolution arrangements, but it would also significantly increase secrecy.
He planned to set up the second Frostfire Array behind the waterslide.
The waterslide stood a hundred meters tall, with four converging lanes and a width of seven to eight meters, making it ideal for concealing the evolution light of the Frostfire Salamander.
Evolving here would provide better secrecy than within the breeding base.
Li Qian was well aware that the Machinery Drought Sect would never give up so easily.
They were definitely brewing something.
To avoid being affected and to assist in critical moments, Li Qian prepared a large amount of evolution materials, enough to support over ten evolutions.
The next morning, after completing the preparations, he drove alone to the waterslide location.
The waterslide had already been enclosed by a wall made of cement bricks.
Near the main road outside, an opening was created, and a guard post was constructed. An Elder sent a trusted person to stand guard here.
Today, he specifically instructed them, so the entire waterslide area, except for the exit, would remain undisturbed.
Even Old Tie had consciously retreated beyond this range.
In fact, Li Qian, being from Beastmaster University, understood this taboo better than others.
Moreover, at this moment, Li Qian had only received the invitation and notification, without enrolling, so even though he was very curious, he had no intention of prying, avoiding unnecessary complications.
Li Qian approached the waterslide and observed the fully operational artificial waterfall with satisfaction.
Through the examples of Qi Zai and Ah Fu, he had gained some experience with the evolution process from Koi to Azure Scaled Serpent.
Based on this experience, he assessed that the current situation could lead to the evolution of the Frostfire Salamander.
The difficulty would undoubtedly be significantly reduced compared to climbing Cloudmist Mountain, but he wasn't sure if it would affect the potential of the evolved beast.
This potential might not be apparent on the surface, but if the limits were broken in the future, the impact would be immense.
Some companion beasts that evolved through clever means might not even reach the theoretical potential limit of their race.
Since he was already here, Li Qian naturally wouldn't hesitate. He directly summoned Qi Zai and Little Six, tasking them with guarding the surroundings.
Then, he released Coalhead, Brocade One, Brocade Two, and Brocade Three, allowing them to adapt to the environment in the pool at the bottom of the waterslide.
After completing these tasks, Li Qian took out the Energy Stone and the materials for setting up the Frostfire Array. Taking a deep breath, he focused his gaze and began the array formation...
