Chapter 756 756: Satisfactory Technology
"So... did it work?"
After Li Mubai asked the question, he didn't feel like a fool. If he hadn't failed, he wouldn't have succeeded. But Li Qing's ignorance toward this expression made them all feel foolish. Shouldn't he be happy about succeeding? Why is he brooding? On the contrary, why does he feel so sorrowful? Egg pain?
"Ah!" Li muttered softly, "Sin!"
The Beast Egg mutated, but wouldn't it be better if it were defeated? Li Xiaosheng spoke lazily. Would this beast move?
Let me show you the sea in my mind, simply because I know the sea is fractured, the palace exists within the ocean. How big can your mind be, or do you wish to become an architect?
Listening to the whispers from "winter" carried over the sea, feeling the ache in his head, Li Tianren gently massaged his temples, as Li Qingyu said, "Come on, I'll take you to choose a skill!"
"How could this be possible?"
Li Mingtong was also suffering unbearable pain. "How would I even know! I should focus on choosing a skill with my elder brother first!"
During a reunion meal, Li Qingyu managed to overturn everyone's image of him in the palace. His three cowardly sons had all witnessed it.
At this moment, the only one dozing off inside the Scripture Pavilion was Wu Laochang. The people from the Great Mansion had long gotten used to him. Some even privately speculated that Wu Lao might not actually be old...
Wu Lao was the only one who understood the Spirit Realm, so Li Qingyu reasoned that Wu Laozhen's laziness was beyond reproach.
By day, Wu Lao went from "day-traveling" to "night-traveling," continuously tinkering with his car. However, he was shaped like a doorframe and had peculiar eyes.
Although nobody really understood him, nor dared to disrespect him, anyone who did look down on Wu Lao was inevitably pummeled by him... It was still irrational...
"Master!" Li Xiaosheng addressed the elder respectfully.
Hearing Li Qingyu's voice, Wu Lao opened his eyes, looked at Li Qingyu, and said, "What happened at the family banquet? I've heard snippets of some things, are you doing well?"
Li Qingyu recounted what had happened in the previous two days. Wu Lao asked, "With martial arts progressing so quickly, I presume your achievements speak for themselves!"
Group of hearts! Master.
Li Qingyu couldn't stand still alone. How could one say: Master, I've become a monster, complete with Beast Eggs, yet nobody knows of the ocean?
Who would believe that?
"Teacher, perhaps now is the moment for us to have a private conversation. I've got something urgent to ask you. Otherwise, do I even possess the right skill that could first accommodate my two brothers' needs?"
All the respect and courtesy.
These names were lifted from Li Mubai and Li Mingtong. Their sharp gazes carried a sense of injury.
This doesn't mean that when we reached out to seize the image, those two skills directly leapt forth.
"Where to? Quickly, go grab them!"
Li Qingyu inwardly felt more humiliated by the two individuals than himself. You don't know this area's cultivation paths? Just surprised at the results?
In fact, even if these two people were less in tune with the world, it wouldn't be surprising given the rarity of what Li Qingyu currently experienced.
Upon hearing Li Xiaoyu's warning, the others jolted awake and apologized repeatedly. They couldn't help but laugh at the strange skills they had inherited. These two methods—one derived from Huang Jiechang, the Tongbei Fist of Li Mubai, and the Three Ape Transformations of Li Miaotong—had shifted entirely into spiritual forms. The former held massive gravitational force, while the latter emphasized adaptability, which could prove cruel for the Great Mansion.
Acquiring satisfactory techniques.
Observing Wu Lao's peculiar gaze, Li Qingyu felt intense unease and immediately explained, "Master, I understand the sea isn't completely irreparable. But transforming into an unknown monster while absorbing it is another matter entirely..."
Can you assimilate monsters and beasts from the sea? Like this bull?
Wu Lao plunged into deep thought about the vast expanse of Guanglu Meng's lands. The continent was mostly occupied by living beings in only a limited portion.
Monks continually pursued dreams of exploration, but the so-called "Continent Expeditions" incited dread due to their confrontation with unknown truths. It felt as though the continent stretched infinitely, brimming with unknowns and an unsettling mix of spirit and temperament.
Although Wu Lao could confidently attest he hadn't seen such a unique beast in textual records, he hesitated to declare its non-existence outright.
Li Qingyu seemed to interrogate Wu Professor when suddenly he retrieved a ring of knowledge from the heavens and said, "Master, this is the permission for the Devil Egg!"
As Wu Lao inspected it, his eyebrows rose involuntarily. "Is this egg destined to become some future monster or beast of yours?"
This morning, Li Qingyu had gone to Baoge. As he described events, Wu Lao's expression shifted noticeably.
"If what you're saying holds true, then this is no ordinary monster egg. It could very well be the base of a Monster Queen!"
Both Li Qingyu and Wu Lao were dumbfounded. At that moment, a white figure suddenly emerged in Li Qingyu's sea of consciousness. A young man appeared aloft in the air. But as their eyes lit up, the individual swiftly intensified his presence. Claimed the egg of devil and beast in hand, then shoved it into his mouth. Only then did the sea securely return to Li Qingyu's comprehension.
Professor Li: "..."
Wu Lao: "..."
The two disciples widened their eyes, while Wu carefully commented, "Really nothing?"
On the one hand, Li Qingyu nodded with a sore smile. "No!" The god entered the realm of awareness, witnessing the young monster hiccup before stirring further.
Li Xiaosheng remarked, half-crying, half-laughing: "So when I was hungry, it just stepped out for a meal?"
What was this? A pitfall of what? Their hearts bled anew, another Beast Egg—ah!
And yet, the method to generate these small creatures was undeniably promising. This was no ordinary chance. The palace had already been partly populated with beasts. This shift heralded a new phenomenon in production practices.
Li Qingyu remained deep in thought, resolving not to squander his fortune on cultivating these little beings' abilities. After all, his sense of joy stemmed from their rebirth, etched profoundly into the fabric of his soul. He always believed in his consented endeavors, yet he continued managing resources within the political sphere.
Indeed, this auction had greatly inspired Li Qingyu. Why was it that Zhao Wuji and Li Zanfeng always had tens of thousands of stones at their disposal, while he struggled to obtain even a thousand?
He couldn't resign to accept this!
His tiny beasts, akin to bottomless pitfalls centered around passageways devoid of guilt, nonetheless struck at the core of undeniable truth.
And yet, this small beast could sense its own cries, adding insult to injury with its very presence staining the egg.
Curiosity persisted: did the Royal Beast House's shared opinions align with mutual demise? If these individuals declared immunity to the toxicity of avian spirits.
"Does this monster mind agree with yours?" Wu Lao asked again.
Li Xiaosheng's jaw was tense. "Master, are you serious about what you just said?"
"Uh… that…" At this moment, even Wu Lao appeared disoriented. After all, the Demon Queen was far from reliable.
Hold on. Wu Lao suddenly shifted course. In Li Qingyu's philosophical dilemmas, confusion reigned supreme. "Did you just enter the ocean of consciousness again?"
"Yes, indeed. Into the depths of the sea. What's wrong?"
What's wrong, no matter its immense scale?
Wu Lao cautiously explained, "This isn't a bizarre beast in its actual form but a unique covenant with its owner. It promises to exist tattooed within, while all other monsters are born externally! I will!"
Such was the nature of this system. No one spoke much of it. Li Qingyu grasped the concept of tiny creatures addressing general problems within the ocean. Thus, a laugh.
Now, Li Qingyu increasingly recognized himself indistinctly as one of those small beasts—but even more unreliably, as something truly rare within the monstrous animal kingdom. It would inevitably emerge as a landslide phenomenon amid the world's beasts and monsters.
