“Take it slow, don’t rush it. Everyone will get one,” Gao Peng said.
“Flamy, you first.” Gao Peng glanced at Flamy and knew that it was the most anxious; it just felt embarrassed and didn’t want to say anything.
Gao Peng let Silly take out the additional materials and put them inside its storage, filling several warehouses.
Gao Peng had obtained a rich haul on Nihon Island. After all, it was the inventory of an entire big district, so there were several nice items. Indeed, there were no materials to advance to the Mythical grade. The number of materials that could be used to advance to the Legendary grade was also few, but there was a decent amount of materials that could be used to advance monsters to the Epic grade. It was good that materials needed to advance Flowing Light and Moneymaker to the Epic grade could all be found and collected from the warehouse…
Gao Peng hadn’t managed to find any advancement materials for Flamy in the material warehouse of the Nihon government. However, a watched flower never bloomed, but an untended willow grew. When he was returning, Gao Peng went to Zhurong Peak on Mount Heng along the way, and he found a Flamy Feather Tree on top of the mountain.
This was an incredibly rare fire god tree. A Nine-headed Flamy Sparrow had built a nest on the Flamy Feather Tree. Gao Peng drove the little sparrow away before taking the tree.
After Gao Peng collected the tree, the Nine-headed Flamy Sparrow followed behind them for half a day before finally leaving unwillingly after they reached the border of Yuzhou.
Gao Peng was very touched. The people of Xiangnan had always been very welcoming. Even the sparrows of the place were very welcoming and passionate.
The main ingredient for one of Flamy’s paths to advance to the Legendary grade was the Top Heart Feather of the Flamy Feather Tree. After finding the main ingredient, the other supplemental ingredients were also gathered. After such a long time, it was finally time for Flamy to welcome a grade advancement.
Gao Peng brought Flamy to the lab and started to mix the ingredients.
By using the special processing method on the ingredients one by one, Gao Peng finally made what looked like crimson medicinal liquid, then he asked Flamy over to spit a fireball into the liquid.
Although Flamy was confused, it still obediently did as it was asked and spat fire into the medicine. A light flame rose instantly on the surface of it. The Top Feather of the Flamy Feather Tree was on top of the flame. The feather actually started sinking along with the flame, and before long, it dissolved into the medicine.
“Drink it.” Flamy was very obedient and drank it clean. Before long, it held its stomach and started running. It looked like it was going to the toilet.
Crisp and clear clacking sounds could be heard as it hopped on its single foot on the brick floor.
“Your turn.” Gao Peng started to prepare Moneymaker’s reagent.
Moneymaker and Flowing Light were both currently at the Perfect grade. They would move to the Epic grade in the next phase, and at the same time, awaken their first special characteristic.
After half an hour, Moneymaker’s reagent was a success. This time, it was finally not a big pot of liquid, but a golden pill instead. Of course, the first moment it was produced, it wasn’t a pill. It was only after the residue accumulated at the bottom of the experiment equipment. After that, by following the guide, Gao Peng managed to turn it into a pill shape with a dumbfounded expression.
Why a freaking pill shape?! Will making it into a pill shape increase the absorption rate?! Gao Peng couldn’t help but complain.
However, this method didn’t come with a guide book. With Gao Peng’s current knowledge, if he were to mix ingredients by himself, he could only create Excellent-grade reagents after familiarizing himself with the monster’s grade and ability. For an Epic-grade concoction like this, even Gao Peng could barely understand the method. As for the theories behind it, he couldn’t really understand them.
After eating the pill, the greedy rodent stood up like a human as it stared directly at Silly with its shining eyes. However, after a while, its ears moved slightly. It glanced at Silly twice with suspicion as its whiskers moved a bit. It looked as if it had a thief’s eye.
The Treasure Sniffing Rodent could feel that it was about to faint. Its ears were filled with all kinds of noise. It could also see crisscrossing night lights around it, with various smell slowly reaching his nose. There was spicy food, sweet food, and bitter food. For its small brain that could only process so many things, the surge of information almost caused its brain to cease functioning.
However, as long as it could fully adapt to it, it would be able to evolve. Gao Peng ignored it after taking a glance at it. Its evolution path was meant to improve its senses so it could sense more treasures. It was the sort of strengthening that would allow it to explore and find out many more valuable things.
At first, when Gao Peng had just started out developing and growing his familiars, he still had the idea of developing comprehensively. However, by now, his ideas had changed. Right then, Gao Peng only wanted to maximize the potential of his familiars in one special direction. As long as they didn’t have very obvious weaknesses, it would be okay.
A team needed good chemistry and coordination between all kinds of monsters, not just a group of all-rounders.
The Treasure Sniffing Rodent continued to explore the location for treasure. Flowing Light also continued to strengthen its assassination skills. Now, faced with leveling up Goldie and the others, it was very hard for Flowing Light to display its advantages as an assassin.
When faced with weaker opponents, Gao Peng’s familiars usually showed dominance, and for enemies who were too strong, Flowing Light couldn’t deal a deadly and fatal blow in one hit. As such, the three evolution paths that Gao Peng provided for Flowing Light were to strengthen his attacks and anonymity!
After two hours, the three familiars succeeded in their advancements.
[Monster Name]: Black Armored Blood Bladed Beast
[Monster Level]: Level 50
[Monster Grade]: Epic/Epic
[Monster Attributes]: Wind
[Monster Skills]: Hardened Shell Level 3, Sharp Edge Level 4, Explosive Jump Level 2, Wind Mastery Level 4
[Monster Weakness]: Ice
[Special Characteristics]: Wind Armor (Slight)
Death Blood Line Seal (An excellent assassin can exploit its enemies’ weaknesses and deal a fatal blow, while a much more exceptional assassin can actively create opportunities.
Active Effect 1: The Black Armored Blood Bladed Beast can create a line of blood on its enemies’ body by staring at the enemy. The blood line cannot be removed using conventional purifying skills, and it is also impossible for the naked eye to detect. The maximum number of blood lines on a single target is nine.
Passive Effect 1: When the Black Armored Blood Bladed Beast’s attack hits the blood line, it can deal extra damage to the enemy, while at the same time, it can ignore the enemy’s defense.)
[Monster Description]: The White Steel Bladed Beast’s evolved form. It possesses incredible attack ability. At the same time, to increase its stealth, the Black Armored Blood Bladed Beast chose a smaller and more agile body size.
[Advancement Route to Legendary Grade]: 1. Black Steel Shadowbeast (Shadow Evolution) 2. Violent Bloody Sea Beast (Killer Evolution)
Upon seeing the Black Armored Blood Bladed Beast that was four inches shorter than it had been before the evolution, although its blood-colored arm blades were four inches longer than before the evolution, Gao Peng had an ominous feeling.
Flowing Light used its arm blade to scratch its head and felt like something was wrong. How did all the plants around me grow taller in the short period of time that I was evolving?
Flowing Light ran to a tree to measure its height. This tree was the same one that it used to measure its height once per day.
Using its arm blade to measure its height, Flowing Light’s smile gradually disappeared. It started to become depressed. Flowing Light stood in place, wondering if this was an illusion.
A gust of wind came. Flowing Light’s figure looked extremely lonely.
Gao Peng noticed that in the Grade section, there was an extra “/Epic.” After that, more information appeared in Gao Peng’s mind. The latter was the peak of the monster’s grade while the former was the monster’s current grade.
This was also Gao Peng’s new ability after Gao Peng had awakened from receiving many souls of familiars, using them to nurture and strengthen his soul.
