My beast can't be a demon.

Chapter 273 New Ways to Pull Skills
There are many secret realms in this world, but not all of them will be officially opened in the final stage.

Except for those secret realms containing important mineral deposits, those extremely dangerous secret realms will not be opened because they are too dangerous.

Just like the ancient fairyland city that Xu Dalong mentioned.

As one of the core cities of the fairyland back then, this ancient fairyland city does not belong to any sect. It is a place for all fairies to trade and communicate.

Considering the importance of this city, many sects often send powerful elders to take charge here.

In this secret place, the beast masters and the immortals waged a protracted war.

The fight between the powerful immortals and the mythical beasts has shrouded the secret realm where the ancient fairyland city is located in a disordered turbulence of time and space, making it the most dangerous of all known secret realms.

When Zhou Lu heard Xu Dalong's invitation, ecstasy flashed in his eyes.

He came here to accept the mission invitation from the Pioneer Army. In fact, he also had the idea of ​​making friends with the top leaders of the Pioneer Army and exploring the unopened secret realms of the Immortal Sect.

If Hanabi really wants to evolve to the True God stage in a short period of time, the demand for growth will be enormous.

Although his current progress has far exceeded Qiu Dao Mu's expectations, Zhou Lu always feels that there can be no lag in this regard.

If the Dream Rain Flower Fairy really came out of the seal, as its compatriot, Huo Huo would definitely be its first target to devour.

After all, it hasn't seen any other Nine-Life Immortal Grass for thousands of years.

Zhou Lu thought so, and after making sure that most of the branches could survive in this desert, he said goodbye to Xu Dalong and left the secret realm.

After Xu Dalong completes the handover work here, he can follow Xu Dalong to the ancient city of the fairyland.

When Zhou Lu came out of the secret realm, news about the Rui'an Royal Mausoleum had already spread widely in the real world.

The ancestor of mankind millions of years ago, the quasi-god millions of years ago.

Although there is no difference in strength between modern spiritual beasts and ancient spiritual beasts, it is just a choice to adapt to the environment, but people always subconsciously think that ancient spiritual beasts are more powerful.

As a result, Zhou Lu and Hua Huo also became popular due to Wang Ling’s popularity.

"This guy is definitely a congenital sand control saint."

This is what many people think of Fireworks.

Defeating the quasi-god who controls the sandstorm by destroying the desert is a tactic that is truly unheard of.

As netizens dug deeper, Zhou Lu's resume was also dug out.

Junior year this year.

It has only been a year since he became a Beastmaster, but now he is already a fourth-rank Beastmaster and has obtained an A-level exploration certificate.

His original spirit pet has also evolved to a fourth-level quasi-god.

"What the hell?! From what novel did this peerless genius travel through time and space?"

"To be honest, this can no longer be described as a genius, right? This is a monster! This is simply a monster!"

"Isn't he the disaster investigator who broke through decades of mystery in New South Wales?"

"Yes, yes, yes! It's him! I've seen reports that he defeated several immortals!"

As the investigation report on the New South Wales disaster was released, the secrets about the Yangui organization and modern immortals were also revealed.

The authorities also know that they can no longer hide the matter at this time and must make it public.

Back then, the Beastmaster destroyed the immortals and became the master of this world. There is no reason for him to be afraid of immortals.

If they choose to conceal the truth at this time, people will regard them as guilty and cowardly, which will directly endanger the legitimacy of official rule.

In fact, at the beginning of the Beast Taming Era, detailed popular science about immortals was indispensable in popular education, and the description of the skills of the immortal race was also very detailed.

This is also to make ordinary people afraid of these extraordinary people who claim to be immortals.

However, as these beastmasters who defeated the immortals head-on died one after another, their successors, faced with this real history, could not imagine the possibility of defeating the immortals.

As a result, the popularity of the immortals' powerful and cold-blooded nature was gradually replaced by other content.

As Zhou Lu became famous, he suddenly became the object of competition between Xin Yue College and Xin An College.

Zhou Lu had just returned when he met the principal of Xin Yue College.

He hoped that Zhou Lu would simply transfer his student status to Xin Yue College and become a real Xin Yue student. For this, the college could give Zhou Lu a substantial scholarship.

This scholarship does have someone who can help him, and the optional materials are also what Zhou Lu really needs. As long as he accepts this award, he can use the relationship of Xinyue College to get some difficult materials needed for the evolution of the Fireworks Divine Beast.

But Zhou Lu still refused.

Given Principal Wu’s kindness, Zhou Lu would not do such a thing.

However, Xin Yue College is indeed sincere enough.

Even though Zhou Lu refused, the college still fulfilled the promised scholarship.

Such a genius has unlimited possibilities in the future, so Xin Yue College will naturally not miss the opportunity to make friends with him.

As long as you accept the gift, it would be great if you could be invited to be an honorary professor in the future.

This time Zhou Lu did not refuse, mainly because the reward was so good.

"Oh! Our celebrity is back." When Zhou Lu returned home, Wu Xiaoqing was sitting leisurely on the sofa drinking coffee.

When Zhou Lu saw Sister Xiaoqing, he smiled and said, "It's rare that you are not in the lab today."

When this was mentioned, Wu Xiaoqing immediately revealed a meaningful expression.

Seeing the senior's expression, Zhou Lu's heart moved and he turned to look at the laboratory next to him.

This doesn't even look like a laboratory.

All the equipment and utensils were covered with mold.

No, it's not just about mold.

An old smell wafted from the laboratory.

Zhou Lu felt that the room in front of him seemed as if no one had been there for decades.

All the equipment and tables and chairs have aged due to the passage of time.

"What is this?" Zhou Lu immediately noticed something unusual in the laboratory.

Wu Xiaoqing spread her hands and said, "As you can see, there was an accident in the laboratory."

"So, does this mold have any strange functions this time?"

"That's not too strange, right? It accelerates aging." Wu Xiaoqing said thoughtfully, "To be precise, it deprives people of their lifespan."

Zhou Lu almost jumped up when he heard Wu Xiaoqing's words: "Damn it! How can you drink coffee here so peacefully after such an accident?!"

"Now that things have come to this, it's natural for us to take a break first." Wu Xiaoqing blinked and was about to drink the coffee in her hand when she saw that Zhou Lu looked like he was about to explode, so she raised her hand and patted Zhou Lu's shoulder.

"Don't worry. This kind of mold currently only has an effect on non-living things. It can cause materials like plastic to age prematurely and equipment to quickly reach its service life limit." Zhou Lu immediately caught the words in the senior's words: "Currently?"

"Hey, I have modified these molds into types that can infect living things."

"Don't do such a dangerous thing!" Zhou Lu grabbed Wu Xiaoqing's shoulders, "You will destroy the world like this!"

Wu Xiaoqing scratched her cheek: "It didn't work... and it was originally designed for fireworks."

"How did it get to the point of fireworks?"

"Think about it, if Hua Huo acquires such a skill, won't she be able to deprive other people of their lives in the future?" Wu Xiaoqing was very excited when she talked about this. "It's very powerful just to think about it."

Zhou Lu was suddenly speechless.

He always felt that if Hanabi really became some big devil who destroyed the world in the future, this unreliable and out-of-line senior in front of him would definitely be the first to be credited.

But there is one thing Wu Xiaoqing was right about.

Many of the experimental products in her hands possess some strange racial skills.

This is also inevitable.

In order to obtain new results, inducing fungi to undergo specific evolution is the most efficient and quickest means.

Some skills may not be of much use to mushrooms and molds, because these fungi are limited in size and cannot bring out the terrifying power of their racial skills at all.

But if such a skill is grafted onto Fireworks, then combined with Fireworks' attributes and divisions, it will definitely produce unimaginable sparks.

Zhou Lu has always focused his attention on various secret realms, but he completely forgot that there is such a huge treasure trove next to him.

It's not just Wu Xiaoqing.

Because of the existence of specific evolutionary mechanisms, experimental organisms with new traits are born in human laboratories almost every day.

Most of their awakened racial skills are useless.

However, in this world, there are only racial skills that are placed in the wrong creatures, and no completely useless racial skills.

This has been fully demonstrated in Hanabi.

Even if these skills are not used in subsequent fireworks, they can be stored as bullets for [Fool] and [Limited Source].

The more Zhou Lu thought about it, the more it made sense.

Instead of spending a lot of time looking for new species, it is better to first make a big splash with the achievements of human modern scientific and technological civilization.

Anyway, with the existence of the [Doomsday Easter Egg], Fireworks can fully absorb the ability of skills 100% in a short period of time.

"I say...why are you looking at me like that..."

After figuring this out, Zhou Lu looked at Wu Xiaoqing with eyes full of desire.

After explaining the whole story to Wu Xiaoqing, the senior student agreed very readily.

Fireworks left a proportional branch directly next to Wu Xiaoqing.

In the future, this branch will become Wu Xiaoqing's experimental assistant. While absorbing Wu Xiaoqing's already accomplished racial skills, it will also keep an eye on Wu Xiaoqing and prevent her from doing anything wrong again.

Fortunately, the mold this time did not have the characteristics of infecting organisms, otherwise this laboratory accident might have become the starting point of the destruction of the world.

The ability to directly deprive the parasitic object of its lifespan is really too buggy.

Zhou Lu was naturally not satisfied with this.

He called Manman out and explained his idea to her.

Since Qiu Dao Mu hopes that Zhou Lu can train Huo Huo into a mechanical monster to fight against the numerical monster that breaks the seal in the future, it would be more beneficial for Huo Huo to have more racial skills.

Manman immediately conveyed Zhou Lu's thoughts to Qiudao Mu.

Soon, Qiu Daomu sent his opinion.

It agreed that Zhou Lu could gain more racial skills in this way.

With Qiu Dao Mu's instruction, Manman directly gave Zhou Lu a list of scientific research institutions with the most new beast-taming patents.

"The question now is how to contact these scientific research institutions?" Zhou Lu was thinking about it when he heard Manman speak from the side.

No...it should be the Tao-seeking Wood.

"You don't have to think so complicated." Qiu Daomu looked at the old-fashioned laboratory and looked at Wu Xiaoqing speechlessly halfway through his words, "What outrageous thing have you done again?"

Well, has what the senior sister did reached Qiu Dao Mu’s ears?
Wu Xiaoqing coughed twice and repeated what had just happened.

Qiu Dao Mu fell into a long period of thought.

Then it looked at Zhou Lu and said, "I think your problem is a minor issue. The most important thing now should be to discuss burying her. This guy is too dangerous."

Although he knew Qiu Daomu was joking, Zhou Lu still spoke a few words for the senior and promised that such an accident would not happen again.

"I left a branch of Fireworks here and will definitely take good care of you, senior." Zhou Lu said seriously.

Qiu Daomu smiled, spread his hands and said, "Look, now the solution you wanted is here, right?"

Zhou Lu was also slightly stunned when he heard Qiu Daomu's words: "What?"

"Aren't you thinking about how to get in touch with these scientific research institutions and their products?" Qiu Daomu looked at Zhou Lu and said with a smile, "You can ask Hua Huo to make enough similar branches. I will package them into functional general fairies and give them to these scientific research institutions as New Year gifts to reward their contributions to civilization."

Qiu Daomu’s words immediately made Zhou Lu’s eyes light up.

Any scientific research institution has a great demand for general-educated fairies. It’s a pity that nowadays, except for Manman who is beside Zhou Lu, almost all general-educated fairies are in major beast taming academies.

If Qiudao Mu can produce a batch of new general-purpose fairies, even if their functions are somewhat incomplete, as long as they can be distributed to these scientific research institutions, they will definitely welcome it.

As long as they enter these scientific research institutions, Huo Huo's offshoots will have plenty of ways to grab the skills of various research spirit beasts inside.

"Woo...my branch..."

Once you have a clear plan, start executing it immediately.

Qiudao Mu pulled away a large number of Hua Huo's branches, then separated from Manman's body and returned to the Invalides.

Although the quasi-god can control a large number of branches, Hanabi is still a little uncomfortable with the sudden loss of so many branches.

As for controlling the branches in so many scientific research institutions at the same time, it is actually a relatively easy task for Huo Huo. After all, it has to deal with the information transmitted by the branches in various worlds every day, and multitasking has long been the most basic skill.

Even, as long as Hua Huo is willing, Man Man can use some techniques to solidify this multitasking skill into a spirit beast skill card.

In the next few days, Zhou Lu entered a rare state of rest.

The main reason is that Hanabi needs to assist the Truth-Seeking Tree in special training, and cultivate the branches brought back by the Truth-Seeking Tree into beings similar to the General Fairies.

In this way, it can better distribute these strains to various scientific research institutions.
