28: Fog Beetle

[Race: Fire Poison Snake]

[Gender: Male]

[Aptitude: Fire and Poison attributes, Rank 3 limit]

[Talent: Fire Poison]

[Evolution Path: ...]

[Comprehensive Evaluation: Two stars, Contract not recommended]

A fire-attribute snake?

The moment Zhang Daobai saw it, he thought of the Flame Flood Dragon Bloodline he had extracted.

But after seeing the Fire Poison Snake's comprehensive evaluation, Zhang Daobai shook his head again. Its Aptitude was too low; it would only waste that Flame Flood Dragon Bloodline.

Afterward, Zhang Daobai browsed quickly, mainly checking the Aptitude and talents of these Yao Beasts.

As long as the limit was below Rank 4 and the talent was ordinary, Zhang Daobai would skip over it at a glance.

After quickly finishing with all the Yao Beast cubs, Zhang Daobai hadn't found a single suitable one.

So, Zhang Daobai turned his gaze toward the nearby Yao Beast Egg area.

In the Yao Beast Egg area, most were eggs of flying-type Yao Beasts. Their Aptitude and talents were just like the cubs, not very good.

However, a watermelon-sized purple Yao Beast egg with the best Aptitude and talent among them gave Zhang Daobai a surprise.

[Race: Purple Thunder Eagle]

[Gender: Female]

[Aptitude: Thunder attribute, Rank 5 limit]

[Talent: Thunder Control, Extreme Speed]

[Hidden Bloodline: Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Eagle (Trace)]

[Evolution Path: 1. Use Thunder Roar Grass, Purple Thunder Crystals, the essence blood of ten Rank 2 or higher Purple Thunder Eagles, and thunder liquid as primary ingredients, with Spirit Purifying Flowers as a supplement to refine a hatching liquid. This can trigger an initial Bloodline Awakening. 2...]

[Comprehensive Evaluation: Six stars, Contractable]

Although a six-star evaluation was still far inferior to Lin Luoxue, it was already considered very good.

If the Bloodline could be successfully awakened, perhaps the comprehensive evaluation could even rise.

“Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Eagle?”

Looking at the description of the hidden Bloodline, Zhang Daobai couldn't help but feel a bit excited.

The Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Eagle was an ancient exotic Yao Beast capable of wielding Purple Heaven Divine Thunder. In battle, it could summon thousands of bolts of Purple Heaven Divine Thunder like heavenly punishment to annihilate all things; in flight, it could transform into thunderous light and travel a thousand miles in an instant.

As for the cultivation limit, according to the records in the Miscellaneous Notes of Immortal Cultivation, the last Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Eagle to appear had already cultivated to Rank 7, equivalent to a Void Refining Cultivator.

Even though this Purple Thunder Eagle only contained a trace amount of the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Eagle Bloodline, as long as it was carefully nurtured, there was a chance to recreate the legend of the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Eagle.

Although Zhang Daobai was very satisfied with this Purple Thunder Eagle Egg, he didn't make a decision immediately.

Because there were still some Yao Beast eggs he hadn't checked yet—what if there was an even better one inside?

Thinking of this, Zhang Daobai immediately turned to look at the remaining Yao Beast eggs.

His gaze swept over them quickly, filled with anticipation. Soon, among these eggs, Zhang Daobai truly found a unique species.

[Race: Mist Concealing Worm (Worker)]

[Gender: Workers are genderless]

[Aptitude: Water attribute, Rank 1 limit]

[Talent: Spirit Bewildering Mist]

[Hidden Bloodline: Divine Concealment Bug (Faint)]

[Evolution Path: 1. Fuse one hundred Mist Concealing Worms to evolve into a Mist Concealing Soldier Worm. 2. Fuse ten thousand Mist Concealing Worms to evolve into a Mist Concealing King Worm...]

[Comprehensive Evaluation: Two stars, Contract not recommended]

There were two things about this Mist Concealing Worm egg that caught Zhang Daobai's attention: first, the Spirit Bewildering Mist talent, and second, the Divine Concealment Bug hidden Bloodline.

[Spirit Bewildering Mist: A white mist with the effect of shielding Divine Sense]

Shielding Divine Sense!

This effect alone couldn't help but make Zhang Daobai waver.

Divine Sense served as the third eye of an Immortal Cultivator, playing a massive role in both battle and daily cultivation.

But if a Cultivator was enveloped by Spirit Bewildering Mist, they would be no different from a blind person.

And if he covered himself with this Spirit Bewildering Mist, wouldn't it be like a fighter jet with a stealth coating, able to evade radar... that is, the scanning of Divine Sense?

For Zhang Daobai, who was determined to Cultivate steadily and safely, this effect was full of temptation.

And the hidden Bloodline, the Divine Concealment Bug, further indicated that this race had an extremely high ceiling.

Although Zhang Daobai had never heard of the Divine Concealment Bug, the information provided by the Eye of Appraisal was enough to show its extraordinary nature.

[Divine Concealment Bug: One of the ancient exotic insects, extremely skilled at hiding, undetectable except by those with special Divine Abilities.]

Although the Aptitude of this Mist Concealing Worm was too low, there were over a hundred such Mist Concealing Worm eggs here!

So, Zhang Daobai began searching through these Mist Concealing Worm eggs to see if he could find one with a higher Aptitude.

Most of these Mist Concealing Worm eggs were workers, the lowest variety of the Mist Concealing Worm race.

The next level up were the soldiers, but as for a king worm, he didn't see any in here.

Just as Zhang Daobai was about to be disappointed, an egg slightly smaller than the ordinary Mist Concealing Worm eggs suddenly caught his eye.

[Race: Mist Concealing Worm (Mother)]

[Gender: Female]

[Aptitude: Water attribute, Rank 4 limit]

[Talent: Spirit Bewildering Mist, God Devouring Mist]

[Hidden Bloodline: Divine Concealment Bug (Trace)]

[Evolution Path: 1. Fuse with Breath-Stopping Stone to evolve the Spirit Bewildering Mist talent into Spirit Concealing Mist. 2. Fuse with the Bloodline of a poison-attribute Yao Beast to add a poison attribute to the Spirit Bewildering Mist talent. 3...]

[Comprehensive Evaluation: Five stars, Contractable]

A Mist Concealing Worm Mother!

Seeing this, Zhang Daobai's eyes immediately lit up. As long as he had the mother, he effectively possessed an entire Mist Concealing Worm colony.

Furthermore, this Mist Concealing Worm Mother had one more talent than the ordinary Mist Concealing Worms: God Devouring Mist.

[God Devouring Mist: A white mist that can devour Divine Sense]

Divine Sense was related to the Soul. Once Divine Sense was damaged, at best a Cultivator would suffer a splitting headache, and at worst, they would fall into a coma.

Even though the Mist Concealing Worm Mother's comprehensive evaluation was only five stars, in Zhang Daobai's heart, he wanted to choose this Mist Hidden Insect Mother Egg over that Purple Thunder Eagle Egg.

“However, I don't necessarily have to give it up.”

Zhang Daobai suddenly thought of something and turned to look at that Purple Thunder Eagle Egg.

While Zhang Daobai couldn't Contract it himself, he could give it to Lin Luoxue to Contract.

As for the subsequent evolution paths, Zhang Daobai could try his best to pick a plan that didn't require the Spirit Fusion Contract Array.

Having made up his mind, Zhang Daobai raised his hand and called out to a nearby maid, “Excuse me, please come here for a moment.”

The nearby maid turned her head upon hearing him and then walked over quickly.

“How may I help you, guest?”

“How many Spirit Stones for this insect egg?”

Zhang Daobai asked her, pointing at the Mist Hidden Insect Mother Egg.

“This egg is a Mist Concealing Worm egg unique to the Misty Fog Valley. The white mist it exhales has the effect of isolating Divine Sense...”

Upon hearing the question, the maid hurriedly and enthusiastically began introducing the characteristics of the Mist Concealing Worm to Zhang Daobai.

“I know. Just tell me how many Spirit Stones it costs,” Zhang Daobai interrupted calmly, raising his hand.

After being interrupted, the maid didn't get angry but instead spoke with a smile. “Since the guest knows of the unique qualities of this Mist Concealing Worm, then you can surely understand the difficulty we faced in obtaining these eggs.”

“To obtain these eggs, our Myriad Beast Pavilion lost more than ten Cultivators, so its selling price is five thousand Spirit Stones!”
