Legendary race

Ye Chen said, "What do you think? Do you really believe she has good intentions? But that doesn't matter; after all, we have obtained concrete benefits. Even if there are issues, what does it matter?"

The Alchemist nodded, indicating understanding.

Ten minutes later, Bai Yu stopped.

Before them was a Golden Lake, as calm as a mirror.

The group arrived at the lakeshore and came to a stop.

"Your Excellency Bai Yu?"

Ye Chen cast an inquiring look.

Bai Yu smiled and said, "This is the Golden Lake."

After saying this, Bai Yu looked at Ye Chen with a profound smile.

Ye Chen understood that Bai Yu was keeping them in suspense.

"Big Sister Bai Yu? Is there anything special about this Golden Lake?" Dark Ji asked.

"This is the source of our Golden Qi increase. Go in and try it, and you will know."

Dark Ji looked toward the Golden Lake, finally took a deep breath, and slowly walked inside.

Upon entering the lake, the golden water slowly submerged Dark Ji.

Suddenly, streams of Golden Qi surged toward Dark Ji.

Although these streams of Golden Qi were relatively small, there were simply so many of them.

"This is Golden Qi. It can significantly improve the quality of a pet's Metal attribute and grant it immense power."

Bai Yu waved her hand gently, and a surge of majestic Golden Qi appeared.

Suddenly.

[Dark Ji] Rank: LV64. Stage: Mature. Skill: Slash. Innate Skill: Ghostly Eight-Hit Combo: Dark Ji enters a ghostly state, speed increased by 200%. Within one second, she performs eight consecutive strikes against the same target, damage reduced by 20%. The Eight-Hit Combo can be used once every 600 seconds, and the ghostly state lasts 120 seconds. Talent Awakening: Flaw: Every 3 seconds, Dark Ji discovers a Flaw in the enemy. When dealing damage, she ignores the opponent's defense and deals true damage. Attribute: Metal. Grade: Genesis (Rank 9). Talent: Sword Control Technique (Awakened). Divine Artifact: Lie Tian Spear. Combat Power: 194,500 (20% additional increase). HP: 1,950,000. EXP: 300,000 / 5,100,000.

Dark Ji leveled up abruptly.

Ye Chen said, somewhat surprised, "This actually provides EXP?"

Bai Yu nodded, "It should be. It provides us with promotion energy, so for your pets, it must provide EXP."

"Is this how Your Excellency Bai Yu leveled up?"

"Yes, but it is limited. If it could provide it infinitely, I would just soak in it and never come out. It only provided three Ranks; after three Ranks, the Golden Qi was full."

Ye Chen nodded. He did not feel disappointed in his heart; thinking about it, it made sense—how could it provide it indefinitely?

"Can the Alchemists use this thing?"

Bai Yu shook her head, "No, only creatures with the Metal attribute can use it."

"That's a bit of a pity."

It would be great if all creatures could use it; that way, Ye Chen could also choose to take a soak.

"Hmm? That's not right. As a Pet Master, having a pet like Dark Ji, logically speaking, it should work."

Thinking of this, Ye Chen put one hand into it.

As a result, there was absolutely no reaction, so Ye Chen gave up.

Ye Chen stood on the shore, watching Dark Ji.

"Let's rest for a while. It will probably take another day or two," Bai Yu said, sitting down on a golden stone to the side.

Ye Chen also sat down to the side.

Two hours later, Gun Gun ran over.

Arriving beside Ye Chen, it was still chewing on something in its mouth.

"Boss, I'm back."

"How did it go?"

Gun Gun wiped its mouth, placed one hand on Ye Chen's shoulder, looked at Dark Ji with its big eyes, and said, "I ate everything. There was something that wanted to attack me, so I had a fight with it. In the end, neither of us could do anything to the other, so I cursed it away. The old thing even snatched one of my things to eat! If I had attack power, I would definitely beat it to death!"

Honestly, if Gun Gun had even ten thousand attack power, it would definitely have killed that guy, but unfortunately, Gun Gun did not.

Gun Gun looked at the Golden Lake, suddenly widened its eyes, and walked over without looking back.

Arriving at the lakeshore, it jumped straight in.

A miraculous thing happened; the Golden Qi in the lake was continuously drifting into Gun Gun's body.

Gun Gun dove headfirst into the lake and took a big gulp.

Seeing this scene, Bai Yu widened her eyes, looked at Ye Chen, and said, "Ye Chen, expand your pet's information. Let me see what is going on!"

Ye Chen only opened Gun Gun's Rank and Grade; the rest of the information was not expanded.

Just as he was preparing to open Gun Gun's information, Bai Yu said, "Forget it, I'll do it myself!"

Bai Yu pressed two fingers together and swept them across her eyes. A strange blue light flashed in her pupils, and Gun Gun's information appeared before her.

[Iron-Eating Beast. Gun Gun] Rank: LV57. Grade: Rank 9 Genesis. Attribute: Mixed (contains multiple attributes). Skill: Rock Solid. Divine Artifact: None. Talent: Fatal Strike (When attacking an enemy, there is a 0.001% chance to instantly kill the enemy). Talent Awakening: Treasure Perception: Gun Gun has an obvious perception System for all treasures; no treasure can escape Gun Gun's perception. Perception range: five kilometers. Combat Power: 1. HP: ∞.

After seeing Gun Gun's information, Bai Yu's pupils shook, and she muttered to herself, "Mixed attribute! How is this possible? Every creature only has one attribute. How can this Gun Gun contain multiple attributes? This is impossible!"

Bai Yu's heart was filled with shock, and she spoke in disbelief.

Suddenly, Bai Yu paused, having thought of something. The way she looked at Gun Gun suddenly changed, and her pupils were filled with incredulity.

Immediately, her shocked expression changed into a smile, and Bai Yu looked very happy.

"Big Sister, what's wrong? Why are you smiling so happily?"

Bai Yu glanced at Qing Yu, and Qing Yu immediately closed her mouth tactfully, not saying another word.

Ye Chen noticed that something was wrong with Bai Yu and asked, "Your Excellency Bai Yu, is there something amiss?"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Nothing at all. I just feel that your pet is too special. It's my first time seeing a creature with a Mixed attribute, so I was just a bit surprised."

Whether it was her expression or her tone, there was nothing amiss.

Ye Chen did not take it to heart.

Sitting there, Ye Chen watched Dark Ji in the lake quietly.

Dark Ji was soaking in the lake, with her head exposed, her eyes slightly closed, quietly feeling the dense Golden Qi.

Qing Yu sat to the side and whispered to Bai Yu, "Big Sister, what's going on? What's the situation with that Gun Gun?"

Bai Yu glanced at Ye Chen and discovered that Ye Chen was not looking their way, so she whispered to Qing Yu, "Qing Yu, do you remember a legend we once heard?"

"A legend? What legend?" Qing Yu widened her eyes and asked, looking puzzled.

"The one we talk about often, the one with a legendary race inside," Bai Yu said sternly.

Qing Yu nodded, "I know. Could it be this little thing?"

"Yes, it is very likely that legendary race!"

"Ah!" Qing Yu let out a scream, "Isn't that race just a legend? Isn't it always told as a story and passed down as a story? Could it be real?"

"I didn't believe it either, but the situation before us forces me to believe it's real!" Bai Yu said, staring fixedly at Gun Gun.
