Chapter 90: Tier 2 Beast Egg
Inside the banquet hall.
Everyone looked at the beast eggs with burning desire.
"A spirit beast egg! If it's successfully cultivated, I can have a Qi Refining level spirit beast mount!" Huang Cheng said with anticipation.
"Hehe, let's start the selection of spirit beast eggs with my Li family's three newly promoted top-tier first-grade alchemists!"
Li Ruoyu stroked his beard and smiled.
He looked at Yang Jiuli, Liu Yuelong, and Huang Cheng.
At the same time, he gestured to Li Yourong to take them to select animal eggs and gave them guidance.
"Please, the three of you!" Li Yourong stood up and extended her jade-like hand to Yang Jiuli and the other two.
Liu Yuelong and Huang Cheng stood up, flattered.
Yang Jiuli also quickly stood up, bowed slightly to Li Yourong, and walked onto the wide platform in front.
The three of them arrived in front of the jade platform and looked at the spirit beast eggs in the jade boxes.
"This one has a good life force..." Liu Yuelong locked onto a beast egg.
Upon closer inspection, the jade box containing the animal eggs was marked with the words: Eagle Eggs!
"Not bad, eagle eggs can fly and can become a major fighting force in the future!" Liu Yuelong muttered to himself.
"I'll take this one!" Liu Yuelong said.
Beside him, a maid took out a jade box and handed it to Liu Yuelong.
"This beast egg is brimming with life force; it might be a second-tier beast egg... I want this one..." Huang Cheng also locked onto a beast egg he desired. It was a reptile-type beast egg, skilled in attack. If it was a second-tier spirit beast egg, he would have struck it rich!
A maid took out the jade box and handed it to Huang Cheng.
Next, Li Yourong looked at Yang Jiuli.
Yang Jiuli's gaze swept over the dozens of beast eggs.
Among them were several beast eggs brimming with life force.
It's not difficult to hatch successfully.
Based on my experience from my previous life, those were all first-tier beast eggs.
Even if they are trained, they can only reach the point of perfect Qi cultivation at best.
It would only be a waste of his time.
Finally, he located the center, an inconspicuous beast egg.
The animal egg was the size of two fists.
It's bigger than a goose egg.
The eggshell was as white as jade, and it looked anything but ordinary.
Unfortunately, the life force within the beast egg was very weak, making it seem unlikely to be successfully cultivated.
However, based on Yang Jiuli's divine sense, he could detect an extraordinary bloodline aura within the beast egg.
This must be a second-tier spirit beast egg.
It's even stronger.
It is only because the life force is weak that it is used as a prize.
Otherwise, why would the Li family be so generous?
The Fu family would not be so generous.
"I choose this one..." Yang Jiuli's eyes flickered as he locked onto the beast egg with a shell as white as jade.
"This one...?" Upon hearing this, Li Yourong frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist Yang, are you sure you want this one?"
She was giving a subtle reminder.
As a member of the Li family, she naturally knew that there were three beast eggs among them with extremely weak life force.
This was the case when it was delivered to the Fu family.
The Li family had intended to nourish it with the spiritual spring to restore its vitality, but they failed.
In the end, they had no choice but to use it as a prize.
She just couldn't say it openly, otherwise it would be considered a behind-the-scenes operation!
"This beast egg is destined for me, it's the one!" Yang Jiuli said with a smile.
He also discovered two other second-tier beast eggs.
However, judging from the bloodline aura within, the one he was currently looking at was clearly more appealing to him.
Furthermore, he also knew that beast eggs with weak life force were unlikely to hatch.
Having lived through several lifetimes, he clearly possesses far more experience in raising beasts than ordinary beast-taming families.
He is 60% confident that he can successfully hatch the current animal eggs.
"If that's the case, then congratulations, Fellow Daoist Yang!" Li Yourong said with a bitter smile.
The maidservant beside him took out the jade box and handed it to Yang Jiuli.
Yang Jiuli accepted it and withdrew.
Subsequently, the representatives of the medicinal herb suppliers began to select animal eggs.
These people could also see the two second-tier beast eggs, but no one chose to pick them.
Even the Fu and Li families had given up on the beast eggs, so they weren't confident they could hatch them successfully.
Thus, even after everyone in the banquet hall had made their choices, no one selected the two beast eggs.
Finally, Li Ruoyu bestowed it upon Li Yourong.
After the banquet, everyone left happily.
……
The three landed in the training ground on Golden Cloud Island.
"Ninth Brother, why did you choose this beast egg? Judging from Master Li's tone, it seems he wanted to dissuade you?" Huang Cheng asked.
"Hehe, I suppose Ninth Brother has some way to successfully hatch this beast egg." Liu Yuelong laughed heartily, holding the jade box in his arms with great joy. He spoke with a touch of arrogance, and his former awe of Yang Jiuli was gone.
After all, the Li family head mentioned that the annual supply of pills would be over four thousand.
They even aim to reach 8,000 units in five years.
In this way, he can refine several hundred 'Azure Profound Pills' a year, and the annual profit sharing can be four to six hundred low-grade spirit stones. If he persists in this way for twenty years, he will have nearly ten thousand low-grade spirit stones, which is enough to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill and change his fate against the heavens!
This made Liu Yuelong feel that his future was bright, and he naturally spoke with more confidence.
"I tend to believe in gut feeling, and this beast egg is extremely beautiful. I imagine the spirit beast that hatches from it will be quite good, so I chose it. As for the method... I'll go to the Li family's scripture pavilion in a few days and see if they have any tips on hatching spirit beasts!"
Yang Jiuli smiled calmly.
"Farewell..." He then flew up to the mountaintop on his sword.
Seeing this, Liu Yuelong and Huang Cheng each went to their own villas.
……
At the mountaintop, the No. 1 villa.
Yang Jiuli landed gracefully, carrying the beast egg in his palm, and arrived at a spiritual spring room.
His mountaintop villa not only has a cultivation room for gathering spirit arrays, but also a spirit spring that can help cultivators grow spiritual herbs and trees.
Yang Jiuli carefully placed the jade box beside the spiritual spring.
Incubating spirit beast eggs also requires sufficient humidity in the air.
Some spirit beast eggs even absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the outside world when they are about to hatch successfully.
Therefore, placing it by the spirit pool is beneficial for successful hatching.
Of course, that applies to spirit beast eggs with normal life force.
Yang Jiuli's spirit beast egg, however, requires a special method.
That is to nourish the beast eggs with the spiritual energy of green wood every day.
In his previous life, Yang Jiuli had a female disciple who cultivated the "Azure Wood Longevity Technique," possessing extremely pure Azure Wood magical power.
She was also an extremely kind and innocent girl. The spirit turtle she once kept gave birth to a weak and fragile animal egg.
Therefore, she nourishes herself daily with the energy of green wood.
Finally, after three months, the beast egg regained its abundant life force and successfully hatched into a small spirit beast.
"I refined a wisp of the Azure Wood Qi from the 'Azure Wood Origin' spiritual root, which is of higher quality than that of the Azure Lotus. It seems that there is a chance to enhance the life energy of this beast egg... and successfully hatch it!" Yang Jiuli whispered, then placed his palm on the beast egg shell.
With a thought, he infused a wisp of pure green wood energy into it.
The aura of the green wood was quite gentle, nourishing all living beings, and it seeped evenly into the beast eggs.
When the green wood energy was incorporated into it, Yang Jiuli could clearly feel some fluctuations within it.
There seemed to be a faint consciousness absorbing the energy of the green wood.
"It can absorb the energy of the green wood, so it seems this beast egg can still be saved!" Yang Jiuli smiled slightly upon seeing this.
I'm glad I didn't make the wrong choice this time.
Next, all you need to do is nourish the beast eggs with the energy of green wood every day!
Of course, the next day, Yang Jiuli still pretended to go to the Li family to find the secret to hatching beasts.
The Li family is ultimately a second-tier Foundation Establishment family. Even if they are not good at raising beasts, they still have some simple methods.
Yang Jiuli is a first-tier high-grade alchemist. With such a status, he can exchange for a manual on hatching and nurturing spirit beasts.
……
March 9th.
Three months have passed since Yang Jiuli and the others obtained the spirit beast eggs.
During this time, Liu Yuelong successfully hatched a purple-winged eagle.
Huang Cheng successfully hatched a white-striped tiger.
Yang Jiuli's beast eggs have not yet shown any signs of life.
At dawn, Yang Jiuli carefully took the beast egg from the edge of the spirit pool, pushed open the door, and flew down the mountain on his sword.
At this point, after three months, Yang Jiuli's success rate in refining the "Azure Mystic Pill" reached 90%.
Liu Yuelong also reached 80%.
Even Huang Cheng reached 50%.
The three have completed their apprenticeship and have begun refining pills on their own, officially supplying the Li family with the "Azure Mystic Pill".
Li Yourong stopped teaching them alchemy.
To reward the three, the Li family specially allowed them to enter the inner lake and choose a small island on the edge as their training ground.
This made all three of them extremely happy.
Inner Lake:
Even on remote islands, there are second-tier spiritual veins, allowing for cultivation speeds far exceeding those of others.
Furthermore, the descendants of the three will cultivate with second-tier spiritual veins from a young age on the island, and their achievements will far surpass those of others.
By all accounts, they have achieved success in their careers and transcended social classes.
Lu Wenzheng and his son came to celebrate their housewarming.
Yang Jiuli and the other two gathered at the training ground at the foot of the mountain.
Yang Jiuli was holding a jade box containing beast eggs.
As for Liu Yuelong and Huang Cheng, they had their families with them.
It also brought two spirit pets with it.
Liu Yuelong married a woman from a collateral branch of the Li family named Li Fen, who is now pregnant.
Huang Cheng did not marry the Li family's daughter, saying that he was of mediocre talent and that women would only hinder his progress.
So he didn't plan to get married early, and he always had a small, furry tiger about a foot tall by his side.
"Ninth Brother, have your beast eggs not hatched yet?" Lu Wenzheng asked as he stepped forward.
His son, Li Yunhai, was beside him.
The little guy is three years old now!
In two more years, we will be able to test our spiritual roots.
As for his wife, she is now pregnant and resting at home.
"Hehe, I see that Ninth Brother's spirit beast egg has become much stronger in terms of life force... but it has been so long and it has not yet hatched, I'm afraid it is not going to make it!" Liu Yuelong glanced at the spirit beast egg in Yang Jiuli's jade box and said with a smile.
Looking at the spirit eagle on his shoulder, he felt even more delighted.
"Ninth Brother, why don't you buy another beast egg? It won't cost many spirit stones," Huang Cheng said.
"Hehe, I think I'll wait a bit longer; maybe a miracle will happen!" Yang Jiuli chuckled.
Seeing this, Huang Cheng and the others didn't say anything more.
Then, the three exchanged a glance and flew towards the inner lake on their swords.
Lu Wenzheng followed with his son.
All three of them chose an island in the inland lake.
However, they were not placed next to each other this time.
Liu Yuelong's northernmost point.
Yang Jiuli is in the center position.
Huang Cheng is located to the south.
Once they reached the inner lake, the three of them flew to their respective islands.
Lu Wenzheng then followed Yang Jiuli.
Although he was related to Liu Yuelong by marriage, he was closer to Yang Jiuli.
Soon, Yang Jiuli arrived at a small island covering a thousand acres.
The island is not large, but it has all kinds of spiritual veins, springs, and pools.
There are also pre-built mansions and cave dwellings on the island.
The mansion is named Snowfall Villa and is built halfway up the mountain.
There is snow on the mountaintop.
This island is only because it is relatively close to the "Cold Dew Island" in the inner lake, which enshrines the ancestor of the Li family who established his foundation.
Therefore, this area is also tinged with some cold energy.
Even in March, snow still falls on the mountaintop.
Yang Jiuli had his own reasons for choosing this island.
This place is close to 'Cold Dew Island', so if something happens to the Li family, he can make some plans and increase his own resources.
