Chapter 98: Fun-loving Chu Yi
As for how to feed it and with what, Chu Yi already had an answer.
Divinity!
The Power of Rules within the Treasure reaches its peak, giving birth to supreme Divinity, regarded as the authority of the gods. Of course, using supreme Divinity to repair a defective product was too extravagant. Chu Yi only had five pieces of Divinity left, and the Divine Power stored by the Divine Hand had also fallen to 3/9. Enhancing it with banquet items was now urgent.
"Um..." A childish voice came as Princess Gu Guan approached cautiously. "May I ask, what was that just now?"
"Oh?" His thoughts were interrupted. Chu Yi collected himself and said indifferently, "Just a little trinket I tinkered with in my spare time. Nothing worth mentioning."
Princess Gu Guan was taken aback. Judging by his tone, he seemed to be an Alchemy Master. In Pet Beast training, elixirs are an indispensable part, thus creating the profession of Pharmacists. But that is just a superficial application of materials. The truly advanced ones are those mysterious Alchemists who refine the essence of materials, piecing them together and merging them to create Magic Potions. Different ranks of Alchemists hold different statuses. For instance, high-rank Alchemists can create Magic Potions, and even the legendary forbidden Magic Potions that involve the highest realms!
BOOM—
The transaction was still ongoing when a ferocious dragon roar suddenly thundered from outside the door, deafeningly loud. Everyone was startled, wondering which Beast Tamer dared to release a Pet Beast here and provoke the Night Commerce.
The next moment, the door was pushed open, and a cold aura swept in. The high-level member of the Faceless Association from before walked in quickly. Even with a mask concealing his expression, he could hardly hide his delight. Under everyone's puzzled gaze, he walked up to a robed figure and said respectfully, "Does your Secret Medicine have a method of creation? If you can provide it, I would be extremely grateful, and you will gain the friendship of the Faceless Association."
He paused. Feeling the power that hadn't increased for a long time, he added, "In the future, we will follow any command you have."
After the transaction ended, he had retreated quickly, found a secluded place, and had the Ender Dragon consume the Secret Medicine. The result was that the Ender Dragon's momentum surged, quickly breaking through the bottleneck reached after its potential was exhausted. It rose by a rank, increased its affinity with the shadow element, and acquired a new skill.
To his shock, attribute affinity was inherently fixed. Yet this potion could increase affinity, thereby enhancing the strength of all shadow-element skills. The improvement of one tier might not seem like much, but its overall strength increased by ten percent! For a commander-level Pet Beast of such a gigantic scale, a ten percent increase in strength was simply terrifying.
Even more shocking was the reaction of the shadow-element Beast Tamer experts present. Compared to ordinary people, they could more sensitively feel the increase in Shadow Power. They had never expected it to be a Secret Medicine—a special elixir that could greatly enhance the strength of shadow-element Pet Beasts!
Immediately, among the Faceless Association and Trickster, a group of Beast Tamers, who predominantly had shadow-element Pet Beasts, stared at the robed man, their eyes fiery with an eagerness that was almost devouring. The crowd was no fool. For a high-ranking member of the Faceless Association to leave and then return, this mysterious robed man had to possess the creation method for a Secret Medicine.
A shadow-element Secret Medicine! In the major organizations, shadow-element Beast Tamers constituted the majority. If they could obtain the method for this Secret Medicine, they could greatly expand their organization. Some even secretly plotted, intending to capture the man after leaving the Eternal Night Realm to force out the method for the Secret Medicine.
The burning gazes, fervent greed, and invisible pressure made even Princess Gu Guan, who was beside him, shrink a little towards Chu Yi. Humans are so terrifying...
Suddenly, Princess Gu Guan felt a bit nervous. She tilted her head to look at Chu Yi, her clear purple eyes stained with a hint of worry. In her view, this was a powerful individual of her race. Thinking deeper, perhaps he was secretly protecting her during her trials.
Chu Yi remained silent. He realized that the other man's actions, while seemingly reckless and flattering, were actually designed to put him on the spot, making him a target for everyone. Fortunately, the cunning Chu Yi already had a backup plan.
"You seem to be celebrating too soon. That Secret Medicine actually has significant flaws."
The deep voice drifted slowly, as if carried by a cold wind, making Helian, who stood before him, shiver. As the Vice President of the Faceless Association, second only to one, Helian understood the value of this Secret Medicine. He was preparing to team up with human experts to deal with the Alien Race and extract its method. As for whether the other is indeed an Alien Race, with such great interests at stake, if I think you are, then you are. This was the underground world, after all, and past trade gatherings were not devoid of killings and looting.
"A shadow-element Secret Medicine?" Iron Gall Bear King's ears twitched; his third Pet Beast happened to be of the shadow element.
At this moment, Helian's expression changed drastically, the aura around him becoming chaotic and frenzied.
"What did you do!" His pupils contracted; he immediately realized the problem lay with the Secret Medicine.
He instantly summoned the Ender Dragon. A black Giant Dragon appeared in the trading hall, with air blades formed of shadow slowly swirling around it.
Under the stunned gazes of everyone, the Ender Dragon struggled violently. It smashed its head into the ceiling, and one of its Dragon Claws tore up tables and chairs. Its immense Spiritual body was almost ripped apart. The differentiating shadows writhed, transforming into dragon heads and Dragon Claws. Mouths and eyeballs emerged one after another, as if it had been polluted by Evil Gods and was corroding into a Demon.
"That Secret Medicine will erode the Pet Beast's spirituality, ultimately dragging it into the Abyss!"
"Act now and suppress it!"
"How could there be such a Secret Medicine? It's clearly a trap!"
"No wonder it was used to trade for a defective item. Turns out neither of them was any good. Truly insidious."
"..."
Witnessing this scene, everyone immediately abandoned the idea of the Secret Medicine. At the same time, they were secretly relieved. If they had obtained the method for this Secret Medicine, wouldn't they be poisoning themselves?
Soon, the shadow energy surged at an astonishing rate, reaching a critical point and inflating the Ender Dragon into a ball! Eighteen broken dragon heads roared. Hundreds of severed limbs were mashed together, their mouths gnawing on neighboring organs. A cluster of blood-red eyeballs, resembling wild fruits on a vine, exuded a creepy and bizarre aura.
Helian could no longer prevent the contamination; due to Spiritual sharing and characteristic feedback, he was also being polluted.
Chu Yi had already foreseen the next scene. He smiled faintly and softly uttered a sound.
"POP!"
The next moment, the Ender Dragon, gently poked, exploded.
BOOM—
The shadow fluctuated, a flash of burning light flickering. Immediately, it burst into flames and explosions. The intangible shockwave spread out, carrying both erosion and destruction effects, engulfing the entire trading hall.
CRACK! CRACK!
Those experts confident in their strength summoned their Pet Beasts to defend. However, under the vast explosion, they were all struck as if by a Thunder Strike, retreating step by step. This surge of Shadow Power was too pure; it could destroy a Pet Beast's Spiritual Structure, and Erosion Power had always been the shadow element's specialty.
After the explosion, the Runes embedded throughout the trading hall activated, forming an Energy Barrier that minimized the damage.
