Chapter 267 The Divine Tortoise's Longevity

"However, some of the research data from the Western Research Institute was sent to the underground black market in the capital."

"And the pet egg of that Mighty Ant."

"We must take it down."

“That’s a variety carefully cultivated by the Western Research Institute, so its genes should be relatively stable.”

The genes of insect-type alien beasts are easily affected by external interference, leading to mutations.

The most common change is in appearance (such as shape, color, smell, etc.).
What's relatively rare is the change in abilities and attributes, such as the transformation from ice attribute to fire attribute.

The Mighty Ants from the Western Research Institute have relatively stable genes, and the next generation of Mighty Ants will basically not undergo genetic mutations.

This makes it easier to conduct research.

Stability is an important factor in conducting scientific research.

News about research materials on the black market.

Ye Bai pretended not to know about the news for the time being, and would report it after his master Zhang Dashan came looking for him.

The key is to obtain the top-secret research data from the Western Research Institute, which Ye Bai believes is a major breakthrough.

However, the underground black market in the capital can only be entered at night, so Ye Bai can go to the Tianyun Beast Market first.

He wanted to intercept that important batch of giant ant larvae and, incidentally, see if there were any other excellent larvae or eggs that would make his research easier.

Ye Bai entered Imperial Capital University and had to start preparing his research project.

As her teacher, Zhang Lingxue certainly paved the way for her.

Hidden Dragon Auction House.

Recently, undercurrents have been swirling, with more and more people receiving invitations from Hidden Dragon Auction House.

This is related to the succession of a top-tier power, and everyone is going all out to obtain it.

This is a road leading to heaven.

Even Ye Bai received an invitation.

Moreover, this invitation appeared in front of Ye Bai without his knowledge.

A black, gold-plated butterfly appeared beside Ye Bai, at which point Ye Bai's shadow began to wriggle.

A huge wolf head emerged from Ye Bai's shadow, and it spewed a mouthful of black flame at the gilded black butterfly.

The black butterflies were ignited by the black flames, and the black ash spread in mid-air, transforming into even more black butterflies that floated in the air.

"Hold your guns, Nether Wolf. I can't sense any killing intent from this guy."

Ye Bai stopped the Netherworld Wolf's actions.

"You sensible little fellow, I was originally planning to teach your pet a lesson, but I'll let it go for your sake."

"Meet at the Hidden Dragon Auction House on the night of the full moon two weeks from now. We'll see you there."

A fragrant breeze wafted by, and numerous black butterflies transformed into a shimmering, colorful invitation, which gently landed in Ye Bai's hand.

The invitation, as smooth as silk, bore the five gilded characters of Hidden Dragon Auction House.

Bathed in light, it seemed to come alive, and the invitation even exuded a delightful fragrance.

"Hidden Dragon Auction House, excellent tactics, excellent tactics."

"Just for an invitation, they used the methods of at least a sixth-tier beast."

"This invitation is made of silkworm silk, making it impervious to swords and spears, and water and fire. The Hidden Dragon Auction House really has some impressive methods."

Ye Bai smiled and carefully put the invitation away.

A grand show is about to begin, and as one of its participants, I'm determined to see it all the way through.

But let's deal with the Mighty Ant first.

Ye Bai doesn't have enough resources yet. He needs to continue his research and make a name for himself so that he can obtain more resources.

Therefore, Ye Bai's current plan is to secretly obtain the evidence first.

The Space Pelican returned; since breaking through to the fifth tier, it has been able to teleport long distances.

Therefore, Ye Bai had the Space Pelican retrieve something very important from Jiaying City, and that thing was the Tortoise Longevity Fruit.

The longevity fruit looks a bit like a dark green turtle.

Upon closer inspection, you can even see the turtle's teeth; it looks like it's asleep.

If used properly, the Tortoise Longevity Fruit can be comparable to a ninth-tier treasure.

Any powerful individual whose lifespan has reached its limit and who wishes to extend it would certainly desire this Longevity Fruit.

Ye Bai saw it in an ancient book.

The Turtle Longevity Fruit, also known as the Turtle Longevity Fruit, is said to grow a snake-like tail on this turtle-like creature when it is soaked in heavenly dew.

Although the divine tortoise lives a long life, it still has an end. This treasure that extends lifespan has a very special rule: it can completely extend one's lifespan by half a cycle of sixty years.

In other words, no matter how many times you consume Divine Turtle Longevity Elixir or other life-extending treasures, each time it will extend your lifespan by half a cycle.

Although Heavenly Dew may seem precious to others, for the Sunflower King, Heavenly Dew is produced in large quantities as long as it absorbs enough essence from the blood of pets.

Ye Bai plans to auction off a portion of the Heavenly Dew at the Hidden Dragon Auction House as a way to build goodwill.

"Sunflower King, I'm entrusting this Tortoise Fruit to you for safekeeping."

"It needs to be irrigated with heavenly dew, and when necessary, it needs to use life essence."

Ye Bai said with unusual seriousness, "This is related to my strategy."

Although his master's lifespan had increased, Ye Bai still wanted him to continue protecting him.

Although the divine tortoise is long-lived, its fruit is of utmost importance.

Sunflower Emperor nodded solemnly.

It carefully placed the longevity fruit into its body as if it were a precious treasure.

Ye Bai's idea was simple: as long as he could raise the Divine Turtle and make it live a long life, he would give this extremely precious herb to Shennong Ginseng.

Shennong ginseng can be used to mass-produce a medicinal liquid that simulates the longevity of the divine tortoise.

Whether it's a single tree or a whole forest, the difference between white and white leaves is quite clear.

"Everyone, get ready, let's go, we're heading to the Heavenly Fortune Beast Market."

Ye Bai waited for a moment, and after confirming that he hadn't left anything behind, he left the house.

The Tianyun Beast Market is located directly east of the capital, facing Daliu Village, where the underground black market is situated. It's evening now, and the market is still bustling with people.

There are many breeders here studying herbs, and some new pet trainers are selecting pets.

Ye Bai, following the system's instructions, arrived at the last house in the market, which was a super-large warehouse.

The warehouse was filled with rows of pet eggs.

"Come on, take a look! We have new pet eggs at great prices."

"One coin is worth five thousand Yan Kingdom coins, one coin is worth five thousand Yan Kingdom coins."

"Buying it is like making a profit, buying it is a great deal!"

This scene is like treating monster eggs as discounted eggs, as if it's part of a promotional event.

On the shelves of the warehouse, I saw rows of crystal-clear pet eggs.

There was a label on the shelf that read "Iron Ant" in large letters.

[Mighty Ant Larvae]

Ironclad ant larvae

Ye Bai used his Eye of Insight to discover that the eggs of the Mighty Ant were hidden among the Ironclad Ants.

He could freely select any of the giant ant's eggs, but he also felt that someone with ulterior motives might discover the clues.

In addition, these tiny eggs, only the size of goose eggs, are not expensive, costing only 100 Yan Guo RMB each.

So Ye Bai simply waved his hand and bought them all.

Anyway, the Han family head allocated a large amount of funds, saying it was to contribute to the research of the Imperial Capital Research Institute.

Ye Bai decided not to ask the school for reimbursement.

"Shopkeeper, I'll buy all the young eggs here."

A shopkeeper with pointed ears and a monkey-like face came over.

"You've taken it all?"

"There are about 10,000 pet eggs. If you buy them all, it will cost one million Yan Kingdom coins."

Ye Bai wiped his face. Oh dear, he'd been underestimated.

Ye Bai felt secretly displeased, so he took out the check given to him by the Han family head and waved it at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper didn't look closely; he was blinded by the string of numbers.

Just as he was about to take a closer look, Ye Bai took it back.

"Give me a receipt with the quantity written on it."

"It's packed up, I'm going to pick it up right away."

Ye Bai appeared quite anxious as he pulled out an anonymous black card.

The advantage of these anonymous black cards is that they cannot be traced to your bank account.

The shopkeeper, a greedy fellow, immediately summoned two powerful bull demons and moved the entire thing, frame and all, into Ye Bai's pet space.

The Mighty Bull Demons are notorious cannon fodder in Hell; they eat little, do a lot, and are incredibly strong.

These two powerful bull demons wore black collars on their heads and nose rings.

They emptied the shelves in no time.

"Boss, I also have the larvae of other strange beasts here. I wonder if you'd be interested?"

The shopkeeper rubbed his hands together, intending to sell the other larval eggs directly.

It just so happens that Ye Bai has also been conducting research in this area recently.

In fact, besides the Mighty Ant, he was also quite interested in other strange beasts like the Brute Longhorn Beetle.

"Bring out whatever good stuff you have."

Anyway, I've already got the Mighty Ant I wanted.

Moreover, he was wearing a mask, so most people wouldn't recognize him.

"Tell me what kinds of exotic beast eggs you have."

"I'll move it out if I'm interested."

"I will not enter the warehouse."

"It's too dark inside, and the air is very murky. I feel exhausted just smelling it."

A hint of disappointment flashed in the shopkeeper's eyes.

This fat sheep didn't fall for it.

If they come with me into the warehouse, I'm confident I can take them down.

Like other easy targets, they were plundered and sold to private mines to become mining slaves.

This shop owner is known for his daring kidney-cutting skills.

But it doesn't matter, I have other plans. None of the big fat sheep I've set my sights on have escaped my grasp.

The shopkeeper lowered his head, his eyes filled with a cunning look.

“Okay, this tablet contains all the alien beast eggs in our warehouse.”

"If there's anything you like, just place an order and buy it."

"The Mighty Bull Demon will bring up the monster eggs."

The shopkeeper politely handed the tablet to Ye Bai.

However, through his Eye of Insight, Ye Bai saw that the tablet was covered with tiny insects invisible to the naked eye.

A cold glint appeared in his eyes. It seemed that this shopkeeper was really targeting me, actually trying to mark his location using such a low-class method.

Ye Bai sneered inwardly, but outwardly remained calm as he took the tablet from his hands.

He allowed the small insects to burrow into his body.

The shopkeeper was relieved after seeing the small insect marked the white leaf.

Ye Bai flipped through the tablet; there were quite a few good things on it.
