“Looking for me? What have I done recently?”

Bai Qi scratched his head in confusion and didn’t dwell on it. Yi Xiaowei didn’t want to continue the topic either and said, “I heard from Old Lady Fan when I was delivering supplies a few days ago that you chose the Ancestral Beast that couldn’t evolve?”

“Yes.”

Old Lady Fan, who seemed stern, turned out to be a gossip?

Appearances can be deceiving…

Hearing Bai Qi’s confirmation, Yi Xiaowei urgently advised, “Although it’s not very fair to the little guy, I suggest you switch to another one. As long as there isn’t a contract, Old Lady Fan allows exchanges.”

Bai Qi waved his hand and said, “Thank you, but I think it’s fine. There’s no need to switch.”

Yi Xiaowei paused, suddenly thought of something, and said, “The attributeless materials you asked me to find can’t be for it, are you planning to train it into the Combat System?”

“Uh, you could say that.”

Although Delta could temporarily maintain its evolved form, aside from the passive talent that came with its evolutionary form, it only had one ability, Savage Charge. Calling it the Combat System wasn’t wrong.

“Combat System, I actually haven’t heard of anyone raising an Ancestral Beast into the Combat System. Maybe your approach will work.”

People who chose to contract with Ancestral Beasts usually aimed for various flashy evolutionary forms. Who would pick an Ancestral Beast for serious fights?

The two of them went into the Holy Relic Tower together, passed straight through the hall, and arrived at Yi Xiaowei’s personal laboratory.

Contrary to Bai Qi’s expectation of an eerie, dark wizard style, Yi Xiaowei’s lab was surprisingly tidy.

The dissection area, cultivation area, testing area…

Each area had clear functions, everything was distinctly allocated, looking like a state-of-the-art biological research lab.

You told me before that you wanted attributeless materials. I’ve selected some for you, but since you plan to train the Ancestral Beast into the Combat System, you’ll have to choose some other ones.”

Yi Xiaowei sat in front of the computer and after operating for a while, she quickly pulled up the data for six kinds of materials.

[Name]: Ant Claws of Herculean Ant

[Level]: Epic

[Description]: The most powerful part of the Herculean Ant, used with other materials it can enhance the power of the pet beast.

[Name]: Thick Rhinoceros Hide

[Level]: Epic

[Description]: Years of fighting have given the rhinoceros a strong defense, used with other materials it can enhance the defense of a pet beast.

[Name]: Twin-Headed Shark Fin

[Level]: Epic

[Description]: The essence of the Twin-Headed Shark, it can greatly enhance the power of a pet beast.

[Name]: Spirit Stone Milk

[Level]: Epic

[Description]: A rare product found only in vibrant places, it can enhance the constitution of a pet beast to a great extent, increasing energy values.

[Name]: Green Sky Grass

[Level]: Epic

[Description): A plant said to be formed from the blood of a divine beast, used with auxiliary materials it can increase the reaction speed of a pet beast.

[Name]: Lighthouse Jellyfish Tentacles

[Level]: Epic

[Description]: It has a strong self-repairing ability. Used with auxiliary materials, it can enhance the recovery ability of a pet beast.

Yi Xiaowei said, “I understand the situation with that little guy. These that I’ve picked out are basically for purely raising your base attributes. It shouldn’t trigger his evolution, but you still need to be careful when choosing supplementary materials.”

Bai Qi nodded. Even Combat System creatures were more or less imbued with some attribute energy, which was one of the reasons Bai Qi had asked Yi Xiaowei to make his selections.

Bai Qi, pointing at the six materials on the screen, said, “Get me each of these for now. If I need more later, I’ll contact you.”

The prices of Epic Materials were naturally high. Still, bolstered by the endorsement money and the core patents, Bai Qi’s account was just about able to handle it.

A mere twenty million or so was just pocket change…

As for the special series, they were basically Mythical Materials. They required towermaster’s approval, and one couldn’t buy them even with money, so Bai Qi had given up.

“Alright.”

Yi Xiaowei nodded, placed an order for Bai Qi, then pulled up a new interface, filled entirely with various potions.

There’s no potion that directly enhances Spirit Power as you mentioned. At most, there are temporary ones. Those have substantial side effects, which I wouldn’t really recommend. So, I’ve picked out some potions for you that enhance the effects of meditation.”

Yi Xiaowei pointed at a potion on the screen, saying, “However, it’s likely that you people taking part in the training camp don’t have much time to meditate. Therefore, I suggest you pick this Phantom Spirit Potion.”

“Just drink a bottle before sleep, and it’ll let you immerse yourself in a dreamland. The effect on enhancing Spirit Power is two to three times the usual meditation.”

Bai Qi’s eyes brightened at these words. Two to three times the meditation effect, combined with the bonus from the Evolution Egg over-exercising his physique, he could reach the Four Stage in no time.

“However, you can’t drink this too frequently. Otherwise, the potion effect could easily lead to hallucinations and cause some damage to your body.” Hearing Yi Xiaowei’s words, the smile on Bai Qi’s face froze. He suspiciously looked at the Phantom Spirit Potion, “Are you sure this isn’t some sort of banned drug?”

Could it cause hallucinations and harm the body? Wouldn’t he be arrested for drinking this potion?

Yi Xiaowei laughed at his question, immediately explaining, “Haha… indeed the name seems a bit… however, don’t worry. The Phantom Spirit Potion is made from Dream Vine flower powder. It merely induces dreamland, not a hallucinogenic drug.”

You make it sound even weirder…

Bai Qi silently complained internally, but he still followed Yi Xiaowei’s advice and bought one to test first.

Yi Xiaowei paused, saying, “Actually, potions and such are not a long-term solution. If you want to enhance your Spirit Power over the long term, your best bet would be an artifact of the Spirit class.”

“Spirit class artifact?”

Hearing this, Bai Qi paused, then quickly understood.

He had only thought about enhancing his Spirit Power with potions and had completely forgotten about artifacts.

But I mainly handle materials. I’m not an expert in artifacts, and they’re not readily available. If you want one, I can help you keep an eye out.” Although the Holy Relic Tower managed both resources and artifacts, they had different departments.

“That would be much appreciated.”

This type of enhancing potion was not like God’s Water, a supplement that you could use a lot of without developing tolerance. If he could have an artifact with similar effects, it would naturally be the best.

Perhaps, it might also help with Rune Tier 2 Evolution.

Because it happened within the Holy Relic Tower, Bai Qi’s ordered items were delivered quickly. Impatient to go back and try them, he didn’t stay long. After asking Yi Xiaowei about precautions, he quickly left.

“Bai Qi? What are you doing here?”

Xiao Yuan, who had just entered through the door, saw Bai Qi leaving in a hurry and asked curiously.

“Buying some materials.”

Bai Qi looked up and saw it was Xiao Yuan, which was also unexpected. He said,

“Xiao Yuan, are you also here to buy materials?”

Xiao Yuan nodded, “The first month’s test scores are out. I plan to exchange some for resources to enhance my pet beast.”

“The scores are out?”

Bai Qi was startled and asked, “Aren’t you planning on saving your points for Mythical Resources?”

Xiao Yuan couldn’t help but laugh, “You really don’t know anything, do you?” At Xiao Yuan’s words, Bai Qi was increasingly bemused, while Xiao Yuan didn’t bother explaining. He simply brought up the score ranking from the first test. “Aside from you, the highest score among us is about tok points. Clearly, it is not practical to try to accumulate enough points for Mythical Resources. It’s more sensible to struggle for rank.”

Moreover, comparatively, I prefer to prioritize exchanging resources to enhance the strength of my pet beast. Although the progress is slower, it’s safer.”

Understanding dawned on Bai Qi. This was very fitting with Xiao Yuan’s consistent style – steadiness. After all, even if you got Mythical Resources, it wasn’t easy to use them.

Different pet beasts needed different evolution recipes, and the supplementary materials needed would not be ordinary. Even if one exchanged for them, they could not quickly manifest fighting power.

“A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.”
