Free Web NovelBright Crystal’s situation was actually similar to Golden Yuanbao’s before; neither knew their evolution methods and could only grope around on their own.
And then there was Black Pearl.
It had also reached General-level peak, and its energy purity was rapidly increasing.
Everyone’s strength was increasing too quickly, and they were troubled by evolution problems every day.
Sigh.
It was so frustrating.
“Don’t worry, you still have a great advantage.”
Mingxi hugged the dejected Bright Crystal, rubbing its head, which was covered in golden patterns. “Although no one knows your evolution method, as the only Gu Guai Zhen Guan in heaven and earth, you are 100% capable of evolving to Venerable-level, or even higher to God-level.
Unlike Golden Yuanbao and the others, no one knows how far they can evolve.”
This was a fact, and Mingxi wouldn't withhold it for fear of making Golden Yuanbao and the others feel inferior; they weren't Transcendent creatures who would feel inferior.
“You need to stabilize your emotions now; let everything take its natural course. Besides, your current energy purity isn’t high, so it’s not too late to evolve a bit later.”
“Guwo?”
Then when do you think it’s suitable for me to evolve?
Bright Crystal wasn’t unable to understand Mingxi’s meaning, but it was still annoyed.
To put it bluntly, it was originally the strongest in the world (self-proclaimed), but now it was being suppressed by its subordinates (as it thought), so it was unhappy and displeased.
Mingxi: “...”
Aren’t you making things difficult for me, little brother? Your evolution isn’t something I can arrange.

“How about you discuss it with Emerald Green? You two can take care of the Nitu Poison Spore together later?”
The Nitu Poison Spore obtained last time in Yue Ling No. 3 Secret Land had not been used because Emerald Green wanted to extract and produce as much toxin as possible for Bright Crystal to convert.
Bright Crystal’s 【Body of Hundred Poisons】 required a large amount of toxins to evolve.
The Nitu Poison Spore was quite special; it could continuously combine with various materials to form new toxins, which was why Emerald Green and Bright Crystal had held back from using it.
To avoid draining the pond to catch all the fish.
“Guwo!”
Bright Crystal’s big eyes immediately looked at Emerald Green.
Emerald Green, however, shook its head decisively, “Jin.”
Not yet.
Under Bright Crystal’s gaze, which seemed to say, ‘If you don’t give me an explanation, I’m going to throw a tantrum,’ Emerald Green calmly explained that it wanted to maximize the benefits of the Nitu Poison Spore by making it into the most suitable potion for both of them.
“Ah Fei, have you researched some new type of potion again?”
Mingxi asked curiously.
“Jin.” Emerald Green nodded; it had been tinkering with the Nitu Poison Spore recently and did have some ideas.
Mingxi sighed, these pet beasts of hers were truly amazing, highly intelligent and willing to work hard; if they didn’t succeed, who would?
Compared to them, her own aptitude was truly mediocre.
“Are you still missing materials?”
“Jin.”
Indeed, a few materials were missing, but they were growing on those two thousand life stones, it just needed a bit of time.
“Then Bright Crystal, you’ll have to wait a bit longer.”
Bright Crystal also knew Emerald Green’s capabilities; if it handled it, the Nitu Poison Spore would surely be utilized to its maximum effect.
“Guwo.”
Then I’ll wait.
Sigh.
It looked enviously at Golden Yuanbao, who was still extraordinarily heroic even when shrunken.
If it had known that participating in the Nine Slaughter Battle could lead to evolution, it would have snatched the opportunity and gone itself.
Bright Crystal’s eyes reddened with regret.
Because Golden Yuanbao had evolved, Mingxi took it into the Time Realm once.
Everyone said that the evolution of Transcendent creatures to Emperor-level was a true rebirth. Only after seeing Golden Yuanbao’s new data did Mingxi understand the true value of this ‘rebirth.’
And °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° ‘Yuanshi Demon Phoenix’ was Golden Yuanbao’s race name after evolving.

After a brief two-hour rest, Mingxi went to the Dark Street again.
The Crooked General Store still only had the old man with the broken leg. Mingxi didn’t disturb him again but walked around the shop several times.
She did indeed discover a few anomalies. Just as she was about to confirm them one by one.
“Rumble.”
The weather turned bad; a strong wind suddenly rose, and heavy rain began to fall.
“Guwo.”
Although Bright Crystal didn't understand human social conventions, it had heard a lot of Chiyu's teachings during this time and seen how fawning Emerald Green was in taking care of Mingxi.
It knew that humans would get sick if they got wet in the rain.
Mingxi, this woman, was usually quite good to it. If she got sick, no one would kiss it anymore.
After thinking for a moment, it rummaged through its space and pulled out an umbrella, holding it over Mingxi’s head.
Mingxi was stunned for a moment. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
“Our Bright Crystal knows how to take care of people now.”
“Guwo.”
That’s nothing, I’m very good at taking care of people.
Mingxi: “...”
Mingxi then looked at the Yin Puppet Banyan tree, which was three stories high, not far away.
The heavy rain drummed continuously on the umbrella-like canopy of the Yin Puppet Banyan.
Through the dense rain, the Emerald Green flower that Emerald Green had transformed into on her fingertip swayed gently amidst the thunder.
“Jin Jin.”
That Yin Puppet tree is a bit off.
Emerald Green was a bit confused; it felt an anomaly but couldn't pinpoint exactly where the anomaly was.
If Lan Yue were here, it would be great; its five senses were the most sensitive.
Lan Yue had entered the Energy Pool after returning from Yue Ling No. 3 Secret Land, absorbing in sleep mode, so she wouldn't be out for a short time.
Mingxi knew its thoughts; after learning she only had four years, it felt it wasn’t working hard enough.
Mingxi stepped on the damp moss and walked towards the big tree, staring at the rusty, broken old oil lamp deep within the banyan tree’s aerial roots.
She crouched down, picked up a piece of the oil lamp, and brought it close to her nose.
“Mermaid oil?”
Mermaid oil, to be precise, was the saliva of the Transcendent creature Gold-Devouring Mermaid. This substance was not easy to collect because Gold-Devouring Mermaids only lived in the deep sea and would not form contracts with human Beast Tamers.
Besides being combustible, Gold-Devouring Mermaid oil was also an important material for many insect-type Transcendent creatures to evolve to King-level and Emperor-level.
In other words, Gold-Devouring Mermaid oil was extremely precious.
Even a big spendthrift from a wealthy noble family would be unlikely to use it as lamp oil.
It was too extravagant.
Unless...
“Yin Puppet Banyan, Mermaid oil lamp.”
Mingxi circled the banyan tree but still found no anomalies; it seemed like a perfectly ordinary banyan tree.
“Golden Yuanbao.”
“Yuanshi.”
Golden Yuanbao opened its third eye. After evolving to Emperor-level, its Heaven and Earth Thunder Eye had changed again, its grade increasing from Treasure-grade to Supreme-grade.
The Heavenly Eye’s ability to see through illusions naturally became stronger; basically, illusory scenes and objects could not hide from its eyes.
“Yuanshi!”
There is indeed a problem!
Golden Yuanbao indicated that there should be a double space inside the tree trunk. It then pointed to a certain spot on the tree canopy, and there was a strange leaf there; other leaves were green in its eyes, but only that one was white.
That was indeed strange.
Yin Puppet Banyan leaves only came in two colors, green and yellow. In Mingxi’s eyes, all the leaves on this tree were green.
Not to mention the double space.
