Chapter 133: Chapter 49 What Exactly Should Be Taken Away?

The penultimate evening before the end of the instance

Bai Yi was still leisurely watering plants in her residence, occasionally sprinkling some freshly ground Crystal Rice fragments as fertilizer as if everything happening outside had nothing to do with her.

Zhuchen had already formally declared surrender, and Bai Yi did not truly take action against the various cities within Zhuchen’s territory, except for blocking communications, using it as one of many Intimidation conditions to force Zhuchen into submission.

Of course, this was also a result of discussions within the Insect Swarm.

What Bai Yi wanted was Zhuchen’s entire industry, not just one set of facilities.

Just one set of machinery would be lifeless when taken back; more importantly, the real treasure was those skilled workers.

Once all of them are Parasitized by the Facehugger, these workers could be perfectly transformed into the labor force for her territory.

Beyond that, it was necessary for Yin Hai to personally craft several Extraordinary Relics that they could not currently use into weapons.

However, time was tight, and even after terms were agreed upon and Yin Hai started to work overtime, he could only process 3 relics with two days of non-stop effort.

The final choices were from Divine Fragments and relics harvested by Emilia, as well as another Divine Fragment related to Space from Hailan, from another country.

One of the former was for Bai Yi’s personal use, to serve as her standard equipment, amplifying her Genetic Fusion ability, and the other naturally was to be taken out for Zhan Yi.

After all, without a Transcendent Origin, it couldn’t even serve as a path for Zhan Yi’s advancement, and it could only be used as a makeshift weapon.

As for the Space-related relic, Bai Yi hoped it could bring Storage Space ability.

Bai Yi had already examined the relic and confirmed it had a similar ability; now she could only hope for Yin Hai’s craftsmanship to enlarge the Storage Space from the relic, to use as her own personal warehouse.

As for the other relics, the Level 6 relic that could gather the strength of allies from the Mind side was already being tested on a large scale within the Insect Swarm by Bai Yi, hoping to cultivate a powerful individual from it.

And for the one from the Sun Federation, Bai Yi intended to leave it for that Sunflower.

Ever since becoming a Sunsinger, that Sunflower seemed to have unlocked some special hobby, humming softly every now and then.

That was already with restrictions set by Bai Yi, to prevent it from attracting too much attention from the maids and allowing it to sing softly, and even then, using her own voice.

At least in this way, if the maids heard it, they could guess that Bai Yi was in a good mood.

And the rest was just a Level 6 Transcendent from the Sicily Islands, controlled by a Parasite, with an ability towards controlling earth and ocean, or rather, a type of psychokinesis.

As for the remaining, Bai Yi could only treat them as a temporary buff providing items, occasionally taking advantage of them, like the upper-level relic from a Transcendent profession related to the power source of Gathering Spirit Grass which Bai Yi quite liked.

It could bring a constant Magic Power regeneration to Bai Yi, which she had already started using these days, with the only downside being the negative effects that were not easy to resolve, planning to hand it over to You, namely the giant banyan, to try after returning.

Starting from Low-tier Fusion, given You’s body size, the risk was very low.

Besides the Transcendent side, there wasn’t much else to take.

It wasn’t that Bai Yi didn’t want more, but what she could take was really limited.

The industrial machines were larger than expected, and with that pile of Crystal Rice and some of the Insect Swarm and Plant soldiers that needed to be taken away, Ju’s storage capacity was already at its limit.

Otherwise, Bai Yi had even planned to take over Zhuchen’s entire library, which was a pity.

Now she could only hope what kind of shape that Space aspect Divine Fragment could be crafted into by Yin Hai; if she could get a sizeable space, she could take more with her.

After all, it’s an item on the same level as Ju! Better show some strength!

As for whether Zhuchen would not agree...

In fact, once Shang Ji delivered the opportunity for negotiations to Zhuchen, they were already out of options.

Having not fallen into despair despite the frontline collapse and national conquest was already a very strong display.

After all, Bai Yi had already offered an escape route in advance, promising that as long as they cooperated, then Zhuchen could be preserved.

And once people have an escape plan, many of their past steadfastness lose their foundation.

Now a day has passed, and the outside of the Imperial Palace has become completely busy, so "Zhuchen’s Bai Yi" was rarely forgotten on the side.

As for when "Insect Swarm’s Bai Yi" will make an appearance, Bai Yi planned to leave it until before departing from the instance.

She did not like attracting too much attention; revealing her identity too soon would definitely bring too many unwanted gazes.

After being busy for so many days, Bai Yi decided to relax before leaving the instance. She took care of the tender and lovely (one alone could kill a person) flowers and herbs, simultaneously advancing her transcendent profession.

These past few days, she frequently used her abilities to stimulate plant growth and cultivation. Her capabilities as a Botanist had almost been completely mastered.

Advancing to a Pharmacist required a ritual that involved using the abilities of a Botanist to stimulate the growth and cultivation of at least three but no more than nine transcendent plants, and extracting parts from them.

Then, integrate those parts into boiling liquid, alongside a relic or Divine Fragment, and simmer them together. After completion, one must drink some of the potion.

As for transcendent plants, Bai Yi had no shortage. Not just nine, Bai Yi could even pick out hundreds of transcendent plants.

The other steps of the ritual also didn’t require manpower or resources, so there was no need to disturb Zhuchen, who was still busy arranging for machinery and manpower for her. This way, they wouldn’t be reminded of the "Zhuchen’s Bai Yi."

"Based on previous experiences, the items used in the ritual are probably connected to the abilities one gains upon advancing."

However, before the Butcher, the boosts on her were not evident due to her inherently high level.

At the Botanist stage, her ritual required her to personally cultivate a transcendent plant and then sleep with the relic or Divine Fragment beside the plant.

At that time, Bai Yi chose to embrace a small branch and lie down in the yard for a nap.

Upon waking, she had already successfully advanced and gained an additional level of Accelerated Growth as a skill, which, combined with the small branch, provided a total of 6 levels of extra boost.

The transcendent plants needed this time were no exception.

However, with a maximum limit of only nine plants, Bai Yi did not deliberately challenge the limits of the ritual to use dozens of transcendent plants; she chose the nine most powerful from her collection of transcendent plants.

For instance, there was the level 5 transcendent Sunflower, and also the Peach Tree that provided a strengthened version of the Gathering Spirit Entry and had already reached level 4 transcendent.

As required by the ritual, she either dried or crushed them, dropping their respective parts into the large pot.

Yes, a large pot!

Bai Yi was still not accustomed to using those very delicate-looking beakers and test tubes. If it wasn’t for the ritual’s demands, Bai Yi even felt like sprinkling some salt, scallions, and soy sauce into the mix.

The last bit of chopped Sunflower Seeds fell into the pot, and Bai Yi took the branch beside her and threw it in as well.

The ladle stirred through the liquid, which gradually turned a deep red influenced by the various plant pigments. When Bai Yi began to crave the "Potion" in the pot, she knew it was successful.

Fortunately, the ritual did not require drinking the whole pot; there was no way she could finish such a large quantity...

Bai Yi muttered in her heart and served herself a bowl.

Hmm...

The taste was actually surprisingly good. Perhaps because she hadn’t had the opportunity to freely add seasoning, it was not bad.

As the liquid flowed into her stomach, Bai Yi felt the change in the transcendent power within her.

Her brain was flooded with pharmaceutical knowledge, much more detailed than what came with using the branch, including precautions for various potions, material processing details, and so on.

Now Bai Yi could enhance the positive effects of potions and diminish the negative effects even without using the branch, utilizing her Magic Power.

As part of the advancement ritual, that pot of potion became Bai Yi’s signature potion. Due to its variety of different transcendent plants, the overall enhancement of the potion was substantial.

This advancement also brought Bai Yi a significant increase in "Spiritual Power." Surprisingly, this and the Magic Power consumed by her superpower were classified separately, adding a new Spiritual Power bar to Bai Yi.

The panel updated like it did before when she changed professions, bluntly converting Extraordinary Abilities into locked levels of Passive Talents or Skills. The Spirit Power Value also simply became another numerical data, displaying an additional bar below the Magic Power Value, both capped at two thousand.

Pure attribute enhancements, after the Botanist stage, had vanished, but considering the branch’s abilities, Bai Yi guessed there would be a terrifying boost in the next advancement.

However, the next advancement required Bai Yi to leverage the power of the forest. As the power of a Pharmacist also needed to be familiarized with her body for better fusion before advancing, it could only take place in her territory.

By then, she would be able to surpass the panel’s restrictions and become a weaker Level 5 Combat Power ahead of time.

Once the transcendent power within her body stabilized initially, Bai Yi couldn’t wait to test her transcendent abilities with the iron pot in front of her.

Time quickly moved forward to two days later.
