Free Web NovelBefore Lei Yan Great Wind evolved, Mingxi certainly couldn't have known that Thunder Demon Bird's evolution required ghost thunder flower.
So Yuan Hongye guessed that Mingxi probably didn't recognize ghost thunder flower at the time, thinking it was an ordinary medicinal material and just gave it to Thunder Demon Bird to eat.
She didn't expect that by accident, Thunder Demon Bird evolved because of it?
Mingxi secretly thought, "This isn't what I said."
She sighed, feigning helplessness, and nodded.
"You child, you really are..."
Seeing her nod, Yuan Hongye smiled wryly, "You absolutely must not do that again in the future. Transcendent creatures basically have an anti-rejection property. Eating anti-attribute materials can very likely cause energy disintegration. This is no joke."
The so-called anti-rejection property means rejecting anti-attribute materials and potions. If accidentally consumed, it can lead to illness in mild cases, and energy disintegration and regression in severe cases.
For example, a fire-attribute Crimson Flame Tiger cannot consume energy fruits like Water Spirit Fruit.
Of course, there are exceptions to the anti-rejection property.
Lan Yue is an exception.
Because it inherently possesses two opposing attributes, ice and fire, it will not experience rejection from any anti-attribute materials or potions.
"This time, Lei Yan Great Wind was lucky; it might have just hit the mark by chance."
Yuan Hongye didn't know what to say about Mingxi.
Should she say she was lucky, or that she was being reckless?
Mingxi rubbed the tip of her nose and chuckled dryly, "I know, I definitely won't do that again next time."
"Alright, as long as you know what you're doing."
Yuan Hongye thought for a moment, then asked, "Besides ghost thunder flower, can you think of any other evolutionary factors?"
"Golden Yuanbao's energy level had reached its limit for some time, and its condition was very full when it consumed the ghost thunder flower."
Mingxi didn't mention the zhuangdan fruit now.
Anyway, zhuangdan fruit has absolutely no direct connection to Thunder Demon Bird's evolution.
She wasn't feeling guilty.
She planned to wait until Lan Yue evolved to intermediate level, confirm the use of zhuangdan fruit again, and then find a way to publicize the matter.
By then, the zhuangdan fruit should also be almost fully collected. freēwēbnovel.com
She wasn't greedy; earning enough for Golden Yuanbao and their two years' worth of food would be enough.
She didn't care about being selfish or not.
It's not like she's committing murder or arson; who can live without a little self-interest?
"Good, so it's highly likely that ghost thunder flower is the key to Thunder Demon Bird's evolution."
Yuan Hongye frowned slightly. If one of Thunder Demon Bird's evolution conditions truly was ghost thunder flower, their subsequent research plan would need to be modified.
If the universality is too low, then it loses much of its research value.
However, there's no rush with this matter. First, they need to find a way to apply for a ghost thunder flower, and then discuss it after confirming the evolution condition is correct.
Mingxi stayed at the cultivation center until 8 PM and then left with Fu Yifan.
This time was something she had requested in advance.
After leaving, she went to the adjacent Yushou Center to modify Little Silver Flower's information.
She got home before 9 PM.
Unless absolutely necessary, Mingxi did not want to open the Time Realm outside anymore.
It wasn't because she feared the power of the toilet god, but because she couldn't be sure how long the dark department would keep an eye on her.
So, during this period, staying low was the safest option.
Days passed, and Mingxi dutifully shuttled between home and school, visiting the cultivation center every few days.
The experimental project team had already confirmed that ghost thunder flower was the key condition for Thunder Demon Bird to evolve to the next stage.
However, the experimental pet beast that successfully evolved in the project team had an appearance vastly different from Golden Yuanbao.
The experimental pet beast's feathers, wings, and tail feathers were all different from Golden Yuanbao's.
Its feathers were not connected, their color was not as deep, and there were no dark patterns at the bottom.
The wings had an even greater difference; the experimental pet beast's wings had transformed into two pairs, one large and one small, one upper and one lower.
The upper pair of wings was smaller, only about half the size of the lower wings.
Their tips were very sharp, and the feather shape somewhat resembled a shuriken.
Neither pair of wings showed a gradual darkening; they remained a brilliant, deep gold.
The tail feathers had become slightly longer, but they did not have the four whip-like long tails like Golden Yuanbao.
Clearly, the experimental pet beast was not Lei Yan Great Wind, but another new form.
After discussing with the two project leaders, Yuan Hongye temporarily named this new form Wind Thunder Bird.
Mingxi guessed that the reason Golden Yuanbao didn't evolve into a Wind Thunder Bird was likely related to the dark energy it possessed.
If the project team wanted to cultivate a second Lei Yan Great Wind, they would need to find a Thunder Demon Bird that also had dark energy within it.
Mingxi felt it wouldn't be easy.
There aren't many existing Thunder Demon Birds to begin with, let alone finding such a special existence.
The possibility was minuscule.
If cultivated and evolved from a Golden Feather Finch, it would take at least several months to reach the strength limit of a Thunder Demon Bird.
So, for at least one or two years, Golden Yuanbao would be the only Lei Yan Great Wind in the entire galaxy.
It might even be longer.
Because energy mutation phenomena are inherently rare, even if Thunder Demon Bird's evolutionary chain is confirmed, Lei Yan Great Wind might become an extremely rare evolutionary direction.
The Beast Taming Civilization has developed to this day, and based on the difficulty and rarity of evolution, Transcendent creatures are further divided into four levels: Common, Rare, Legendary, and Mythical.
Most of the Transcendent creatures in this world are Common-level Transcendent creatures.
Tianlian Chongming Wu is of Legendary level.
As for Mythical-level Transcendent creatures, they only exist in the annals of history, having completely disappeared due to being too difficult to cultivate.
For example, Little Silver Flower is actually a Mythical-level Transcendent creature.
And Golden Yuanbao's situation, even if it doesn't reach Legendary level, is at least Rare level.
Mingxi could only say, "Amazing, my Golden Yuanbao!"
The project team didn't neglect Mingxi and Golden Yuanbao because of this; instead, they valued them even more. The rarer Lei Yan Great Wind was, the higher its research value.
So, during this rare period of peace, Mingxi was still incredibly busy.
Days passed one by one.
Soon, the day of the middle school entrance exam approached.
On June 20th, Mingxi ate the fried dough sticks and two boiled eggs that her Grandma had woken up early to make, symbolizing a perfect score.
"Xiao Xi, you don't need to be too nervous. We'll take the exam if we can, and if we don't do well, we'll continue studying next year. You must keep a calm mind, okay?"
Ruan Qinghe knew best how hard her granddaughter had worked during this period, which was no less than when she worked to support the family before.
She certainly hoped her granddaughter could achieve her wishes, but she didn't want her to push herself too hard.
Mingxi held her Grandma's slightly damp hand, a bit exasperated, "Grandma, I'm not nervous. You're the one who's nervous."
She was even sweating from nervousness.
"You child, isn't Grandma worried about you?"
"Grandma, I'll definitely be fine. You wait until I get into Tide Beast High School, and I'll take you with me to Han Ning City."
As her brain domain development continuously improved, along with the feedback from Golden Yuanbao and the others' evolution, Mingxi could clearly feel that her memory was much better than before.
When studying, it was as if she had divine help. Some things she couldn't understand or figure out before could now be quickly integrated and comprehended.
The feeling was like having an extra brain.
