Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Blood Poison Moth Evolution Experiment (Part 1)
The agony that felt like being burned alive and being bitten by ten thousand ants suddenly disappeared.
Deafening snores emanated from Principal Zhang.
At this moment, he fell into a deep sleep.
Zhang Lingxue was so overjoyed that she cried upon seeing Principal Zhang like this.
It should be known that ever since Principal Zhang was afflicted with a chronic illness, he hadn’t had a proper sleep for a long time.
No matter what miracle cures the doctors prescribed, Principal Zhang could only doze off briefly, never entering such a deep sleep as now.
Indeed, this Essence of Blood is effective; if paired with other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, it might just restore grandpa’s cells.
However, there’s still a major obstacle in Zhang Lingxue’s path.
That is, how to eliminate the hidden toxins in grandpa’s blood; these toxins are very elusive, and even after a complete blood replacement, they reappear after some time.
These toxins are like a bone-fixed cancer, challenging to eradicate completely, which is why even the miracle-working doctors are helpless. They’ve never encountered such peculiar toxins.
Ordinary instruments and equipment can’t detect them, but they truly exist.
For now, it’s best to take it one step at a time.
Finding a way to alleviate grandpa’s ailment is already incredibly fortunate.
Principal Zhang slept for twelve hours before gradually waking up.
He felt excellent at that moment; the restoration of cellular activity significantly reduced his pain.
The pinholes on his arms began to scab and fall off as his self-healing ability started to recover.
"The effects are not bad."
"At least it allows me to sleep."
At this time, Zhang Lingxue took out a white Spiritual Crystal Core.
"Grandpa, this is the Spiritual Crystal Core I found from the mutated Blood Storm Rat King."
"These crystal cores contain extremely pure spiritual power."
"They should be able to replace the polluted parts of you."
The old principal casually took it over, and as soon as his mind came into contact with the Spiritual Crystal Core,
a refreshing breath surged into his sea of consciousness.
Most of the sea of consciousness was azure, with only a small part chaotic and black.
However, the moment the breath entered the sea of consciousness, the chaotic black part slightly calmed down.
Useful, indeed useful.
The old principal had used High Tier crystal cores, yet none were as useful as this small Tier Three core.
This validates a common saying, that treating illness and using medicine shouldn’t just be expensive but should be the right one.
Treat the condition with the right remedy to heal the injury.
After witnessing that the Spiritual Crystal Core worked for him, the old principal’s gaze fell on the pile of Spiritual Crystal Cores.
Bang, bang, bang.
The remaining crystal cores all shattered, and an incomparably pure spiritual power was injected into the old principal’s sea of consciousness.
Like a stabilizing force, it significantly weakened the black part of the sea of consciousness.
The old principal laughed heartily, stood up, and stretched, producing cracking sounds.
His originally hunched back straightened up, walking with a regal stride, resembling a majestic lion.
"Who would have thought that the solution to such an intractable ailment would lie in a Tier One Burrowing Rat."
"Xiaoxue, I will find a way to obtain this Burrowing Rat Secret Realm from Wang Jinyin."
"My hope of recovery likely lies within this Secret Realm."
"This Secret Realm also holds immense value and should be submitted to Flame Country."
"Many Pet Beast Masters like me, whose spiritual power is polluted, can use these Spiritual Crystal Cores for treatment."
The old principal felt that with more Spiritual Crystal Cores, he could completely cleanse his polluted sea of consciousness.
At this point, Zhang Lingxue showed a guilty look on her face: "Grandpa, let me draw another tube of your blood for analysis to see if there are any new developments."
On the other side, Ye Bai had already returned to the laboratory.
He placed three Hundred-Change Silkworms, set to evolve into Blood Poison Moths, in the laboratory.
Next, he sliced the Tier Four Exotic Beast blood and flesh into thumb-sized pieces and fed it to the three Hundred-Change Silkworms.
After consuming the flesh, the Hundred-Change Silkworms’ eyes were filled with blood, appearing to be in a frenzied state.
A faint blood mist emanated from their skin, white like jade.
They twisted their bodies, looking extremely painful.
The three Hundred-Change Silkworms collided with each other, producing thumping sounds.
"It seems that Tier Four Exotic Beast flesh is still a bit too much for the Hundred-Change Silkworms."
Ye Bai stroked his chin, secretly jotting down notes in his notebook.
The lab’s camera was also turned on by him.
These would all become important material documenting the Hundred-Change Silkworm’s evolution.
Ye Bai had just conducted a detailed examination of the three Hundred-Change Silkworms.
He found the cellular activity of these silkworms extremely high, potentially key to their evolution into Blood Poison Moths.
Successfully researching a new evolutionary path isn’t just about revealing the required Evolution Materials.
The whole research process is crucial to achieving evolutionary reproducibility.
Every aspect must be considered in the evolution of every Pet Beast.
Each newly discovered evolutionary path is hard-earned.
Using the Eye of Insight, Ye Bai could observe the Hundred-Change Silkworms’ success rate in evolving fluctuating wildly, like a rollercoaster.
One of the silkworm’s eyes began to spin, and its body started to swell up, like a fermenting bun.
"Not good, this Hundred-Change Silkworm can’t absorb the Tier Four Exotic Beast’s flesh and is about to self-destruct."
"Big Gray, stop it quickly."
This Hundred-Change Silkworm self-destructing would inevitably affect the remaining two.
But at this moment, countless steel-like stems suddenly burst from the ground, tightly enveloping the three Hundred-Change Silkworms.
The rich blood energy from the silkworms was directly absorbed by the Sunflower King’s stems.
The silkworm that was about to self-destruct was thus saved, its body returning to its original size, albeit looking very debilitated.
At that moment, the Sunflower King flicked its nectar into the mouth of the weakened silkworm, and a cool breath fell into its mouth.
Soon after, the Hundred-Change Silkworm recovered, lively and energetic.
"Amazing."
"Sunflower King."
Ye Bai patted the little head of the Sunflower King.
It seems that starting with feeding Tier Four Exotic Beast meat was wrong.
The Hundred-Change Silkworms would burst from being unable to withstand the power of Tier Four blood and flesh.
It seems necessary to change the order of feeding Evolution Materials.
Ye Bai waited until the Hundred-Change Silkworms’ bodies almost recovered before conducting a second experiment.
This time, he first fed the Tier Two Blood Core to the Hundred-Change Silkworms, and soon the chaotic energy from the Blood Core caused the silkworms to lose their sanity again.
But this time, with the Sunflower King stepping in early to bind them, they did not collide with each other.
However, after adding Tier Four Exotic Beast flesh, problems still arose.
