153: Ways to speed up hatching
If it weren't for his rationality telling him that a rash attack on the Demon Clan and its allies would trigger a Cosmic War, the Mechanical Punk Clan would have probably already moved to attack them by now.
There would be no need to stay here and discuss so much with them.
"Since none of you have any objections, then I'll trouble everyone when the time comes."
Yang Jian nodded, very satisfied with the outcome of this meeting.
This way, his safety would be greatly enhanced.
At the very least, it could prevent death, which was for the best.
...
Blue Star.
This is Jianghai City.
Because he had received the Red Phoenix Egg from his maternal uncle, Yang Song, Li Yao was planning to find the Undead Nether Phoenix to help incubate the egg.
The Red Phoenix Egg is an egg of the Phoenix Clan.
And the Undead Nether Phoenix is also a Phoenix.
Most importantly, the Undead Nether Phoenix is female!
As a female bird, she should be able to incubate eggs, right?
Hmm, she should be.
"Ahem, no way, big nephew, you're actually asking me, a maiden, to incubate an egg?!"
Upon hearing Li Yao's words, the Undead Nether Phoenix was instantly shocked.
Don't look at her strength, which had already reached the Wild Grade Spirit Beast tier; in reality, among the Phoenix Clan, she was at most an unmarried maiden who had not yet reached adulthood, a young girl.
Now Li Yao came over with a large Phoenix Egg, asking her, a maiden, to incubate an egg.
This was a bit unreasonable, wasn't it?
Although her age was indeed much older than Li Yao's.
But among the Phoenix Clan, she was still just a child!
"Maiden?"
Li Yao was stunned; where did this maiden come from?
The age of this Undead Nether Phoenix was enough to be his great-grandmother's generation.
That someone who could be his great-grandmother was actually a maiden truly shocked him.
However, thinking about his mother's age and his father's age, Li Yao felt that, in a sense, the Undead Nether Phoenix could indeed be considered a maiden—well, only within the Phoenix Clan.
"Hmph! Of course!"
"Don't look at me being only over five hundred years old; among the Phoenix Clan, I haven't even reached adulthood yet!"
A Phoenix reaches adulthood at one thousand eight hundred years old.
Converted to human years, she was only five years old!
Li Yao's expression was quite surprised after understanding this.
No wonder Auntie Mingfeng, even when she transformed into human form, still looked like a child.
It turned out that among the Phoenix Clan, she really was a child.
Instantly, Li Yao didn't know why, but he only felt his father's immense guilt.
To actually make a child who was only five years old a mount!
It was truly too detestable!
However... even if she didn't incubate the egg, the Undead Nether Phoenix still possessed the Legacy from the Phoenix Clan.
So, asking the Undead Nether Phoenix was also an option.
"Auntie Mingfeng, do you have any way to speed up the incubation process of the Red Phoenix Egg?"
After all, Li Yao planned for his next Pet Beast to be this Red Phoenix.
If successful, he would have three Pet Beasts!
Moreover, the Red Phoenix is a Radiant-level Pet Beast.
Its potential is incredibly strong!
Normally, if it grew naturally, it would possess Cosmic Level strength.
Such talent, if placed among the Phoenix Clan, would be considered a rare Genius.
"Speed up the incubation process?"
The Undead Nether Phoenix's gaze fell upon the Red Phoenix Egg.
In her Legacy memories, the Red Phoenix Egg needed to be nurtured in a high-temperature environment for over a hundred years before it could hatch.
The greater the potential, the more time it required.
Looking at the current state of this Red Phoenix Egg, it would probably take a few more decades to hatch.
"If it's according to the normal incubation process, you would still need several decades to hatch this Red Phoenix Egg."
"Which means, if you don't plan to contract it, you can leave it for your son, or even your grandson, to contract."
The Undead Nether Phoenix replied seriously, because if calculated by humans becoming adults at eighteen and having children at eighteen, then by the time of the grandson, it would just be ready to hatch.
Moreover, the Red Phoenix Egg has very high requirements; it needs to be placed on magma for incubation, and the temperature of the magma needs to be two to three thousand degrees!
However, the higher the ambient temperature, the faster the Red Phoenix Egg's incubation process can be accelerated.
"Ahem, Auntie Mingfeng, are you serious?"
Li Yao was a bit shocked; this egg truly takes a long time to hatch.
"Of course I'm serious; after all, I am a Phoenix!"
Li Yao was a bit bewildered; if it hatched normally, wouldn't he have to wait decades before he could contract it?
How could this be!
Is there really no other way to speed up the incubation?
Decades, for transcendent races, isn't that long.
After all, they calculate adulthood in centuries.
Unlike humans, who calculate it in a mere eighteen years.
If that were truly the case, wouldn't this Red Phoenix Egg have to wait until his grandson was born before it could be contracted?
"Auntie Mingfeng, is there no other way?"
"There is!"
"I could help, but I don't know what the effect will be."
After all, the Undead Nether Phoenix herself possesses fire and can control the temperature of the flames to warm the Red Phoenix Egg.
This way, the incubation process of the Red Phoenix Egg can be accelerated.
"In that case, I'll leave it to you, Auntie Mingfeng."
Li Yao also sighed helplessly; there was no other way, he could only rely on this method.
He hoped it would be effective.
Besides this, Li Yao also made a phone call, asking Manager Wang to send a batch of energy stock solutions.
Energy stock solutions, once diluted, can be used to produce batches of energy potions.
Energy potions can replenish a person's missing energy in a short period of time.
In other words, one dose would be enough to fill one up.
Li Yao wanted to try and see if this energy stock solution would have any effect on the Red Phoenix Egg.
After handing the Red Phoenix Egg to the Undead Nether Phoenix, the Undead Nether Phoenix began to release herDark green (you lü se) Undead Nether Flames.
She had no intention of cooking the Red Phoenix Egg, but rather controlled the temperature of the flames to promote the Red Phoenix Egg's incubation process.
The Undead Nether Phoenix was also a bit surprised at the sight.
"I didn't expect this method to actually speed up incubation."
"However, big nephew, let me tell you, if it hatches according to this accelerated process, it's very likely that not all nutrients will be absorbed."
"When it hatches, its quality, which could have reached Radiant-level, might only be Legendary Level."
"You have to know how to make a choice."
If, due to accelerated progress, the quality of what hatches directly drops to Legendary Level, who wouldn't be confused by that?
