Chapter 111: Chapter 27 Prelude to War (Extra Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

"It has finally succeeded..."

On the eighth attempt, the relic finally fused into the extraordinary plant Bai Yi desired.

[Flame Sunflower: A sunflower that has acquired the ability to channel flames, learned to "launch" its seeds, any creature attempting to approach will face a close-range barrage of sunflower seeds!]

Apart from five plants that couldn’t withstand the enhancement of the extraordinary relic and died, the remaining two plants didn’t obtain the genes Bai Yi wanted, and didn’t fully inherit the ability of the flames from the relic.

Only one Fire Element Affinity was harvested.

Until this sunflower finally brought good news.

[You used Skill Gene Extraction, the current target possesses extractable genes: Fire Resistance, Fire Element Affinity, Woodification Muscle.]

Without thinking, Bai Yi extracted the two new genes.

The former, as its name suggests, grants a certain degree of resistance to flames, while the latter is similar to activation, allowing the plant to have some structures akin to biological muscles.

Bai Yi called out a needle erosion insect, to fuse the gene for Fire Resistance, the magic power value required was unexpectedly high, a full 800 points.

Having just extracted genes, Bai Yi currently had less than three hundred points left, and it was already nearing dusk. He needed to reserve magic power for his own fusion with the magic power core gene later, so it had to wait until tomorrow.

After dinner, Bai Yi received a notification from the maid Niaoniao that the extraordinary plant she needed had arrived in Taian and could be delivered by tomorrow at the latest.

Fortunately, Bai Yi wasn’t in a hurry, he was still preparing for the upgrade of the needle erosion insect, even if received, it couldn’t be processed immediately, so he asked for it to be sent by tomorrow noon.

Confirming with the maid that there would be no visitors tonight, Bai Yi went back into the kitchen.

Although five plants had died, their remains still bore some extraordinary traces, so Bai Yi thought he might be able to make some potions out of them.

Following his intuition, he processed all the materials and tossed them into a pot. Less than an hour later, a pot of potion was freshly brewed.

As an experimental failure product, the potion couldn’t be replicated due to the unique materials used.

Moreover, since the plants were catalyzed by the same extraordinary relic, the passive ability from the added branches enhanced the potion’s effects.

In the end, the potion even had some extraordinary effects, granting the ability to control flames for a certain period and a spell to strengthen oneself upon use.

As for the taste...

Bai Yi could only say he tried his best...

As this potion couldn’t be replicated, Bai Yi decided not to give it to Yin Hai, its best destination should be Bai Sheng and Bai Fa.

Asking the maid to prepare a few more bottles to store the potion, Bai Yi had Ju put them away to deliver to Bai Sheng next time.

After tidying up, the magic power had almost recovered.

......

The next day, Taichen Palace

A group of priests from the Church Court in pure white robes performed a ritual and left, leaving Zhu Gang and a few close ministers. After a while, Zhu Gang asked:

"Minister Yin, what do you think about the news from the Church Court?"

"Minister, I find something odd. Emilia has always been known for its savagery, while our transcendents require sufficient knowledge to transform it into corresponding power.

Even if they found a suitable Qualifier by obtaining the corresponding Divine Fragment, Emilia lacks the necessary accumulation to nurture the kind of power the envoy mentioned.

Therefore, minister suspects that Emilia’s Transcendent Origin might actually belong to the Church Court.

In recent years, Emilia’s Mad Lion Tribe and the Church Court frequently clash, each possessing Divine Fragments. It’s not impossible that Emilia stumbled upon a Qualifier."

"So, Minister Yin suggests we refuse?"

"No, quite the opposite, minister believes we should agree.

Regardless of the truth, this presents a good reason to unite with the Church Court and gradually erode Emilia.

Moreover, coincidentally, we also gained Emilia’s Transcendent Origin.

If we can collect more corresponding relics, we can cultivate ’Beastmen’ or even ’Dragon Men.’

We might even form a special transcendent force disguised as Emilia’s troops to harass and attack the Church Court.

Ha, just yesterday, the ritual of the [Butcher] was obtained. Isn’t one of our trained individuals already secretly promoted to [Farmer]?

Choosing outstanding ones to further promote them, this transcendent force will look formidable."

Facing Yin Hai, standing on the other side, a heroic man stepped forward and cupped his fists:

"Minister agrees with Scribe Yin’s reasoning, by employing this strategy, not only can we gain substantial benefits from Emilia but also suppress the Church Court.

If this plan succeeds, Zhuchen shall stand invincible."

Zhu Gang, sitting on the long chair, pondered for a moment before making a bold decision:

"I approve, now, who can command this force?"

General Huo quickly responded: "My son can take on this role!

Just the day before yesterday, my son successfully promoted to [Farmer], and having trained diligently these two days, he can promote to [Butcher] at any time to lead this army."

"Approved, but for confidentiality, this force must not use Zhuchen’s current armed forces."

"Minister has another request, I heard that Miss Bai can research potions, minister hopes to obtain a potion from her."

......

"General Huo? Potion?"

Bai Yi contemplated upon hearing the maid’s message.

So quickly, his reputation spread, and someone came requesting a potion?

Given the emperor’s permission, Bai Yi couldn’t refuse, so he headed to the front courtyard to meet with General Huo.

Knowing Bai Yi had a contract and was trustworthy, General Huo didn’t hide much, revealing the existence of the transcendent army to Bai Yi.

Finally, he stated his purpose——a potion to speed up recovery from injuries and fatigue.

From this, Bai Yi gleaned one piece of information, Zhuchen was preparing for war!

This meant that the development time left for Bai Sheng and Bai Fa was short.

Bai Yi felt the urgency to inform them immediately!

As for the potion, naturally, he would delay as much as possible to buy more time for Bai Sheng and Bai Fa.

"General Huo, you know that potion research takes time, since you urgently need it, I will start immediately and give you a result as soon as possible."

General Huo was not dissatisfied with this answer, fully aware from his experience with Zhuchen Court requests that such things can’t be rushed.

Seeing Bai Yi so committed, General Huo was quite pleased.

He bid farewell without further disturbance.

Back in his courtyard, Ju the orange cat curiously played with a Mang Grass plant in a flower pot.

Delivered in the morning, this extraordinary plant named White Mang Grass successfully provided Bai Yi with an extraordinary gene, Space Attachment.

Combined with its Space Element Affinity, it granted the needle erosion insect’s wings and limbs effects similar to Space Blades.

Though Bai Yi intended to continue fusing new genes to the insect swarm, given the situation, they had to be deployed into battle ahead of schedule.

"Taking this last opportunity to fuse you with a new gene,"

Bai Yi focused on the panel, staring intently at one word——Split Breeding.

[Current gene matches target well, fusion requires 1200 magic power value, proceed with fusion?]
