Free Web NovelLan Yue's examination took some time this time.
After all, it was a large research institute, and their testing process was more complex, with countless projects.
It was even more complicated than when Golden Yuanbao first participated in the Thunder Demon Bird evolution research project.
It was an hour later when Mingxi received a copy of Lan Yue's test data.
“Xiao Guniang, your Bingji Cat’s various data are surprisingly good, it doesn’t even look like a mutated pet beast.”
Mi Bai was also looking at the test data, and the more he looked, the more startled he became, his originally nonchalant expression had vanished.
Mingxi just smiled and said nothing.
Lan Yue was not an ordinary mutated pet beast to begin with.
“That shouldn’t be.” Mi Bai became even more surprised, looking at Mingxi, “Have you given it any heavenly treasures? Otherwise, its data absolutely couldn’t be this good.”
Before Mingxi could answer, Chu Kuangsheng spoke, “Mi Lao, now that the examination is complete, can you take us to Return Nest?”
He didn't even know Mingxi's secrets, where did this old man get the nerve to dig for information?
Mi Bai’s face stiffened.
“...Alright.” freewebnovel.cσ๓
He had long heard that the Chu family’s Qilinzi was a difficult Yama to get along with, and seeing him today, he certainly lived up to his reputation!
Hmph!
Unreasonable.
Was he prying into privacy?
He was looking for experimental material for scientific progress!
Just like the new usage of the zhuangdan fruit announced by the state recently.
If it weren't for the tireless exploration and research of scientists like them, would Beast Tamers civilization have developed so quickly?
Regardless of what Mi Bai was thinking, the group finally arrived at the true destination of their trip.
Mingxi looked at the spectacle before her in shock.
“You know about a whale’s blowhole, right?”
Chu Kuangsheng’s voice was as cold as ever.
Mingxi nodded silently.
“That in front is the Bei Shan Turtle Whale’s blowhole, which is what Mi Lao and the others call Return Nest.”
Mingxi widened her eyes, “How can a blowhole be like this?”
It is well known that a blowhole is an organ used by whales for breathing.
They are usually located on the top of their heads.
When whales breathe, the gas mixed with some water sprayed from the hole creates a “spouting” phenomenon.
However, the scene before them could not be said to be identical to spouting; it could only be said to be completely unrelated.
Perhaps it was because the Bei Shan Turtle Whale had already died.
The name Return Nest, however, was quite fitting.
Return Nest was a huge, nest-like structure.
The ‘nest’ was formed by intertwining and accumulating dark brown branches and wooden blocks.
But if one looked closely, they would find that these branches and wooden blocks had no physical form; they were clearly some kind of special energy substance.
And the entire ‘nest’ floated in mid-air, hollow both above and below, with a light pillar at least ten meters thick passing through it.
This light pillar was also extremely mysterious.
The upper half was deep black, and the lower half was silver-white.
Overall, it looked like a strange sugar gourd skewer.
“The Bei Shan Turtle Whale’s blowhole was originally connected to its Bei Shan.
After the Bei Shan Turtle Whale fell, the Bei Shan collapsed, and the blowhole was exposed, which is why it became the spectacle it is today.”
Chu Kuangsheng explained.
Mingxi nodded.
Whether she understood or not, this world could not be judged by common sense anyway.
Unscientific was the normal phenomenon.
“Then will Lan Yue be entering this Return Nest later?”
Chu Kuangsheng nodded, “That’s right, the interior of Return Nest is a very peculiar energy magnetic field space, ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) where yin and yang, light and dark, cold and hot, space and time, etc., are all in a state of absolute balance.”
Upon hearing this, Mingxi’s eyes suddenly lit up.
Absolute conservation of energy?
Doesn't this mean...
“It has been verified that entering Return Nest has a certain probability of refining the attributes of Transcendent creatures, which is what we Beast Tamers call attribute optimization.”
“Your Bingji Cat possesses two inverse attributes, ice and fire. Theoretically, there must be a stronger and weaker one between these two attributes.
During the Bingji Cat’s growth, these two attributes will inevitably conflict and wear each other down.”
Chu Kuangsheng spoke at length for a rare moment, his expression solemn.
“Have you considered what the Bingji Cat will become if this situation continues for a long time?”
Mingxi was slightly stunned for a moment.
But she wasn't stupid.
She immediately frowned and said, “Either both attributes will weaken, or one of them will completely disappear.”
This was also the main reason why dual inverse-attribute pet beasts were difficult to cultivate.
Attributes clashed, restrained each other, and wore each other down.
Chu Kuangsheng nodded.
“That’s right.”
“That’s why I brought you here. If you’re lucky enough, the special magnetic field within Return Nest should allow the Bingji Cat’s two attributes to also reach a state of extreme balance.”
Coupled with the Bingji Cat’s impending evolution, if it could complete its evolution directly within Return Nest, then the possibility of these two inverse attributes achieving balance would be even higher.
Mingxi naturally already understood Chu Kuangsheng’s meaning.
“Then can I go in with Lan Yue?”
Mingxi was a little uneasy about letting Lan Yue enter Return Nest alone.
She was forced to leave it behind during its last evolution.
And now she had to let it face this alone again.
Mingxi couldn't bear it.
Moreover, while this Return Nest was an opportunity, such a place where energy converged, with its mysterious qualities, was bound to be extremely dangerous.
Chu Kuangsheng had already mentioned this before they came.
Chu Kuangsheng glared at her in exasperation, “I’ve already told you that you spoil your pet beasts too much. They’re not children; they don’t need you to protect and pamper them every minute.”
Mingxi: “...”
Chu Kuangsheng probably knew that her personality couldn’t be changed anymore.
After complaining, he answered:
“Unless your physical fitness reaches S-rank, going in would be a death sentence.”
Hearing this, Mingxi could only helplessly look at Lan Yue by her feet.
She squatted down and rubbed its head, “Little guy, my spirit is with you.”
“Ice Extremity.”
Lan Yue stretched out its paw and patted her knee.
Indicating that it was fine on its own.
Although it was regrettable that its Beast Tamers couldn't be by its side to witness its evolution again, it also knew that this situation was not what she wished for.
One could only say that this was fate.
Mingxi thought for a moment, then looked at Chu Kuangsheng with anticipation and asked, “Instructor, can Golden Yuanbao and Little Silver Flower go in together? With them accompanying me, I’ll feel more at ease.”
Unfortunately, Chu Kuangsheng shook his head again, “Return Nest can only be opened for two hours once a month, and only one Transcendent creature can enter at a time, otherwise it will trigger a massive magnetic field explosion.”
Mingxi: “...”
This meant Lan Yue was destined to fight alone.
“Go for it, we’ll be waiting for you down here and won’t go anywhere until you come out.”
“Ice Extremity.”
Mingxi, like an old mother seeing her child off on a long journey, muttered while starting to pull things out of her space.
First, she put the Two-Way Jade on Lan Yue.
Then she tied a cloth bag to its paw, containing a large amount of ice-attribute and fire-attribute energy crystal.
Just in case.
After all, if the Bingji Cat were to evolve normally, it would also need the assistance of ice-attribute and fire-attribute energy crystal.
