Chapter 44 - The Grade of the Material, Diamond-Level Resources!
In other words, if Bai Zian used the awakening origin stone to help his family awaken a new talent, he won’t be able to awaken a second talent for himself anytime soon.
As for the reason behind this, Bai Zian could more or less guess.
Perhaps the use of the awakening origin stone requires time to accumulate energy.
However, this period was simply too long for Bai Zian.
A year from now, who knows what the world will be like?
It’s best to convert the resources in hand into his own strength as soon as possible.
This is the safest course of action.
Thinking this through, Bai Zian had already made up his mind.
This time, he had to be selfish and keep the awakening origin stone for himself.
However, if he grew strong enough in the future and had the opportunity to obtain a second awakening origin stone, he would gladly use it for his family.
“But, the materials needed to make the awakening origin liquid seem quite rare.”
Bai Zian muttered to himself, pondering the materials required to create the awakening origin liquid.
The other materials were easier to obtain, but the Nixia Mystic Leaf, Qingyun Dew, and Tianyuan Tears seemed to be particularly rare.
Based on the level of spiritual beasts, these materials were at least of the Diamond grade.
Yes, resources and materials are also categorized by grades.
The ranking of materials corresponded to the levels of spiritual beasts.
After all, many special resources or materials come from spiritual beasts.
Judging the grade of materials based on the strength of spiritual beasts was the best method.
As for the awakening origin stone in Bai Zian’s possession, it was at least above the King level, perhaps even at the Epic level.
Back to the Nixia Mystic Leaf, Qingyun Dew, and Tianyuan Tears.
Of the three treasures, Bai Zian only knew the whereabouts of one.
That was the Nixia Mystic Leaf.
If Bai Zian remembered correctly, his grandfather Bai Jingchong seemed to possess one Nixia Mystic Leaf.
Of course, given the value of a Diamond-level material, Bai Jingchong naturally wouldn’t leave it in the City Lord’s mansion but would carry it with him.
As for how Bai Zian knew about this, it had to do with his [Eye of Revelation].
When Bai Zian successfully awakened the [Eye of Revelation] during the awakening ceremony, he was extremely curious about its abilities.
So, during the ceremony, Bai Zian kept using the [Eye of Revelation].
It could be said that almost everyone present at the time was scanned by Bai Zian.
Bai Jingchong was no exception.
It was then that Bai Zian discovered that Bai Jingchong carried some valuable resources with him.
This was normal.
Just like Bai Zian, who carried the mutated Candlefire Spider leader’s crystal core and the incomplete core of the King-level spirit beast, the Red Phoenix.
Bai Zian wouldn’t leave such precious treasures in the family treasury either. He carried them with him for safekeeping.
Similarly, among the treasures Bai Jingchong carried was the Nixia Mystic Leaf.
Given Bai Jingchong’s fondness for Bai Zian, he would undoubtedly agree if Bai Zian asked for it.
In other words, Bai Zian only needed to find the other two materials.
He just needed to locate the Qingyun Dew and Tianyuan Tears.
Once he had those, Bai Zian could move forward with awakening his second talent.
With this in mind, Bai Zian made his decision.
He then went to the office and approached Bai Jingchong.
“Grandfather, I need some rather special materials, including the Nixia Mystic Leaf, Qingyun Dew, and Tianyuan Tears. Could you help me collect them?”
Bai Zian went straight to Bai Jingchong and stated his needs.
Bai Zian knew very well that he couldn’t hide this matter from Bai Jingchong.
So, he simply told him directly and asked for his help in collecting the materials.
Of course, Bai Zian didn’t mention that Bai Jingchong already had the Nixia Mystic Leaf.
After all, he couldn’t explain how he knew, so he just added it to the list of materials.
“Xiao An, what do you need all these high-level materials for?”
Upon hearing Bai Zian’s request, Bai Jingchong was visibly surprised.
The other materials were valuable but not too difficult to obtain for the Bai family.
However, the three main materials were all Diamond-level, and acquiring them was no easy task.
Although Bai Jingchong had the Nixia Mystic Leaf, it was so precious that even he hesitated to use it lightly.
It wasn’t that Bai Jingchong was reluctant to give it to Bai Zian.
But given its significance, he needed to understand what Bai Zian intended to do with it before deciding whether to give it to him.
“I’ve been researching the evolution of the White-scaled Fish. Based on its previous evolution chain, I’ve had a new idea that I want to try, and these materials are needed for it.”
“I have a feeling that this time, I might be able to create an entirely new evolution chain for the White-scaled Fish.”
Bai Zian spoke without changing his expression, telling the lie without blinking.
The matter of the awakening origin stone was too special, and he couldn’t reveal it, so he used the White-scaled Fish as a cover.
He even invoked his ‘Mutated S-level Talent [Super Intuition].’
It had to be said that this was a perfect excuse.
Whenever there was an issue, he could just attribute it to the mutated S-level talent [Super Intuition], and it would always be accepted.
In fact, that was exactly what happened.
Hearing Bai Zian’s explanation, Bai Jingchong hesitated.
“Very well, I’ll help you this time.”
“However, when the White-scaled Fish evolves, I must be present to observe.”
Bai Jingchong thought for a moment and made up his mind.
He was very invested in Bai Zian’s growth and had high hopes for him, hoping that Bai Zian could achieve something he himself had not accomplished in his time.
Therefore, he rarely refused Bai Zian’s requests.
However, given the importance of this matter, he wanted to be present during the White-scaled Fish’s evolution to ensure nothing went wrong.
